At this moment, on the other side, after dinner, Shen Yaoyao remembered that she was still in a cold war with Nangong Yunhai, because she didn’t want to continue pretending with him. However, her lips were softened by the food from the other party; she hadn’t stopped eating his stuff these past few days.

She was conflicted about whether to continue the cold war.

"We’re just pretending. Don’t worry, I won’t fall for someone so quickly." Nangong Yunhai suddenly spoke up.

Shen Yaoyao was stunned for a moment, staring at him with wide eyes. Could he read minds? How did he know what Shen Yaoyao was thinking?

"I know you heard my conversation with Grandpa." Nangong Yunhai’s face showed no expression at this moment.

Shen Yaoyao attempted to read something from his eyes, but alas, she couldn’t perform mind reading. They stared at each other for a minute, and then... then Shen Yaoyao blushed!

Shen Yaoyao cursed herself for being spineless inside, while Nangong Yunhai’s lips curled up slightly, forming a beautiful arc.

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about," Shen Yaoyao started to play dumb.

"Do you really not understand, or..."

Nangong Yunhai reached out to hold Shen Yaoyao, stopping just an inch away from her face. The breath he exhaled hit Shen Yaoyao’s face, causing her to blush even more. Shen Yaoyao closed her eyes in anticipation, thinking he would kiss her, but instead...

Nangong Yunhai suddenly let go of Shen Yaoyao. She opened her eyes to see him with a faint smile, feeling both awkward and disappointed inside.

The whole way, Shen Yaoyao was sullen. Was it because he didn’t kiss her? No, the person she liked was Chu Ge. She wouldn’t have any thoughts about other guys.

But Shen Yaoyao couldn’t understand why people are so open these days.

That night, Shen Yaoyao slept rather restlessly.

The next day, she woke up early, not because she couldn’t sleep, but because she had a daunting task today.

Arriving at the designated place precisely at eight, only Heaven knows what possessed Shen Yaoyao to secretly follow Chu Ge and sign up for Taekwondo.

She had been striving to become more ladylike, though the results had been far from satisfactory. But knowing that Chu Ge was a part-time instructor made her impulsively follow and learn Taekwondo with him. She knew Chu Ge was really skilled, and she wanted to become like him, or at least be able to stand alongside him.

Time did not allow Shen Yaoyao to continue feeling proud of herself. Looking at the classroom filled with slender waists, they were all here for Chu Ge.

Absentmindedly, she touched the slight bit of fat on her belly, feeling frustrated. Since when did she gain weight!

"Hello, are you signing up for the Taekwondo class?" a delicate-looking young girl came over to greet Shen Yaoyao.

"Hello, I’m here for the Taekwondo class," hurriedly pulling out a flyer that read Eva Taekwondo Training Institute, "This is yours, right?"

"Yes, indeed," the young girl blinked, as if saying, the sign outside is very clear!

"I specifically came for Chu Ge." No choice but to say so.

"Oh, you’re Shen Yaoyao, right? You just arrived, the teacher has been waiting for half a day already." The young girl said while leading Shen Yaoyao to a second-floor Taekwondo classroom.

Shen Yaoyao checked the time; it was exactly eight o’clock. How could he have been waiting half a day? How could a young girl already know how to lie?

"This is your Taekwondo teacher, surname Chu."

"Mr. Chu, this is Shen Yaoyao."

After saying that, the young girl left the room, leaving only Shen Yaoyao and him, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"Ahem, Chu Ge, sorry for making you wait."

"Not long, only half an hour." Chu Ge glanced at Shen Yaoyao, not expecting to meet her here.

What? Half an hour? Wasn’t it agreed to meet at eight? How could it be seven thirty? Practicing that early, wouldn’t it be bad for the body?

With Chu Ge’s words, Shen Yaoyao felt even more embarrassed, as she came specifically for him, and yet ended up being late. Standing there for so long, she didn’t know what to do, neither standing nor sitting felt right.

"Is this how you’re coming to learn Taekwondo?" Chu Ge suddenly changed his tone, looking sternly at Shen Yaoyao.

"..."

"Clothes!"

Shen Yaoyao looked down at her attire: a T-shirt on top, and tight jeans at the bottom. Oh, what should one wear to practice Taekwondo? Probably not jeans, right?

"Go home and change!"

"What?"

"Go home and change!"

This...

"A round trip takes an hour, though?"

Chu Ge crossed his arms in front of his chest, looking at Shen Yaoyao, "I’ve already said it twice!"

Shen Yaoyao silently despised him! Could this grown man be any more generous? It’s such a long way back!

An hour later...

Shen Yaoyao stood before Chu Ge in loose clothing. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Today, you’ve wasted a full hour and a half of my time!"

What! Blaming her? Shen Yaoyao silently retorted, "Chu Ge! Don’t think that just because you’re a teacher now, you can lecture me!"

Chu Ge looked deeply at Shen Yaoyao. He had heard that Mr. Chu had a good relationship with them, so to avoid drawing attention, he could only suppress his unpleasant feelings for the time being.

"Alright, let’s start!" Seeing that Shen Yaoyao didn’t say anything, Chu Ge turned around and began explaining the Taekwondo basics.

Why did Shen Yaoyao always feel that Chu Ge was hostile towards her? She hadn’t offended him!

During break, Shen Yaoyao asked the young girl about how Chu Ge ended up as an instructor, and the answer was beyond her expectation!

The young girl told him that he had come on his own!

"Let’s call it a day." Chu Ge suddenly said.

Shen Yaoyao checked the time; it was only ten o’clock? The flyer clearly stated until eleven!

"Isn’t the time until eleven?" Shen Yaoyao asked, puzzled.

"I decide when." Chu Ge walked away without turning back.

"Why is he so petty! I didn’t offend him! What’s with the attitude! Geez!"

Suddenly, the door was slammed open again, startling Shen Yaoyao!

"If you feel you can’t handle it, feel free to leave." After all, what he could do now was stay as far away as possible from those connected to Mr. Chu, so that no one discovers he wasn’t the Chu Ge of this time and space.

Bam... the door slammed shut!

Shen Yaoyao angrily closed the door, her chest heaving with anger, clearly infuriated.

She stood there alone, angry for quite a while, before managing to calm herself down.

Right then, her phone rang. It was a call from Mu Bingtong.

"Sister Bingtong."

Shen Yaoyao wore an aggrieved expression.

Mu Bingtong sensed something different in her tone and asked suspiciously, "What’s wrong?"

"It’s all because of Chu Ge! Sister Bingtong, I really feel Chu Ge has changed a lot!"
