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

Hua Xinning was truly suffering, suffering in every sense of the word. On one hand, she was heartbroken to see her best friend Lu Xiaojun heartbroken; on the other hand, she was furious that Luo Yao had ruined her long-planned scheme. She had even imagined countless times how Lu Xiaojun and Tu Sheng would start dating, and how Lu Xiaojun would share Tu Sheng's body and soul with her, the three of them happily spending every day together. However, all these fantasies that were about to come true were shattered...

Chapter 59, Section 569: Taking Advantage of the Vulnerability

2021-02-09T14:43:43

"Sister Xiaojun, your brother is looking for you, are you really not going...? That was the first time your brother asked you out..." Xin Ning asked anxiously as she came to Lu Xiaojun's side.

Lu Xiaojun was visibly moved, but still said, "I'd better not go... I'd definitely feel awkward seeing my teacher now..."

Hua Xinning anxiously went to Lu Xiaojun's other side and advised, "But Xiaojun, brother must be very confused right now. If you comfort him, maybe things will work out?"

"It's no use. There are so many girls in his heart, you can't squeeze them out... Besides, he said last night that we should all stay by his side. How can this be... It's wrong..."

Seeing that Lu Xiaojun was completely demoralized, like a defeated rooster, Hua Xinning grew increasingly anxious, much like a eunuch who was more worried than the emperor. How could Hua Xinning not be anxious?

Lu Xiaojun cannot date Tusheng, so she cannot get rid of the other rivals. Xin Ning cannot get Tusheng because she firmly believes that Tusheng likes her and that they share the same feelings that transcend social status. It's just that too many girls are surrounding him, causing him to overlook her. Xin Ning thinks that as long as she gets rid of those rivals and then spends time persuading the usually easy-going Tusheng, she will eventually get him as she wishes...

However, the most crucial Lu Xiaojun has surrendered first, which makes Xin Ning, who has been devising strategies behind the scenes, exclaim in her heart, "We are ready to fight to the death, why has Your Majesty surrendered first!"

"Is Little Princess angry with Brother right now?"

Lu Xiaojun bit her lip and hesitated, then said to her best friend, "Xin Ning, I'll tell you a secret, but don't tell the teacher, you absolutely can't tell the teacher, otherwise I'll definitely lose points in the teacher's eyes..."

"So, who is Sister Xiaojun?"

Lu Xiaojun looked a little embarrassed, pinched her thumb and forefinger together in front of Hua Xinning and stammered, "It's just, just a little bit, just a little bit of anger, not much, only 0.0000...00001."

Xin Ning thought her best friend was really cute, even when she was angry she was cute. She really didn't understand why her brother was still torn between the bad Luo Yao who ruined her plans and the cute Lu Xiaojun. If she were her brother, she would have chosen Lu Xiaojun directly.

Of course, Xin Ning's opinion is highly subjective.

Seeing that Hua Xinning didn't speak, Lu Xiaojun hurriedly added, "It's really just a little bit. It's because the teacher really said something wrong this time. How could he think about dating two girls at the same time? People would laugh at him if they found out, and my parents would definitely be angry. So it's normal for me to be a little bit angry, right, Xinning?"

"That's what I say, but I don't know if my brother really thinks you dislike him, Sister Jun..."

Lu Xiaojun hurriedly waved her little hands and said, "How could I possibly hate the teacher? No, no, I like the teacher... it's just that I can't accept what he did..."

Hua Xinning walked behind Lu Xiaojun, grabbed a ponytail and shook it, sighed and said, "I know what use it is, the key is to let my brother know... Never mind, since you think it would be awkward to see my brother, Xiaojun, I'll go to him and explain it to you, otherwise it won't be good if he misunderstands."

Lu Xiaojun thought that would work, but then, as if remembering something, she turned around in her chair and instructed Xin Ning, "Xin Ning, you absolutely cannot say that I asked you to tell the teacher, and you also cannot embellish or say anything else..."

"What does Little Sister Jun want me to embellish?"

Lu Xiaojun didn't catch the teasing in Xin Ning's tone at first, and honestly said, "It just means I can't say I miss my teacher's embrace or anything like that... Ahhh, Xin Ning, you're going to die, you're so mean!"

After a playful fight, Hua Xinning and Lu Xiaojun left the room and opened the door, only to find Lu Chaoxiong pressing his ear against the door, while Mrs. Lu stood behind her husband with a helpless expression...

"Uncle and Aunt...I'll be going now?"

Lu Chaoxiong quickly coughed to cover his embarrassment at being caught eavesdropping, and said with a smile, "Um, would you like your uncle to have the driver take you home?"

"No need, Uncle, I can go back by myself."

"Um... Xin Ning, Uncle has something to ask you..."

Lu Chaoxiong glanced at his daughter's closed bedroom door and asked softly, "Is Xiaojun troubled by something? Your aunt and I both feel that Xiaojun has been acting strange since she came back from the concert last night. I asked her what was going on with that picture trending online, and she only told me that the girl was a friend of Tusheng's neighbor, who happens to be an artist, and that the three of them were photographed by paparazzi while having dinner together last night... But I feel like it's not that simple, so I wanted to ask Xinning if you know anything?"

Mrs. Lu also came closer to show her concern.

Hua Xinning knew she absolutely couldn't let Lu Chaoxiong know the truth, otherwise it would be very difficult for Lu Xiaojun to date her brother.

"Actually, what Sister Jun told Uncle and Aunt was right. Sister Jun looked strange just because she was upset after being photographed by paparazzi and the photos were posted online. She knows that when she goes back to school, a lot of classmates will ask her all sorts of questions, and Sister Jun doesn't like that..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chaoxiong and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. They did not doubt Xin Ning's words, because Tu Sheng was already Xiao Jun's boyfriend, so in their eyes, Xin Ning was no longer an outsider, but rather like a second daughter.

Hua Xinning thought for a moment, realizing that if Lu Chaoxiong and his wife asked her brother, he would definitely have a hard time answering. So she added, "Uncle and Aunt, I hope you won't blame my brother for this. He just wanted Xiaojun to get to know her old neighbors and friends. My brother already feels quite guilty for not protecting Xiaojun and letting her appear on camera..."

“We don’t mean to blame Tusheng. It happened so suddenly. Nobody expected the paparazzi to break in like that. So your aunt and uncle won’t blame your brother,” Mrs. Lu said softly.

After understanding that it wasn't a big deal, Lu Chaoxiong nodded.

Finally, Hua Xinning left the Lu family somewhat hastily, not because she had lied and was fleeing, but because she couldn't wait to throw herself into Tusheng's arms. Tusheng, having been neglected by two girls he loved, must be extremely lonely, and this was the perfect opportunity to take advantage of his vulnerability. While she wouldn't dare to directly push him down, she could certainly take advantage of his emptiness to be intimate, like giving him a kiss.

"Hey, Onii-chan~"

When I answered the phone and heard Xin Ning address me sweetly, I was stunned for a moment.

"Don't boys like hearing girls call them that, Onii...chan?" Xin Ning called out again in a cute way, making my soul go numb. Maybe I'm a voice enthusiast, or maybe the words "Onii-chan" are just incredibly powerful.

Regardless, my previously low mood suddenly lifted considerably, so I stopped working.

Why did you suddenly call me like that today?

"Hehe, I just wanted to make Onii-chan happy~"

Xin Ning is so sensible that it makes me want to cry. It's no wonder she's been spoiled; she didn't forget to comfort me when I was feeling my worst.

"Onii-chan, open the door quickly~"

"Open the door?"

I glanced at the villa gate instinctively; it was open. Then it suddenly dawned on me, and I said, "Xin Ning, I've temporarily moved out of that apartment because of what happened on the trending topics. Ye Zhi found me a villa with better privacy, and I'm staying there temporarily."

"Oh, I see... Then tell me the address, Onii-chan, I'll take a taxi there now."

Xin Ning is coming over... My first thought was of Bi Antong, who has always been at odds with Xin Ning, but Bi Antong probably won't be back for a while, so it shouldn't matter. As for the fact that Tongtong and I are still sharing a bedroom in this huge villa, let Xin Ning know if she finds out... Anyway, things have already developed to this point, and there's nothing I can't say. If Xin Ning really hates me because of this, she's already started hating me last night, so one more Tongtong won't make a difference... Of course, Xin Ning might not want to see my room.

"Onii-chan?"

I snapped out of my reverie and said, "Then let me know when you get to the entrance of the community, otherwise the security here is quite strict, and you can't get in even if you register."

"Okay, Xin Ning will be there soon~"

So I continued working. Recently, the recordings for the basic high school math and physics courses were completed. Before launching the chemistry courses, I also had to write supplementary teaching materials to accompany the basic chemistry courses. This is also a way to promote our brand courses, because users who purchase our supplementary teaching materials can listen to our courses by scanning the QR code in the book.

Our current plan is to record the basic courses for the four science subjects—mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology—before continuing with the recording of advanced courses, and finally analyze past exam questions. This approach not only helps students learn step by step in a down-to-earth manner, but it also represents a viable business model.

We have already signed an advertising contract with Milan's advertising company and booked the advertising locations and times. Once the chemistry and biology courses are recorded, we can start the official advertising campaign. At the same time, the teaching materials will also be sold on the online store.

I'm looking into online store resources. My initial idea is to collaborate with Jiang Yanyi's parents, since they have their own online store alliance. It's not really a collaboration, but rather we would be entrusting Jiang Yanyi's parents with the project. I think if it weren't for my good relationship with Jiang Yanyi, such a large online store alliance might not bother to collaborate with a fledgling brand like ours.

Suddenly I feel like Jiang Yanyi, the only daughter of the Jiang family... cough cough, should I try to get closer to her? Because Yanyi's connections are really appealing...

……

About twenty minutes later, Xin Ning called me to tell me that she had arrived at the entrance of the community, so I went out to pick her up.

"Hehe, Onii-chan, isn't it comfortable living in such a grand house all by yourself?" Xin Ning hugged my arm for a year, looking at the decorations in the house with some envy.

"Actually, it's not that I feel comfortable or uncomfortable. I'm used to living in a small apartment, so living in a big villa feels a bit awkward, especially when there are hardly any people around, it feels particularly lonely and boring..." I deliberately didn't answer Xin Ning's question about whether I lived alone. As long as she didn't ask, I didn't need to say anything.

"Then Onii-chan can let Ye Zhi-jie and Tong Tong-jie all move in! That would suit Onii-chan perfectly, and it would be lively and not lonely at all~"

I immediately looked at Xin Ning with embarrassment, only to see her looking at me with a teasing expression.

"Xin Ning... if you want to laugh, then laugh; if you want to blame someone, then blame me. Don't be so sarcastic, okay..." I suddenly felt disappointed. I thought Xin Ning came to comfort me, but even my closest friend Xin Ning was teasing me. I couldn't describe how I felt, because even my adopted sister Jiang Yanyi wasn't teasing me; instead, she was supporting me...

I pulled my arm away from Xin Ning's embrace and silently walked towards the sofa. Xin Ning became extremely anxious and quickly followed, grabbing my arm again and saying urgently, "Onii-chan, it was Xin Ning's fault. I talked nonsense. It was my fault. Onii-chan, please slap me, okay?"

As she spoke, Xin Ning grabbed my hand and slapped it against her cherry-like lips. I was startled and quickly withdrew my hand, then nervously reached back to gently touch her delicate, pink lips, which seemed fragile and easily hurt. I asked worriedly, "Xin Ning, are you crazy? Did you hurt me?"

"Compared to Onii-chan's heartache, Xin Ning's pain is nothing. It was Xin Ning's fault just now..." Xin Ning stood with her legs together, hands behind her back, head bowed, looking like she had done something wrong.

"It's alright, Xin Ning. I was just being too sensitive..."

I gently stroked Xin Ning's soft, smooth skin around her lips, trying to ease her pain. I've always felt sorry for her since she was little, and I can't bear to see her suffer any harm. Otherwise, the pain on her body is my pain.

"Does it still hurt, Xin Ning?"

"It doesn't hurt as much anymore."

Xin Ning smiled and sat down with me in her arms, saying, "Sister Xiao Jun has told me everything that happened last night... I don't know how to comment on Onii-chan's actions..."

I did not respond.

"But there's something I need to tell you, Onii-chan. That is, Kogun-nee doesn't hate you because of this. She just doesn't know how to face Onii-chan right now and feels awkward meeting you... Kogun-nee is actually really kind..."

"Yes, that's exactly the kind of girl Xiaojun is, but that's precisely why I feel even more guilty..."

"Then why doesn't Onii-chan choose Kogun-nee? Kogun-nee is the one everyone wants. Mom, Dad, Uncle, Aunt, and I all hope that Onii-chan can be with Kogun-nee..."

"Xin Ning, you're not me, you really can't understand me..."

Seeing that I looked sad again, Xin Ning quickly said, "Okay, Onii-chan, I won't talk about this anymore. You're feeling so bad, let Xin Ning comfort you, okay? Xin Ning's arms are very warm, come here."

Gradually, Xin Ning helped me to rest my head in her arms. The sweet fragrance of the young girl wafted over me, bringing warmth to both my body and soul.

"Relax, Onii-chan?" Xin Ning began to gently massage my temples.

"Ah."

Do you like it?

"Ah."

"It's just that Onii-chan rarely comes..."
