Lin Su was unlucky enough to be chosen by the English teacher for her next English class.

She could already read fluently, but when she stood up, she was too timid and still read a bit haltingly.

After finally finishing reading a passage from the textbook, her face was already flushed with shame, and the teacher waved for her to sit down.

Lin Su sat down with her head down and didn't dare to look up for the entire class.

When get out of class ended, she waited until all her classmates had left before slowly standing up. Just as she put her backpack on, she suddenly felt someone tugging at the strap of her backpack from behind.

She turned around and saw a beautiful face very close to hers.

Sheng Qiming stared at her for the entire class period. She could only read the text with difficulty and stumbled over it, even turning red in the face. She was utterly pathetic.

She's not pretty and doesn't act with confidence; I really can't see any redeeming qualities in her.

"Are you stupid? You can't even read a text properly." Sheng Qiming originally wanted to scold her for being stupid, but he was worried that he would make her cry and she would complain to him, so he could only be more tactful.

Lin Su took a few steps back, creating some distance between herself and him, before saying, "I can read."

Sheng Qiming was amazed that she still dared to reject him; he hadn't even thought she was ugly yet.

He closed the distance between them again, his face darkening, and glared at her. "You scheming woman, didn't you deliberately pull Zong Yan away last time?"

Lin Su's eyelashes fluttered, then she stepped back. "I didn't."

Sheng Qiming snorted coldly and took two steps to close the distance. She had nowhere left to retreat, and she looked up at him helplessly. "Could you... could you please not get so close to me?"

Lin Su was a little afraid of him. Although he was very handsome, he seemed to have a bad temper.

"I'm so good-looking, it's your good fortune that I'm willing to get closer to you." The more she tried to stop him from getting closer, the closer Sheng Qiming moved to.

He doesn't feel like he's been taken advantage of yet.

"Tell me, what exactly does Zongyan like about you?" He stared at her, as if trying to bore a hole through her face.

Lin Su shrank her neck and said, "I don't know, you should ask him."

Sheng Qiming asked, then was disgusted by the sweet expression on Zong Yan's face.

He said: When love comes, you can't stop it.

Sheng Qiming asked for nothing and even felt disgusted.

"Could you introduce yourself to me? What are your strengths?" Otherwise, he really won't be able to sleep tonight.

"I..." Lin Su said slowly, "I don't have many strengths."

"Wrong! You have one," Sheng Qiming said. "You're quite self-aware."

Lin Su: "..."

"Okay." She nodded. "Can I go now?"

"No way." Sheng Qiming hadn't observed the situation properly yet. "Let's have a meal together, it's on me."

Lin Su had no choice but to go with him.

Arriving at a small private restaurant, Sheng Qiming ordered many light and healthy dishes. For the sake of his face, he rarely ate oily or spicy food.

"Eat up," he said, waving his hand as the food was served.

Lin Su silently ate his meal, hoping that his curiosity would be gone by the end.

Even if he was curious, he should have gone to Zong Yan.

"Is it delicious? It's better than what you make, isn't it?" Sheng Qiming asked.

"It's delicious." Lin Su thought for a moment and explained softly, "The meal you had when you came to my house last time wasn't cooked by me, it was cooked by our housekeeper."

"Heh." Sheng Qiming sneered, "Then you really have no redeeming qualities at all."

Lin Su nodded in agreement, so there was no need to be curious about her anymore.

"So how did you manage to hook up with Zong Yan?" Sheng Qiming looked at her, and suddenly remembered the way Zong Yan looked after coming out of the bedroom that day. His eyes showed a strange look for a moment.

Could it be that she uses those low-class bedroom tricks?

The more Sheng Qiming thought about it, the more he felt he had figured it out, and his gaze became even stranger.

Is Zong Yan really that vulgar?

Or perhaps he was so overwhelmed with pleasure that he couldn't distinguish between beauty and ugliness.

"I didn't flirt with him," Lin Su whispered in her defense; she certainly didn't have the guts.

"How long have you known each other before you slept together?"

Lin Su's eyes widened in disbelief; she couldn't believe someone was asking her such a question to her face. She bit her lip, her face turning completely red.

Sheng Qiming thought her shame stemmed from a guilty conscience.

"Afraid to say it?" He scoffed. "You used these dirty tricks to seduce him, didn't you?"

Lin Su bit her lip. She and Zong Yan had indeed slept together right after confirming their relationship, but before that, they had always been innocent.

"I don't."

"You think you can just say you don't have it?" Sheng Qiming pressed aggressively. "I knew it! You're average-looking and have an average figure, so you resort to such despicable methods!"

Lin Su's eyes instantly turned red. She covered her face, grabbed her bag, and ran away hastily.

She ran quickly out the door, hailed a taxi on the side of the road, and left.

Sheng Qiming was stunned for a moment. He couldn't catch up with her. He stared anxiously at the taxi, not because he was worried that she was crying, but because he was worried that she would complain to him.

Lin Su wouldn't complain because she didn't cry.

She had heard those words many times before, ever since she started dating Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was Lin Su's ex-boyfriend and her first love.

He was a very good person; he only started dating her because he felt sorry for her, just to better protect her.

After meeting Zong Yan, Lin Su broke up with him, which freed him from having to take care of her in every way.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of Shuijun Bay. Lin Su got out of the car and went home. Her eyes were no longer red. She went to the study to read for a while and did a few reading comprehension exercises. Then her tutor arrived.

After the tutor left, Zongyan also came home from get off work.

He ate out, and after returning home, he went straight to the bathroom to take a shower. After showering, he tied a thin towel around his neck and went to the study to find his girlfriend.

Lin Su was still working on her English test when Zong Yan hugged her from behind. "Studying so hard, baby. Your boyfriend is back."

"I have one more question to answer..." Lin Su turned around to talk to him, but was immediately kissed by him while his chin was pinched, and a warm hand slipped into her pajamas without any hesitation.

"Zong Yan..." Lin Su wanted to refuse, but was powerless to do so.

But her neck was really sore from this position...

Lin Su finally finished her question, her hands trembling as Zong Yan watched her complete it.

After finishing the questions, Zongyan carried her back to the bedroom and took another shower.

By the time it was over, she was so tired she was almost asleep, but she still forced herself to speak, "Zong Yan, your friend, he..."

"Who? Sheng Qiming? Did he come to see you?" Zong Yan was squinting, enjoying the afterglow of the moment, when he heard this, he frowned.

"He insisted on treating me to lunch today," Lin Su said. "Could you tell him not to treat me to lunch?"

As for what he said, Lin Su didn't say it; she didn't intend to ruin the relationship between the brothers.

All she wanted was to have a simple relationship with Zongyan, finish university, and then find a decent job.

As for Zongyan's persistent desire to marry her, she knew it wouldn't end well.

However, she can accept whatever the outcome.
