H City No.1 Middle School

"Sister Miao, you've been taking too many days off lately. What did you do yesterday?" Ji Sinian asked lazily, leaning on the table.

"I went to the capital." Shi Miao glanced at him, her pen twirling rapidly in her hand.

"Huh? The capital is my territory, you should have asked me to come with you." Ji Sinian muttered as he sat up.

"Calling you 'uncle' is not as good as calling you 'you'."

Ji Sinian: "..."

Lu Hansheng then turned around and asked, "I heard you're going to take Tsinghua University's independent admissions exam?"

Shi Miao said calmly, "Mm."

"I want to participate too. Can I go with you?" A hint of nervousness flashed in Lu Hansheng's eyes, afraid that Shi Miao would refuse.

Just as Shi Miao was about to refuse, Ji Sinian spoke up first, saying, "She'll come with me. I don't like traveling with people I don't know well."

Shi Miao raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. How come she didn't know about this?

"Shi Miao?" Lu Hansheng's face stiffened. He was unsure of the relationship between the two and looked at Shi Miao with confusion.

"Hmm, that's true. Sorry, you'd better go by yourself," Shi Miao said seriously.

“Okay…” Lu Hansheng lowered his eyelids in disappointment and turned away.

The bell rang, and Ji Yanchen walked in unhurriedly.

Shi Miao picked up a pen and wrote "[How come I didn't know you were coming with me?]" in the notebook before handing it to Ji Sinian.

Ji Sinian: [Of course I'll go cheer you on!]

Shi Miao: [You seem to be hostile towards Lu Hansheng.]

Ji Sinian: [I'm sacrificing myself to shield you from unwanted suitors, no need to thank me~]

Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly upon seeing this, unaware that Ji Yanchen had already walked up to her side.

"Confiscated." The man's voice suddenly came from above, and he reached out and took Shi Miao's notebook.

Shi Miao looked up and said casually, "Teacher Ji, I only have one notebook. What am I supposed to write in if you take it away?"

Ji Yanchen tapped lightly on Shi Miao's desk and said slowly, "I think with your grades, you shouldn't need to write it down."

Shi Miao casually tossed the pen onto the table, crossed her arms, and looked at the man.

Seeing this, the other students couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"Holy crap, I have a feeling that Teacher Ji is deliberately targeting Sister Miao."

"You just realized? I feel like Sister Miao is really unhappy with Teacher Ji, haha."

"I feel like Sister Miao is about to attack any second..."

"What kind of hellish scene is this...?"

...

"Come to my office after class." After saying this, Ji Yanchen returned to the podium and continued lecturing.

Upon hearing this, Lu Hansheng's eyes flickered slightly, and his fingers gripping the pen tightened.

"Damn, my uncle is such a jerk." Ji Sinian touched his cold neck and said in a low voice.

"Tsk, I've found it." Shi Miao lazily propped her head up, looking at the good-looking man on the podium.

After class, Shi Miao followed Ji Yanchen to his office.

Shi Miao sat on the sofa in a nonchalant manner, looked up at the man, and asked, "Give me back my notebook?"

"Heh." Ji Yanchen chuckled and handed her the notebook. "Aren't you going to explain what's going on with this Lu Hansheng?"

Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, reached out and took it, and then briefly explained her relationship with Lu Hansheng.

...

"Hmm, Si Nian did a good job." Ji Yanchen rarely showed approval after listening. He didn't expect this kid to be so sensible. It seems that he had been too strict with him before.

Shi Miao glanced at the time on her phone, stood up lazily, and said, "Let's go back."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanchen stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. The next second, he lowered his head, his thin lips slightly cool, and kissed the corner of her mouth. Shi Miao's eyes widened slightly; before she could react, the man had already released her.

Ji Yanchen turned around, picked up a stack of test papers from the table, handed them to her, and said with a smile, "Take these and distribute them to the class."

Shi Miao: "..."
