Bian Shu was drunk.
Sun Tianjiao never expected that Bian Shu would half-wake, half-dream, leaning on the sofa in the private room, waiting until they were done.
Sun Tianjiao almost kneeled down on the spot to perform for Bian Shu.
Bian Shu must owe him a billion from his past life to be this considerate in this life.
“Bian… Mr. Bian?” Sun Tianjiao lightly pushed Bian Shu with his hand, cautiously calling out to him, afraid to push too hard and startle him.
Bian Shu was a very restrained and alert person. Even if he was half-conscious and sleepy, when he heard someone calling him, he forced himself to open his eyes.
A strong sourness hit him. Through the haze of drunkenness, he saw Sun Tianjiao’s flushed face.
Bian Shu’s eyelids twitched rapidly twice. He suppressed the dizziness as much as he could and spoke in a tone that he thought was usual, “Hmm, let’s go. I’ll take you home.”
But what he thought was normal was far from it.
Sun Tianjiao could still clearly feel that Bian Shu had drunk too much because his eyes carried an inexplicable affection, as if he were looking at his beloved.
Maybe his mind was already confused.
The driver rubbed his hands and looked at Sun Tianjiao awkwardly. “May I ask for your surname?”
Sun Tianjiao quickly said, “My surname is Sun. You go ahead and start the car. I’ll take Mr. Bian down.”
The driver nodded hastily. “Sure, sure. Thank you, Mr. Sun.”
He hurried downstairs and started the car.
Indeed, Bian Shu was the type of person with good alcohol tolerance who didn’t show signs of being drunk.
After Sun Tianjiao helped him stand up, Bian Shu swayed a bit on the spot. However, he managed to straighten his face, adjust his clothes seriously, and walked forward confidently, not needing any assistance.
Sun Tianjiao followed him cautiously from behind.
“What time is it?” Bian Shu asked.
Sun Tianjiao replied, “It’s half past ten now.”
Actually, it was quite early, but they didn’t expect these capitalist pigs to drink so heavily, getting drunk before midnight.
Bian Shu nodded. “Thanks.”
Sun Tianjiao couldn’t help but say, “No, no, no. I should be thanking you today.”
After Sun Tianjiao followed Bian Shu downstairs, his group of classmates hadn’t all left yet.
Because it was quite congested at this hour, and it was difficult to hail a taxi.
The closer they got to the commercial district in the city center, the fewer drivers were willing to accept orders because the distance was too short, the traffic was heavy, and it wasn’t profitable to make a trip. They would rather wait for airport pickups all night.
Although there was a subway they could take, Sun Tianjiao’s classmates all felt that it would be beneath them to take public transportation. They insisted on taking a car.
So, everyone was anxiously waiting with their phones, eagerly anticipating a ride.
Sun Tianjiao waved his hand with a bright smile to his classmates and instructor. “Goodbye, dear classmates and instructor. I’m taking my buddy’s car back now. Let’s get together again next time.”
Liu Sui: “…” Good riddance.
Tang Keqing: “…” Damn it.
Kan Mengmeng: “…” So annoying.
The instructor was getting old and sometimes didn’t think before he spoke. He signaled to two girls with his eyes.
“Hey, Keqing, aren’t you and Tianjiao buddies too? It’s unsafe to be out so late. Ask him to help take you two home.”
Tang Keqing’s expression stiffened a bit.
She couldn’t possibly muster the courage; Bian Shu didn’t even recognize her.
And Sun Tianjiao was still there.
Kan Mengmeng insidiously whispered to Tang Keqing, “It’s a great opportunity. You two can take the chance to revive your old classmate relationship. Anything is possible. You’re not lacking in anything.”
Tang Keqing was stirred by Kan Mengmeng’s words.
Many images flashed through her mind: she would get into Bian Shu’s car, talk about their past at university, naturally exchange WeChat contacts, then go for a meal, deepen their understanding, and finally develop a romantic relationship with Bian Shu.
Her expression changed subtly as her mind became more active.
If she didn’t seize the opportunity, she would have nothing. What did face matter?
She took a deep breath, took a step forward, and moved her lips, “Bian…”
Bian Shu was earnestly speaking to Sun Tianjiao, “You sit in the back with me.”
Sun Tianjiao hurriedly nodded, “Yes, yes, the co-pilot seat is reserved for Mrs. Bian, hahaha.”
Tang Keqing paused, her face turning pale.
Mrs. Bian?!
So Bian Shu already had someone by his side. Her thoughts just now were too embarrassing.
Kan Mengmeng also felt dumbfounded, “Oh my, he’s already married. Forget it, forget it, forget it.”
But Tang Keqing had already taken that step forward, and now she was stuck in an awkward situation.
However, Bian Shu stopped in his tracks, frowned in confusion, and asked, “What Mrs. Bian? I’ve been drinking, so I can’t drive. Wait until I can drive, and you can sit in the co-pilot seat later.”
Sun Tianjiao felt like kneeling down wouldn’t be enough to express his gratitude; he had to kowtow to Bian Shu.
No, twice!
Sun Tianjiao: “Alright, alright, you’re right about everything you said.”
Tang Keqing was stunned.
Was there a Mrs. Bian or not?
But before she could say anything, it was already too late. Bian Shu had already left with Sun Tianjiao, not even giving her a glance.
The driver was already waiting at the entrance of the restaurant.
Sun Tianjiao helped Bian Shu inside, just about to close the car door, but Bian Shu grabbed his hand.
Bian Shu lifted his gaze, his dark eyes hidden in the shadows, only his pupils reflecting the neon lights.
“Come in, sit with me.”
Sun Tianjiao hesitated and bit his lip.
Clearly, there was more space on the other side, and it would be more comfortable to sit there. If he entered from this side, he would definitely end up sitting on Bian Shu’s lap.
But how could you reason with a drunk?
Sun Tianjiao: “Sure, I’ll sit over there.”
Bian Shu didn’t loosen his grip at all, insisting, “Come in and sit.”
Sun Tianjiao: “…”
Fine, it seemed that when people were drunk, they became single-minded creatures.
It was just a matter of sitting on one side or the other, but now Bian Shu just couldn’t understand.
“Then, Mr. Bian, please move a little further inside. I can’t get in otherwise.” Sun Tianjiao forced a smile.
After contemplating for a few seconds, Bian Shu finally pulled Sun Tianjiao’s hand and moved further inside.
How much did he move?
Probably about ten centimeters.
Sun Tianjiao’s smile froze.
Didn’t he see the vast space on the right?
Did we really have to squeeze into this one seat?
Bian Shu: “Come.”
Sun Tianjiao: “Okay.”
Sun Tianjiao went all out. After all, Bian Shu was beautiful and kind-hearted. What harm was there in squeezing a bit!
He took a deep breath, first lifted his right leg, then slid his butt to sit beside Bian Shu. Immediately after, in a very tricky posture, he crossed his left leg over the right one, with only one side of his butt touching the seat, and used his left hand to push the door.
Bang!
His body trembled, and half of his butt was almost numbed by the door.
Bian Shu scrutinized him seriously throughout.
From his expression of despair to the cute crossed legs.
Bian Shu felt relieved, leaning back in his seat, murmuring, “I’m going to sleep for a bit.”
Sun Tianjiao: “What?”
He was going to get squeezed to death. He couldn’t hold this position for long before his legs went numb.
But Bian Shu, clearly having a lower IQ after drinking, didn’t notice his embarrassment at all.
Sun Tianjiao had no choice but to wiggle against Bian Shu.
Normally, when someone gets squeezed, they naturally move aside. But not Bian Shu.
Bian Shu reluctantly opened his eyes, with redness in the corners, and asked hoarsely, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
“Be good.”
“Okay.”
Sun Tianjiao gave up.
He deserved his numb legs. Who told him to brag today? Not all good things should fall on him. He had to pay some price.
Driver: “Mr. Sun, where do you live? I’ll drop you off first.”
Sun Tianjiao glanced at the dozing Bian Shu and asked, “Where does Mr. Bian live?”
Driver: “Mr. Bian doesn’t live far, just three kilometers away.”
Sun Tianjiao: “Let’s go to Mr. Bian’s place first! I’ll help you get him upstairs. I’m not in a hurry!”
He could only endure for three kilometers at most. Otherwise, his waist, which hadn’t been exercised for many years, would break.
The driver glanced at the unconscious Bian Shu through the rearview mirror. “Alright, thank you.”
With a press on the accelerator, the driver drove off.
Sun Tianjiao straightened up, carefully moving his right leg.
Bian Shu’s left leg was too close to him. Wrapped in black trousers, he could faintly feel the well-trained, beautiful muscle lines.
All thanks to the expensive personal training fees.
He was reluctant to spend so much money on working out, so he was a bit thin, with slender legs.
He was completely uncompetitive at the matchmaking corner in Central Park.
Just as Sun Tianjiao felt like he was running out of breath, they finally arrived at Bian Shu’s house.
Real estate was the main industry of the Bian family, so almost every residential area developed by the Bian’s had Bian Shu’s house.
Sun Tianjiao looked enviously at this supposedly multimillion-dollar average price property and couldn’t help but sigh at the endless pursuit of wealth.
Driver: “Mr. Sun, why don’t you wake up Mr. Bian?”
Sun Tianjiao swallowed hard and glanced at Bian Shu.
Bian Shu breathed evenly, sleeping soundly, hardly moving a muscle.
But his suit was being pressed down by Sun Tianjiao.
Reluctant to think about the price of the suit, Sun Tianjiao gently nudged Bian Shu’s arm. “Mr. Bian, wake up, we’re at your home.”
Bian Shu seemed to hear him, but it was difficult to open his eyes.
Sun Tianjiao hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to wrap his right hand around the back of Bian Shu’s neck, while his left hand encircled Bian Shu’s waist, attempting to drag him out of the backseat.
But this action brought him even closer to Bian Shu.
He was almost pressed against Bian Shu’s chest, a strong smell of alcohol wafting into his nostrils.
He even had the thought of how much the alcohol might be worth.
Bian Shu was jolted awake by his movement, finally opening his eyes.
The first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was Sun Tianjiao’s earlobe brushing past his lips.
Bian Shu blinked in confusion and subconsciously licked his lips.
Feeling the breath on his earlobe, Sun Tianjiao happily raised an eyebrow.
“Mr. Bian, you’re finally awake. We’re at your home, hurry and get out.”
Bian Shu’s voice was hoarse as he murmured, “Thirsty.”
Sun Tianjiao couldn’t wait. “There must be water at your home.”
Bian Shu remained silent, his gaze shifting away from Sun Tianjiao’s earlobe as he exerted force to get out of the car.
The underground garage was chilly, with a cold wind blowing in from unknown passages, tousling their hair.
The whistling wind carried a faint dampness. It had rained yesterday, and the water on the ground had not completely evaporated.
Through the milky white light of the garage, Sun Tianjiao’s clothes were stretched tight by the wind, clinging to his skin, outlining the graceful contours of his shoulder blades.
But Sun Tianjiao was unaware, gritting his teeth, massaging his waist and knocking his legs to increase blood circulation.
Bian Shu couldn’t help but think, If someone doesn’t know any better, they might think I did something to you in the car.
Driver: “I’ll lock the car. Mr. Bian’s house is on the top floor. Why don’t you take Mr. Bian to the elevator first?”
Oh, the top floor.
No wonder a wealthy person like Bian Shu would live in an apartment building.
Turns out it’s the top floor.
The top floor of high-rise buildings in the city center is much more expensive than ordinary villas.
On the top floor, there was often a garden, a swimming pool, and a leisure area, built almost like an art exhibition area, making it a pure land in the bustling city.
From top to bottom, enjoying the cityscape while sipping coffee, it was like living the life of a deity.
This house must be worth over a hundred million.
Sun Tianjiao secretly rubbed his hands, thinking that when he became wealthy in the future, he would definitely rent it for a day to enjoy.
With Sun Tianjiao’s support, Bian Shu boarded the elevator and soon arrived at his doorstep.
Sun Tianjiao looked at Bian Shu, who lowered his eyes and pressed his index finger against the door lock.
With a sizzle of electronic sound, the door popped open.
Before Sun Tianjiao could help Bian Shu inside, a hearty and loud female voice came from inside—
“Bian Piglet, why are you just coming back now!”
Sun Tianjiao’s heart skipped a beat.
A woman lives in Mr. Bian’s house.
She’s the real Mrs. Bian!
Oh, so Mr. Bian and his girlfriend have progressed to living together.
That means marriage must be on the horizon.
Mr. Bian is really a good person. Most wealthy second generations would play around before settling down, but he has such a sense of responsibility.
As the door opened.
Sun Tianjiao: “Mr. Bian drank too much. I’m his friend. Mrs. Bian, um…”
He couldn’t say it.
The girl in the living room had one pant leg rolled up, wore a single slipper, had a pen dangling from her mouth, her hair was a mess, and a pair of big round glasses hung on her nose. There was even a sticky note on her pajamas.
But!
Despite all this!
Through all these layers, Sun Tianjiao still saw her essence—this girl was too young!
Is she underage?
Mr. Bian?
An honest person?
The girl looked at Sun Tianjiao suspiciously, pinching her waist, tapping the ground with her slipper, and asked carelessly, “I’ve met all of my brother’s friends. Who are you?”
Bian Ning knew that Bian Shu liked men, so any unfamiliar man appearing in his life was highly alerting.
Because of her brother’s serious personality, any man could potentially become her future sister-in-law.
And this house belonged to her brother’s private domain. Even she was almost kicked out when she stayed here for two days. How could this stranger come?
Brother?
Sun Tianjiao suddenly realized.
So Mr. Bian has such a young sister.
It’s a misunderstanding.
Sun Tianjiao smiled kindly, “I’m a business partner with Mr. Bian. My name is Sun Tianjiao. Um, it’s normal if you don’t know me. I’ve only recently met Mr. Bian, and today was just a chance encounter, so I’m escorting him back.”
Bian Ning suddenly widened her eyes, and the pen in her mouth fell to the ground with a clatter.
Sun Tianjiao?
The Scum Master himself!
He’s changed so much from our university days, he used to be so plain and naive, but now he’s dressed quite expensively.
But expensive has its reasons. People judge others by their clothes, and he also looks better and more delicate than before.
Bian Ning stared blankly at Sun Tianjiao.
She recalled the times when she was following around like a horse’s tail, the sweet moments when she was protected and coaxed by Sun Tianjiao, and the joy of being fed after killing an enemy.
But when she thought about it, in Sun Tianjiao’s eyes, all of those were for her brother, so she felt complicated.
But!
Sword Three was Sword Three.
Although Scumbag Master even got an A in the game, she could still remember these trivial matters until now.
Bian Ning subconsciously tugged at her clothes, and the sticky note stuck to her pajamas fluttered down, landing on her duck-patterned slipper.
Bian Ning paused, turned her head to the mirror.
Bian Ning: “Damn?”
A complete lunatic.
This is her first meeting with Scumbag Master!
Sun Tianjiao looked at Bian Ning with a complicated expression, thinking that although they were siblings, their intelligence levels seemed to be on different planes.
“Well, why don’t you go and get your brother first?”
Bian Ning quickly snapped out of it, her lips twitched, and she said awkwardly, “I, I can’t move him.”
Sun Tianjiao whispered, “Can I go into his bedroom then?”
Bian Ning swallowed her saliva silently, cautious, “I guess you should be able to?”
Others would probably just be dead.
Sun Tianjiao didn’t catch the implication in Bian Ning’s words.
He originally wanted to wait for the driver to come up together, but the half-asleep and half-dreaming Bian Shu was not exactly light, and he couldn’t hold on for much longer. So, he had no choice but to follow Bian Ning’s direction and help Bian Shu over.
Bian Ning still felt like she was dreaming.
She had always wanted to see what Scumbag Master looked like, but despite her fantasies over the years, she had never succeeded, even though they were both in Magic City.
Now she finally saw him, although the situation was a bit complicated.
Sun Tianjiao took a few steps, paused for a moment, turned back, and couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you call Mr. Bian ‘Little Pig’?”
It sounds like a nickname for lovers.
Bian Ning had already placed Sun Tianjiao in the position of her elder in her heart, and said blankly, “My brother has a birthmark on his abdomen that looks like a pig’s nose.”
Sun Tianjiao: “.”
He tried hard to keep a straight face, and said seriously, “Thank you.”
He gathered strength again, propped up Bian Shu, and slowly walked towards the bedroom.
Bian Ning finally came to her senses and realized that even though Bian Shu, who was drunk, still looked like a jade tree facing the wind, she, on the other hand, looked disheveled.
She couldn’t accept this brutal comparison, so while Sun Tianjiao wasn’t paying attention, she slipped into the bedroom, rummaged through her makeup bag, and began to frantically touch up her makeup.
Sun Tianjiao finally managed to put Bian Shu on the bed, sweating all over.
Bian Shu fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and he didn’t even have time to take off his suit.
The expensive black shirt hugged his sturdy and handsome muscles, rising and falling with his breath. Due to the dragging movements along the way, the hem of the shirt slipped out from under the belt and hung loosely over his abdomen.
Sun Tianjiao was exhausted but dared not let his outer pants touch Bian Shu’s bed, so he simply sat on the carpet.
He crossed his legs, only propped up by his elbows on the edge of the bed, and whispered, “Is the belt too tight?”
It must be, considering how hard it is.
If he doesn’t sleep properly, he’ll probably wake up with congestion the next day.
Sun Tianjiao hesitated for a moment, cautiously reached out his fingers, found Bian Shu’s belt buckle, and with a little force, undid Bian Shu’s belt.
He felt Bian Shu’s tense abdominal muscles relax.
Ah, that’s better.
Sun Tianjiao fanned himself with his hand, speeding up the evaporation of sweat.
As he fanned, his gaze involuntarily drifted to Bian Shu’s abdomen.
A birthmark that looks like a pig’s nose?
Anyway, Mr. Bian is sleeping so soundly, he probably won’t notice even if he moves lightly.
Sun Tianjiao’s heart raced, he licked his lips, carefully stretched out two fingers, slowly pinched the corner of the shirt, and slowly lifted it up.
Hmm, there are abs indeed.
His face was so white, but his skin had a healthy tan, beautifully darkened.
Where’s the birthmark?
Right, on his abdomen.
Hidden by his trousers.
Sun Tianjiao’s throat tightened, and his restless devil’s claws finally reached for Bian Shu’s trousers.
And it had to be a branded suit; it didn’t even wrinkle much despite being handled like this.
He pulled Bian Shu’s waistband slightly, finally catching a faint red outline.
The birthmark was actually quite small, probably only as long as one section of a finger, a somewhat irregular circle, with two even fainter red spots inside.
If Bian Ning hadn’t described it, he wouldn’t have remembered the pig’s nose at all.
But with that impression in mind…
Pfft!
A pig’s nose! Hahahaha!
So cute!!!
Sun Tianjiao was thoroughly amused, his eyebrows curved into slits, his lips tightly pursed, afraid to burst into laughter.
But his rapidly rising and falling chest and slightly trembling shoulders exposed him.
He finally found a down-to-earth aspect of this high and mighty man.
Sun Tianjiao had enough of his laughter, released the hand holding Bian Shu’s waistband, let go of the lifted shirt, and was ready to pat his butt and leave.
As he looked up, Bian Shu lay on the pillow, staring at him with wide eyes, showing a complex expression in his eyes.
Sun Tianjiao: “….”
Bian Shu: “….”
An awkward silence lasted for about half a minute.
Sun Tianjiao felt like he had just pulled someone’s pants down and was stifling a laugh at their stomach.
This was going to be a tough one to explain.
Sun Tianjiao “whooshed” and jumped a meter away, cold sweat soaking through his back. He quickly waved his hands, stuttering, “I-I-I-I’m not gay!”
After saying that, he wanted to slap himself.
This was like confessing without being asked. Bian Shu hadn’t even questioned him yet, and he had already answered.
Sun Tianjiao thought he was about to be silenced by Bian Shu. However, after a moment’s reaction, Bian Shu suddenly smiled gently at him, his eyes shining black, “Is it good-looking?”
“Huh?”
Bian Shu’s voice was hoarse from the hangover, and his eyes weren’t completely clear, but he asked again with gentleness, “Is it good-looking?”
As if reasoning with a child, not angry or impatient, but coaxing gently, attempting to use charisma and moral suppression to make people completely submit.
So Sun Tianjiao licked his dry lips, his head spinning, and replied, “It’s quite good-looking.”
Bian Shu was satisfied, lowered his eyes contentedly, and made a short, almost inaudible hum from his nostrils, murmuring, “As long as it’s good-looking.”
Then, he closed his eyes openly, tilted his head slightly, and fell asleep.
Asleep?!
Sun Tianjiao was completely stunned.
So he wasn’t sober yet?
Oh my god, he’s the first person I’ve ever seen who can be so gentle even when drunk. He must be a saint!
Sun Tianjiao almost wanted to pray to Buddha on the spot.
This time, Bian Shu was really asleep.
Even the most restrained person couldn’t stay sober after getting drunk repeatedly.
Sun Tianjiao stood still for a while before he remembered that the driver was waiting to take him home.
Without much thought, he stealthily exited Bian Shu’s room, gently closing the door behind him, ready to leave without a trace.
As he was about to put on his shoes in the living room, a somewhat affected cough came from near the bathroom door.
Sun Tianjiao looked towards the sound, and there was Bian Ning wearing a pink and white mini dress, black thigh-high boots, one leg in front of the other, showing off her straight and slender legs. She casually flipped her brown wavy wig, and as she lifted her hand, her Cartier bracelet sparkled.
Although she looked elegant and beautiful, it was quite ridiculous when paired with her youthful face.
Sun Tianjiao: “???”
Bian Ning smiled faintly, took off her sunglasses, as if she were about to participate in a hosting interview, her lips lightly parted with honey-colored lipstick, her voice clear and elegant, “Mr. Sun, are you leaving?”
Sun Tianjiao looked at his phone and felt that Bian Ning was acting strange.
But then, Bian Shu wasn’t acting normal earlier either.
Nothing was normal about this day.
Sun Tianjiao was afraid of disturbing someone with chuunibyou, cautiously asking, “Is there anything else?”
Bian Ning: “….”
This wasn’t what she expected!
She thought that after dressing up carefully, Sun Tianjiao would be amazed, stunned, and speechless.
Then she would definitely smile disdainfully, elegantly walk over, and casually say, “You’ll never know what you’ve missed out on.”
Under Sun Tianjiao’s stunned and regretful expression, she would ruthlessly reveal the truth—
I am the lovely little disciple you heartlessly abandoned!
I am also the ignored, despised, and looked down upon fifth-grade elementary school student!
Once, you cut off all ties with me, not knowing my true identity as a young miss from the Bian family!
In Bian Ning’s mind, a scene of a particularly dramatic melodrama played out, but none of this actually happened.
Instead of being amazed by her appearance, Sun Tianjiao looked at her with a look that said she was crazy.
Bian Ning felt deeply hurt!
Sun Tianjiao cautiously said, “Then take care of your brother, I’ll leave first.”
Bian Ning couldn’t care less about many things at the moment and said urgently, “Wait! I have something to ask!”
Sun Tianjiao stopped with a pained expression.
Damn, he was the least good at communicating with children.
The deep chasm between him and chuunibyou had already been drawn by his prematurely mature corporate mentality.
There was no turning back, chuunibyou!
Sun Tianjiao: “What do you need?”
Bian Ning pursed her lips, annoyed, and pulled off her wavy wig, revealing her originally black and smooth hair. She muttered softly, “Can you solve trigonometric functions?”
“Huh?” Sun Tianjiao was puzzled.
Bian Ning lowered her head, rubbing the edge of her skirt in annoyance, “I have an exam tomorrow, and I don’t know anything about it. I was going to ask my brother to come back and teach me, but he drank too much.”
Sun Tianjiao pointed to himself, unbelieving, “You want me to teach you high school math?”
Thinking back to the last time she was deleted by Sun Tianjiao, Bian Ning regained her confidence in an instant, “Why not! Aren’t you a genius from F University? Can’t you even solve high school math?”
Sun Tianjiao, feeling guilty for owing Bian Shu so much, didn’t mind Bian Ning’s impoliteness towards him, but he was puzzled, “How do you know I’m from F University?”
Bian Ning paused, her eyes widening suddenly, and she froze.
Yeah, she shouldn’t know so much about Sun Tianjiao, but she saw it on Renren, and the impression was too deep, so she said too much without thinking.
“My brother seemed to have mentioned it.” Bian Ning said awkwardly.
“Bian Shu mentioned me to you?” Sun Tianjiao was even more puzzled.
What would Bian Shu mention him for?
He was just an ordinary partner. What could Bian Shu say?
Bian Ning shook her arm irritably, “Hey, you’re my brother’s friend, can’t you help me?”
Sun Tianjiao: “But your driver is still waiting downstairs for me.”
Bian Ning: “Then I’ll tell him to go first. There’s no traffic at this hour, and my house is not far from the subway station.”
Sun Tianjiao had nothing to say.
Bian Ning called the driver while pulling off her thigh-high boots.
Sun Tianjiao turned his head, facing the wall, not looking at Bian Ning.
After Bian Ning finished explaining to the driver, she looked at Sun Tianjiao’s back for a few seconds and said, “Let’s go, what are you daydreaming about?”
Sun Tianjiao frowned, “I’m not going to your room. You come to the living room, ask your questions quickly. After all, I’ve been out of school for almost ten years, so I might not even know.”
Bian Ning snorted and muttered to herself, “Still so serious.”
Bian Ning brought out a stack of textbooks, papers, and exercise books, spreading them out on the coffee table in the living room.
She wasn’t deliberately looking for trouble; she really had a monthly exam tomorrow.
Originally, she had hoped to get some guidance from her brother while staying at his place, but these past few days, Bian Shu had been exceptionally busy, with no time to spare for her.
Her family had also hired a tutor for her, but since high school study sessions were already long, every time she came home for extra lessons, Bian Ning would develop an unusually negative mindset and couldn’t concentrate on anything.
Yet, she had a strong sense of pride and didn’t want her classmates to privately comment that she was just a rich vase at home, unable to do anything.
However, her grades were indeed poor, to the point where both her father and mother had suspected that there might have been a genetic mutation when she was born.
Bian Ning pushed piles of practice questions towards Sun Tianjiao. “These are all the materials used in our school. Tomorrow’s monthly exam covers trigonometric functions.”
Sun Tianjiao took them and flipped through.
Bian Ning’s handwriting wasn’t particularly good, and it was especially large, occupying the maximum space with minimal ink, especially in the solution section. Each solution took up almost half the page, filled with various strange and quirky mistakes.
Sun Tianjiao nearly choked.
In his short study career, he had been fortunate enough to see such papers a few times while helping teachers grade assignments.
Of course, he was soon transformed beyond recognition by the torment, reciting sincerely to the teacher, “Teacher Chen, as the silkworm ages, the silk runs out, and as the candle burns down, tears start to dry. That’s you!”
The gray-haired homeroom teacher was instantly moved to tears.
Bian Ning chewed on the pen cap while nervously watching Sun Tianjiao. “I’m just a bit careless. I actually understand everything in class, but when it comes to doing the problems, I’m lost.”
Sun Tianjiao sighed. “How many points do you usually get on math tests?”
Bian Ning fell silent for a moment. ” A hundred and fifty or a hundred? ”
Sun Tianjiao: “Either is fine.”
Bian Ning: “A hundred and fifty would be about ninety, and a hundred would be about sixty.”
Sun Tianjiao: “I see.” Just barely passing.
Bian Ning leaned in closer, her eyes shining. “Is there a method that can help me improve by 40 points overnight? I’m running out of time.”
Sun Tianjiao put down the papers and looked at Bian Ning calmly, his smile forced. “If I had one, I’d switch careers immediately and invest all my savings in an educational institution. I can guarantee that within five years, I could buy out your entire family.”
Bian Ning: “….”
Fortunately, Sun Tianjiao had quite a bit of experience in grading assignments for teachers, so he understood the state and problems of students who weren’t particularly good at studying.
Sun Tianjiao said seriously, “Do you have a collection of your mistakes?”
Bian Ning pouted. “I just corrected them on the paper. I can just look at the papers directly.”
Sun Tianjiao shook his head. “You’re in high school now. You need a structured collection of your mistakes. For exams like the college entrance examination, with such difficulty, having a systematic review and summarization method, at least 130 points should be no problem, and above 140, you’d have to rely on your intelligence.”
Bian Ning was dumbfounded.
Sun Tianjiao continued, “You completely lack study methods, and you can’t focus. You’re not diligent enough.”
Bian Ning anxiously said, “These are the key issues, but I have my monthly exam tomorrow. I don’t have time to fix them!”
Sun Tianjiao picked up her exercise book again and said calmly, “It’s just a monthly exam, mainly focusing on specific unit knowledge. Most of the question types are repetitive. You just make too many mistakes on similar question types and don’t know how to summarize. Your short-answer questions are too casual. You think you understand, but you’re missing steps, so you’ll suffer in exams. Anyway, you should solve the short-answer questions with the help of your teacher in the future, and try not to make more than two mistakes in multiple-choice questions.”
Sun Tianjiao usually liked to boast a bit, drifting around the club like a gust of wind, seeming unserious, but when it came to work, he was in a completely different state.
He pulled out a blank piece of paper, took the pen out of Bian Ning’s mouth, wiped the cap with disdain, then wrote on the white paper, “Basic Types of Trigonometric Functions.”
Bian Ning stared at Sun Tianjiao in amazement.
Actually, Sun Tianjiao wasn’t the type of handsome guy in her eyes, at best, he was the cute type.
The handsome guy in her heart had to be like her brother, decisive, and with a deep gaze, not to mention having an eight-pack and profound eyebrows.
Her makeup performance in front of Sun Tianjiao was based on her self-esteem and vanity, not because she really thought her second-dimensional master was so precious.
But at this moment, looking at the neatly written, dark blue ink on the white paper, poured out so naturally and effortlessly by Sun Tianjiao, and the beautiful alignment, it was almost like a piece of art that could be displayed on a blackboard.
It turned out that he wrote so beautifully, so detailed, and so quickly.

Sun Tianjiao said casually, “Mr. Bian is very busy with his daily affairs, and your family can afford to hire a famous tutor. You should understand him.”
Bian Ning pondered for a moment. “You know how to feel sorry for my brother, not bad.”
Sun Tianjiao: “….”
He always felt that something was off about that statement.
