"You can’t just quit being my tutor!" Ouyang Yifeng exclaid.
"With your current level, you don’t need anymore. Hiring as your tutor is just a waste of money. If you keep putting in this much effort, it’s not impossible for you to rank in the top fifty in the next exam," Ye Anhao said, even though she was short on money, she couldn’t let Ouyang Yifeng spend money for nothing.
"That’s not acceptable. Without you, I won’t feel secure," Ouyang Yifeng replied discontentedly, like a little child.
Ye Anhao found it amusing, "What’s there to be insecure about? Isn’t Young Master Ouyang usually very arrogant? How co you can’t be without now?"
"You don’t have to tutor , but at least finish this sester, okay?"
"Fine, I won’t be your tutor after this sester," Ye Anhao thought that finishing this sester wouldn’t be a bad idea, at least it would be completing what she started.
Just like that, another week passed.
That day, as soon as Ye Anhao entered the classroom, she heard there was a young major general coming to school for a lecture in the afternoon.
"I heard that the major general is only in his thirties," Student A said.
"Isn’t the rank of general pretty high? It’s impressive to reach that position in his thirties," Student B said.
"Of course. People invited to speak at our school are always remarkable. But most of the previous speakers have been in their forties or fifties; this one is pretty young," Student A said.
"Young? Not necessarily. Many people in their thirties are already balding, looking more like they are in their forties or fifties," Student C said.
"Even so, I’d still like to see this thirty-sothing bald man," Student A said.
Hearing their conversation, Ye Anhao couldn’t help but smile. She used to think her classmates were bookish nerds, but now in their senior year, they were showing their gossipy nature.
Li Qian, who was sitting behind her, patted her shoulder, "Anhao, are you going to the lecture this afternoon?"
Ye Anhao hesitated for a mont, then replied, "Yes, why not?"
If soone rose to such a high position in their thirties, he must be extraordinary. Listening to his success story wouldn’t be a bad idea.
At that mont, Ye Anhao just wanted to hear from a successful person, but when she sat in the auditorium and saw the speaker, she imdiately regretted it.
She stared blankly at the man on the stage. Who would have thought that the man who once took advantage of her would appear here as the school’s distinguished guest? Unlike previous etings, this ti he was dressed in a well-tailored military uniform, with various dals pinned to his chest. Although she didn’t recognize what those dals ant, she knew this man must have achieved many military honors.
However, to Ye Anhao, none of that mattered. She only cared about his identity.
A general? How could a general be so arrogant and shaless?
Ye Anhao clenched her fists and was about to get up, but Li Qian pulled her back, "The lecture is about to start, where are you going?"
"I..."
Before Ye Anhao could respond, another student impatiently said, "The student in front, please sit down, we can’t see anything with you standing there."
Seeing this, Ye Anhao had no choice but to sit down. As soon as she sat, she heard the discussions among the students around her.
"I thought the speaker would be a bald old man, but he’s actually so handso! Wow!"
"He’s still in his thirties, though."
"Isn’t it trendy for young girls to date older n now? I think thirty-sothing is fine."
"True, if he’s handso, age doesn’t matter as much."
"Exactly, becoming a general in his thirties is quite sothing. He must have both ability and a strong background. I heard his family background is very solid."
"Really? No wonder..."
Though the students’ conversations were not loud, Ye Anhao still heard so of it. She felt the air around her thinning, wanting to step out for so fresh air. But since they had chosen seats in the middle for a better view, stepping out would an passing by five or six other students, which was highly inconvenient. More importantly, she worried that her movent might cause a scene, drawing the attention of the man on the stage. Being so close to the stage, it was likely he would notice her, and that would be bad.
After thinking for a while, she decided to stay put to avoid unnecessary trouble. With so many students in the auditorium, as long as she didn’t stand out, he would probably not notice her.
However, she didn’t know that Ouyang Che had already noticed her when he first entered the auditorium. More precisely, he had anticipated her presence before he even ca to the school for the lecture.
Although she loathed the man in front of her, Ye Anhao had to admit he had every reason to be proud. Not only was he extraordinarily handso, but his speech was also engaging and far from tedious, making it very interesting. Glancing around, she noticed all the girls staring at him, eyes shining, almost ready to throw themselves at him.
Ye Anhao found it laughable, thinking that if they knew the man’s true nature, they wouldn’t be so infatuated. Turning her face away, she leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, hoping ti would pass quickly.
"Anhao, do you think the Major General is looking at ?" Li Qian, sitting next to her, suddenly patted her shoulder.
Ye Anhao’s heart skipped a beat. She opened her eyes hurriedly, only to find the man on the stage indeed looking in their direction. Ye Anhao’s gaze t his in midair. She felt her heartbeat almost pause at that mont.
He wasn’t looking at Li Qian; he was looking at her! He had noticed her!
Just as her heart was about to leap out of her chest, the man looked away calmly and continued his lecture on the path to success. But to Ye Anhao, it was all very ironic. As the saying goes, character cos before achievents. How could this man, with such poor character, have the right to stand there and teach them about success?
Fearing that the man might pull sothing again, she thought to herself. But then again, with so many people in the auditorium, he probably wouldn’t be as arrogant as before.
What Ye Anhao didn’t expect was that trouble finds you whether you like it or not. Barely surviving the lecture, she thought she was finally free. But no sooner had she walked out of the school gates than she spotted that army-green SUV by the roadside.
