After leaving Xu Yanran's house, LingFan stumbled towards Su Moran's house.

After leaving the forest garden, LingFan slowed down his pace, panting slightly, and began to adjust his breathing subconsciously.

Endurance was not LingFan's strong suit. Just running from Xu's house to the entrance of the forest garden had already consumed most of LingFan's stamina.

Huff... Huff...

Bent over and panting, LingFan took a while to adjust his breathing to a normal frequency.

Then, LingFan, still unsettled, looked back.

"Am I an overly sensitive person? But my stamina is really weak..." LingFan shook his head helplessly and stopped thinking about it.

Su Moran was still waiting for him at home. After settling dinner with Su Moran, today would be considered a successful day. LingFan felt a bit excited when he thought about what kind of reward item he would get.

After a while, LingFan arrived at Su Moran's house. Su Moran had already seen LingFan from the window and opened the door as soon as LingFan arrived at the door.

"Moran, did you see me coming from somewhere?" LingFan asked with a question mark on his head, looking at Su Moran.

"Huh? No, LingFan. I was just waiting downstairs because it was almost time, and then I heard your footsteps." Su Moran had a serious expression.

"Really?" LingFan felt even more confused. Were his footsteps really that loud?

"Really, LingFan, don't you believe me?" Su Moran's expression started to become a little aggrieved.

"I believe, I definitely believe you." The image of tissue paper in the shape of a small hill appeared in LingFan's mind, and he quickly corrected his way of expressing himself.

Moreover, even if Su Moran was lying to him, he wouldn't gain any benefit from it. LingFan was simply too naive to think otherwise.

"Alright, let's go. I'll take you out for dinner." LingFan didn't bother to change his shoes and waited outside for Su Moran.

"Okay, I'm coming out now." Su Moran put on her shoes, which were cute on her small feet, and walked to LingFan, closing the front door on the way.

The two walked side by side, chatting while taking a walk. Su Moran seemed intentionally slowing down her pace, and LingFan had to slow down his speed to accommodate the petite Su Moran.

What is this? At the entrance of Xu's villa, Xu Yanran, with lifeless eyes, kicked a notebook. She didn't want to pay it any attention at first, but when she glanced at it, she realized it belonged to LingFan.

Since it belonged to LingFan, she naturally had to keep it safe and catch the person later.

With this in mind, Xu Yanran picked up the notebook and casually opened the first page.

"The Teaching Plan by Xu Yanran" appeared in her eyes.

"My teaching plan?" The broken doll tilted her head, and the dagger in her hand unintentionally fell to the ground.

Xu Yanran started to flip through it.

LingFan and Su Moran unknowingly arrived at the place they would have lunch.

"You really like this restaurant, huh? It seems that the food here suits your taste." LingFan realized that he had come to the restaurant for lunch again.

"It's not bad, maybe because I'm used to the food here." Su Moran replied.

After being led by the waiter, the two found a seat.

As for ordering, LingFan naturally left it to Su Moran to handle. He hadn't eaten here before, so it was better to leave it to someone experienced.

"Su Moran, are you also having lunch here? What a coincidence." After Su Moran finished ordering, a male voice came.)LingFan followed the sound and saw a boy wearing a basketball jersey, appearing in LingFan's line of sight. He looked like a sporty junior high school boy who was very popular among girls in school.

"Oh, so it's Zhang Sheng. I just happened to be eating here, it seems like you come here often," LingFan said.

"Even if you come here by chance, we can still meet. It must be fate. How about we sit together? It's just the two of us, and you also know Liu Kun," Zhang Sheng said, pointing to another boy who appeared next to him.

After speaking, Zhang Sheng, along with Liu Kun, started walking towards Su Moran.

So he must be Liu Kun, dressed in a basketball jersey as well, looks like a basketball teammate, LingFan thought to himself, observing Liu Kun briefly.

"No thanks, it's too cramped here. LingFan and I are good enough as a pair, we don't need to sit with you," Su Moran frowned and rejected Zhang Sheng's proposal.

"LingFan? Is that him?" Zhang Sheng pointed to LingFan standing next to Su Moran.

"Yes, he is LingFan. I am having dinner with him today. If we want to eat together, let's plan for another time," LingFan wanted to speak up, but Su Moran beat him to it.

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng carefully looked at LingFan, realizing that LingFan was dressed casually without anything particularly special about him. Even the phone on the table was just an ordinary one. However, Zhang Sheng sensed a different aura from LingFan compared to others of the same age, which made him a bit curious.

Someone who can dine alone with the daughter of the Su family is naturally not ordinary. And it seems like LingFan's attention is not fully focused, while Su Moran keeps watching him. Zhang Sheng was not a brainless playboy.

"In that case, apologies for the disturbance. Liu Kun, let's go sit over there," Zhang Sheng pointed to another table, and Liu Kun went there first.

Zhang Sheng originally wanted to follow, but he seemed to think of something, turned around and said to LingFan, "Nice to meet you, Brother LingFan." LingFan seemed older than himself, so this "brother" shouldn't be wrong.

After that, Zhang Sheng glanced at Su Moran from the corner of his eye and noticed that her expression had improved a lot.

"Nice to meet you too. You guys go ahead and have your meal," LingFan politely greeted, and then Zhang Sheng went towards Liu Kun.

"Moran, are they your classmates?" LingFan asked Su Moran.

"They used to be, but not anymore. They study at Changli," Su Moran smiled softly, speaking gently as LingFan asked her.

Changli? Isn't that the same school as Xu Yanran?

After dinner, LingFan sent Su Moran home and left Junhao Garden, preparing to take a taxi back.

"I still can't stop worrying about Xu Yanran. I should go check on her again." LingFan remembered the sense of fear he had in the evening and couldn't help but tremble.

LingFan slapped his cheek and thought, It's like going into a lion's den, but I have to take a look.

Suddenly, LingFan thought of something and opened his backpack to check.

"Oh no, Xu Yanran's lesson plan is left at her house. This is bad, if someone sees it, they will think I'm a pervert!" LingFan panicked and hurriedly ran towards Xu Yanran's house.

Xu Yanran's lesson plan was different from Su Moran's. LingFan would rather leave Su Moran's lesson plan at Xu Yanran's house. LingFan would write down the changing conditions of each student in the lesson plan, and then refer back to the previous records for revision before each teaching session.

This was LingFan's requirement for his work attitude. If he took the money, he had to do things well.

Su Moran had always been compliant and her lesson plan was normal, but Xu Yanran's was different. It included LingFan's observations of her personality and changes in her learning method, as well as his own speculations.

It would be terrible if it was mistaken for some kind of "beautiful girl observation diary" or some other weird thing.Oh, no! I should have taken something and left even if it meant risking my life!

LingFan's feet were running while his heart roared.

The broken doll was flipping through the teaching materials LingFan had written for herself in the study.

Today was the first time I met Xu Yanran. I found this little girl to be a bit strange, and her grades were poor. Teaching her would be quite challenging. The initial teaching plan should be...

Xu Yanran wasn't interested in reading the teaching plan. She only wanted to read the first few sentences. Then, she flipped a few pages.

It's the fourth week now, and Xu Yanran still feels strange to me. Her grades have improved, but not as fast as they should. Could it be that my teaching methods have some issues?

In the eighth week, there was something indescribable in Xu Yanran's gaze. I speculated that she must have some kind of shadow in her heart. Adjust teaching methods...

In the tenth week, she's a strong girl who holds a lot inside her heart. It's safe to say my speculation is mostly correct. Let's start adjusting the teaching plan...

Xu Yanran kept flipping the pages, and gradually, her eyes filled with brightness.

Unconsciously, Xu Yanran reached the last few pages.

In the fortieth week, Xu Yanran's condition has significantly improved. Her progress is within expectation, and there's a need for a change in the teaching plan...

In the forty-third week, based on weekly observations, the teaching effect has been remarkable. Xu Yanran has reached the desired state. Her smile is beautiful; she is a lovely girl. Despite being a bit clingy, it doesn't matter. I should treat her like a little sister. The adjustment of the teaching plan enters the final stage.

I misunderstood LingFan.

LingFan has been paying attention to me.

LingFan has known my thoughts for a long time.

LingFan has been helping me in his own way all this time.

I am such a fool. How did I not know anything?

As Xu Yanran read this, she didn't even notice. Tears filled her face, and the page was already soaked.

With her head lowered, tears glistening in her eyes, an indescribable feeling began to amplify, then plummet, and shattered like pearls, scattered on the ground.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a word. Then, instinctively, she bit her lip, and the room was filled with sobbing.

At this moment, LingFan finally arrived at the door of Xu Yanran's house and sat down on the ground.

"Oh, I almost went to see that man who symbolizes freedom." LingFan didn't care about his image anymore. Squinting his eyes, he looked at the stars in the sky, panting heavily.

Then, LingFan looked at the lights of the Xu family house and noticed that all of the lights in the front were off. He looked at Xu Yanran's room, which had no light inside.

"Xu Zhonghao must be busy. He doesn't even have time to come back and accompany his daughter on weekends." LingFan complained. If there were no lights on, then surely no one was home.

The study was behind the villa, which LingFan naturally didn't see.

But LingFan didn't give up and stood up to knock on the door.

"Anyone there? I'm LingFan. I left something very important here. Could you please open the door!" LingFan yelled.

Xu Yanran heard the noise at the door early on and ran to her own room, secretly peering outside. She saw LingFan knocking on the door downstairs.

Something very important? Xu Yanran hugged the teaching materials LingFan had written for her.

With her makeup smudged, Xu Yanran knelt on the floor, leaning against the wall. Her swollen eyes were filled with tears like broken pearls. But she covered her mouth, afraid of being discovered by LingFan that she was home.

She didn't want LingFan to see her in such a state.

"Oh, it seems like it's over. I'll have to come back another day to retrieve it. Hope the big shots don't open and read it, especially Xu Yanran. If she reads it, she'll probably think I'm a pervert..." LingFan, like a defeated rooster, left the Xu family with dejectedness.

LingFan didn't know that Xu Yanran had already gone through the teaching materials he had written, nor did he know that he narrowly escaped trouble because of it.Xu Yanran slowly propped up her body and secretly watched LingFan leave.

After a busy day, LingFan finally returned to her own home.

"Well, if I can successfully get through tomorrow, I can finally get my reward. I can't wait," LingFan, who had successfully survived the day, was in a great mood. She then went to take a shower and rolled onto the bed, ready to battle it out with Zhou Gong in her dreams.

In her own bed, Xu Yanran placed a photo frame with LingFan's picture on the bedside table. Even though there was no one else at home right now, Xu Yanran didn't feel scared or lonely.

In the photo, LingFan was bathed in the sunset, with a smile on her lips.

With swollen eyes and tear stains all over her face from crying, Xu Yanran finally fell into a deep sleep.

In her dream, she saw LingFan again, the first time he saw her, with pure eyes devoid of any desire.

Who was it, with gentle eyes, like redemption.
