Tang Yue stayed in the room for another half hour until he was sure Yu Wan was asleep before getting up to go to the bathroom to get a towel and draped it over the lamp, which immediately dimmed the light considerably.
Just as I stepped out of the room, a voice suddenly came from inside: "Mom, don't go..."
The voice was faint, and he paused, listening intently. Reason told him he shouldn't pry into her privacy when she wasn't looking, but his inner worry compelled him to eavesdrop. He had clearly sensed her sadness just now.
Unfortunately, he heard nothing more after that. Just then, the doorbell rang, presumably the hangover medicine had arrived, and Tang Yue gently closed the door.

Yu Wan woke up a little late the next day and almost missed her econometrics class, rushing into the classroom just as the last bell rang.
Rong Yun glanced at her indifferently, her voice stern: "Student Yu, remember to arrive earlier next time. Otherwise, you'll waste five minutes trying to calm your heart and concentrate, missing out on a lot of knowledge points."
Yu Wan nodded.
His head was slightly sore from the hangover, and he looked rather docile and obedient than usual, having lost his usual arrogant and fierce demeanor.
Watching this scene, everyone in the classroom marveled. It seems that this time, the school bully really needs to study hard and improve every day!
If even wealthy people work so hard, what right do students from ordinary families have to slack off?
Over the next two days, the instructors noticed that the entire class showed exceptional enthusiasm for learning in all of Yu Wan's elective courses, which made them very happy and eager to impart all their knowledge to her.
Everyone in the Economics Class 3 was even more surprised to find that the teachers' classes had become more lively and interesting, with every minute filled with important knowledge points, from which they benefited greatly.
Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.
As Yu Wan arrived at the parking lot after finishing her morning classes, the president and vice president of the e-sports club suddenly jumped out from a corner: "Student Yu..."
They tried to corner Yu Wan for two days, but were stopped many times by people sent out by Meng Shen. They finally found out that Meng Shen skipped class in the morning and had been staking out the parking lot since 10 o'clock.
Yu Wan's sports cars are very easy to identify; in short: they are both expensive and cool!
Especially this blue Pagani Huayra today, with its gull-wing door design, is very high-tech and means "wind god" in Spanish, making it very eye-catching in the parking lot.
Yu Wan flatly refused: "No."
The esports club president and vice president, who hadn't even opened their mouths before being silenced, were speechless.
The club president adjusted his round-framed glasses and appealed to both reason and emotion: "Student Yu, the entire school, including the principal, is eagerly anticipating your portrayal of Daji. Please reconsider, okay? The scriptwriter is a top-tier online novelist and e-sports streamer on Douyu, Yao Gangqiang, so the plot is guaranteed to be excellent. In addition, the stage design is handled by Orange Music Group, a well-known 4D technology company abroad, so the stage effects will be absolutely top-notch."
Yu Wan lazily gave an "oh" and bent down to get into the car.
The vice president of the e-sports club has a rather impulsive and fiery personality. Seeing her unyielding attitude, her anger exploded: "Yu Wan, what exactly do you want for me to agree?"
Yu Wan glanced at him sideways: "Why are you insisting that I participate?"
His expression was a half-smile.
Especially those dark, fixed eyes, sending chills down one's spine. The vice president's anger subsided considerably, but the thought of being outdone by a girl made him stubbornly insist, "Of course it's because you're perfect for the role. Do you know how much effort we put into this stage play?"
What's this?
Forced moral blackmail!
Just because they've put in so much effort, does that mean she has to agree?
What a joke!
Yu Wan scoffed lightly, "I thought you had made a deal with someone. And the deal was that I had to play Daji."
The light, airy voice landed, yet it was no less than a thunderclap in their ears. The pupils of the two people opposite them contracted for a moment, and their expressions stiffened to varying degrees.
Having received the answer she expected, Yu Wan suddenly felt bored, her mind wandering: That little white lotus was born in the wrong era; if she had been born in a palace drama, she would definitely be the heroine who survives to the end.
The president stammered, "Yu...Yu Wan, don't you...have any plans to do your part for the school?"
Yu Wan noticed that the vice president's phone screen lit up briefly, and she swallowed the words that were about to come out. She paused, smiled, and said, "Contributing to the school's anniversary celebration is the bounden duty of every student at Jiangda University."
"You...you agreed?" the president exclaimed excitedly.
Yu Wan asked in confusion, "Promise what?"
The president looked bewildered: "Of course it's performing in a stage play."
Yu Wan shook her head: "I didn't."
President and Vice President: "?"
The vice president angrily said, "Yu Wan, you've gone back on your word! You just agreed to it!" He didn't care about anything else and raised his phone: "We've already broadcast what happened online. If you don't want people to criticize you for being untrustworthy, you'd better honestly agree to participate in the stage play."
There was a moment of silence in the live stream.
Then, the post went viral.
Is the school bully about to lose his temper? Will he smash his phone, or will he hit someone?
[Oh my god, after waiting so long, the climax is finally here!]
Am I the only one who finds the esports club's actions disgusting? Using a live stream to blackmail fellow students contradicts the streamer's initial claim of "first official announcement, school bully performing in a stage play." What is this? A coercion?
There are occasional dissenting voices, but more often than not, people are just watching the drama unfold. While the internet brings convenience, it also amplifies the wickedness of human nature hundreds of times over.
[The "e-sports scumbag" sent a rocket to the "Jiangda E-sports Club".]
[Su Mumu gifted a yacht to the Jiangda Esports Club.]
[...]
"Threatening me?" Contrary to everyone's expectations, Yu Wan remained expressionless and calm.
The vice president assumed she was too afraid to be arrogant in front of the live stream, and said even more confidently, "We've been begging you for so long, and the principal personally selected you to play Daji. Even if you're going to put on airs, you should know when to stop."
Yu Wan tapped her fingers on the steering wheel, a lazy smile on her face: "Really? Then let's call the principal right here to verify?"
She didn't have the principal's number at all; she was just saying it to scare them. They could use the information in the post to threaten her, but she could also use her identity to turn the tables on them.
Of course, if she really needed to contact the university president, she wasn't entirely without options. After all, Old Man Yu's annual donations of buildings and equipment to Jiang University weren't just for show.
Upon hearing this, the president of the club realized things had gone wrong and, not daring to escalate the situation, quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Student Yu, we sincerely hope you can participate."
