Chapter 111: Ye Xun Comes Out On Top
While writing linear algebra homework in the dormitory, Wang Heng received a phone call from Pei Ningle.
“Hello, Mr. Agent, can you come to my home on Saturday afternoon? That song of mine is almost written, but for the lyrics part, I need a little reference.”
The young girl’s tone was somewhat excited, but it made Wang Heng secretly vigilant—this kind of deliberate happy tone wasn’t anything good in his impression from the first playthrough.
So Wang Heng said straightforwardly: “For lyric writing references, don’t come to me, go to a dictionary.”
Pei Ningle: “…”
Wang Heng: “Is there anything else?”
Pei Ningle: “Then can you help me contact a recording studio? Although the lyrics aren’t completely written yet, the arrangement needs to be hurried. This is very important, won’t you come over?”
Wang Heng: “Oh, that’s simple, I can contact one online for you.”
Pei Ningle, rejected twice, asked weakly: “Do you have something on Saturday?”
“Of course, I have a part-time job.”
Joking aside, without a sufficient and reasonable excuse, how could Wang Heng casually refuse her?
After hanging up the phone, Wang Heng stretched, turned his head to look at the other roommates.
Fu Hanwen was solo queuing ranked matches, Tang Hexing was feeding the cat, Wang Ke was giggling at the tablet… Hmm, the dormitory was still peaceful today as always.
Looking at the little hamster next to him again, Wang Heng frowned.
This unscrupulous little thing seemed to be laughing?

Pei Ningle hung up the phone, and her originally confident expression quickly collapsed.
And sitting opposite her, Han Yixuan had already written the text message and hit send.
【This Saturday I’m going to a place near your school to meet a friend, if Classmate Wang Heng has time, how about coming out for a cup of milk tea?】
Light and casual tone, appropriately distant address, in Han Yixuan’s view, this kind of invitation obviously had a higher success rate. Compared to Pei Ningle’s that urgent yet insufficient reason, she felt she was undoubtedly much wiser.
While waiting for a reply, Han Yixuan looked at her dejected love rival and asked with a smile: “What was his reason for refusing you?”
Pei Ningle said softly: “He said he has a part-time job… It should be true, I’ve been to the Penguin Building before and seen him working part-time there.”
At this moment, Wang Heng’s reply arrived.
【Sorry, I have a part-time job tomorrow.】
Han Yixuan thought for a moment, raised her head to stare at the girl in front of her, and asked: “Have you been to his office?”
“No, I’ve only been downstairs of the office building, but…”
At this point, Pei Ningle remembered someone and suddenly had a bad premonition. What exactly was the relationship between that big sister who once bought her an airplane ticket and Wang Heng?
So she probed: “If there’s an older sister who’s a bit older than us but not old, pretty, and has a lot of money… how attractive would such a person be to Wang Heng?”
Associating it with Wang Heng’s family background, Han Yixuan immediately felt chills: “That would be terrible! What, does such a character really exist?”
Pei Ningle nodded and said softly: “I’ve met her once, she seems to be called Lu Qi…”
Han Yixuan immediately followed up: “Who is this Lu Qi? Wang Heng’s superior?”
Pei Ningle carefully recalled and said vaguely: “Seems like it, what did they say that evening, I can’t remember clearly.”
Han Yixuan couldn’t sit still.
The young girl stood up, paced back and forth for a while, and quickly made up her mind.
She sat back down and said seriously: “No, I must go see on Saturday.”
Pei Ningle’s little face was full of surprise: “You’re going to stalk him!”
Han Yixuan sneered back: “Didn’t you stalk him all the way to my school? Why do you seem so surprised when it comes to stalking?”
Pei Ningle was immediately speechless.
“Then that’s that. As it stands now, your progress isn’t much better than mine, maybe you even took the ‘younger sister’ wrong path. So I have nothing to worry about, goodbye.”
Saying this, Han Yixuan stood up and turned to leave.
But at that moment, Pei Ningle hurriedly jumped up and slammed the table: “Don’t think you’re the only one who can stalk, I can too!”
Han Yixuan turned her head to stare at her, smiled provocatively: “Alright then, Saturday noon lunch, together?”
“Together it is!”
————
Peaceful time passed in a flash, and the leisurely Saturday afternoon finally arrived.
But for Ye Xun, Saturday wasn’t leisurely. In this high school she transferred to, first-year high school students still enjoyed full weekends, but second-year high school students only had a day and a half. Saturday morning she had to attend classes with classmates, and the afternoon was one-on-one tutoring—no matter how you looked at it, it was exceptionally busy and fulfilling.
But for the afternoon one-on-one tutoring, the young girl had an unspeakable expectation. The closer it got, the more her heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated… After morning classes ended, she hurriedly finished lunch in a few bites, went home to change into a pretty JK little skirt, even put on some light makeup, then took the bus over.
Arriving at the doorway of that coffee shop, she waited less than half a minute before the punctual Wang Heng arrived.
The young girl’s expectation finally came true, but her heartbeat didn’t slow down, it beat even faster instead.
Wang Heng came before her and casually greeted: “Good afternoon.”
Ye Xun had been standing at the shop doorway with her schoolbag, now subconsciously hugging the schoolbag to her chest, bowed nervously: “Good afternoon!”
Wang Heng gave a bitter smile: “Did you go to school on Sakura Island? No need to be so polite, it’s too exaggerated.”
Ye Xun obediently nodded and followed behind him into the coffee shop.
As last time, the two sat in the window seat—here the light was brighter, yet not directly exposed to sunlight, very convenient for reading and doing problems.
“The mistake notebook I mentioned last time, did you organize it?” After ordering beverages, Wang Heng asked.
Ye Xun quickly took out the notebook from her schoolbag and handed it over.
Wang Heng flipped open the notebook, glanced at it twice, and nodded: “Good, not bad. Today I’ll explain in detail, connect the knowledge points for you and teach properly.”
Ye Xun nodded repeatedly: “Mm-hmm!”
And the two didn’t notice that in a milk tea shop diagonally opposite, two people were staring intently this way…
