Outside the classroom, Feng Qing was about to go to the toilet when she heard someone call her from behind. “Student… Student Feng Qing?!”
Feng Qing turned around and saw a boy walking towards her. This boy was tall and thin and was wearing a pair of glasses. He looked at her shyly and nervously.
Feng Qing said, “You are?”
The boy blushed and said, “Hello, Student Feng Qing. I’m a third-year student in the Finance Department, Liu Yan.”
Feng Qing smiled and nodded. Those who could study finance were all people who had good results. Moreover, their family conditions were not bad. At the very least, they were self-employed. There was only a difference in difficulty in all the courses in the finance department. There was no difference in grades, so everyone’s learning was basically the same. It just depended on who learned and understood more.
Feng Qing asked, “Hello, Student Liu. Why are you looking for me?”
Liu Yan took out a pink thumb drive from his pocket and handed it to her. “Student Feng Qing, welcome to the Finance Department. This thumb drive is filled with videos and other information about the Finance Department that I’ve collected. You’re so outstanding in the midterm examination this time and even broke the entire school’s record. I believe that as long as you work hard, you’ll definitely be able to shine in the Finance Department. The weekly homework isn’t that difficult. You won’t do badly as long as you have more information. You’ve just joined the Finance Department, so you should have a lot of knowledge blind spots. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask me anytime. Then, um… can I have your number?”
Liu Yan said a lot in one breath. From his tone and rhythm, it was obvious that he had memorized the words before. After saying that, he even stared at Feng Qing nervously.
Feng Qing pondered for a moment. “Sure.”
With that, she took out her phone and added Liu Yan as a friend. Other than Xie Shihao, Gu Qingye, and her good brother, Xu Mingqian, she really didn’t have any other friends at Capital University. She even specially wrote ‘Senior Liu Yan’ for Liu Yan.
“Student Feng Qing, thank you for adding me as a friend. I-I’m very honored.” Liu Yan was so happy that he didn’t know what to say. His hand that was holding the phone trembled slightly.
Liu Yan suddenly thought of something and said, “Do you know that there’s an unwritten rule for every examination, thesis, and weekly homework in the Finance Department?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing asked in confusion, “An unwritten rule? What’s that?”
The next second, Liu Yan’s expression became serious and a little pious. Then, he pressed his palms together and said, “The unwritten rule of our school is that every time there’s a major event, we have to bow to the God of Business, Xie Jiuhan. Just like how I’m doing. I close my eyes and press my palms together. I will bow three times to the Di Hui Building of the Xie Corporation and silently pray for the protection of God Xie Jiuhan. I can either wish to do well in the examination or pass the thesis in one go.”
Feng Qing : “…”
Feng Qing looked at Liu Yan’s serious expression and said in amusement, “Are you sure this will work?”
Liu Yan said mysteriously, “Of course it’s useful. At first, I didn’t believe it either. Later on, I secretly worshiped Xie Jiuhan a few times. Guess what? My academic results started to improve. Later on, I could get first place in the entire department every time. At least, I could get top three. However, you have to pay attention to one thing. When you thank Jiuhan, you have to be pious and sincere!”
Feng Qing: “???”
When Liu Yan mentioned Xie Jiuhan, his eyes shone with starlight. Feng Qing did not say anything else. Instead, she looked at Liu Yan’s phone and said, “Senior Liu, do you want my autograph?”
When she added him as a friend just now, she saw her sticker on Liu Yan’s phone case. Moreover, Liu Yan’s past messages were almost all about the Siren, so she asked.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan’s face, which had just returned to normal, instantly turned red again. Moreover, it was so red that it was about to bleed. He hurriedly took out a pen from his bag and handed it to Feng Qing. “Sign it in my bag. This way, I can carry it on my back every day in school and make everyone envious. I’m indeed your fan. Your singing is really good. I have to listen to your songs every day to sleep.”
Feng Qing smiled. “Thank you for your support.”
Not far away, Lu Yingying and her roommate watched Feng Qing and Liu Yan talk. Lu Yingying’s roommate said sourly, “No wonder her stage name is Siren. She’s really a vixen. Look at how she seduced Senior Liu Yan. He’s about to lose his soul.”
Lu Yingying said disdainfully, “Hmph, if she was smart, she would have told Senior Liu Yan to help her do her homework. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to complete this week’s homework. I took a look at the homework question left behind by Professor Sun Bin just now. It’s definitely the most difficult question this semester. Even I, the top three in the class, don’t have the confidence to pass, let alone an art student like her.”
