C52 Night Glasses.

"Han Xue, are you okay?" Ye Yu asked gently, looking at her from his seat.

Today, Han Xue had applied a subtle touch of makeup, but Ye Yu's keen eyesight, combined with his supercomputing skills, made it easy for him to deduce that she had been crying the night before.

Lost in thought, Han Xue snapped back to reality at the sound of Ye Yu's voice. "Oh, Ye Yu, you've arrived."

Ye Yu, pointing to Han Xue's eyes, whispered, "It looks like you've been crying. Is everything okay?"

Quickly rubbing her eyes, Han Xue replied with a hint of panic, "No, I just got some sand in my eyes this morning."

Seeing that Han Xue wasn't forthcoming, Ye Yu decided not to press further.

"This morning I saw Ouyang Yu. Did I hear right that he's transferring to another class?"

At the mention of Ouyang Yu, Han Xue's expression soured. "He's getting off easy. If it weren't for his mother being on the school board, his vile tactics would have gotten him expelled!"

After a pause, Han Xue added with concern, "Ye Yu, be careful with him. He's just taken a big hit and he's not likely to let it slide."

Ye Yu nodded, his eyes flashing with resolve. "If he keeps to himself, fine. But if he dares to cause me trouble again, he'll regret it."

In the principal's office at Xiang Yu Middle School, Principal Lee Xueshu regarded Ouyang Yu with a stern look.

"Your mother has spoken to me. You'll be moving to a new class. Remember, this is your last chance! Even with your mother on the board, I won't hesitate to expel you next time!"

Ouyang Yu, standing before Principal Lee, took a deep breath and bowed his head. "I understand, Principal. It won't happen again."

After a moment of contemplation, Principal Lee waved dismissively. "Go on, then. Take some time to reflect."

"Yes, sir," Ouyang Yu replied, before turning to leave the office, the door closing with a definitive click behind him.

Thud!

Outside, Ouyang Yu's fist collided with the wall of the teaching block as he seethed, "Ye Yu! This isn't over!"

Later, during a break, Ye Yu couldn't contain his excitement for the reward he'd earned from a morning rescue. He found a secluded spot to engage in the lottery.

"System, start the lottery draw!"

[Beep! One lottery chance consumed. The draw begins!]

A vast wheel materialized in Ye Yu's mind, its slender needle spinning wildly. Divided into sections and obscured by a thick mosaic, the details were indiscernible.

Relying on luck, Ye Yu waited briefly before calling out, "That's it!"

The needle's frantic spin slowed to a halt, the mosaic vanished, and the prize was revealed.

A cup?

The image in his mind faded and materialized in Ye Yu's hand—a cup, black as ink with swirling cloud patterns, reminiscent of an ancient Night Glasses but more refined. It felt smooth as jade, a delight to hold.

"Beep! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Night Glasses!" announced the system's voice, timely echoing in Ye Yu's mind.

"Night Glasses? Are you referring to the Night Glasses from the poem about grape wine?" Ye Yu inquired with a hint of skepticism.

"Night Glasses: In this world, there exists an extraordinary jade known as Wine Jade. It feels as soft as a young girl's delicate skin, and it exudes the rich aroma of fine wine! Crafted by a master, it becomes the Night Glasses."

"Pour any liquid into this cup, and it transforms into Exquisite Beautiful Wine!"

The system was incredibly thoughtful, providing Ye Yu with the details about the Night Glasses without delay.

The idea that simply touching it felt like caressing a young girl's soft skin, and that it carried the scent of fine wine? And that any liquid poured into it would turn into Exquisite Beautiful Wine?

This was absolutely fantastic! Overwhelmed by the system's description, Ye Yu couldn't contain his excitement.

He tenderly stroked the sleek, delicate Night Glasses and lifted it to his nose. A captivating wine fragrance enveloped him.

It was utterly enchanting!
