Strange Column

Marking the selected name in red, Xia Yu put his mobile phone in the storage box, put on the suit prepared by the manager, came to the piano in the lobby, and began to play.

His performance list included Guda's études, Autumn of Reed, Echoes of Reed Leaves, and a random classical piece.

Guda's études were the most famous classical pieces, but they were still not as popular as Autumn of Reed and Echoes of Reed Leaves. As for classical pieces like The Aimless Saint, even fewer people knew them outside the circle.

Playing these pieces in a continuous loop until almost four o'clock, Xia Yu got up and went to the rest room to rest. At exactly four o'clock, he came out on time and returned to the piano.

At this time, the number of guests in the store had reached its peak for the day.

This was because of the young manager's promotion, which announced that Xia Yu would play The Pope's Dancer at four and four-thirty every day.

The Pope's Dancer, as a difficult classical piece, had a widely spread background story. Whether it was the Pope Salivan who made a name for himself in film history or the classic musical play Dancer's Gauze, or even the classic prose Cold Valley's Night, all had added to the popularity of this piece.

Furthermore, the high difficulty of the piece itself had become a badge for the self-proclaimed literary youths.

Feeling a bit sentimental, Xia Yu continued to play the piano.

Finally, at half-past five, he put down the piano cover, went back to the rest room to change his clothes, and was about to leave as he walked out the door.

Just as he opened the door to the rest room, he was stopped by a figure who reached out for his hand.

Startled, Xia Yu quickly pulled his hand away with agility and looked at the figure in front of him with uncertainty.

In front of him was a high school student wearing glasses, with an average build.

"Class president?" Xia Yu asked in surprise.

This person was his class president.

Taking a step forward, the class president shook Xia Yu's hand excitedly and said, "Xia Yu, no, Brother Yu!"

His actions and words made Xia Yu feel uneasy, so he withdrew his hand and asked cautiously, "What do you want? How did you get here?"

"I come to this coffee shop often, I didn't expect to run into you!" The class president was as attentive as ever, and he put his arm around Xia Yu's shoulder. "Brother Yu, you should have shown off your skills sooner!"

"Tell me, what do you want? Didn't you say you wouldn't involve me in the show?" Xia Yu was alert, knowing the class president must have some intentions.

"I won't involve you in the program planning, but for the actual operation, you can still help out, like playing the piano," the class president revealed his plot.

"Didn't you say it's an after-school tutoring class? What am I supposed to do, play the piano there?" Xia Yu didn't want to deal with these troublesome things, he just wanted to make money quietly and buy a pig-headed man's laptop to play games.

"Hehe, who said the tutoring was about regular subjects? We can just have a music appreciation class, isn't that enough?" The class leader held Xia Yu's hand tightly to prevent him from escaping.

"Even if I play, where will you get the piano?" Xia Yu tried to make the class leader back off.

"No problem, as long as you play, leave the rest to me." The class leader patted his chest, indicating that these were not issues.

Without a good excuse, Xia Yu began to make one up: "I have to accompany my girlfriend that day."

"Don't try to fool me, where did you get a girlfriend!" Patting Xia Yu's shoulder, the class leader said, "This is settled, I'm going home."

Watching the class leader's retreating figure, Xia Yu rubbed his forehead.

In fact, he didn't really resist the idea. Although he had lived two lives, he was still a passionate young man.

So be it.

Leaving the coffee shop, Xia Yu went home.

At six o'clock, he didn't immediately log into An Siyao's body. Instead, he caught the black cat in the living room and began his experiment.

He tried whether he could freely select to enter the black cat's body.

He chose the free selection, then put the black cat's body in the center of his line of sight.

Seeing the confirmation appear, Xia Yu smiled.

The black cat could be freely selected to enter, without any problem.

In that case, he wouldn't need to delete Xu Youxiang's entry, just deleting the black cat's entry would be enough.

Having finished, Xia Yu put the black cat down and logged into An Siyao's body.

After a brief moment of darkness, Xia Yu found himself once again in the piano room.

"What happened? You're late!" An Siyao worriedly asked.

"It was just some tests." Lifting the piano lid, Xia Yu continued to learn the red leaves of Xianfeng Temple.

For Xia Yu now, the difficulty of Red Leaves of Xianfeng Temple wasn't high, but to play it proficiently, he still needed a lot of practice.

Eight hours later, Xia Yu finally learned the piece.

After telling An Siyao that she could rest on Sunday and he wouldn't be coming, Xia Yu returned to his own body.

Getting up from bed and stretching lazily, Xia Yu looked at his phone and checked the plan he had made.

There were a total of 16 people on the list provided by Gui Zixiao. After screening out the married and those with boyfriends, there were still eight people left.

Among these eight people, three lived nearby.

What Xia Yu had to do next was to choose among these three people for the exchange. If that didn't work, he would consider the other five. If that still didn't work, he would have to look for married women.

Having stayed at home for a day, at five-thirty, Xia Yu left the house and arrived at the first target's residence.

It was an old community, not the popular small high-rises of today but ordinary six-story buildings.

Carefully avoiding the roadside cameras, Xia Yu checked the time, shouted the target's name, and hid behind a tree.

Soon, the window of the target's house opened, and the target leaned out to search around.

The luck was pretty good; the first one was hooked.

Xia Yu immediately captured the woman and confirmed it.

After a moment of darkness, he possessed the woman's body.

Xia Yu had already seen her face in the photos, so he didn't need to look again, and there was nothing much to see. If An Siyao's score is 100, this body is probably more than 60 points.

As for Xu Youxiang, generally speaking, her appearance was about 95 points. If someone met their preferences, they could add five or six points. Overall, she was similar to An Siyao.

He looked downstairs at the trustee AI, who was diligently and cautiously controlling his body, avoiding the cameras, and walking towards the outside of the community.

Xia Yu nodded, pleased with the trustee AI.

By this time, the loading was also complete.
