She Is Brighter Than the Stars

Seeing no one else, Cheng Nian wondered, “Is your nephew not here yet?”

Zhang Zheng rubbed his hands, and when he was about to speak, Li Shubai came out from the study.

Zhang Zheng walked over and patted Li Shubai on the back, smiling at Cheng Nian.

“My nephew hurt his leg playing football two days ago, so he couldn’t come. But I found you the first place in our class. Student Shubai’s grades are much better than my nephew’s. It must be no problem for him to tutor you.”

Zhang Zheng was getting old, he usually read books besides writing lesson plans, he didn’t know about Cheng Nian’s stalking of Li Shubai, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked him to tutor Cheng Nian.

When Cheng Nian saw Li Shubai, it was like seeing a ghost.

She clenched her hands tightly subconsciously, desperately wanting to escape, but the soles of her shoes seemed to be glued to the floor with super glue, and she couldn’t move.

Li Shubai’s cold eyes lightly placed on Cheng Nian’s face, making her heart skip a beat.

“Have you brought the book?”

His voice seemed to have some demagogic ability, Cheng Nian nodded unconsciously.

Li Shubai turned and walked towards the study, and when he reached the door, he glanced at her and said calmly, “Come in.”

Cheng Nian swallowed nervously, and seeing Zhang Zheng’s earnest eyes, she bit the bullet and followed Li Shubai into the study.

She kept telling herself in herheart that now Li Shubai is still a white lotus that is not stained by mud. Only then managed to stabilize her mind and sat on the chair in front of him.

Zhang Zheng’s study looks like a small classroom, probably used for teaching students at home when the control was not strict.

Li Shubai glanced at Cheng Nian whose hair was dyed back to black, and asked coldly with his eyelids half down.

“What do you want to learn first?”

“Eh…” Cheng Nian randomly took out a book from her schoolbag, and whispered, “Let’s just do chemistry.”

Li Shubai took the chemistry book from the shelf beside him, spread it out on the table, and began to explain it to Cheng Nian from the first page.

Cheng Nian didn’t care to listen to Li Shubai’s lecture, just facing him made her feel uncomfortable.

After listening to the first knowledge point like sitting on pins and needles.

Li Shubai stared into Cheng Nian’s eyes, “Do you understand?”

Cheng Nian shook her head dully, “I don’t understand at all.”

Li Shubai didn’t say anything.

While bowing her head, Cheng Nian immediately said, “I think I won’t be able to learn it, so I won’t make up the lessons. I’ll go talk to Teacher Zhang.”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Zheng walked in from outside with a plate of fruit.

They were the ones that Cheng Nian bought before.

“How are you studying?”

Cheng Nian opened her mouth, but Li Shubai said before he could speak: “Student Cheng has a good foundation.”

Zhang Zheng nodded in satisfaction, told Cheng Nian the importance of studying earnestly, and praised her with satisfaction before putting down the fruit and leaving.

Cheng Nian looked at Li Shubai resentfully, not understanding why he did this.

Li Shubai seemed to see Cheng Nian’s doubts, turned the book back to the first page, and said with a calm expression, “I need this tutoring fee.”

Cheng Nian suddenly realized, smiled and flattered him: “You are short of money, I will give you the money, but you don’t have to make up the lessons.”

As soon as this remark came out, Li Shubai’s eyes suddenly became sharp.

Cheng Nian suddenly felt her heart being pulled hard.

How dare she trample Li Shubai’s most important self-esteem on the ground.

Before Li Shubai got angry, Cheng Nian changed her words and said, “No, that’s not what I meant.”

Li Shubai’s face calmed down a little, his eyes lightly placed on Cheng Nian’s face, and he said in a calm but unrestrained tone: “Mr. Zhang said that you have to make up for every subject.”

Cheng Nian didn’t dare to look him in the eyes, and said vaguely, “No.”

“What is that?”

Cheng Nian’s heart trembled, she hesitated and said, “Let’s do chemistry first.”

After saying this, Cheng Nian felt her heart was bleeding.

Li Shubai glanced at Cheng Nian and continued to explain the contents of the book.

She didn’t sleep much last night, she listened for a while, and felt her upper and lower eyelids start to fight.

But she hasn’t forgotten that the person standing in front of her is Li Shubai.

After pinching her thigh to wake up for a few minutes, Cheng Nian finally couldn’t fight against the surging drowsiness, and fell headfirst on her arm.

Li Shubai put down the book in his hand after Cheng Nian fell asleep.

He stared at Cheng Nian’s curled eyelashes for a while, then silently opened the exercise book that was put aside.

At around 5:30 in the afternoon, Cheng Nian slowly woke up from her sleep.

The air conditioner in the room had been turned off at some point, and the summer wind was blowing slowly from the window, with the smell of fruit smoothie, which made her feel inexplicably comfortable.

Cheng Nian closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a while, then suddenly remembered that she was in Li Shubai’s tutoring, and jumped up from the table.

Li Shubai raised his eyelids to glance at her, and said softly, “You’re awake.”

Cheng Nian wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, “Ah, what, I will give you the money.”

Li Shubai was fine, he picked up a piece of written paper on the table and handed it to Cheng Nian.

“Remember to buy these tutorial books.”

Cheng Nian responded, took it and put it in her wallet, took out money and handed it to Li Shubai, and asked cautiously.

“Is this enough?”

Li Shubai said coldly: “It’s too much, I don’t have enough change.”

Cheng Nian waved her hand casually, “It’s fine, don’t worry about it”

Li Shubai took the money and said seriously: “No, I don’t want to owe you. Come to the back door of the school tonight, and I will wait for you there.”

Li Shubai’s mother set up a stall selling snacks at the back door of the school. In her previous life, Cheng Nian had swaggered and took dozens of people to eat.

She thought she could help Li Shubai, but who knew she would just be hated even more.

Later, when she failed to pursue Li Shubai, He Yunfei took people to Mama Li’s booth to make trouble in order to vent his anger on Cheng Nian.

Some blind person kicked over the frying pan and burned Mama Li’s leg.

Li Shubai had a big fight with him over this.

Cheng Nian was just rejected by Li Shubai, and couldn’t bear to blame her friend, so she refused to admit her mistake and brought a lot of money to visit Li Ying in the hospital.

Li Shubai threw the money out of the window on the spot, pointed at her nose and cursed sharply.

“Cheng Nian, why don’t you die.”

Thinking of this, Cheng Nian’s expression darkened, and she said regretfully and sadly: “It’s not a good night.”

“I’ll take you home.”

Cheng Nian was taken aback, looking at Li Shubai’s handsome side face, his brows frowned slightly.

After Li Shubai finished speaking, he began to organize his things, telling Cheng Nian as if he had already made an appointment.

“Remember to bring books.”

Cheng Nian reluctantly responded, her small face wrinkled like a bun, and only after she reacted did she realize that she had been led away by the nose.

When she got home, her mother had already cooked the meal.

Seeing that Cheng Nian had dyed her black hair back, she was very pleased.

At the dinner table, they talked about the interesting stories about fishing today, and Cheng Nian listened with interest.

After eating and watching TV, Cheng Nian told her father that she’s going for tutoring.

Lao Chengtou couldn’t believe it for a moment, and when he found out that Cheng Nian was serious, he immediately arranged for the housekeeper to send her off, and boldly called Cheng Nian’s card, followed by several pocket money.

Seeing her father’s happy face, Cheng Nian kissed him on the cheek and said sweetly, “Thank you, Dad.”

The back door of the school turns into a snack street at night, and there are more than a dozen stalls like Li Shubai’s mother.

From a distance, Cheng Nian saw Li Shubai helping Mama Li with work.

She walked over and put the nutritional supplements, which were heavier than a schoolbag, on the table that Li Shubai had just wiped clean.

Mama Li didn’t quite recognize Cheng Nian who was there, she looked at the table full of things and asked tentatively.

“Want to eat?”
