Today was the first day of classes at Yanjing University, and the lingering heat of the autumn tiger still remained, with the sun glaring somewhat blindingly.
Lu Xuan smoothly parked his flashy silver-white BMW M4 in a temporary parking spot not far from the First Academic Building, drawing glances from students coming and going, with exclamations and discussions rising and falling.
As soon as he locked the car, a boisterous voice came from beside him: "Holy crap! Brother Xuan! You little… you're something!"
Lu Xuan looked over to see Liu Ming, his roommate who was usually the most boisterous in the dorm, staring with wide eyes, his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg, pointing at him with an expression as if he had seen a ghost, then pointing at the M4.
"Oh my goodness! This, this is a BMW M4, right? And it's the Nürburgring limited edition?!"
Liu Ming rushed to Lu Xuan in a few strides, circled the car twice, and marveled.
"You're something, Lu Xuan, you've been hiding it well! A few days ago, I saw you still living in the dorm, being so careful with your food budget, and I thought you were a poor peasant like me! So you were a prince on a secret inspection?"
Liu Ming remembered clearly that just a few days ago, Lu Xuan was haggling with them for half a day to combine orders for takeout. How did he end up driving such a multi-million dollar luxury car in the blink of an eye? This change was too fast, like riding a rocket.
"Just good luck, won a lottery ticket."
Lu Xuan casually brushed him off, patted Liu Ming's shoulder, "Alright, I'll tell you the details later when I have a chance. I'm rushing to class, can't be late on the first day."
The four people in Lu Xuan's dorm came from different parts of the country and had different majors, so they were not in the same class.
It just so happened today that both he and Liu Ming had classes in this First Academic Building.
"Don't go, Brother Xuan!" Liu Ming grabbed him, his face full of fawning smiles, "From now on, we're brothers. If you find a way to get rich, you have to bring me along, your little brother! Look at my looks, how about I be your driver and bodyguard? Good at my job and not clingy!"
Lu Xuan's mouth twitched, and he shook off his hand: "Get lost, stop joking. I really have to go."
With that, he ignored Liu Ming, who was still making faces, and walked straight into the academic building.
Liu Ming watched Lu Xuan's receding back, stroked his chin, and muttered to himself: "This guy, he's quite a big shot. But… hehe, I'm definitely clinging to this leg from now on!"
His eyes rolled, he pulled out his phone, and snapped a series of photos of the M4, preparing to post them on his Moments to show off that he had a "brother" who drove a limited edition sports car.
Lu Xuan walked into the academic building, where the air was filled with the excitement and restlessness unique to new students.
He easily found the classroom for his major—Chinese Language and Linguistics in the Chinese Department.
Thinking of last night's sweet duo queue, those two little vixens, Chen Xue and Zhang Yining, were probably still sleeping like dead pigs in the presidential suite at Century Golden Resources right now.
Lu Xuan's lips curved into a barely perceptible smile. He had to admit, the initial glimpse into the Dragon Taming Art was so domineering, giving him an unprecedented sense of conquest.
If not for the system rewarding him with the divine skill of a Gynecological Master, he would have been worried about his kidneys after such an exhilarating battle last night.
But now, he felt refreshed and energetic enough to kill a cow.
Walking into the lecture hall, there were already quite a few people seated.
Lu Xuan scanned the room and sat down in a corner seat towards the back.
Today was the first professional class of the semester, teaching "Ancient Chinese."
The teacher giving the lecture, Lu Xuan remembered "to the bone."
Before long, a middle-aged woman, dressed in a proper suit skirt, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, with her hair meticulously coiled at the back of her head, and a small beauty mark at the corner of her mouth adding a touch of intellectual beauty, walked in with her teaching materials.
She was the Linguistics Professor, Gu Yunxi.
Lu Xuan looked at the figure on the podium, his eyes slightly cold.
In his previous life, it was this Gu Yunxi who, when he was being slandered across the internet and accused of being a "perverted peeping tom," accepted media interviews in her capacity as his "professional class teacher."
In the interview, she didn't say a single good word for him. Instead, she righteously and sorrowfully stated that "Lu Xuan usually appears gentle and refined, but I never expected him to be such a person on the inside." Her words, both direct and implied, suggested he was two-faced and had a poor character, effectively solidifying his "guilt."
Heh heh, what a fine example of a teacher!
In his previous life, when he jumped from the tall building, every single person in this school who knew him and stepped on him when he was down was a damn murderer! Not a single person had extended a helping hand to him.
Even some strangers would step on Lu Xuan, just to piggyback on Lu Xuan's traffic. Many people feasted on Lu Xuan's bloody bun.
Gu Yunxi on the podium had already started lecturing, her voice clear, well-organized, and full of scholarly demeanor, citing classics and quoting extensively.
However, the occasional glance she cast at the students always carried a subtle sense of scrutiny and condescension.
"...Today, we will mainly discuss the initial consonant system of Old Chinese, especially the issue of consonant clusters..."
Gu Yunxi's voice echoed in the classroom, but Lu Xuan was somewhat distracted.
He quietly pulled out his phone from his pocket, adjusted it to a relatively hidden angle, and while Gu Yunxi turned to write on the blackboard, he pointed the screen at her and silently pressed the capture button.
A clear photo of Gu Yunxi standing at the podium was thus saved into his phone album.
Very good.
Lu Xuan's lips curved into a cold arc. With a thought, he dragged the photo into the black material system interface in his mind.
"Analyzing target person information…"
A line of cold system prompt text appeared.
"Name: Gu Yunxi"
"Appearance: 95 (temperament bonus) / 88 (bare-faced)"
"Control Value: 0 / 100"
"Measurements: 88 / 65 / 90"
"Height: 168cm"
"Weight: 52KG"
"Target Evaluation: Appears righteous on the surface, but is extremely vain in reality, obsessed with fame and fortune, once went to great lengths for promotion. Holds severe prejudice and malice towards the host."
Lu Xuan looked at Gu Yunxi's data and the system's merciless evaluation, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
Gu Professor, Gu Professor, you probably never dreamed that the "misbehaving" student in your eyes has now been reborn, have you?
"Generating black material… Please wait…"
"Detecting multiple serious violations and disciplinary actions by the target person…"
"Filtering black material…"
Lu Xuan's eyes grew deeper, filled with anticipation.
He really wanted to see what kind of shocking black material this esteemed Professor Gu, who usually carried herself with such an air of superiority and moral righteousness, could reveal.
In the previous life, didn't you like to evaluate my character?
In this life, it's time for all the teachers and students in the school, and even the entire internet, to properly "appreciate" your "noble character," Professor Gu!
