Ning Xingchen and Chu Yinuo left the restaurant and went outside. Ning Xingchen noticed the young beauty staring at him continuously, which made him feel a bit puzzled.
"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?" Ning Xingchen asked with a smile.
"Mr. Ning, your confidence and composure are impressive!" Chu Yinuo said, slightly admiringly.
"Do you think it's because I'm not afraid of that scumbag Murong Fei?"
"Exactly. The Murong family is one of the four major families in Donghai!" Chu Yinuo nodded.
"Heh, those so-called four major families and eight great families are all bullshit to me. When I have time, I'll wipe them out one by one," Ning Xingchen said with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
Chu Yinuo's pretty lips parted slightly, showing an expression of disbelief, because Ning Xingchen's tone didn't seem like he was joking, but rather that he was serious.
"Mr. Ning, I'm becoming more and more interested in you," Chu Yinuo couldn't help but say what was on her mind.
"Haha, looks like you're starting to be fascinated by me," Ning Xingchen chuckled.
"Of course not, I'm just curious about you," Chu Yinuo retorted, shyly refusing to admit that she already had a slight affection for Ning Xingchen.
"Miss Chu, since you're so eager, you can start working from tomorrow!" Ning Xingchen smiled.
"It's not that fast, I haven't even processed my resignation yet. It will take at least a week," Chu Yinuo said softly.
"Oh, no matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you!" Ning Xingchen said tenderly, with an infinitely gentle tone.
"Don't say such mushy things, I'm coming to work, not to marry you!" Chu Yinuo's pretty face blushed.
"It's the same thing, we're going to be together anyway!" Ning Xingchen said with a meaningful wink.
"I'm leaving now, I'll start work in a week," Chu Yinuo hurriedly left like a flustered little rabbit, afraid that Ning Xingchen's flirting would make her fall into the trap of love.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was evening. Ning Xingchen went to pick up Qin Bao'er and also planned to talk to Su Beauty about the tutoring job.
Ning Xingchen arrived a bit early, with half an hour left before class would end. He went to Qin Bao'er's class and found Su Zihan teaching English to the students, so he stood in the hallway, quietly admiring Su Teacher's exceptional beauty.
Su Zihan's English was extremely fluent, not the typical Chinese-accented English. If he guessed correctly, Su Zihan must have spent some time abroad.
Suddenly, Su Zihan felt a burning gaze from outside the classroom.
Subconsciously, Su Zihan glanced over and was a bit flustered to see Ning Xingchen, silently surprised—why was he here?
Since she last met Ning Xingchen, Su Zihan couldn't stop thinking about this rich and handsome man, not because she liked him, but because Ning Xingchen's skills left an indelible impression on her.
Su Zihan hadn't met such a young and powerful martial artist in a long time!
"Miss Su, Miss Su, you pronounced a word wrong, and you're reading the next passage!" reminded a top student in the first row, noticing Su Zihan was in a daze.
"Miss Su, are you okay?" another student asked in confusion.
"Ah!" Su Zihan snapped out of it, coughed lightly, and deliberately turned around to avoid Ning Xingchen's playful gaze.
...
Many students in the class were puzzled, not understanding why Miss Su, who was usually composed, made such a basic mistake and zoned out in class, which was unprecedented.
"Big bad guy, are you the devil?" Su Zihan thought secretly. She hadn't expected that just a look from Ning Xingchen could make her heart race uncontrollably!
"It's my brother!" Qin Bao'er, who was doodling on her textbook, also noticed Ning Xingchen in the hallway and shouted excitedly.
Qin Bao'er's brother?
Instantly, the whole class turned to look outside.
"Qin Bao'er's brother is so handsome!"
"His outfit is so tasteful, he must be from a wealthy family!"
"No, no, he might be a newly debuted celebrity, he looks like a lead in an idol drama."
Soon, the classroom buzzed with chatter, surprising Ning Xingchen, who hadn't expected to cause such a stir and gain a group of young fangirls.
Seeing the classroom atmosphere getting out of control, Su Zihan quickly restored order, came to the door, closed it, and gave Ning Xingchen a complicated look.
"Ignore the person outside, let's continue with the class!" Su Zihan said with authority.
Now, the whole class understood why Miss Su had zoned out—it was because of a man. Teenage students couldn't miss the hint of romance in the air!
Su Zihan tried hard not to think about Ning Xingchen, but his handsome face and charming smile kept popping into her mind.
So, she made more mistakes, reading the English text incorrectly and losing her place in the passage.
Finally, the bell rang, and Su Zihan breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing how many more mistakes she would have made.
As the students left the classroom, many outgoing girls gathered around Ning Xingchen, chatting non-stop.
Honestly, these middle school girls were just kids in Ning Xingchen's eyes, with no appeal whatsoever. Ning Xingchen smiled but was just being polite.
Meanwhile, Qin Bao'er felt proud and pleased that her brother was so popular.
Su Zihan walked out holding her books and saw Ning Xingchen surrounded by the girls, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
"Mr. Ning, do you have any business at the school?" Su Zihan asked, trying to sound cold and distant.
"I'm here to pick up Bao'er and talk to you about something, Miss Su, if it's convenient?" Ning Xingchen smiled, thinking that an exceptional beauty indeed never gets old, only more beautiful with each glance!
"Now?" Su Zihan asked.
"Miss Su, if you're busy, I can come back another day!" Ning Xingchen said politely, meaning no offense, just treating her as Bao'er's teacher.
Most men looked at Su Zihan with lustful eyes, but Ning Xingchen's gaze was clear and bright, different from the lecherous looks of other men, which was why Su Zihan had a good impression of him.
