The little furball rested its chin on its hand, looking quite resentful: "We've all been doing our homework properly under your supervision, so shouldn't you set a good example too?"
"Yeah, Daddy, who were you chatting with so happily?" Huaihuai pouted and asked cutely.
Geng Geng even changed her form of address: "President Fu, this is your office, please take it seriously."
"Nothing is more important than my wife." Fu Yunchen narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "Who said that, hmm?"
The three little ones: "..."
This is blatant showing off!!!
They want to chat with Mommy too! This domineering dad only cares about his own happiness and doesn't care about their lives at all.
They even unintentionally showed off their love, it's too much, sob sob.
...
Yi Tianran went to the restroom to cover up the strawberry mark with foundation.
It's fortunate that Xu Zhe has no experience in matters of the heart and doesn't know what this is, otherwise he would have been in real trouble.
When she returned to the classroom, she saw Xu Zhe place a thick booklet on her desk.
"What's this?"
Upon seeing her return, Xu Zhe stiffened and subconsciously lowered his voice: "My notes."
"Hmm?" Yi Tianran curiously flipped through it and found that it contained detailed records of the key points of each professional course. It was well-organized and had a clear structure, making it the kind of "foolproof" tutorial that any college student with a bit of intelligence could understand.
Xu Zhe seemed to be particularly mindful of her self-esteem, and said cautiously, "This is something I spent all night compiling specifically for you. It will help improve your studies... You don't need to feel guilty. It's not shameful to not do well in your studies. As long as you are willing to put in the effort, you will reap the rewards."
Yi Tianran: "..."
She, who holds two Ivy League degrees, has actually fallen to this state.
Are you teaching me how to do things?
She actually really wanted to be this arrogant just once.
But ultimately, considering his public persona, he chuckled awkwardly and said, "Actually, it doesn't have to be so complicated..."
She wasn't there to study seriously, and she certainly wasn't trying to cultivate a "top student" persona. So, she always planned ahead for each exam, deliberately aiming for a mediocre score—neither high nor low—so as not to attract attention.
“It’s no trouble at all. I’m willing to do anything that’s good for you.” Xu Zhe’s cheeks flushed red, as if he had suddenly unlocked his full potential, and he could easily come up with nice words.
"Wow!" All the students covered their cheeks, looking like they had bumped into something.
Yi Tianran: "..."
Goodness, it seems that if she doesn't take a firm stance, the situation will only get worse!
Let's take this opportunity to nip his idea in the bud!
Thinking of this, Yi Tianran deliberately put on the face of a scumbag woman and said arrogantly, "What makes you think that doing what's best for me is really doing what's best for me?"
To tell you the truth, I just don't like studying. I'm a natural-born academic failure. After graduation, I just plan to coast along and wait to die. Anyway, my dad is a nouveau riche, and the family's assets are enough for me to live off him.
My values are incompatible with those of a high-achieving, ambitious student like you, so don't waste your energy preparing these things for me.
She seemed to have been holding back for a long time before finally speaking her mind, causing all the students to gasp in unison, their gazes filled with complex emotions.
They were probably all cursing her in their hearts for being ungrateful.
However, Yi Tianran didn't care, since she hadn't come here to make friends anyway.
Xu Zhe was taken aback by her retort, and he slumped his head, looking like a pitiful little puppy.
Although she was endearing, fortunately, Yi Tianran had already seen even more adorable men, so she wouldn't easily soften her heart.
I thought this time, I had finally managed to persuade him to quit.
Unexpectedly, he paused for two seconds in frustration, then quickly changed the subject, "I'm sorry, I was too arrogant. You are you. It doesn't matter if you get a zero. Studying isn't important. If you want to just coast along, then I'll make more money to support you."
Yi Tianran: "..."
All students: "..."
A female classmate recalled confessing her feelings to Xu Zhe, only to be met with his blunt reply: "Your grades are too bad. I don't like dating idiots; it would lower my standards."
At that moment, she was absolutely overwhelmed by the sourness of lemons.
Ultimately, she was not worthy.
Yi Tianran deliberately nitpicked, "Zero points? Do you think I'm an idiot?"
"No, what I meant was that these days, love stories between top students and underachievers are quite popular." Xu Zhe confessed his feelings to her in various ways.
Yi Tianran: "..."
She was almost laughing in anger.
She said coldly, "No, that only exists in idol dramas. Underachievers don't deserve to be in love; they'll only wallow in self-pity."
Most students were speechless and felt offended.
"As long as there are top students around, they'll hold her back and prevent her from falling into the abyss," Xu Zhe said confidently. "I promise you, I won't let you down."
Yi Tianran: "..." Please spare me, little brother. I'm not Fu Yunchen. I don't have a penchant for dating younger men!
Over the next few days, Xu Zhe began to employ various tactics and strategies in his pursuit, demonstrating his remarkable ability to be persistent.
Forced to retreat to Liu Meiling's infirmary, Yi Tianran complained to her friend about her "tragic experience."
"Hahahaha..." Unexpectedly, instead of feeling sorry for her, she laughed until tears almost came out. "They say even the most virtuous woman can be swayed by a persistent suitor, and that saying is perfectly reflected in you."
Yi Tianran: "Could you be any more gloating?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Liu Meiling wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, forcing back a laugh, "I just think, isn't this kind of puppy-like approach cute? Hahaha..."
Yi Tianran's lips curled into a fake smile: "If I had known he was this kind of person, I shouldn't have gotten close to him in the first place."
"You approached him in the first place because you liked him, didn't you?" Liu Meiling finally realized. "Now that this sincere affection is in front of you, you must learn to cherish it. Don't wait until you lose it to regret it. There is nothing more painful in this world than that..."
"..." Yi Tianran sighed helplessly, "Do you think I'm acting out a scene from 'The Great XX Tour' with him?!"
Liu Meiling was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to react so quickly.
This movie was her favorite when she was a child, and she watched it more than ten times.
I never expected that they were not even the same age group, yet they knew each other so well and had such a great understanding of each other, like longtime best friends.
She had some doubts in her heart, but she kept them hidden.
"Alright, don't worry about it. Teenage boys and girls just fall in love all the time. Maybe it will fade away after a while," Liu Meiling comforted her.
"I hope so!" Yi Tianran couldn't even imagine what would happen if Fu Yunchen found out about this; he would be green with envy!
