Chapter 367: Falling into the Trap



This is Zhao Xuehui's younger brother!

Although the two were not related by blood, both Zhou Changgui and Zhao Xuehui were obsessed with each other.

If he really did develop a relationship with Jiang Sheng, then trying to swindle Zhao Xuehui's things in the future would be a real headache...

While he was hesitating, Jiang Sheng seemed to have guessed what the other person was thinking. He had a faint smile on his face, but his tone was full of curiosity and doubt.

"By the way, Ms. Sun, I haven't seen Mr. Zhou lately. You two work at the same school, do you know what he's been up to lately?"

At this point, Jiang Sheng scratched his head and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"Actually, I also wanted to find Teacher Zhou and ask him some questions about poetry, but I've been too busy with my studies lately and haven't had time to contact him."

"Moreover, Teacher Zhou seems to have been quite busy lately. I haven't seen him visit my second sister in a long time, so I haven't had a chance to ask him any questions."

After saying this, Jiang Sheng smiled apologetically at Sun Chunli with a hint of regret on his face.

"I was just saying that. If it's inconvenient for you, Teacher Sun, then just pretend I didn't ask anything."

“It’s alright,” Sun Chunli shook her head at Jiang Sheng. “You’re just concerned about Teacher Zhou. Actually, he’s been busy writing lesson plans lately because the school’s monthly exams are coming up soon, so he’s been a bit short on time.”

“Oh, I see,” Jiang Sheng nodded, and smiled apologetically at Sun Chunli. “Since Teacher Zhou is busy, I’ll ask him for advice on poetry when he’s free after the monthly exams.”

After hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Sun Chunli subconsciously thought of Zhou Changgui's face.

Compared to Jiang Sheng, Zhou Changgui, while not particularly handsome, has fairly regular features, and his refined demeanor makes up for any shortcomings in his appearance.

Zhou Changgui was an English teacher at the school. He spoke slowly and softly, and his physique was also quite good.

But recently, for some reason, Zhou Changgui's figure seems to have gone out of shape, and compared to the youthful boy in front of him, he is still a bit lacking.

Moreover, lately he's been drinking and indulging in debauchery, and he's really becoming less and less like the gentle and refined Zhou Changgui he used to be.

"I didn't expect you to be such a good student who loves learning and knowledge."

Sun Chunli's eyes flickered slightly, and she began to praise Jiang Sheng.

"He's so handsome, so studious, and a top student at Peking University. I reckon there are quite a few girls in the school who like Jiang Sheng!"

Sun Chunli seemed to be praising Jiang Sheng, but in fact, she let out a very subtle sigh after saying the last sentence.

The sigh was almost inaudible; if you didn't listen carefully, you really wouldn't be able to hear it.

Jiang Sheng didn't think too much about it, and his face still wore a gentle and cheerful smile.

"Teacher Sun, what are you saying? I don't want to find a girlfriend so early. Besides, college students should focus on their studies. I don't want to ruin the reputation of girls. Normal dating is fine."

"and……"

Jiang Sheng changed the subject slightly, looking at Sun Chunli in front of him, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, but finally he said it anyway.

"And what I like even more is a girl who is a little older than me, like Teacher Sun. Such girls are mature and steady, which is also the type I admire very much."

After saying this, Jiang Sheng seemed to realize that he had said something wrong and quickly apologized to Sun Chunli.

"I'm sorry, Teacher Sun, I didn't mean it. Please pretend you didn't hear what I said. I really didn't mean to offend you. I'm so sorry, I truly..."

The further Jiang Sheng spoke, the more incoherent he became, and he could no longer speak fluently.

On the contrary, Sun Chunli, after her initial surprise, calmed down when she saw Jiang Sheng's face turn red with nervousness.

After calming down, she felt a surge of eagerness.

This is Zhao Xuehui's younger brother, and although what he said just now was somewhat subtle, the admiration and appreciation in Jiang Sheng's eyes couldn't fool her.

Could it be that this guy actually has feelings for her?

Putting everything else aside, if we could take advantage of today's opportunity...

If that happens, as long as the boy treats her wholeheartedly and his heart is with her, things will probably be much easier to handle in the future.

Zhao Xuehui's family is wealthy, and Jiang Sheng is a top university graduate.

If she can firmly grasp Jiang Sheng, she can also keep Zhou Changgui in check on the other side.

Once she has obtained everything she desires, she can then find a way to separate from Zhou Changgui and marry a promising college student. Wouldn't that be a natural progression?

The more Sun Chunli thought about it, the more feasible the plan seemed. Looking at the nervous and clueless young man in front of her, she simply stepped forward and boldly and earnestly took Jiang Sheng's hand.

"It's alright. Since Jiang Sheng has confided in me, it means he considers me one of his own."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll call you Little Jiang. You won't mind, will you?"

"No, it can't be..."

The moment Sun Chunli grabbed his hand, Jiang Sheng seemed startled and instinctively tried to pull his hand back.

Before he could pull his hand away, Sun Chunli gripped his hand tightly, looking at him intently with her eyes.

"Xiao Jiang, don't be nervous. Look how sweaty your palms are. Let's go to the bar over there and chat slowly. Just relax and treat your teacher as your friend."

Jiang Sheng nodded subconsciously, letting Sun Chunli hold his hand, and led him to a bar booth next to them.

Sun Chunli skillfully ordered two glasses of wine and handed one of them to Jiang Sheng.

"Xiao Jiang, I've heard your second sister praise you a lot before, saying that you're a good student and your academic performance is outstanding."

"I was hoping to get to know you, but we haven't met much since. Today is a good opportunity to see you in this setting. Although it was a bit of a surprise, I'm very happy to see you."

As she spoke, Sun Chunli extended her wine glass to Jiang Sheng.

"Come, let's drink to our meeting today!"

Jiang Sheng also extended his hand and subconsciously clinked glasses with Sun Chunli. He had a happy smile on his face, but also a bit of shyness. He clinked glasses with Sun Chunli a little awkwardly, then picked up his glass and drank a glass of wine.
