Chapter 054 054

　　[This, this, this is the legendary beauty trap, right?!]

　　[Yu Shu is inside, and the two of them are talking about this outside. Oh wow, this is as exciting as a crabapple blossom novel!]

　　[I think Bai Bai Zhi might be disappointed, for a very simple reason – Yu Shu is much better looking than him.]

　　”It’s a simple matter for you,” Bai Bai Zhi suggested seductively. Yan Jin glanced at her and looked away, her expression indifferent. “You apply to transfer to another dormitory. I don’t want him living with you.”

　　Round Round is so well-behaved, she can’t be led astray!

　　”Lady Yan, are you looking down on me?” Bai Bai Zhi trembled all over, as if she couldn’t believe these words had come out of Yan Jin’s mouth. Her eyes took on a hint of injury. “You look down on my background, so you don’t want Young Master Yu to live in the same room as me?”

　　Yan Jin felt that both Bai Bai Zhi’s gaze and her words were quite strange. She wasn’t familiar with her, yet Bai Bai Zhi was acting this way. It would take a lot of effort for Yan Jin to explain it clearly to Round Round later.

　　”Isn’t this obvious?” Yan Jin’s tone was calm, and her gaze as she looked at her was as mild as it had been in the brothel, without a trace of lewdness, as if looking at a beautiful vase.

　　It was precisely because Yan Jin’s gaze held no lust when she looked at her that Bai Bai Zhi had wanted Yan Jin to redeem her. Who knew that Yan Jin would refuse without a second thought, leaving Bai Bai Zhi feeling a sense of loss.

　　So Bai Bai Zhi hadn’t expected that upon meeting again, Yan Jin, for whom she had some favorable impressions, would actually state it so bluntly, without any thought of cherishing a delicate flower. She choked a bit. “Bai Zhi fell into the brothels not because she willingly degraded herself, but because there were reasons.”

　　”Oh.” Yan Jin nodded with a lack of interest. “But we’re not close. I have no interest in knowing about your difficult past.”

　　”…Bai Zhi was presumptuous.” Bai Bai Zhi was dejected. “When I saw Lady Yan just now, I was still hoping that perhaps I had some small place in your heart.”

　　”Don’t say these strange things that will cause misunderstandings.” Yan Jin said seriously, “I only paid to listen to a song, I didn’t lead you on and then abandon you.”

　　”Lady Yan is doing all this for Young Master Yu Shu, right.” Bai Bai Zhi was on the verge of tears. “Back when I had nowhere to turn and sold myself, I also hoped to have an understanding person like you to pull me out of that hell. Unfortunately, fate was not on Bai Zhi’s side with you.”

　　Yan Jin: ……

　　Has she gone mad?

　　Yan Jin really couldn’t understand. She hadn’t refused to keep Bai Bai Zhi’s secret. In exchange, what was so unreasonable about having Bai Bai Zhi switch rooms with Round Round? How come Bai Bai Zhi kept beating around the bush and just wouldn’t give her a straightforward answer.

　　Because this was said as a complaint to the system, the viewers in the live broadcast room also clearly heard Yan Jin’s puzzlement.

　　[Although I often get annoyed by Yan Jin’s denseness, this straightforwardness used on a green tea b*tch is quite satisfying, cough cough.]

　　[To be honest, I’m not surprised at all. The only green tea Yan Jin will fall for is the Yu Shu brand. Other green teas just seem affected and pretentious to her.]

　　[Yan Jin is visibly impatient. I suspect she’s going to turn and leave any second now.]

　　”Stop.” Yan Jin made a gesture. “I don’t want to hear you say anything more, irrelevant or not. In a word, are you moving or not?”

　　Bai Bai Zhi’s eyes misted over. “Lady Yan…”

　　”If you keep dawdling, I’ll go file a complaint.” Yan Jin lost patience. “Then even if you don’t want to move, you’ll have to.”

　　Although the academy admitted men, there was no way they would admit a man like Bai Bai Zhi.

　　If word got out that the Qingsong Academy, which cultivates talented people, was admitting reformed male prostitutes, its reputation would be ruined.

　　Headmaster Gu probably didn’t know about this. After all, as a renowned scholar, she had no need to ruin her own reputation. Unless Headmaster Gu was intentionally training beauties to present to her former imperial student.

　　But anyone with a brain could figure out that was impossible. Few respectable scholars would stoop to procuring in this way.

　　Yan Jin didn’t know if it was because she was Bai Bai Zhi’s first client, but when she threatened to file a complaint, Bai Bai Zhi’s expression was so strange, as if Yan Jin had led her on and then abandoned her.

　　Fortunately, the result was as Yan Jin expected, a good one – Bai Bai Zhi immediately applied to move out of Yu Shu’s dormitory.

　　”What did you say to her just now?” In order to show his magnanimity, Yu Shu had only been peeking through the window and hadn’t gone over to eavesdrop, so he didn’t know what they had talked about.
