Waking up, Xiao Yan realized more than an hour had passed and Sheng Ting was seeing Shen Weiyi out.
Shen Jingqi, yawning, stood up and asked, "Can we go back now?"
Sheng Ting replied, "You stay and continue!"
"What for?" Shen Jingqi immediately felt half as sleepy and protested loudly.
Sheng Ting countered, "Do you want me to send the video of you sleeping to Sister Lu He?"
"Don’t, Brother Ting, look how long I’ve been here; that should be enough. How about we talk it over again? I’ve got something here that I think you’ll definitely be interested in..."
Sheng Ting said, "Just stay put. We’ll talk when I’m back."
Shen Jingqi thought to himself, if he’s not interested, surely someone else will be.
He immediately posted the photo he had just taken to his social circle.
The Shen and Sheng families were close, with connections among both the older and younger generations. Adding to that relations with a few other families...
Less than a minute after the photo went up, a bunch of likes and comments appeared beneath it.
Sheng Ting escorted Shen Weiyi to the door, where her ride had already arrived.
"Thank you for today!" Shen Weiyi voiced her gratitude to Sheng Ting.
Although she had been tricked by Shen Jingqi into coming, Sheng Ting indeed taught well – she had gained an advantage!
Sheng Ting spoke softly, "If anyone’s been troubled, it’s Xiao Yan troubling you, so don’t worry about it. If you have any questions after you get back, you can also ask me on WeChat."
"Okay!" Shen Weiyi nodded, then got into the car parked at the door.
Sheng Ting watched the car drive away, then turned to go back inside, only to see a flood of messages suddenly pop up on his phone.
Opening them, he found everyone asking him if he had a girlfriend now, and who the girl in the photo was.
Confused, Sheng Ting thought of a possibility and quickly returned to the house, looking at Shen Jingqi in the living room, "What did you do?"
Shen Jingqi, lounging on the sofa, lazily answered, "Oh, not much, just posted to my Moments."
Sheng Ting suspiciously opened the other’s Moments and immediately saw the photo that had been posted not long ago.
Despite being a candid shot, the quality was clear, and with the angle well chosen, it looked as if he had the girl hugged close in his arms.
After a moment, Sheng Ting looked up and told Shen Jingqi, "Delete it!"
"I won’t." He had asked just before, and the other person hadn’t been willing to hear him out.
"Shen Jingqi, don’t make me say it a second time," Sheng Ting spoke with chilling assertiveness, his tone not heavy, but somehow pressurizing.
Shen Jingqi sheepishly caved in but didn’t give up the chance to negotiate, "I’ll delete it, but you have to delete the video you took of me sleeping too. Plus, from now on, I get to decide when the tutoring sessions happen, and you can’t tattle to my mom."
Sheng Ting spoke indifferently, "If you don’t want to delete it, forget it."
"I’ll delete it, delete it, delete it," Shen Jingqi, feeling a chill on his back, hastily replied, "But, I think I took a pretty good pic. Do you want me to send you a copy?"
Seeing Sheng Ting look at him expressionlessly, Shen Jingqi quickly changed his tune, "Okay, pretend I didn’t say anything." As he spoke, he opened Moments and quickly deleted the photo he had just posted.
Sheng Ting reminded, "And the one in your phone."
With a bargaining tone, Shen Jingqi said, "Do I really have to delete the one from my phone?" Yet meeting the other’s gaze, he begrudgingly opened his album.
As he was about to delete, he heard someone cough and say, "Hmm, send me a copy before you do."
