Xiu Gou's Taming Record

Saturday afternoon, at the west gate of the school.

There are about ten people here now.

Besides those few familiar faces, there were some other members, including several people from Yu Heng's dormitory.

Ning Yutong and Shen Yueling had already arrived. Bai Xinran stood to the side looking at her phone, her legs trembling slightly, not from the cold.

"Hasn't the counselor arrived yet?" Hao Junran asked, shrugging his neck. The weather was getting colder every day.

"Wait a bit," Yu Heng glanced at it, "It should be soon."

"Where is that place?" Hao Junran asked.

"It's in the same neighborhood where I rented the apartment, it's quite close," Yu Heng said. "It's only a ten-minute walk."

"Where is your rented apartment?" Zhou Mengqi asked, leaning closer. "President, could we take a look around your place?"

"Hmm?" Yu Heng narrowed his eyes. "I haven't tidied up my place yet, it's a mess, so I won't invite you over."

Zhou Mengqi pursed her lips upon hearing this and remained silent.

After waiting for a while, Qin Lu arrived by car.

The mother and daughter got out of the car, and the students greeted them.

"Hello, teacher." Ning Yutong was the first to respond.

The others joined in, offering their greetings all at once.

Qin Lu nodded, her gaze sweeping over the crowd.

She met Yu Heng's gaze, then immediately looked away.

"Is everyone here?" she asked Ning Yutong.

"Yes, all fifteen people who signed up have arrived."

"Alright, let's go then." Qin Lu's tone was businesslike. She glanced at Yu Heng, "Yu Heng, you lead the way."

"Okay," Yu Heng replied. "It's not far, let's stroll over there."

As the group walked towards the villa area, Qin Lu deliberately walked at the back of the group, keeping a distance from the students.

Yu Heng slowed his pace and waited for her to catch up before walking side by side at a leisurely pace.

"Don't be nervous," Yu Heng said in a low voice, so that only the two of them could hear. "Relax."

Qin Lu kept her eyes straight ahead: "Stay away from me."

As she spoke, she quickened her pace, creating some distance between herself and the crowd.

Yu Heng smiled and moved next to Bai Xinran: "Hang in there!"

After walking for about ten minutes, we arrived at the entrance of the villa area.

"Wow, this place is amazing!" Hao Junran raised an eyebrow. "Only 1,500 a night?"

"How about it? Pretty good, right? It only costs about 100 yuan per person, and we even have hot pot tonight," Yu Heng said with a smile.

The group entered the house, and the living room became noisy.

Hao Junran rummaged through the cabinet and pulled out a few board games: "What do you want to play?"

"Let's play Werewolf," Liu Tianqi said. "It's more fun with more people."

"Sure," Chen Yuqiang said, leaning closer.

Yu Heng didn't participate; he leaned against the kitchen door frame looking at his phone.

The set meal, intended for eight people, was clearly not enough for fifteen.

Yu Heng ordered takeout from the supermarket again, and two large bags of things were delivered.

The items were placed on the corner of the table, and the girls had already gone over to start tidying up.

Qin Lu was washing vegetables at the kitchen counter, the water gushing out.

Shen Yueling was cutting potatoes on the other side, the knife making a rhythmic sound as it hit the cutting board.

"Teacher, let me help." Ning Yutong's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Qin Lu paused for a moment: "No need, you guys play."

"It's okay, I've already played one game." Ning Yutong walked to the edge of the pool. "Yu Heng, don't just stand there."

Yu Heng put his phone back in his pocket: "I'm just supervising the construction."

"What are you supervising?" Shen Yueling said without looking up. "You cut it! Don't you know how to cook?"

"I'll cut it, I'll cut it." Yu Heng walked over and took the knife from her hand.

The potato slices were uneven in thickness, and one of them flew off and landed on the ground.

"You should put it down." Shen Yueling took the knife back and gently bumped him with her shoulder.

Ning Yutong glanced over here, then continued picking bean sprouts.

Yu Heng smiled. She learned this trick from He Mengyao. If you don't want to do any work, you can't do nothing at all, or you'll seem lazy.

You have to pretend to be eager to do things, but if you don't do them well and cause trouble, the capable people will let you stay aside.

He Mengyao used this trick a lot when they first got married, and the key thing is that he actually liked it.

However, after she became a housewife, she couldn't keep up the act anymore, and he realized that she had been pretending all along.

Bai Xinran remained seated on a single sofa in the corner of the living room, her attention focused elsewhere.

Watch Hao Junran play Werewolf, watch Liu Hewei and the others play arcade games, and listen to Zhou Mengqi and the others sing.

This state continued until it was time to eat.

During the meal, she picked up a slice of potato, but her hand trembled and the potato fell back into the bowl.

Zhou Mengqi, who was next to her, nudged her arm: "Why are you only eating rice?"

"Huh?" Bai Xinran snapped out of her daze, picked up a piece of pork rib, and said, "I'm a little tired."

"You don't look well," Zhou Mengqi said. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No..." Bai Xinran's voice trailed off, "I just sat for too long."

Yu Heng, sitting across the table, glanced over when he heard this.

She was so restless during the meal that she couldn't sit still.

It was almost seven o'clock when they finished eating. Qin Lu stood up to clear the dishes, and the other girls followed suit.

Hao Junran called from the living room, "Yu Heng, what's the schedule for later?"

"Our group activity is at eight o'clock," Yu Heng thought for a moment, "How about we play Truth or Dare!"

"Wow!" came a murmur from the living room, "That's awesome!"

……

There was a knock on the bedroom door.

"Who?" She instinctively covered herself with the pillow.

"Me," Yu Heng said, standing outside.

As the two were talking, Shen Yueling walked up and stood in the doorway, asking, "What are you two doing here?"

Bai Xinran panicked a little and quickly glanced at the pillow, while Yu Heng remained calm.

"Let's chat about what happened on the live stream," Yu Heng said again. "What's up?"

"Nothing much," Shen Yueling said as she walked in. "The downstairs area is almost cleaned up; I didn't see you two."

"Ah Ling, you can go down now," Yu Heng said to Bai Xinran. "I need to talk to her about something."

Bai Xinran nodded upon hearing this: "Then I'll go down first."

Watching her leave, Shen Yueling narrowed her eyes: "A-Ling? Isn't her name Bai Xinran?"

"Her livestream name is Ye Lingyuan," Yu Heng explained with a smile. "That's what everyone in the livestream calls her. I usually manage her operations, so I'm used to calling her that."

After Yu Heng finished speaking, he walked to the door, closed it, and locked it.

"Why are you closing the door?" Shen Yueling asked, clicking her tongue. "There are so many people downstairs, don't do anything reckless!"

"Hehe," Yu Heng chuckled as he walked over, pulled her into his arms, and took a deep breath into the crook of her neck. "It's been so long since I've hugged you."

"What are you doing!" Shen Yueling said coquettishly, "Yu Heng!"

"Don't move, just hold her for a while, and then..." Yu Heng soothed her softly, saying in dialect, "I want to pet Men'er."
