Shen Yuxuan stood outside the education center, constantly peering inside.
Teacher: "Who is that person at the door?"
Receptionist: "I don't know. She said she was waiting for someone. I invited her in to wait, but she said it was fine to wait outside. She's a strange person."
Teacher: "Waiting for someone? Waiting for a student or a teacher?"
Receptionist: "She didn't say. Maybe she's waiting for students to finish class."
The teacher glanced at the course schedule. Indeed, one class was about to end.
Teacher: "It must be Teacher Xiaoyun's sign language class."
Receptionist: "Probably. Hey? Are we heating up lunch today?"
Teacher: "No, my boyfriend is picking me up for lunch."
Receptionist: "Oh, how enviable. Then I'll go heat up my lunch. Can you watch the front desk for a bit?"
Teacher: "Go ahead."
At noon, the bell rang for the end of the last morning class. The sign language class finally opened its doors.
Mo Qingyun followed the students to the main entrance, bidding them farewell one by one, and then signed the course schedule at the front desk.
Her lessons for the day were successfully concluded.
As Mo Qingyun was about to return to the office, she noticed the girl standing at the door, her eyes darting around as if she wanted to come in but hesitated.
Mo Qingyun wrote a note and walked out.
Mo Qingyun's note: "Can I help you?"
Shen Yuxuan was holding a thermal bag, looking like she was here to deliver food.
Shen Yuxuan: "No, nothing..."
Mo Qingyun was a little surprised but didn't pry further.
However, as soon as she turned to leave, Shen Yuxuan grabbed her arm.
Shen Yuxuan: "Um, is Xie Youlin here?"
Mo Qingyun nodded. Xie Youlin was indeed at the school.
Shen Yuxuan: "Can you take me to find him?"
Mo Qingyun glanced at the bag in the girl's arms again and nodded with a smile.
Following Mo Qingyun inside, this was Shen Yuxuan's first time at Xie Youlin's workplace.
On the left side of the entrance, an entire wall was covered with photos of all the teachers in the center. Of course, the most prominent position was occupied by the sign language teacher who had recently become well-known online – Mo Qingyun.
Mo Qingyun led Shen Yuxuan to Xie Youlin's office and then knocked on the door.
Xie Youlin looked up and saw Mo Qingyun opening the door. He stood up, preparing to put on his clothes.
Xie Youlin: "You're here at the right time. What do you want to eat? Let's go for lunch together."
Xie Youlin hadn't yet noticed the person behind Mo Qingyun who was hesitant to enter. He looked up and explained to Mo Qingyun using sign language: "A girl came to find you. I brought her in."
Xie Youlin glanced towards the door and saw a girl indeed standing there with her head down.
Mo Qingyun beckoned, inviting Shen Yuxuan in.
Xie Youlin was a bit curious. Who would come looking for him here?
But as he walked a few steps towards the door, he immediately frowned.
Xie Youlin: "Shen Yuxuan? What are you doing here?"
Shen Yuxuan quickly placed the thermal bag on Xie Youlin's desk and stammered, "I, I came to deliver lunch."
Mo Qingyun quietly slipped out of the room. She wasn't the only one who was curious!
Some teachers who had also seen a strange girl enter the principal's office scurried over to Mo Qingyun to inquire.
Mo Qingyun quickly replied using sign language: "I don't know what's going on either."
However, Mo Qingyun wasn't really that concerned about Xie Youlin's personal life. She was in a hurry to pack up because she had promised to go house hunting with Ou Yunchen.
In the office, Shen Yuxuan kept her head down, not daring to look at Xie Youlin's face.
She knew that she wasn't Xie Youlin's real girlfriend, but merely an actress hired to play the part in front of Mrs. Xie. She had no right to come to Xie Youlin's workplace, let alone deliver lunch.
Xie Youlin: "If my father hired you, you can leave. Next time, just agree to it, you don't actually need to come and deliver."
Shen Yuxuan: "No, it wasn't Uncle Xie..."
Xie Youlin was displeased. He already found this troublesome girl somewhat irritating!
Xie Youlin: "I told you, you're just an actress, hired to deceive my mother. So don't get any ideas about me. If you're not getting paid, don't act."
Shen Yuxuan felt a little dejected. She also felt she had gone too far.
But ever since their first meeting, she had developed feelings for Xie Youlin. He was exactly her ideal boyfriend!
If she didn't genuinely like Xie Youlin, how could she endure being scolded while diligently playing the role of his girlfriend to appease Mrs. Xie!
Those words came from the bottom of her heart!
Xie Youlin took out his phone and transferred two hundred yuan to Shen Yuxuan.
Xie Youlin: "I've sent you the money. Can you leave now?"
Shen Yuxuan looked at the amount. On impulse, after receiving the money, she sent a red envelope of one hundred and fifty yuan back to Xie Youlin.
Shen Yuxuan: "Boss, you gave me too much! This meal isn't worth two hundred yuan!"
With that, Shen Yuxuan stomped away angrily. When Xie Youlin walked out of the office, he only cared if Mo Qingyun was still there.
Teacher: "Teacher Xiaoyun left just now."
