Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

With all of Cui Ruru's expectations failing, the words said by Yue Xuexia had hurt her a lot. She was her role model. What is wrong with her asking for an even better role model? She didn't ask for much. All Cui Ruru wanted was for Yue Xuexia to be a perfect person. What she didn't realize was that there are no perfect humans in existence. If there is indeed a perfect being, they wouldn't be called humans but gods. With her failure to meet her expectations, Cui Ruru's admiration turned to hatred. This hatred made her drag Yue Xuexia in the end, where she lost something and she, Cui Ruru, took away something.

The reason Cui Ruru approached Sui Lengya in the first place is because he is Yue Xuexia's boyfriend. Her intention to steal was obvious, and it just happened that, at that time, Sui Lengya's feelings for Yue Xuexia were wavering. This causes a gap between the two of them, enough for Cui Ruru to sneak in. Eventually, Cui Ruru got what she wanted. Right from the beginning to the end, Yue Xuexia never blamed her. She just chooses to walk away from them. After graduation, they separated and lost connection to one another.

It's just Cui Ruru's obsession that cannot be forgotten so easily. Even after taking away the man that Yue Xuexia used to love in high school, she still feels it wasn't enough. She wanted to see more of Yue Xuexia's negative expressions. The more pain Yue Xuexia shows, the more she feels good for herself. This obsession of hers followed her to her current age, as if she never grew up at all from when they were in high school.

Seeing Cui Ruru being dragged away by her husband, Sui Lengya, Yue Xuexia completely lost interest in her. In the first place, Sui Lengya is just an ex-boyfriend, and with how her current life is, she wanted to focus more on her family and helping the system and Yangyang gain the merits they wanted. She had no time to waste on men, as she had completely gotten over it. Maybe because of that one vow she made in her life, she completely loses the feeling for a man as another half of her life.

What Yue Xuexia didn't notice was that Sui Lengya was sneaking some glances her way, but Shen Jueyang intentionally blocked it by taking away her attention. He even gave Sui Lengya a warning gaze. Almost everyone who was watching the scene noticed it except for Yue Xuexia, who was focusing her gaze on Cui Ruru.

On the sidelines, Hu Yiran and Chen Yiling, together with their husbands, didn't expect Shen Jueyang to act that way. Even though Yue Xuexia didn't notice it, they themselves saw him give Sui Lengya a warning gaze. His gaze suddenly turned sharp and scary. It was a complete contrast to how he looks at Yue Xuexia, with such a doting and patient gaze. Shen Jueyang, himself, didn't expect he would like this at another human except for that foolish one from before.

After Sui Lengya and Cui Ruru left the hall with an excuse to change clothes, Hu Yiran and Chen Yiling approached Yue Xuexia at their table. They can see that their friend is enjoying herself as she feeds the man that comes with her. Shen Jueyang, who was pretending to be Yangyang, had no choice but to eat as if he were a glutton, like how Yangyang portrayed himself. He didn't want Yue Xuexia to know that he was the main body or the system that appeared in her life that day.

Hu Yiran grabbed Yue Xuexia's arm and said, "Xiaxia, you did right. That couple didn't have any good intentions in the first place."

"I truly don't understand why Sui Lengya brought that woman here. Sigh~ anyway, it's better to just ignore them. They aren't that important anyway," said Chen Yiling.

"I know. I want to greet our teachers. Have they arrived?" Yue Xuexia asked.

Chen Yiling nodded her head and said, "Those who are in the country have attended, and others aren't available. I will go with you to greet them."

"I also want to go!" Hu Yiran said before turning around to look at her husband. "We three will go alone. You guys can wait at the table or at the bar. The host should be starting the event soon."

Xu Xingju didn't mind that his wife wanted to bond with Yue Xuexia and Chen Yiling. These girls had just recently gotten together; it's better to give them space.

"Go ahead. I will accompany Fu-ge and Shen-ge to the bar. Greet the teachers on behalf of me," Xu Xingju said.

Yue Xuexia was dragged away by Hu Yiran and Chen Yiling towards the corner where the teachers were seated. Like them, they had brought their families. After all, spending three days in a 5-star hotel is quite a special experience for average to middle-class families. Since everything is free for those three, they should be able to enjoy themselves well. The teachers had welcomed Yue Xuexia with a smile and almost respect. Yue Xuexia told them that they didn't need to react in such a polite way as they could be considered elders of hers. Moreover, they used to be her teachers, and she respected them for their professions as teachers.

On these tables, some teachers brought their young children with them. Though they were held back from running around as they were afraid of breaking things in the hotel,.

"Please let the children play around. Don't worry about breaking things. This is my hotel. I wouldn't dare ask my teachers for such small things. Let them enjoy themselves," Yue Xuexia said as she suddenly gestured to the nearest waiter to come over.

The waiters and waitresses in the hall all recognized the face of the owner of this Crowned Regent Hotel. They were all respectful to those the owner had shown kindness to. They politely bowed their heads and waited for their next task.

With a slight bow, "Mistress, do you have some orders?" the waiter asked.

"It will take time before dinner is served. Serve some snacks and fruits on each table, especially one that children enjoy," Yue Xuexia said. "Also tell the host to begin the event; the time for dinner must not be postponed. Also, the ones at the buffet area, send some to do the serving so the process of getting food will be done fast as there are a lot of people."

"As you command, Mistress!" The waiter took his leave and informed his superior in the hall. In just a few minutes, all requests from Yue Xuexia had been fulfilled.

The event had started when the hosts had gone on stage. The reunion party had officially begun. The party was enjoyed by everyone, especially when the dance floor was finally opened. Those who brought their husbands and wives had a rare romantic moment on the dance floor. As for the children, they enjoyed themselves well, and the staff in the hall not only helped look after them to allow their parents to have fun in the hall, they were almost allowed to do anything they wanted when they went to stores in the hotel, bringing some gifts with them when they came back.

When Sui Lengya and Cui Ruru returned to the hall, almost everyone was on the dance floor, enjoying themselves as if they were undergoing another prom night like when they were in high school. At the center of all attention was Yue Xuexia, who was dancing with Shen Jueyang. The two of them both had such high-quality appearances that people could hardly look away. Not far from them, Hu Yiran and Xu Xingju were also dancing. The same is true of Chen Yiling and her husband, Fu Guren. This scene made Sui Lengya recall Prom Night, when he failed to ask Yue Xuexia a dance because of their situation at the time.

Seeing this scene made Sui Lengya's mood gloomier. Even after he and Cui Ruru danced in the hall like everyone else, the atmosphere between this couple and the others was simply different. After dancing around, a lot of single men wanted to ask Yue Xuexia for a dance. The latter didn't mind, but after dancing with three former classmates and good friends, Yue Xuexia declined the rest of the dance invitation. She returns to the table where her friends are seated.

Hu Yiran said, "Still popular as always."

"It's just dancing. Moreover, those guys truly haven't changed at all," Chen Yiling said.

Yue Xuexia added, "It's not like they can ask you for a dance, Yiran. Xu Xingju's possessiveness is well-known. No one will dare ask you for a dance. Just pull your husband back on the dance floor and dance all you want."

Hu Yiran looked at her husband and sighed when she saw him smiling at him, but it was obviously a warning that she can't dance with anyone else but him.

Sigh~

"Why did I choose this man again?" Hu Yiran mumbles, yet everyone at their table laughed at her.

Hahaha~

Obviously, these two, who were staring at one another, only looked like they were flirting in the eyes of others.

After a while, no one knows how Sui Lengya sent his wife away and approached their table. To be exact, he wanted to talk with Yue Xuexia. The moment he approached the table, the men looked at him with a frown, except for Xu Xingju's helpless look. As for Hu Yiran, she already stood up and blocked Sui Lengya's path. Even Chen Yiling had blocked Sui Lengya's line of sight, which had Yue Xuexia in his eyes. As for the depths of Shen Jueyang's eyes, it turns icy, making Fu Guren, who can feel qi in their surroundings, a bit suffocated as silence descends in their area.

Yue Xuexia's voice broke the silence. "Yangyang." This name instantly calmed down the raging emotions of Shen Jueyang, which made the atmosphere uncomfortable, and the pressing aura on the table faded, making Fu Guren breathe normally once again.

"Yiran, Yiling, let him pass," Yue Xuexia said.

Hu Yiran said, "But Xiaxia..." She was pulled back by her husband and had no choice but to sit down.

"Let's just watch quietly, okay~" Xu Xingju said.

Hmp! 

Chen Yiling glanced at Yue Xuexia and sighed when she saw her nod. She sat back beside her husband, and only then did she notice Fu Guren's sweating face.

"Are you alright? What happened?" Chen Yiling asked worriedly as she helped wipe her husband's face.

Fu Guren glanced at Shen Jueyang, whose whole demeanor turned cold and unapproachable the moment Sui Lengya appeared. He had a hunch that, if not for Yue Xuexia calling his name just now, this dangerous man would have mercilessly killed that man called Sui Lengya.

Cough.

"It's nothing. I just felt a bit uncomfortable. I'm fine now," Fu Guren responded to his wife.

Sui Lengya stopped a meter away from where Yue Xuexia was seated. He wanted to speak, but the moment he opened his mouth, he didn't know what he wanted to say. He just keeps staring at Yue Xuexia, who treats him coldly and indifferently. It's similar to how she treated her after they broke up. It was as if he no longer existed in her world. There is a stabbing pain in Sui Lengya's heart seeing her reaction.

"Xue'er…"

"I would like it if Mr. Su called me Miss Yue instead. We have no relationship of any kind after all," Yue Xuexia said. Her tone is aloof and polite. It was completely different when she talked with Hu Yiran and Chen Yiling.

The pain in his heart got stronger, but Sui Lengya pretended not to hear her indifference. He smiled and asked, as if they were still friends. He didn't want to call her 'Miss Yue' —such a completely distant way of calling.

"Are you happy now?" Sui Lengya asked.

Sigh~

The one who let out such a tired sigh was none other than Yue Xuexia. It made another tremble, as if something would explode sooner or later. Yue Xuexia stood up from her seat, walked gracefully, and stood in front of Sui Lengya, looking straight into his eyes with nothing but indifference. Their difference in height had changed. Before, Yue Xuexia was a head smaller than Sui Lengya, but now they are almost at the same height, with Yue Xuexia being a bit taller thanks to her heels.

Sui Lengya felt delighted when Yue Xuexia was willing to look at him. But when their eyes met, there was nothing within Yue Xuexia's eyes. It was expressionless, as if she couldn't see him at all. It made him completely uncomfortable. He wanted to reach out, but even before he lifted his hand, a force hit his face.

Slap!

Sui Lengya was slapped, but Yue Xuexia. It was quite loud, which caused everyone to suddenly become quiet. On the other hand, the man was dumbfounded as he held his throbbing cheek. He didn't expect Yue Xuexia to do that and looked at her in disbelief, but the eyes of the gorgeous lady in front of him were just plain icy. He even has a feeling that she is looking down on him.
