My skill tree increases every day.

Lin Yu had a lot of fun.

He raised the lollipop high and lowered it repeatedly.

Watching Niu Niu hopping around on her short legs, her chubby little hands grabbing wildly in the air.

"Brother, candy!"

Be good, brother won't do it.

Lin Yu was laughing so hard that his mouth was practically stretched to his ears.

Hehe! It's so much fun to tease kids.

Of course, Aunt Wang wasn't naive either.

She might not have realized that Lin Yu's initial elaborate scheme was simply to amuse the child. But she could see right through him now.

This brat is playing tricks on his own granddaughter!

"Xiao Lin!"

"Ugh!"

As Lin Yu answered, he didn't pay attention and subconsciously put his hand down.

Then Lin Yu felt the fish bite the hook.

The lollipop in her hand clearly felt heavy as it went down. Niu Niu opened her mouth and bit down on the lollipop in Lin Yu's hand with a "woof".

Lin Yu lowered his head.

Niu Niu was looking up, a lollipop in her mouth, her cheeks puffed out, and her eyes curved into two crescent moons.

She bit down.

Niu Niu, with a candy in her mouth, looked at him triumphantly, her little face full of "I won" expressions.

Lin Yu: "..."

"You brat, I told you not to give her candy!" That was Aunt Wang's booming voice.

The candy that was already in her mouth wasn't taken away, making the little girl perhaps the biggest winner of the day.

After packing their things, Lin Yu and Chen Shuyan stood behind the cashier once again.

Today is another day without having to move any goods, another day to relax and slack off.

"Lin Yu, have you prepared for Xuanxuan's class?"

Lin Yu nodded.

"Yes, I have."

He took out his phone from his pocket, scrolled through his notes, and handed it to Chen Shuyan.

"Look, here's my plan for this week: first, review the two-digit addition we learned last week, then move on to new material. For English, we'll continue with hands-on teaching, and Xuanxuan seems to enjoy it."

Chen Shuyan took the phone, looked at it carefully, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"You're quite serious."

"Of course," Lin Yu said. "It's a hundred yuan an hour, I can't just take it for free."

Chen Shuyan returned the phone to him, thought for a moment, and then said:

"How did your conversation with Xuanxuan's mother go?"

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment.

Why are we bringing up Xuanxuan's mother again?

"It's alright," he said. "She's quite enthusiastic and messages me frequently."

"She even invited me to her house for dinner next week."

Actually, Chen Shuyan didn't need to ask about this; Xuanxuan's mother had been sending messages to Lin Yu frequently these past few days.

Parents these days really go to great lengths for their children.

It's only been a few days, and we've already exchanged dozens of messages.

It's strange, though. Xuanxuan's mother rarely mentions Xuanxuan in her messages; she always talks about trivial things in life.

For example, Xuanxuan's father is always too busy to pay attention to the family, Xuanxuan's father always ignores Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan's father is never home, and so on.

In short, Xuanxuan's mother and Lin Yu are now quite familiar with each other.

"Oh, that's good. Building a good relationship with the child's parents is always a good thing." Chen Shuyan also affirmed Lin Yu's achievements.

In the tutoring industry, it's not only about solving children's learning problems, but also about building good relationships with their parents.

Lin Yu finished his workday by chatting and laughing with Chen Shuyan.

Stepping out of the convenience store, Lin Yu stretched and loosened his muscles.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

Lin Yu rode his electric scooter and extended an invitation to Chen Shuyan.

Lin Yu had been driving Chen Shuyan back to school every day for some time now, and he had gotten used to it. Today, he even took the initiative to lead the bike to Chen Shuyan.

"It's getting dark, it's not safe for you to go back alone."

Although it's not yet June, the sunset time has already started to shift noticeably later.

At least at this time, we haven't seen the sunset yet.

"it is good."

Chen Shuyan chuckled softly, adjusted her floral dress, and gracefully sat down in the back seat of Lin Yu's car.

"it is good."

After crossing two traffic lights, I turned onto the street where Wudong University is located. Groups of students walked past me, chatting and laughing.

Oh, so students at Wu Dong University do leave the campus.

Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh.

He recalled the first time he escorted Chen Shuyan back home. He waited at the school gate for twenty minutes but no one came. In the end, he was able to get out with the help of a brother named Li Tongchen.

He even remarked back then, "Don't the top students at Wu Dong University have any nightlife?"

It seems that even top students are human; they need to eat too.

It's a little past six in the evening, the perfect time for people to go out for dinner, so the area around the school gate is naturally bustling.

"Yan Yan!"

Chen Shuyan had just gotten off the bus at the school gate when she heard a familiar voice calling her name.

They both turned around at the same time.

A girl with a high ponytail jogged over, a bright smile on her face. She was wearing a loose T-shirt and denim shorts, revealing a pair of long, straight legs.

She ran up to him, glanced at Lin Yu first, a look of scrutiny flashing in her eyes, and then turned to Chen Shuyan.

"I was wondering why you've been coming home so early lately, since you usually don't get back until after 7. Oh, someone brought you home—"

She dragged out the last syllable, her tone clearly teasing.

Chen Shuyan's ears turned red.

"Xiaoxue, don't talk nonsense," she whispered.

Mo Wenxue—judging from her address and tone, she should be Chen Shuyan's roommate—came over with a grin and took Chen Shuyan's arm.

"I'm not making this up! I saw it with my own eyes!"

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Yu again, sizing him up from head to toe.

Although Lin Yu was quite confident in his appearance, he still felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze and could only nod politely.

This woman doesn't look like someone you'd want to mess with.

"Hello, I'm Lin Yu."

Mo Wenxue's eyes lit up.

"You're Lin Yu! I've heard Yan Yan mention you before..."

"Minor Snow!"

To prevent Mo Wenxue from talking nonsense, Chen Shuyan quickly ran forward to interrupt her.

"Alright, alright. I won't say anything more." Mo Wenxue waved her hand and made a gesture of surrender to Chen Shuyan.

"Hello, my name is Mo Wenxue, and I'm Yanyan's roommate."

Mo Wenxue generously extended a hand to Lin Yu.

"Hello, I'm Lin Yu. You probably already know quite a bit about me."

Lin Yu shook hands with her lightly, their fingers touching briefly before separating.

That means you've officially met.

"By the way, Lin Yu, I have a question for you."

Mo Wenxue asked before Lin Yu left.

Are you free this Friday evening?

"I'm free Friday night. What's up?"

Mo Wenxue knew, of course, that Lin Yu was free on Friday night. His schedule overlapped with Chen Shuyan's, so if Chen Shuyan was free, Lin Yu would be free too.

"We're having a small get-together on Friday night, and Yan Yan will be there too. Do you want to come?"

"Hmm? It seems inappropriate for me to attend your party..."

"It's nothing, Yan Yan always mentions you, we're all quite curious about you!"

"So, shall we?"

"?"
