When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1378 Unrequited Love 32
They were so close, almost every inch of their bodies were pressed together, and she naturally felt the change in a certain area. Xu Yanzhen nervously looked up at Zhou Jinxu, only to see his tight jawline and taut lips.

She instinctively tried to back away, but her lower back and the back of her neck were completely restrained, and she couldn't escape Zhou Jinxu's embrace at all.

Zhou Jinxu also looked down at her. When he saw the nervousness and shyness in Xu Yanzhen's eyes, his ears turned red for the first time ever. He stroked Xu Yanzhen's back with his large hand and said, "I like you so much. I'll be fine in a little while."

Xu Yanzhen was even more uncomfortable than him, and in the end she could only bury her face in Zhou Jinxu's neck, clearly acquiescing to Zhou Jinxu's behavior.

Zhou Jinxu smiled and looked down, wrapping his large arm around her waist while gently kissing Xu Yanzhen's hair. This result was far better than he had expected.

Were you scared?

Xu Yanzhen remained silent, but clenched her small fist and punched Zhou Jinxu's back. The force of her punch made her hand go numb.

But for Zhou Jinxu, it was like a tickle. He chuckled twice, then hugged Xu Yanzhen and rocked her back and forth: "I won't say anything more."

"Yan Yan, I really like you."

Xu Yanzhen didn't speak, but after Zhou Jinxu calmed down, she tugged at his sleeve and said, "I should go in now, I have class tomorrow morning."

Zhou Jinxu released her, now behaving like a gentleman. He bent down slightly to meet Xu Yanzhen's gaze: "Then you have to reply to my message."

Xu Yanzhen's eyes darted around, glancing at Zhou Jinxu before quickly looking away: "I know, I always reply to your messages promptly."

Seeing only shyness in her eyes, Zhou Jinxu was completely relieved. He ruffled Xu Yanzhen's hair one last time and pushed her into the room: "You go in first. If you keep watching me, I might not be able to leave tonight."

Xu Yanzhen slammed the door shut, realizing that Zhou Jinxu knew how to flirt. She never expected someone who was always so abstinent and polite would say such things.

The door closed in front of him, and Zhou Jinxu raised an eyebrow. He had never seen Xu Yanzhen like this before. She seemed more at ease in his presence? This was a good thing; it meant they were getting closer.

Xu Yanzhen stood in the entryway and only opened the door when she heard the elevator arrive. Zhou Jinxu was about to enter the elevator at that moment. Hearing the movement inside, Zhou Jinxu turned to look.

Xu Yanzhen poked her head out from inside the door. She glanced at the elevator, then looked at Zhou Jinxu and said, "Take care on the road. Good night."

Zhou Jinxu's smile slowly appeared, and he whispered, "Good night."

As Xu Yanzhen entered the room, Tan You suddenly said jokingly, "What you two just did was almost like the Eighteen Farewell Scenes."

"Teacher Tan!" Xu Yanzhen stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger: "I didn't!"

Tan You didn't dwell on the topic, but instead got down to business with Xu Yanzhen: "I recently made some money. Didn't you plan to help those students from impoverished families? How are you going to help them?"

Xu Yanzhen quickly regained her composure: "Teacher Tan, what's your suggestion?"

Tan You recounted how she used to lead students in making food carts, but Xu Yanzhen shook her head: "That's too complicated, and if I let the students do it, I'd have to go with them every night."

"I can't stay up late anymore."

Tan You knew that she had another concern: if she really ran a food cart, she would spend more time with the students, which would mean less time for her and Zhou Jinxu to spend together.

“Then let’s put it on hold and just give us the money.” She snapped her fingers. “You can set up a scholarship fund at the school to help students from impoverished families who are also motivated.” “I’ll do a background check to make sure every penny I earn isn’t wasted.”

Xu Yanzhen nodded: "That's good."

She was a little embarrassed: "If that's the case, I'll get all the good reputation. This is money that you, Teacher Tan, worked so hard to earn."

Tan You didn't care: "Money is meant to be spent, and I think it's worthwhile to use it for charity. As for not being known by outsiders, I don't care about that."

Xu Yanzhen smiled and said, "Then I'll go to the school tomorrow and talk to the head of student affairs, Ms. Tan, how much money do you need?"

Tan You: "Not much at the moment, about 500,000 RMB."

"How much?" Xu Yanzhen exclaimed, "I've worked so many years, saving every penny, and I've only managed to save a few hundred thousand. And you..."

"Making money is really easy for those in finance."

Tan You tempted her: "Envious? Want to learn?"

Xu Yanzhen gritted her teeth: "I will learn! Teacher Tan, please don't think I'm slow-witted."

Tan You liked Xu Yanzhen's eagerness to learn, so Xu Yanzhen immediately took another course in finance.

When Zhou Jinxu sent her a message saying he was safe, Xu Yanzhen was reading a book. Originally a humanities student, she was finding this course quite difficult.

Zhou Jinxu's text message was a lifesaver for Xu Yanzhen. She was slumped over her desk, dejectedly texting Zhou Jinxu: "Just glad you got home safely. Goodnight."

Zhou Jinxu quickly replied: 【Good night.】

Xu Yanzhen pushed her phone away: "Teacher Tan, this is too difficult. I'll start with the basics. Can you recommend some books?"

She knew it would be difficult, but she didn't give up right away, which Tan You admired. She sent over a list of books, and Xu Yanzhen's eyes darted around before she posted it on her personal social media.

If Zhou Jinxu saw this book list, what would he do? Would she be considered...fishing?
Zhou Jinxu naturally saw Xu Yanzhen's post. He stared at the book list for a long time before finally smiling.

"Assistant Wu, I'm sending you a book list. Please have it ready before you leave work tomorrow."

The assistant, who was sweetly chatting with his girlfriend, respectfully agreed. As for the boss calling him in the middle of the night, that was just a regular occurrence, since the other party was the boss.

If a special assistant isn't on call at all times, wouldn't that be a disservice to his multi-million dollar annual salary?
While Xu Yanzhen and Zhou Jinxu were on a sweet date, Jin He and Wen Huizhen also met on Valentine's Day. Let's rewind to 5 PM, when Jin He was about to leave work.

The receptionist called to say that a Ms. Song was looking for him. Kim Hyuk couldn't help but think of his youthful days, and his sixth sense told him that the person looking for him must be Moon Hye-jin.

Sure enough, it was Wen Huizhen who pushed open the door and entered. Twenty years had passed, and even with Wen Huizhen's excellent skincare routine, the passage of time was still visible on her face.

Fine lines had appeared at the corners of her eyes, and her facial muscles had become somewhat loose. Although she had gained the charm of a mature woman, she was still different from the one he remembered.

As Kim Hyuk looked at Moon Hye-jin, another image of a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in his mind.
