Chapter 7, Chapter 7. Oh, so you brought your girlfriend back? ...
Fang Han blushed instantly upon hearing what the dormitory supervisor said.
His mind went blank, but his hearing became unusually sharp. He heard a door closing upstairs; Gao Wen was coming down.
"I'm her friend, and I was just stopping by the school to take a look," Fang Han explained, trying to appear calm.
The dorm supervisor, with her sharp eyes, glanced at him and, with a smile, revealed the truth: "You just graduated, right? Haven't you won anyone over yet?"
Fang Han: "......"
"Xiaowen is a beautiful girl, kind, hardworking and ambitious. She's wonderful. Every year on Qixi Festival and Christmas Eve, young men line up to give her gifts. So many people like her, and they're all very handsome."
As the dormitory supervisor spoke, she noticed Fang Han's slightly troubled expression, then changed the subject: "But you know, you and she actually look quite well-matched standing together. Good luck, young man!"
When Gao Wen arrived on the first floor, Fang Han, carrying his things, slowed down and walked towards the door.
She jogged up to catch up, and seeing Fang Han's upturned lips, asked, "What's making you so happy?"
Fang Han didn't suppress his smile; instead, he smiled broadly and glanced at the clear blue sky: "The weather is lovely today."
Gao Wen looked up and then returned her gaze to Fang Han. He walked into the sunlight, which shone on him, as if he were coated with a soft light.
She nodded with a bright smile: "Indeed."
The driver had already loaded the luggage into the car, and the two of them sat in the back seat. Taking it together would save them some money on the fare.
Gao Wen and the deliveryman agreed that after paying the platform's transportation fee, she would give the deliveryman an extra 100 yuan for handling.
When it came time to pay, the driver said that they had helped carry the load twice, and seventy yuan would be enough.
Gao Wen agreed, and when it came time to pay, she still gave him one hundred.
The master thanked him several times before leaving; for him, it was a pleasant job.
For Gao Wen, her money didn't come from thin air, but it was easier for her than for these people, without having to endure wind and sun. She studied hard, and her life was manageable.
Fang Han watched Gao Wen's actions with a faint smile in his eyes, then stepped forward and opened the door to the master bedroom.
"So clean?" Gao Wen looked at the clean and tidy master bedroom, except that the packages she had ordered were piled up in one corner.
Fang Han lied without changing his expression: "The room is in good condition, and it will be cleaned before check-out."
"That's great." Gao Wen started tidying up.
However, she was very busy on the weekend and didn't have time to tidy up properly. She had to rush out to class soon after.
"Wait, I'll go with you," Fang Han said.
Gao Wen: Are you going out to work too?
Fang Han: "I made an appointment with my colleague to go to the gym."
Gao Wen nodded. She remembered the last time she ran into him at the gym and casually asked, "The gym where we bumped into each other last time?"
"Yeah, they arranged to join a group purchase, and the price was very cheap, so I just signed up." Fang Han hadn't initially planned to sign up; he didn't really like crowded places like that. But after meeting Gao Wen there, he changed his mind.
During this period, Fang Han went to the gym very frequently and never ran into Gao Wen. It turned out that Gao Wen's class was on weekend afternoons.
Gao Wen was in a hurry and urged, "Let's go together."
"good."
......
In a rush, when Fang Han arrived at the gym, he found that the workout area and the class area were separate, and he thought they could go back together after class.
Gao Wen was busy packing her things. When she got to the door, she waved to Fang Han and said, "I have to go to yoga class. I won't be back until tonight. See you tonight, bye-bye."
"...Okay, bye-bye."
Fang Han gazed at that slender, delicate figure, then returned to the gym.
It's still early, he needs to practice more, since he just spaced out.

Gao Wen arrived at the yoga studio ten minutes before class.
"Good afternoon." Gao Wen greeted the receptionist with a smile, and the first thing she did upon entering was to take off the long gown she was wearing.
The receptionist forced a smile and replied, "Good afternoon."
You can't hit someone who's smiling. The receptionist had some complaints about Gao Wen, but she couldn't stand Gao Wen's good attitude, hard work, and she would even take the initiative to collect the mats and clean up after class, leaving no room for criticism.
The receptionist glanced at Gao Wen and suggested to Lin Siyue, who was consulting, "The teachers in the studio are currently unavailable for private trial classes. You'll have to wait at least half an hour. Why don't you take Teacher Wenwen's class? There's an opening."
"But it's not a private lesson, it's a small group class of five people. You can buy a discounted trial class to see how it goes."
Upon hearing that it wasn't a private lesson, Lin Siyue frowned and was about to refuse when her gaze inadvertently fell on the yoga teacher who was changing her shoes not far away. The teacher was wearing a light green short yoga outfit with a slender and graceful swan neck, a slender and bony back, and a sexy figure.
"Then, let's take her class." Lin Siyue was attracted by her figure, and the other woman's profile seemed familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before.
"Teacher Wenwen," the receptionist called out to Gao Wen, "Sister Zhang is stuck in traffic and can't make it, but a member is here for a trial class."
"Okay." Gao Wen put the shoes down and said to Lin Siyue with a friendly smile, "Come in, we have class soon."
"Mmm." Lin Siyue walked over quickly and secretly observed Gao Wen's figure up close, her eyes filled with admiration.
Lin Siyue is a junior in college. She went to her internship for half a month and didn't want to go back to that lousy job. She stayed at home every day, which her parents couldn't stand. Her brother allowed her not to work, but she had to find something to do and change her life.
On a whim, she came to the yoga studio, having heard that it could change her figure; after all, what girl doesn't want to become more beautiful?
Lin Siyue had never tried yoga before and wanted to find a private instructor for one-on-one service.
But she was attracted by the yoga teacher's figure and appearance.
Lin Siyue entered the classroom, where four people were already seated. She walked to the last yoga mat and observed them with some trepidation.
Gao Wen helped Lin Siyue place two yoga blocks on the mat and said softly, "Don't be nervous, sit down. This class is about shoulder and neck conditioning, it's quite simple." After she finished speaking, she took out her phone and said, "Before class, I want to take a picture so I can give you a comparison after class, is that okay?"
“Okay,” Lin Siyue had no objections; she also wanted to see the results.
After taking photos of Lin Siyue, Gao Wen returned to her mat and led everyone in meditation and breathing exercises. Listening to her melodious and gently guiding voice, Lin Siyue couldn't help but open her eyes, staring at the elegant, fair, and beautiful face in front of her; it felt so familiar.
Where have I seen this before?
After Gao Wen led everyone in warming up, they began practicing the postures.
"Now let's move on to the cat pose, sucking your stomach in as much as possible—"
"call--"
Gao Wen noticed that Lin Siyue was distracted and came down to help her correct her posture a few times.
As she approached again, Lin Siyue looked at that face and immediately remembered it.
It's her!
The company intern who's been clinging to her brother!
Gao Wen used to wear elaborate and heavy makeup every day, which made her look a bit glamorous. Now, she usually wears simple makeup or goes out without makeup, which makes her look more delicate and innocent.
If Lin Siyue remembered correctly, what lesser-known language did this intern study? These days, anyone can become a yoga teacher? Her initial positive impression of Gao Wen vanished, replaced by dissatisfaction.
What bad luck! She actually paid to attend her class!
"Everyone, put the stretch straps on your elbows and adjust your yoga blocks to the second height—" Gao Wen said, manually helping Lin Siyue put on the straps, setting up the yoga blocks for her, and then standing directly next to her to demonstrate.
The other four people focused their attention on Lin Siyue.
Seeing this, Lin Siyue was too embarrassed to make a scene, so she swallowed her rebuttal and let Gao Wen do as she pleased. What followed was the most difficult half hour for her.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch—" Lin Siyue lay face down, wincing in pain, and couldn't help but curse, "Are you even careful? What if I get hurt? It hurts so much—"
"Don't talk," Gao Wen reminded her. "Follow my force downwards, don't resist, imagine your armpits reaching for the floor, and a little further down."
Lin Siyue's shoulders were pressed down, and she broke out in a cold sweat, her features contorted in pain, her voice trembling as she cried out, "What are you doing?!"
Is this settling a personal score?
She could tell right away that this woman was a bad person! She was going to tell her brother to fire her and kick her out of the company!
“I promise you won’t get hurt,” Gao Wen said, raising her voice slightly and speaking with certainty. “Take a breath, put your chin on the ground, and interlock your fingers.”
Gao Wen's aura was so strong that it was hard to argue with her for some reason. Lin Siyue was already sweating profusely, gritting her teeth and reluctantly doing as she was told, only to be pressed down further down: "Ouch, ouch, ouch—"
"You did it, that's amazing," Gao Wen said, extending her index finger to gently tidy up the strands of Lin Siyue's hair that were obscuring her eyes. Her voice was calm and soothing. "This should be your first class, but you have excellent natural features, so you're easy to shape."
Lin Siyue was about to get up and yell at Gao Wen, filled with anger, when she was suddenly interrupted by Gao Wen's provocative actions. Her mind went blank. Who told her to touch her? She'd seen plenty of vixen women trying to seduce her brother!
The next second, Gao Wen praised Lin Siyue, and Lin Siyue's swaying body stopped instantly.
Is this woman trying to flatter her? She's so scheming! Humph!
"You did such a perfect job on your first try, that's really amazing." Zhang Ni looked at Lin Siyue, her words full of envy.
Lin Siyue's eyes flickered, and she looked a little smug as her mouth twitched in pain.
Really?
For the following poses, Gao Wen used Lin Siyue as an example. Lin Siyue was not entirely convinced by Gao Wen, but she eventually succumbed to her encouragement and praise.
She also wanted to see just how talented she was, and it would be best if someone could take pictures to document it.
After the class, Lin Siyue felt pain all over her body.
After class, Gao Wen took a comparison photo of Lin Siyue and asked her with a smile, "How does it feel?"
Lin Siyue recalled Gao Wen's expressionless and cold-blooded cruelty in class, and how she had been tortured by her for an entire class. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She wiped her sweat and stood up, "It hurts so much! You went too far!"
Just as Gao Wen was about to show Lin Siyue the before-and-after photos, Lin Siyue walked towards the door, saying, "I don't want to take your class. You definitely haven't studied much and you won't know how to teach."
When the receptionist saw that get out of class had ended, she tried to sell Lin Siyue her courses, but Lin Siyue scoffed, "I'm not taking her classes, I won't sign up!"
Don't even think about trying to please her!
Watching Lin Siyue storm back, the receptionist's face darkened as she looked at Gao Wen, her eyes filled with displeasure.

downstairs.
Lin Siyue got into the Mercedes parked on the side of the road.
"How's your training going?" Jiang Shuyan, sitting in the passenger seat, asked with concern as soon as Lin Siyue got into the car.
Lin Siyue originally wanted to complain, but after glancing at Lin Heng who was driving, she held back, "Not good at all, this teacher is no good, it hurts so much during practice!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Heng frowned, "Are you injured?"
“No, not at all,” Lin Siyue said, seeing that the others were also in pain, so it probably wasn’t an injury. She complained, “She definitely doesn’t know how to teach. How can you teach like that!”
Seeing that Lin Siyue's hair was damp with sweat and her face was flushed, Lin Heng said, "Exercise is bound to be tough; pain and sweating are unavoidable."
Lin Siyue pouted: "Brother, you don't understand anything, stop talking! That's not what it is at all!"
Lin Heng wanted to say something, but Jiang Shuyan stopped him, comforting Lin Siyue: "This industry is full of all sorts of people, just change the teacher next time."
"Um."
Upon arriving at the Lin family home, Jiang Shuyan and Lin Siyue got out of the car first. After Lin Heng drove the car to the garage, Lin Siyue walked up to Jiang Shuyan and said angrily, "Sister Shuyan, let me tell you, the yoga teacher today was actually an intern at my brother's company. Last time I went to the company, I even caught her seducing my brother!"
Jiang Shuyan's expression changed.
“How can someone like her be a yoga instructor? My God, what does she know? What if she harms people? I even suspect she’s deliberately targeting me!” Lin Siyue was angry when she thought of Gao Wen not going easy on her. Then she added, “However, my brother is very principled and would never pay attention to someone like that. Don’t worry, Sister Shuyan.”
Jiang Shuyan composed herself, sighed, and comforted Lin Siyue, "Probably not? But the quality of the teachers in this line of work is questionable. Next time, we'll just choose a different yoga studio and avoid her."
Jiang Shuyan didn't recall any trouble this intern had caused in the book.
It's just a minor incident; it won't affect the storyline.
Lin Siyue nodded: "Of course, how could I possibly go to her class! I'd avoid it like the plague!"
*
Because of Lin Siyue, Gao Wen was called in for a talk by the director after class. The director said that her attitude might be bad, that she did not provide adequate service to members, and that it affected the image of the library.
Gao Wen felt helpless but did not refute, her mood remaining completely calm.
She has her own teaching methods; she doesn't need to please everyone. As long as she has a clear conscience, that's enough.
Gao Wen packed her things and left work, replying to Fang Han's text message on her way.
He said he had just finished exercising and asked her to go back together.
Gao Wen readily agreed: 【Okay.】
The two agreed to meet at the entrance of the mall.
Gao Wen saw some people setting up stalls not far away and said to Fang Han, "Let's go over there and see what they're selling."
There are many stalls at night, making it very lively.
Gao Wen was in a good mood and even made an exception for herself by giving herself an ice cream. She asked Fang Han, "Senior, do you want one? It's on me."
"No, I don't like sweets," Fang Han shook his head and declined.
"Then I'll just have to enjoy it myself." Gao Wen swept the money.
She opened the lid, scooped out a spoonful, and put it in her mouth. It was so cold that she squinted slightly, and her shoulders trembled. But sweets can make people happy, and she ate one after another, her pretty face full of smiles.
Fang Han looked at her, raised his eyebrows and smiled slowly, unconsciously slowing his pace to follow beside her.
"It's delicious!" Gao Wen exclaimed, thoroughly satisfied.
"Little girl, would you like to buy some flowers?" The elderly woman selling flowers at her stall enthusiastically promoted them. "They're very cheap, four yuan a rose, three roses for ten yuan."
Gao Wen stopped in her tracks. She had a habit of buying flowers, as they could improve her mood.
She squatted down and carefully selected six roses, one sunflower, and some other flowers from the bucket. The older woman let Gao Wen choose wrapping paper and colorful ribbons, and also gave her a lot of baby's breath.
"Thirty yuan in total." The woman held out the QR code for payment to Fang Han.
Just as Fang Han was about to scan the code, Gao Wen blocked his phone, saying, "I'll do it myself."
"It's alright," Fang Han smiled.
"I'll do it," Gao Wen insisted, but the next second, she tragically discovered that her phone was dead. "..."
The flowers had already been trimmed and wrapped, and we had to buy them even if we couldn't pay. So in the end, Fang Han paid.
Holding the flowers, Gao Wen felt a strange unease.
How did it turn into Fang Han buying her flowers?
Returning to her rented room with these strange feelings, Gao Wen saw Fang Han opening the door and looking down at the flowers she was holding.
As soon as the door opened, a woman with dyed red hair, wearing a studded denim jacket and dressed in a trendy style, came out. Seeing Fang Han, Gao Wen, and the bouquet of flowers, she whistled and teased, "Oh, so you brought your girlfriend back?"
