Volume One, Chapter Five: Excuse Me, Are You Qualified?

Page 1/3
Qingteng University, Third Cafeteria.
Zone D, a seat by the window.
Su Yao, dressed in a JK uniform, gradually wiped the triumphant smile off her face, replaced slowly by anger.
Her body trembled slightly from the intensity of her fury.
She hadn’t expected Lin Yu not only to dare hang up on her but also to block her!
Could it be that this guy forgot to take his medication today?
Beside her, her best friend Li Xue looked utterly confused.
Just moments ago, Su Yao had been acting so domineering and superior; why had she suddenly fallen silent?
“Yao Yao, what’s going on? Did that Lin Yu guy make you angry again?”
Since Su Yao hadn’t put the call on speaker earlier, Li Xue was clueless about what had transpired.
Su Yao didn’t respond immediately. Only after calming herself did she speak coldly, “That bastard Lin Yu broke up with me and blocked me.”
“What? How’s that possible?” Li Xue was clearly stunned, her mouth agape and eyes nearly popping out in shock.
In her impression, Lin Yu was just a spineless sycophant at Su Yao’s side.
Now, that submissive dog had actually learned to resist?
This utterly upended her understanding.
Su Yao remained silent, her face darkening with a terrifying gloom.
Obviously, because of Lin Yu, her mood was terrible, very terrible, extremely terrible!
Important matters must be emphasized thrice!
From childhood to now, she had always been the one to initiate breakups; this was the first time someone had broken up with her.
“Wasn’t someone seen in line today buying a gaming headset for you, Lin Yu? What happened?” Li Xue suddenly asked curiously, as if recalling something.
Lin Yu was a top academic scholar, and it was well known at Qingteng University that he didn’t play games.
Plus, Lin Yu had personally promised yesterday to buy a gaming headset for Su Yao.
So she found it hard to believe that the headset wasn’t bought specifically for Su Yao.
After all, that was completely inconsistent with Lin Yu’s previous image.
Mentioning the gaming headset, Su Yao’s eyes flickered with a hint of greed.
She had promised senior Wang Duojin that tonight they would team up sweetly in the game.
Wang Duojin was the only son of Wang Youfu, a real estate tycoon in Qing City; if she could latch onto him, it would be a complete rise in status for her and her family.
She had already paid a considerable price to get close to Wang Duojin.
Therefore, she absolutely could not miss the chance to connect with Wang Duojin because of some loser like Lin Yu.
“Fine, break up then, but the gaming headset belongs to me.” Su Yao’s icy gaze fixed on her phone screen, her eyes resolute and unyielding.
Lin Yu was merely a stepping stone to climb higher, devoid of any real feelings for her.
If he weren’t handsome and a scholar, she would have kicked him away long ago.
What does he think he’s doing, trying to climb into my bed?

But Wang Duojin was different; she would never give up on him.
“Eh, Yao Yao, isn’t that Lin Yu?” At that moment, Li Xue suddenly looked toward a direction in the cafeteria and exclaimed.
Fate really does bring enemies to cross paths.
Hearing her, Su Yao lifted her head to look, and soon a flash of anger surged in her eyes.
...
Elsewhere,
Lin Yu was unaware of Su Yao and Li Xue’s thoughts. He had just ordered some spicy hotpot and was waiting in line.
In the previous life, after the spiritual energy resurgence, order on Blue Star had nearly collapsed; no one thought of cooking when survival was at stake.
As a result, Lin Yu had spent the last two years surviving mostly on wild monster meat or pills, and his mouth had long lost any taste for delicacies.
Now, during this time, he was taking the opportunity to indulge in the unique cuisine of China.
After all, only when something is lost do you realize its value.
Since it was Saturday, the cafeteria wasn’t very crowded.
Soon, it was Lin Yu’s turn to get his meal.
However, as he received his spicy hotpot and found a seat to enjoy it, a cold reprimand suddenly came from ahead.
“Lin Yu, how can you still be eating here? Get up right now!”
Lin Yu looked up, frowning slightly as the speakers were none other than Su Yao and Li Xue, who had come to confront him.
The one speaking was Li Xue, arms crossed over her ample chest, towering over Lin Yu with a demanding glare, clearly seeking an explanation.
Beside her, Su Yao in her JK uniform glared coldly, resembling a resentful woman scorned.
Lin Yu’s gaze swept over the two without a trace of emotion, then he bowed his head and continued eating.
Though both were considered beauties at Qingteng University—especially Su Yao, hailed as the campus flower—right now, compared to the food in his bowl, they were hardly worth attention.
“Lin Yu, don’t be ungrateful!” Li Xue raised her voice several decibels, trembling with anger.
She never imagined the usually submissive Lin Yu would dare ignore her and Su Yao so blatantly.
Was he not afraid Su Yao would truly stop paying attention to him?
Compared to Li Xue, Su Yao was much calmer, though her eyes grew colder as she stared at Lin Yu.
Because of Li Xue’s loud outburst, many onlookers quickly gathered around.
Both Lin Yu and Su Yao were well-known figures at Qingteng University.
Their love-hate relationship was a classic tale widely circulated on campus.
“I already broke up with her; what are you guys still doing here? Can’t let go?”
Lin Yu didn’t care about the surrounding stares. He looked at Su Yao and Li Xue with a teasing tone.
Since they wanted to make a scene, he saw no reason to give them face.
“What? Lin Yu actually took the initiative to break up?”
“Impossible! Didn’t Lin Yu just a few days ago love Su Yao to death?”

“Maybe it’s because of the gaming headset. Twenty thousand yuan is no small sum.”
“Perhaps, but Lin Yu breaking up might not be a bad thing. In my opinion, Su Yao isn’t worthy of him.”
The moment Lin Yu finished speaking, the entire cafeteria erupted in uproar. No one expected Lin Yu to take the initiative to break up.
“Lin Yu, what did you say?!”
Li Xue’s face darkened as she saw Lin Yu’s indifferent, even slightly frivolous attitude.
She never imagined he would be so disrespectful to her and Su Yao.
However, before she could say more, Su Yao interrupted, her face dark as she stared at Lin Yu.
“Lin Yu, I’m giving you one last chance. Kneel and beg me, and I’ll forgive what happened today; otherwise, I will never speak to you again.”
Clearly, Lin Yu’s earlier behavior had deeply humiliated her in front of everyone.
Su Yao’s confidence came from her belief that Lin Yu was just sulking with her.
She was convinced Lin Yu neither wanted nor dared to lose her.
At her words, Lin Yu paused slightly and lowered his head.
Seeing this, Su Yao smiled triumphantly, thinking he was about to relent.
Playing dumb? If I get serious, a pathetic little sycophant is easy to control.
But just as she waited for Lin Yu to kneel and apologize, he suddenly raised his head, looking at her as if she were an idiot, and said:
“Thank heavens. From now on, please don’t bother me while I’m eating.”
Wow!
His words sent the crowd into another frenzy, as no one expected Lin Yu to be so resolute.
Is this really the Lin they knew—the lovesick, obedient Lin?
Even Su Yao was momentarily dazed, frozen in place and unable to react.
Li Xue’s chest trembled violently with rage, itching to tear Lin Yu apart.
“Lin Yu, I’m giving you one last chance...”
Su Yao bit her lip, eyes dark as water, truly angry now!
Before she could finish, Lin Yu interrupted calmly, “You don’t need to give me chances. Even if you gave me ten thousand, the result would be the same. Let’s go. For old times’ sake, I don’t want to make it too hard for you.”
Lin Yu’s voice was eerily calm, as if unaffected by the earlier chaos.
Su Yao’s expression froze; she felt an unfamiliar sensation from Lin Yu.
She wanted to lash out, but seeing Lin Yu’s terrifyingly composed gaze and the murmuring crowd, she could only glare coldly and say, “Fine to break up, but you must give me the gaming headset!”
“?”
Lin Yu almost laughed at the absurdity. This woman was still fixated on the gaming headset.
Shaking his head, he looked at Su Yao and said coldly, “I told you, I’ve already used the headset. Even if I hadn’t, why should I give it to you? Sorry, but you’re not worthy.”
