Editor: Atlas Studios

At Hotel W.

All the tables and chairs in the private room were made of rosewood. It looked vintage, luxurious, and extremely expensive.

It wasn’t a huge birthday celebration this year, so Old Master Tan didn’t announce it to the public. It was very low profile, and only two tables were filled. The people attending the birthday banquet were all important members of the Tan family’s linear and collateral descent.

Gu Mang and Lu Chengzhou couldn’t make it to the celebration as they were busy with research projects, so they called Old Master Tan to congratulate him instead.

When Tan Ying arrived at the venue together with Lu Guixin, everyone immediately stood up and politely greeted her with bent waists. "Ms. Lu."

Lu Guixin politely nodded. "Hello, everyone."

Old Master Tan put his hands atop his dragon head staff and sat down on the sofa. The small smile on his face widened, and his eyes twinkled with delight when he saw the girl. He looked at her kindly. "You’re here, Guixin. Quick, come here."

Lu Guixin obediently walked over to him and passed him the gift she had brought. "Happy birthday, Grandpa Tan. I wish you longevity and happiness."

Old Master Tan’s eyes were full of smiles as he held her hand and patted it affectionately. "Why bother bringing a gift? I’m happy that you came. Come, sit next to me."

"Mm." Lu Guixin then asked in concern, "How’s your health lately?"

"Good. It’s all good." Old Master Tan felt much more spirited upon seeing Lu Guixin. "Are you used to the life here in Ming City?"

Lu Guixin quietly placed her fingers on Old Master Tan’s wrist as she said with a smile, "Yeah."

The way she answered him was very similar to her mother, which made the smile on Old Master Tan’s deepen.

Upon confirming that everything was fine with Old Master Tan, Lu Guixin shifted her fingers away.

After exchanging some pleasantries, everyone moved to sit down at the dining table and toasted to Old Master Tan.

Things were very lively in the private room.

After the meal, everyone moved back to the sofa area, where they chatted over tea.

Old Master Tan chatted animatedly with Lu Guixin, who was good at everything youngsters liked except studying, and they chatted about everything except studies.

Old Master Tan even took out his phone and formed a team with Lu Guixin and Tan Ying to play the most popular shooting mobile game. His skills weren’t bad, which was totally unlike that of an old man in his eighties.

Everyone was getting along well. They all doted on Lu Guixin as if all she needed to know was to eat, have fun, and do whatever she liked without any worries.

At eleven o’clock, they were still happily playing the game.

The current patriarch of the Tan family hesitantly came over and said, "Dad, you should go back and rest now."

Old Master Tan glared at him. "Go back on your own. I’m going to stay in the hotel and play games with Guixin and the other kids all night."

Everyone went speechless when they heard that.

Old Master Tan was getting more willful as he grew older. As his body surely wouldn’t be able to take it if he stayed up all night, the patriarch looked at Lu Guixin for help.

Lu Guixin nodded slightly and then gently said to Old Master Tan, "Grandpa Tan, I’m meeting someone to help me with my studies tomorrow, so I can’t stay up to play games with you tonight. After this round, you should go home, and I’ll go back to school. I’ll go visit you another day, alright?"

"Studies?" This was the first time Old Master Tan heard her say this term, so he was surprised to hear that.

Lu Guixin nodded. "Yeah, my results are too lousy. I can’t keep up, so I want to study."

"I see." Although Old Master Tan knew that Lu Guixin’s results were bad, he didn’t see that as a problem—as long as she was happy, she was free to do anything she liked. That said, Old Master Tan supported her decision, no matter what. "Alright, I can’t be a burden to you, then. Since you want to focus on your studies, let’s stop after this round. Go back and have a good sleep, so that you can focus better tomorrow."

The patriarch shot Lu Guixin a grateful look.

Before Lu Guixin left, Old Master Tan gave her a few more words of advice, telling her not to tire herself out and that she had to take it slow with her studies.

Lu Guixin smiled.

It was only until half-past eleven that Lu Guixin and Tan Ying finally left Hotel W.

The Tan family’s car drove over and stopped in front of them. Tan Ying opened the door for Lu Guixin and put his hand on the ceiling of the car door to prevent her from knocking her head against it.

Meanwhile, at the parking in front of the hotel.

A young man was sitting in the driver’s seat of a car with his camera aimed at Lu Guixin and Tan Ying. He took several consecutive shots of them.

...

Xia Cheng had just finished doing a physics paper when her phone next to her vibrated. She picked it up and saw that she had received ten or so new messages—they were all pictures.

Xia Cheng smirked when she saw how intimately Lu Guixin and Tan Ying were behaving in the photos.

The photos even captured the time on the electronic screen in front of Hotel W. It was 11.30 pm.

Nobody will believe that nothing happened between them in the hotel. What’s more, she was seen coming out of a hotel with a player like Tan Ying late at night. Xia Cheng was now completely sure that it was the Tan family who had helped suppress the incident between Su Zeyue and Lu Guixin. She’d better not get close with Zhou Fu again, or I’ll expose these photos to the world.

...

When Lu Guixin returned to the school, she sent a bunch of messages to Zhou Fu as usual before taking her bath. There was no hesitation in her as she tapped her fingers quickly on the keyboard.

[Debtor: Are you asleep?

[Debtor: Are we going to use the classroom in the Year One or Year Three’s building?

[Debtor: What do you want to eat for breakfast tomorrow? I’ll go buy it for you. Take it as interest.

[Debtor: I’m a bit stupid. If I learn too slowly tomorrow, can you not scold me?

[Debtor: Obedient.jpg]

She then placed her phone on the table and went to the bathroom with her towel.

After she was done with her shower, she checked her phone for messages. She raised her eyebrows in surprise when she realized that she had two unread messages from Zhou Fu. She thought he wouldn’t reply to them.

[Creditor: Year One.

[Creditor: I’ll buy. Coffee and croissant?]

Lu Guixin smiled in satisfaction like a little fox that had gotten its way. She wiped her hair dry with the towel as she tapped on the keyboard.

[Debtor: Okay.

[Debtor: I’m super obedient.jpg]

Zhou Fu was leaning back against his chair when he saw Lu Guixin’s message. He slowly changed his sitting position and stretched out his long legs. He had thought that she would seize the chance to tease him by saying something along the lines of "Are you buying me coffee because you’re scared I’d get sleepy during the tutoring? Why don’t you just admit that you like me?"

However, she didn’t. It was just a very simple reply.

Zhou Fu lightly drummed his fingers against the table, his look unfathomable. After a while, he softly chuckled to himself.

...

The weather was good the next day. As the school was on break, there were only a few people in school.

At the Year One’s academic building.

The blinding morning sunlight lit up the corridors outside the classrooms. The building sounded especially quiet without the students, and the sound of birds chirping echoed along the corridor.

Lu Guixin went up to the highest floor, where the classrooms there were specifically reserved for students of all grades to self-study in.

Once out of the elevator, she found an empty classroom and then texted her location to Zhou Fu. Using a wet wipe, she cleaned the two seats next to the window and tossed her bag on the desk before sitting down and looking at her watch.

It was currently 7:55 AM. There were five minutes to go before their agreed time.

She propped her face upon her hand and looked out of the window while twirling a pen in her hand out of boredom.

In less than a minute of wait, she was suddenly hit by the fragrance of coffee. The door was kicked open the next moment.

She turned her head and saw Zhou Fu standing in the doorway with a hand in his pocket and his black backpack hanging on his shoulder.

He was wearing a dark jacket and black pants instead of his school uniform. He was tall and slim, and the warm sunlight did nothing to reduce his cold aura. His black hair was neat, his features were distinct, his neck was long, and his skin was fair. He was just that good-looking.

Lu Guixin smiled. "Good morning."

The classroom was white and brightly lit, and Lu Guixin, in a black baseball uniform, was sitting right next to the window with her short hair dangling at her shoulders. Her face was fair and clean, and her features were stunning. Hidden behind the gold-rimmed glasses were a pair of dark and clear eyes that were full of smiles. One could drown in them.
