He was immediately filled with joy at the thought that if Li Weiwei decided not to visit his home anymore, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Sure enough, after hearing Hao Jian's "story," Li Weiwei immediately changed her mind and said, "I'm sorry, Hao Jian, I won't be visiting your home. Hearing about this really upset and saddened me, and I feel guilty too. I hope you won't be too upset, as we all need to keep looking forward and make the most of each day."

Hao Jian pretended to understand and nodded, then said, "It's my fault; if I hadn't made so many mistakes, you wouldn't have wanted to visit my home."

Li Weiwei shook her head, indicating that wasn't the reason. Then, Hao Jian asked, "Can I call you Sister Weiwei?"

Li Weiwei raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

Hao Jian explained, "Growing up in that family, I was always bullied. Although I had older siblings, they never treated me as a younger brother; they just made me do all the chores and bullied me when there was nothing else to do. So, I feel like you're more like a sister to me, and calling you Teacher feels distant. Calling you Sister Weiwei would feel much closer."

Hearing this, although Li Weiwei slightly furrowed her brow, she nodded and agreed.

In fact, if truth be told, she wasn't much older than Hao Jian, at most by a year or two. After all, she graduated from college, pursued further studies, and then became a teacher. Upon graduating, she was already in her twenties, and after more studies, she was well into her twenties.

As for Hao Jian, he was about the same age as her, but he was pretending to be someone else and had lied about his age. He seemed much more mature than the other students, although his previous immaturities were all an act. If one must pretend, they must pretend well.

Hao Jian himself wasn't sure why, but he suddenly wanted to get closer to Li Weiwei, so he instinctively said those words.

Li Weiwei, after some thought, agreed with Hao Jian. After hearing his secret and knowing a more familiar relationship between teacher and student can be beneficial—being a teacher during class and friends afterward—it seemed like a good dynamic. Thus, she agreed with Hao Jian.

After hearing her consent, Hao Jian's face lit up with a smile.

"Sister Weiwei," Hao Jian called.

Li Weiwei nodded, returned the smile, and said, "Go back to class and study. If anything comes up, feel free to consult me. If you need to talk or express yourself, don't bottle things up too long. It's not good to keep everything inside; it's important to let it out sometimes."

Hao Jian nodded and went back to his classroom. Li Weiwei watched his back as he walked in, her gaze instinctively changed. She wondered if she had been too harsh on Hao Jian before and considered if there needed to be some change; otherwise, her guilt would remain.

Meanwhile, Hao Jian entered the classroom with a big smile on his face, already overjoyed inside. He couldn't believe how easily he managed to smooth things over, and now Li Weiwei wouldn't press him on the house visit, and likely her attitude towards him would improve, making his school days much better.

Sitting in his seat, he felt an overwhelming joy he couldn't express. When Fatty saw the happy look on his face, he asked if something good happened. Naturally, Hao Jian couldn't let anyone know about this, so he brushed it off casually. An entire lesson passed, and so did the evening self-study session.

During breaks, most students were buzzing about the events of that afternoon, particularly Hao Jian's daring bet with Gu Peng to have a confrontation next Friday at the school's back hill. They seemed most curious about this, energized every time they discussed it.

They were eagerly awaiting to see how Hao Jian would manage, daring to challenge Gu Peng, reputed as the number one student in the first year, especially with a plan for a group fight. They were all intensely curious about how this event would unfold.

They didn't truly want to see Hao Jian and Gu Peng fight; they wanted to see how Gu Peng would teach Hao Jian a lesson, humiliate him, and make him feel defeated so he could never hold his head high. That was what they wanted to witness.

In their eyes, how could Hao Jian possibly contend with Gu Peng? It was like a dream.

So, Hao Jian inadvertently became the hot topic on campus again. His situation with Li Weiwei had just settled when the discussion shifted to this new event.

This led Hao Jian to achieve his secondary aim; he had previously spoken out of turn, causing Li Weiwei to become a topic of discussion, and he had promised her that he would mitigate the impact. Now, due to his dealings with Gu Peng, people had largely forgotten about him and Li Weiwei.

After all, there are always many topics to discuss, and people get tired of them quickly. The sudden emergence of a new topic naturally overshadowed the previous one. So, even though Li Weiwei hadn't taken his promise seriously, Hao Jian had followed through.

Soon, the evening self-study ended. The classroom emptied quickly, as Hu Lai and Fatty left early due to prior commitments, and Liang Xiaohan messaged him during class that she left early for some matters. Zhang Danlin somehow also left immediately after class.

Thus, Hao Jian found himself all alone as the last person to leave the classroom. However, as he exited, he suddenly saw Li Weiwei.

Li Weiwei, at the same moment, laid eyes on Hao Jian and seemed taken aback. Perhaps she hadn't expected him to still be in the classroom at this time.

"Why are you still here?" Li Weiwei instinctively asked, surprised.

Hao Jian chuckled, "Aren't you still here too?"

Upon hearing that, Li Weiwei, for some reason, also smiled and then waved Hao Jian over, saying, "Come with me for a bit."

"Okay." Hao Jian responded quietly and followed behind Li Weiwei, as she led him outside the teaching building to a private faculty dormitory for teachers in no time.

Yawen, being a prestigious school with ample resources, offered benefits to homeroom teachers or long-term faculty like Li Weiwei, such as individual dorm rooms on top of their office space, a great perk for young teachers without houses, cars, or money after graduation.

Although it was just a small single room, it was a great benefit for young teachers without a house, a car, or money right after graduation.

Li Weiwei did have such a dorm room, but she seemed to have a car, suggesting her family might be financially well-off, so she didn't usually stay there and only stored a few things for occasional visits.

Now, she brought Hao Jian there, unlocked the door, turned on the light, and led him inside. Hao Jian entered, puzzled and unsure of what Li Weiwei intended.

Pointing to a chair, Li Weiwei said, "Sit down, I'll get something for you."

Hao Jian obediently sat down while Li Weiwei moved into a compartment to fetch something. Hao Jian couldn't see what she was doing from his seat, so he sat calmly, waiting outside.

In the meantime, he surveyed the teacher's dorm room, realizing Li Weiwei rarely stayed there, even though it seemed well-equipped. It appeared unused for a while, likely a place she'd only use when staying late at school and finding it inconvenient to return home.

Amidst his thoughts, Li Weiwei emerged with a stack of notes, which she placed in front of Hao Jian, saying, "These are my study notes, use them well. They'll definitely save you a lot of study time. Review them daily, and you can use your time for other studies."

Upon seeing this, Hao Jian was a bit disappointed, not expecting that she had brought him here for this purpose. At first, he wondered what it could be, but it turned out to be about studying again, which was irrelevant to him as he had no intention to study hard now.

However, recalling what he had said earlier and acknowledging her goodwill, it seemed ungrateful not to accept them.

So, he chuckled and said, "Thanks, Sister Weiwei."

Li Weiwei smiled and said, "Others would give anything to have these notes. I've given them to you, so use them wisely and don't let them go to waste."

Li Weiwei's academic background was notably high, admired among many teachers. Yawen had to offer her significant benefits to recruit her, as many schools sought her upon graduation.

Thus, what she said was indeed true.

Holding the notes, Hao Jian suddenly felt a bit undeserving.

Suddenly.
