"But, I do have something I want to discuss with the teacher." Xia Ruoming wiped her mouth, and her words brought Xiao Qinghan back to reality from his fantasy.

"I knew you had bad intentions. Tell me, what's the matter?" Xiao Qinghan held his forehead helplessly. He had just been dreaming sweet dreams for half a minute when he was pulled back by this unreliable student.

"I want to save you, teacher!"

"What?" Xiao Qinghan was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding what Xia Ruoming was saying at all.

"After graduation, I want to create a novel website called Tomato Novel Network, which can compete with the Chinese website Dianzhong."

"What does that have to do with saving me?"

"I would like to hire you, teacher, to be one of the chief editors of Tomato Novel Network. At the same time, you will also be the actual first manager of Tomato Novel Network. A million-dollar annual salary is in front of you." Xia Ruoming expressed her true thoughts.

“…”

After listening to this, Xiao Qinghan suddenly fell silent. Firstly, Xia Ruoming was only a high school student. How could she have so much money to start a platform that could compete with Zhongdian Chinese Network? Even if her family fully supported her, it would not be enough. Secondly, even if she really had so much money, why would she hire him?

"Where do you get so much money? Aren't you still a student?"

"We don't have that much money now, but we will have it soon after graduation. If it's salary money, you don't have to worry, teacher." Xia Ruoming looked at Xiao Qinghan with a smile.

"Why me? If you really have that much money and can find someone who is ten times better than me on other platforms, why do you choose me?" Xiao Qinghan asked his second question. Assuming Xia Ruoming really has so much money and can find a few mature and experienced people on other platforms who are much better than himself, why would she spend so much money to hire him?

"There are no more than a hundred people in this world who are more talented than you. Because of your parents' words, your youth and your future are trapped in this small space. Your soul is trapped in these shackles. Don't you think it's a pity?" Xia Ruoming said to Xiao Qinghan sincerely, and she almost dug out her heart to show that her heart was sincere and the world could bear witness to it.

In her previous life, many years later, Xia Ruoming read the mystery novels of Xiao Qinghan, who had already resigned: "The Secret Treasure of the Duke of Vera" and "The Great Detective Aoi: The Mystery of Morning Breeze Villa". She felt that no detective novels in the world could be compared with her teacher's works. However, Xiao Qinghan was no longer young at that time. Her best years had been buried in the path arranged for her by her parents. The girl who always smiled had also disappeared in her teaching career.

At that moment, the softest part of Xiao Qinghan's heart seemed to be hit, and mist rose in his eyes, blurring his vision.

"Why... would you know..."

"It may sound a bit conceited to say this, but I am the person who understands you best in this world full of stench and maggots. Teacher, you should not blame yourself for not being able to resist when you were young, but the parents who failed in their own lives but could only impose their own paths on their children, and this corrupt world that makes garbage only find spiritual comfort in their descendants."

"I want to save you, Teacher. I can leave the small campus that trapped you, Teacher, but I can't watch you being trapped in it forever, unable to get out."

"I want to save you, teacher, and I also want to borrow a helping hand from you. I want to take charge of the Internet world, and I need your strength, teacher. So, I not only want to help you, but also want to help myself."

Xiao Qinghan couldn't hold back any longer, tears burst out, and she couldn't stop them no matter what she did. Xia Ruoming was right, she was indeed the person who understood her best in this world.

Although she remained sunny at school and maintained a gentle and cheerful attitude towards students, as the years passed, she felt that her soul was slowly disappearing. She was trapped in the day more than ten years ago when her parents decided to arrange her entire life. Xiao Qinghan never blamed anyone for this. She only blamed herself for being too cowardly and too weak at the time.

At this moment, the girl who was seven or eight years younger than her reached out to her and said that she wanted to pull her out of the darkness and the past. She said that she should not blame her past self for not being able to resist fate, because those were not her fault in the first place.

She also said that she hoped she could lend her a helping hand.

There are many people in this world who are more useful than me. If I really just need help, would I need to pay such a high price to hire her? Impossible!

There is no one in this world who is nice to others for no reason. Xiao Qinghan didn't know what Xia Ruoming's feelings for her were, but at that moment, she, who had never been in a relationship and had even become a single, stubbornly believed that it was love.

At that moment, she made a decision in her heart. If Xia Ruoming was a sophomore in college and still liked her at the age of 20, then she would accept Xia Ruoming's feelings - the age at which women could get married had already reached the edge of the law.

As for moral values, go to hell! I have to be brave and accept my love!

"Okay, I promise you." Xia Ruoming wiped the tears from Xiao Qinghan who had stopped crying, and then Xiao Qinghan also replied to her softly.

Xia Ruoming stretched out her pinky finger and hooked it with Xiao Qinghan's pinky finger, then said to Xiao Qinghan: "Let's make a pinky promise for a hundred years and never change it. Sister Qinghan, you are not allowed to regret it."

"Go away, go away. You are so grown up, but you are still so childish. If those schoolmates who like you see you, they will laugh at you." Xiao Qinghan chuckled when she saw Xia Ruoming like this. Although she said that Xia Ruoming was childish, she did not loosen the little finger that was hooked on Xia Ruoming's hand.

Since the two of them were not sitting face to face, but on the same side, Xiao Qinghan opened a can of draft beer, leaned directly on Xia Ruoming's shoulder, and pointed at the starry sky outside the window.

"Venus, isn't it beautiful? Like a gem inlaid in the night sky."

"Yes. They are as bright as your eyes, Sister Qinghan." Xia Ruoming replied jokingly.

"You know, Venus in my horoscope symbolizes sensitive, delicate and selfless love." Xiao Qinghan closed his eyes and whispered in Xia Ruoming's ear.

"What?"

Before she could react to what Xiao Qinghan was saying, the next moment, Xiao Qinghan's cherry lips were already touching hers.

Xiao Qinghan, taking advantage of his drunkenness, kissed Xia Ruoming directly. Xia Ruoming had never known that Xiao Qinghan's kissing skills were so outrageous.

Obviously Xiao Qinghan had never been in a relationship, but she was kissed so deeply by Xiao Qinghan that her legs became weak.

After a long time, Xiao Qinghan reluctantly let go of her lips and continued to lean on Xia Ruoming's shoulder. The blush on her face was not sure whether it was due to drunkenness or shyness.

Xia Ruoming, who had just recovered from the shock, was still covering her burning cheeks and staring at the sky with a dazed look on her face.

What happened just now? My first kiss in this life was taken away by my teacher?

The development of this world line seems to be wrong?

And teacher, you kissed me forcefully while drunk, what about the car?
