We ordinary people also need to fall in love.

"How about you ride in my Maybach after school next Friday? I feel a little bad riding in your car to and from school every week."

Lan Shiyu arrived at Li Mubai's house over the weekend.

"No."

Only Lan Shiyu, with a skin thicker than a city wall, wasn't embarrassed at all about hitchhiking. If it were Li Mubai, he would rather take the bus.

"By the way, are you quite familiar with Xie Shu?" Lan Shiyu suddenly asked.

"good."

"Does she not use QQ much? Or does she have a main account and a secondary account? I see that her current QQ account is relatively new and has a low level."

"Maybe... there are different accounts," Li Mubai said uncertainly, as he hadn't yet noticed Xie Shu's QQ account information.

"Oh~." Lan Shiyu looked enlightened. "No wonder none of my friend requests were accepted. So that's why."

It's hard to say. Maybe Xie Shu just didn't agree. Anyway, if Li Mubai sends a QQ message to Xie Shu, he should get a reply within a day at the latest.

You said a day is too long? Even good students don't use their phones all the time.

It's time to go back to school.

"Li Mubai, why are you carrying a potted plant?" Lan Shiyu asked, noticing that Li Mubai had a bag in his right hand and a tote bag containing green potted plants in his left.

"Let them stay at school so they can look at some greenery to soothe their eyes when they get tired of studying," he said casually.

"Remember to call me when it blooms."

"Um."

Li Mubai didn't go straight back to his dormitory. Instead, he went to the classroom and, when no one was around, placed the potted jasmine on the windowsill. Right now, only the branches and leaves are visible; it will bloom in May.

The first evening self-study session on Sunday usually involves watching the evening news.

Wu Changguo took scissors and a watering can to the windowsill. His wife loves growing flowers at home, and he also "voluntarily" learned some flower-growing knowledge.

The potted plants at school are mainly shade-tolerant, drought-tolerant, hardy, and not easy to kill, like cacti, pothos, aloe vera, and jasmine... jasmine?

"Who brought these two pots of jasmine?" Wu Changguo turned to the classroom and asked loudly.

One arm slowly rose, while the other arm moved without much hesitation.

"Oh~" A commotion immediately erupted in the classroom.

"Everyone, please be quiet and continue watching the news broadcast."

……

Wu Changguo summoned Li Mubai to his office:

How many students have signed up for the study tour?

"Fifteen."

"There aren't enough people. Less than half of them won't be able to go, as you probably already know. Next Friday is the deadline. Give me the registration list that day, and also collect the money."

Study tour? If Xie Shu isn't going, should he still go? He probably should; as the class monitor, he should set a good example.

"Okay, teacher."

"Jasmine is hard to grow," Wu Changguo said casually. "You and Xie Shu each brought a pot."

"..." Li Mubai lowered his head, unsure of what to say.

"Alright, go back to your studies."

Watching Li Mubai leave, Wu Changguo seemed lost in thought.

"Li Mubai, Xie Shu, you guys..." As soon as evening self-study ended, Chen Qiuhe turned to look at them.

"What a coincidence, Class... Xie Shu." Li Mubai subconsciously wanted to call out to the class monitor.

"Yes." Xie Shu also smiled gently.

Chen Qiuhe was even more shocked. What did she just hear? Li Mubai didn't call Xie Shu "Class Monitor" anymore? Could it be... that they've already secretly gotten together?

Chen Qiuhe is not the only one with this idea.

After evening self-study ended, Li Mubai pushed open the dormitory door and was met with Yang Kun and his group, who were waiting in full force.

"I went to the prison! You really got the XS!" Yang Kun exclaimed excitedly.

"You're really getting to eat well," Jiao Yong said with envy.

"That's not true." Li Mubai chuckled dryly. How would they know the meaning of jasmine?

"Really not?" Clearly, they didn't believe it at all.

"coincide."

Li Mubai didn't care whether they believed it or not; everything would come to light once Xie Shu left the country.

Everything was the same as usual, with no major changes: studying, eating, sleeping, studying...

Li Mubai simply studied even harder. Perhaps this was his way of escaping reality, or perhaps he believed that his current efforts would give him the courage to stand before her in the future.

But what kind of liberal arts major could enable a child from an ordinary family to earn millions?

If a family can own two luxury cars worth two million each, it proves that the family's assets should be in the tens of millions.

It seems earning a million isn't enough for him, ten million? Will he ever earn that much? That's wishful thinking.

Let's try our best first.

Wu Changguo even brought fertilizer and fertilized the two jasmine plants, looking much more professional than Li Mubai.

Xie Shu's jasmine is a single-petaled variety, while Li Mubai's is a double-petaled variety; there are subtle differences.

Xing Yi returned this week after reflecting on his actions. Li Mubai saw him in the cafeteria, and Xing Yi noticed Li Mubai as well. He avoided eye contact, indicating that the previous week had caused him considerable psychological trauma.

Wednesday is Qingming Festival, but there is no holiday. Thursday and Friday are the monthly exam days. Although the questions have become more difficult, Li Mubai feels good about himself.

He thought time would just slowly pass by, until the final moments brought all the stories to an end.

But on Friday afternoon, the last exam was English, and the person sitting in the first seat didn't show up until the exam bell rang.

What did Xie Shu do?

Some unpleasant thoughts popped into his head, but he shook his head to clear them from his mind and decided to focus on the exam first.

Ring ring—

"The exam is over. Please stop writing immediately."

What did Xie Shu do?

He handed in his paper and was eager to run back to his dorm to find out what was going on on his phone.

"Hey, Li Mubai! Teacher Wu was just calling you." A girl called out to the flustered Li Mubai.

"Oh well."

For the first time, I felt that being a class monitor was a very troublesome thing.

Surrounded by classmates eager to go home after finishing their exams, he headed in the opposite direction to the office.

dong dong dong.

Push the door open.

"Teacher, you wanted to see me."

"Yes, these are the materials the school prepared for Xie Shu, but Xie Shu has already gone home. Her parents need them urgently, so they asked me to deliver them. I'm quite busy, so could you run an errand for me and deliver them to her?"

Wu Changguo didn't even lift his eyelids, staring at the computer screen, his fingers tapping away, seemingly busy with some work.

"Send materials?" Li Mubai asked, puzzled.

"Yes, I see that your address is not far from Xie Shu's house. I'll deliver it to you after school today, or tomorrow, and give it to Xie Shu this weekend."

Go to Xie Shu's house? Go to Xie Shu's house!

His heart skipped a beat, and a hesitant look appeared on his face; he wasn't ready yet.

No, this might be an opportunity, a chance to discuss it with her parents.

Will it be useful? Won't they see it as their daughter's early romantic interest, kick her out of the house, and then notify Li's parents?

"If it's inconvenient for you, that's fine. I'll call a delivery person." Wu Changguo made a gesture as if to take back the materials.

"Teacher, it's convenient for me."

He took the materials, made a decision, and sighed, "When you meet your beloved cat, it's best to make a decision as soon as possible."

"Alright, then you should go back now." Wu Changguo nodded calmly. "By the way, do you know where Xie Shu lives?"

"No..." He wanted to say he didn't know, but fearing that Wu Changguo wouldn't let him deliver it, he quickly changed his words, "I know."

"Hmm—" Wu Changguo pondered for a moment, "I'll send you the address. Please confirm it and make sure you don't go to the wrong place. Also, don't tell anyone else."

"Okay, thank you, teacher!" Li Mubai said solemnly.

"Go quickly."

Wu Changguo urged, seemingly even more anxious than Li Mubai. Watching the latter's departing figure, he leaned back in his office chair and let out a long sigh.

He's not blind. After being a homeroom teacher for so many years, he can tell at a glance who's dating early and who's showing signs of it.

But as long as it doesn't affect his grades or cause too much trouble, he turns a blind eye.

He was subjectively opposed to Xie Shu's decision to study abroad, and he had even advised Xie Shu's mother against it. This was his only trump card!

The school leadership has announced that for every student admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University through the national college entrance examination, the homeroom teacher will receive a bonus of 300,000 yuan! Who would complain about having too much money?

He believes Xie Shu is the most promising and has the best chance of success. Although Xie Shu did well in the previous three-school joint exams, the results were slightly lenient, especially considering that some local high schools are gradually rising in the province.

In the quiet office, Wu Changguo smiled.
