Chapter 129 · Volume 1

Student Lu

“Alright, everyone, quiet down.”
“We have a transfer student joining our class today. I hope you all get along well. Come, introduce yourself.”
The teacher tapped on the blackboard after leading Yin Yang onto the podium.
The students below fell silent instantly, and the eyes of several female students visibly brightened.
In the Department of Performing Arts, there were few who weren't attractive, yet Yin Yang stood out even among them.
He offered a sunny smile.
“Hello, everyone. My name is Lu Yang. I’m very happy to have the chance to be your classmate.”
Applause erupted from the room. The teacher scanned the desks, clearly looking for a seat for Yin Yang.
A girl in the middle of the room quickly raised her hand.
“Teacher, there’s an empty seat next to me!”
Several other students, not wanting to be outdone, also raised their hands.
The teacher chuckled at the sight.
“It seems our student Lu Yang is quite popular. Liu Xuan.”
“Present.”
A male student in the front row stood up. The teacher pointed to the seat in the middle.
“Go sit over there. Let Lu Yang take the front row.”
“...”
“...”
Liu Xuan looked at Yin Yang, then at the teacher, and finally could only pack up his things and switch seats.
Once Yin Yang was settled, the teacher began the lecture.
...
As soon as class ended, Yin Yang was surrounded by several students.
“Lu Yang, are you from Wang City?”
“No.”
“Then where are you staying?”
“I’m renting a flat at Mansion No. 1 outside the campus.”
“Mansion No. 1? My god, you’re really loaded!”
Yin Yang smiled, stood up, and looked toward the door.
“Does anyone know the way to the library? Could you show me? I’ll treat you to coffee.”
“I do!”
“I know the way too!”
“I’ll lead you there.”
Several students raised their hands. Yin Yang smiled and walked with them toward the library. After he left, someone curled their lip in disdain.
“What a show-off!”
“Exactly. ‘Treating us to coffee,’ as if we can't afford our own?”
“Right? And the library? Please!”
“And those girls... it’s like they’ve never seen a man before. Who isn’t a handsome guy around here?”
However, not long after, Yin Yang returned with those same students, carrying coffee and milk tea.
“Everyone, Lu Yang is treating us to coffee! If you don’t like coffee, there’s milk tea!”
One of the students couldn't help but shout the moment they entered the classroom.
This caused the expressions of the vast majority of students to soften considerably. Only a few maintained their 'cool and aloof' personas.
Yin Yang walked up to one of them with a cup of coffee. His originally gentle smile suddenly became grave, and he leaned in to whisper something into the person’s ear.
The person instantly flared up in rage, looking as if they had been deeply insulted.
But when Yin Yang leaned in again and whispered something else, the person’s expression immediately melted like snow in the spring sun, turning into a fawning grin.
“Brother Yang, Brother Yang, please, take a seat! I’ll handle the coffee distribution.”
As he spoke, he snatched the coffee from Yin Yang’s hand and handed it to the other 'cool' students.
“Drink up! My Brother Yang bought this. Don’t be ungrateful!”
The others stared at him as if they had seen a ghost. The man hesitated slightly before leaning in to whisper to them as well.
Their expressions were a sight to behold. Finally, they actually bowed and said,
“If you would have us, we are willing to acknowledge you as our godfather!”
This series of transformations left the other students completely bewildered.
Yin Yang smiled and helped them up, giving them a look that said, “Don’t worry, I’ve got you.”
The reason these people went from arrogant to subservient was all due to six words from Yin Yang.
“You’re deficient! I can cure it!”
...
By the time school was over, Yin Yang already had several 'little brothers' following behind him.
“Brother Yang, can you really cure it?”
“Of course. It’s not a major issue.”
“How long until I see results?”
“If you do as I say, three days at most.”
Hearing this, the group behind him all beamed with joy.
“Hey, student!”
“Student! The one in the white T-shirt and jeans!”
“Hmm?”
Yin Yang turned his head in surprise to see a middle-aged man running toward him.
Yin Yang stopped, and his followers stopped as well, looking at the man with curiosity.
“Are—are you a student in the Department of Performing Arts?”
The middle-aged man was slightly out of breath. Yin Yang nodded.
“Yes.”
“I’m an advertising director. Would you like to film a commercial?”
Hearing this, the students beside Yin Yang immediately struck their most handsome poses, hoping the director would notice them.
Yin Yang pondered for a moment before looking back at his five new followers.
“Can they come along?”
The followers were stunned, all looking at Yin Yang in disbelief.
The director shook his head decisively.
“Sorry, we only need one lead.”
Yin Yang replied with a serious expression.
“If it’s for a lead role, my friends are much more outstanding than I am.”
“I’m just a freshman. My sensitivity to the camera is far inferior to theirs.”
“Especially him.”
Yin Yang pulled one of the followers forward and said with great earnestness,
“His name is Liu Xuan. Xuan, as in 'magnificent.' He’s always been top of our grade in acting and has been praised by our teachers more than once.”
“To quote our acting teacher, all he lacks is an opportunity. He is destined for stardom.”
“Just yesterday, he passed the audition for the second male lead in Director Zhu’s new film. That’s Director Zhu we’re talking about! His new project is bound to be a hit.”
“If I were you, I would take advantage of the fact that he hasn’t blown up yet and hire him for a commercial at a low price.”
“Once the movie is released and his popularity skyrockets, it won’t be this price anymore.”
The advertising director looked at Liu Xuan and found that the kid’s appearance was indeed quite good.
He had only seemed somewhat plain standing next to Yin Yang, but on his own, he was a genuine handsome guy.
“Hmm, you’ve convinced me. I’ll give your friend a chance. But whether he passes or not depends on the client.”
“No problem.”
Yin Yang accepted on Liu Xuan’s behalf. Seeing the boy still dazed, he gave him a nudge.
“What are you standing there for? Thank the director.”
Only then did Liu Xuan snap out of it. He rushed forward to exchange contact information with the director. After the man left, he looked at Yin Yang with immense gratitude.
During class today, Yin Yang had heard a lot of news.
For instance, this Liu Xuan didn't come from a wealthy background.
To afford university, he worked three jobs just to scrape together the tuition.
“Brother Yang, Director Zhu’s audition is actually tomorrow. If I don’t get picked, won’t the secret be out?”
Liu Xuan felt a bit embarrassed, but Yin Yang didn't care at all.
“What are you afraid of? When you go to the audition tomorrow, tell the casting director that you just landed a major endorsement deal that’s about to air on TV.”
“Tell them if they hire you now, the price is still low, but once the commercial hits, it won’t be the same price anymore.”
The followers were stunned, then each of them gave him a thumbs up.
Yin Yang looked up at the sky.
Just half a month more, and he would promote to Sequence 7!
