Chapter 93 - Classmates


Song Xiao handed in the application to directly transfer back to Imperial University to study. It was originally a joint study program, so no one stopped him from choosing to return. However, this was still the first time the school had processed such a procedure, and it was a little surprising.


“If you have difficulties with the tuition fee, the school can help you with financial aid.” The school teacher still wanted to persuade Song Xiao. After all, it was a rare opportunity to study here.


“Something happened at home, so I can’t be so far away.” Song Xiao shook his head. To him, it didn’t matter where he studied, as long as he could be with Yu Tang.


Seeing that he couldn’t be convinced, the teacher could only sigh and sign off on his application.


The domestic university programs were comparatively easier. After all, it was in a familiar language, and many things were more convenient. Because none of the other exchange students had returned yet, Song Xiao was placed in another class for the time being.


Every student still needed to belong to a class for things like handing in assignments, getting IDs issued, booking train tickets and so on, and this class held a class meeting just for Song Xiao.


“Isn’t it just a transfer student? Just have him treat everyone to a meal; why do we need a class meeting?!” Those who had been called to attend the class meeting were somewhat unwilling, and a male student directly grumbled out loud.


“That’s right ah, I already agreed to go watch a movie with my boyfriend.” A girl pouted as she spoke. Their class monitor was a little ferocious, so most of them didn’t dare run off, unless they really had something serious on.


The class monitor was a male student who looked like a real intellectual. He wore rimless glasses and pushed them up with a finger as he stared coldly at them. “If you don’t want to be here, then leave. I didn’t force you guys to come either; just don’t regret it after you’ve left.”


He said this with extreme confidence. No one dared say anything; they were already feeling very uncharitable towards this new student whom they had yet to meet.


Song Xiao’s lips quirked, and he stood up from where he was sitting in the very last row, then slowly walked to the class monitor’s side. In the incomparably quiet classroom, everyone would naturally turn their heads when someone suddenly stood up. The first glance revealed nothing much, but after a proper look, everyone was stunned.


“Hello, everyone, my name is Song Xiao.” Song Xiao greeted them, and didn’t know what else to say.


“Fuck… me…” A girl cried out, “This is too handsome!’


“Ahhhh!” When a girl in the front row saw Song Xiao’s face, she began screaming for some reason.


“It’s the empress! Empress!” Next to the screaming girl, her bestie also began to yell.


Song Xiao was frightened. How did this girl know that he was the empress? He carefully scrutinised her; she didn’t seem like a palace maid from the Great Yu Dynasty…


“What empress?” The boy next to them was unhappy. Wasn’t the transfer student just a little fairer? Did the girls have to be this over the top?


“Song Xiao, you’re also called Song Xiao?” When the screaming girl reacted, she leapt up and circled him. “My god, I need air!”


It was noisy for a long time before Song Xiao understood that he looked too similar to the preserved portrait of Empress Duanhui. These girls just happened to be diehard fans of &#k2018;Xiaotang Under The Moon’, which was why they were so excited.


“Oh, that book ah. I’ve read it before,” Song Xiao smiled and said to the girls.


The girls’ eyes widened. “You… you’ve read it before…”


And thus, they couldn’t continue with the class meeting. A few of the female students wanted to invite Song Xiao out to eat, saying that it was to welcome him to their class. The class monitor also thought that it was a good idea, and in passing, wanted to turn it into a class dinner. He told the assistant class monitor to bring a camera and take a few photos during the meal, so that they would have some publicity material for the class this semester.


The boys weren’t keen, but they were very curious to know why this guy was so popular, and after a while, decided to follow along.


Song Xiao, who had originally assumed that he would be shunned as a transfer student, inexplicably became a popular little prince.


University students were capable of staying up all night, and they continued to fool around until the restaurant was about to close; only then did the group reluctantly disperse. After one meal, the boys were no longer as hostile towards Song Xiao; instead, they admired a little. After all, he was still able to maintain a gentle smile while being surrounded by so many raucous girls – no normal person could do that.


“Song Xiao, why aren’t you leaving?” Everyone was walking back to school, arms around each other’s shoulders, and when they turned their heads to see that Song Xiao wasn’t moving, they looked at him in confusion.


“You guys leave first ba, I live off-campus.” Song Xiao waved to indicate that they didn’t have to worry about him.


“You’re waiting here for someone?” A girl walked over, and when Song Xiao nodded, she said that they would wait with him, as it wasn’t safe to be by himself at night.


Song Xiao’s smile faded. It wasn’t safe for a girl standing by the road in the middle of the night, but he was a man; what was there to be scared of? Just as he opened his mouth to refuse the young ladies’ goodwill, he heard a rumble on the street, and a car instantly appeared before their eyes.


It was a world-limited edition convertible with a sapphire blue exterior and sleek body; even in the middle of the night, it still dazzled the eye.


During the meal earlier, Yu Tang had called to ask where Song Xiao was, saying that he would pick him up; Song Xiao never imagined this guy would actually show up in such a flashy car…


Song Xiao quirked his lips and wanted to pretend that he didn’t know the driver. However, the car window had already rolled down, and a deep and beautiful voice rang out. “Get in.”


It was a good thing that it was cold, so the convertible’s roof was up. Song Xiao could only grit his teeth as he waved at everyone and got into the car.


Vrr—” The cool convertible instantly took off, disappearing into the dark night.


Everyone was stunned as they guessed at Song Xiao’s relationship with the driver.


“Maybe he’s the toy boy of some rich woman,” said a male student with a face full of acne, who thought that it was funny.


The others glanced at him and ignored him, and the atmosphere turned awkward for a moment.


“What nonsense!” The class secretary was a force of nature, and she smacked the boy on the head. “It’s clearly a Mr. Perfect!”


“That’s right! Such cool driving skills — it was definitely a young man!”


“Ah, could it be that, that emperor, on the forum?!”


“Ahhhhh!”


That night on the ‘Xiaotang Moon’ forum, a buried post from many years ago was once again bumped up.


This post contained a photo taken in a cinema a few years ago, of two handsome guys watching a movie together. Attached to the photo were the portraits of Empress Duanhui and Emperor Jingyuan.


Most Handsome Bear In The Universe: I think I’ve found this empress.


Salt And Pepper Wax Gourd: LS, you, what, how?


Most Handsome Bear In The Universe: This empress… He… he transferred to my class today.


Unrivalled Hummingbird: Ahhhh LS, come out and fight, why are you this lucky ahhhhh!


Admin: Who dug up the post? We’ve said before that digging up posts is forbidden!


Because of this news, everyone in the forum was fired up and extremely excited as they waited for ‘Most Handsome Bear In The Universe’ to give them the gossip.


Because of the admin’s warning, Handsome Bear started a new thread and gave an account of what happened today from beginning to end, embellishing the narrative with her own feelings.


When Song Xiao finished showering, he saw Yu Tang looking seriously at the tablet in his hands. Afraid to bother him, he dried his hair himself and got under the blankets.


Yu Tang insisted on not holding a funeral, but seventh uncle’s family did. Yu Qi returned to preside over the funeral, then went back to America. His high tech company there had only just started up, and didn’t have many people yet. More importantly, he had no interest at all in business administration, and seventh aunt kicked up a fuss for a long time, but it was useless.


Yu Tang now held all of the Yu family’s power in China, and was the chairman of Dayu’s Chinese region. The headquarters was moved to the capital, and he himself lived in the capital as well.


Yu Tang bought a high-end apartment close to the university for Song Xiao’s convenience. Only the two of them lived there. A cleaner came in on a schedule, but there was no permanent housekeeper.


“Is work very busy?” Leaning against the headboard, Song Xiao pursed his lips and couldn’t help asking the question when he saw how Yu Tang’s gaze was fixed on the tablet.


When Yu Tang heard this, he didn’t look at Song Xiao, but reached out to pull him into his embrace, and he relaxed against the headboard himself. He gave an “en” in reply, and continued to gaze at the screen.


Song Xiao shifted his body. His Majesty the emperor hugging him like this was giving him permission to look. Yu Tang would definitely be very busy after taking over such a huge enterprise all of a sudden. Song Xiao was contemplating how to help him as he raised his eyes to look at the tablet in Yu Tang’s hands.


【The car that came to pick up the empress was super cool; I don’t recognise the brand, but it’s definitely a very, very expensive car. I only saw the driver’s jaw, but he’s definitely a major hottie for sure! And so rich ahhhh…】


Song Xiao: “…”


Little Theater


Xiaoxiao: Your Majesty, aren’t you very busy?


Fish Tang: Yes ah


Xiaoxiao: What are you busy with?


Fish Tang: After not going on the forum for two years, my EXP is very low; I have to quickly boost it


Xiaoxiao: …
