Reborn in 2006, I met Mr. Zhou from the past.

"By the way, Brother Zhou, this kimchi is cold, so the elderly shouldn't eat too much of it, or it might upset their stomachs. You can chop it up and stir-fry it with minced meat. Heating it up will make it easier to digest."

Zhou Chenyu was surprised by Su Fengnan's thoughtfulness and nodded, keeping the instructions in mind. His grandmother hadn't had much of an appetite these past few days, and he had only decided on a whim to use this kimchi to give her a change of pace.

After finishing their meal and tidying up the food containers, Su Fengnan made Zhou Chenyu a cup of tea. The two sat in the study and began discussing the problems.

Zhou Chenyu checked Su Fengnan's practice books from the past few days, picking out the different types of incorrect questions and explaining them in detail. Su Fengnan, with her mature mind, had exceptional comprehension skills and grasped the concepts almost instantly. Zhou Chenyu even summarized the problem-solving strategies for different question types, which Su Fengnan found invaluable.

"Thank you, Brother Zhou! I'll definitely treat you to a meal after the monthly exams."

Zhou Chenyu chuckled and reached out to ruffle Su Fengnan's hair again: "Okay, I'll be waiting."

This was the second time he had touched the little girl's head. It seemed that after the first time, he had naturally gotten used to it.

Su Fengnan stiffened slightly, but quickly felt relieved. She found that she was not at all averse to Zhou Chenyu's approach; on the contrary, the unique masculine aura emanating from him made her feel exceptionally at ease.

Su Fengnan never used perfume in her past life and didn't know anything about good or bad scents. She didn't know what Zhou Chenyu smelled like, but she just thought it smelled very nice.

Before leaving, Su Fengnan returned all the medical expenses and clothing money that Zhou Chenyu had paid for while she was in Zhucheng. She later checked the price of the clothes online; they cost over a thousand yuan. She felt a pang of heartache when she paid for them.

Zhou Chenyu refused to accept it no matter what, so Su Fengnan finally threatened, "If you don't accept it, don't come tutoring me anymore."

Zhou Chenyu never intended to take back this small amount of money. But seeing her resolute attitude, he had no choice but to accept it.

Su Fengnan did not take a lunch break at home. After Zhou Chenyu left, she went straight to school.

The teachers have been focusing on reviewing key points these past two days, with the monthly exams just around the corner, and everyone is hoping the students will achieve good results. The two days of monthly exams, Thursday and Friday, flew by. After finishing the last subject, math, Su Fengnan took Ning Xiaojun home, intending to discuss with her how to deal with Li Hua.

The two chatted while cooking.

"Susu, what are your plans for the National Day holiday?"

Su Fengnan paused slightly in her chopping motion. It's best not to tell her about opening the shop for now; let's talk about it after it's open.

"I'm going to Zhucheng to see my cousin; we need his help with something at home. What about you?"

"Li Hua said he was coming to see me."

Su Fengnan's knife suddenly stopped, and she turned to look at Ning Xiaojun, who was washing vegetables: "What exactly are your feelings for Li Hua? Tell me clearly today, otherwise I don't know if the advice I gave you will work."

"Sigh... At first, he would comfort me and make me happy, and I relied on him. Later, I really fell in love with him, and I felt like I couldn't live without him because he taught me so many things..." Ning Xiaojun said softly, "But ever since I saw him cheat on me, I really want to break up with him. No matter how much I like him, I can't accept someone like that."

Su Fengnan sighed: "Do you still like him?"

"I don't know... I'm just really annoyed by him, and I don't want him bothering me."

Oh no, I hope she doesn't break up with me now. What if the guy coaxes her and we get back together? If I give her advice now, she'll hate me later.

"Jun Jun, what if he keeps bothering you and you can't help but forgive him again? If I give you advice now, wouldn't I be the one harming you? I won't do that." Su Fengnan pushed her towards the living room. "Go watch TV in the living room and think it through carefully. Do you want to break it off cleanly or stay entangled?"

Su Fengnan ushered Ning Xiaojun back to the living room, giving her some space. While busy in the kitchen, she glanced at her arm. The wound had mostly healed, with newly grown pink and tender flesh visible. With the combined use of the spiritual spring water and scar-removing cream, she estimated that the scar would soon be completely invisible.

The meal was just prepared, consisting of three meat dishes and one vegetable dish—vegetarian melon and beans, shredded pork with green peppers, eggplant with minced meat, and spicy diced chicken—and its aroma filled the air. At that moment, Su Fengnan pushed open the door and entered the house.

"Wow, sis, what did you make? It smells so good!"

"You're back just in time. Go wash your hands and have dinner."

"Okay!" Su Fengnan put down her schoolbag and quickly ran to wash her hands.

After dinner, Su Fengnan went to wash the dishes. Su Fengnan and Ning Xiaojun sat on the sofa, watching TV idly. Finally, Ning Xiaojun couldn't help but break the silence: "I've made up my mind. I don't want to have anything to do with Li Hua anymore."

Even if he came to apologize and beg you, or even threatened to tell your parents about your relationship, wouldn't you turn back?

Ning Xiaojun hesitated. She remained silent, her eyes unfocused despite staring at the television screen.

Su Fengnan wondered if Ning Xiaojun had also encountered Li Hua's relentless harassment in her past life? Had she also been threatened with her early romance? If so, how did she resolve it? She certainly hadn't resolved it; instead, she couldn't resist Li Hua's groveling and reconciled with him. Otherwise, why would she have married him right after graduating from university?

Was he her first man? Su Fengnan dared not think too deeply about it. She didn't want to think of her good friend as a girl who didn't cherish herself, but she couldn't help but worry.

With a soft sigh, Su Fengnan still asked that crucial question. She leaned close to Ning Xiaojun's ear and whispered gently.

Ning Xiaojun's face instantly turned bright red, and she quickly denied it, repeatedly emphasizing that she had not lost her virginity.

Well, it seems I was overthinking things.

"That's good, that's good. Such a scumbag doesn't deserve our Junjun. What if something really happened? Do you know that having a relationship with a minor is grounds for accusing him of rape?" Su Fengnan hugged her tightly.

Ning Xiaojun remained silent for a while before softly saying, "During the summer vacation, his friend had a birthday party and invited me to go with him. I drank some beer that day and got drunk, and that's when he got the idea... Later, I threw up everywhere, and he lost interest."

"Su Su, am I stupid? I almost lost my innocence." Ning Xiaojun hugged Su Fengnan, tears streaming down her face.

Just then, Su Fengnan came out of the kitchen and saw this scene. She asked cautiously, "Sister, why is Xiaojun crying?"

Su Fengnan gave her a quick, dismissive look: "Want to use the computer? Go to the study and play by yourself."

"Alright, then I won't bother you anymore." Su Fengnan happily ran to the study.

The TV in the living room was playing "Bright Sword." Su Fengnan, on a sudden inspiration, said, "Junjun, draw your sword and kill that scumbag! Otherwise, he'll think you're easy to bully, and who else will he bully if not you?"

After a while, once Ning Xiaojun had calmed down, she asked, "What should we do?"

"You don't want him to harass you, you don't want to have anything to do with him, but you're afraid of his threats, afraid of your parents finding out, right?"

Ning Xiaojun nodded: "Right now, I just want to pass the college entrance exam smoothly, but I don't want him to keep bothering me."
