Lu Jingci dodged away abruptly, the chair making a slight creak.

"What are you thinking?" His voice was a little unsteady, his gaze quickly shifting to the documents. "Get to the point, what don't you understand?"

Xu Wuning leaned closer, her long hair brushing against his cheek, accompanied by a delicate fragrance.

"here……"

Lu Jingci suddenly stood up: "I'll go get a glass of water."

"I'll help you." Xu Wuning immediately followed.

The two people's hands, one after the other, touched the same spot on the cup.

The touch of her skin came over him, and Xu Wuning's fingertips gently brushed across the back of his hand, as if unintentionally, yet also intentionally.

Lu Jingci's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice deepened: "Xu Wuning!"

"I was just trying to help you, why are you being so mean to me?" She blinked, looking completely innocent.

Lu Jingci took a deep breath, said nothing more, poured himself a glass of water, sat back down, and drank several mouthfuls before putting it down.

He coughed, keeping his voice steady, and looked at the spot Xu Wuning had just pointed to. "What does this mean...?"

"Wait, Professor Lu, I need to take notes."

Xu Wuning picked up her pen, about to write on the document.

The pen suddenly slipped from my hand.

"Oops, I didn't hold on tight."

She bent down to pick it up, but somehow her foot slipped and she completely lost her balance.

The next second, she sat steadily on his lap, in just the right position.

Lu Jingci froze, his hand hanging in mid-air, unsure of where to put it.

Xu Wuning didn't rush to get up. Instead, she slowly turned her head and looked at him up close.

Her eyelashes fluttered.

"Teacher Lu," her voice was soft, with a mischievous smile, "your heart is beating so fast, it feels like it's going to jump out of your chest."

She gently pressed her head against his chest. "Let me listen to you."

Lu Jingci trembled and suddenly grabbed her wrist, pulling her away from him.

Before Xu Wuning could react, she had already been pulled aside.

Lu Jingci closed his eyes, suppressing the turbulent darkness within them. When he opened them again, his expression was gentle as he said, "Are you still going to learn? If you don't behave, I won't teach you anymore."

His voice was serious, not at all like he was joking, and Xu Wuning didn't want to be kicked out.

She immediately and obediently raised her hands to her ears, her eyes sparkling, "Of course, I'll be very well-behaved."

As she spoke, she obediently sat down to the side, her back ramrod straight, her hands on her knees, looking every bit the model student.

Lu Jingci didn't say anything more. He looked at the documents in front of him, tapped the table on them with his fingertip, and spoke slowly:

"Regarding your question, you need to look at this cash flow statement. The operating cash flow for the first three quarters was..."

Xu Wuning leaned closer to look, her chin almost resting on his shoulder.

Lu Jingci subtly shifted to the side and continued, "Look at this note again. The other receivables item has doubled compared to last year..."

Xu Wuning listened quietly, then suddenly pointed to a certain part of the document: "Wait a minute, I didn't hear that."

Lu Jingci lowered his head and looked in the direction her fingertip pointed. "Where?"

Both of them leaned closer to look at the line of small print, their faces almost touching.

Xu Wuning's breath fell lightly on his cheek. "Right here."

Just as Lu Jingci was looking at the document and moved even closer...

Suddenly, Xu Wuning tilted her head slightly and kissed his cheek with a smile.

Lu Jingci froze, even his breath caught in his throat.

The air was silent for a few seconds.

Then he stood up, his lowered eyelashes obscuring his dark eyes. His movements were incredibly swift; he grabbed Xu Wuning's arm and pulled her up from the chair.

"Xu Wuning, get out."

His voice wasn't loud, but his face had lost all trace of gentleness.

Xu Wuning had already been pulled two steps towards the door by him.

Without hesitation, she grabbed his leg and started to fall, like a koala that refused to let go.

"No! I promise I'll listen this time, really, I swear!"

Lu Jingci looked down at the person hanging on his lap, his brow throbbing slightly. "Your words have no credibility whatsoever."

"But you're too handsome," Xu Wuning looked up, her expression both righteous and aggrieved, "I couldn't help myself, I didn't mean to."

As she spoke, she hugged him tighter and pulled his pants down, causing them to slip down a bit.

"Don't send me away, Teacher Lu, please give me another chance..."

Lu Jingci felt a buzzing sound in his temples.

"My pants, let go of them!"

He lowered his voice and quickly grabbed the waistband of his pants with one hand.

Xu Wuning shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum: "No!"

The hand pulled down even harder.

The two stood locked in a stalemate at the door for a long time, one pulling upwards and the other pulling downwards.

Finally, Lu Jingci took a deep breath, grabbed his pants with one hand, bent down, put his other arm around her waist, and lifted her up like an eagle carrying a chick, placing her neatly outside the door.

The moment the door closed behind her, Xu Wuning stood in the corridor, staring at the tightly shut door.

Then she called out loudly towards the door, "Aren't you going to teach me anymore, Lu Jingci?"

no respond.

She shouted again, "You're the most impatient teacher I've ever met!"

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, a low, husky voice came from behind the door: "I'll teach you during the day, but not at night."

"I'm going to take a shower. You go back to your room and get some rest."

Xu Wuning gritted her teeth.

……

Inside the room, Xu Wuning collapsed onto her soft bed.

She had become accustomed to her long history of failures and quickly returned to normal.

She opened her phone and sent a message to Su Wanyue: "I failed again. Lu Jingci is too hard to seduce, he's practically a monk."

Su Wanyue exclaimed, "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen you so persistent in doing something, failing repeatedly but never giving up."

"I remember when we were in school, Lu Jingci got first place once, and you got second place. You said you would never let him get away with it."

"Then you suddenly started pursuing him, and I didn't even realize it. I thought you were just playing around and liked his handsome face, but it turns out you're so serious."

"It's been almost two years. If he still doesn't agree, are you planning to pursue him for ten or eight years?"

Xu Wuning typed: "Just over twenty more days, it will be over soon."

Su Wanyue: "I might have believed you a year ago, but now, I don't believe you for a second. You've gone down the path of being a simp and there's no turning back."

Xu Wuning sighed: "You'd better wish me success in the future, otherwise I'll disappear from this world in a month."

Su Wanyue replied instantly: "If you can't win me over, you're not thinking of killing yourself, are you? Have you become so love-struck?"

Xu Wuning: "...Not really."

On the other side, Su Wanyue was so startled that she jumped out of bed.

No, no, her Ningning is completely obsessed with pursuing Lu Jingci, she has to think of a way.

She flipped through the photos of the male artists in her family's entertainment company, and her eyes lit up when she landed on the one in the middle.

This person looks somewhat like Lu Jingci, and with their similar gentle and refined temperament, if they dressed up properly, they would be at least 60% similar.

He's the one.

She typed: "Ningning, I'd like to invite you to afternoon tea tomorrow and give you a gift."

Xu Wuning didn't think much of it and immediately replied, "Okay."

Putting down her phone, Xu Wuning glanced at the time. Lu Jingci should be halfway through his shower by now, right?

She pushed open the door and crept furtively out of the bathroom.

The bathroom was filled with the sound of running water.

She pressed her face against the crack in the door and whispered, "Lu Jingci..."

After a while, a deep, husky voice came from inside: "What's wrong?"

Xu Wuning smiled and yawned sleepily, "I also want to take a shower, but you're taking too long. I'm a little sleepy, so how about..."

"Let's shower together."
