Chapter Fifty-Five: Date

  She suddenly turned around and saw a boy staring at her with an unfriendly expression. The boy was not tall, less than 1.6 meters, wearing ripped jeans, a black T-shirt, and had chestnut-colored hair that was soft like cat fur, making Su Yun strongly resist the urge to touch it. The young boy was a pretty boy, with features that were still developing, very delicate, big eyes that were very light in color, shining brightly. Due to his pale skin, he gave off a tender feeling, but indeed, he was only thirteen years old.

  When Su Yun was sizing up the little boy, the little boy had already finished his appraisal and disdainfully curled his lip, humming a sound: "Come down, my mom is calling us to eat!" After speaking, he went down by himself. Su Yun raised an eyebrow, oh? The kid actually dared to look down on her!

  At the dinner table, Yu's mother was very enthusiastic and let Su Yin eat whatever she wanted. She was especially doting on Little Zhengtai. It seemed that Su Yin shook her head in her heart, sighing at how spoiled he was! Little Zhengtai didn't like to eat green peppers and carrots, so he picked them all out of his bowl. Yu's mother scolded him in a low voice, but Little Zhengtai ignored her and continued doing his own thing. This was actually very similar to someone else, Su Yin couldn't help but smile secretly, but was caught by Little Zhengtai, who glared at her fiercely and put down his chopsticks, no longer picking at his food and swallowing it quickly without chewing much.

  Su Yin smiled secretly, this little guy was still very stubborn, really, how to say it, quite cute! After finishing dinner and resting for a while, Su Yin was about to bid farewell. Yu's mother didn't make much of an effort to persuade her to stay, and asked Little Zheng to send her out to hail a taxi.

  Originally, I thought Xiao Zhengtai wouldn't agree, but unexpectedly he got up and walked out without saying a word. Su Yin followed behind him at a moderate pace. Xiao Zhengtai led her around a corner, then suddenly stopped and turned to stare at her. Su Yin smiled and asked, "What's wrong?" Xiao Zhengtai glared at her like a cat, his voice still soft and gentle, but his words were quite impolite: "I don't need tutoring!"

  Su Yun smiled: "As long as your mom needs it, that's all!" Xiao Zhengtao didn't expect her to answer like this, and he was taken aback for a moment. Then his face turned angry: "You quit, I'll give you the money!" Su Yun laughed even more happily, shaking her head: "No way, if I take someone's money, I have to be loyal to their affairs!"

  Little Zhengtao didn't expect her to be so stubborn, and anxiously said: "What do I need to do? You tell me!" Seeing him get anxious, Su Yin stopped teasing him and asked: "If you use money to get rid of me, your mom can just invite another one over. At that time, will you also get rid of others like this?" Little Zhengtao was taken aback, lowered his head and didn't speak. His stubborn little face looked very cute.

  She couldn't help but be curious, and this matter was also very interesting. Su Yun decided to help him come up with a plan, so she asked: "Why don't you want tutoring?" Little Zhengtao rolled his eyes: "Didn't I say so? I don't need it!" Su Yun smiled mischievously: "But your mom said that last semester's mid-term exam, you scored 19 points in English!"

  He brushed it off, and Xiao Zhengtai became a red apple. He stuttered: "This, that, that, that's just..." Su Yun interrupted him and continued: "But your other grades are very good, and you often get full marks in liberal arts! Before this, your English shouldn't have been bad, but when you entered junior high school, it suddenly started to decline significantly. Your mom thought it was because of the transition to a new school, that you weren't adapting, but actually, it wasn't like that, right?"

  Xiao Zhengtai stared blankly, his eyes wide open as he looked at Su Yin. His expression made Su Yin laugh like a cat who had stolen cream: "So what's this unmentionable reason of yours? What is it?" Xiao Zhengtai's face turned bright red, and with an angry look on his face, he said: "It has nothing to do with you!"

  "Alright, alright! Not my business! Shall we talk about something?" Xiaozheng looked at her warily and asked, "What's there to talk about?" Su Yun smiled secretly and said, "You see, I need a job, and you don't want your mom to keep inviting other tutors to bother you. Isn't this perfect? If I become your tutor, your mom won't look for others anymore, and I won't control you either. You can do whatever you want! As long as you agree to one condition from me, we'll make a deal. How about it?"

  Xiao Zhengtao lowered his head, thought for a moment, and finally looked at her firmly, asking: "What conditions?" Su Yin smiled: "For you, it should be very simple. If you can score 19 points three times in a row, that's already impressive! However, I want you to guarantee that during the time I'm your tutor, each test score will increase by more than ten points, and finally, you must score over 101 points, okay?" Xiao Zhengtao thought again, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

  Su Yun stretched out his right hand, and Xiao Zhengtao stretched out his left hand, shaking hands firmly. Su Yun grinned: "Nice doing business with you, Yu Qian!" Having reached an agreement, the two parted ways. Starting from next week, Su Yun would come to tutor for two hours every Monday to Friday, and on weekends, he would choose one day to tutor for eight hours, taking the other day off.

  Yu was reading at an international school, received elite education from a young age, did not attend early morning and evening self-study sessions, but his free time was filled with various supplementary classes. Yu's mother had high expectations for her son and demanded more, so she was particularly generous when it came to tuition fees, which were higher than elsewhere. In the conversation, Yu's mother subtly mentioned that some applicants had come in recent days, but she was not satisfied with any of them.

  Boys love to play, but it's not good for Yu Chen to indulge in games. Girls who are too flashy and flirtatious won't do either, what if they corrupt Yu Chen? Su Yin listened with a bitter smile, how did her own rustic nature become the winning strategy? Is this what they mean by "using an unexpected move to gain victory"?

  Sitting on the bus, Su Yun let out a sigh of relief. Work was done, but there was still one more thing to take care of. She pulled out her phone and made an appointment with Su Cong. The other party agreed happily, their tone overly sweet and mushy. After hanging up the phone, Su Yun shuddered violently, covered in goosebumps.

  She made an appointment with him at the coffee shop, and as soon as she walked in, Su was already there. The speed is so fast! Facing Su's surprised eyes, Su chuckled: "Can't let my girlfriend wait, right?" With one sentence, Su lost his strength, lying on the seat like a dead dog, not lifting his head for a long time, muttering: "Su, what are you going to do?"

  Su Cong said firmly, "Haven't I told you countless times before? I'm chasing after you!" Su Yin let out a mournful cry and finally lifted her head to say seriously, "Su Cong, we've been childhood friends for so long, can't you just be straightforward with me? What do you want from me?" Su Cong chuckled and leaned in close, asking, "You really don't believe I'd like you?" Su Yin retorted directly, "Unless your eyes are blind!" Su Cong was taken aback, then his face turned cold as he sneered, "You're quite self-aware, aren't you?"

  Su Yin didn't play along with him, asking: "So, speak up!" Su Cong leaned back in his chair, staring at Su Yin, seemingly lost in thought. Suddenly, he burst out laughing, stroking his chin, and sizing Su Yin up and down, saying: "You look very spirited today, very tasteful." Su Yin forced a smile: "Hehe, thanks for the compliment!"

  "So, just pretend to be my girlfriend for half a day and go on a date with me!" Su Cong said with a sly smile. Su Yin was shocked and furrowed her brow, staring at Su Cong and saying bluntly: "Su Cong, it's not your eyes that have a problem, but your brain!" Su Cong ignored her and stood up, beckoning Su Yin to walk with him.

  Looking at the lively scene in front of her, Su Yun was certain that Su Cong had indeed become silly! A giant Mickey Mouse mascot happily handed over a balloon, which Su Yun didn't have time to deal with. Su Cong took it and stuffed it into Su Yun's hand, holding onto her other hand and walking directly inside.

  Su Yun was unwilling a million times, but after taking the Cloud Soaring Roller Coaster once, all that unwillingness was thrown to the back of her mind. Su Yun went crazy playing, even crazier than Su Cong! Just getting off the roller coaster, the two found a shaded place to sit and rest.

  Su was about to go buy some drinks, Su Yin responded casually and continued to look down for tissues. Just then, some weirdo had spat saliva from the front that landed on Su Yin's glasses! Suppressing her disgust, Su Yin took off her glasses and wiped them clean. Suddenly, a can of Coke rolled to Su Yin's feet with a "clunk". Hurriedly putting back on her glasses, Su Yin looked up to see Su Cong standing there in a daze, then suddenly bent down to pick up something that had been thrown away.

  Su Yin let out a silent sigh of relief as she took the drink from him. The two of them sipped their drinks in silence, the atmosphere suddenly becoming awkward. Just then, an ice cream truck happened to drive by, and Su Yin's eyes widened with excitement as she stared at it, her gaze following its movement. The ice cream truck stopped beside a small store, and many children and couples rushed over to buy some, Su Yin watching wistfully. Su had been paying attention to Su Yin since morning, and couldn't help but chuckle out loud at her silly expression. Su Yin felt embarrassed by his laughter, turning her head away and scratching her hair.
