Chen Tinghan pursed his lips and said, "Are you really not afraid that some foolish student will come and confess his love to you? That would be enough to make you suffer."
Shi Zirui didn't care and smiled, "Adolescent boys are full of passion, so it's inevitable. Just be more tolerant."
He didn't want to continue the topic, so he changed the subject: "What about your eldest daughter? It's rare for you to act alone."
"I came early, two hours ago. I'm a teacher, after all," Shi Zirui said. "I had to come ahead to scout the location, prepare, and set up. For a multi-school event, student safety is paramount. It's not like you students have it so easy. You just come here to eat and drink."
"Thank you for your hard work," Chen Tinghan thanked him without much sincerity. "But this is just right. She's not here, so it's convenient for us to talk. I have some questions for you. I wonder if you can answer them."
Shi Zirui showed an expression of astonishment and said, "Ask me anything you want. I'll tell you everything I know."
"I want to know when and how you and Wang Jinling met."
This question actually surprised Shi Zirui. In her opinion, Chen Tinghan would definitely ask her about her undercover work in the police station, or directly ask her about Cai Rongcheng.
She said, "You really want to know about the eldest lady?"
"Of course," Chen Tinghan said self-deprecatingly, "You see, I am hostile to her, but I am definitely the person in the world who wants to understand her the most."
"Then, let me ask you a question. Why do you want to know her?" Shi Zirui said, "In my opinion, your relationship is truly abnormal. It's both pathological and twisted, with lingering and entangled connections. This is something I've always been curious about, and she's definitely unwilling to tell me openly."
Chen Tinghan was silent for a moment after being questioned, then smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, what happened between us can be considered as a sin. I am not a messenger of justice who wants to eliminate all suffering in the world. Some evil things happened in some corners, and they happened. I can't see them.
It's just that some of the things she did involved my family and friends, and for me, that's a hurdle I can't get around."
"After all, I've already made up my mind to give my whole life to her. I'll repay her for whatever she's paid for me."
Shi Zirui pondered for a moment. It made little difference whether she said it or not. It was like scratching an itch through a shoe. It only made her more curious. So she smiled and said, "Let's make a deal. I'll initiate. It's a personal matter between us. I'll give you whatever I say in exchange."
