Strange in public! Trying to conceive in private! Pampered and kissed every night.

The instant their eyes met, Song Tingye felt as if his heart had been pierced through; a powerful shock, like a bullet, suddenly pierced through him.

He was certain that he had never seen the little girl selling tofu before.

But the moment I saw her, an indescribable sense of familiarity overwhelmed me.

It felt like meeting an old friend again.

Eager to know the answer, Song Tingye asked anxiously, "Sister, who is she?"

Song Xinya: "Her name is Jian Yiyi, and I have only met her four times so far."

Song Tingye: "Why do I feel like I know her so well when I see her?"

Song Xinya: "That was my feeling the first time I saw her."

The siblings turned their heads at the same time, looked at each other, their eyes met, and their gazes revealed the same thought...

Song Tingye couldn't wait: "Let's go, let's go take a look."

The siblings walked toward the tofu stall.

Jian Yi took out chairs that she had prepared beforehand and placed them on Song Xinya and Song Tingye: "Please sit down."

She looked at Song Tingye: "Are you Teacher Song's younger brother?"

"Yes," Song Tingye said, looking straight at her. "Actually, I have a twin sister, but she got lost when she was three years old."

Jane asked in surprise, "Hasn't it been found yet?"

Song Tingye: "No, we tried every method, but we didn't find a single clue."

Jane Yi: "That's really heartbreaking. You must miss your sister very much."

Song Tingye looked at her face and replied, "Yes, my sister and I miss her very much."

Jane Yi: "I especially understand the feeling of losing family members because I grew up without a mother."

Perhaps because they shared a similar plight and empathized with each other, Jian Yi took the initiative to mention her family background for the first time.

Following her words, Song Xinya asked, "Is your father still alive?"

"Yes," Jane replied, a wary look on her face.

After two attempts to probe, Song Xinya realized that the word "father" was a taboo subject for Jian Yiyi, and Jian Yiyi was very reluctant to talk about her father.

Jane changed the subject, asking, "Are you going to give me extra lessons here?"

The environment here is humid and hot. Song Tingye is afraid of the heat, but he replied, "It's fine to tutor you here."

Jane Yi: "Thank you. What should I call you?"

Song Tingye: "Just call me brother."

Jian Yi could sense that the other person had a sunny and cheerful personality and was very outgoing, but she was not an extroverted girl and couldn't bring herself to call a boy she had just met "brother".

Song Xinya: "His full name is Song Tingye, you can just call him Xiaoye."

Jian Yi silently repeated, "Xiao Ye."

Song Tingye: "Brother."

Jane smiled; he seemed to really want her to call him brother.

Song Tingye: "Which subject did you fail?"

Jian Yiyi: "I am relatively weak in the three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry."

Song Tingye breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she wasn't bad at Chinese.

Jian Yiyi: "Sometimes I go off-topic when I write essays."

Song Tingye: "...I can't help you with that, because I can run even faster than you."

Jian Yi: "Then can you tutor me in math, physics, and chemistry?"

Song Tingye: "No problem, I'll take care of it."

Jian Yi took out "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation" and started doing the questions. When she encountered a question she didn't know, she asked Song Tingye.

It must be said that the top scorer in the grade at the best public middle school in Beijing is highly prestigious.

When Song Tingye explains problems, he does so in a simple and easy-to-understand way, drawing inferences from one instance to another. He can explain eight different solutions to a single problem, connecting all the relevant knowledge points clearly and thoroughly.

Jane exclaimed, "I think you speak even better than my teacher."

Song Tingye: "When a teacher lectures, they are facing all the students in the class and have to consider the level of understanding of all the students. It is definitely not as targeted and detailed as when I teach you one-on-one."

The boy, full of youthful vigor, declared: "The university I'll get into will definitely be better than your teacher's."

Jane Yi: "My math teacher graduated from a 211 university."

Song Tingye: "I will either apply to Tsinghua University or Peking University in the future."

Jian Yi looked at Song Tingye with admiration: "You're so amazing."

Song Tingye: "I'm clever enough to find shelter from the rain, and I'm exceptionally good at sleeping at night."

"Trust me, with my tutoring, your grades will definitely improve steadily."

Jane nodded emphatically: "Yes! I believe you!"

She lowered her head again and continued working on the problems, her little face full of seriousness.

While the two children were studying, Song Xinya stood aside and helped sell tofu.

The morning passed quickly without us even realizing it.

When Song Xinya stood next to the tofu stall, her fair skin, beautiful face, and slender figure effortlessly overshadowed all other beauties.

Men and women passing by couldn't help but look at the tofu stall.

Men who don't usually like tofu lined up to buy it.

The tofu that would normally sell out in a day was sold out in just one morning.

At lunchtime, Song Xinya said, "Today I'm taking you to the most expensive restaurant in Beijing for a nice meal."

As a busy food connoisseur, Song Tingye said, "Great, I love eating expensive food."

Jane said timidly, "I'll treat you."

Song Tingye: "The most expensive restaurant in Beijing charges 1,000 yuan for a single salad. A meal there costs at least 10,000 yuan. You couldn't earn that much by selling tofu for three months."

"Hey girl, if you want to treat us to a meal, you'd better sell a kidney first."

Jane blushed with embarrassment: "What? A lettuce salad costs a thousand dollars? It's just a few lettuce leaves with some dressing. Why is it so expensive? Isn't this ripping people off?"

Song Tingye: "It's about the prestige."

He looked at Song Xinya: "Sis, are you really going to take us to the most expensive restaurant in Beijing for a meal? This meal alone will cost as much as Grandma's medical expenses. Aren't you worried about the cost?"

Song Xinya: "It's not like I'm paying for it, why should I feel bad about it?"

Song Tingye and Jian Yi asked in unison, "Who's paying?"

Song Xinya: "Song Tingye, explain another problem to Jian Yiyi."

Song Tingye: "Weren't we supposed to be eating? Why are you making me explain problems again?"

Jian Yi obediently opened "Five Years of College Entrance Examination and Three Years of Simulation," and Song Tingye sat beside her to guide her.

The two were standing close together, almost touching heads when they were discussing the problem.

When they were closest to each other, Song Xinya took a picture of them.

After explaining one question, Song Xinya led Song Tingye and Jian Yi to the Jingbei Grand Hotel.

Sitting in the most luxurious hotel in Beijing, Song Xinya posted the photo she had just taken to her WeChat Moments.

Caption: Hungry, hungry, time to eat!

Location: Beijing North Hotel

Settings: Visible only to Jin Ruizhi

Less than half an hour later, the door of the Jingbei Hotel was pushed open with a bang, and Jin Ruizhi rushed in.

Song Xinya casually flipped through the menu with her slender, pale fingers: "Young Master Jin, what brings you here?"

You can't exactly say you're there to freeload; you'd be kicked out for sure.

Jin Ruizhi: "I'll treat you to dinner."
