Just as I was about to press send, Jiang Tingyan sent another message.

He said, "Don't wait for me to go next door to get you."

Qiao Manman angrily raised her phone, ready to smash it on the ground.

Jiang Tingyan sent another message: [Smashing your phone won't help.]

Qiao Manman suddenly turned her head to look around, scanning the room to see if there were any cameras installed.

How can this guy predict even what she's doing?

Qiao Manman decided to go all the way and refused to go to the study to find Jiang Tingyan no matter what.

She quickly crawled into bed, and just as she opened the game, another message from Jiang Tingyan came in.

Jiang Tingyan: [If you want to continue completing assignments at a high intensity next week, you don't have to come out.]

Upon seeing this message, Qiao Manman quickly threw off the covers, grabbed a coat and her laptop, and rushed to the study.

In the study, Jiang Tingyan was brewing coffee, standing with his back to Qiao Manman.

His phone was right next to the coffee, its screen still lit.

Qiao Manman slammed the door shut, panting, "Jiang Tingyan, how can you be a mentor like this!"

Jiang Tingyan placed the two cups of coffee he had just brewed on the desk: "Try them."

Qiao Manman strode to the desk, picked up the glass, and took a sip.

The temperature is just right, neither too cold nor too hot.

The rich aroma of coffee spreads between the lips and teeth, along with a faint scent of jasmine and milk.

Qiao Manman looked at the other cup again; it was dark and clearly pure coffee.

She licked her lips and looked at Jiang Tingyan, asking, "How did you make this coffee? It tastes better than the ones sold outside."

Jiang Tingyan walked to a chair and sat down, tapping the table with his finger.

Without answering Qiao Manman's question, he went straight to the point: "Take out your computer."

Qiao Manman pursed her lips.

It's like talking to a brick wall. If she's not going to answer, she's not going to care!

Qiao Manman took out her computer, opened the document, and then turned the computer around to present her reading notes to Jiang Tingyan.

Jiang Tingyan's expression darkened noticeably after reading only two lines of text.

Qiao Manman was drinking her coffee when she saw Jiang Tingyan's expression, and her face froze.

"W-what happened...?"

Jiang Tingyan stared at the computer screen and read aloud Qiao Manman's book review in a cold voice.

"Today I read a book recommended by Professor Jiang. The book has 249 pages and 20 chapters. It's not that I'm being insensitive, but this book is really not suitable for publication. It's obscure, the writing is stiff, it's hard to absorb, and it's easy to fall asleep while reading it."

Hearing what Jiang Tingyan said, Qiao Manman nodded in agreement.

"I wrote it, that's right."

Jiang Tingyan's eyebrows twitched noticeably: "I remember I asked you to write a reading report, not a comment."

"This is a book review!" Qiao Manman protested. "You didn't say book reviews can't contain self-judgment!"

Jiang Tingyan's face was as ugly as it could possibly be.

Looking further down, it's simply unbearable to look at!

Even when his name was mentioned in the book review and suggestions were made for him to publish a book, his expression did not soften in the slightest.

This was the first time Qiao Manman had ever seen Jiang Tingyan display so many different expressions.

From gloom to speechlessness, then to anger and helplessness.

While observing Jiang Tingyan's expression, Qiao Manman's heart was also on a rollercoaster.

She was afraid that Jiang Tingyan would grab her computer and throw it at her head.

Yes.

She admitted that her writing was a mess.

But she was just stating the facts!

If you really can't concentrate on reading or write, you can't blame her...

Even if the original owner was born to study, now that the soul is her own, isn't she allowed to be ordinary?

"Delete it, rewrite it all."

Jiang Tingyan said sternly, "You are not allowed to go anywhere for the next two days. Every day after you wake up, come to the study, and I will teach you to write word by word!"

Qiao Manman's eyes widened instantly: "No way! I'm having barbecue with Liang Qi tomorrow at noon!"

Jiang Tingyan deleted all of his reading notes.

"I won't deprive you of your right to eat with your classmates. You're free for two hours at noon, but you must stay by my side and do your homework for the rest of the time."

After he finished speaking, he turned the computer back, and a blank document came into Qiao Manman's view.

"Why did you delete all of mine?!"

Qiao Manman shouted angrily, "That's something I worked hard on for several days!"

Jiang Tingyan took out the prepared book: "Trash things shouldn't be kept."

"You're the trash!"

Qiao Manman couldn't help but retort: ​​"So what if you can write a book review? That's all that matters."

"Jiang Tingyan, can't you respect other people's hard work? Did you ask for my permission before deleting my stuff?!"

After saying that, Qiao Manman downed the coffee in one gulp and slammed the cup down on the desk.

"Just like me, I respect your hard work!"

After saying that, Qiao Manman suddenly stood up and stormed out of the study.

As soon as she closed the study door, Qiao Manman couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

She rushed back to her room, closed the door, slipped on her slippers, and got into bed in one swift motion.

I found a perfect excuse that I could not find fault with and went back to sleep!

She's a genius!

Qiao Manman excitedly sent Zhu Liangqi a message: 【Liangqi, don't forget the barbecue tomorrow at noon! I'll pick you up early, and you need to be back early to do your homework.】

Zhu Liangqi, who was curled up in a ball, felt her phone vibrate and then took it out to take a look.

She almost forgot that she was going to have dinner with Manman tomorrow.

Just as he was about to respond, Zhu Liangqi suddenly looked up at the front door.

If she goes out again tomorrow, I'm afraid she'll suffer the same fate as tonight.

Zhu Liangqi suppressed the stinging sensation in her nose and rejected Qiao Manman.

Sorry, Manman, I have to cancel our appointment. We have guests at home tomorrow, and I can't get away right away.

Qiao Manman was inevitably disappointed when she saw the news.

After a busy week, I was finally able to eat something good, but Liang Qi couldn't get out.

Qiao Manman had no choice but to reply with "ok" before putting her phone down.

However, at this moment, in the study...

Jiang Tingyan stared at the empty coffee cup opposite him, and the computer that Qiao Manman hadn't taken away.

He sat quietly for a long time before turning the computer back.

Relying on his memory of having read the book before, he started typing on the keyboard and began writing a review for Qiao Manman.

-

Qiao Manman slept undisturbed until 10:30 a.m.

Seeing that it was almost noon and Jiang Tingyan hadn't come to wake her, Qiao Manman got up out of curiosity, washed up, and went to the study.

The study door was ajar. Qiao Manman gently pushed it open, but did not find Jiang Tingyan inside.

She turned around and glanced at Jiang Tingyan's door. Seeing that there was no movement, she walked into the study.

After sitting down in the chair, Qiao Manman turned on the computer.

As soon as the screen lit up, Qiao Manman saw a document filled with text.
