The warm and bright morning sunlight of autumn shone through the window and fell on his handsome profile, making his features appear even more striking.

With a high, straight nose, her thin lips curved into a gentle arc as she immersed herself in the beautiful, soothing music, her lips elegant and refined, carrying a hint of intoxicating smile.

Bathed in bright sunlight, the man's eyes were slightly closed as he immersed himself in the music. His cool and extraordinary demeanor gradually revealed a touch of refined and clean handsomeness.

Gong Ning leaned against the door frame, gradually becoming mesmerized by the sight.

The piano music in her ears was beautiful and relaxing, and the scene in her eyes was pleasing and charming. The girl's breathing gradually became lighter.

In that instant, she felt the warmth and comfort of peaceful times, so comfortable that she didn't want to move...

As the tall, slender figure in her eyes grew larger and larger in her infatuated gaze, Gong Ning suddenly snapped out of her daze and saw the obvious teasing smile in the man's eyes. A few intoxicating blushes quickly spread across her fair face.

With a light cough, Gong Ning grasped the man's fingers and changed the subject, "We don't have any classes coming up, so what are our plans?"

Amidst the soft gasps of surprise from the crowd and the heartbroken gazes of the girls present, Yan Jingzhou pulled Gong Ning into his arms and walked towards the door. "Have you thought about what you're going to do?"

Gong Ning blinked her eyes, "I want to eat something delicious!"

The man spoke casually, "Hmm, what would you like to eat?"

The girl's bright eyes darted around for a moment, then she blurted out, "Ice cream!"

"No!" The man refused her coldly, almost without hesitation.

Gong Ning's face fell. "In a while, when it gets colder, I really won't be able to eat anymore. Just let me have a little bit, okay? Trust me, my physical condition is great now, okay?"

The girl extended a slender finger again and gently poked the man's side.

As she expected, the other person stiffened slightly, then turned their head to look at her with deep eyes, their slightly pursed lips revealing a hint of dangerous warning.

A hint of smugness flashed in the girl's eyes, but the next instant, her mischievous fingers were enveloped by the man's warm hand, and his slightly seductive breath brushed against her ear, "Be good, don't be naughty..."

He paused, then leaned closer to her ear and whispered cryptically, "If you don't behave..."

The atmosphere between the two instantly became subtly ambiguous and tinged with a hint of danger...

Gong Ning suddenly stiffened, quickly dodging his hot breath that lingered around her ear, "Um... I don't want to eat anymore, let's go, let's go, stroll around the campus...!"

A faint smile flickered in the man's dark eyes. He straightened up and said calmly, "Yes, let's go!"

The crowd of onlookers, their jaws dropping in shock, left.

It turns out that Professor Yan's handsome face, which was usually cold and indifferent, could also display such a gentle and lively expression.

So gentle!

A tall, slender man held the girl's hand and walked slowly along the winding forest path. The dappled sunlight and shadows behind them created a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

Gong Ning let the man wrap his hands around hers and walked quietly. The wind blowing on her face was slightly cool, but it couldn't suppress the throbbing in the girl's heart.

Looking up at the man's beautifully shaped jawline, smelling his pleasant, refreshing scent, and gazing at his refined and elegant face...

For the second time in a short period of time, Gong Ning felt a sense of peace and comfort, as if the world were still at peace.

In the time I spend with him, perhaps I don't need so-called passion, just having him is enough.

This is Gong Ning's simplest understanding of her relationship with Yan Jingzhou at this moment.

Having lived through three lifetimes, she managed to make a mess of the warmest family relationships in the world, and she never experienced the love that everyone yearns for.

Loving someone is a first, and learning to love someone is an even greater first.

She kept telling herself that she loved A-Zhou, wanted to stay by A-Zhou's side forever, and wanted to be with A-Zhou forever.

But they don't know what liking or love is.

Her awkwardness and clumsiness left Yan Jingzhou, who had thought she had finally figured it out, feeling frustrated and depressed for a long time...

Most of the time, she seemed to subconsciously regard Yan Jingzhou as both a teacher and a friend, and often played around with him like a child, never associating it with romantic love. Their relationship was more like family and friendship.

This sense of helplessness had been weighing on Yan Jingzhou's mind for a long time, and as time went by, he wanted even more.

It's unclear when their relationship will experience a significant breakthrough.

When will love, this pure and noble word, finally grace Gong Ning?

...

Xiao Yisheng bombarded him with several more links, clearly knowing that he was being exploited again.

Gong Ning suddenly snapped out of her daze, took out her phone, and looked at the links.

Suddenly, I lost all interest in taking a walk.

He pulled Yan Jingzhou and took her home.

She wanted to find a secluded room to hide in and secretly peek at the secret manual Xiao Yisheng had given her.

She refused to believe that such enviable curves couldn't be achieved through hard work.

As for why Gong Ning is so persistent about this...

Perhaps only Xiao Yisheng knows.

When we returned to Xingzhan Garden, it was not yet 11 a.m.

Gong Ning urged Yan Jingzhou impatiently to go to the study to handle some business, "Oh, Jingzhou, you've stayed with me at school for so long, there must be a lot of things to take care of, so hurry up and get busy, good luck!"
