The Older Brother of My Student is My Secret Crush-Chapter 27: Stay at My Place.

Far away from the previous clamor, there was only silence left. At this moment, Yu Na realized that she was not very good at hiding her emotions.

Her hand stopped on the car handle, unconsciously increasing her grip strength. "What's the matter?"

"Are your parents determined to come?"

"Hmm?"

She seemed to not expect that Xiao Chen would ask her this question.

She said: "Probably, I haven't contacted them recently."

"Don't consider finding a new house. I have a house that no one lives in. If you're afraid your parents aren't satisfied with where you currently live, you can go to my place."

Yu Na was stunned, her hands turning ice cold. She really couldn't figure him out.

Last time he earnestly advised her to return to her parents and carefully negotiate with them, each side making some compromises.

This time, he just directly told her to go to his place.

Seeing that she wasn't speaking, Xiao Chen faintly smiled and said, "Don't worry, at my place, your parents probably won't be able to find any flaws."

"That's not it," Yu Na asked in puzzlement: "Why do you suddenly want to help me?"

"What do you mean by that?" He raised his eyebrows. "Do I have to find a reason?"

"......"

Xiao Chen broke the awkward atmosphere and jokingly asked her: "You don't need my help with this? That's fine too, then—"

"I do need it!"

Yu Na had always kept this matter in her heart.

It was just that her parents hadn't given her an exact time yet. She was busy with work and too lazy to ask about it.

She thought that after her parents gave her the exact time, she would figure something out. As a last resort she could find an Airbnb to barely get by.

At this time, an available option just presented itself to her, so of course she had to seize this opportunity.

"Where exactly is your house located?"

"Huating One."

Huating One was very close to Yunwan Mansion.

All kinds of luxury high-end residential areas were scattered around that region.

Yu Na seemed embarrassed to directly ask, but she had to ask this question. "Then—" She paused again before finally deciding to just go for it. "How much does it cost per night?"

Xiao Chen hadn't considered this question, but seeing her serious expression, he couldn't help but want to tease her. He pretended to be serious and said: "According to normal prices, probably around 5,000-6,000 yuan per night."

"......" Yu Na: ???

"Then I'll just think of another way..."

Xiao Chen burst out laughing with a "pfft".

He remembered back when she would hire people to accompany her eating, drinking, and having fun, paying them 500 pounds a day.

Back then, Yu Na spent 500 pounds as easily as if it were 5 mao. And now hearing 5,000 yuan, her dumbfounded expression was as if she had heard an unreachable number.

Xiao Chen couldn't bear to tease her anymore. It was also getting late and he was dead tired.

"I'm just joking with you. I'll lend it to you for free. Whenever you need it, just send me a message and I'll give you the keys at that time."

Yu Na asked in disbelief: "Really?"

"Yes."

"Actually—" She remained modest while keeping her distance. "I'll probably only need it for a day or two. I'll just let them take a look at where I'm living. As for them, they'll probably stay at a hotel."

"Okay, arrange it however you like."

Yu Na hadn't considered letting her parents stay there. After all, it was someone else's home. Even if no one lived there, staying at someone else's home would still be inconvenient to some extent. f𝐫e𝚎we𝚋n𝐨𝘃el.𝗰𝗼𝐦

Plus, given her understanding of her dad, he was only coming to gloat at her misfortune. As long as he saw that she wasn't doing well, he would feel at ease.

Lying in bed, Yu Na felt it wasn't right to accept someone else's favor for no reason. So she sent Xiao Chen a message—【I owe you a favor. If you need my help with anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'll help as much as I can.】

1: 【Okay】

1: 【Going to sleep now, I'm dead tired after being busy all day】

After seeing his reply, she suddenly remembered the dark circles under his eyes. She replied: 【Good night】then put her phone aside.

She felt that secretly being in love was something that tortured people yet was also easy to indulge in.

Because of a little sweetness, she would incessantly find psychological comfort for those bitter memories.

The inexplicable conflict from last time seemed to really be because she was too sensitive.

Although she knew that her leaving or staying didn't matter to him at all.

But it seemed that last time, she had also misinterpreted his meaning.

In this relationship, Yu Na thoroughly experienced the sour, sweet, bitter and spicy. Every night she could imagine different little scenes playing out.

She had blamed him before, but every time he appeared, all the negative voices would be drowned out by her racing heart.

It seemed like this time was the same.

It was uncontrollable.

...On Monday morning, Yu Na got up late and didn't plan on putting on makeup. After washing her face, she prepared to head out.

Just then, Xiao Chen sent her two WeChat messages—

1: 【Let Qiao Rui rest for one more day, his leg still hurts】

1:【I supervised him writing his homework, I'll give it to you in a bit】

Yu Na was stunned for a moment. Carrying a vague anticipation, she replied:【How will you give it to me?】

1:【I left it at the school gate, I'm waiting there to go run some errands】

"......?"

Her heart instantly sank.

Ugh. Annoying.

He couldn't hand it to me in person?

Yu Na twisted her lips in displeasure and replied with a simple "【Okay】" before stuffing her phone in her pocket and drinking a few gulps of water. She then hurriedly set off.

After arriving at the school, she knocked on the security guard booth's window.

It wasn't Uncle Li this time, but rather Uncle Zhao.

Yu Na asked: "Uncle Zhao, a student's parent just dropped off some homework here a bit ago, do you have it?"

Uncle Zhao smiled brightly: "It's Qiao Rui's parent right?"

"Yes."

"Wait a moment."

At this time, the school gate was bustling.

Many students took the initiative to greet Yu Na.

She returned their greetings one by one with a smile.

"Teacher Yu." Uncle Zhao called her from inside. After she turned her head, he handed her a bag, "Here you go."

Yu Na took it and only then realized there was not only Qiao Rui's homework from all subjects inside.

There was also breakfast: a sandwich and milk. Through the bag she could feel that the food was still warm.

Yu Na froze on the spot, her heart already racing.

This wasn't the first time he had bought her breakfast, so why did it make her feel so strongly this time?

Was it because it came without any notice?

The clamor at the school gate pulled back her wandering thoughts. She thanked him and carried the bag back to the office, distributing Qiao Rui's homework to the various subject teachers.

Sun Yan was also substituting the math class for Class 3.

After Yu Na gave the homework to Sun Yan, she casually flipped through it.

Then her motions suddenly stopped. "Hey Teacher Yu?"

Yu Na was eating her breakfast. "What's up?"

"You're sure this is Qiao Rui's homework?"

"......Yeah, why?" Yu Na answered in confusion.

"Nothing, it just seems—" Sun Yan went from skimming it to carefully going over every page. She slowly said: "The multiple choice and fill-in-the-blanks are all correct."

Yu Na put down her breakfast and walked over to Sun Yan's side to look over Qiao Rui's homework with her.

She discovered that not only were all the math problems answered, they were all correct.

Next to the math problems were surprisingly even formulas and notes written.

She suddenly recalled that Xiao Chen had said he supervised Qiao Rui in completing his homework.

It was probably like with her.

He went over one problem, then Qiao Rui would do one problem.

Sun Yan checked his long-form questions and was even more shocked. "The long-form questions are all correct too!"

She turned and marveled at Yu Na in disbelief: "Is this really the Qiao Rui I know?"

Previously, all his math assignments were nonsense scribbles.
