"Ye Xiao, what are you doing? This is a school!" Ling Shuya was pulled by Ye Xiao into a mad dash, which really irritated her. After all, this was a school, and she was something of a focal point. Being dragged around by Ye Xiao like this would obviously draw people's attention.

Ye Xiao let out a chuckle and said, "To take advantage, I can only do this."

"You..." Ling Shuya gave Ye Xiao a cold look and said, "Ye Xiao, can your skin get any thicker?"

"Whether my skin is thick or not, why don't you come over and check?" Ye Xiao snickered, intending to get closer to Ling Shuya.

Ling Shuya clearly understood Ye Xiao's intentions and immediately made sure to keep her distance.

At that moment, Shen Qiuyu also came over.

"Sister Qiuyu, look at Ye Xiao!" Ling Shuya frowned slightly as she spoke to Shen Qiuyu.

Shen Qiuyu responded with a slight smile and looked at Ye Xiao, saying, "Ye Xiao, this is a school, you know."

"Alright, alright. By the way, my little miss, when do I get my paycheck?" Ye Xiao looked at Ling Shuya and asked with a smile.

"Paycheck?" Ling Shuya immediately said, "You still want a paycheck? Are you really lacking that bit of money?"

"How can you say I'm not in need of money? The main point is that it's something I'm entitled to," Ye Xiao said with a look of grievance.

Ling Shuya was just as unyielding and replied, "Let's talk after a full month has passed."

Ye Xiao shrugged, appearing completely indifferent.

Since Shen Qiuyu was not in the same classroom as Ye Xiao, she left ahead of them.

Now it was just Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya looking at each other.

"I'll go ahead!" Ling Shuya pointed at the stairs with a serious face.

"Why should you?" Ye Xiao was not willing to yield.

"I'm a lady, ladies first!" Ling Shuya said.

Ye Xiao thought for a moment and then said, "Alright, ladies first. Go ahead. Whoever reaches the classroom before me will be my little wife. Go on, go on."

Ling Shuya suddenly stood motionless.

Yet Ye Xiao pointed at the stairs and said to Ling Shuya with a snicker, "Hurry up, it's almost time for class."

Ling Shuya didn't budge, her face nearly icing over. She just glared at Ye Xiao without saying a word.

Ye Xiao had said that whoever entered the classroom before her would be her little wife, and since it was just him and Ling Shuya here, it was clearly aimed at Ling Shuya.

Ling Shuya didn't want Ye Xiao's devious plan to succeed, so she didn't move an inch up the stairs.

Ling Shuya inwardly cursed Ye Xiao for his shamelessness, but even though he was shameless, she was helpless against him. She couldn't compete with him in terms of cheek thickness or shamelessness.

Watching Ling Shuya glaring fiercely at him made Ye Xiao chuckle, and then he sauntered toward the teaching building.

While Ling Shuya really wanted to pull Ye Xiao back down and kick him a few times, she ultimately restrained herself from doing so.

However, at that moment, Zhou Yuyan returned.

"Eh? Why aren't you two heading back to the classroom? Class is about to start." Zhou Yuyan looked at Ye Xiao and Ling Shuya curiously.

Ling Shuya glared at Ye Xiao again.

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "If you want to go up first, you can."

"What's going on here?" Zhou Yuyan was puzzled but haughtily said, "If I go up first, I go up first. What could happen?"

As Zhou Yuyan moved to climb the stairs, she heard Ling Shuya call out, "Yuyan!"

Zhou Yuyan, taken aback by Ling Shuya's sudden call, asked, "What is it?"

Ling Shuya saw Zhou Yuyan turn around, inquiring. This made Ling Shuya at a loss for words; after all, should she really repeat exactly what Ye Xiao had said? That would be a bit...

Zhou Yuyan grew even more curious and quickly walked over to Ling Shuya, who promptly whispered in her ear.

Upon hearing Ling Shuya's words, Zhou Yuyan furrowed her brow, shocked. Thankfully, she hesitated earlier; otherwise...

"Ye Xiao, you scoundrel!" Zhou Yuyan glared at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao just snickered, managing to offend a pair of beauties at once.

With limited confidence in himself, Ye Xiao promptly hastened his steps up the staircase, laughing as he went to the classroom.

Ling Shuya watched Ye Xiao leave and then said to Zhou Yuyan, "Let's go."

"Shuya, I have something I need to tell you!" Zhou Yuyan looked at Ling Shuya seriously at that moment.

Ling Shuya saw Zhou Yuyan so serious and immediately said, "Do you want to become Ye Xiao's little wife?"

"Knock it off, you're the one who wants to be his little wife. Humph, I'm trying to discuss something serious with you," Zhou Yuyan said.

Ling Shuya chuckled and said, "Alright, spill it. What's so serious?"

"I might be going back to Yan Capital City. My dad's second wife has already left Minghai City, and both my dad and grandma want me to return to the Zhou family!" Zhou Yuyan looked at her most sincere best friend, knowing that telling Ling Shuya this would make her very sad, but after much deliberation, Zhou Yuyan still felt it was best to tell her.

"You're leaving Minghai City?" Ling Shuya's originally playful expression gradually dimmed upon hearing Zhou Yuyan's words.

"Not sure yet, but they want me to go back," Zhou Yuyan said.

"You should go back!" Ling Shuya suddenly said.

Zhou Yuyan, surprised by Ling Shuya's immediate response, had expected her to want her to stay.

But now Ling Shuya was saying 'should go back' without a second thought.

As if she read Zhou Yuyan's mind, Ling Shuya quickly said, "Yuyan, you're my best buddy. Whether we're together or not, we always will be. You've been in Minghai City for nearly two years now, and you've only gone back to Yan Capital City a mere three times, mostly returning the same day. As your buddy, I wish we could hang out more, but as your buddy, I must also consider your family, especially your grandmother, who's getting on in years. To be blunt, who knows how many years she has left. She'd probably want you to live with her even more. I don't want to be so selfish that I disregard the feelings of you and your family!"

Hearing Ling Shuya lay it all out, Zhou Yuyan was deeply moved.

Nevertheless, what Ling Shuya said was within expectations.

Despite her usual impulsiveness, Ling Shuya indeed had a sense of the greater good.

"Thank you, Shuya!" Zhou Yuyan said sincerely.

Ling Shuya replied to Zhou Yuyan, "What's there to thank me for? What kind of relationship do we have? If I were a guy, I'd definitely marry you."

"Get lost. Why don't you say that if I were a guy, I'd be the one to spoil you?" Zhou Yuyan raised an eyebrow.

Ling Shuya looked around, saw no one, chuckled lowly, and said, "You've been spoiled already; there's nothing left for me to spoil."

"Hmph, haven't you been spoiled as well? Ye Xiao has spoiled you more than just once or twice," Zhou Yuyan retorted immediately after Ling Shuya spoke so plainly about her.

Ling Shuya was at a loss for words upon hearing Zhou Yuyan's remark, regretting why she brought up such nonsense, wasn't this just causing trouble for herself?

Meanwhile, after Ye Xiao returned to the classroom, he just lay on the desk reading a novel since he truly had nothing better to do at the moment.

Initially, Ye Xiao thought nothing else would happen today, but as the first class was about to end, Su Yun suddenly rushed to the classroom door, looking straight at Ye Xiao and said, "Ye Xiao, come out."

Ye Xiao, who was on his phone, found it strange when Su Yun called out to him so abruptly but still stood up and walked out with her!

"What's wrong, Sister Su?" Ye Xiao asked curiously.

"Did you smash someone's car?" Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao with a frown.

Hearing Su Yun's question, Ye Xiao chuckled and responded, "Sister Su, you're quite well-informed, aren't you? Yes, I smashed someone's car. What about it?"

"What about it? Do you realize that the car was a Mercedes-Benz S600, worth over two million Yan Country Coins?" Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao in surprise.

Ye Xiao laughed again and said, "I know, I know. If it hadn't been a Mercedes-Benz S600, I wouldn't have bothered smashing it."

"Ye Xiao, are you okay?" Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao and said, "That person has already called the police, and the cops are now in Principal Yao's office. Principal Yao says he wants you to go there."

"That quick?" Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "I thought it would be till noon or so. Alright, I'll go right now."

"Be sure to speak properly when you get there, and clarify the situation. Um, I'll go with you!" said Su Yun, a bit worried.

Ye Xiao immediately smiled and said, "No need, it's not a big deal. You don't have to go. You know, I'm pretty familiar with the police."

"But I heard they have witnesses and evidence, you can't dodge it even if you want to," Su Yun mentioned.

Ye Xiao replied, "I'm not planning to dodge it. If I smashed it, then it's on me. After all, I'm a man; if I can't even take responsibility, how am I supposed to get by?"

Ye Xiao's statement was principled, but Su Yun was still worried.

Ye Xiao continued, "Besides, I'm not particularly interested in lessons right now, so I might as well go take a look."

With that, Ye Xiao headed straight for the staircase.

Su Yun had intended to accompany Ye Xiao, but it was clear that he wasn't going to let her follow. Considering Ye Xiao said he knew people from the Guard Bureau, she figured it might be better this way.

Although Su Yun was worried, Ye Xiao told her not to follow, so it didn't seem right to insist.

And Ye Xiao quickly left the teaching building and soon arrived at the principal's office in the administrative building.

Ye Xiao first knocked on the door.

A voice from inside, Yao Zhengming's, immediately called out!

"Come in!"

Subsequently, Ye Xiao pushed the door open and entered!

Upon entering the office, there were two policemen sitting inside. These officers had initially been casually chatting with Principal Yao with their legs crossed, but as soon as Ye Xiao entered, one of the policemen immediately stood up, smiling affably at Ye Xiao!
