Chapter 42 She's different from other girls
When he heard He Lingyi say these words, he felt more disappointed than touched.
What's touching is that this student is empathetic, can put himself in others' shoes, and is easily satisfied.
What's disappointing is why Huang Hui doesn't have this mindset, but instead constantly compares herself to others.
Is it really because one went to university and the other didn't?
Seeing that Jiang Sifan looked a little sad, He Lingyi immediately felt guilty and said, "Teacher Jiang, is the milk tea too expensive? Maybe I shouldn't drink it."
"No, that's not it." Jiang Sifan smiled, "I'm just very touched and gratified that you've improved so much, but you didn't take the opportunity to order an expensive milk tea. Instead, you were satisfied with just a Mixue Ice Cream."
"Of course, it must not be easy for you, Teacher Jiang, to earn money as a tutor. I have to put myself in your shoes," He Lingyi said with a smile.
Jiang Sifan looked up at her innocent and radiant smile.
I do have an urge to go up and give it a hug.
Of course, this thought only lasted for 0.001 seconds.
If she had any more time, Jiang Sifan would have felt like a sinner.
He immediately took out his phone, ordered a milk tea for He Lingyi, and then said to her, "Okay, the milk tea is ordered and will be delivered in a bit. Now we can't waste any more time, we need to continue studying."
"Sigh, I have to study math again." He Lingyi's excited expression immediately wilted.
Although she didn't like studying math, her math teacher was Jiang Sifan. Considering both of these factors, He Lingyi was still willing to accept math.
As usual, Jiang Sifan took out a study guide and picked out a few basic questions for He Lingyi to do.
Compared to the questions in the previous two lessons, the questions are now more difficult.
This also caused her some pain.
He Lingyi shook her head and looked at Jiang Sifan, saying, "Teacher Jiang, there are still three questions I can't answer."
"It's okay, I'll teach you. Don't be discouraged. It's normal not to be able to do the questions. Otherwise, what would be the point of having a handsome and dashing teacher like me?" Jiang Sifan teased her, trying to liven up the atmosphere and cheer her up.
This really got He Lingyi talking.
She immediately straightened her back and showed off her JK uniform: "Teacher, teacher, isn't this outfit beautiful? It makes me look especially pretty."
Jiang Sifan's face flushed slightly, and she nodded, saying, "Yes, it is indeed quite beautiful."
He Lingyi noticed that Jiang Sifan's face was red, so she teased, "Haha, teacher, you're blushing."
Then she leaned closer and whispered, "Has your girlfriend never worn this kind of clothing before? Or do you not have a girlfriend and were you just saying that to fool me last time?"
"Nonsense... cough cough, don't try to trick me." Jiang Sifan poked at the questions on the test paper: "Alright, hurry up and write."
"Oh dear, I'm tired from studying." He Lingyi put on a coquettish expression and pulled on Jiang Sifan's arm, saying, "Just let me rest for a bit."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Sifan had indeed never encountered a woman acting coquettishly like this before.
He was easily swayed by He Lingyi's sweet talk and charm.
During this time, He Lingyi blinked and asked curiously, "Teacher Jiang, can you show me your girlfriend? If you don't, I'll assume you don't have a girlfriend."
"I'm scared of you." Jiang Sifan knew that He Lingyi wouldn't give up until she produced Huang Hui's photo.
So he had no choice but to scroll through his phone's photo album.
After searching for a while, I still couldn't find Huang Hui's photo.
Jiang Sifan then realized that every time they went out, Huang Hui complained that her phone's camera was not good enough, so all the photos were taken with her phone.
So he had no choice but to go to Huang Hui's WeChat Moments, click on the photo, and say, "Okay, look."
He Lingyi looked over eagerly.
They even zoomed in on the photo to examine a particular detail closely.
Jiang Sifan watched her behavior and wondered if all women liked to do this.
Before long, He Lingyi finally came to an evaluation.
"Your girlfriend is alright looking, but I think this photo is too heavily made up. She should be quite pretty in person, right?" He Lingyi asked tentatively.
"Yes, it looks pretty good." Jiang Sifan nodded.
He Lingyi immediately threw out the next question: "So, Teacher Jiang, do you think your girlfriend is prettier or I am?"
Jiang Sifan frowned and then interrupted the topic: "Alright, class is starting, no more of this nonsense."
"Oh, just tell me, who's prettier, me or your girlfriend?" He Lingyi was still unwilling to give up.
Jiang Sifan could only say, "Of course I'm a girl..."
But the next second, He Lingyi pouted, put her arms around her waist, and pretended to be angry as she looked at Jiang Sifan.
Jiang Sifan sighed: "You're beautiful. I think you're the most beautiful."
"Hmm, that's more like it~~" He Lingyi was finally satisfied with the evaluation and continued working on the questions.
Although she knew Lu Fan was deliberately coaxing her, she didn't care.
She just wanted to hear what she wanted to hear.
After class, Jiang Sifan set goals for He Lingyi.
"Ten points higher than last time." Jiang Sifan made a cheering gesture to encourage He Lingyi.
He Lingyi then made a condition: "If I improve my score by 10 points, can you take me to the newly opened Ice and Snow World in Jinling?"
"Are there any newly opened ice and snow worlds in Jinling?" Jiang Sifan asked curiously.
"Yes, it just opened in October this year. I heard it's the largest ice and snow world amusement park in the entire Jiangnan region. You can play in the snow and ski there. It's so much fun!" He Lingyi said excitedly.
Jiang Sifan shook his head again: "No, your mom definitely won't let you go out. Besides, it would be improper for me to take you out. Either you let your mom take you out to play."
"What's wrong? What's wrong with you taking me out to play? Can't we just be friends? Besides, I like playing with you." He Lingyi pouted and said coquettishly, "Oh, you agreed? Don't worry, I'll pay for the tickets. I have New Year's money."
"Let's talk about it after you pass the exam," Jiang Sifan had no choice but to decline.
By the time I got back to school, it was already 9:30 p.m.
As he passed by the canteen, he wanted to go in and see if they still had any late-night snacks.
Unfortunately, most of the late-night snacks at the windows were already sold out.
Jiang Sifan had no choice but to buy a bottle of soda at the ATM and sit down to rest for a while.
Just then, a bowl of mung bean soup was placed in front of him.
Jiang Sifan paused for a moment, then looked up at the person who brought the sweet soup.
Wen Wan blushed and looked at him shyly, saying, "I only have mung bean soup left at my window, would you... like some?"
He then realized what was happening.
Wen Wan works part-time at the canteen every night, selling late-night snacks at the window.
"Thank you, Wenwan. How much is this sweet soup? I'll transfer the money to you," Jiang Sifan said, taking out her phone.
But Wen Wan immediately explained, "No need, no need. You treated me to dinner last time, and I haven't had a chance to treat you back. Let me treat you to sweet soup tonight."
After saying that, she turned around and quickly went back to the window.
Looking at Wen Wan's back, although her clothes were not as flamboyant as other girls', she had a very low presence in the class.
Her name is only mentioned occasionally when the boys are comparing the girls' looks in the class.
But the simple outfit of a white shirt paired with blue jeans perfectly showcased the girl's figure.
Moreover, her grateful nature made Jiang Sifan feel that she was different from other girls.
At least he's not quite like... his girlfriend, Huang Hui.
