The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

"Brother Lu, what big shot have you messed with? If all else fails, should we go and beg for their help?"

"How should I ask?"

"Kneel down!"

Lin Yu spoke excitedly beside Lu Yuan, his eyes filled with genuine emotion.

"Are you coming with me?"

"Do I have to kneel too?"

Looking at Lin Yu's expression.

For a moment, Lu Yuan couldn't tell whether he was genuinely stupid or just pretending.

"Lin Yu, how did we start talking back then?"

"I borrowed two hundred yuan from you."

"Two hundred yuan isn't enough, is it?"

"I had spent all my money on games and loot boxes, and I had no money for food. You were my savior!"

Lin Yu, a man as tall as an iron tower, had tears welling up in his eyes as he spoke.

Lu Yuan tugged at his arm:

"Don't cry yet, did you give me back the two hundred?"

"Not yet."

"Where's the money?"

"Unpacking the box."

Lin Yu chuckled and patted his chest, promising to pay back the money next month.

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at him, staring intently into his eyes as he spoke seriously:

"No need to pay it back. Two hundred yuan for a day of yours. Go and keep an eye on Su Ming. Wherever he goes, you go too."

"receive!"

Lin Yu immediately saluted on the spot.

You ask him to deliver food, and he either works in the wind or in the rain.

If you let him do Su Ming, he'll be like a man possessed.

"Brother Lu, are you still going to deliver food?"

"I'm going to find a big shot."

"Are you sure you don't want me to kneel down with you?"

"Remember this: your brother Lu will never ask for help from anyone in his life."

...

Ning Yan took the afternoon off today.

He kept a close eye on Shen Jia's every move through the home surveillance footage.

I watched helplessly as Shen Jia cleaned everything from the kitchen to the living room and then to the laundry room.

Is he possessed by an evil spirit?

She believes in feng shui and is wondering if she should find someone to do her feng shui.

Ning Yan was secretly calculating in her mind when she looked down and saw Shen Jia going upstairs in the surveillance footage.

She immediately put down her phone and pretended nothing had happened.

"Come in."

A knock sounded at the door, and Ning Yan pretended to have just woken up from a nap, calling Shen Jia in.

"I want some money."

"Is your living expenses insufficient?"

"I found a tutor for one-on-one tutoring."

???

Ning Yan frowned.

One-on-one tutoring wasn't enough to make her frown; what truly made her frown was:

"You want to go to tutoring classes?"

She had tried to find tutors before, but they always ended with Shen Jia skipping class.

She only managed to hold out for one day at most, and that time she slept through an entire class period in front of the teacher.

"Is it not allowed?"

"Okay, go ahead."

Ning Yan transferred the money with a wave of her hand, staring blankly at Shen Jia's back without saying a word.

Seeing Shen Jia walk out of the room, he immediately got up and started changing his clothes.

She wanted to follow them and see what kind of trouble Shen Jia was up to.

...

"Does tutoring also need to be supervised?"

Shen Jia walked out of the villa area and immediately saw Lu Yuan waiting behind the door.

"How can we know if you're studying hard without supervision?"

"How long am I going to hold out?!"

"The college entrance examination is over."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded, pointing to his electric scooter.

The only time Shen Jia ever rode an electric scooter was when it was a long-distance trip.

I've gotten used to sitting like this.

The two rode off on their electric bike.

Not far behind them, an L9 followed at a moderate distance.

This is Old Shen's grocery shopping vehicle; even if it's discovered, no one will know that Ning Yan is the driver.

Because she never drives this car.

She sneered twice from the driver's seat, watching the two figures sitting on an electric scooter in the distance.

He revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."

She knew Shen Jia would never reform; he definitely wanted money to go out and have fun.

To be honest, she wasn't interested in what young people did.

What could there be? Nothing more than movie theaters, amusement parks, and arcades.

But as she followed along, she realized something was wrong.

"XinXin Education?"

Looking at the spot where the electric scooter had stopped, Ning Yan scratched her head.

Is it really a tutoring center?

She found a spot to park her car and waited for a full twenty minutes before going inside.

Go straight to the front desk upon entering.

"Hello, I'd like to ask what the man and woman who just went in were here for?"

"May I ask who you are?"

"I am that girl's parent."

The receptionist immediately looked enlightened.

She had seen this situation before; do parents crack down on early romantic relationships?

"Your daughter's name is Shen Jia, right?"

"right."

"She has one-on-one math lessons on the second floor."

"Where is the boy?"

"Accompany and supervise."

Something is wrong!

Ning Yan looked as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

The teacher in charge saw this situation.

I was just about to contact the teacher upstairs to call Shen Jia down.

Unexpectedly, Ning Yan quickly waved her hand and said no, then instructed the teacher in charge not to mention that she would speak for herself.

One person hurriedly walked out and returned to the car.

She still couldn't believe that Shen Jia would turn out like this.

...

"Don't waste your time."

Break time between tutoring sessions.

Shen Jia nudged Lu Yuan, who was dozing off beside him, and said quite frankly:

"They won't believe I'll get better."

Shen Jia thought about it for a long time and could roughly guess what Lu Yuan meant.

Trust is something that is built up over time.

Lu Yuan rubbed his eyes, forcing himself to cheer up.

As expected, I still can't shake the habit of getting sleepy as soon as I listen to a lecture.

He said, "If you only change things for one day, people will only think you're plotting something even worse."

"I can't keep going."

Shen Jia had tried to repair her relationship with her family.

But it seems that no one noticed her change at all.

They don't praise you when you do something well, nor do they scold you when you do something bad; you only get a little attention when you go astray.

"Persistence itself goes against human nature; people need positive feedback to persevere."

Lu Yuan waved his hand, signaling Shen Jia not to think about things that way.

Just focus on your studies.

...

Ning Yan watched Lu Yuan and Shen Jia walk out of the tutoring center through the car window.

I looked down at my phone and glanced at the time.

Exactly two hours.

They actually lasted for two hours?

She didn't start the car immediately, but silently watched Shen Jia get into the taxi and leave.

Lu Yuan stood still, looking around as if searching for something.

She pressed the horn as if on cue.

He thought to himself, "So that's why they did this after they discovered her arrival."

Lu Yuan followed the sound of the horn and walked over, standing outside the car window and saying something out of the blue:

"Would you like to learn?"

"Who knows if he's deliberately putting on an act for me?"

Does it matter whether you act or not?

Lu Yuan neither proved himself nor refuted the claims; instead, he threw the question back at Lu Yuan.

This sentence immediately shut Ning Yan up.

Yeah, does it matter?

Does it really matter whether Shen Jia acts or not, as long as he behaves well?

Ning Yan took a deep breath and voluntarily lowered her haughty attitude.

"What should I do?"

"She cooks a late-night snack for her family before bed, and we praise her for it."

"and then?"

"That's all."

That's all?

Ning Yan tilted her head in disbelief, wondering if Lu Yuan was teasing her.

But Lu Yuan waved his hand and left.
