Zhan Bo, Weii Yang, and Sun Yuze, who were all jests and laughter, showed changes in their expressions after hearing Ye Xiao's words.

In the end, these three were young, only eighteen years old. An eighteen-year-old youth can contemplate many things, but actually doing them is a different matter. Most likely, many feats are beyond their grasp; those earth-shattering endeavors usually remain fantasies in their minds, like becoming rich, becoming a superstar, or becoming a societal magnate.

These are merely fantasies, often impossible to achieve immediately.

Clearly, the trio thought the same way. What set them apart was their acquaintance with Ye Xiao. Through Ye Xiao, they learned some things they ordinarily shouldn't have known. However, they'd always relied on Ye Xiao. At least for now, they hadn't considered whether they could create miracles of their own without Ye Xiao's support.

Ye Xiao, with a face full of surprise, slowly said, "Tang Xuewen is a talent. Communicate with him more. Many things are not as simple as you imagine. Remember my words, nothing is impossible. The question is whether you are willing to do it."

The three looked at Ye Xiao, without a word, their heads unconsciously bowing, as if they were blaming themselves for disappointing Ye Xiao's expectations.

"Okay, I've got other things to handle. You all think it over," Ye Xiao said, and immediately turned to walk towards the school entrance.

Ye Xiao's ultimate goal was only one: to find his parents. But the journey to find his parents was truly arduous. Although he didn't know the exact identity of his parents, he understood that Ye Xiao's parents were definitely not ordinary people. Even though his power was already mighty, he knew there were still many in the world far stronger than him. That's why Ye Xiao least wanted to put himself in the spotlight, which is why he didn't want to personally handle the establishment of a company.

Ye Xiao believed himself to be a dragon soaring through the skies, but he also knew, compared to many others, he was not a divine dragon but at most a young dragon.

Thus, Ye Xiao hoped to stand behind a power strong enough, even though that power was under his control, he preferred that the true bosses didn't notice him.

Ye Xiao might fear nothing in heaven or earth, but everyone has their vulnerabilities and fears. What Ye Xiao feared the most was probably dying before finding his parents.

If that happened, Ye Xiao would die with his eyes wide open with regret.

Minghai Academy Entrance.

"What would they say?" Zhou Yuyan asked, puzzled, to Ling Shuya beside her.

Ling Shuya indifferently replied, "What does it matter to us what they say? When those guys get together, it's definitely no good."

Zhou Yuyan, only half understanding, nodded at Ling Shuya's words, then suddenly laughed and said, "Shuya, it's just us two now, tell me, how many times have you really been with Ye Xiao?"

"You little minx, what's on your mind all day?" Ling Shuya's face turned slightly red, and she immediately reached to tickle Zhou Yuyan's neck.

Zhou Yuyan broke into giggles, evading Ling Shuya's hands and laughed, "Come on, aren't we best friends? Can't we have fun together anymore?"

"Go away, don't talk to me. Your mind is too dirty," Ling Shuya chased after Zhou Yuyan, feigning anger.

At this moment, school was letting out, so there were many students at the school's entrance. Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were celebrities at the school, the two most beautiful girls in Minghai Academy. Now, they were playfully fooling around with no care for onlookers, which left many male students transfixed. Clearly, in their hearts, Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were goddesses.

"Where are you looking with those eyes? Look at me. Am I worse than Ling Shuya? Am I not beautiful?" A chubby girl, at least 150 pounds and no taller than 5'3", glared at a skinny boy next to her, huffing with exasperation.

Clearly, the chubby girl was jealous that her boyfriend was staring so hard at Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan.

The skinny boy, upon hearing the chubby girl, glanced at Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan, then back at the chubby girl, and immediately retorted, "What's all the fuss? Don't block my view of the goddesses."

The skinny boy's words immediately incited the chubby girl to explode, "What were you saying when you courted me? Weren't you going to be wholeheartedly devoted to me for life?"

"Come on, take a good look at yourself in the mirror, why don't you? You're as plump as Zhu Bajie's aunt, and you still dare to call yourself beautiful. I'm telling you, I must have been out of my mind back then. Just go away, don't stop me from admiring the goddesses. Look at their figures, such slim waists, tsk tsk, just looking feels good. Then look at you, so young and your waist is already as wide as a toilet."

The chubby girl finally lost her temper, swiped at the skinny boy, knocking him over, and on the spot gave him a loving pat, with the skinny boy howling like a banshee.

...

"What's going on?" Ye Xiao, who had just walked over, saw a crowd gathered not far away, with agonizing screams emanating from within, and immediately asked Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan with curiosity.

The two had overheard the conversation between the chubby and skinny couple, exchanging glances and giggling, "Probably just expressing their affection."

"My god," Ye Xiao couldn't help but be astonished, saying, "Expressing affection doesn't need to be so earnest, right? Wow... that's quite enthusiastic."

"Enthusiastic?" Ling Shuya hummed, saying, "Tonight, back at the villa, we'll also express our affection very well with you."

"Sure, shall we go to your room or mine? Let's go to yours, the bed is softer," Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and replied.

Zhou Yuyan once again looked at Ling Shuya with a doubtful gaze, and the latter immediately glared at Ye Xiao, seething with anger.

Ye Xiao, as if he hadn't seen it at all, looked around and then asked, "Is Lan Lan gone?"

"Yes, right, where is Lin Dieying? Wasn't she supposed to wait here?" Zhou Yuyan asked Ye Xiao with confusion.

Ye Xiao was puzzled too, but just then, he saw two people running over from inside the school; it turned out to be Lin Dieying and Shen Qiuyu.

"I'm really sorry for the delay, a little something came up," Lin Dieying ran over and apologetically said to everyone, "Now let's go; my mom has reserved a place at Hanxiang Restaurant. They should be almost there by now; we can just head straight there."

Afterwards, Lin Dieying gave Ye Xiao directions to Hanxiang Restaurant, and then he and the four women headed straight for the Q Rei.

After they got on the Q Rei, Ye Xiao started it up and drove towards Hanxiang Restaurant.

It was the evening rush hour, so Ye Xiao couldn't drive very fast; the location of Hanxiang Restaurant was in the city center, so it was even more congested there.

Although Ye Xiao was a good driver, because the road was full of cars and he maintained the principle of not "kissing" other vehicles, they took over half an hour to arrive at Hanxiang Restaurant.

"This traffic is really terrible. I think riding a bicycle or an electric bike would be faster than driving," Zhou Yuyan said with a laugh.

Ling Shuya also said, "Exactly, it seems that we need to get some electric bikes in the future."

Hearing what Ling Shuya said, Zhou Yuyan immediately responded with a cheerful grin, "Alright then, that's decided. By the way, isn't it a bit impolite for us to arrive so late? Aunt Li must have already been here for a while."

Upon hearing Zhou Yuyan's apologetic words, Lin Dieying quickly responded, "It's okay, my mom won't mind. She's more grateful to you all."

Ling Shuya immediately turned to Lin Dieying and said, "Die Ying, it's nothing big; we're friends, and it's only right to help each other out."

Ye Xiao immediately chimed in, "You hear that, Die Ying? Don't stand on ceremony with the young lady here; she's loaded."

Ling Shuya glared at Ye Xiao and retorted, "Why are you everywhere?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and then fell silent.

Following Lin Dieying, the group entered Hanxiang Restaurant. Once inside, Lin Dieying immediately found the hall manager and inquired, "Has anyone arrived for the Green Moon Hall?"

The hall manager seemed to have already met Lin Dieying and quickly said, "Hello, Miss Lin, you and your party are the first to arrive for the Green Moon Hall. Not sure why, they said they'd come an hour early, but they haven't shown up yet."

Hearing the hall manager's words, Lin Dieying's brow slightly furrowed as she said, "Oh, I see."

Ye Xiao stepped forward and looked at Lin Dieying, asking, "What's wrong? Everything okay?"

"It's nothing; my mom might be stuck in traffic. Plus, it's my uncle who's coming to pick her up," Lin Dieying explained.

Hearing Lin Dieying's explanation, Ye Xiao became very puzzled and asked, "Your uncle? Which uncle?"

"It's Sister Xuewei's dad. Actually, today's meal is also funded by Sister Xuewei's dad. My mom and I couldn't afford the cost of a meal here," Lin Dieying said with self-deprecating laughter.

In the past, Lin Dieying wouldn't have had such worries, but her family's decline had made this beautiful girl's character even more resilient.

Ye Xiao looked at Lin Dieying's self-mocking smile and sighed to himself, but said nothing aloud.

Lin Dieying turned to Ye Xiao, Ling Shuya, Zhou Yuyan, and Shen Qiuyu and said, "Let's go in first; I believe my mom and the rest will arrive soon."

The group then followed Lin Dieying to the Green Moon Hall.

Walking into the Green Moon Hall, they found that the layout was quite nice. It wasn't a high-end restaurant, but it was among the best of the mid-range.

"Die Ying, how did you do on the exams this time?" everyone began to chat casually after sitting down.

Lin Dieying said, "The questions weren't easy, but they weren't too difficult either."

"Easy for those who know how, I bet you'll still be the top of our year," Ling Shuya said, "My goal this time is to be second in the whole school."

At that moment, Ye Xiao, sitting beside them, immediately said with a proud smile, "My goal is to be number one in the whole school."
