Half an hour later, Ye Shuang and Bai Yuyou appeared outside the school.
Ye Shuang’s attire was somewhat different—he had changed into more formal clothes and wore silver, frameless glasses, giving him an air of refined elegance.
"Go ahead," Ye Shuang said.
Though Bai Yuyou didn’t know what Ye Shuang was planning, she nodded lightly and walked toward the school with her shoulder bag.
After just a few steps, however, she couldn’t help but glance back, only to see Ye Shuang smiling at her.
By now, many students were coming and going through the school gates. After hesitating for a moment, Bai Yuyou turned and headed inside.
Once her figure had disappeared into the crowd of students, Ye Shuang waited a few minutes before following in the same direction.
At the school entrance stood several students on disciplinary duty.
As Ye Shuang approached, they greeted him in unison, "Good morning, teacher."
"Good morning," Ye Shuang replied with a nod before walking in.
His calm and composed demeanor made it seem as though he truly was a teacher—and in a way, he was. Yinshan Academy had a large faculty, and neither the disciplinary students nor the security guards could possibly know every teacher, especially with new hires and departures every year.
With his scholarly appearance and timing, Ye Shuang looked every bit the part.
"Excuse me," Ye Shuang casually stopped a female student, offering a warm smile. "Could I ask you something?"
The girl blinked, momentarily flustered—perhaps because Ye Shuang was rather handsome—and stammered, "Uh, t-teacher, what is it?"
"Do you know where I can get a meal card? It’s my first day, so I’m not familiar with the process," Ye Shuang asked.
"Oh, the meal card?" The girl seemed slightly disappointed before pointing to a nearby building. "There’s a counter on the first floor of the cafeteria where you can top up or replace one."
"Thanks."
Ye Shuang gave her a playful wink and headed toward the cafeteria.
"That new teacher is so handsome… I wonder if he’ll teach our third-year class," the girl murmured as she watched him leave.
"What’s with the lovesick staring?" A lazy voice came from nearby.
The girl turned to see a pretty, shoulder-length-haired girl standing behind her and immediately brightened. "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu! I just saw this really handsome teacher—he must be new. He asked me about the meal card. I wonder which grade he teaches."
An Shiyu raised an eyebrow. "How handsome?"
"Super handsome!" The girl gave a thumbs-up.
"You should read more books. Otherwise, you won’t even know how to describe a good-looking guy," An Shiyu said, hands tucked into her skirt pockets, looking thoroughly unimpressed. "By the way, I haven’t finished my homework yet. Let me copy yours."
"Seriously? You tell me to read more, but you don’t even do your own homework?"
"I’m in the top three of our grade. What does it matter if I do my homework or not?"
"Ugh… Fine. One lunch."
"Deal."
The two walked back to class side by side. If Ye Shuang had lingered just a moment longer, he would have recognized the shoulder-length-haired girl as the one who had sold him the phone and steamed buns!
Unaware of the exchange behind him, Ye Shuang arrived at the cafeteria’s first floor. With a quick glance, he spotted the meal card counter.
A short line had formed in front of the window. Ye Shuang joined the back, figuring it wouldn’t take long for his turn.
"Good morning," the female teacher in front of him greeted politely.
"Morning, Teacher Chen," Ye Shuang responded smoothly, adjusting his glasses with a smile.
"Huh?" Caught off guard by being addressed by name, the woman blinked before awkwardly fumbling, "Uh…"
"We met at a staff meeting. I’m Bai," Ye Shuang continued casually, his gaze flickering to a faint window hovering before him.
[Character: Chen Yue
Yinshan Academy, 3rd-Year Class B homeroom teacher, Chinese language instructor. Prone to passing gas.]
"Oh, right. Sorry, Teacher Bai… There are so many teachers here," Chen Yue replied, now even more embarrassed. He had remembered her name, but she couldn’t recall his.
Still, a handsome male teacher like him—shouldn’t she have remembered? Maybe she needed glasses, she mused.
"Teacher Chen, you teach Chinese for third year, right?" Ye Shuang continued the conversation.
"Yes, that’s right. And you?"
"I teach math," Ye Shuang lied effortlessly before steering the topic. "Teacher Chen, do you know a student named Bai Yuyou in third year?"
"Bai Yuyou… Class A, right?" Chen Yue’s expression shifted, clearly recognizing the name. "Yes, I know her. Why do you ask?"
"She’s a distant relative of mine. Just curious if you were familiar with her."
"Oh, you share the same surname." Chen Yue nodded. "That Bai Yuyou is a bit of a loner, and there are… some unpleasant rumors about her."
"What kind of rumors?"
"Ah, you know how students love to gossip. Don’t take it seriously, Teacher Bai." Realizing she might have spoken out of turn, Chen Yue laughed awkwardly, clearly reluctant to elaborate.
"It’s fine. I’d just like to understand," Ye Shuang said, leaning in slightly with a gentle smile.
Chen Yue’s heart skipped a beat at his expression, and she averted her gaze, flustered. "W-well… They say her father was a murderer and her mother was a homewrecker."
Then, catching herself, she quickly backtracked, "But you know how kids are at this age—making up all sorts of nonsense. No matter how much we scold them, they don’t listen."
"True. The older they get, the harder they are to discipline," Ye Shuang remarked neutrally, his smile unchanged.
"Exactly! Ah—it’s my turn." Chen Yue stepped forward to refill her meal card, then turned back to Ye Shuang apologetically. "Teacher Bai, I should head back for morning reading now."
"Of course. See you later."
After she left, Ye Shuang faced the woman behind the counter.
"Hello, I’d like to get a meal card."
"Replacement or new?"
"New."
"50 for the card. How much do you want to load onto it?" The woman didn’t question him—after all, she’d just heard the other teacher call him "Teacher Bai." No one would suspect someone of impersonating a teacher just to get a meal card.
"Two thousand," Ye Shuang said with a smile.
The woman looked up, surprised, then pointed to a QR code beside her. "Scan here."
Ye Shuang transferred the amount without hesitation.
With the white card now in hand, he adjusted his non-prescription glasses.
Time to check out the third-year classrooms.

] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
with Taming My Adopted Niece) (Multiple Heroines + Power Fantasy) Before transmigrating, Wang Jianqiang suffered greatly from novels with no female leads. Holding firm to the belief that "women only slow down my blade," he stubbornly maintained his virginity even after decades in the Sect of Dual Cultivation. In his twilight years, with his cultivation stagnant at the third level of Qi Refining, he finally succumbed and "rewarded" himself once—triggering the awakening of the Godly Cultivation System. From then on, he realized women might actually be his lucky stars on the path to immortality. Deciding to indulge freely and savor life, he found his ungrateful adopted niece knocking at his door...
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
