Twenty minutes later, Zhang Jingdong’s Mercedes gently stopped at the entrance of Yan Ning’s home.
At almost the same time, a black mountain bike made a sudden brake, stopping diagonally across from the Mercedes.
Yan Zifeng glanced at the Mercedes’s license plate, feeling a bit puzzled instinctively.
Because he had never seen this car before, and his aunt never allowed outside vehicles at their home.
Then he suddenly saw Yan Ran getting out of the car, and he was instantly bewildered.
"Brother, you’re back!"
Yan Zifeng dazedly nodded: "...Yeah, and you are... um?"
At this moment, he also saw Yan Ning getting out of the car, and he noticed his aunt unusually somewhat shy upon seeing him.
This did not bring him the slightest joy, but instead, he felt a faint chill because he vaguely sensed that his home seemed to have been invaded!
Then he indeed saw a man getting out of the car!
He was initially a bit angry and incredulous, but he quickly realized the man was Zhang Jingdong!
His expression instantly shifted to comfort and surprise.
Yet there was still a slight feeling of intrusion, for this home would no longer have only him as the man, and Zhang Jingdong had become the man of the house!
At this moment, his mood was a unique blend of pain and joy.
But due to habit, he still actively stepped forward, striving to restore his usual humility and respect: "Aunt, Master... what is this?"
Zhang Jingdong glanced at Yan Ning, then pretended to be relaxed and said, "Since we’ve run into each other, we won’t hide it from you; actually, your aunt and I are together now!"
Though extremely shy, Yan Ning still added, "Zifeng, actually, we intended to wait until your high school exams were over to tell you, but today... it was just too coincidental!"
Yan Zifeng hurriedly said with a solemn expression: "Aunt, this is a good thing; I am very happy, really!"
"Ranran and I are both very, very happy that you can be with Master; this way, we’ll be a family in the future!"
Seemingly moved by his last sentence, Yan Zifeng completely accepted the fact that Zhang Jingdong was with his aunt.
So at this point, the excitement on his face also seemed much more natural.
Zhang Jingdong noticed this and then said, "Before, even when I was just your Master, our relationship already felt like family, so even though I’m with your aunt now, our way of interacting won’t change much."
"I will continue to teach you Kung Fu, teach you academics, and in the future, I will share all of my life experiences with you without reservation."
"And if you boy don’t study well, I will still discipline you!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Zifeng not only didn’t mind but was completely relieved.
"Master... oh no, Uncle, don’t worry, I will definitely continue to learn well from you!"
"I’ve never really admired anyone, but ever since I met you, I sincerely admire you because everything you’ve taught me has been incredibly beneficial."
Seeing Yan Zifeng say this, Yan Ning was also completely relieved and showed a comforting smile.
Zhang Jingdong glanced at her, then said: "Alright, let’s go. Before, as your Master, I wasn’t supposed to come tonight, but now that you call me Uncle, I must teach you more things!"
The four of them happily entered the villa.
Zhang Jingdong chatted a bit with Yan Ning in the living room, then took Yan Zifeng upstairs.
For the next two-plus hours, Zhang Jingdong quickly and seriously reviewed all the potential knowledge points for the high school math exam with Yan Zifeng.
In the end, he specifically helped Yan Zifeng press two major exam topics that he alone remembered.
After teaching everything he could, Zhang Jingdong said, "Today’s content is quite a lot, so I won’t teach you Kung Fu today. Take your time to recall everything I just taught you."
Just as Zhang Jingdong was about to leave, Yan Zifeng suddenly said: "Master..."
Zhang Jingdong paused, then turned around: "Yes?"
"Master... please promise to be good to my aunt!"
Zhang Jingdong heard the plea and request in his words and seriously said, "Don’t worry, you need to trust your aunt’s judgment and also believe in your Master’s character; no matter what, I will always treat your aunt well!"
"Okay, continue studying!"
"Yeah, thank you, Master!"
Only then did Yan Zifeng turn back, picking up the exam paper again.
Zhang Jingdong looked at him deeply, then left the room.
Arriving at the stairway, just as Zhang Jingdong was about to go downstairs, he suddenly thought of something, then took out his phone and sent Yan Ning a message: Finished teaching Zifeng, suddenly want to check out your room, may I?
At this moment, Yan Ning was downstairs watching TV with Yan Ran.
Upon hearing a notification, she took her phone out and glanced at it.
After reading Zhang Jingdong’s message, her face instantly turned red.
She hesitated for a while before turning to Yan Ran and said, "Ranran, I’m going upstairs to deal with a file."
Yan Ran didn’t take her eyes off the TV, replying crisply: "Okay."
Seeing that she hadn’t noticed anything unusual, Yan Ning got up and walked away, heading upstairs.
It was only then that Yan Ran turned her head to glance at the stairs, a trace of inexplicable excitement and shyness flickered in her eyes.
Yan Ning saw Zhang Jingdong, gestured "shh," and then headed straight to the third floor.
Zhang Jingdong’s heart stirred, and he quietly followed her.
