Chapter 89: The Acrobat Shao Ziyang

"Thanks, Tianxing."

Jiang Minling realized that Yang Tianxing was congratulating her on becoming the chairperson of the Student Union for the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Being able to have such good news at the end of the semester, Jiang Minling's emotions were a bit stirred.

Yang Tianxing smiled and said, "I didn't do anything; it was just the Youth League Committee's decision. You should hurry and go find Teacher Guan."

Jiang Minling's ability might not be the strongest, but she was indeed the most suitable, whether for the entire Department of Humanities and Social Sciences or for Yang Tianxing himself.

The Saturday class gathering arrived as scheduled; this was also the final activity of the year for Public Administration Class Two.

Business at the restaurants and food stalls near Hejiaying had been very good these past few days, after all, they were facing a customer base of university students from the entire Chang'an District; however, amidst the shouting and crowded atmosphere of the food stalls, the hotel Yang Tianxing had booked appeared quiet and had a certain style.

As soon as Xie Yu'an arrived at the hotel entrance, he said to his wife, "This must be Yang Tianxing's handiwork; other students wouldn't specifically choose a place like this."

Pushing the door open and entering, all the students of Public Administration Class Two were there, not a single one missing.

Yang Tianxing nudged He Yulin: "Where is the gift you bought for Xie Silu? You can take it out now."

He Yulin walked to the side and picked up a small cardboard box, signaling that everything was inside.

Yang Tianxing poked his head in to look; it was completely filled with kindergarten tutoring materials—Chinese, math, English, encyclopedias, every type was there.

"Damn, He Yulin, you're too cruel, aren't you???"

Yang Tianxing couldn't help but click his tongue: "You really don't want the kid to have a happy winter break memory, do you? Wouldn't it have been enough to pick a few interesting extracurricular books with pictures? I'm going to go say hello to Teacher Xie's wife."

He Yulin was flushed red from being scolded; she had forgotten to ask specifically what materials to buy at the time, and since the price wasn't expensive, she simply bought them all.

Yang Tianxing walked up to greet Xie Yu'an and his wife; Xie Silu was still round and impossibly cute, even stretching out her little chubby hand to ask Yang Tianxing for a hug.

"Eh~"

Being picked up, Zhao Silu opened her eyes, which were like black grapes, rolled them around, looked around, and then said, "Why isn't that big sister here today?"

"Which big sister are you looking for? I'll go help you call her over."

A female classmate nearby saw how cute Xie Silu was and, while holding her little chubby hand, said this.

"The big sister who ate KFC with me, of course?"

Xie Silu said in a milky voice.

"Damn!"

Yang Tianxing was so scared he almost threw the little chubby girl away, because the little chubby girl was talking about Tan Zhizhi.

He was just about to find a topic to steer the conversation toward to cover this up, when he didn't expect Old Xie to take the initiative to change the subject: "There are no other big sisters; the big sisters here are all very pretty."

Xie Yu'an knew about Tan Zhizhi and even gave Yang Tianxing a meaningful look.

Yang Tianxing calmed his mood and walked to his seat to drink some water; He Yulin was still picking through the encyclopedias.

"Stop picking."

Yang Tianxing suddenly said.

He Yulin looked up, her face full of confusion.

Yang Tianxing picked up the entire box directly: "I thought about it later; a happy winter break is an indulgence for a child, and we cannot do such an irresponsible thing."

……………

Everyone drank quite heartily at this gathering; classmates drank with teachers, dorms drank with dorms, boys drank with girls; Yang Tianxing, as the class monitor, drank quite a bit, and waves of alcohol began to go to his head.

Old Xie was even more miserable; he vomited once and then slumped on the sofa, playing dead.

Suddenly, Yang Tianxing, who was drinking tea to sober up, smelled a strong scent of perfume; looking up, it was Deng Yidi with a face flushed red.

"Monitor~ I'll toast you a cup."

Deng Yidi had also had a few cups tonight, but with her alcohol tolerance, she wouldn't be drunk.

"Clink."

When the two clinked glasses, Deng Yidi's slender fingers toyed with the wine glass, and she said with a coquettish smile: "I told my mom about your conditions, and she is quite satisfied."

Yang Tianxing pretended not to understand: "So what if your mom is satisfied? I'm not your dad."

Others might have gotten angry hearing this, but Deng Yidi laughed instead, licked her lips with her scarlet little tongue, and whispered: "If I call you 'Daddy', do you dare to answer?"

The subtext of this sentence was naturally understood by both of these two scumbags, and Deng Yidi was standing too close when she spoke; her hot breath hit the side of Yang Tianxing's face.

Yang Tianxing subconsciously glanced at Liu Jiaoyue's position.

This little girl was sitting in the corner, holding a juice with both hands and blankly watching Yang Tianxing; when their eyes met, she hurriedly lowered her head in a panic.

"Be serious, we're in a public place; I'm still young and don't understand these things."

Yang Tianxing suddenly looked serious and calmly smoothed out his pants; not until there was no sign of anything unusual did he go to other tables to toast.

Finally, the class gathering ended in high spirits with Xie Yu'an's toast: "Spring breeze is proud, the horse's hooves are swift; in one day, I have seen all the flowers of Chang'an."

Now there were only three or four days left until the exams; the other classmates were already concentrating on final reviews, and even Yi Min was secretly going to the restroom to memorize books because the balcony had been occupied by Song Fei.

Yang Tianxing didn't take it to heart at all; he continued to drink for two more days.

One day was the gathering for university students working part-time at the entrepreneurship base; as the "boss," Yang Tianxing naturally couldn't be absent.

The other day was the Department External Liaison Department gathering; Jiang Minling even attended in person, and she clinked a glass with Yang Tianxing—everything was understood without words.

Under these circumstances, the exam results were self-evident; three days later, the exams ended, and Song Fei asked Yang Tianxing: "Old Yang, how did you do?"

Yang Tianxing told the truth: "I recognize every character in the questions, but once they are put together, I don't recognize them anymore."

"Then aren't you going to fail the course?" Song Fei said.

"I'm definitely failing."

Yang Tianxing said with certainty.

Song Fei patted his chest: "With you, the class monitor, at the bottom, I can rest easy. Second Brother, thank you for letting me have a good New Year!"

After Song Fei left, Yang Tianxing muttered to himself: "What does being a class monitor count for? I'm even an internally designated school 'Three Goods' student, but if I'm going to fail, I'm going to fail."

Once the exams ended, the winter break officially began; the university break times in Chang'an were about the same, and Shao Ziyang ran over to the Finance Institute as soon as he finished his exams.

Just as Yang Tianxing was going to the entrance to pick up Shao Ziyang, he happened to see Deng Yidi dragging her luggage out, and her mom was picking her up at the school gate.

"Class monitor, come over and give me a hand."

Deng Yidi waved at Yang Tianxing with a coquettish laugh.

Yang Tianxing brought Shao Ziyang over to help, and while thanking them, Deng Yidi introduced, "Mom, this is the Yang Tianxing I mentioned to you."

Deng Yidi's mother had the air of a wealthy woman, driving a BMW and with hands full of pearls and jade, she smiled and nodded at Yang Tianxing.

Yang Tianxing was not very enthusiastic and left after moving the luggage.

Shao Ziyang followed behind the whole time, muttering to himself for a long while before finally saying, "Little Yang, was that girl just now the person you wanted me to meet? She's far worse than Little Zhiliao."

Yang Tianxing turned his head to glance at Shao Ziyang, shook his head, and said nothing.

Shao Ziyang thought Yang Tianxing was feeling guilty and grew even bolder.

"Are you planning to change your taste, having grown used to fine dining and wanting to try something else?"

"Maybe her family has some money, but Little Zhiliao's family isn't bad either."

……………

Shao Ziyang rambled on all the way to the entrepreneurship base, where Liu Jiaoyue was busy calculating accounts.

Shao Ziyang didn't notice Liu Jiaoyue at all, and not treating himself as an outsider, he poured himself a glass of water and said while drinking, "Regarding this matter, I, Old Shao, am the first to state that I disagree!"

Yang Tianxing couldn't be bothered to engage with the overly dramatic Shao Ziyang and introduced him to Liu Jiaoyue: "Classmate Shao Ziyang."

Liu Jiaoyue stood up and greeted her softly with her head lowered.

"A childhood friend I grew up with."

Yang Tianxing emphasized again.

Only then did Liu Jiaoyue look up.

A "pfft" sound was heard.

After seeing Liu Jiaoyue's appearance clearly, Shao Ziyang, who was drinking water, was so surprised that he sprayed two jets of water from his nose and then began to cough violently.
