A pampered young lady from a wealthy family is reborn, choosing a rich wife over a rich man.

Meng Zhixue made the decision to drop out of school decisively.

The counselor tried to persuade her twice, and her roommates hugged her and cried all night, saying they couldn't bear to see her go and wondering who would bring them food in the future.

Meng Zhixue smiled and hugged everyone, promising to come back and have dinner with them when she had time, and then headed towards the path of "taking the college entrance examination again" without hesitation.

Mrs. Gu arranged for her to move into the Gu family home.

The Gu family villa is divided into a main building and an annex. Originally, Mrs. Gu arranged for her to have a room on the first floor of the main building. Although it was quite far from Gu Huailou's room, it was still in the same large space.

However, she requested to stay in the annex where the housekeeper and others lived.

Unbeknownst to Gu Huai, she and Gu Huai had officially become "classmates".

Gu Huai's surprise at this meeting was within her expectations.

She waved her hand: "Aren't you happy to be classmates?"

"..." Gu Huai snapped out of his daze, "Happy, happy!"

……

The following month.

During the day, Gu Huai goes to school for classes, and at night he goes home for tutoring.

Meng Zhixue was also arranged by Mrs. Gu to attend the same school's repeat class, and their schedules were almost identical.

The two classrooms were in different buildings, and they could occasionally catch a glimpse of each other from afar in the corridor during breaks, but not often.

Most of the time, the two of them wouldn't see each other at school; it's not that coincidental.

Back at the Gu family home in the evening, the two would have tutoring sessions together in the study.

The courses are structured in a rotating order, with Chinese, Math, and English classes running from 7:00 to 10:00, with a 15-minute break in between.

The schedule was quite full, but it was necessary for the two who had a weak foundation.

At first, Gu Huai was excited.

He couldn't hide his excitement; every night when he went into his study and saw Meng Zhixue sitting at her desk, head down, doing her homework, he felt energized.

He could listen to everything his tutor said, and his notes were neater than ever before. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe him as having "turned over a new leaf."

Meng Zhixue was like his catnip; one sip would make him feel happy, and two sips would make him feel like he was on top of the world.

Even when he gets distracted, Meng Zhixue taps on the table to remind him to pay attention, and he will perk up and refocus.

But after a month, Gu Huai gradually became a little depressed.

He felt like he'd been set up.

Previously, he could occasionally visit Meng Zhixue and spend some time with her in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

But now, he finds that whether at school or at home, he and Meng Zhixue are under surveillance and have almost no freedom.

School is not a place for romance. Not only would Meng Zhixue never agree to be ambiguous with him at school, but he himself would also think of her and not want her to be troubled by her own mother.

At home, although they studied together, they hardly had time to talk or chat.

Every day, we part ways after the tutoring session, with no personal time whatsoever.

He couldn't possibly do *that* in front of his tutor...

He also cares about his reputation.

Not to mention, Mrs. Gu would occasionally bring him fruit platters as a gesture of goodwill, and he was even less willing to act recklessly in front of his own mother, not wanting her to think that Meng Zhixue had "corrupted" him.

With so many people around, he had to suppress all his thoughts.

Forget about "kissing, hugging, and lifting up high," even the way you speak has to be very careful and serious.

Gu Huai: "..."

Gradually, his enthusiasm for studying, which had been driven by his romantic relationship, cooled down noticeably.

Although I haven't given up or resisted passively, and I go to school on time every day and complete the learning tasks assigned by my tutor, I'm just not as proactive as before.

His changes were noticed not only by Meng Zhixue, but also by Mrs. Gu.

That evening, after the tutoring session ended, Mrs. Gu called Meng Zhixue to the small reception room next to her study.

I closed the door and personally poured her a cup of herbal tea.

"Meng Zhixue..." Mrs. Gu sat down opposite her and said bluntly, "You should have noticed that Gu Huai's condition has been getting worse and worse lately."

Meng Zhixue took the teacup, said "thank you," and nodded.

Mrs. Gu sighed, "Even when he was a poor student before, he always had plenty of energy every day. These past few days, he's clearly listless, and he seems to be just going through the motions when he does his homework."

"I've observed him, and it seems he wants to get close to you, but he doesn't have many opportunities, so he's holding back."

Meng Zhixue paused, her hand holding the teacup still.

I almost choked on the tea I had in my mouth.

Mrs. Gu looked at her with a knowing look in her eyes, and subtly suggested, "When necessary, it's okay to go a little further..."

Meng Zhixue: "...?"

What is a necessary time?

What does "large scale" mean?

So... does Mrs. Gu mean that she should give Gu Huai a little "sweetness" to motivate him?

Meng Zhixue felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

In his second life, Gu Huai was already a college student and an adult. His wife could understand if he asked her to use her beauty to seduce and guide him.

But in this lifetime, Gu Huai is only 18 years old!

He didn't even graduate high school!

Even during the crucial senior year of high school!

Is it really okay to tempt him with sex...?

Meng Zhixue blinked, suddenly feeling a little flustered.

However, she wasn't particularly resistant to it.

After all, this is her fifth life together. She and Gu Huai have been lovers in two lifetimes. They've done more than just kissing, hugging, and lifting each other up; they've done even more exciting things.

She's not easily embarrassed, nor is she reserved.

Her only concern now is that Gu Huai is still young, and whether her "rewarding" him like this will lead him astray.

Mrs. Gu added, "Of course, you also need to be mindful of boundaries. Holding hands, hugging, even kissing and physical contact are fine, but you still need to hold back on that final step."

"I didn't mean anything by it. First, you're both too young for this. Second, as a girl, you need to take care of your body and learn to protect yourself, okay?"

Even if I ask you to, you can't do it.

Meng Zhixue looked at Mrs. Gu in surprise and nodded, "Yes, I know."

Mrs. Gu asked, "So you agreed?"

"..." Meng Zhixue nodded again, but she wasn't so sure. "I'll give it a try."
