The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

Ruan Yang shook his head and took half a step back.

"Really, you don't need it anymore. You should just cancel your order."

With that, Ruan Yang nodded, refusing decisively, and pulled Meng Ling upstairs.

Meng Ling was still in shock when she returned to her office and grabbed Ruan Yang.

"Yangyang, if you meet a rich and handsome guy like that, you can give it a try. You don't know, that bag is a new Chanel design. I saw this bag for over ten thousand yuan when I was shopping with my best friend not long ago."

"I know."

"So you didn't accept it? He was obviously pursuing you!"

"Senior, you're joking, right? He never said he was going to pursue me. Besides, I already have this bag; my brother bought it for me when we were shopping the other day."

Meng Ling's eyes widened. "...The young lady is actually right beside me!"

Ruan Yang: "..."

In the afternoon, Ruan Yang had no classes, so she went to hand out flyers.

They were left to bask in the sun for two hours, but yielded no harvest.

She sighed and when she returned to school, she saw Qiao Wei had come to work.

Contrary to what Meng Ling said, Qiao Wei was dressed radiantly and did not look like someone who had failed in meeting her online boyfriend in person.

Ruan Yang did not react much.

The main characters, of course, are born with a halo.

She'd better avoid playing that vicious supporting character.

The work at the dance school is flexible; when there are no classes, you don't have to be in the office regularly.

Ruan Yang had no classes that evening, so she packed her things and prepared to leave.

"Teacher Ruan, are you leaving?" The vice principal asked as he passed by.

"……right."

The vice principal frowned. "What time is it? You're already leaving get off work? Have you recruited any new students? Learn from Qiao Wei. Today, Niannian's parents said the teacher was good and renewed their courses for 100,000 yuan."

Ruan Yang wasn't too surprised, and nodded, saying, "I will learn more from my senior teachers in the future."

The vice principal sized her up. "Ruan Yang, I remember you're 22 this year, right? Qiao Wei is two years younger than you. But look at her, she recently bought a BMW worth 800,000 yuan. Everyone your age is more outstanding than you, aren't you worried?"

Qiao Wei walked over from a short distance away.

She smiled smugly. "Vice Principal, please don't always compare me to others. Doesn't that put pressure on the new teachers?"

Ruan Yang did not speak.

She can't just die here.

"Vice Principal, you've misunderstood," Meng Ling stepped in to smooth things over. "Yangyang and I are going to hand out flyers outside Eddington School. Those are all children of wealthy families, so they're more likely to come to our training class."

"Hmm, that's about right." The vice principal waved his hand, telling them to get back to work.

As Ruan Yang walked out of the school, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for earlier, senior."

Meng Ling waved her hand, quite righteously saying, "It's nothing. But there is something important—"

She changed the subject, frowning as she said:

"Yangyang, I feel like Huo Nian's brother has misunderstood... Does he think you're the teacher in charge of Nian Nian's lessons? Otherwise, why would he suddenly renew the tuition fee by 100,000? It doesn't make sense."

Ruan Yang didn't think that much about it.

Qiao Wei is Qiao Lingling's younger sister and a member of the main characters, so it's normal for her to be lucky.

Ruan Yang was more concerned about something else—

"Senior, are we really going to hand out flyers?"

"Of course not. We live in the era of social media now, why would we need to hand out flyers?"

Meng Ling didn't hold back either. She taught Ruan Yang, "You're pretty. Go back and open a Douyin account, teach some simple ballet moves for children, and the platform will push them to relevant users. If they want to learn, they'll come to you themselves."

Wow! That's a great idea!

You won't be exposed to the sun or bothered.

In the afternoon, when Ruan Yang was handing out flyers, a man asked her how much it cost.

She thought it was his daughter who wanted to learn ballet, so she gave a serious introduction.

The man then asked how much it would cost for an overnight stay.

Enraged, Ruan Yang immediately called the police.

"Senior, you're so kind!" Ruan Yang smiled and hugged Meng Ling's arm. "Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."

The aroma is wonderful, like a soft and fragrant little cake.

Meng Ling was so flattered that she agreed.

"Okay, let's go to the shopping street then. It's just two subway stops away."

"No need, I'm driving," Ruan Yang said.

The two walked for five or six minutes and arrived at the parking lot.

"Yangyang, why did you park so far away? There are free parking spaces downstairs at our school."

I want to keep a low profile.

Meng Ling was puzzled; what kind of car needed to be discreet?

As a result, Ruan Yang opened the door of a red Porsche supercar.

She gasped.

The price of this car is enough to buy many of Qiao Wei's BMWs.

Meng Ling's eyes lit up. "Junior, if you really want to thank me, don't treat me to dinner. Just park this car next to Qiao Ling's car tomorrow, okay?"

"……what?"

Meng Ling pinched the bridge of her nose. "You don't know, the vice principal keeps using Qiao Wei buying a car to rub it in with us. I'm sick of it. Junior, junior, just give me what I want!"

Ruan Yang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"……good."

That evening, Ruan Yang returned home.

She saw Jiang Yanci's report in the "We Are a Loving Family" group.

[Jiang Yanci]: I'm going to Suzhou on a business trip these two days and will be back the day after tomorrow.

This business trip was rather sudden, and Ruan Yang scratched his head.

Is my brother avoiding me?

After washing up, she lay down on the bed and made a video call to Jiang Yanci.

At that time, Jiang Yanci and Huo Shen had just finished a social engagement and were in the car on their way back to the hotel.

Huo Shen sighed and complained, "I was just about to pursue Little Rose when you dragged me to work overtime. Jiang Yanci, if my wife runs away, you'll have to give me another one."

Jiang Yanci expressed his gratitude sincerely, "This collaboration was rushed, and the original translator couldn't make it in time. You're the only one around who speaks Finnish."

This made Huo Shen a little embarrassed.

"Hey, why are you being so polite between us?"

Huo Shen's gaze returned to his phone screen, and after seeing the message from Little Rose, his eyes glazed over.

"…Bro, you said Little Rose sent me a picture of herself in her pajamas, saying she was going to sleep. What does that mean?"

"have no idea."

"I guess..." Huo Shen blushed slightly, "it means he likes me."

He just asked Little Rose if she was asleep.

Little Rose sent him a selfie. She was lying in bed, not showing her face, but revealing a slip dress on the soft pink sheets, her skin as white as frost.

[Little Rose]: I was just about to fall asleep.

He had seen even bolder photos in Huo Shen's private messages on Douyin, but he didn't react much.

You can see this photo—

The thought that it was Teacher Ruan who had shown it to him made his face turn red and his eyes go blank.

It felt like I was back in my early teens, with all the blood rushing to my head.

[Huo Shen]: Teacher Little Rose, can I pursue you?

When he uttered those words, he was dizzy and forgot to pull back; he was very direct.

About a minute later.

[Little Rose]: Brother Huo, stop joking... Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed, I'm going to sleep.

Brother Huo.

Huo Shen thought of the tone Ruan Yang used when she said "Brother Huo Nian" yesterday. The word "brother" sounded like it was being said while chewing on candy, pleasant to hear but sticky.

She calls him brother.

Huo Shen's face turned bright red, as if he were drunk, and he grinned foolishly at his brother beside him.

"Yan Ci, Little Rose not only sent me photos of herself in her pajamas, but she also called me 'brother'."

Jiang Yanci glanced at his good brother's pathetic appearance and shook his head slightly.

"Buzzing—"

His phone vibrated; it was a video call.

Upon seeing the crescent-shaped profile picture, his pupils contracted slightly. After putting on his headphones, he pressed the answer button.

"Brother, why did it take you so long to answer the phone!"

In the video, the little girl sits on the bed, staring at the camera with a resentful look.

Jiang Yanci saw the room she was in, his breath catching in his throat. "What are you doing in my bed?"

Speaking of this, Ruan Yang's eyes reddened.

"A mouse just ran into my room, and I'm too scared to stay here, so I'm hiding here."

Jiang Yanci pressed his temples. "Why don't you go to the guest room?"

Ruan Yang huddled under the covers, revealing her round eyes, and said honestly, "Because my brother smells on the bed, it makes me feel safe."

Jiang Yanci suddenly paused.

How could his sister always say such outrageous things with such a serious expression?
