After the performances ended, there was still free time.
It was the first year of occupancy at H University’s Lingshan campus, and there was sufficient space. Special attentiveness was put into preparing for this freshmen welcoming, and there was a dinner party section at the end.
All of the students could participate. The public relations department had contacted investors, who sponsored ingredients and equipment such as barbeque, very generously.
It wasn’t surprising that they were able to attract such a sponsorship. Firstly, the company was allowed to advertise their phone cards in the school, and the school would provide people to cooperate.
If the freshmen who had just arrived at school needed to change to the local phone cards, they would naturally come to them.
Furthermore, if Lingshan campus set up a campus broadband, only this company could do it, and other companies were not allowed to do it at all. With the exchange of interests, of course they were willing to provide sponsorship.
During the dinner party, many people came to join the fun. There were also upper-level male students who came to pick up freshmen girls.
The group of freshmen boys had also become the target of flirting among the upper-level female students.
Tender fresh meat was of course the most delicious.
A group of fans gathered around Mi Le, lining up for his signature.
The people in the publicity department simply moved over a separate table and brought a small night light, so that Mi Le wouldn’t be too tired when he signed. There were also other members around to control the order.
Mi Le wasn’t arrogant or irritable. He always cooperated gently and would even take photos with these people.
Even though he also knew that some of these people may not be his true fans. They just wanted to take a photo with him and post it on their moments to show off.
However, he didn’t want to refuse, just in case it chilled the hearts of his real fans.
When he was busy, he noticed that the other side seemed to also be very lively. After finishing a series of photographs, he looked back and noticed that it was a group of girls gathered around Tong Yi and the others.
Tong Yi originally was just sitting at the table eating barbeque. It was 180 cm and the other team members who were randomly flirting everywhere. Somehow, they had actually attracted a group of people to come over.
“Captain, the girls by our side are no fewer than those around Mi Le.” 180 cm was very competitive, and he spoke to Tong Yi.
Tong Yi was very puzzled: “Why do you want to compete with him?”
“I think that you should be the school grass!”
Tong Yi was very helpless. He looked at this group of girls and couldn’t give them the cold shoulder. Then, wouldn’t he be the same as Mi Le?
“Ah… why don’t I perform a little trick for you all?” Tong Yi said, looking at them.
“Okay!”
“So impressive!”
“You’re very handsome!”
Tong Yi’s smile was a little fake. He was already impressive when he hadn’t even performed?
However, the people around him were very cooperative, and they handed Tong Yi a paper and pen.
After Tong Yi took them, he started performing. He held a pen in each hand and wrote at the same time. The key was that each hand was writing a poem, and the contents were completely different.
The girls began to exclaim and loudly discuss: “I’ve watched The Return of the Condor Heroes, and the Little Dragon Maiden knows how to do this. You’re even better than she is.”
“Oh, oh, oh. Drawing a circle with the left hand and drawing a triangle with the right hand?”
“Writing two poems with both hands at the same time is almost splitting yourself in two, isn’t it? Moreover… the handwriting is nice.”
“I started practicing when I was very young,” Tong Yi replied after he finished writing. He casually threw the pen onto the table.
The reason why his attacks were unpredictable when he played volleyball was because he could use both his left and right hands, making it unpredictable.
If the person blocking guessed the wrong direction, they would be half a shoulder span out of position, allowing the ball to pass through the gap.
This was Tong Yi’s unique skill, hailed as the trump card and ace skill by many.
Screams and girls’ cheers sounded around them, which also attracted another group of people. They insisted that Tong Yi perform again.
Zuoqiu Mingxu stood in the periphery and watched for a while before exclaiming softly: “Impressive.”
No wonder he became the ace of the H University volleyball team in his freshman year and captain in his sophomore year.
Tong Yi saw that the situation was a bit ominous and tugged at the sleeves of 210 cm. 210 cm nodded, and the two people suddenly stood up. It was like two flagpoles had suddenly been erected in the crowd.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Immediately after, the two of them quickly ran away. They were so fast that it was like they had successfully stolen someone’s wallet and made a run for it.

After the dinner party, Mi Le led his club and the student union in cleaning up the venue. Many of Mi Le’s fans also stayed behind to help clean it up.
Mi Le walked to the table where Tong Yi had been and picked up the two pieces of paper, looking at them.
“It’s really a bit impressive,” Zuoqiu Mingxu exclaimed.
“He looks unattractive, but his handwriting is pretty good.” Mi Le only gave this appraisal after he finished reading.
“Unattractive? Why do I think he’s quite handsome?” Zuoqiu Mingxu smiled and asked Mi Le quietly, “Actually, to say the truth, if it weren’t for your popularity that got you more votes, do you think that the school grass would still be you?”
“Why, would it be him?” Mi Le asked, displeased.
“No, it would be me.” Zuoqiu Mingxu pointed to himself.
Mi Le smiled. He wanted to curse, but didn’t say anything. Finally, he nodded: “I really like your confidence.”
“I really like it too!”
After Mi Le woke up in the morning, he realized that Tong Yi and 210 cm got up even earlier than he did.
Starting from that day, the volleyball team resumed training.
Mi Le’s cosmetics were not fewer than Kong Jia’an’s, but rather even more.
His face masks filled a storage box, and there was a dazzling assortment of other things.
Every morning, he would do his own hair, use a hair clip to clip below the hairline, and blow with a hairdryer. Then, he would use pomade to grab at his hair, making his hair more fluffy.
He had already made his debut, and he needed to pay attention to his image every day. Otherwise, if his looks in private were photographed, he could be hated on.
He also had no choice.
He had received professional training since childhood, from manners and morality, to speaking etiquette, and even walking posture.
He would apply his own makeup, and he also had to look at fashion trends to figure out his own outfit and styling.
Every day, he had to control his diet and maintain his figure. When he was free, he had to work out.
He had the persona of a young man who was very gentle, but in reality, he was not like that…
Today was quite special. When he was doing his hair, two very tall “huskies” stood next to him, watching.
“What’s the matter?” Mi Le asked Tong Yi and 210 cm.
“We’re learning how to do hair,” Tong Yi replied.
“Huh?”
“If you look at my hair, you should know how bad I am at doing my hair. I’ll just cut it short, so it doesn’t need to be taken care of.”
“Then why don’t you just shave your head?” Mi Le asked.
“I’m allergic to ultraviolet radiation. After shaving my head, I’ll have to apply sunscreen to the back of my head. It’s troublesome.”
It seemed very reasonable.
Mi Le was actually speechless.
After Mi Le finished doing his hair, he put down the pomade. 210 cm asked Tong Yi in a daze, “Yi Ge, have you summarized any technical skills?”
Tong Yi raised his hand to hold his chin and replied with feigned profundity: “It’s roughly like this: while your hair is still in the hair and has not yet reacted, seize it! The timing has to be accurate, and the technique has to be solid.”
“Got it!” 210 cm and Tong Yi high fived.
Mi Le: “…”
Crazy!
Didn’t hair have pride?
At this time, someone knocked on the door and said without waiting for the door to open: “Captain, I’m leaving.”
“Oh!” Tong Yi responded from inside the room.
After a while, several more people came to the dorm, carrying a bag of xiaolongbao: “Capitan, Li Xin, we brought them for you two.”
Mi Le watched with disdain as these people left again, as though they were walking through the city gates.
After a while, someone came into the dorm again: “We brought you all soy milk!”
Soon afterwards, he left.
When Mi Le finished packing his bag, someone came into the dorm again, muttering about how pretty the freshman girl he met yesterday was.
“Mi Le, do you want steam buns?” Tong Yi turned his head and asked Mi Le as he stood before the desk, organizing breakfast.
“Are we very close?” Mi Le asked back.
“Sorry, I won’t give it to you anymore,” Tong Yi replied after being rebuffed.
“Thank you very much.”
When Mi Le walked out, the members of the volleyball team couldn’t help but sigh: “Holy crap, why is that guy so unappreciative?”
“Big stars have their noses in the air.”
“If he’s that amazing, why doesn’t he live off campus?”
“There really aren’t any places to live near here. Are you asking the big star to sleep on adobe beds in the countryside?”
At that moment, someone came in again: “Captain, we brought you shumai!”
“Come and eat together.” Tong Yi beckoned them all to come in.
After Mi Le came back from class, he walked into the dorm and saw a glass of soy milk on his own desk. It had fallen over, spilling soy milk all over the desk, and the edge was still dripping, making the chair wet.
He then looked at the other desks, on which there were still plastic bags containing buns and a small dish with vinegar and garlic pieces, emitting a stronger odor in the hot weather.
The window was open, and the wind whooshed in, blowing Mi Le’s bangs to the top of his head.
He clenched his fist and released it. In the empty room, he cursed: “Fuck!”
The fatigue of these past few days and the troubles in the dorm made Mi Le a little overwhelmed.
He didn’t even bother taking care of the desk, but rather crawled into bed and lay down to rest.
The weather was very hot, and the Lingshan campus was also in a large forest. The cicadas seemed to have become a disaster, crying at the top of their lungs all over, making the summer atmosphere even more anxious.
He didn’t turn on the air conditioning. He just pulled the blanket over his stomach and slept.
When he was tired, his dreams were always strange. There were dazzling images before his eyes, and then he returned to his middle school classroom.
He stood in front of his desk, with garbage all over the surface.
Someone had overturned their lunch box on his desk. The soup ran over half the side of the desk, and it was still dripping down, falling on his chair. His backpack was also stained.
Banana peels and apple cores were also stacked there.
He was surrounded by noisy voices:
“That’s him, isn’t it? The child celebrity. Fucking amazing…”
“She wrote a love letter to him and he even gave it to the teacher, forcing the young girl to transfer to another school.”
“Garbage!!!”
“The garbage person sits in the garbage seat.”
No!
It wasn’t!
It wasn’t him.
He tidied up the desk and used a wet wipe to clean his backpack. The books that he took out all had yellow edges and looked very disgusting.
As he took books out from the desk drawer, he bumped into something soft. He lowered his head and saw that it was the corpse of a mouse.
He was started, but instead of shouting, he feigned calmness and swept the corpse away.
He couldn’t show weakness and he couldn’t let others make a joke out of him. This was his stubbornness.
The scene changed. He returned home, threw away his backpack, and shouted frantically at the two figures: “Why did you go into my room?! Why did you secretly look at my things?! Don’t I have any privacy?”
Tears pattered down, hitting his collar and the floor. The two people actually laughed disdainfully.
“You will be an artist in the future, and you inevitably won’t have personal privacy. You must always wait for the day that your privacy will be exposed.”
“Why did you have to do that?! Why did you have to send it to the school?” he clenched his fist and asked.
“Why did you have to keep it? Couldn’t you just throw it away? Or were you preparing to be with that young girl? Even if you date, it will be one of the things that will be dug up when you become famous. I protected you, and I also protected her!”
He lowered his head and looked at his hands…
Who was this?
This was not the real him.
He wasn’t originally like this…
“Because of you all… I don’t have any friends at all,” he said.
“It’s good to have no friends. That way, there will be fewer people who can betray you.”
“Let me go…”
The tall figure bent down, pinched his cheek, and said in a low voice: “You were born into this family and have enjoyed everything that this family brought you, so you must bear this. Do you understand?”
Mi Le suddenly woke up from his dream. He opened his eyes and saw Tong Yi standing by his bed.
The two of them looked at each other, both very surprised.
Tong Yi saw the tears dripping from Mi Le’s eyes and couldn’t help but be stunned.
Mi Le had just woken up and was a little confused. He didn’t know what dream he had before, that had made him instantly awake. However, his hair perched on the top of his head, fluffy, and the ends stuck up a little.
When this person, who was originally a bit difficult to get along with, cried, he was actually… a bit cute and quite… um… Tong Yi’s heart throbbed once.
Mi Le regained his composure and raised his hand to wipe his eyes. He heard Tong Yi explain: “I’ve cleaned the table for you. I’ll exchange my chair with yours.”
As he spoke, he swayed the cloth in his hand.
Mi Le looked at him without speaking.
“Let me explain. I told them not to go near your table. However, this morning, after a fool came in, he was busy chatting with a young classmate. He offhandedly put soy milk on the desk. The coach suddenly told us to gather, and we were very flustered. That guy carried his bag and left, knocking over the soy milk. I kept feeling bad. When they went to eat dinner, I came back to clean it up for you.”
Mi Le: “…”
“You had a nightmare and were scared into tears?” Tong Yi asked him. “You don’t need to be afraid. Since I was young, I’ve experienced all kinds of supernatural events, such as a cup full of water suddenly appearing in front of me. Or while playing, a ball was about to hit me, but then a transparent barrier blocked it. I became calm about it long ago. I grew up in a supernatural nest.”
“Go away,” Mi Le said.
When Tong Yi explained, he was still smiling. Soon afterwards, his expression visibly changed, becoming a little angry.
“Okay, I’ll go away.” Tong Yi nodded, then turned around and entered the bathroom. He threw the cloth aside, then immediately left the dorm.
Mi Le sat on the bed, looking at the quiet dorm for a long time without moving.
Author’s notes: In the next chapter, Mi Papa is going to beat someone up~
Mi Le: Little bunny!
Tong Yi: Can we talk properly?
Mi Le: I’m just willing to talk like this. Why? You still want to rebel?
Tong Yi: No, no, it’s a misunderstanding.
Mi Le: Little bunny, repeat it ten times.
Tong Yi: Little bunny! Little bunny! Little bunny! Little bunny! Little bunny! Little bunny! Little bunny! Little bunny! Little bunny! Little bunny!
Mi Le looked at Tong Yi for a while, couldn’t hold it in, and laughed.
