“Is your family easy to get along with?” Chi Jiao asked again.
“They are!” Xu Ye replied eagerly. “As long as you agree to be my tutor, you’ll be my great benefactor. My parents will definitely be very grateful!”
He genuinely wanted to study hard.
Jiaojiao was so outstanding.
He had to keep up with her.
“My tutoring fee is very expensive,” Chi Jiao said with a smile.
Xu Ye looked at her cute smile and his heart almost melted. “Name your price.”
Chi Jiao nodded. “Let’s talk after class.”
While the two of them were talking, they did not notice that someone was looking at them with eyes full of jealousy.
The lesson passed quickly. After the lesson ended, it was time for their lunch break.
“Jiaojiao, what do you want to eat today?” Dang Nan asked as she walked to Chi Jiao’s desk.
“I’ll treat you guys to barbecue.” Xu Ye stood up and smiled.
Dang Nan raised an eyebrow, thinking that was a good idea. “We can eat barbecue, but let’s still go dutch.”
“Right, go dutch,” Yi Lanlan said, grinning.
“You guys head over first. I’ll look for you all later,” Chi Jiao said to them.
Xu Ye, Yi Lanlan, and Dang Nan left first as Chi Jiao took out her phone from her bag and called Quan Jue again.
— “Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable…”
A formal voice that sounded like a customer service lady came through the phone.
Chi Jiao sighed softly and frowned as she looked at her phone. “We agreed to contact each other over the phone…”
She was really worried now.
In the beginning, her calls still got through. However, no one picked up now. His phone was switched off!
She sat in her seat and stared blankly for a while. Chi Jiao didn’t give up and called again, but his phone was still switched off.
“I’d better ask Senior Lin Ye…” Chi Jiao muttered as she placed her phone in her bag and walked out of the classroom with it.
A jealous gaze followed after her.
When she reached the classroom door, Chi Jiao suddenly stopped and turned around.
Only one girl was left sitting in front of her desk. It was the girl who had always came first in class. Her name was Zou Xingxing.
Zou Xingxing didn’t expect Chi Jiao to suddenly turn around. Therefore, their eyes met without warning.
Behind her thick lenses, her eyes dropped in panic, trying to hide her twisted expression of jealousy.
Chi Jiao merely glanced at Zou Xingxing. Seeing that she didn’t dare to meet her eyes, she smiled and turned to leave.
Only when Chi Jiao’s footsteps had gone far away did Zou Xingxing dare to raise her eyes again, her lips curling into a strange smile.
Vrrr! Vrrr! Vrrr!
Chi Jiao was walking towards the school gate when the phone in her bag suddenly vibrated.
She quickly took it out and was disappointed when she saw that it was Dang Nan.
She thought it was Quan Jue.
Disappointment only lasted for a moment before Chi Jiao smiled. When the call connected, Yi Lanlan’s voice was heard.
“Jiaojiao, are you coming?”
“I’m on my way, I…” Before Chi Jiao could finish her sentence, a large hand with well-defined fingers suddenly reached out from the woods on either side of the path she was on and grabbed her wrist, pulling her into the forest.
Immediately after, her body was pressed against a thick tree trunk and her mouth was sealed with a kiss.
Chi Jiao couldn’t help but stare blankly at the person in front of her. Yi Lanlan’s voice could still be heard from the phone in her hand.
“Hello? Jiaojiao… why aren’t you talking anymore? Did something happen?”
