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

With a lazy smile on her lips, Song Xinya said in a serious tone, "You're a minor, and I'd feel bad if you treated me."

Jin Ruizhi: "You don't need to be so polite with me. My limited edition sneakers are worth 88 yuan. Treating you to a meal is not as expensive as buying a pair of shoes."

Song Tingye saw the young master who had come all this way to treat others to a meal for the first time: "Dude, you're really kind."

Jin Ruizhi looked at Song Tingye.

His gaze was completely different from the friendliness in Song Tingye's eyes; it was full of hostility.

He then glanced at Jian Yiyi, who was sitting next to Song Tingye, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them.

They were acting like they were catching someone in the act of adultery.

Jin Ruizhi walked to Jian Yiyi's side, grasped the top of Jian Yiyi's chair with his hand, and wrapped his arms around her, half of her in his embrace.

He stared coldly at Song Tingye: "Who are you?"

Jian Yi noticed Jin Ruizhi's hostility towards Song Tingye and spoke up for Song Tingye, saying, "He's a good person."

Jin Ruizhi lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the girl's fair and smooth neck: "You have a very high opinion of him."

Jane Yi: "He was a good person, a very, very good person."

Jin Ruizhi's face was as black as coal.

Song Xinya spoke up at the opportune moment: "Yiyi, are you hungry?"

Jane: "I'm hungry."

Song Xinya looked at Jin Ruizhi: "Aren't you letting people eat?"

Jin Ruizhi withdrew his gaze from Song Tingye and sat down in the empty seat next to Jian Yiyi.

The waiter brought the tea over, and Jian Yi poured a cup for Song Xinya and a cup for Song Tingye.

Jin Ruizhi handed the cup over himself: "I'm thirsty too."

Jane poured water into his teacup, her head bowed, her long eyelashes casting a light shadow, and the strands of hair falling on her cheeks were gentle and quiet, her beauty clean and pure.

Jin Ruizhi sat in the back, secretly observing her.

He picked up the water she poured—oolong tea. The roasting process brought out a smoky aroma and a hint of bitterness. Jin Ruizhi drank it, and it tasted like honey water, incredibly sweet.

Song Xinya asked, "Yiyi, what kind of food would you like to eat?"

Jane Yi is a tofu seller at the market. Tofu is her most frequent food, and she eats it every day. She rarely eats meat.

This was her first time at such a high-end restaurant, and she had no idea how to order. She said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm not picky about food, I'm fine with anything."

Song Xinya: "What kind of food do you like? Sweet or salty?"

Jane Yi: "I like spicy food."

Song Tingye and Song Xinya exchanged a glance: "We also like spicy food."

There were four people at the table. Three of them liked spicy food, while Jin Ruizhi preferred milder flavors and Cantonese cuisine.

Jin Ruizhi felt even more like an outsider.

Song Xinya asked him, "Young Master Jin, what would you like to eat?"

Jin Ruizhi: "Pan-fried foie gras, extra spicy."

Song Xinya: "Extra spicy? Can you handle that?"

Jin Ruizhi: "I'm only worried that it's not spicy enough."

Song Xinya: "Okay, I'll light it for you."

Song Tingye: "Spicy beef, cumin beef, braised beef ribs, golden broth beef, Wellington beef rolls, red wine braised beef."

My love for beef remains unchanged.

A whole beef head.

Actually, beef is cheaper in such upscale restaurants.

Song Xinya began ordering: "Australian king crab, wild yellow croaker, Thai mandarin shrimp, bluefin tuna."

Jin Ruizhi: "Teacher Song really knows how to eat."

Song Xinya: "Are you worried about the money?"

Jin Ruizhi: "It doesn't exist. Only money that has been spent is money. Money that hasn't been spent is just a string of numbers in my account."

While waiting for the food, Jin Ruizhi kept staring at Song Tingye, especially when Song Tingye and Jian Yi leaned close to talk.

Song Tingye thought to himself: This guy, does he have a brain disease?

"One cannot repay a guest who has been invited; one is bound to be obliged if one eats another's food," so Song Tingye did not curse him out to his face.

Knowing that the other party was unfriendly to him, Song Tingye naturally wouldn't try to be friendly, nor would he speak to Jin Ruizhi.

While waiting for their food, Jian Yi and Song Tingye chatted happily.

During the meal, Jian Yiyi and Song Tingye passed food to each other.

After dinner, Jian Yi and Song Tingye agreed to go out together.

After Jin Ruizhi swiped his card and paid, he turned his head and saw Jian Yiyi smiling sweetly at Song Tingye.

With a snap, the black card was crushed in two.

Song Xinya watched the whole scene and walked past him, saying, "There are many kinds of sourness: lemons, vinegar, and watching the girl you like interact with another man."

"You're all just 'cash, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, tea,' young master Jin, you're oozing sourness from head to toe."

Jin Ruizhi: "Why did you bring a boy to spend time with Jian Yi?"

Especially since this boy is so handsome.

In terms of appearance and height, this boy is in no way inferior to him.

Song Xinya: "Jian Yi wanted to improve her grades, so this boy tutored her and explained the problems to her."

Jin Ruizhi: "Is his academic performance very good?"

Song Xinya: "The top student in the grade at Jingbei No.1 Middle School, don't you think that's good?"

Jin Ruizhi: "He's so handsome, he doesn't look like someone who's good at studying."

Song Xinya: "Don't judge a book by its cover, that's appearance discrimination."

In the afternoon, Song Tingye went to Jian Yi's house to continue tutoring Jian Yi and explaining math and physics problems.

Jin Ruizhi followed.

Jian Yi and Song Tingye engaged in a lively discussion, talking about high school math, physics, or chemistry problems.

Jin Ruizhi is a terrible student; he doesn't even know the material for the first year of high school, let alone the material for the third year.

He couldn't get a word in edgewise the entire time.

Song Tingye's mind: an ocean of knowledge.

Jin Ruizhi's mind: water in the ocean.

For the first time, Jin Ruizhi stood next to a boy his own age. Although the boy was wearing basketball shoes worth 88 yuan a pair and was covered in designer brands, Jin Ruizhi still felt that he was overshadowed by him.

For the first time, Jin Ruizhi realized how charming a knowledgeable man could be.

The first time Jin Ruizhi saw Jian Yi looking at a man with adoration, that man was not him.

Throughout the entire afternoon, Jian Yiyi's gaze never once fell upon him.

Jin Ruizhi stood in the corner, watching Song Tingye shine.

Song Tingye has a very likable personality; he is lively, cheerful, and humorous. Not to mention, he is the top student in his grade, with such excellent academic performance that he can solve any problem. There is not a single obscure or difficult math problem that can stump him.

For the first time, Jin Ruizhi felt inferior.

He didn't even dare to speak, afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would expose his empty head, his barren knowledge, and his ignorance of mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

He, who usually tried every means to get close to Jian Yiyi, lowered his head and left silently.

Song Xinya crossed her arms and watched the boy's entire emotional journey unfold before her eyes.

The next day, she took Song Tingye to tutor Jian Yi again.

On the third day, she took Song Tingye to explain the problem to Jian Yi again.

Take photos and post them on WeChat Moments.

On the fourth day, Jin Ruizhi couldn't sit still any longer and took the initiative to find Song Xinya.

"Teacher Song, I want to sign a tutoring contract with you so I can study hard."
