Entering the classroom, Su Yun still hadn't arrived, and the room was relatively noisy. As Ye Xiao and Zhan Bo walked in, many eyes turned toward Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao had become quite the celebrity in class one; he had given Han Fei a good thrashing the day before and managed to safely lead Zhan Bo out of the abandoned building—feats not just anyone could accomplish. Especially those girls in the class who didn't yet have boyfriends, they were right in the midst of their springtime of youth, and so, Ye Xiao naturally became the idol in their hearts!

When Ye Xiao entered the class, he found that someone else was sitting in his seat from before, and that person was Han Fei!

Ye Xiao didn't bother with him and went straight to where Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan sat. He handed Zhou Yuyan the fountain pen with a smile and said, "I don't know much about fountain pens, not sure how good this one is!"

"It's pretty good, thanks!" Zhou Yuyan replied with a smile to Ye Xiao.

"No problem!" Then, Ye Xiao leaned over and said to Ling Shuya, "Shuya, you're the class president. Can you arrange a new seat for me? Han Fei is occupying the spot I sat in yesterday!"

Ling Shuya immediately snickered and said, "You could just beat him up and take his seat!"

"This... But you're the class president!" Ye Xiao said with a wry smile!

As class president, wasn't she supposed to maintain discipline? Why was this girl always thinking about how to get him into a fight?

Ling Shuya said, "So what if I'm the class president? It's not me who's fighting. Anyway, if you don't grab it, then wait for Teacher Su to come. But, I heard Teacher Su is sick today. We still don't know if she'll come back!"

"Teacher Su is sick? What happened to her?" Ye Xiao asked, puzzled.

Ling Shuya gave Ye Xiao a look and said, "What's it to you, seeing how tense you are!"

Ye Xiao said, "She's our teacher after all. Caring about the teacher is necessary!"

That's when Zhou Yuyan said to Ye Xiao, "Teacher Su probably caught a cold. I heard it's pretty severe. If it weren't for school, I'd really like to go see her!"

"Oh, I see!" Ye Xiao nodded and then walked straight to the back of the classroom!

Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan immediately looked toward Ye Xiao. Ling Shuya said to Zhou Yuyan, "Do you think Ye Xiao will really beat up Han Fei?"

"I don't know, but it's hard to say. Let's just watch the fun!" Zhou Yuyan snickered.

When Ye Xiao approached Han Fei, Han Fei also looked towards Ye Xiao. Not only Han Fei, but many other students also turned their gaze to Ye Xiao, clearly wanting to know what Ye Xiao was going to do approaching Han Fei. Could it really be to hit Han Fei? If that was the case, then there would be a good show to watch!

Before, Han Fei had dominated the classroom, so seeing this tyrant getting bullied, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude.

Ye Xiao walked up to Han Fei's desk, stopped, and looked at Han Fei.

Seeing Ye Xiao standing by his side, Han Fei immediately looked at him warily and said, "What do you want?"

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "I don't want anything. I left a novel here yesterday that I want to take and continue reading, no problem, right?"

"Novel? What novel? Let me see!" Han Fei, truly not wanting to be too close to Ye Xiao, that god of plague, immediately checked his desk and indeed found a novel. He quickly handed the novel to Ye Xiao, and everyone could see that Han Fei was genuinely scared of Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao took the novel and said to Han Fei with a smile, "Thanks!"

Then, Ye Xiao went straight to the back of the classroom and started reading the novel against the wall!

This certainly was something nobody expected!

Zhan Bo, seeing Ye Xiao without a place to sit, immediately came over and said, "Brother Xiao, take my seat!"

"It's okay, I can stand!" Ye Xiao said.

At that moment, a sturdy-looking youth sitting by the back door offered Ye Xiao his seat, "Brother Xiao, sit here. I have an extra stool!"

Zhan Bo immediately laughed and said to the youth, "Weii Yang is quite considerate. Brother Xiao, you should just endure it for now!"

Weii Yang looked at Zhan Bo and said, "What are you talking about? Careful, or I'll beat you up!"

Now, Zhan Bo was afraid of no one, especially with Ye Xiao backing him up!

"Come on then, I'd like to see you try!" Zhan Bo retorted unyieldingly.

"Stop it, you two!" Ye Xiao looked at Weii Yang and said, "Your name is Weii Yang, right?"

The youth nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Xiao. My name is Weii Yang."

Ye Xiao said, "Thanks for the stool. I'll just squeeze in with you today!"

Weii Yang grinned broadly and said to Ye Xiao, "No worries, I don't feel like studying anyway. I often read novels, and I have a few good ones here too!"

Ye Xiao turned to Zhan Bo and said, "Go back to your seat."

Zhan Bo nodded and promptly returned to his own seat!

Everyone was looking at Ye Xiao now; no one had expected Wei Yang, who seldom spoke, to actively help Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao sat down and Wei Yang immediately picked up a novel, smiled, and asked Ye Xiao, "Brother Xiao, do you want to read this?"

Ye Xiao glanced at the title of the book, then smiled and said, "Do you really like reading novels about the underworld?"

Wei Yang again grinned widely and said, "Yeah, I find these underworld novels quite interesting and thrilling. Every time I read them, I get really excited!"

"It seems you're quite obsessed, do you also want to become a character from these books?" Ye Xiao asked Wei Yang!

Putting down the novel, Wei Yang said, "To tell you the truth, yes, although cutting and killing is dangerous, it's quite an exciting life. If heaven gave me the chance, I would definitely want to join the underworld."

Ye Xiao chuckled, "So you want to become a boss?"

Wei Yang shook his head and said, "Not that, I'd like to be the pioneer who charges into battle. Being a boss requires too much thinking, I'm not cut out for that!"

Ye Xiao laughed and said, "In this society, as long as a person dares to dream, they can turn it into reality. Dreams and reality are only a hair's breadth apart, I believe your dream will come true!"

Wei Yang said, "I hope so, but I believe it's definitely not easy to achieve!"

Ye Xiao said, "You have to believe in yourself!"

Wei Yang grinned, nodded, and said, "Thanks!"

Then Wei Yang immediately went back to reading his novel about the underworld with rapt attention!

Ye Xiao was very curious about Wei Yang's peculiar aspiration—this guy actually dreamed of joining the world of gangland strife, and moreover, he didn't even aspire to become a boss. Could it be that he wanted to experience that kind of life?

At that moment, Ye Xiao thought of Zhao Dapeng. If Wei Yang was willing, he could let him try. If it didn't work out, then so be it!

Before long, it was time for class. The first class was supposed to be literature, but because Su Yun was sick, it turned into a self-study period!

Ling Shuya sat at the lectern and the students inside the classroom were either previewing their reading or writing exercises. Most were studying, as they were almost graduating, and the pressure was on. However, Ye Xiao and Wei Yang, sitting in the back row, were fervently engrossed in their novels!

In the blink of an eye, the first class ended. After Ye Xiao went to the restroom, he came out and suddenly remembered that Su Yun had a pretty serious cold. Su Yun took good care of him, so shouldn't he go check on her?

Ye Xiao also knew from Su Yun yesterday that she had come to Minghai City alone—a woman in her early twenties, alone in a strange land, and now down with a cold, she needed family care the most. Yet, she was facing it alone. Ye Xiao thought it over and decided it would be better to check on Su Yun. Otherwise, if something serious happened to her, perhaps nobody would know!

Just then, Zhan Bo came out of the restroom, and Ye Xiao pulled him aside and asked, "Do you know where Teacher Su lives?"

"The teachers' family housing, what's up?" Zhan Bo asked in confusion!

Ye Xiao asked, "Do you know exactly which floor, which door?"

"It should be the third floor, west apartment. I heard some female classmates who visited Teacher Su mention it!" Zhan Bo looked at Ye Xiao with puzzlement and said, "Brother Xiao, why are you asking about this?"

"It's nothing, I'm just asking. As a new transfer student, shouldn't I think about bringing a gift? How could I not!" Ye Xiao said!

Zhan Bo said, "Brother Xiao, you're wasting your effort. Although some teachers accept gifts from students' parents, Teacher Su isn't like that. Once, a student's parent tried to give her a gift, and she was so outraged that she reported it to the school!"

"So Teacher Su is really righteous and upright!" Ye Xiao exclaimed in admiration!

"Yes, Brother Xiao, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to the classroom, I'm right in the middle of a mobile game, and it's really exciting!" Zhan Bo said!

Ye Xiao nodded and said, "Go ahead!"

After Zhan Bo left, Ye Xiao immediately departed from the classroom doorway and quickly exited the teaching building!

The teachers' family housing was easy to find. Following Zhan Bo's directions, Ye Xiao quickly made it to the third floor west apartment and knocked at the door.

After a short wait, the door opened, but it wasn't Su Yun who answered—instead, a middle-aged man did.

Ye Xiao was taken aback. Could this be Su Yun's boyfriend, and such an older one at that? Did Su Yun have a preference for older men?

"Excuse me, is Teacher Su here?" Ye Xiao inquired tentatively.

"You mean Teacher Su? She lives across from here!" the middle-aged man said!

Upon hearing the man's words, Ye Xiao quickly said, "Oh, okay, thank you!"

At this point, Ye Xiao's worries settled down—it wasn't what he thought.

But where had Zhan Bo gotten that address?

Ye Xiao then walked to the third floor, east apartment, and knocked, but no one responded. Ye Xiao wondered what was going on. Perhaps Su Yun had gone out?

Ye Xiao figured it was best to go back to class since Su Yun wasn't there.

However, just as Ye Xiao was about to turn to walk down the stairs, he suddenly heard a 'thud' from inside the east apartment, like something had fallen to the floor. Alarm bells went off in his head. Someone was inside, but why wasn't Su Yun opening the door?

Ye Xiao's brow furrowed. Could something have happened?
