You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

7 PM.

Lu Ci arrived at the "Peninsula Melody" studio on the commercial street on time.

While checking in at the front desk, he glanced at the course schedule on the wall and learned the real name of the excessively beautiful guitar teacher.

Qin Meng.

The rented guitar was in pretty good condition. Lu Ci walked into classroom number two and, as always, chose to sit in the most inconspicuous corner of the last row.

Not long after, Qin Meng pushed open the door and walked onto the podium on time.

Unlike yesterday's figure-hugging short-sleeved shirt, she wore a high-quality off-white loose-fitting French silk shirt today, paired with khaki high-waisted wide-leg trousers.

This slightly lazy and casual outfit did not conceal her stunning curves. On the contrary, the good drape of the silk fabric created a subtle and alluring silhouette on her chest as she picked up the guitar.

With her cool and alluring face and the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, she perfectly embodies the "effortless yet sophisticated sexiness."

Class begins.

Lu Ci's greatest strength is that once he decides to do something, he becomes extremely focused and serious.

This is why Shen Man used to have a fortune of hundreds of millions, while he could only run a small milk tea shop, yet he never complained and was even able to manage the shop very well.

Having already spent over a thousand yuan and carrying out the system's mission, Lu Ci wasn't going to slack off.

Qin Meng's lectures are indeed very effective; she explains music theory and fingering techniques in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

For more than an hour, Lu Ci didn't even glance at his phone. His eyes were glued to the demonstration on the podium, and he was also focused on his fingers and the strings, practicing the tedious chord changes over and over again.

After class, unsurprisingly, the swarm of admirers once again completely surrounded the podium.

While brushing off those clumsy attempts at conversation, Qin Meng casually raised her eyes and looked towards the last row.

The young man who had been listening most attentively throughout the entire lesson once again picked up his violin case and left through the back door the moment she was surrounded by the crowd.

"Quite clever tactics," Qin Meng thought to herself with a cold laugh.

She has seen too many self-important men.

In her view, Lu Ci's behavior was nothing more than a more sophisticated form of playing hard to get.

He pretends to be serious and aloof, trying to attract her attention in this unique way. When her patience runs out or her curiosity is piqued, he will naturally reveal his true colors.

……

Time flies like an arrow, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During these five days, Lu Ci's life was extremely regular.

During the day, I stared at the stock market charts, watching those three stocks steadily rise.

In the evening, she accompanies Shen Nian to cook and eat, goes to the studio for guitar lessons on time in the night, and when she comes back late at night, she has to face Shen Nian's increasingly blatant enthusiasm and ambiguity.

Ever since that morning when she confronted Shen Man head-on, Shen Nian seemed to have broken free from some kind of seal.

She became more cheerful, smiled more, and even dressed more and more recklessly at home. The sweetness and dependence in her eyes when she looked at Lu Ci were almost palpable.

Lu Ci deliberately memorized several ancient poems to help calm his restless heart.

However, there was an unexpected incident these past few days. Every night at nine o'clock, Lu Ci would receive a video call from Shen Man. The other end of the call would be completely dark, and before Shen Ci could speak, the other party would hang up.

Then at 11 o'clock, another phone call came. Lu Ci got annoyed and called back to ask, but the other party hung up immediately.

This happens every day...

On the evening of the sixth day, at Peninsula Studio.

On the stage of classroom number two, Qin Meng was wearing a black off-the-shoulder fitted knit top and a denim mini skirt that hugged her hips.

Her rounded, fair shoulders and delicate collarbones were on full display, and her long, straight legs, accentuated by black Martin boots, made the men in the audience swallow hard.

During a break from instructing practice, Qin Meng's gaze involuntarily fell once again on Lu Ci, who was sitting in the corner of the last row.

This is the sixth day.

This guy arrives right on time every day, just as the bell rings, and leaves as soon as the bell rings to signal the end of get out of class, as decisive and efficient as an emotionless clock-in machine.

Forget about approaching her, he didn't say a single extra word to her in the past six days!

What surprised Qin Meng the most was that, as a teacher, she could clearly see Lu Ci's progress.

From not being able to distinguish the pitch of the six strings on the first day, to now, his slender fingers can nimbly move across the fretboard and he can even skillfully play the intro to a simple pop song.

This is something that those "old men" who only care about her legs could never do.

Qin Meng carefully examined Lu Ci's handsome face and the clean and refreshing youthful feeling he exuded.

A guy of this caliber, if he's a student at Jiangnan University, would definitely have no shortage of pretty girls throwing themselves at him.

"Could it be... that he really paid to learn guitar?" Qin Meng thought to herself with some disbelief.

This was the first time since she started teaching that she had seen an adult man pay to enroll in her class, just to learn the piano.

The bell rang as usual to signal the end of get out of class.

Lu Ci was the first to get up, handed over the rented guitar, and left the classroom.

Qin Meng seemed to be in a good mood today. She shooed away the flies that swarmed around her faster than usual, packed up her personal guitar, and walked out of the studio with her guitar case.

Just as she reached the street and was about to call a ride-hailing car with her phone, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows under the streetlights and walked straight toward her.

"Teacher Qin, wait a moment."

Qin Meng heard the sound and turned around.

When she realized that the person who had come was Lu Ci, who had been playing hard to get for six days and was now finally standing in front of her, her originally good mood instantly plummeted to freezing point, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

Qin Meng's face turned cold at a visible speed, and a strong sense of disgust and mockery welled up in her heart.

"Ha, I thought he was some kind of breath of fresh air, but he's just a common person with a little more patience than others." Qin Meng sneered inwardly.

This tactic of waiting six days and finally being unable to hold back, attempting to create a chance encounter and strike up a conversation on the way home from get off work, will only make her feel more hypocritical.

However, little did Lu Ci know that the beautiful teacher in front of him had already sentenced him to death in her heart.

The reason he was waiting here was because he had overheard the receptionist casually mention yesterday that, because weekends are peak times for customers, the studio had set Wednesdays as their rest day in order to avoid peak hours.

And tomorrow happens to be Wednesday!

This made Lu Ci very anxious.

Because the task requires uninterrupted learning, we must continue studying for a week.
