Huh? Why does it feel kind of awkward...

  Su Year year uncomfortably pulled at his clothes corner, Emperor's power reappeared in his mind, and he began to imagine what Gu Zi Chen would do next...

  Following the usual shoujo manga or idol drama setting, what comes next is a forceful wall slam, a passionate confession, a romantic kiss, and a lifelong commitment, from then on living happily ever after...

  Su Niannian was lost in her daydreams and couldn't snap out of it until Gu Zichen walked up to her.

  "Suyan, what are you fantasizing about again? You're so ridiculous it's laughable. Do you think I'm desperate enough to settle for just anyone?" Gu Zichen said bluntly. Suyan rolled her eyes at him, "Mind your own business, I wasn't even thinking of you!"

  These words have a taste of "this place has no silver three hundred taels", and Su Niannian feels even more ashamed in her heart, why did she fantasize that Gu Zichen was the male lead!

  She's going crazy, she patted her own face with her hand and walked into the office with a look of resignation.

  Gu Zichen pushed open the door and walked in with big strides, rummaged through the redwood bookshelf for a moment, and tossed out a book to Su Nianian.

  Su Year took over with a puzzled expression and was speechless in front of this "National Middle School Students' Moral Education Foundation Regulations".

  "What's this for?" A bad premonition arose inexplicably.

  "Look at you, always thinking about all sorts of nonsense. Let me help you clean up your mind and recite the first 100 lines for you."

  Pfft——

  Su Nian's eyes widened in surprise, "You're not joking with me, are you?"

  "What do you think?" Gu Zi Chen looked at her with a calm and collected expression.

  Su Yearn yearned to cry without tears, "No, I don't want to carry this on my back, it feels so stupid..."

  "What right do you have to haggle with me?"

  Su Nian suddenly spoke up, "What if I were to turn it around? Would you agree to tutor me then?"

  The fifth move of the male god's strategy: beat the snake on the stick! Follow the vine to find the melon! If not now, when?

  To sum it up, Su Niannian is now preoccupied with the idea of tutoring to the point where she has neglected Gu Zichen's faintly visible smile at the corner of his lips.

  "Alright, Su Nianian, you recite it first." Gu Zichen's dark belly attribute burst out, but Su Nianian heard it and thought it was interesting, immediately sat down on the sofa beside him and started reciting.

  But she flipped through the book and read no more than two lines before feeling like she had overestimated herself...

  Ugh, looking at these dense characters makes me sleepy, and how come they're so hard to memorize... I'm going to die! I'm going to die!

  She couldn't hold on for a few more minutes and soon became drowsy, rubbing her eyes with her small hands before collapsing onto the sofa.

  Gu Zichen, who was sitting in front of the desk, seemed to have anticipated it, pursed his lips, and took a thin blanket that had been prepared early and walked over.

  Su Nian had already fallen asleep. In order not to wake her up, he tried his best to keep his movements gentle and carefully covered Su Nian with a quilt.

  After doing all this, he squatted down and carefully looked at Su Niannian's sleeping face.

  Maybe it's because she has been studying too hard recently, but when she falls asleep, her delicate eyebrows can't help but wrinkle up, and her slender chin looks even thinner, looking very tired.

  Gu Zichen stretched out his hand, and just as he was about to touch her face, his slender fingertips paused in mid-air before slowly retracting back.

  Hmph, she's sleeping like a dead pig, I reckon even if we sold this pig, she wouldn't know.

  He returned to his position, as aloof as ever, but the tenderness at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes couldn't be hidden.
