The office.
Zhang Qin smiled as she looked at Su Yu.
“Te- Teacher, what do you need me for?”
Su Yu felt unnerved by her gaze.
Although Zhang Qin was attractive, she was over forty. Did she have feelings for him?
“Heh, tell me, how many classes have you skipped this semester?”
“Teacher, I didn’t mean to…”
Su Yu felt a little awkward. Was she going to settle accounts now?
There was nothing he could do. He was indeed very busy, but even so, he attended classes whenever he had the chance.
“Alright, if I wanted to cause trouble for you, you’d have been expelled long ago.”
Zhang Qin shot him a glance.
After a pause, she continued, “Has Zhao Yuan contacted you recently?”
“Zhao Yuan? Why would she look for me?” Su Yu was taken aback.
Wait, how did Teacher Zhang know Zhao Yuan?
“Teacher, how do you know CEO Zhao?”
He asked, utterly confused.
“Heh, what’s so strange about that? I’m also part of Xinghui.”
Zhang Qin seemed to enjoy Su Yu’s surprise. She picked up her teacup and smiled at him lightly.
“You’re also with Xinghui?” Su Yu frowned upon hearing this. He suddenly thought of something and widened his eyes, exclaiming, “You’re… that mysterious ace producer!”
He had heard long ago that his counselor was an ace producer.
Combining her words from earlier, it wasn’t hard to guess.
“Yes, very clever.”
Zhang Qin nodded, complimenting Su Yu.
“Uh… no wonder.” Su Yu smiled wryly and rubbed his nose.
What was this?
His teacher was a hidden powerhouse?
So, Xinghui’s mysterious ace producer was actually his own counselor…
This was absurd!
“You kid, you’re so capable, yet no one at the school knows.”
Zhang Qin looked at Su Yu and said with a hint of annoyance.
She hadn’t gone to the company after the semester started. It was only a while ago, when she visited the company, that she found out her frequently absent student was the recently popular “Listen to Rain.”
“Cough cough… I prefer to keep a low profile.”
Su Yu didn’t know what to say.
“Let’s not talk about that for now. That rapper online targeted you, what are your plans?”
Zhang Qin looked gossip-hungry.
She couldn’t wait to see Su Yu’s reply online and wanted to get the firsthand scoop from him directly.
“You mean Qin Shou Sheng?” Su Yu’s lips twitched.
As expected, even though Zhang Qin was a big name in composition, she was still a woman, and a woman’s gossipy nature never changed…
“That’s right. Aren’t you going to retaliate?” Zhang Qin looked at Su Yu, awaiting his answer.
“Aren’t there many people scolding him…”
There were plenty of people like him. If he had to reply to everyone, he’d be exhausted.
Moreover, with so many people online scolding him, there was no need for him to pay attention to such a clown.
“Others are scolding him because they support you, so you should definitely fight back. I’m telling you, if you don’t confront him directly, you won’t pass my class this semester!”
Zhang Qin’s brows furrowed.
“Teacher, this is too much…”
There was such a thing? Threatening him with his grades?
Although he had the ability.
But he really just wanted to keep a low profile…
“My student cannot be a coward!”
Zhang Qin said with a serious expression.
Su Yu was taken aback.
Zhang Qin’s words touched his heart.
To be honest, he hadn’t attended many classes this semester and had never really considered Zhang Qin as a teacher.
But now, her saying “my student” in front of him made him feel a strange sense of emotion.
Although he hadn’t learned much from her, her favoritism earlier and her special attention to him for so long qualified her to be called a teacher.
“Don’t worry, your student won’t be a coward.”
Zhang Qin’s words, he had to admit, stirred something in him.
All along, he had only wanted to keep a low profile, primarily due to fear of his depression relapsing.
But it seemed he had been too low-key.
To the point where anyone could slap him in the face.
Moreover, there were so many people online who supported him.
He suddenly felt a sense of clarity.
His depression was caused by cyberbullying, but he wasn't being cyberbullied now; instead, he had so many supporters.
So, what was there to fear?
Being timid and hesitant was indeed cowardly behavior.
“Heh, then I’ll be waiting with anticipation. If you can brilliantly retort, I’ll pass you for the rest of your semesters even if you don’t attend a single class.”
Zhang Qin’s lips curled into a triumphant smile.
…
After returning to the dormitory from Zhang Qin’s office.
Su Yu only then realized that he had been tricked.
He had been made to feel all fired up by Teacher Zhang’s words.
Given his current situation, creating just one song would be enough to pass, even if it wasn’t a perfect score.
Even if the teacher didn’t pass him, he could still report it to the school administration.
Teacher Zhang was indeed a teacher; her use of emotional appeal was excellent…
However, even though it was an emotional appeal, it wasn't wrong.
He had indeed been too low-key.
When someone offered their face to be slapped, how could he not give them a good one?
Therefore.
Awaken, it's hunting time!
Thinking of this.
He took out his phone and registered a Weibo account for himself.
He named it.
“Listen to Rain”
[Sorry, this ID has already been registered.]
Seeing this, Su Yu was stunned.
???
Someone had already snatched it?
That fiery enthusiasm immediately diminished by half.
“Listen to Rain’s real self”
[Sorry, this ID has already been registered.]
“I am Listen to Rain”
[Sorry…]
“Listen to Rain A”
[Sorry…]
…
Damn it!
Five minutes later.
Su Yu dejectedly put down his phone.
He couldn’t even register an account, how could he hunt anything!
There was no other way.
He had to call Zhao Yuan and ask her to contact Weibo officially.
Half an hour later, he finally obtained a verified account.
The account name was simply Listen to Rain.
There was a verification badge behind it.
“Now that’s more like it!”
Su Yu couldn’t help but feel relieved.
After refreshing, he suddenly had several hundred followers.
Then, his private messages immediately reached 99+.
“This is amazing?”
Su Yu opened his private messages.
“Wow, is it really Teacher Listen to Rain?”
“It’s verified, so it seems legitimate.”
“Teacher Listen to Rain, you’ve finally opened a Weibo account!”
“Are you preparing to respond? Teacher Listen to Rain, if you’re a man, confront them head-on. We support you!”
“Don’t let that foreigner be so arrogant!”
“…”
The string of supportive private messages made Su Yu feel a strange sense of emotion.
He had been developing covertly all this time, and he hadn't expected so many people online to support him.
This feeling, to be honest, felt quite good.
[Ding, host’s mentality has changed. Depression tolerance has increased, memory seal loosened by 10%.]
The system’s voice rang out.
Something suddenly appeared in his mind.
However, these additions didn't connect with his original memories; instead, they made him more confused.
“Memory seal?”
Su Yu knew that part of his memory was sealed by the system. He hadn’t expected that this change in mentality would cause the system to proactively lift a portion of the seal.
[Each time the host’s mentality changes, the system will loosen a portion of the seal based on the situation.]
The system explained.
“I see. I’m really curious who I was in my past life.”
Su Yu took a deep breath and stopped paying attention to the unreal feeling in his mind.
