Xu Weiran had an "I knew it" expression as he said, "Just tell me straight, what’s the matter? Otherwise, I don’t dare eat this meal."
Sheng Ning’an replied, "Relax, it’s really just a tiny favor. The monthly exams are coming up again soon, and seeing how accurate you were with the last exam questions you helped me with, I was wondering if you could help me predict them again?"
"Ha!" Xu Weiran laughed. "You think a meal will bribe me into doing this hard labor for you?"
Sheng Ning’an: "How can this be considered hard labor? For a top student like you, predicting exam questions and highlighting key points should be a breeze, right? Don’t worry, if I do well, I won’t forget your help."
The girl had even learned to bait him with promises.
Xu Weiran said with amusement, "Alright, did you bring your books?"
"I did." Sheng Ning’an opened her backpack and pulled out a stack of textbooks.
It seemed like the girl came prepared.
Xu Weiran: "So you’re certain I’ll help you?"
Sheng Ning’an answered confidently: "Just this little favor, I can’t think of a reason for you not to help."
She had a point there!
Xu Weiran skillfully marked the key points for her, saying, "For the liberal arts subjects, as long as you memorize everything I’ve highlighted, your scores shouldn’t be too bad. For the sciences, I’ll sort out a set of questions and send them to you later. If you have any questions, you can ask me on WeChat."
"You even offer after-sales service?" Sheng Ning’an knew she was busy, and had originally just planned to have him highlight the key points; she hadn’t expected him to be so accommodating, even planning to put together test questions for her.
How could she not feel embarrassed?
Xu Weiran: "I don’t teach for nothing; I’m still waiting for you to thank me after the exam!"
Sheng Ning’an: "You don’t need to wait until after the exam. If you have any requests, you can make them now." She was someone who never took advantage of others for free. Since he had helped her, no matter how well she performed, she would remember this favor.
"Of course, it’s true!"
Xu Weiran glanced at her and said, "Okay, then accompany me somewhere later, okay?"
Sheng Ning’an looked at him suspiciously: "You’re not going to have me pretend to be your girlfriend again to mess up another one of your arranged dates, are you?" She didn’t mind, but if they kept doing this, wasn’t he worried that he’d really end up unable to find a partner later on?
"Relax, it’s not a date this time," Xu Weiran said.
"Alright then!" Sheng Ning’an didn’t ask what it was about and simply pointed to the menu in front of them saying, "Order whatever, don’t be shy with me!"
It seemed like it was still his line from last time.
Xu Weiran took the menu and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t be shy." The Sheng family’s only little princess was definitely not short on cash.
"Eh, isn’t that your Ranran? And who’s the young girl across from him, could it be his girlfriend?" Mother Xu, tired from shopping with her good friend, decided to find a place to eat and happened to see Xu Weiran and Sheng Ning’an together.
Her good friend recognized Xu Weiran at a glance.
Turning around, she gave Mother Xu a teasing smile and said, "I told you you’re worrying over nothing. With your Ranran’s looks and personality, there must be countless girls who like him. Why worry about him not having a girlfriend? Look, doesn’t he have one already?"
Just a while ago, this old friend had been complaining to her that her son refused to get a girlfriend and even sabotaged arranged dates she had set up for him. Now, didn’t he apparently have a girlfriend?
Mother Xu followed her friend’s gaze, and her expression immediately became complicated.
Wasn’t that the girl from Jiu Middle School?
