Chapter 294 A Messy Situation

After explaining the exam paper, Bai Ye stretched his stiff shoulders slightly, took a deep breath, and finally asked the question that had been lingering in his mind.

"Senior, how's your tutoring job search going?"

Bai Ye looked at Su Zhimeng with concern, his eyes revealing a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

After all, this matter concerns the senior's life and academic arrangements, so Bai Ye naturally cares a lot about it.

When Su Zhimeng heard Bai Ye's question, she was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Bai Ye to suddenly bring up this topic.

However, she quickly came to her senses and began to recall what had happened that morning. The corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up, revealing a sweet smile.

"Don't worry, junior. I was lucky enough to find a suitable tutoring job this morning." Su Zhimeng's voice was clear and melodious, like the most beautiful birdsong in spring.

Then, she told Bai Ye in detail: "The parent was a single mother who wanted to find an excellent tutor for her daughter. We had a very pleasant conversation, and she expressed her high regard for my abilities."

After hearing this, Bai Ye finally felt relieved and was genuinely happy for Su Zhimeng.

He was especially relieved when he learned that she came from a single-parent family. He couldn't imagine what would happen if a male parent took advantage of the teaching opportunity to do something inappropriate to the female student.

On this point, Bai Ye would absolutely not allow anyone to threaten the senior's physical and mental safety.

"Great, senior! It seems everything is going very smoothly," Bai Ye said with a smile, her face full of joy.

Su Zhimeng nodded, her beautiful eyes, as bright as stars, sparkling with endless light, like the most dazzling star in the night sky.

"Yes, that's right. I signed a one-semester contract with Ms. Lin this morning, and I can officially start teaching her child tomorrow night."

Bai Ye smiled and encouraged her, "Senior, keep it up! I believe that with your abilities, you will definitely be able to teach that little girl well."

Su Zhimeng nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with confidence and determination: "Thank you, junior. I will definitely do my best in this job!"

The emotions between people are like an invisible bond that can closely connect them, enabling them to understand, care for, and empathize with each other.

The senior student always put herself in her shoes and considered things from her perspective, wholeheartedly thinking about her needs.

In return, he would naturally treat his senior in the same way.

As Saturday's tutoring session came to an end, Bai Ye gently closed her book, looked up at Su Zhimeng, and a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes.

He said softly, "Let me take you home, senior."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhimeng instinctively wanted to shake her head in refusal.

After all, she was no longer the little girl who needed someone to escort her.

However, as this thought flashed through his mind, another idea quickly took over—this journey would not only get him home safely, but also provide him with precious time to spend with his junior.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded slightly in agreement.

This road home was very familiar to Su Zhimeng; her junior had walked this road with her many times.

But for some reason, my mood is different today, as if an indescribable joy is quietly blooming in my heart.

Perhaps it was because the feelings she had been suppressing in her heart were finally revealed to Bai Ye unintentionally and subtly; or perhaps it was because the words she had kept hidden in her heart were finally spoken, making her feel an unprecedented sense of ease and relief.

Although the junior did not directly respond to her confession of feelings at the time, at least he neither objected nor flatly rejected her.

In this way, the distance between the two did not become distant because of this confession; on the contrary, they maintained their original closeness.

In a way, isn't this a subtle development?

At the same time, Bai Ye, who was walking beside her, also keenly noticed the change in the senior student next to her.

She seemed more cheerful and lively than usual, her smile as radiant as the brightest spring sunshine. The light sparkling in her bright eyes seemed to contain endless joy and anticipation.

Bai Ye couldn't help but wonder what could have made his senior so radiant and charming? Could it be... because of his offer to take her home? Or was there some other reason he didn't know about?

Bai Ye stared at the perplexing situation before him, his mind a jumble of thoughts that he couldn't unravel no matter how hard he tried.

However, whenever he saw the joyful smile on his senior's face, his mood would involuntarily brighten as well.

Just as they turned a corner, a young couple suddenly appeared directly in front of them.

The young couple were holding hands, exuding an indescribable intimacy, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.

Such a loving scene made Su Zhimeng, who was standing to the side, involuntarily turn her head to look at them.

To be honest, Su Zhimeng has never truly experienced the taste of love. Almost all of her knowledge about love comes from those thick books and the complex online world.

Therefore, when faced with her special feelings for Bai Ye, she always felt somewhat confused and bewildered. It took her a whole year to gradually begin to understand the true nature of these feelings.

After all, the various theories and experiences about love described in the book are merely summaries and generalizations from our predecessors.

But when love truly comes to you, those so-called methods and patterns seem to completely lose their effectiveness and cannot be applied to your own situation.

At that moment, Su Zhimeng's gaze unconsciously fell on Bai Ye's hands. For some reason, a strong impulse welled up in her heart, and she wanted to try to hold those hands.

However, the last shred of reason kept reminding her: Bai Ye wasn't her boyfriend! Would it be too intimate or abrupt to just hold his hand like that?

For a moment, Su Zhimeng's mind was in complete turmoil.
