The tutoring ended in bed.
When Xie Xingran left, he told Jiang Mu that if she did this again, he would not tutor her anymore.
Jiang Mu assured that she definitely wouldn't do that again.
Xie Xingran's face still didn't look very good, but he didn't look like he was angry.
Jiang Mu hugged his arm and said with a chuckle, "Just think of it as a reward for your tutoring. You don't have to feel bad about it."
Xie Xingran glared at her angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Jiang Mu blinked, "Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's go home."
Xie Xingran took a deep breath. He really had no way to deal with Jiang Mu.
Before they even walked out of the community, Jiang Mu called out to Xie Xingran to carry her.
"It's all your fault for trying too hard. I can't even walk now."
Jiang Mu's tone was delicate, and she frowned and rubbed her legs as she spoke.
Xie Xingran's expression was stiff. After thinking for a while, he had to agree to carry her out of the community to take a taxi.
When Jiang Mu lay on his back, she placed her fingers on his earlobes, stroking and kneading them.
Xie Xingran's earlobes are very sensitive, and every time Jiang Mu touches him, he feels like he's getting an electric shock.
Jiang Mu, however, took this as fun and found it amusing to see him blush.
Xie Xingran stopped and said in a low voice, "Stop touching me."
Jiang Mu said reluctantly: "Why? Just now on the bed, you obviously liked me touching your ears."
Xie Xingran: "…"
Jiang Mu: "Look, you agree."
"No." Xie Xingran said in a deep voice.
"You're lying. Every time I touch your ears, you react more enthusiastically."
Xie Xingran's face began to turn red.
"Stop talking."
Jiang Mu held back her laughter and asked him, "Xie Xingran, do you like me very much?"
Xie Xingran paused and did not answer.
Jiang Mu lay on his shoulder, with her chin on his neck, her lips brushing his skin, and said softly, "I like you very much."
Xie Xingran was a little surprised.
He really wanted to know what Jiang Mu's expression was when she said this.
But he couldn't see it.
Xie Xingran didn't say anything for a long time.
Jiang Mu stopped talking too.
The two of them walked the entire distance in silence.
When they reached the roadside, Xie Xingran put Jiang Mu down.
Just then a taxi drove by, Jiang Mu stopped it and said, "Then I'm leaving."
Xie Xingran thought about it and just said "hmm".
Jiang Mu smiled at him and said, "Then let's meet here tomorrow at 2pm."
Xie Xingran nodded.
Jiang Mu opened the car door and got in, while Xie Xingran stood there.
Xie Xingran did not move until the car disappeared at the end of the road.
Jiang Mu's words just now kept ringing in his mind.
Does she really like him?
Xie Xingran felt that he couldn't understand Jiang Mu.
Her liking might not be what he wants.
Xie Xingran felt uncomfortable.
It's not that he didn't think about staying away from Jiang Mu, but he couldn't help but want to get closer to her.
Ever since they had sex, he has cared about her even more.
Even every time he went up and down the stairs, he would take a look at Jiang Mu's classroom.
Xie Xingran thought about it for a long time and finally sent a message to Jiang Mu.
Xie Xingran: [ Are you serious about what you said? ]
Jiang Mu was stunned when she saw the message and did not immediately understand what he meant.
She replied with a question mark first, but Xie Xingran didn't explain.
It was not until she got home that she figured out what Xie Xingran was asking.
She replied: [ Of course ]...
I am serious about liking you, and my love for others is not fake either.
It's just that I like too many of them, I can't count them on one hand.
Jiang Mu thought heartlessly.
But she didn't know how much impact her reply had on Xie Xingran.
After meeting the next day, Xie Xingran asked Jiang Mu which university he was going to apply to and whether she had any plans to study abroad.
Jiang Mu said directly: "Going abroad? I don't have such an idea. If I want to go to university, I think I will apply to Tsinghua University. What about you?"
Xie Xingran glanced at her with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Jiang Mu didn't care. She took out the test paper and several difficult questions she had accumulated and prepared to ask Xie Xingran for help.
Xie Xingran was a little absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Seeing that he was distracted, Jiang Mu deliberately moved closer to him and suddenly called his name.
As expected, Xie Xingran raised his head subconsciously, and his lips touched hers.
Jiang Mu pretended to be surprised and looked at Xie Xingran and said, "You kiss me!"
Xie Xingran looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Mu continued to act: "I knew you would take advantage of me by giving me tutoring."
Xie Xingran: "…"
He looked at her speechlessly, not even bothering to say anything in defense.
"But it doesn't matter. I like you to kiss me." Jiang Mu hugged his neck. "How about this, let's go to tutoring first. When you finish explaining the questions to me, I will cooperate with you in whatever you want to do."
Jiang Mu drew out the last syllable of her voice, and her soft and clingy appearance made Xie Xingran's heart burn with passion.
After finishing two test papers, Jiang Mu felt tired, so she put down her pen and sat on the sofa to rest.
She took out her cell phone from her schoolbag and wanted to play a game.
As a result, she saw a lot of unread messages on WeChat, so she went to check WeChat first.
Recently, in order to prepare for the exam, the number of people she chats with has dropped from double digits to single digits.
The ones that remain are the best of the best fish.
The kind that you can't bear to throw away.
Wen Fei is one of them.
Recently he has been wanting to meet Jiang Mu, but was rejected by Jiang Mu.
However, thinking of the other party's gentleness and handsomeness, Jiang Mu couldn't bear to ignore him, and the two of them still maintained close contact.
Before going out, Jiang Mu told him that she was going to tutoring.
But Wen Fei didn't know that she had asked the school's most handsome boy to tutor her, and probably thought she was at the teacher's house.
It was time for dinner, and Wen Fei asked her when the tutoring would end.
Jiang Mu didn't feel hungry at first, but suddenly she wanted to eat something.
She replied: [ It will probably be evening soon, but I plan to have dinner first. ]
Wen Fei replied quickly: [ What to eat? ]
Jiang Mu: [ I don't know, I'll order takeout. ]
Jiang Mu looked up at Xie Xingran: "Xie Xingran, I'm hungry, do you want to eat? I'll order some takeout and we can eat together."
Xie Xingran was grading Jiang Mu's test paper. After hearing Jiang Mu's words, he shifted his attention from the test paper to Jiang Mu.
"Well, let me do it."
Xie Xingran was not going to let Jiang Mu pay. Jiang Mu paid for the B&B, so of course he had to pay for the meals.
"No need, let me do it." Jiang Mu had already opened the food delivery app.
Xie Xingran frowned: "What do you want to eat?"
Jiang Mu: "I'll order a few dishes and two cups of milk tea... Do you want some stir-fried beef? Let's order some braised spareribs and loofah soup, and some lion's head. I've had the lion's head at this restaurant and it's pretty good."
Xie Xingran felt that it was too much and was about to say that he couldn't finish it.
Jiang Mu said, "Okay, I've ordered four dishes and one soup, perfect. I'll buy some fruit to eat after dinner."
Xie Xingran glanced at Jiang Mu's figure and asked, "Do you eat so much every night?"
Jiang Mu: "Not really. I used my brain too much today. I need to replenish my energy. And I might need to do some physical exercise later."
Jiang Mu spoke in a serious tone. It took Xie Xingran a while to understand what physical exercise she was talking about.
Jiang Mu replied to Wen Fei only after she ordered the takeout.
Wen Fei just asked her where she was taking tutoring classes and if it was nearby, would she like to have dinner together?
Jiang Mu replied: [ I have already ordered takeout, I will eat with my classmates. ]
When Wen Fei saw the message on his phone, he looked a little disappointed.
He hasn't seen Jiang Mu for some days.
Although the two of them talked every day these days, Jiang Mu was too busy with her studies, so they had much less time to play games.
Wen Fei always wanted to confess his love to Jiang Mu seriously the next time they met, and he told Jiang Mu that they would be together after she graduated.
But there was no chance to meet again.
Wen Fei thought for a moment and said, "Do you still need tutoring tomorrow?"
Jiang Mu: [ No need tomorrow, I will review at home tomorrow. ]
Wen Fei: [ I want to see you and tell you something. ?
Jiang Mu: [ Do we have to meet and talk about it? ]
Wen Fei: [ Well, I can only tell you in person. ]
Jiang Mu immediately realized what Wen Fei was going to say.
She didn't want Wen Fei to confess to her at this time, and she couldn't possibly agree to be with him, but she could also guess that Wen Fei would not say that they wanted to be together now, and would at least wait until she graduated.
Jiang Mu guessed Wen Fei's thoughts very accurately, but Wen Fei had no idea what Jiang Mu was thinking.
He never thought that Jiang Mu would be unwilling.
Jiang Mu hesitated whether to agree to the meeting and didn't know how to respond.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Xie Xingran walking up to her with the test paper.
Seeing her staring at her phone in a daze, Xie Xingran glanced down.
I saw Jiang Mu chatting with someone on WeChat.
He should have looked away and not looked at other people's privacy, but he stared at Jiang Mu's screen for a while as if possessed.
Then we saw the conversation between Jiang Mu and Efei.
Xie Xingran frowned.
"Who are you talking to?"
Xie Xingran's voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Mu was startled. She retracted her hand, turned the phone over and covered it on the sofa.
"What's wrong?"
Xie Xingran stared into her eyes.
Although Jiang Mu was frightened, she looked very calm and did not feel guilty at all.
Xie Xingran hesitated for a few seconds and asked again: "Who are you chatting with?"
Jiang Mu: "Friends."
The string in Xie Xingran's heart seemed to break, and his mood was a little strange, full of irritability, anxiety and vigilance.
He didn't know why, but he began to suspect that Jiang Mu was treating more than just him like this, and whether he had sent those photos to other people.
Xie Xingran knew that it was wrong to think this way, but suspicion spread uncontrollably.
This was the first time Xie Xingran realized how strong his desire for control was.
He held back, controlled his emotions, and whispered, "Do you still want me to tutor you tomorrow?"
Jiang Mu: "No tutoring tomorrow. Didn't we agree to tutoring on Friday and Saturday?"
Xie Xingran: "I'm free tomorrow. If you're free, we can make it up tomorrow."
Jiang Mu shook her head: "No, I want to stay at home."
Jiang Mu's refusal made Xie Xingran think that Jiang Mu must be going to meet the person on WeChat.
Xie Xingran's expression turned somewhat gloomy.
He said nothing more.
Jiang Mu also noticed his change and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Can't you live without seeing me for a day?"
Xie Xingran glanced at her and did not deny it.
Jiang Mu thought Xie Xingran was weird.
However, she still did not agree to come for tutoring tomorrow.
Although she don't know whether she can meet Wen Fei or not.
The room became very quiet. Xie Xingran didn't say anything and Jiang Mu was also thinking about something.
Jiang Mu stood up and went to the bathroom with her cell phone.
Xie Xingran looked at her back with an unpredictable expression.
Jiang Mu didn't reply for a long time, and Wen Fei was not feeling well either.
He suddenly wasn't so sure whether Jiang Mu liked him.
If you like him, why don't you even make time to meet him?
Wen Fei felt that he had become very passive.
He even thought of a sentence: "She doesn't really like you that much."
Jiang Mu put several layers of paper towels on the toilet and then sat on it. She was thinking, why not just eat Wen Fei.
After eating, you won't miss it anymore, and there's no regret in leaving later.
While she was hesitating, Wen Fei sent two more messages.
Wen Fei: [ If you don't want to, I won't force you. ]
Wen Fei: [ It's getting late. I'm going to eat. Let's talk after you finish your tutoring. ]
Wen Fei's tactic of retreating to advance was effective.
Not only will it not put pressure on people, but it will also make people feel embarrassed to refuse him.
Jiang Mu saw through it but still fell for it.
Then let's meet.
Jiang Mu: [ Of course I wouldn't be unwilling. ]
Jiang Mu: [ Brother, do you know why I have never agreed to see you? ]
Jiang Mu: [ Actually, I really want to see my brother, I miss you every day. I'm afraid that after I see you, I will want to be with you every day, but I have an exam coming up soon, I can't be distracted, woo woo woo. ]
