Becoming an Idol

Returning from An Siyao's body, Xia Yu was still pondering over this matter.

If An Siyao at this moment wasn't qualified, then there was only the path to being an idol.

To become an idol of Dongzhixiang Academy, the center of discussion for all students.

How could it be possible?

But the test could not assign a task with absolutely no hope of completion.

There must be a breakthrough somewhere.

If it were an ordinary school, it would be easy to win adoration by having maids hand out money at the school gate, but Dongzhixiang Academy was a noble school.

Moreover, An Siyao's money couldn't possibly be used so easily and in good conscience by herself.

To not use An Siyao's money meant earning money oneself, but now, more important than making money, was handling Xu Youxiang's matter.

Sighing, Xia Yu looked at the sky outside the high-speed rail window.

It was already late at night, and the high-speed rail had reached Zilü.

Getting off the train at the station, Xia Yu returned home, wanting to rely on his obedient sister to recover his mood, but upon opening the door, he found the house empty.

Taking out his phone, he asked Yuxue and got the news that the girl was at Kong Hanyue's house.

Kong Hanyue actually let Yuxue stay over. When did their relationship become so good?

"Come on, son, the day after tomorrow is the Spring Festival. It's just the right time to come over and celebrate with us!" Kong Hanyue called him.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yu agreed.

Hailing a taxi, he arrived at Kong Hanyue's villa.

The one who opened the door for him was Yuxue.

"Big brother, you're back!" The girl hugged him.

"Um, I played a little too long," said Xia Yu.

According to Yuxue's cheerful personality after Xia Dongyang left, she should have asked Xia Yu what he played, but she didn't ask anything.

Because Xia Dongyang often got angry, Yuxue had the ability to observe and understand in order to avoid Xia Dongyang. When Xia Yu left his grandmother's house, she had sensed something wrong.

But since Xia Yu didn't tell her, she pretended not to know.

Leading Xia Yu upstairs, Yuxue said, "Mom has already prepared a room for you next door to ours."

"It wasn't me who tidied it up, it was Yuxue who did it!" Kong Hanyue's voice came, and soon, Kong Hanyue, wearing a loose T-shirt, pushed the door open and walked out.

"Where did you go, you were supposed to help me watch over Zhong Yunxin!" Kong Hanyue locked Xia Yu's neck, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Near the Spring Festival, Zhong Yunxin didn't want to stay at school and went home.

"You have An Siyao's name to use, as long as you don't provoke her, there won't be any trouble."

From the previous incident when Zhong Yunxin came back, Xia Yu realized that the reason why Kong Hanyue was troubled by Zhong Yunxin was not only because of Zhong Yunxin's rebellion and malice but also because she was often provoked.

"Speaking of An Siyao, what's your relationship with that girl?" Holding Xia Yu, Kong Hanyue entered the room, excitedly gossiping.

"Didn't I tell you not to talk about it outside before?" Xia Yu pinched Kong Hanyue's face.

"Even Yuxue can't be told?" Kong Hanyue asked in surprise.

"Now you feel okay with Yuxue, tomorrow you will feel okay with Zhong Yunze, then you will feel okay with Zhong Yunxin, and then there will be no end." Xia Yu said.

"This means Yuxue can still be mentioned, right? Don't worry, I won't say a word." Kong Hanyue stretched out her hand to the side, and Yuxue stuffed the opened bag of potato chips into it.

Eating the chips, Kong Hanyue continued to ask, "Now tell me, what exactly is your relationship with An Siyao? Are you dating? Did you find a girlfriend behind your mother's back?"

She stretched out her hand again, and Yuxue handed her a bottle of Coca-Cola.

After taking a few sips of Coca-Cola, Kong Hanyue looked at Xia Yu with a gossip-filled gaze.

"This is confidential." Standing up, Xia Yu left Kong Hanyue's room and returned to his own bedroom.

Lying on the bed for a while, waiting for the early hours of the morning to come, Xia Yu logged in to Xu Youxiang's body.

"Why are you here again?" Xu Youxiang's voice carried displeasure, but upon closer examination, one could find that beneath the displeasure, there was no real resentment, but rather a little bit of guilt.

After the emotional outbreak that day, when she said those words, Xu Youxiang immediately regretted it.

Those words were just her willfulness, she was venting her emotions; she had just thought about what to do if she scared Xia Yu away, and then took control of her body again.

Xia Yu was offline due to her emotional agitation activating a system mechanism, which Xu Youxiang took to mean that Xia Yu had given up on her, and that she would have to sit on the bed like a puppet, talking to herself again.

Even when An Siyao came to help her check her legs later, telling her that Xia Yu was working on a solution, she thought it was just an excuse until Xia Yu really came today.

Her heart was actually filled with surprise. An Siyao would reveal this surprise to Xia Yu, while Xu Youxiang chose to hide it.

"Revenge." In response to her question, Xia Yu answered.

"Well, it's up to you to take action, anyway my legs will be gone soon." Thinking of Xia Yu's previous way of taking revenge, Xu Youxiang held back her anger and embarrassment, pretending she didn't care at all.

"You can't feel your legs, what can I do for revenge? Of course, I'll wait for you to get better before taking revenge." Xia Yu was a pragmatic person. In fact, he always waited for things to be confirmed before talking about them, but now, to stabilize Xu Youxiang's emotions, he could only say this.

"Can it really be cured?" Xu Youxiang asked, but in her heart, there was little hope.

"It's a bit difficult to cure, but keeping your legs without amputation shouldn't be a problem." Xia Yu said.

In fact, he was not sure about either, both were just bluffing, but the reason he did not directly say it could be cured was due to a psychological strategy.

As Zhou Shuren said, everyone has a compromising psychology. If you say you need to open a window, people won't allow it, but if you advocate tearing off the roof, they will be willing to open the window.

Likewise, if Xia Yu directly said he could keep her legs, Xu Youxiang wouldn't believe it much, but now that he said he could cure her legs first, Xu Youxiang was somewhat more accepting of the idea of keeping her legs.

"I still need to prepare some things, and I estimate that in about four or five months, I can treat you. The experts say you can hold on for six months, so it shouldn't be a problem." Xia Yu casually mentioned the plan, and a convincing plan is something that can win people's trust. Many entrepreneurs, relying on a single PowerPoint presentation, have gained the trust of investors and received investment.

"The expert said you could maintain it for six months, which would give you just enough time," Xia Yu finished speaking.

Xu Youxiang's response didn't come right away. After a while, she asked, "What do you want from helping me like this? You've been gone for so long, and your lover has been coming to me constantly. You must have put in a lot of effort, right?"

Her words made Xia Yu fall into deep thought. If Xu Youxiang couldn't make it, he could find another body capable of programming. Even now, his relationship with An Siyao had grown closer, and with the contest prize money and the chance to borrow from Zhong's family company, he could forgo learning programming altogether and directly bring in a team of programmers to develop the app.

Why hadn't he thought of deleting Xu Youxiang?

After a moment's pause, Xia Yu answered, "If I have to give a reason, I guess it's because I've raised you for so long, giving up would be too much of a waste. You know what sunk costs are, right?"

"Alright, what about that female programmer? Time to start learning programming." He changed the subject.

"It's almost Spring Festival, and you still want her to work?" Xu Youxiang replied.

"Then let her play some games," Xia Yu opened the laptop.

After staying with Xu Youxiang until 8 in the morning, Xia Yu returned to his own body. He thought of a seemingly feasible plan that would allow An Siyao to be called the Holy Maiden of the East. Since the school was closed for vacation, he could first experiment with his servants.

Fantastically East Literature provides such a literary masterpiece.
