Chapter 536 (2/2)

It came as no surprise when Zhao Youyue almost casually found a local, cost-effective restaurant. It was suitable for small gatherings among classmates. It was not some high-end restaurant, but one more catered to these newbies who had just entered university life.

Lady Zhao was one-of-a-kind. She attended school to enjoy the pleasures of leisurely school life. To her, high school and universities were one and the same. Time to resume her leisurely life…

Zhao Youyue finished ordering the dishes with great efficiency. She had learnt her lesson from the past. According to her previous style, she would have definitely ordered each and every single dish, as she was not here to fill her stomach, but to taste the foods.

She was no longer as extravagant and wasteful. Perhaps it also had something to do with her incognito mode. Even her glorious hair was hiding in plain sight as a ponytail. Letting her hair down would cast a shadow upon this mortal plains.

Her hair was her Lady’s crown!

The male students jumped at the chance to order some beer. Han Leng wisely stayed out of it. He expressed his intentions to continue writing after dinner once he got back home, so he had to sit this one out. Nobody forced him into it.

After a few glasses of beer and some tasty dishes, everyone got to know a little more about each other. Ah, university bliss…

Zhao Youyue soon learned names of the other two male students. Heavyset Ning Yao was deep into rock music. He hoped to form a band in university. He even hoped to produce some songs of his own, and to make it on stage during the famous Music Festival within the campus.

Xiao Yu was diminutive and scrawny. Everyone affectionately called him “Little Fish”[1]. He barely stood over 170cm, but was already with girlfriend, and much love did they share. It was not even a long distance love relationship. His girlfriend had also successfully entered a university in Jiangnan Provincial. They would date on a weekly basis, enjoying their wonderful uni-life.

Out of the blue, this Xiao Yu started bragging about how unfaithful he was and how good he was at hooking up with girls. Perhaps it was the alcohol talking, even though he had only taken a bottle. His ramblings became less restrained, and he even started picking up on Zhao Youyue. He even admitted that if he ever met a pure elite scholar like Zhao Youyue, he would definitely pursue her, by all means!

Beside him, Zhang Xiang quickly grabbed the little man by the shoulders and started shaking him to his senses, “Oy, wake up! Not even Master Han has said anything; it won’t be your turn anytime soon!”

Zhang Liang was another interested character. He already started forcing the “class flower” title upon Zhao Youyue during dinner. He seemed to have forgotten that he once decided that the beautiful blonde girl beside Zhao Youyue was the most beautiful girl in class.

Lady Zhao remained impassive. How would such schoolboy pickup lines vacillate her?

She was way better at picking up girls than their multiple lifetimes could ever be!

She focused her attention on He Weiwei during dinner. He Weiwei was lullingly coaxed into a state of semi-conscious obedience… the educator would-be was now the educated!

Was this a coup, or a transference of power? Either way, it was a great success…

Translation Note:

[1] Little Fish – “Little Fish” is the nickname for this boy named Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu (肖禹) is his actual name. Whereas the nickname “Little Fish”(小鱼) is actually a nickname which is also pronounced as “Xiao Yu” in Chinese. There are many Chinese words with the same pronunciation. Therefore, Chinese always applies terms with the same pronunciation as a nickname onto a person’s actual name.
