In high school, everyone knew Zhou Yanchuan. From an illustrious background, with an excellent appearance, he was famously wild, untamable, and casually dissolute. Wen Jiu, on the other hand, was q...
Chapter 94: Knowing she had a boyfriend, but unable to resist liking her.
"Of course."
I answered without any hesitation.
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Then come and sit here obediently. I'll finish explaining the key points to you before I talk to you about Zhou Yanchuan."
"Hey, you go first. My mom doesn't know anyway. You'd better talk for two hours, then you can go home."
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Then your mother spent money on tutoring you for nothing."
“It’s okay, she has plenty of money anyway,” the girl replied naturally.
Wen Jiu's hand holding the book paused slightly for a moment.
At this moment, the girl grabbed her arm and said, "Senior, please tell me more about Zhou Yanchuan."
Wen Jiu couldn't resist the little girl's coquettishness and talked to her a little more, saying that she would talk about the rest after the lesson was finished.
The girl reluctantly agreed.
However, he was quite attentive during class.
Wen Jiu first had her look at the book briefly, and then began explaining the key points. The girl was quite smart and had a decent comprehension ability.
An hour later, she started complaining that she wanted to rest.
Wen Jiu agreed to let her rest for ten minutes.
She had just said she was taking a break when the girl started pestering her again to ask about someone.
"Is senior Zhou Yanchuan really that arrogant? Have you ever seen him fight? I heard he gets into fights quite often. Is he really as handsome as the rumors say?"
“He’s not arrogant, he just doesn’t like to talk to people, and he doesn’t fight often,” Wen Jiu carefully chose her words, “He might fight occasionally, as for him personally…”
She pursed her lips slightly: "He is quite handsome."
An Ning said "Oh," with an expectant look on her face: "I really want to see him."
"Your school starts in a few days, you'll have a chance."
"Hmm!" The girl nodded, then asked as if remembering something, "But senior..."
“Hmm,” Wen Jiu looked at her.
She asked softly, "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Wen Jiu's expression faltered slightly.
Anning looked at the girl who had suddenly fallen silent and felt that something was definitely wrong.
She's so beautiful and gentle, I'm sure many boys like her.
Wen Jiu gave a soft "hmm".
The little girl exclaimed joyfully, "Wow!"
He even asked her, "Is he handsome?"
Wen Jiu nodded.
"How does it compare to Zhou Yanchuan?"
"More or less."
"Is he that handsome?!"
Wen Jiu didn't answer, but simply said, "Ten minutes are up."
"..."
"Senior, you're such a spoilsport."
Wen Jiu smiled faintly: "Quickly open the book."

Two hours later, as Wen Jiu was packing up to go home, Jiang Jin stopped her, saying, "It's getting late, why don't you stay and have dinner with us?"
"No, thank you," she politely declined with a smile.
Seeing that the man's attitude was firm, Jiang Jin didn't insist that he stay for a meal, but instead told him, "Then be careful on your way."
"good."
Just as Wen Jiu pushed open the door to leave, she bumped into a boy.
She stopped in her tracks.
An Ning's voice rang out from behind: "Brother, what brings you here?"
“My parents just got back from their trip and asked me to bring you some gifts they brought back,” Anze said, his gaze never leaving the girl in front of him.
This is not...
Wen Jiu felt that the boy looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. Just as she was about to leave, she was suddenly called back.
Don't you remember me?
She stopped in her tracks, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
“I am Anze, a friend of Lu Jingci. We met during the competition training camp.”
A certain person seemed to appear in Wen Jiu's mind.
Seeing the girl's reaction, Anze knew she had remembered and was somewhat delighted and surprised: "What are you doing here?"
“She came to tutor me,” An Ning said, walking down the steps. “Brother, do you know her? And you just mentioned Brother Jing Ci, what happened to Brother Jing Ci?”
Anze naturally wouldn't say in front of Wen Jiu that this was the girl Jingci liked, so he casually replied, "From a previous training camp."
"I see," An Ning wanted to ask more, but Wen Jiu nodded slightly to the two of them: "Then I'll be going now."
"Okay, goodbye, senior."

After Wen Jiu left, An Ze immediately dialed Lu Jingci's number.
"Brother Ci, guess who I just saw?"
As expected, no one responded.
Anze was already used to it, and answered his own question: "The girl we met at the last training camp."
As soon as he finished speaking, the reply came immediately: "Wen Jiu?"
“Yes,” Anze explained, “She’s tutoring Ningning. I just saw it when I came over.”
Where are they?
"They're gone."
"Hey, do you want to come over..." Anze hadn't finished speaking when he heard a busy tone. He took the phone off his ear, looked at the screen, and realized that as soon as he heard that the person had left, they had hung up on him.
An Ning listened from the side, completely confused, but vaguely guessed something: "Brother, does Brother Jing Ci also know Senior Sister?"
“We know each other more than just each other,” Anze said, putting his phone away.
"What's the meaning?"
"Do you remember when we teased him about how someone like him could have a crush on someone?"
An Ning's heart tightened upon hearing this, and she obediently nodded, "Mm."
"He likes that senior student you just saw."
The girl's expression froze, unsure whether it was because Lu Jingci really had someone he secretly admired, or because the person he secretly admired was the girl from earlier. She murmured, "I thought you guys were joking."
"I thought it was a joke, but we both filled in the same university application."
"But my senior already has a boyfriend."
“He knows,” Anze replied quickly, not noticing the hurt in the girl’s eyes beside him, and added casually, “but he can’t help liking her.”

The next day, when Wen Jiu went to tutor the girl, she noticed that the girl's attitude had suddenly changed.
He was cold and didn't say a word.
She felt strange, but didn't ask. After finishing what she was supposed to do, she asked while packing her things, "Do you have any issues with me?"
An Ning paused in her action of picking up her phone, surprised by the girl's frankness and straightforwardness.
She didn't look at her: "No."
"Why would you deliberately cause trouble if you didn't?"
"Why would you deliberately cause trouble?"
"Throwing books, smashing pens, deliberately splashing water on me..." Wen Jiu looked at her: "Do you want me to continue?"
An Ning remained silent.
“If you don’t like me, or think there’s something wrong with me, you can just say so. I can also resign. You don’t need to do these things on purpose.”
"I'll talk to Aunt Jiang later."
Watching the girl turn and walk away after saying that, Anning felt a little regretful.
She liked Wen Jiu quite a bit and didn't really want her to resign.
But she was unhappy that Jingci liked her.
That's why I acted so childishly.
To everyone's surprise, the person didn't buy it at all. She looked gentle and kind, but she had such a strong attitude.
When Jiang Jin heard Wen Jiu say she was quitting, she was full of surprise: "Why?"
The girl caught her eye; she was beautiful, capable, and knew how to behave appropriately and politely.
Wen Jiu didn't explain why, only saying that it wasn't quite appropriate.
As she turned to leave, Anning ran out of the bedroom: "I'm sorry, I won't do that again."
Upon hearing her daughter's words, Jiang Jin knew there was a reason behind it, and that the reason lay with her daughter.
She immediately went over and took Anning's hand: "What did you do?"
