Chen Hanwei’s eyes lit up and he said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’m not planning to use you for anything difficult. After all, you’re really a good-for-nothing. Even last night, you almost…”

I did not know whether to be happy or uncomfortable.

After all, being called a good-for-nothing was not that great…

Chen Hanwei paused and said, “What’s the relationship between you and Xia Qingrou?”

I was stunned for a moment before I suddenly recalled that when I first met this fellow yesterday, he had also mentioned Teacher Xia.

Could it be that his motive was related to Teacher Xia?

I pondered in my heart before replying perfunctorily, “She’s a teacher, and I’m a student. That’s all.”

However, Chen Hanwei revealed a different expression. “Heh, I’ve been working with her for a few years, so I know how she is. She’s a nice person, but she’s not so nice that she treats any student she doesn’t know so well.”

I was stunned. What he said made sense.

I had studied here for two years and had only met Xia Qingrou a few times before. She had never cared about me.

However, ever since we met in The Harem that night, she had cared about me several times.

Previously, I had suspected that it was because of that matter that she treated me well. Now that Chen Hanwei mentioned it, could it be true?

However, Chen Hanwei clearly did not know about this matter, so he was asking me about it.

Wait, could it be that this was his true goal?!

However, after a second thought, I felt that something was off.

Chen Hanwei did not know for sure that I had something on Teacher Xia.

However, Chen Hanwei continued, “It doesn’t matter anymore. In any case, she trusts you a lot now. I need you to do something for me.”

I forced myself to calm down and carefully said, “What is it? I won’t do anything illegal.”

Chen Hanwei smiled. “Don’t worry, I want you to help me ask her out for dinner.”

I was stunned. “Ask her out? Don’t tell me you want to court her?”

This was not impossible. Xia Qingrou was beautiful and had a good personality. There were definitely many people who wanted to court her.

However, she already had a boyfriend like Yang Gang, so many people did not dare to pursue her.

Chen Hanwei sighed, “You’ve seen through me! I’ve liked her for many years, but she has never given me the chance to pursue her. If you can help me date her and give me the chance to show my sincerity, I believe that she will definitely dump that fellow Yang Gang and be with me!”

I finally understood his true intentions. I frowned and said, “If it’s just for this, why would you use such methods on me? I never liked Yang Gang to begin with. I can’t wait for Teacher Xia to find a better boyfriend.”

Chen Hanwei sneered, “That’s easy for you to say. The key is, will you trust me? I know my reputation better than anyone else in school.”

I thought about it and agreed.

If he had asked me for help from the start, I definitely would not have helped him because he might not be better than Yang Gang.

After all, I knew very little about him.

Thinking of this, I suddenly understood his way of doing things.

In that case, as long as I helped him, he would naturally not harm me.

Thinking of this, I said firmly, “Alright, I’ll help you with this. Tell me when and where.”

Chen Hanwei said happily, “If you’re successful, I will definitely not mistreat you! In the future, if anyone dares to bully you in school, I will make them suffer! Let’s do it tonight, at 7 pm. I’ll give you an address. If she agrees, you can immediately send me a message.”

After leaving, I let out a long sigh of relief.

I thought that I was done for. Fortunately, I was fine.

Hmph, I feel bad for Teacher Xia for having a boyfriend like Yang Gang!

At the very least, Chen Hanwei was much more handsome than Yang Gang. He was more like a human!

On the other hand, with Chen Hanwei protecting me, I would be able to do whatever I wanted in school. No one would dare to bully me again!

Fang Qian did not come to class in the morning.

It was likely that this fellow had chosen to stay at home due to his injury from last night.

After lunch, I went to Xia Qingrou’s office to look for her.

The office door was tightly shut. I knocked on it and a voice came from inside, “Please come in… Oh, wait!”

However, before I heard the word ‘wait’, I had already pushed the door open and walked in.

Xia Qingrou was currently standing at the file cabinet next to her, tiptoeing to reach for a file from the top shelf.

“Zhang Lu, is there something you need me for?”

“Yes… There is something.”

Xia Qingrou sat down behind the desk and asked, “What is it?”

I hesitated. “Teacher Xia, I… I want to treat you to a meal.”

Xia Qingrou was stunned. “A meal? Why?”

Before I came, I had already thought of an excuse. I quickly said, “You have helped me a few times. I am very grateful to you. I have nothing to repay you. I thought that I might as well treat you to a meal…”

Xia Qingrou looked at me in surprise. “You said that you don’t even have the money to go to the hospital for an examination, right? Where did you get the money to treat me to a meal?”

My mouth was wide open and I was momentarily unable to say anything.

Before this, I had never treated a teacher to a meal, let alone a beautiful teacher!

Hence, I did not expect her to ask so many questions!
