Yes, he broke her high heels, he has to buy her a new pair!

Ji Bei smiled, looking nothing like someone who needed compensation.

“Brother Ji…” Shen Cong looked at him suspiciously: “You’re acting really strange today. I’ve come back and you’re ignoring me, and you’re glued to your phone all day.”

He immediately narrowed his eyes and looked him up and down, then let out a scream: "You're not actually in love, are you?"

Ji Bei's ears turned red: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Dating...

Ji Bei felt a slight stirring in his heart. He started playing e-sports when he was fourteen and is now nineteen. He has met many girls.

But I've never thought about it that way... But now, just hearing the words "dating" makes me feel a strange itch inside, especially with Teacher Bai. When they're dating, they hold hands, kiss, and then...

"Brother Ji, go look in the mirror, you're practically dead now."

Shen Cong struck a Sherlock Holmes pose and then asked, "You like Teacher Bai?"

Don't let his size fool you; he's surprisingly meticulous. Today, during class, Brother Ji's eyes were glued to Teacher Bai the whole time.

"When the school beauty confessed her feelings to you, you ignored her. I thought you were a reincarnated monk!"

"I didn't expect you to be such a sucker for good looks!"

Having his secret exposed, Ji Bei didn't argue, and just kept smiling foolishly while holding his phone.

"Brother Ji, how far has it gone? Tell me!" Shen Cong was annoyed: "You didn't just confess to Teacher Bai and she already agreed, did you?" That can't be right.

Ji Bei said smugly, "She added me on WeChat, found out I failed a course, and even said I could come to her lab for tutoring."

Shen Cong: ...Let's forget about tutoring.

"So, are you going to pursue Teacher Bai?"

Pursue her?

Ji Bei's heart stirred slightly, but then, as if remembering something, his brows furrowed again, and he said dejectedly, "Never mind."

Seeing his hesitation, Shen Cong asked, "Why do you want to forget it?"

"Because she's a teacher? She's not really our teacher. She's here to teach in place of Professor Lin. You can just wait until she finishes teaching her class and then catch up with her."

Ji Bei still frowned.

Shen Cong seemed to realize something and cautiously asked, "Is it still because of your illness?"

"It's really nothing, isn't it? The doctor said that with careful recuperation, it might even be cured. Besides, you haven't had a relapse since you retired. Look how healthy you are now..."

Ji Bei lowered his eyes, put his phone aside, and lay back down on the bed.
