I've already seen chapter 5 of the new anime.
Xiao You blushed and said, "Xiao is my surname. I am an orphan."
Jiang Kai brooked no argument, "Then you're not anymore."
"No, I can have the surname Xu."
Jiang Kai ignored Xiao You's attempts to struggle and said directly, "I've already taken care of it. If you don't like it, then don't come to school."
How can you not go to school?
Xiao You had no choice but to give in, her soft voice saying, "I understand."
Jiang Kai snorted coldly, as if he thought this little shrew was well-behaved, and then hung up the phone without saying anything more.
the next day.
He then took Xiaoyou to school.
On the way, he told Xiaoyou, "You'll be very tired from attending classes during the day. You should quit your job."
“If I quit, I will have no source of income. Besides, I am young. Young people should not be afraid of hard work. It is good to learn more.”
Xiao You held his acceptance letter, his face flushed with excitement.
He never dreamed that he would one day go to university, and even to the same school as Xu Xi, the prestigious S University in the capital, a school that countless people would do anything to get into.
How could he not be happy?
"......"
Jiang Kai almost blurted out, "I'll take care of you."
Fortunately, he quickly came to his senses again. He said he was raising Xiaoyou, but what right did he have to raise Xiaoyou?
He and Xiaoyou had no relationship whatsoever. At most, their only connection was that they had slept together three years ago.
He really wanted to be a nice guy and support her, but she wouldn't pay any attention to him. She already had a boyfriend named Xu Xi.
Jiang Kai ground his teeth slightly.
Xiao You seemed to remember something and asked Jiang Kai somewhat uneasily, "Brother Jiang, is the school really going to accept me like this?"
"Well, although I used connections, the reason I decided to accept you was because I showed the school leaders your dancing video, and they thought you had potential. Otherwise, if you were truly hopeless, I wouldn't be able to help you."
"Brother Jiang, are you praising me?"
Jiang Kai sent her to the dance department, and patted Xiao You on the shoulder. "Although you're not hopeless, if you want to stay in S University, a school where talent is highly valued and teachers are strict, relying on me won't help. I'm sending you here; you have to figure out and move forward in your university life on your own."
Jiang Kai paused, then said, "Of course, if you... if you beg me, I'll give you special treatment."
Before Jiang Kai could finish speaking, Xiao You nodded vigorously and interrupted him, saying, "Don't worry, Brother Jiang, I will definitely not let you down."
Youth is about vitality; in the blink of an eye, you disappear into the crowd.
Jiang Kai's hand, which was resting on his shoulder, was still hanging in mid-air, revealing a slight sense of embarrassment.
Jiang Kai gritted his teeth. This little bastard is really asking for trouble.
Xiao You had been busy all day, but he finally got his enrollment sorted out. His eyes were filled with excitement and hope.
Although he didn't know where his future lay, it was as if a crack had been torn open in his life, making it no longer a stagnant pool. Light shone in, and he had hope and a direction to strive for again.
Xiao You was overjoyed and couldn't wait to share it with Xu Xi.
He took his newly acquired student ID and planned to go find Xu Xi to give her a surprise.
He ran to the music department and called Gou Tian, "Brother Tian, do you know where Xu Xi is?"
"I'll ask around for you."
Gou Tian wasn't actually familiar with Xu Xi, and they weren't even in the same class or had never met. However, he had a group chat where almost all the freshmen in the music department were.
Gou Tian was still chewing on an ice cream cone when he went to pick up Lin Qing from get out of class.
Before the call ended, Gou Tian asked in the group chat, "Hey, do you know where Xu Xi is? I'm in the music club, I need to talk to him."
A while later, someone tagged him and replied, "Where's the music teacher on the fifth floor? I just passed by and saw him inside with senior Li Kai (evil grin)."
The group chat buzzed with discussion: "Is he dating that heartthrob from the dance department?"
"Isn't Li Kai a music major? I saw him in class a few days ago."
"He took it as an elective; the other student was in the dance department and I heard he was Professor Deng's last student."
"Is that Deng Yuan? That dance mentor from 'Quick Dance'? Oh my god, he was my favorite when I watched the show. Although he's strict, his professional knowledge is amazing, and his comments are always spot on, making those A-list celebrities look rubbish. If he were a bit more handsome, he would have definitely debuted! With a mentor like that, Li Kai's future is bright!"
"Now that you mention it, Xu Xi really doesn't have anything to offer Li Kai."
"Xu Xi is quite rich, isn't he? Look at how well he eats, dresses, and uses things; he seems like a rich second-generation. Oh, you know what I mean."
"You guys should be careful, the person involved is still in the group chat."
"Holy shit."
"XX withdrew a message."
"XXX withdrew a message."
......
Gou Tian was in a hurry to pick up Lin Qing, so he closed WeChat after seeing the location and didn't pay attention to the chat content inside.
He told Xiaoyou, "The music teacher on the fifth floor seems to be at the very back of the corridor. Go look for her."
"Thank you, Brother Tian."
"Hey, don't be so polite. You call me 'brother,' so it's only right that I help you."
Gou Tian hummed a little tune as he went to find Lin Qing.
Xiao You ran up to the fifth floor in one breath, full of joy. He was panting when he got there. His face was red and he was covered in sweat. Then he went to search through the classrooms one by one.
We finally found the music classroom; the curtains were drawn, but the door wasn't closed properly.
Xiao You gripped the doorknob, pushed the door open, and exclaimed with delight, "Xi..."
The scene before her eyes stunned Xiaoyou.
Xu Xi carried Li Kai, placed him on the table, and then the two kissed passionately, their lips pressed together.
Xiao You's face instantly lost its color, turning pale.
He was flustered and at a loss. He gently closed the door again. He stood outside the door, the light in his eyes dimming and losing its luster.
His face remained expressionless, but then a look of hurt slowly crept into his eyes.
He didn't know how long he had been standing there.
Hearing Xu Xi's gentle voice from inside, "This guitar is a birthday gift I gave you."
"This is too expensive, I can't accept it."
"It's not expensive, and you can't refuse a birthday present. Kai, I'd spend any amount of money on you, this guitar is really nothing. Last time we passed that store, I saw you staring at it, and I knew you liked it. Go ahead and try it out, I love watching you play the guitar, it's so beautiful and pure."
"Then I'll sing you a song. What would you like to hear?"
The sound of a guitar playing came from inside, accompanied by soft, a cappella singing.
Xiao You was trembling almost all over, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the doorknob so tightly.
His first thought wasn't to blame Xu Xi for lying to him and using the money he gave her to buy a guitar for another man.
His first thought was of how he had worked tirelessly to get customers into the bar and then tried to sell them drinks with a forced smile, all in order to earn money for Xu Xi's guitar.
His arms were already tired from dancing, but he still carried the ice buckets and the chilled drinks inside, one bucket at a time, even though his arms were aching terribly and his face was covered in sweat, he was still very happy.
When he was harassed by customers, he held the drinks menu and smiled apologetically.
I never used to think these things were heartbreaking. It was like I was doing it for the happiness of my loved ones, and that a little hardship and fatigue didn't matter.
But whenever Xiaoyou thinks about how he was working so hard to earn money, risking his life for it, even putting his life second, all that matters is money.
Xu Xi lived a comfortable life on campus, enjoying romantic moments with other men.
He handed over the money he had worked so hard for, money that was filled with sweat and dignity, to Xu Xi.
Xu Xi, however, used it to curry favor with others.
Xiao You trembled all over. He didn't know where the grievances came from, but these grievances and pains had overwhelmed him. He was sinking into them and couldn't get out.
After Li Kai finished singing in the classroom, he said to Xu Xi, "I'm a little thirsty, I want some water."
Xu Xi immediately said gently, "I'll go buy it for you."
Xu Xi grabbed his wallet and phone and headed for the door. He sent Xiao You a WeChat message: "I want to form a band, and I need about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. Can you help me figure something out?"
Xu Xi opened the door and was stunned.
Xiao You was gripping his old phone tightly, the screen lit up with the WeChat message he had just sent him. Xiao You looked like he had been pulled out of the water, his forehead covered in sweat, his lips pale, and his eyes bloodshot.
He looked up at Xu Xi, his voice hoarse, and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Again, do you want money again?"
Feeling a little guilty, Xu Xi quickly turned around and closed the music classroom door.
He was afraid that Li Kai would hear him talking to Xiaoyou, so he grabbed Xiaoyou's arm and almost dragged her to the stairwell.
Xu Xi frowned, looking down at Xiao You, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao You's hands trembled slightly, and he lowered his head in a hoarse voice, "But, but Brother Xi, I, I have no money left."
"Isn't your job very lucrative? You get commission from selling alcohol. I've heard from my friend that some waiters there can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a night selling alcohol in the VIP area."
"Well, the money isn't clean."
A look of disgust flashed in Xu Xi's eyes, but he quickly said "Oh" before adding, "Then you should work harder. Once I've formed the band, we can start doing commercial performances, and then you won't have to work so hard."
After a pause, Xu Xi, perhaps feeling a pang of conscience, reluctantly added, "When I have enough money, I'll take care of you."
Xiao You stared intently at Xu Xi, his eyes red and swollen. He wanted to see him more closely, wondering why the same face had become so unfamiliar.
He was so unfamiliar with the place that I almost didn't recognize him.
Xu Xi felt uncomfortable with Xiao You's gaze. He said, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going. You can figure out how to handle the money."
Xu Xi turned and walked towards the music classroom.
Xiao You watched his retreating figure, "Brother Xi, I...I saw everything..."
