Jiang Jianian sneered, and Ye Zhiwei immediately took Jiang Jianian's hand and acted coquettishly, "I only said that to comfort my little sister. I'm already so good, how could I possibly want to have a younger brother..."

She changed her tune and her expression very quickly, making the previously timid senior high school girl burst into laughter. She hadn't expected that the seemingly unapproachable and glamorous senior, who appeared to be a bully, would have such a personality. She didn't even try to hide it in front of others, and was almost oblivious to everyone else as she comforted her boyfriend.

Jiang Jianian glanced at her, and Ye Zhiwei immediately stood up straight, obediently standing to the side in a well-behaved and compliant manner.

The biology teacher chuckled and said to Hongye, "Your senior, Jiang, had a guaranteed admission spot in his senior year of high school, but because he wasn't sure which school his girlfriend would get into, he gave it up and took the college entrance exam with her."

Hongye kept her head down and didn't say anything, but she was vaguely touched. Standing there, she thought about her relationship with her boyfriend and suddenly felt a little wronged.

"Your senior held back from confessing, focusing all his attention on waiting for his girlfriend to finish the college entrance exam. By the way, Zhiwei, when did you and Jianian officially become a couple?" the biology teacher asked. "I thought he wasn't very good at holding back in his senior year of high school. I kept asking his homeroom teacher to keep an eye on you, so that you wouldn't be able to do well on the college entrance exam if he told you his feelings. I didn't expect him to actually hold back until graduation."

Ye Zhiwei was stunned for a moment. Jiang Jianian did not confess his feelings after the college entrance examination. During that time, Ye Zhiwei indulged herself by staying in her room reading novels, wishing she could make up for all the time she spent studying hard in her senior year of high school by playing on her phone and reading novels. Meanwhile, Jiang Jianian worked diligently as a researcher for nearly four months, leaving early and returning late, and during those four months, he even got a house.

She later lived under the same roof with Jiang Jianian. Jiang Jianian seemed to be very restrained. Even the slightest physical contact with her would cause his expression to subtly change, which always left Ye Zhiwei puzzled. Perhaps Jiang Jianian was still trying to patiently boil the frog in the water. Unfortunately, Yu Shishu's appearance directly shattered Jiang Jianian's patience, and he finally confessed his feelings forcefully.

Ye Zhiwei recalled Jiang Jianian's different stages and states, and replied to the biology teacher: "Before, we were mainly getting to know each other, and we only officially got together recently."

The biology teacher was genuinely surprised that the two had only recently gotten together. He glanced at Jiang Jianian, couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, and said to Hongye, "You see, when a boy truly likes a girl, he'll be very careful. He won't want to be with her right now; he'll consider the future based on the specific circumstances of both of them. Little girl, you've only just turned 18. If you had started school earlier, you wouldn't even be an adult yet. You have a long future ahead of you. Don't ruin your future for a boy like this. Your grades were very good before; I remember you were almost in their A class several times, right? I was originally planning to put you in their A class, but I never expected your grades to fluctuate so much."

Hongye's eyes reddened, and she whispered, "I'm sorry, teacher."

The biology teacher advised Hongye, saying, "Alright, the main thing is for you to figure it out yourself. I'll withstand the pressure from above and not call your parents. When you get back to class, you need to think it over carefully and not let your teacher down."

Just as Hongye was about to leave, the biology teacher noticed a bag next to her and stopped her, asking, "Did you bring this? Did you bring this in with you when you came in?"

Hongye shook her head, saying it wasn't hers, and Jiang Jianian then explained, "I brought it."

The biology teacher was both amused and exasperated. "Our school doesn't allow gifts. Why did you bring this? You won first place in the biology competition back then, and you didn't embarrass me in the science section of the college entrance exam. Why bring a gift? Take it back!"

Jiang Jianian said casually, "They're just some snacks."

Ye Zhiwei immediately said, "Yes, yes, teacher, they are all snacks, and they are especially delicious. They were all made by Jiang Jianian himself."

The biology teacher was genuinely shocked. "You can make your own desserts?"

Jiang Jianian glanced at the teacher and said calmly, "It wasn't you who said that."

"What did I say... what did I say—" The biology teacher slowly recalled that he had mentioned pursuing girls to Jiang Jianian before, and seemed to have used a friend who was a pastry chef at a high-end hotel as an example. He coughed and said incredulously, "And then, you started cooking. You can actually make these things? Let me see what you've made."

The teacher opened the gift box bag, and on top of it was a large box of sliced ​​strawberry cream tarts, cut into eight pieces.

Hongye was called back. The biology teacher poured red lipstick into paper cups for everyone, then opened the glass box of strawberry tarts and said to the girl, "Let's try your senior Jiang's cooking together. You can actually make pastries, and they're so beautiful. Did you really make these?"

When the box was opened, the cake smelled very sweet, and the whole office was filled with the sweet aroma of strawberry cream.

The biology teacher grabbed some utensils, took one for himself, gave one to Ye Zhiwei, and then gave one to each of the students. When he tried to give one to Jiang Jianian, Jiang Jianian refused. Instead, Ye Zhiwei said, "He doesn't want to give me any. I can have two pieces! I can have two pieces!"

The biology teacher, who had been smiling and nodding to Ye Zhiwei, telling her to finish hers before getting more, took another bite of the crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside strawberry tart and immediately began to praise it highly.

The strawberries looked very fresh, and the cream was just the right amount of sweetness, making it incredibly smooth and fragrant. The addition of some nuts made it even more delicious. Not to mention the crispy cream tart with its many layers, each bite was incredibly satisfying. Especially for a biology teacher like me who also loves sweets, I immediately put the cream tart back into the glass box.

Ye Zhiwei: ...Didn't we just agree that we could take more after we finished eating?

"How did you make this? Did you really make this?" The biology teacher was clearly skeptical, her tone revealing doubt.

With a smile, Jiang Jianian thoughtfully handed the black tea that the biology teacher had just poured to Ye Zhiwei, and replied, "The method is not difficult. As long as you control the heat precisely, you can follow the recipe for the rest. There are also some desserts made using the molecular structure of ingredients in the bag. You can try them later."

The boy answered the teacher's questions, but his eyes were always on Ye Zhiwei. He even wiped the cream off Ye Zhiwei's lips. The whole process was smooth and effortless. Although he seemed aloof, unapproachable and difficult to get along with, every detail when he was with Ye Zhiwei showed his care and concern for her.

Hongye took a bite of the strawberry tart. The strawberry tart was obviously sweet and delicious, but it tasted strangely bitter in her mouth. Especially when she thought about the text message her boyfriend had just sent asking her to help him get Ye Zhiwei's contact information, she felt even more depressed and upset. She had become a love-struck girl that she used to look down on because of a terrible scumbag.
