Chapter 95: Gu Yue, who mismatches lovers
Yu Zhen paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides Xu Xiaoyan's matter, there is another matter that I need you to inform Teacher Wu about."
"Please speak, Dean." Long Hengxu immediately straightened his back.
"After a semester of investment, the academy has spent a considerable amount of resources on Class Zero. Although the students' progress is evident, the board of directors hopes to see more 'tangible' results to prove the value of this investment."
Yu Zhen's voice was neither hurried nor slow:
"In about two months, the 'East China Sea Alliance Soul Master Competition' jointly organized by the East China Sea Alliance will begin."
The school board members believe this is an excellent opportunity for Class Zero to showcase its abilities and prove its worth.
The results of the competition also provide a more direct indication of whether they deserve our continued investment of resources for focused training.
"Understood, Dean."
Long Hengxu understood. "I will pass this on to Teacher Wu as soon as possible. Given Teacher Wu's teaching style that emphasizes practical application, I think... he shouldn't refuse to let the students participate in such a highly practical competition."
"Yes, I think so too."
Yu Zhen agreed, then added, "Of course, you should also make it clear to the dance teacher that there's no need to put too much pressure on the children."
"The students in Class Zero are all still young, and the main purpose of participating in the competition is to gain experience and showcase their talents."
"As long as the results aren't too bad, and we can put on one or two exciting and noteworthy matches, that's enough to prove the teaching level and training capabilities of our Donghai College."
"This way, when we recruit students next semester, we can attract more outstanding students and parents to choose our college. This is also a deep consideration for the board members."
"Yes, Dean, I fully understand what you mean. I will convey this to Teacher Wu verbatim." Long Hengxu replied respectfully.
……
Leaving aside the conversation between Long Hengxu and Yu Zhen inside the office, on the other side...
Following behind Wu Changkong, Xu Xiaoyan entered the dormitory building, looking around with curiosity. In the junior college, she still lived at home and had never lived in a dormitory before.
"We're here. This is where Class Zero lives." Upon arriving at Class Zero's private apartment, Wu Changkong led Xu Xiaoyan inside.
"Wow, the conditions are so good? They live in apartments instead of dorms!?"
Looking at the spacious and fully furnished apartment in front of her, Xu Xiaoyan's eyes showed surprise.
"Remember, everything you've achieved is thanks to Class Zero. If you want to stay, prove yourself in the next month."
Seeing the surprise in Xu Xiaoyan's eyes, Wu Changkong offered an explanation and then left.
Xu Xiaoyan watched Wu Changkong's departing figure, then glanced around at the small space that would soon be hers. She clenched her little fist tightly, her eyes hardening with determination.
"Yes! I will definitely work hard to prove myself!"
Just then, the sounds of conversation and footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, growing louder as they approached.
"Wu Lin, I didn't expect that after just one winter break, your first spirit ring would have advanced to a thousand years. It seems you've put in a lot of effort during the break." A deep male voice rang out.
"Yes, thanks to Teacher Wu."
Tang Wulin's clear, slightly embarrassed voice came through.
"During the winter break, he specially took me to an intermediate-level spirit-ascension training session."
"It's a pity that Xie Xie and Sister Gu Yue broke through to the second ring before the holiday. Teacher Wu said that once our foundation is more solid, we will find a way to help them increase their soul age."
"It's alright, we'll have a chance to enter the intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform sooner or later. I'm not in a hurry for my soul spirit to advance." Immediately, a slightly cool and pleasant female voice replied.
Xu Xiaoyan, who was inside the door, was secretly astonished.
"Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform? Millennium Soul Rings? Are these my new classmates?"
"They keep talking about soul spirit advancement and thousand-year-old soul spirits... They really are all incredibly talented geniuses."
Xu Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. "I hope... they won't be too difficult to get along with, and won't ostracize me, the newcomer..."
Taking a deep breath, Xu Xiaoyan mustered her courage, gently pushed open the door, and went out.
In the corridor, Yu Chen, Gu Yue, and Tang Wulin were talking together when they heard the door open. They all stopped talking and turned their attention to the newly appeared blue-haired girl.
Xu Xiaoyan finally got a good look at the three people and exclaimed inwardly, "Wow! The people here... are all so good-looking!"
Yu Chen's handsome and composed demeanor, Gu Yue's aloof and stunning beauty, and Tang Wulin's sunny and dashing appearance all caught her eye.
Facing three pairs of eyes fixed on her, Xu Xiaoyan quickly flashed a sweet, slightly nervous smile and introduced herself in a vibrant voice:
"Hello! My name is Xu Xiaoyan, and I just transferred to Class Zero today. We seem to have met briefly at the Spirit Ascension Platform before? From today onwards, we're classmates. Please take care of me!"
As the class monitor, Yu Chen spoke first, in a gentle tone:
"Yes, I'm Yu Chen, the class monitor of Class Zero. If you need any help, feel free to come to me. These two are Gu Yue and Tang Wulin."
"Thank you, class monitor!" Xu Xiaoyan nodded quickly, her gaze lingering for a moment longer on the outstanding Yu Chen's face.
Just then, Gu Yue suddenly stepped forward, affectionately taking Yu Chen's arm, and looked at Xu Xiaoyan with a sly smile in her eyes, saying:
"Just to add, Chen and I are boyfriend and girlfriend."
She paused deliberately, noticing the knowing look and a hint of regret flash across Xu Xiaoyan's face, her smile deepened, but then she pointed to the somewhat bewildered Tang Wulin beside her.
"However, our handsome young man Tang Wulin is currently single, but he has unlimited potential. Xiao Yan, if you have the chance in the future, you can try... well, it's better to strike first?"
"Huh?! Sister Gu Yue! You...you mustn't be talking nonsense!"
Tang Wulin's face flushed red instantly. He retorted helplessly, glancing flusteredly at Xu Xiaoyan, whose face had also turned bright red in an instant.
"Alright, Yue, stop teasing Wu Lin and the new classmate."
Yu Chen patted Gu Yue's hand helplessly, feeling both amused and exasperated by his girlfriend who occasionally liked to "play matchmaker."
However, after Gu Yue's interruption, he remembered that in the vague memories of the "original work", Xu Xiaoyan seemed to have some hazy feelings for Tang Wulin.
It's just unknown whether any different sparks will fly between the two in this timeline.
As for breaking up official couples or creating a harem to be a stud?
Yu Chen had never had such a thought.
Just managing the complex and precious emotions between him and Na'er and Gu Yue was already what he considered the greatest gift from fate.
He understood that the most valuable qualities in a relationship are loyalty and sincerity.
Moreover, it seems that Le Zhengyu, Xu Xiaoyan's "official partner" in my memory, didn't have a very good reputation? Of course, that's a story from another time.
He collected his thoughts and gave Xu Xiaoyan, who was still somewhat embarrassed, a friendly smile:
Don't mind me, Gu Yue likes to joke. Welcome again to Class Zero, Xu Xiaoyan. I hope you can adapt to the life and pace here as soon as possible.
Xu Xiaoyan nodded quickly, but because of Gu Yue's teasing remark and Tang Wulin's embarrassed appearance, she felt a little less distant and a little more close to this new group.
It seems that life in Class Zero in the future might not be as difficult as I imagined.
