During the self-study class, Jian Dan and her two friends went to meet Teacher Zhang at the school gate as they had planned, but when they arrived, they discovered two cars parked there!
Xiaoting naturally recognized Teacher Zhangâs car, but whose was the other one?
The car window rolled down slowly, revealing that stunningly handsome face.
Uncle? What was he also doing here?
âWhy is Teacher Zhu here as well?â Xiaotingâs tone was somewhat cold.
Chu Liyuan glanced at her without responding and turned his gaze to Jian Dan, smiling at her.
Seeing that Zhu Rimen didnât speak, Zhang Yang explained, âThe principal arranged for Teacher Zhu to join us; having another teacher will be safer.â
âI see!â Xiaoting said, her voice laced with sarcasm.
âAlright, hurry and get in the car; we have quite a few places to go!â
Xiaoting and Ouyang Jing were the first to get in the car, with Xiaoting deliberately leaving the passenger seat open for Jian Dan.
âJian, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get in!â Xiaoting called out when she saw Jian Dan wasnât moving.
Jian Dan instinctively turned to look at Uncle.
It was clear from Uncleâs expression that he wanted her to get in his car.
âXiaoting, with Teacher Zhu alone, it doesnât seem right; Iâll go with him!â she said and then quickly settled into the passenger seat of Uncleâs car.
The moment Jian Dan chose to get in Teacher Zhuâs car, a hint of disappointment flashed in Zhang Yangâs eyes.
Seeing his lass get into his car, Chu Liyuanâs lips curled into a satisfied smile, and he affectionately stroked Jian Jianâs head with his hand.
He reached over from behind her to pull the seat belt, carefully buckling her in.
After securing the seatbelt, he held Jian Danâs hand in his palm while the other hand gripped the steering wheel.
âUncle, this car isâ¦â it didnât seem to Jian Dan that Uncle had this car before.
âJust bought it!â
âAh?â
âThis car fits a teacherâs image better!â
âTrue!â None of Uncleâs cars werenât limited editions; driving those as a teacher would indeed be inappropriate!
âUncle, so youâre going to the beach with us tomorrow too?â
âMhm!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThatâs great; itâs been so long since Iâve gone on a trip with Uncle!â
Chu Liyuan was very pleased with Jian Danâs responseâ¦
Xiaoting in Zhang Yangâs car was feeling very gloomy at the moment and took out her phone to send a WeChat message to Jian Dan: âJian, whatâs going on? You actually got into Teacher Zhuâs car?â
Upon hearing the WeChat notification, Jian Dan opened the app and her expression stiffened for a moment: âXiaoting, if all of us take Teacher Zhangâs car, it wouldnât be nice, itâs like weâre isolating Teacher Zhu.â
âThen why didnât you ask Ouyang Jing to go over?â
âYou guys had already gotten in the car; it wouldnât be nice to get out again, and Teacher Zhang might feel awkward. Donât you think?â
âBut I always feel like that Teacher Zhu harbors ulterior motives toward you!â
âXiaoting, youâre overthinking it! You think youâre in a TV drama or what?
Alright already, stop being so paranoid!â
âWhich little lass is the one who disapproves of me!â Uncle suddenly spoke up.
âUncle, how did you know she disapproves of you?â
âAnyone with eyes should be able to see that!â
âHehe~â Xiaotingâs expression indeed made it too obvious.
âSheâs worried that you, a middle-aged married Uncle, might deceive me, thatâs why sheâs acting like this!â
Jian Danâs words made Chu Liyuanâs expression darken in an instant.
A married middle-aged Uncle??
âUncle, that look on your face, itâs a bit scary!
Uncle, Xiaoting is just a young girl; you wonât take it to heart, right?â
Chu Liyuan took a sharp turn into an off-ramp and brought the car to a stop, skillfully unbuckling his seat belt and leaning in close to Jian Dan.
Jian Dan clutched the seat belt in front of her tightly, leaning back, but there was only the car door behind her, so she couldnât move back much.
Her heartbeat was racing faster and faster-
âMiddle! Age! Uncle!â Uncle enunciated each word.
So Uncle was upset about that.
Jian Dan wrapped her arms around Chu Liyuanâs neck, her face breaking into a sweet smile, âI like Uncle just the way he is!â
Because of that one sentence from Jian Jian, all his irritation vanished in an instant..
