"Teacher Hai... what are you doing here?" Li Xiaotong came out of the bedroom and looked up to see the white figure standing in the room. Her expression changed several times before she went forward to greet him. "Xiaotong, is this your teacher?" Li Jia understood the situation.
"Yes, I am Hai Mingyue, Li Xiaotong's homeroom teacher. Thank you for your help earlier." Hai Mingyue extended her hand generously, smiling as she waited for Li Jia to shake her hand.
"Hello, I'm Li Xiaotong's... Big Brother, it's a pleasure to meet you." Li Jia extended his hand and grasped Hai Mingyue's soft, boneless hand, giving himself an identity that wasn't entirely fake.
"You're not her biological brother, are you?" Hai Mingyue asked uncertainly after hearing Li Jia's words.
"No...no, I'm just her...adopted brother, but it's all the same. If there's anything you need my help with in the future, I'll definitely do my best." Li Jia felt somewhat relieved seeing that Li Xiaotong and the others beside her hadn't exposed her or said anything.
“Okay, I will. Now I want to talk to Li Xiaotong alone. Can you give me five minutes?” Hai Mingyue said, turning to look at Li Xiaotong standing in front of her.
Li Xiaotong looked at Li Jia and Jiang Ling, nodded after a moment's thought, and then the two of them turned and went into the bedroom.
Right on time, five minutes later, the two came out. Li Xiaotong was expressionless, while Hai Mingyue frowned slightly as she approached Li Jia and said, "How could you act like that? Li Xiaotong is about to take the college entrance exam, don't you know that? And you still made her do that kind of thing?"
Hai Mingyue looked very angry. Li Jia didn't feel even the slightest dissatisfaction from the female teacher who was angry with her for the first time. She just listened to Hai Mingyue's criticism with a smile, and then bowed her head to apologize to Hai Mingyue and Li Xiaotong.
"Alright, I hope you can understand Li Xiaotong. She's still a student. Although her grades aren't good right now, she is indeed very smart. She just hasn't focused on her studies yet. She shouldn't participate in today's event. I'll tutor her at home!" Hai Mingyue said, pulling Li Xiaotong into the bedroom.
Li Jia noticed that the three people in front of her were staring at her, their eyes seemingly asking, "Did you offend this beautiful teacher?"
"Alright! Today's task is canceled, but the payment will still be made!" Li Jia said, reaching for his money. "No need, Brother Li! We can't accept your money!" Li Xiaoqing quickly said.
Li Jia thought for a moment, looked at everyone, and said, "Alright, I'll go back first. Call me if you need anything!" Then she turned around, opened the door, and walked out.
Just as Li Jia was about to get into the car, Jiang Ling chased after her, saying, "Li Jia, wait a minute, I need to talk to you!"
Li Jia turned around and saw that Jiang Ling's expression was solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy.
