Although he closed his eyes to rest for a while, Chen Lu would not take a nap.

Because he still had to wait to wake Liang Zhirou up.

It wasn't because such a beautiful, innocent-looking baby was sleeping so carefree next to me that I thought it would be a waste not to look.

Chen Lu nodded, having to admit he had been honest.

What defines a virtuous person?

As the time drew to a close, the cool breeze stopped, and the air became somewhat stuffy.

Chen Lu gently pinched the girl's soft cheek.

"Get up, I'll take you home," he said softly.

Liang Zhirou groggily got up, her cheeks still bearing the red marks from the pressure.

She first lowered her eyelids and stared blankly for a while, then rubbed her eyes.

It took a few more seconds for me to realize what was happening.

Seeing that Chen Lu was still looking at her, she quickly looked away, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Sit down and wake up. I was afraid someone would put you in a sack and kidnap you, so I didn't go to buy you water," Chen Lu said with a light laugh. "I'll take you there later."

After he finished speaking, he remembered that he had a class in the afternoon. He felt nervous for a second, then put it out of his mind.

If it's time to kick, then kick.

Surely no one goes through a third year of college without skipping a class, right?

Liang Zhirou quickly shook her head, "No, that won't do."

"Why?" Chen Lu asked curiously.

"You have class."

Chen Lu was taken aback. "How did you know?"

“You sent me your class schedule for this week…” Liang Zhirou looked at him earnestly.

Chen Lu shrugged and got off the stone table.

It seems that sending it won't be possible.

He stood beside the girl and slowly began to speak:

"Listen to me, take today's money and stop working. I'll help you find students who need tutoring."

Then we could team up as a male and female swindler... but that doesn't seem quite right either.

When the time comes, I will go and tell the parents I know who are anxious about their children, 'Your children are at the most critical stage.'

Then you can just become a tutor.

Chen Lu smiled sinisterly.

However, this can't really be called a lie. Chen Mo privately and seriously said that Liang Zhirou taught really well when she wasn't nervous.

Among my mother's colleagues, there are also those who are anxious to get their children tutored.

Liang Zhirou once again used the lowest price in the industry to undercut the competition, which can only be described as a win-win situation.

However, the price will definitely increase when the time comes. It's not like we can teach Chen Mo for 200 yuan an hour and then teach others for 200 yuan an hour, right?

Thinking of this, Chen Lu poked Liang Zhirou's cheek again, somewhat angrily.

"Teacher Liang, I hope you can keep telling yourself that tutoring for an hour can earn you the money you would earn in a whole day from other part-time jobs, is that okay?"

Liang Zhirou gave a soft "Oh," sounding somewhat unsure of herself.

She had actually applied for tutoring jobs in the past two days, but was politely rejected by all of them.

It was only at this moment that she fully realized that Chen Mo was extremely cooperative with her.

They also discovered how much Chen Lu had worked tirelessly behind the scenes for this part-time job; otherwise, there would be no reason why his parents and Chen Mo would have so easily accepted it...

The same rigorous assessments as those conducted by other parents are the norm; they ask questions as if they were checking someone's household registration.

Just as Liang Zhirou was pondering with some frustration, Chen Lu suddenly patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't be nervous. I won't hire parents or children with questionable character. At most, you'll have only a tiny bit more trouble than when you were teaching Chen Mo. I promise, just a tiny bit. Don't worry."

Or... if you don't like this kind of social job, you can tell me.

I support you.

Liang Zhirou nodded slightly and said softly, "Thank you... I don't dislike it."

Chen Lu's words warmed her heart. If she hadn't noticed that Chen Lu was watching her, she would have turned her face away and taken a deep breath.

Please don't say things that make people feel suffocated all the time...

"Thank you is worthless. Shouldn't you repay me?" Chen Lu said irritably, thinking to himself, "I didn't come here to hear your thanks."

"How...how can I repay you?" The girl looked up at him, revealing a large expanse of her fair and smooth neck and the gap in the neckline of her T-shirt.

It was still a little sweaty, probably because I had been sleeping face down.

Chen Lu withdrew his gaze, which was anything but gentlemanly, and looked directly into the girl's questioning eyes.

"Then give me a smile."

"Smile?" Liang Zhirou tilted her head slightly, even more confused.

He helped me so much, and all he wanted in return was a smile from me?

“Yes, I told you, I’ve never seen you smile.” Chen Lu’s expression became very serious.

Liang Zhirou took a deep breath and looked at Chen Lu.

Then, she slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

"..." Chen Lu sighed, "It's too stiff, it scares me to watch."

"Maybe that moment of happiness for you has already passed. Try again next time you're happy."

Liang Zhirou picked up her phone and looked at herself.

Something seems a little strange...

At this moment, Chen Lu asked again, "Are you feeling alright? You don't look too good all day."

"No."

Chen Lu looked at the girl's nervous expression as she clenched her fingers with her head down and sighed helplessly.

......

After Liang Zhirou went to her part-time job, Chen Lu obediently returned to the classroom.

"Theory and Practice of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for College Students"

That's all for this lesson.

Chen Lu had heard that most schools offered this kind of course, but some said they didn't, and he wasn't sure.
