Xiu Gou's Taming Record

"Well..." Qin Ya blinked, "Look at him, he started his own guild in his freshman year, rented a villa, and even started a club..."

Qin Lu didn't say anything, but breathed a sigh of relief. So that's what they were talking about.

However, she had to admit that Yu Heng was indeed quite capable.

In the beginning, most students were enjoying what they called freedom.

Staying up all night, skipping classes, dating.

A small group of people have already started preparing for awards and recognition, showing off and flattering each other in various ways.

Running between the Youth League Committee and the Student Union.

They even made a point of trying to maintain a good relationship with their advisor.

Yu Heng, on the other hand, didn't participate in the election of class officers or the student council, and he showed no respect for his elders.

But he does have a lot of ideas for starting a business, and Qin Ya knows best what she was like before.

He always had a gloomy face, spoke with a sharp tongue, and showed no interest in anything.

Although he's still a bit of a smart aleck, he's at least much happier than before.

"Mom, my brother's doing fine." Qin Ya's tone suddenly became more serious. "Right?"

"So?" Qin Lu raised an eyebrow. What was this girl trying to say now?

"So if you two get divorced, Dad," Qin Ya said, pursing her lips, "my brother should be better than him."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Qin Lu said, looking annoyed, and stood up. "Eat quickly, and then go back inside!"

She walked to the balcony, not bothering to see Qin Ya's reaction, and pulled out a pack of slim cigarettes from the corner of the balcony, lighting it.

I bought this pack of cigarettes almost a year ago, and I've only smoked three or five sticks.

Qin Ya was very attached to her father when she was little, but in recent years, after Lin Liyan's personality changed, the father and daughter were not as close as before.

Around this time last year, she and Lin Liyan argued every day.

Although I've never told her why, the child probably has a pretty good idea.

He actually said something like that today.

Yu Heng is only eighteen or nineteen years old. Is he better than Lin Liyan?

He's definitely much better in that area, but what about the others?

Lin Liyan was young once, and he had good times too.

Isn't it the same now?

Moreover, their age difference is simply absurd.

What does he want from her?

Is she old?

Is she not divorced?

Does she have a rebellious daughter?

Qin Lu laughed self-deprecatingly.

Maybe it's just for the novelty.

After all, he probably hasn't tried her type before.

The cigarette was finished.

Qin Lu stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray and got up to go to the bathroom.

She needed to take a shower to wash away all these messy thoughts from her head.

At this age, it was just a drunken one-night stand; there's no need to take it so seriously.

To actually start thinking about it is absurd!

Qin Lu stood under the showerhead, her eyes closed.

She squeezed out some shower gel, lathered it in her hands, and then applied it to her body.

But those images still linger in my mind.

When her palm slid across her chest, there were still faint red marks left by Yu Heng.

It has faded a lot; you can hardly see it unless you look closely.

Qin Lu's fingers gently stroked that patch of skin.

She thought back to last night and felt her legs go weak.

She steadied herself by holding onto the wall.

I can't think about it anymore.

She quickly rinsed off the soap, turned off the water, dried herself, and put on her pajamas.

When he returned to the bedroom, Qin Ya was no longer in the living room.

The dining table was cleaned and the plates were washed.

She went back to her room, closed the door, and lay down on the bed.

The quilt was very soft and had a fresh scent of laundry detergent.

Qin Lu lay awake, unable to sleep.

She turned over and buried her face in the pillow.

After that night, she washed all the sheets and duvet covers.

It was washed clean, leaving not a trace.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Qin Lu closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

But I still couldn't help thinking about it, and my body even started to react.

This is insane! How could she have become this kind of woman at her age?

Qin Lu cursed inwardly and turned over again.

I stared at the dark room for a long time until my eyes felt sore, then I slowly closed them.

Sleepiness finally came over me.

Before losing consciousness, her last thought was...

Will I run into him at school tomorrow?

My phone alarm went off right at 7:30.

Yu Heng sat up in bed, rubbed his eyes, and was still a little dazed.

He grabbed his phone, glanced at it, then threw back the covers and got out of bed.

I put on a hoodie and sweatpants, slipped on my slippers, and went downstairs.

When I walked into the living room, I saw Bai Xinran already sitting at the dining table.

Two cups of soy milk and a few fried dough sticks were placed in front of her, steaming in a plastic bag.

"Where did this come from?" Yu Heng sat down opposite her, picked up a fried dough stick, took a bite, and asked, "Did you go out and buy it?"

"I ordered takeout," Bai Xinran said, pushing a cup of soy milk in front of him. "That shop opens at 6:30 in the morning, I ordered it at 7:00, and it just arrived."

She actually didn't sleep well and woke up very early.

Her mind was filled with what instructions Yu Heng would give her during today's live stream.

Will it be difficult?

What if she can't help but make strange noises during her live stream?

"Nervous?" Yu Heng looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Bai Xinran paused, then lowered her head and took a bite of the fried dough stick: "Who's nervous?"

Yu Heng stopped teasing her and focused on eating.

After finishing breakfast, the two went out together.

The 8 a.m. class is in the bishop's building, which is about a ten-minute walk away.

There were many students on the road, all rushing to class.

Bai Xinran put her hands in her hoodie pockets and walked at a leisurely pace.

Yu Heng walked beside her without saying a word.

This silence wasn't awkward; rather, it conveyed a strange sense of understanding.

---

The morning class was a long lecture.

He walked to the last row and sat down next to Hao Junran and the others.

The teacher was lecturing on stage, while Yu Heng was thinking offstage.

Will Qin Lu come to school today?

The way she acted yesterday clearly showed she was avoiding him.

But she was a counselor and he was a student, so they would inevitably run into each other.

At noon, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

The group walked towards the cafeteria.

The four of them got their food and found a seat. Hao Junran took a bite of rice and mumbled, "Are we still going to the recruitment this afternoon?"

"Go," Yu Heng said. "Starting at two o'clock, ending at four."

"How much can we collect today?" Hou Xudong asked.

"We received over fifty applications yesterday, but I don't expect many today," Yu Heng said. "The main reason is that we have to conduct interviews tonight and screen everyone."

"Where is the interview?" Liu Tianqi asked.

"The lecture hall," Yu Heng said. "I borrowed room 204. It starts at five o'clock tonight."

"Is the counselor going?" Hao Junran suddenly asked.

Yu Heng paused for a moment: "I should go, she's my mentor."

Qin Lu is the mentor, so she definitely needs to be present during the interview.

After finishing his meal, Yu Heng went back to the villa to get the things he needed for the new recruits, said goodbye to Bai Xinran, and then headed towards the small square.

The recruitment drive in the afternoon was sporadic, with not many people participating.

Yu Heng stood in front of the booth, introducing the clubs to the new students.

Ning Yutong helped distribute registration forms, while Bai Xinran and Hao Junran were responsible for maintaining order.

I spent two half-days here yesterday, and most of those who were interested have already submitted their forms.

By 3 p.m., we had collected more than ten registration forms.

"It's alright," Hao Junran said, flipping through the application form. "It's better than nothing!"

"Okay." Yu Heng glanced at the time. "Get ready to go to the lecture hall."

"Have you finished preparing the interview list?" Ning Yutong asked.

"It's all done." Yu Heng took out a piece of paper from his bag. "We screened out 30 people from yesterday, and we'll take another look at today's candidates in a bit and select 10 to be interviewed in two groups."

Ning Yutong took the list, glanced at it, and said softly, "Then I'll go and make the preparations."

"Okay." Yu Heng nodded. "You go to the lecture hall first, I'll be there in a bit."

Ning Yutong responded and left with the list.

Bai Xinran glanced at Yu Heng: "I'm going back first, it's time for the live stream."

"Go ahead," Yu Heng said. "Remember to check your phone for messages during the live stream."

Bai Xinran's heart skipped a beat. She nodded, turned around, and quickly left.

Yu Heng watched her retreating figure, smiled, and then began to pack up his stall.
