The anchor I was supposed to meet turned out to be my student.

Jiang Yan and I exchanged bewildered glances, unsure of what to say. Jiang Yan's face was flushed, clearly embarrassed by Xu Lehan's teasing. She awkwardly took out her phone to fix her hair, and I also took out my phone to try and restore my original hairstyle...

After I finished tidying up, I said to Jiang Yan, "Let's go back."

Jiang Yanyi nodded, but still looked a little shy. It was understandable; for a 15-year-old like Jiang Yanyi, being teased by Xu Lehan with adult-level risqué jokes was bound to make her blush. Of course, many girls her age are quite mature, but Jiang Yanyi was clearly not at that level; she was still a shy little girl.

Chapter 15, page 186: Come to my room when you get back.

On the way back to the villa, Jiang Yanyi and I remained silent. After Xu Lehan's interference, Jiang Yanyi stopped worrying about the gift, but I still felt apologetic. At that moment, my phone vibrated several times because of a message. Coincidentally, Jiang Yanyi also took out her phone. We looked at each other and realized that we had both received the message at the same time.

I checked my phone and saw a new message in the eight-person travel group I'd created. Clicking on it, I saw that Xu Lehan had posted several photos in a row. Browsing through them, I saw they were all selfies of her in a swimsuit, with the azure sea and sky as the background. She even commented that the beach was beautiful, but in every single photo, there was a prominent feature of her impressive bust. I felt that her real intention wasn't the photos; she simply wanted to use her most prized feature to outshine the other six girls…

However, I must say, I couldn't help but save every single one of them, because they were truly magnificent... This scenery... is endlessly captivating and inspires a longing to visit...

Turning off her phone, Jiang Yan noticed that she had already put it down; she wasn't particularly interested in looking at Xu Lehan's swimsuit photos...

Seeing the somewhat silent atmosphere, I asked curiously, "So, Yeon-yi, what exactly is the gift you gave me?"

"It's a cell phone."

I didn't expect that; I thought it was something like a wallet.

"Why give me such an expensive gift as a cell phone? My phone is still working."

Jiang Yan glanced at the phone I was holding and said, "I only gave you an iPhone 11 because I saw you were still using an iPhone 7. They've already released the 11. Aren't you worried about it being outdated?"

An iPhone 11 costs six or seven thousand yuan, that's too expensive, and I even lost it, so I feel even more guilty.

“I’m so sorry that I not only caused your father to spend money, but I also wasted money… I’ll send the money back to you.”

Jiang Yan pouted and said unhappily, "Have you ever seen someone lose a gift and then pay the person back? Besides, I bought it with my own pocket money. I said I don't need it, and that's final."

"Then I should definitely return it to you, since you spent so much of my allowance," I said, feeling even more embarrassed.

Jiang Yan punched my arm and said angrily, "If you mention giving me back the money again, I'll never talk to you again!"

"But……"

"I have over 100,000 yuan in pocket money and New Year's money, so don't worry about me," Jiang Yan said nonchalantly.

Are kids in Shanghai really this rich? When I was 15, I only got five yuan a day for pocket money, which wasn't even enough to go online...

Even among families in Shanghai, not all are this wealthy, so I couldn't help but ask, "Yan Yi, may I ask what kind of work your parents do besides their regular jobs?"

Jiang Yanyi was completely open with me and quickly said, "My parents also run an online store, and I heard they have quite a few agents. My mom is often away on business trips because she's busy with this, while my dad is in charge of the online part. But I don't know why he hasn't quit his job at the university."

This is actually a living example of entrepreneurial success. What surprised me was that Jiang Yan's parents actually succeeded in opening an online store instead of becoming an online store agent, a job that is usually more suitable for young people. This gave me even more confidence to complete the entrepreneurial venture that my best friend Liao Zhengyang and I were going to undertake.

"No wonder you don't even care about phones costing six or seven thousand yuan, Yan Yi. You're incredibly rich." I exclaimed in admiration.

But Jiang Yanyi was unhappy with what I said and said, "Do you think I'm that generous to everyone?!"

I immediately realized and said, "Yes, yes, Yan Yi is so kind to me, I'm so touched."

Jiang Yan gave a satisfied hum, her face full of smiles.

As they walked, Jiang Yan suddenly asked, "Brother Hua, have you taken your driving test?"

I nodded. Although I didn't plan to buy a car yet, it wasn't a bad thing to take the test in advance.

“Then I’ll give you all my tens of thousands, and you can contribute a little more to buy a car,” Jiang Yan said expectantly.

"Why are you suddenly saying that?" I asked, puzzled.

"That way, if I go to your office for tutoring every day, you can stay up even later with me. Dad won't have to pick me up from school; you can just take me home. And after tutoring on weekends, you can drive us out for fun!"

While that makes sense, how could I possibly use Jiang Yanyi's money, who is ten years younger than me, to buy myself a car? Besides, I urgently need funds for my startup, so how could I possibly be thinking about buying a means of transportation? I don't need it anyway.

"It might not work, Yeon-yi. My friends and I have been busy with some things lately that require a lot of money, so it's not realistic to spend money on a car. Let's just forget about it."

Hearing me say that, Jiang Yanyi looked a little disappointed and said, "I was thinking that this way Brother Hua could spend more time with me..."

Her words touched me. Was she saying she enjoyed being with me? She used to hate it when I tutored her, and she didn't want to spend even a minute longer with me…

Jiang Yan and I deliberately returned to the villa one after the other, and then on the second floor, we saw Luo Yao standing guard at the door of my room.

When Luo Yao saw Jiang Yan and me coming up side by side, she looked at us suspiciously. Jiang Yan called out "Sister Yao Yao," but for some reason, her tone sounded somewhat unsure.

"Brother Tusheng, where did you and Yan Yi go?" Luo Yao asked.

Jiang Yan spoke before I could, saying, "Brother Hua and I just happened to bump into each other in the backyard of the manor, and then we came back together."

I glanced at Jiang Yanyi. What she said was quite appropriate, lest Luo Yao start to be suspicious and think of Jiang Yanyi as a little vixen again.

Luo Yao said to Jiang Yanyi, "Yanyi, come to my room, I have something to tell you."

"oh….."

Jiang Yan followed Luo Yao up to the third floor to her room, leaving me alone in the corridor. I didn't know why Luo Yao suddenly called Yan to her room; it was probably about the artists.

Just then, I was also looking for Bi Antong. She had something to ask me before, but she probably couldn't say it because Jiang Yanyi was there. So I was about to knock on Bi Antong's door when someone sent me a message.

It was a short sentence from Ye Zhi: "Come to my room when you get back, the door isn't locked."

Just by reading the text, I can imagine the expression on her face when she sent this message, like a CEO ordering her subordinates to her office without any room for argument.

So I put down my hand that was about to knock on Bi Antong's door and instead went to the fourth room on this floor, which was Ye Zhi's room. She must have heard Luo Yao calling my name, so she knew I was back and asked me to go to her room.

I opened Ye Zhi's door, and sure enough, it wasn't locked. I saw her with her legs spread out, leaning against the headboard playing on her phone. Today, she looked incredibly feminine in that black off-shoulder dress. She was already eye-catching on the plane, but now, with her long legs stretched out on the bed, she was even more sexy...

(Please vote with monthly tickets~ Hehe...)

Chapter 16, 187. Ye Zhi also has the demeanor of a young girl?

I entered the room, but Ye Zhi didn't even glance at me. She seemed too busy with her phone screen to look away. As I walked in, Ye Zhi's cool and mature voice suddenly rang out.

"Develop good habits, and remember to close the door."

Although it's a good habit, I always feel like she's just doing it for convenience.

Helpless, I turned back and closed the door again, and then I was torn between sitting on the sofa or on the bed where she was lying.

In the end, I chose the sofa next to me.

It wasn't that I was reserved; after all, Ye Zhi and I had done quite a few ambiguous things. It was just that I felt it was inexplicably strange for her to be lying on the bed while I sat on the edge of it, and it made me look silly.

"What are you doing sitting there?" Ye Zhi looked up at me with a frown.

"Then where should I sit?"

Then Ye Zhi patted the spot next to her, meaning that I should also take off my shoes and climb into her bed.

"Won't I get your bed dirty? I just walked around the backyard estate a few times, so my clothes should be a little dirty."

Ye Zhi said nonchalantly, "Anyway, this is Xiao Jun's bed, so it's none of my business if it gets dirty."

Damn, why do I feel this strange thrill when she says that? Is it some kind of excitement again...?

Since she didn't mind, I had nothing more to say. So I took off my shoes and lay down next to her, stretching my legs out and leaning against the headboard just like her. During this time, I couldn't help but take another look at her long legs. Ye Zhi was wearing a one-shoulder long dress, the kind with a slit at the hem similar to a cheongsam. Lying on the bed, the slit started from the middle of her thighs and slid down, revealing her long legs without any covering. It was very attractive. Indeed, compared to the other girls in the group, Ye Zhi's outfit was much more mature and more feminine. Even just quietly playing games was a feast for the eyes.

I lay down next to her, glanced at the phone screen she was holding, and saw she was playing King of Glory. She had just pushed down the enemy's crystal and ended the game, so I asked, "Why did you call me here?"

While looking at the post-war statistics, Ye Zhi parted her red lips and said, "Did you have so much fun with that little girl named Jiang Yanyi outside? It took you so long to come back."

Ye Zhi's avoidance of the question and subsequent change of topic made me feel strange.

"She was just wandering around and thought the giant squirrels here were quite cute, so she kept them company..."

"Alright, I'm not interested in what she likes," Ye Zhi interrupted directly.

This is something you asked me yourself...

Ye Zhi glanced at me and asked, "Aren't you pretending to be a couple with Xiao Jun? Aren't you afraid of arousing suspicion when you go out with Jiang Yan?"

"Jiang Yanyi and I are just ordinary friends, so..."

Okay, I've been interrupted again. Ye Zhi leaned over to me, reached into my pocket, and said, "Come in first."

She took out my phone and let me enter the King of Glory rank too.

As I opened my phone, I continued, "So it won't have any impact, and we went first and second..."

"You clicked the wrong button. I put you in King of Glory, not PUBG..."

I was speechless after being interrupted by Ye Zhi repeatedly, and complained to her, "You were the one who asked me the question, can't you just listen to me finish speaking..."

"What's there to say? Just tell Xiaojun's parents that you're imposters. Why are you being so timid?" Ye Zhi said matter-of-factly.

"You're talking without understanding the situation. Xiaojun and I pretended to be a couple in front of her parents for so long. Knowing her father's personality, if he found out that Xiaojun and I were just pretending, he'd definitely kill me..."

"It's okay, if you can't say it, I'll say it for you."

I couldn't help but tap Ye Zhi on the head and said, "So what if you say that? In the end, Uncle Lu vented his anger on me. You're just making things worse for me!"

After I tapped Ye Zhi on the head, she turned to look at me in surprise...

"Why are you suddenly looking at me like that?" I asked, puzzled.

"You hit me!" Ye Zhi stared at me resentfully.

"I didn't hit you, don't wrong me..."

"You just hit me on the head!" Ye Zhi scolded me in a tone like a little girl!

This was the first time I had ever seen Ye Zhi with such a surprised expression, as if she couldn't believe that someone would tap her on the head.

I thought it was something serious. I've knocked on the door of Lu Xiaojun, Bi Antong, and Luo Yao before, so I naturally asked, "Is there a problem?"

Ye Zhi, unusually somber, said, "In all my years, no one has ever dared to lay a hand on me!"

I don't doubt what she said. Given Yi Ye Zhi's usually aloof personality, no one would provoke her for no reason, let alone lay a hand on her. But that's precisely why I feel a strange sense of accomplishment. I slightly raised my chin to meet her gaze and said without showing any weakness, "Now that I have it, what do you want?"

Ye Zhi didn't say anything, and suddenly reached out and hit me on the head. Although it didn't hurt much, it was the first time I had been hit on the head, just like her, and I felt a sense of humiliation. So I hit her on the head again.

"you!"

Ye Zhi glared at me angrily; she was still so beautiful even when she was angry.

This time I was prepared. When Ye Zhi wanted to take revenge again, I quickly grabbed her hand to stop her. But Ye Zhi was not convinced and pressed down on me. I was pinned to the bed by her. She struggled to break free of my hand and stubbornly wanted to get back at me, as if she were possessed.

"You're not serious, are you?!" She straddled me, making it difficult for me to get up.
