The man, choked up by Xia Yu’s harsh words, said, “My father has worked for yours for 20 years, our families are close, no?”
His words implied that the families were good friends and that Xia Yu telling him he couldn’t call him Siyao was unreasonable.
Taking out another egg and cracking it on the table, Xia Yu chuckled. “You think your father works for my father, but some might think it’s the other way around!”
He didn’t refute that the families knew each other. He only made the difference in their social status clear.
The man’s face became red. His tone became angrier, “I’m your teacher. Why can’t I call you by your name?”
“Teachers can sit wherever they want without permission?” Xia Yu retorted.
“I– ”
Before the man finished, Xia Yu stopped him again.
“You seem to misunderstand our relationship,” Xia Yu said as he peeled the egg.
“I’m your teacher. Some might think you were my teacher!” The man retaliated with the same words Xia Yu used earlier.
“In a regular school, teachers come first, then come the students. Here, it’s the opposite.”
Elite schools were a place for high society to network, a social place for their children. Here, the students were the priority.
The man had a realization: If he got into conflict with a student, he would not have the upper hand.
“Today has been really interesting. Maybe I can talk about it at some dinner. What do you think?” Xia Yu had finished peeling the egg. He fed it to Feng Yujia.
The man panicked. Xia Yu’s statement was a clear warning.
Talking about it at some dinner? It meant Siyao would tell her parents about it!
“I have something to do. I’m off.” The man grabbed his lunch tray and left quickly.
Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo both sighed with relief.
The sisters were well-mannered society girls, so they didn’t know how to deal with shameless men like this.
“So sorry.” Feng Yujia looked apologetic. The man had come over for her.
Looking at Feng Yujia, Xia Yu felt even more disgusted at the man.
The man was a creep targeting young women!
“It’s okay. Lovely flowers always attract some animals.” Xia Yu wasn’t surprised by Feng Yujia’s experience.
Flowers attracted butterflies and bees, but grass stayed fine. There were plenty of evil people in this world, yet they could be picky too, and not bother average people.
Hearing Xia Yu’s description of her as “lovely flower,” Feng Yumo’s face heated.
Embarrassed, she changed the topic. “Siyao, you were amazing.”
“Yeah.” Feng Yujia agreed.
Their admiration made Xia Yu uncomfortable.
In fact, they just had a typical verbal confrontation. If the sisters wanted to, they could do the same. The hard thing wasn’t the words, it was the attitude.
Feng Yumo and Feng Yujia couldn’t confront the man because of their social training. The man’s aggression just made them want to escape instead of fighting back.
Just like knowing there were no ghosts, people were still afraid of walking in the dark. Knowing something and doing something was different.
“I was just going to leave with my tray. Siyao, you were awesome,” Feng Yujia told Xia Yu.
“Yes, I always just dodge him,” Feng Yumo said with frustration.
“For people with class, being dodged by young women is mortifying and would stop them from trying again. But for shameless people, your hiding just made him feel more powerful and wanted to try even more,” Xia Yu said as he peeled the egg.
“What do I do next time?” Feng Yumo was worried.
Feng Yujia has had some fights with her sister lately, but she was still concerned for her, and she was worried too.
If the teacher really did something over the line, they’d have fought back. But the man always just hovered at the boundary, acting slightly rude.
“Next time you see him, tell him thanks for your concern and that you’ll ask your father to thank him later.”
Unlike these two sheltered girls, their elders, titans in the business world, weren’t easy to deal with.
The teacher was just a high-end worker’s son, he wouldn’t be able to fight these business mavens.
“Scare him verbally?” Feng Yujia understood.
“Yes.” Nodding, Xia Yu peeled off the last piece of eggshell. He smiled.
Before he put the egg in his mouth, he could see the sister’s hungry gaze.
“This is mine.” Xia Yu tried to block them.
He had fed the girls food before since he needed to do something to show his calmness, or he wouldn’t be able to dominate the man with his attitude.
There were five eggs on the plate before, now there were only three.
Feng Yujia and Feng Yumo stopped staring with resignation.
Soon, they found a new source of joy.
They began feeding Xia Yu differently. Instead of adding food to his plate, they put food in his mouth.
The three girls were all stunning, combined with the beautiful food, they made an appetizing picture
The girls around them looked on with envy.
…
After eight hours, Xia Yu returned to his body.
He was at the coffee shop, doing his pianist job. His body on deposit with the system had played for half an hour. When Xia Yu returned, the body stopped for a break, allowing Xia Yu to have a transition.
This was the first time Xia Yu had his deposited body play the piano. He wasn’t sure how good it was.
Looking at everyone’s expressions, it seemed to be fine.
He adjusted his mental state and began playing “The Pope’s Dancer.”
He sighed as he played.
Some people would be at an elite school by day and worked at a coffee shop at night.
A line of text appeared.
[You triggered an event.]
[You have won an extra 240 points.]
[You have won a total of 720 points in this game.]
Event? The fight with that man?
He earned half an experience prop, which cost 480, just by dealing with that man. What a deal!
After two and a half hours of piano-playing. Xia Yu picked up a cake and returned home.
Seeing the cake, Youxue put down the black cat she was holding. She sat in a chair, eating the cake while dangling her feet.
Xia Yu picked up a cat toy, playing with the black cat.
The cat agilely chased the toy back and forth.
The cat toy came from that reality show he did. He got it from the site, initially to mess with the host, but the host just gave him the toy.
“It’ll be six soon.” Youxue reminded Xia Yu after finishing the cake. Xia Yu always locked himself in his room at six p.m.
“I’m not busy today,” Xia Yu answered.
“Oh.” Youxue nodded. She asked tentatively, “What do you do in the room every day?”
The question had troubled her for a while. She’d inspected the trash can in Xia Yu’s room during cleaning. There weren’t more tissues in there.
“Don’t worry about grown-up things.” Xia Yu didn’t want to lie to Youxue. He ruffled her hair, making it messy.
“Humpf!” Youxue complained.
Xia Yu slept in his own body that night, which was a rare experience. Before seven a.m, he woke up, stretched, then started washing up.
He thought about what to do with Xu Youxiang as he brushed his teeth.
Another string of words appeared in front of him.
[The body you targeted is on the verge of death.]
