When Li Yiyi arrived at Zhao Zhiqing's door, she raised her hand to knock, but then hesitated.
Or should we let her hold on for a few more seconds?
Even a few seconds could taste like freedom. She loved freedom deeply, but behind the door lay the days of hardship that awaited her.
"Yi-Yi, you've arrived."
Before Li Yiyi could even take a few breaths of fresh air, the door opened from the inside, revealing Zhao Zhiqing's face, a face that was both respectable and hateful.
"Teacher Zhao."
When you're under someone else's roof, Li Yiyi has no choice but to bow her head; a polite smile is her last stand.
Wait, she doesn't need to smile anymore.
Seeing the person approaching from not far away, Li Yiyi felt both surprised and relieved.
"teacher."
The first person Zhou Gangshu saw was Zhao Zhiqing, followed by Li Yiyi. He disliked neither of them.
One is a hypocritical teacher, the other is the daughter of an enemy; both are enemies.
Li Yiyi: You're right, you're as pure and flawless as a white lotus flower.
"What are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Zhou Gangshu, Zhao Zhiqing's mind immediately conjured up the first storybook he had ever read.
Reborn, his mentor becomes a stepping stone—his name was something like that, Zhao Zhiqing couldn't quite remember—but he would never forget the plot.
He thought the second book was more suitable for Jiang's father, but in fact the first book was more suitable for him.
He didn't want to end up like the characters in the book. "You are a good person," that thought was deeply etched into Zhao Zhiqing's heart.
"teacher..."
His somber gaze, though seemingly devoid of emotion, stirred a subconscious concern in Zhao Zhiqing. This was his nature; his concern for a student was pure and unadulterated.
"Teacher, I've come to thank you, even though I..."
As he spoke, Zhou Gangshu lowered his head again, looking dejected, as if he had mentioned something he didn't want to talk about.
Li Yiyi commented that the strategy of feigning indifference to lure the enemy is suitable for both Zhou Gangshu and Li Fuyi.
Seeing a hint of softening in Zhao Zhiqing's eyes, Li Yiyi seemed to understand the exasperated look in Li Laoda's eyes when he sometimes saw her.
See? All that hard work training them, and they soften their hearts the moment they encounter the enemy.
That's roughly the feeling, Li Yiyi understood, and she decided that she must listen to her father from now on.
As expected, Zhou Gangshu and Li Fuyi entered Zhao Zhiqing's house and sat down.
"Teacher, I'm going to take the exam. Thank you for your careful guidance and care over the past few months. I'm sure I'll pass this time."
Upon hearing Zhou Gangshu's words, Zhao Zhiqing's heart softened considerably.
The story in the notebook is fabricated; perhaps reality is different. If Zhou Gangshu were heartless, he wouldn't have made a special trip to thank him.
It was a one-sided affair; Zhao Zhiqing tried to console himself, which made Li Yiyi grit her teeth in frustration.
It's rare to see someone so soft-hearted.
I've already given you hints, but you still soften your heart. Zhao Zhiqing, you're truly a soft-hearted god.
Sitting still, Li Yiyi didn't believe that Zhou Gangshu and Li Fuyi had come to Zhao Zhiqing's door merely to exchange some meaningless pleasantries.
If you weren't so petty, you could write her name backwards.
It's a first name, not a surname; it's still "一一" when reversed. Li Yiyi boasted without any hesitation.
"Brother Gangshu, I'm going..."
Li Fuyi leaned close to Zhou Gangshu's ear and said something rather shyly. Zhou Gangshu nodded affectionately and patted Li Fuyi's head.
It doesn't look imposing at all; on the contrary, it's quite strange, as if it's been rehearsed many times. At first glance, it looks real, but upon closer inspection, it's fake.
"Teacher, Fuyi is going to the restroom."
After greeting her, Li Fuyi blushed slightly and went to the back.
Oh, it seems to be explaining something.
Li Yiyi secretly followed Li Fuyi out and witnessed her slip into Zhao Zhiqing's bedroom as she passed by, heading to the bathroom.
He took out a well-packaged item from the inner pocket of his clothes and then stuffed it into Zhao Zhiqing's bookcase.
Among the neatly arranged books, a dark, shadowy object suddenly appeared, which Li Yi found very illogical.
Looking around, perhaps Li Fuyi had also considered this, she glanced nervously and warily at the living room area, and seeing that no one was coming,
Take down the things that were just placed, remove the black cloth covering them, and the contents inside are revealed.
It is a very high-quality notebook.
What could possibly make Li Fuyi and Zhou Gangshu spend so much money? It's something simple, right? Li Yiyi could answer without even guessing: it's not.
Li Fuyi and Zhou Gangshu left a very bad impression on her. In her memory, they both liked to freeload, and this was the first time she had seen them pay for something.
It's not easy, it's not easy at all. Zhao Zhiqing really has a lot of face.
Once everything was in order, Li Fuyi hurriedly came out. She knew she had wasted a lot of time; in her rush, she even bumped into the desk.
What was that sound?
There was a sound coming from the bedroom, but no one was inside. They had just been talking to Zhou Gangshu. Zhao Zhiqing wasn't sure if he had heard correctly.
"Teacher, you must have misheard me!"
With slightly sweaty palms, Zhou Gangshu, worried about Zhao Zhiqing, got up to check on him.
"Teacher, let's continue with the next question."
In order to bring down Zhao Zhiqing in one fell swoop, Zhou Gangshu strived for perfection in everything he did, and discussing exam questions with Zhao Zhiqing was part of Zhou Gangshu's plan.
Surprisingly, the person who became increasingly anxious during the discussion was him. After Zhao Zhiqing's explanation, Zhao Zhiqing realized that he had been using many of his methods incorrectly.
His initial enthusiasm gradually faded, and as Zhao Zhiqing explained the problem, Zhou Gangshu's resentful gaze was noticed.
Complaints may be late, but they will never be absent.
Zhou Gangshu thought that if Zhao Zhiqing hadn't been so stingy and hadn't chased him away but had instead devoted himself to tutoring him, perhaps he could have gotten a better score.
