“No work, no pay.” Yu Shu shook his head. “This kind of gift is thorny to accept.”

When Song Qiong Shi received the gift returned intact by Yu Shu, she tapped her palm with a folding fan in surprise. “He actually didn’t accept it.”

Gu Ao Yu beside her said: “I heard Yu Shu normally doesn’t use cosmetics or like wearing ornaments. Could it be that he doesn’t care for this jewelry?”

“But I didn’t send him jewelry.” Gu Ao Yu opened the gift, revealing a Yao watch inside.

“This is an imitation of the Yao watch that woman from the Yu family presented to the Emperor’s aunt. The research institute even took apart the watch that woman presented to reverse engineer 80% of the technology. The Emperor’s aunt really likes that watch, so as soon as the imitation was made, it immediately caused a frenzy in the capital.”

Gu Ao Yu suggested, “If jewelry doesn’t work, why don’t we just be direct with Yu Shu?”

“That idea of yours…” Song Qiong Shi paused. “It’s not impossible either.”

“There are no men under the heavens who don’t admire Her Majesty.” Gu Ao Yu strongly agreed. “If he knows he can serve Her Majesty, he will surely be overjoyed.”

Song Qiong Shi smiled. “Then let’s find an opportunity to reveal this matter to Yu Shu.”

Two flowers bloomed, each displaying its own branch.

After Yan Jin and Yu Shu finished their punishment, they went to the cafeteria to eat.

Originally, Yu Shu was worried that it being her first time punished by a teacher, she would feel resentful. Who knew that Yan Jin would remain as calm as usual. Seeing Yu Shu racking his brains trying to cheer her up, she instead comforted him, “I’m really fine.”

“Really fine?” Yu Shu furrowed his brows slightly. “But you’ve never been punished before, from childhood until now.”

Moreover, being punished standing in public, with classmates pointing and whispering, how embarrassing.

Yan Jin said leisurely: “With the thickness of my skin, do you think I’d feel awkward?”

[I’m going to die laughing because of Yan Jin. Yu Shu was worried she’d feel embarrassed, but forgot about the thickness of her skin.] [Yu Shu’s expression is also so funny. His look of heartache instantly froze on his face.]

Caught completely off guard by Yan Jin’s attack, Yu Shu took a moment before speaking: “I underestimated the thickness of your skin.”

How could he have forgotten that within Xiaoxiao’s personality, there was also the trait of a dead pig not fearing boiling water?!

“Next time something like this happens, please have faith in the thickness of my skin.” Yan Jin said seriously: “Generally speaking, as long as I’m not embarrassed, it’s others who will feel embarrassed. But usually I won’t feel embarrassed at all.”

“Xiaoxiao.” Yu Shu was amused by Yan Jin, the corners of his lips curving up high. “You’re making me laugh again.”

During the meal, two male students happened to sit at the adjacent table.

Although Yan Jin had no intention of eavesdropping on others, they didn’t conceal their volume. So the laments of the two students next to them about being too fat fell into Yan Jin’s ears.

After they finished eating, as they were preparing to leave the cafeteria to find Bai Bai Zhi, Bai Bai Zhi actually came to the cafeteria.

“Yu Shu, are you alright?” Bai Bai Zhi looked concerned. “I only knew that drinking Nanjiang water is good for the body, that’s why I wanted you all to drink it. I just didn’t know your body would react so badly.”

Before Yu Shu could speak, the two students next to them who were worried about being too fat chimed in.

“Although there was a bit of an accident, Bai Zhi also had good intentions. He didn’t expect you wouldn’t be able to handle it, Yu Shu.”

“Yeah yeah, we’re all men, we should look out for each other.”

The two students weren’t actually close with Yu Shu, but who didn’t know about the currently popular Yan Jin?

Although looks are secondary when choosing a wife-master, who doesn’t like someone good-looking?

Moreover, Yan Jin isn’t just a pretty face.

Not to mention, just based on the highly learned Mr. Wang praising Yan Jin a few times, one can see Yan Jin has a limitless future.

But Yan Jin is inseparable from Yu Shu, they don’t even have a chance to get close.

Now there’s a ready-made opportunity to step on Yu Shu and elevate themselves, how could they not seize it firmly?

Women all like men who are gentle and know their place. If they can show their consideration in front of Yan Jin, she will definitely realize that while appearances are secondary, the most important thing is to be virtuous and thoughtful.

The two students were lost in their fantasies, not knowing that Yan Jin found them annoying.

Originally Yan Jin didn’t want to speak up, but hearing them actually try to morally coerce Yu Shu, thinking that Yuanyuan has a good temper and definitely won’t say anything too harsh, they would force him to forgive Bai Bai Zhi.

If Bai Bai Zhi really had good intentions but accidentally caused harm, and Yu Shu accepted his sincere apology, then Yan Jin wouldn’t intervene in this matter.
