Chapter 72: Chapter 72: You can try to lean on me

“Tang, come out and play!”

Shen Tang bit her pen in anguish, lying face down on the table: “Woo woo woo, I can’t go out, I still have things to do today...”

On the video chat, Qi Yue put on makeup while asking: “What’s the matter? My brother’s company was founded. Don't you want to take a look?”

Shen Tang really wanted to see what the biggest entertainment company in the domestic industry would look like in the future.

But she still had a self-reflection essay to write.

She sighed, “Forget it, let’s go next time. I—”

Before Shen Tang could finish speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open. She quickly put down her phone and pretended to be lost in thought.

“How much have you written for your self-reflection?”

Gu Huaian peeked in, and the paper had only a few ugly words like “I'm sorry, I was wrong.”

He raised his eyebrows: “You wrote so long and only got six words down?”

Shen Tang put her palms together, “Teacher Gu, I know I did wrong. Can I stop writing it?”

“Then tell me what exactly you did wrong?”

Shen Tang was rendered speechless.

In fact, she really didn't know what she had done wrong. She felt that she had done the right thing.

Gu Huaian scoffed, “It seems you don't really know your mistakes.”

His thin lips were pressed into a straight line, somewhat angry and somewhat helpless.

Why couldn't she learn not to take risks?

That's right, she always had her own ideas, and didn't care about him at all, after all, she was ready to leave.

Thinking of this, Gu Huaian felt even more irritated.

He glanced at the phone, “Keep writing. You can go out and play after you finish the self-reflection.”

Shen Tang complained inwardly.

This guy didn't even go to class today, just to stay home and watch her write a self-reflection, how freaky.

Hearing her thoughts, Gu Huaian said he could be even more freaky.

After the man left, Shen Tang picked up her phone and realized the video call was still on.

Qi Yue smiled gloatingly, “Well, well, you two really know how to play.”

“No, it’s not what you think.”

“Alright, alright, I get it. Don’t wanna hear about this stuff, it’s nauseating. I’m hanging up.”

After speaking, Qi Yue immediately hung up the phone.

Shen Tang was exasperated, hey, at least let me explain!

Her innocence!!!

As the sun set in the west, Shen Tang racked her brains and wrote a thousand words for her self-reflection.

She ran to Gu Huaian's study and knocked twice before pushing the door open, “Teacher Gu, I'm done with my self-reflection!”

Gu Huaian was in an online meeting. When he heard Shen Tang's words, everyone on screen had subtle expressions.

“Wait a moment.” He muted the microphone, “Let me check it first.”

“You’re really checking it?” Shen Tang handed over the notebook in her hand, “Here, I wrote every word carefully, not that I just made it up.”

Gu Huaian took the notebook and looked at the crooked handwriting. He hooked the corners of his lips.

Shen Tang noticed and frowned, “I haven't written in a long time. Don't make fun of me!”

Although her writing wasn't very good before, it was still a little better than now.

“I'm not.” Gu Huaian denied.

“I saw you laugh!”

“You saw wrong.”

Shen Tang: “......”

She's silly, not blind okay?!

After checking word by word, Shen Tang anxiously asked, “So how is it? Does it pass?”

Hearing the two words “barely acceptable”, the corners of Shen Tang's mouth curved up crazily, “Then Teacher Gu, I can go out now, right?”

Gu Huaian immediately changed his face, “Where are you going?”

“Wasn't it... the orphanage thing is still not solved?”

“It seems you still don't really understand your mistakes.”

“Huh?”

Gu Huaian sighed, and simply said, “I'm right here. You can try relying on me a little.”

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment. Tao Sister and Xiao Yu were also Gu Huaian's people, but she could ask them for help without any misgivings, yet she couldn't do the same with Gu Huaian so casually.

It still seemed like something was missing.

She didn't expect Gu Huaian to take the initiative to say such words, which was practically telling her—“Go ahead and use me.”

Shen Tang carefully chose her words, “I see you’re quite busy with work usually. I don't want to bother you with these little things.”

“You call this a little thing?”

Shen Tang smiled awkwardly.

Um, how is it not?

Compared to a tycoon making millions per minute, hers were just little things.

The more Gu Huaian thought about it, the angrier he got. He didn't even have lunch yesterday afternoon. He just kept waiting for a certain heartless person to bring him food.

He even told Assistant Qian, but that person didn't come at all.

Thinking of this, he flicked her forehead.

Shen Tang covered her head and yelped, “Ow!”

“Giving you a lesson. From now on, no matter big or small, you can contact me if you need anything.”

“Okay.” Shen Tang nodded obediently.

“So now?”

Shen Tang cleared her throat and said in an exaggerated manner: “Sugar daddy, please, help me resolve the orphanage matter! I beg you, please.”

Gu Huaian: “......”

Well, he means, you can't ask for too much. At least there's some improvement.

But her tone was still lacking. It made people want to hit her when they heard it.

“I'll handle this matter. You don't need to worry about it.”

“Thank you, sugar daddy!”

Gu Huaian pinched between his brows, “Change how you address me.”

“You like me calling you Teacher Gu?”

Shen Tang looked a little surprised, as if saying, so this is the real you, Gu Huaian?

Teacher-student play, why not?

“What are you thinking? Just call me by name.”

“Then... Gu Huaian?”

“Yes.”

The two looked at each other.

Shen Tang noticed Gu Huaian's lips, and inevitably recalled the light kiss from before.

Hearing her thoughts, Gu Huaian let out a soft laugh.

To be honest, he wasn't fully sober when he kissed her either. It felt fuzzy, like there was a layer of gauze in between.

He lowered his head and slowly moved closer...

The door was suddenly pushed open with a “bang”, and Tao Sister covered her face, saying, “Oh my, sorry, please continue, I didn't see anything.”

Shen Tang noticed Tao Sister's huge cracked fingers and bulging eyes. She felt a little speechless.

Just as she was about to speak, she noticed from the corner of her eye that Gu Huaian's laptop was still on video call.

Although the mic was muted, her face was very clear on the video.

Wait, does that mean everything just now was seen?!

Shen Tang's face instantly turned red. She complained, “Why didn't you say you were on video?”

“It's okay, they won't talk.” And they didn't really do anything just now.

He glared warningly at the screen. The few people on the other end instantly looked away, very much like trying to cover up.

Shen Tang looked extremely resentful. Is this something that will or won't be talked about?

She really had no face to see anyone now!
