Just as Ling Ziqian was speechless, an even greater tragedy occurred.

"Where's your courage? I'm taking it back too!" Cupid stood on tiptoe and flicked Ling Ziqian's forehead, giggling, "Who told you to touch my head like that? I'm a god!"

Ling Ziqian reached out, wanting to pat Cupid's head as a way of getting revenge on her.

However, he felt a little embarrassed and couldn't bring himself to extend his hand.

Okay, he's back to being the same old guy—ordinary, mediocre, and lacking courage when it comes to girls.

"Courage is something you have to rely on yourself!" Cupid was in a pretty good mood.

"Okay, Miss." Ling Ziqian scratched his head.

"Hmph, at least you got it right!"

Yu Meiren's voice came from behind, "What are you all dawdling for? Hurry up and eat dinner!"

Cupid ran over excitedly, and Ling Ziqian followed slowly.

"I told you, Cupid-chan is a god." Phantom Moon's voice appeared.

"Mm." Ling Ziqian nodded with a smile.

In the afternoon, if it weren't for Cupid's blessing, Ling Ziqian would never have let Yu Meiren call Su Mingxi.

If Yu Meiren hadn't made the call, she wouldn't have known what had happened at Su Mingxi's house.

Ling Ziqian didn't have the courage to go find Dou Xiaorong.

What will be the final result if you lack courage?

Will he and Dou Xiaorong have a permanent misunderstanding?

Will Su Mingxi be forced into marriage by her family?

In any case, Ling Ziqian felt fortunate that none of this had happened.

Perhaps Cupid foresaw all of this, or perhaps she had a bad feeling about it.

In short, it was the courage she gave that made things beautiful.

What is courage? Is it shamelessness? Confidence?

Ling Ziqian scratched his head, somewhat confused.

Let's leave this question for later exploration.

After finishing dinner, Ling Ziqian yawned and went to take a shower.

Lying in bed, the chaotic day is finally over.

Nothing was said that night, and the next day arrived.

Waking up from the urge to urinate, Ling Ziqian, with his hair all messed up, got up and went to the bathroom.

When she opened the door, Su Mingxi was standing there. She raised her hand to knock.

They were both startled by each other.

"You, how could you..." Ling Ziqian was speechless.

"Pfft..." Coming back to her senses, Su Mingxi saw the dazed Ling Ziqian and couldn't help but laugh. "Sister Meiren asked me to come and call you for breakfast, so I came a long time ago."

"I see," Ling Ziqian nodded, scratching his messy hair.

"I'm going downstairs first." Su Mingxi blushed slightly. "You should wash up quickly."

"Mm." Ling Ziqian nodded and watched Su Mingxi go downstairs.

Huan Yue laughed, "It feels a bit like living together!"

Ling Ziqian was speechless. "Don't talk nonsense!"

After washing up and eating breakfast, Ling Ziqian went downstairs.

Su Mingxi wore a youthful ponytail, dressed in her usual clothes, and wore an apron from the Yu Meiren Cake Shop.

She was efficiently collecting money from customers and packing cakes; you'd never guess it was her first day on the job.

"Have you ever worked part-time at other cake shops before?" Ling Ziqian guessed as he went to help.

"Mm." Su Mingxi nodded with a smile.

He guessed right. Ling Ziqian was speechless for a moment. Even after what happened yesterday, he and Su Mingxi were still not familiar with each other.

"Sister Mei and Xiao Ai went shopping." Standing behind the counter with Ling Ziqian, Su Mingxi blushed slightly and quickly told him this.

"Yes, you really came to the rescue. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to leave. If she wanted to go shopping or rest, she would have to close the shop."

With Ling Ziqian's approval, Su Mingxi smiled sweetly, "By the way, Xiao Rong said she invited Shen Qiaoyan to come here for tutoring."

Here?

Before Ling Ziqian could even be surprised, he saw Shen Qiaoyan's figure through the glass door of the cake shop.

Shen Qiaoyan, still sporting her short, ear-length hair and sportswear, smiled as she pushed open the shop door. "I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'll buy a cake!"

She was talking to Dou Xiaorong behind her.

After picking up a piece of fruit cake, Shen Qiaoyan walked towards the counter.

At that moment, she saw Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi.

"Ah!" Shen Qiaoyan was startled. "You, you two really are having an affair! I'll beat you to a pulp!"

"Hey, hey, hey..." Ling Ziqian felt like he had been shot by an arrow.

"Sister Xiaorong, don't come any closer, it's dangerous here!" Shen Qiaoyan cried uncontrollably, just like yesterday, worried about Dou Xiaorong.

Ling Ziqian was speechless, and Su Mingxi was extremely embarrassed.

Dou Xiaorong smiled and grabbed Shen Qiaoyan, "I've already explained it to you, it was a misunderstanding yesterday, a misunderstanding!"

"Yes, but..."

"No buts, this is Ziqian's family's shop. Mingxi works part-time here. From now on, the three of us will tutor you here, how about that?"

"Hmm..." Shen Qiaoyan looked at Dou Xiaorong carefully to make sure she was really alright before nodding.

The counter was large enough that Dou Xiaorong and Shen Qiaoyan also came in.

Even though Dou Xiaorong had explained it to Shen Qiaoyan, Shen Qiaoyan still looked at Ling Ziqian warily, as if she wanted to beat him up at any moment.

Ling Ziqian was speechless. He left the counter, went to get several cakes and milk, and placed them in front of Shen Qiaoyan.

"I'll treat you to a meal," Ling Ziqian said.

"Oh!" Shen Qiaoyan was instantly won over, and she flashed a bright smile. "Thank you, Master!"

Ling Ziqian was both amused and exasperated, and looked at Dou Xiaorong, "You eat too."

Dou Xiaorong wanted to shake her head, but under Ling Ziqian's stern gaze, she resentfully grabbed a piece of cake and took a big bite...

Episode 7 helps her become a top student

Chapter 49 How am I going to explain this to my family?!

Inside the Yu Meiren Cake Shop.

Shen Qiaoyan scratched her hair until it was all messy.

Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi stood aside, dumbfounded.

Seeing Shen Qiaoyan's frantic state, they were filled with headaches and countless questions.

How did this guy even get into high school?!

She is currently a second-year high school student, but she knows nothing about high school knowledge, or even some junior high school knowledge!

"During the high school entrance exam, I sat next to a top student..." Shen Qiaoyan muttered shyly.

"How dare you say that!" Ling Ziqian's eyes went black; this guy had cheated to get into high school.

Dou Xiaorong smiled beside her. She had tutored Shen Qiaoyan yesterday and knew about Shen Qiaoyan's situation.

"Waaah, studying is so painful, my head hurts!" Shen Qiaoyan whimpered, clutching her hair with both hands.

"You chose to learn it yourself, no one forced you," Ling Ziqian complained from the side.

Shen Qiaoyan glared at Ling Ziqian, "Master, how could you say such a thing!"

"That's the truth," Ling Ziqian thought to himself.

“My family are all teachers, and I’m such a bad student that they’ve always been ridiculed. So I have to study hard to bring them honor. Of course, I’m not studying for them; I have my own ideals too!”

Shen Qiaoyan spoke with a serious expression, and Dou Xiaorong and Su Mingxi were filled with respect for her.

Ling Ziqian nodded, "Since you know why you want to learn, then work hard!"

Shen Qiaoyan immediately looked miserable, "Waaah, Chinese is such a mess! Writing about the central idea, writing essays with so many words—I just can't do it! Math is even more annoying, so many formulas! English and stuff like that, it's absolutely inhuman! And history...my head hurts so much..."

Okay, I've run into someone who gets a headache whenever they study.

what can we do about it?

Ling Ziqian, Dou Xiaorong, and Su Mingxi looked at each other in bewilderment.

We've already tried some methods. It's not that Shen Qiaoyan doesn't want to learn, but rather that she feels unwell whenever she tries to learn.

"Waaah, Master, please tell me your method to instantly improve your grades!" Shen Qiaoyan cried out in anguish, pulling at her hair as she looked at Ling Ziqian.

"Well, hard work is my solution," Ling Ziqian said, scratching his head somewhat awkwardly.

"Liar!" Shen Qiaoyan glared at Ling Ziqian. "Grandpa has been mentioning you a lot these past few days, so I looked up your information. From junior high to high school, your grades were never very good, but suddenly you turned things around and successfully transferred from a trash class to a top class. You must have used a super awesome study method!"

Ling Ziqian couldn't believe it. "You actually managed to find my junior high school grades?"

Shen Qiaoyan said smugly, "Of course, I'm the teacher's granddaughter, and I know a lot of teachers from different schools!"

Okay, I've lost to this guy.

"In short, tell me your study methods!" Shen Qiaoyan looked at Ling Ziqian earnestly.

“I want to know too.” Su Mingxi smiled from the side; she was very curious about Ling Ziqian.

Ling Ziqian had a headache. They wouldn't believe him even if he told them he had a photographic memory.
