Chapter 1: The Unlucky Academic Genius

  The scorching sun, Anle rode that bicycle with all its might, except for the bell not ringing, every other part was ringing. The slow speed wasn't because she didn't have enough strength, but because the pedals had fallen off, so she had to proceed with caution, riding on the shaded path, at first glance this was just like the beginning of a melodramatic romance.

  According to the plot development, in the next moment, a luxurious and excessive limousine will speed by, scaring the heroine to the ground, then from the car steps out some rich and handsome guy who falls in love with her at first sight…… (then omitting 10,000 words).

  However, all of this didn't happen, only a "bang" sound was heard, and the front wheel of An Lele's bicycle went flat. She pulled out the iron piece from the tire, looked at this road that seemed to lead to nowhere, and could only lower her head and push the bike forward with great difficulty. It was all because she had found a tutoring job in such a remote location.

  Nothing like the melodramatic plot twists in romance novels happened on her way forward, there were no tall, rich and handsome men or sudden appearances of wealthy tycoons, not even a single motorcycle, so she thought that all those plots in romance novels were fake.

  At this moment, her mobile phone rang to death, in the loud "International Song" ringtone, An Lele answered the phone with a lingering spirit, it was her best friend Mai Baobao calling.

  "Hey, what's up?"

  "The counselor will be here in half an hour, hurry back!"

  "I'm on Tupo Road and my bike is broken, I won't be able to get back!" An Lele complained.

  "Look at that broken bike of yours!!!” Ma Baobao's lips burst out with a sharp and accurate "broken", "It's not worth throwing away, even the trash collectors think there's too little scrap metal!"

  "Fine, I won't talk to you anymore. You don't have any sympathy at all." An Lele pouted and hung up the phone, pushing her cart forward.

  Half an hour later, An Lele appeared at her seat, rubbing the sleeves of her white shirt and rolling up her jeans. The fringe on her forehead was blown back in order due to her previous sprint. Her white canvas shoes were covered in mud, and she lay on the table, thinking that using a puddle of mud to describe herself wouldn't be an exaggeration - she was too tired!

  "Ah ah ah!" Mai Baobao looked at her with an extremely terrified gaze and said: "Gūliáng, what's going on? You look like you've been raped or something?"

  An Lele's mouth and nose suddenly turned into a spring, spouting water all over the table. She almost choked to death from this sentence, gasping for air. She coughed nonstop, pointing at Mai Baobao with trembling fingers: "It's all your fault!"

  Mai Baobao was about to say something when he glanced sideways and said in a low voice: "The instructor is at 9 o'clock."

  The two of them immediately sat up straight, and Counselor Cloud Teacher walked over in her high heels, striding to the beat, smiling as she said: "An Lele, come with me!"

  Her happy heart suddenly shattered like a bullet-hit glass bottle, "Bang" broken.

  She quickly flipped through her recent resume in her mind. In the past two weeks, she had committed a crime - being late to department meetings twice and was caught by the student management office. However, she had already made up for it by working hard as a volunteer at the student management office, so that shouldn't be a problem. Apart from that, she hadn't done anything wrong, and she even had an article published in the school newsletter, which was a great achievement. So what was this counselor's problem, smiling on the surface but hiding a knife?

  She followed Mr. Yun with a trembling heart, "Kill or cut, come quickly and painlessly!" she muttered to herself.

  Yun teacher smiled and asked her: "Lele, how much can you earn from this tutoring job per month now?"

  "About two thousand."

  "Quit!"

  "What? No way! I was still counting on this tutoring job!"

  "I'll find you a tutoring job that pays more."

  Two people walked into the office while chatting.

  "It won't work either, I promised someone to finish tutoring this semester."

  "Hmm, you're quite a trustworthy girl. So I'll ask you, don't you want to earn more money to treat your grandfather's illness?"

  "Think!" An Lele's head nodded like a garlic press.

  "Then listen to me and quit, it's also helping me out." Yun teacher smiled warmly.

  "It's rare to see someone who can't get by with money these days! I'll give you 4,000 a month."

  An Lele heard the words coming from a certain corner, she turned around to see a well-dressed, bronze-skinned, sword-browed and bright-eyed guy with a slightly arrogant nose bridge, pursing his lips, and standing with one leg raised, staring at her with the corners of his mouth raised. It turned out that this was the source of the sound, Mai Lele instantly fell into flower madness mode.

  But the next moment, she stared at him fiercely. How could such a good-looking mouth say such vicious words? She told the guy with her eyes, "Don't act like we're very familiar."

  Yun teacher smiled and said: "Lele, this is the new home tutor employer Jingyang I introduced you to."

  An Lele glared at him with a mixture of shock and fright, really wanting to make a "hate" gesture towards him, poking out his deep and profound eyes.

  "How's it going? An Tongxue?" he asked with a smile.

  An Le was filled with thoughts of his recent rudeness, her first reaction was to refuse, but thinking of her grandfather relying on expensive imported medicine every day to sustain his life, and her mother's pension being unable to cover it, she thought of yielding to this "evil force".

  But she immediately agreed, which made her seem so unprincipled. She turned around and looked at Cloud Teacher, saying: "Thank you, Cloud Teacher, I'll go back and think about it again."

  "Alright, get back to me as soon as possible."

  An Lele turned around and walked out, but didn't say goodbye to that lazy guy on the sofa.

  He stood up nonchalantly and said, "Yuni, is this guy really a bookworm? He looks a bit stupid, doesn't he?"

  "Jingyang, you've been abroad for too long! Anlele hasn't even left the ivory tower yet, and the unique purity she has is rarely seen. I can bet with you on this!"

  "Alright, alright, I'll leave first. You hurry up and let her go with me." Jingyang raised an eyebrow, revealing a mischievous smile.

  "Hey, what's wrong with you?!"

  "Wait for your news!" Jingyang waved his hand and disappeared from Yun teacher's line of sight.

  "Am I helping you or digging a hole for you!" Cloud Teacher muttered.

  She walked out of the office building with a huff, thinking she must have offended the god of bad luck that morning. "Seriously, how can there be such impolite people? Does inviting her to tutor require teaching 'Moral Ethics'?" She muttered to herself as she headed towards the parking lot, first needing to repair her poor little iron donkey.

  When she walked to her own bicycle, the scene in front of her made her feel extremely shocked. Her little iron donkey was intimately lying on a black sedan, and she suddenly felt like she had been electrocuted, with smoke coming out of her head. Should she take advantage of no one being around to slip away? How very immoral!

  To leave is not an option, nor is staying; what a contradiction!

  "Is this your bicycle?" A full, deep and uniquely masculine voice entered her ears.

  She hurried to find the source, and when she saw it, she couldn't help but frown, "It's really a lingering ghost" An Lele muttered in her heart, that arrogant guy actually chased here.

  He reached out to pull her bicycle away, saying "You didn't open it, are you waiting for a tow truck?" He looked at the several scratches and furrowed his brow, wondering how her little iron donkey had come into close contact with his car.

  He ran his long fingers over the scratch and said faintly: "Compensate five thousand!"

  "What? Five thousand?! Blackmail?!" An Lele jumped back as if she had stepped on a landmine, shrieking.

  He crossed his arms over his chest and patiently looked at her saying: "Then ask others how to compensate?"

  An Le immediately took out his mobile phone and called Mai Baobao, telling him what had happened. Mai Baobao asked: "What brand of car?"

  "Can't tell, it's a miscellaneous brand, either 'B' or '8' with two small wings."

  Jing Yang heard this and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, it was the first time he had ever heard that his car was a mixed brand.

  "An Lele, you're stupid, that's 'B'."

  No matter how I listen to An Lele, I always feel like Mai Baobao is scolding her "stupid cunt".

  "An Lele, this car is a Bentley. You could sell yourself ten times over and still not be able to afford one, do you know that? Hurry up and say something nice to them, I can only help you this far."

  She looked at the car with a bitter face, now she knew that the car in front of her was a luxury car, and it was too luxurious. As for how luxurious it was, there was no need to say, it was so luxurious that she didn't even know the brand of the car.

  She didn't give up, she thought of her boyfriend Sun Ze, and quickly called him to come over. When she saw him hurrying over, she felt a lot more at ease, but Jingyang's eyebrows furrowed in annoyance.

  Sun Ze walked closer and shouted angrily: "Are you stupid? Seeing a car like this, you don't detour, but instead stick to it."

  An Lele was apparently startled by Sun Ze's performance, "I, I didn't, when I parked the car, there was no car here."

  "So you're saying that someone's car scratched your bike?" Sun Ze asked back. An Lele was already resentful, and when she heard Sun Ze say this, her tears fell instantly. She cried and said: "Why did I take a detour? Was I intentionally trying to scratch it? How can you talk like that? You leave, I can handle it myself."

  "I'm too lazy to bother with you!" Sun Ze turned and walked away without looking back.

  An Lele cried even more sorrowfully because of Sun Ze's "helping outsiders but not relatives" at this moment. Jing Yang was stunned by the scene in front of him, and he shook his head as he looked at Sun Ze's back, An Lele's sobbing seemed to make his heart skip a beat.

  An Lele wiped away her tears with her sleeve and said: "Sorry, I don't have 5,000..."

  "How many do you have?"
