Chapter 2 I've always thought of you as my older sister!

“That’s right.” Although Zhou Chu tried his best to lean back, he could only turn his head to the side because of the wall behind him.

Her words made his ears tingle, as if they were draining his consciousness, and he could only try his best to stay awake.

The person in front of him is Sister Qin! He has always treated her like an older sister.

"Would you like to move in with me?" Gao Qinyi asked, changing the subject.

He had visited the apartment that Gao Qinyi rented on the campus next to the school.

"Didn't your house only have one room and one bed?"

“If it’s you, I can sell the double bed in the room and buy two single beds!” Gao Qinyi tilted her head slightly, facing Zhou Chu directly: “So what if it’s just one bed? I used to sleep with you in my arms when we were little!”

"That was when I was a child..."

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore." Hearing footsteps on the stairs, Gao Qinyi took a step back and released her hand from the wall. "Where are we going to eat later? It's my treat."

"You're making me sound like a kept man," Zhou Chu waved his hand and decisively refused.

It's impossible for me to be a kept man; I'll never be one in my life.

He's destined to become one of the twelve Olympian gods; being a kept man will only erode his will and diminish his talent.

"Qinyi?" The person coming up the stairs was Gao Qinyi's roommate—Li Qiuran, the academic tutor of another English class.

She is a very small and flat-chested girl, a stark contrast to Gao Qinyi.

Li Qiuran's only appeal to otaku is her loli-like appearance.

But he doesn't like lolis because he's not a shut-in (lol).

"Ranran? Isn't today the weekend?"

"I've come to deliver some materials." Li Qiuran held up a stack of papers in her hand. Just as she was about to ask Gao Qinyi why she was at school as a day student, she noticed Zhou Chu: "Is he the melancholy and handsome childhood sweetheart you mentioned before?"

Zhou Chu blushed.

I never expected Gao Qinyi to give him such an evaluation.

That's fairly fair.

"What melancholy? He's clearly a shut-in," Gao Qinyi complained. "He wouldn't have come out of his dorm if I hadn't called him!"

"I see." Li Qiuran nodded, her gaze sweeping around before settling on Gao Qinyi's black stockings.

Gao Qinyi clearly doesn't wear black stockings normally.

Surely no teacher would wear black stockings and tutor students in a dark room, right?

Is tutoring really about homework?

Li Qiuran's gaze swept across the empty corridor, suddenly becoming full of profound meaning.

But none of that matters, since she's been called over by her boss to organize some documents and needs someone to help her.

"You wouldn't mind if I borrowed your Sister Qin for a bit, would you?" Li Qiuran asked Zhou Chu.

"I don't mind, of course I don't mind." Zhou Chu nodded hurriedly.

Is this the savior?

Gao Qinyi sighed upon seeing Zhou Chu's reaction and instructed, "If you have any questions in the future, just message me. Remember to memorize vocabulary, and don't fail the test next time!"

Zhou Chu nodded hurriedly and left the Foreign Languages ​​Institute building.

I'll go grab a bite to eat first, then head back to my dorm to write.

"Good plan." He nodded and walked towards the cafeteria.

There are two canteens on campus. He lives in the west area, so he eats at the west canteen more often.

It's already noon, and if I order takeout, it will probably take half an hour to arrive, so I'll just have a quick meal at the cafeteria.

Watching the couples coming and going, Zhou Chu got his food and casually found a seat to sit down.

He opened his phone, thought for a moment, and then sent the message to Gao Qinyi.

[Chu Kuangren: Thank you, Sister Qin, for your guidance today]

[Girl with piano: How about I tutor you every week? (evil grin)]

【Chu Kuangren: Da Mei】

[Qin Girl: By the way, after a month of school, are you familiar with our campus yet?]

[Qin Girl: I'm guessing you haven't been to Lover's Valley yet!]

[Chu Kuangren: That's true, I don't want to be seen as a pervert wandering around Lover's Valley alone]

[Girl Qin: If you get good grades next time, I might take you shopping.]

Zhou Chu turned his phone over.

The dumplings he had just bought were almost cold. Zhou Chu picked one up, dipped it in vinegar, and put it in his mouth.

It was still very hot! He took a deep breath and finally managed to eat it.

I originally thought that Gao Qinyi would tone it down a bit after becoming an academic tutor...

He shook his head, trying to banish those strange images from his mind.

It's like a scene where a girl in black stockings throws herself into someone's arms, a mature woman pins someone against a wall, or a female teacher provides one-on-one tutoring.

These plot points could be used to write a light novel about everyday romance.

Zhou Chu nodded and put another dumpling into his mouth.

Why is it still so hot!

"Your childhood sweetheart is really handsome." Li Qiuran said while tidying up the documents, keeping an eye on Gao Qinyi.

"Of course!" Gao Qinyi couldn't contain her joy.

"Is the room clean?" Li Qiuran asked casually.

"Huh?" Gao Qinyi was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what she was talking about.

"I already said it's just after-school tutoring!" Gao Qinyi blushed and lunged forward.

Li Qiuran was quite petite, and she said sarcastically, "Men can't satisfy you anymore, can they?"

Five minutes later...

Gao Qinyi picked up the scattered documents and fanned herself with them.

Although the temperature in Liancheng was very low, she still sweated a lot.

“It was deliberate.” Li Qiuran had no intention of letting her off the hook. Although she had just been at a complete disadvantage, now that she was free, she decisively picked up the paper that had been scattered on the ground, rolled it into a tube, and hit her on the head.

"If you're worried about the teacher-student relationship, I can be his academic advisor. Then you won't have to worry about that anymore and can be with your handsome junior forever!"

"Ranran!" Gao Qinyi was both angry and embarrassed: "If you keep saying that, I won't help you tidy up!"

Changing classes is out of the question. Even now, as an academic tutor, she can't win over Zhou Chu. If the teacher-student relationship is gone, the chances will definitely be even fewer!
