Shu Bai's eyes turned cold: "Teacher Li, since you know so much about the law, why don't you go and get a lawyer's license?"
Li Yuheng shrugged: "What a coincidence, I minored in law in college." He took out his phone from his pocket and waved it. "I just checked, if Director Liu had reported that to the police back then, he could have been in jail for at least three years."
Shu Bai: "Hehe. Li Dingliu truly lives up to his title as Dingliu."
Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow: "Is Teacher Shubai praising me?"
Shu Bai sneered: "If you say so, then so be it."
Seeing that the topic was about to veer off course again, Gong Yu quickly tried to smooth things over: "Teacher Shu Bai only acted in a moment of desperation back then, which is understandable..."
Li Yuheng glanced at him: "Teacher Gong is quite good at 'understanding'."
Gong Yu's smile froze.
Seeing the atmosphere was about to become tense again, the director quickly announced the end of the game: "Alright! That concludes today's 'Truth or Dare' game! Thank you all for participating!"
Everyone dispersed.
Shu Bai got up to go upstairs, but Li Yuheng suddenly called out to him, "Teacher Shu Bai."
Shu Bai paused, not turning his head: "What is it?"
Li Yuheng lazily waved his phone: "Want to add me on WeChat?"
Shu Bai: "..."
He slowly turned around, his eyes saying, "Are you out of your mind?"
Li Yuheng remained unfazed: "The production team requires the six guests to form a group chat."
Shu Bai took out his phone with a cold face, and the two scanned the QR code to add each other as friends.
Li Yuheng looked at the friend request that popped up on the screen and smiled slightly.
Shu Bai's WeChat profile picture is pure black, and his nickname is just the word "Bai," simple to the point of being cold.
Li Yuheng casually opened his Moments – visible for three days only, and it was completely empty.
Tsk, boring.
He casually changed Shu Bai's nickname to "Cat Brother" and then sent an emoji.
Shu Bai's phone vibrated, and he looked down at it.

Shu Bai: "..."
He slowly raised his head, looking at Li Yuheng with a complicated expression: "How old are you?"
Li Yuheng smiled and put away his phone: "Mental age: three years old, actual age: twenty-five, biological age... it depends on which aspect Teacher Shubai is asking about?"
Shu Bai took a deep breath, turned around and left.
Watching his retreating figure, Li Yuheng happily went to the refrigerator and found an apple to eat.
0090 said softly, "Your Highness, the way you're doing it really looks like you're flirting with him."
Li Yuheng: "Bullshit, this is brotherhood."
0090: [...]
It finds the entire system absurd.
Li Yuheng had just reached the stairwell when Jiang Wei stopped him.
"Let's chat?" Jiang Wei raised an eyebrow.
Li Yuheng shrugged: "Okay."
The two arrived at the villa's backyard. Jiang Wei lit a cigarette and cut to the chase: "What exactly do you want?"
Li Yuheng feigned ignorance: "What? What are you doing?"
"Stop pretending. You've been targeting Shu Bai since yesterday, but today you suddenly started helping him. What are you really up to?"
After finishing the last bite of his apple, Li Yuheng casually and precisely tossed the core into a trash can five meters away: "Me targeting him? He's clearly targeting me, okay?"
Jiang Wei sneered, "Come on, your little tricks might fool the audience, but not me?" She lowered her voice, "Did you orchestrate the trending topic incident?"
Li Yuheng patted the apple juice off his hands, then suddenly leaned close to Jiang Wei, pinched his nose, and said in a muffled voice, "Cousin~ can we stop smoking? My noble nose can't stand secondhand smoke."
Jiang Wei was so angry at his affected manner that he gritted his teeth, but he still stubbed out his cigarette: "Li Yuheng! I'm talking to you about serious matters!"
Li Yuheng immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, let's get down to business." His expression suddenly became serious. "I just think Shu Bai is quite interesting. I wanted to tease him and make friends. What's wrong?"
Jiang Wei stared at him suspiciously: "That's it?"
"Otherwise what?" Li Yuheng shrugged.
Jiang Wei stared at Li Yuheng for a long time, then suddenly sighed: "Fine, I don't care what your purpose is, but Shu Bai is in a difficult situation right now, so don't add fuel to the fire."
Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow: "How did I add fuel to the fire? Was it wrong to help him clear his name?"
"You—" Jiang Wei was about to retort when her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID, her expression changing slightly. "It's my agent."
She walked aside to answer the phone, and Li Yuheng vaguely heard words like "public relations" and "statement".
A short while later, Jiang Wei returned with a complicated expression: "Director Liu just issued a statement apologizing."
Li Yuheng wasn't surprised: "Oh? So fast?"
Jiang Wei stared at him: "Are you sure this has nothing to do with you?"
Li Yuheng blinked innocently: "How could I have such great abilities?"
Jiang Wei sneered and turned to leave: "You'd better remember, Shu Bai is not someone you can toy with."
Li Yuheng watched her retreating figure, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He took out his phone and sent a command to 0090: "Hey system, check where Director Liu is right now."
0090: [Your Highness, what are you planning to do now?]
Li Yuheng: "Show some concern for my cousin."
0090: […Director Liu is currently vacationing in Sanya.]
Li Yuheng squinted his eyes: "Vacation? That sounds quite relaxing."
With a slight twitch of his fingertips, a wisp of ghostly energy, invisible to the naked eye, quietly drifted into the distance.
Meanwhile, at a five-star hotel in Sanya.
Director Liu was lying by the pool sunbathing when he suddenly felt a chill on his back, and then he fell into the pool with a "plop".
"Help! Help! I can't swim!" Director Liu struggled desperately in the water, swallowing several mouthfuls of water before being pulled out by the lifeguard.
He lay sprawled awkwardly by the pool, when suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, as if something had bitten him hard.
"Ah!" Director Liu screamed, jumping up and clutching his backside. "What was that?!"
The lifeguard looked bewildered: "Director Liu, there's nothing in the water..."
Director Liu was horrified to discover a row of teeth marks on his buttocks, as if he had been bitten by some wild beast, but there were no animals around at all.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he scrambled back to his room, where he developed a high fever that night.
…
Li Yuheng returned to the villa in a good mood, only to find that Zhao Wen and You Keke were the only ones left in the living room watching TV.
"What about the others?" he asked casually.
Zhao Wen pointed upstairs: "They've all gone back to their rooms." She blinked, "Teacher Li, what did you and Weiwei talk about?"
"It's nothing, just a family conflict."
Zhao Wen said "Oh," then suddenly lowered her voice: "Teacher Li, do you and Teacher Shu Bai... know each other before?"
Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow: "Why do you ask that?"
Zhao Wen said mysteriously, "I just feel... there's something strange about the atmosphere between you two, like you've just met."
Li Yuheng chuckled lightly: "Teacher Zhao is quite observant."
Yu Keke suddenly interjected, "I...I think so too! Although you and Teacher Shubai are always bickering, you seem...to have a lot in common?"
Li Yuheng gave her a meaningful look: "Teacher You, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Yu Keke immediately covered her mouth: "I'm sorry! I... I was just talking nonsense!"
Li Yuheng waved his hand and began to wander aimlessly around the villa, eventually arriving at a piano room.
Pushing open the door, a grand piano stands quietly in the center of the room, moonlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the black and white keys, giving them a cool glow.
He casually pressed a few notes, and the tone was clear and bright, indicating that the instrument was well-made.
0090 suddenly appeared: "Young Master, you can play the piano?"
Li Yuheng snorted lightly: "What, you look down on ghosts?"
