“What does this word mean?”

“I haven’t quite understood English grammar. Can you repeat that again?”

“I’ve never understood this English word…”

…

Since that day, Su Ning agreed to be his girlfriend, she brings various English practice books to him every day to ask for help.

Shen Mingxu scratched his head. Fortunately, he studied abroad when he was a child, so general English questions aren’t too difficult, but there are also many grammar questions he doesn’t understand!

Qi Xuan looked at Shen Mingxu with a funny expression as he read English books with a desk lamp nearby.

“Hey, this is a bar, you know…”

“Don’t make any noise!”

“Alright, just use this place as your study room!”

“Hey, hey!” Qi Xuan kicked Shen Mingxu. “Your little girlfriend is here!”

Shen Mingxu reflexively put the English book away and stood up to go to the entrance of the bar to meet her.

“It’s the other one…”

Seeing Jing Jing, whose eyes lit up when she saw him as she entered, Shen Mingxu sat back down, disappointed. He took out his English book, looked at his watch, and said, “One hour left, one hour left…”

“Mingxu!” Jing Jing hugged her school bag and walked over quickly. “Sorry, my mom enrolled me in a dance class these days, so I spent all my spare time learning to dance and couldn’t come…”

Shen Mingxu glanced at her faintly and said, “Is there anything else?”

“… No… Nothing…” Jing Jing held her school bag, standing still, feeling very nervous.

“If that’s all, you can go now.”

“… But… Mingxu… We haven’t seen each other for a week…”

“I said, you can leave! Understand?”

“… Mingxu… Are you angry?” Jing Jing said anxiously. “I didn’t mean not to come these days… It’s really…”

“Alright, alright, it doesn’t matter whether you come or not. Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. I don’t have time to deal with you.”

Mist rose in Jing Jing’s eyes. She blinked and said, “… Then I’ll go first…”

Jing Jing clutched her school bag, turned around, and took a few steps.

“Wait!”

As if hope was rekindled, Jing Jing immediately came back.

“I remember that you did quite well in class, right? I wonder if your English grades are good?”

She shook her head honestly and said, “My English grades have never been very good, so my mom hired an English tutor for me…”

Shen Mingxu directly handed the English practice book to her, pointing to the English reading question. “Try this question!”

“This question…”

“What’s the matter? Can’t you do it?”

“No, no, I’ll do it. I’ve done this set of questions before. The teacher told me…”

“Okay, then you do it for me. One hour, do as much as you can, and when you’re done, I’ll treat you to cake. Over there at the bar, besides the chocolate cake, you can pick whatever you want.”

“Mingxu…” Jing Jing was so moved that she held the English book and started doing it seriously.

Shen Mingxu also took the time to ask grammar questions, holding a pen and taking notes seriously, so much so that Jing Jing looked fascinated.

“Hey hey, keep doing it. There’s still half an hour left. Don’t get distracted…”

“Oh, yes.” Jing Jing snapped out of it and hurriedly focused on the English questions.

When there were ten minutes left, Shen Mingxu finally put down his notebook and said to Jing Jing, “That’s it, that’s all we have to do. Let’s go and get the cake…”

Jing Jing nodded with a happy look on her face. “Okay, Mingxu.”

Seeing the various cakes on the counter, she was stunned and said, “Can I pick any of these?”

“Yes,” Shen Mingxu nodded and said, “Except for the chocolate cake, you can take whatever you like. By the way, will you come tomorrow?”

“Mingxu, do you want me to come?” Jing Jing asked with hope.

“If you come and help me with the problems, I’ll treat you to cake…” Shen Mingxu said casually, his eyes always looking at the door of the bar.

As if seeing something, Shen Mingxu’s eyes clearly brightened, and he walked to the door of the bar and hugged a girl who had just entered.

Despite the smile on his face, Shen Mingxu still complained with dissatisfaction, “Why do you always come at nine o’clock sharp every day? Why don’t you come earlier? Or, just tell me where you learn dance, and I’ll pick you up.”

Su Ning shook her head and muttered, “No, you will disturb me.”

Shen Mingxu raised three fingers and said with a serious look, “I promise, I will only stand outside the door and watch. I won’t say a word. I won’t disturb you!”

“No, the teacher and my mother know each other. If you pick me up, my mother will be angry…” Su Ning changed the subject and asked, “I think I forgot my English practice book at your place yesterday…”

“Yes, I put it away.” Shen Mingxu smoothly held her hand and squeezed it in satisfaction before taking her to the table and chair where the lamp was placed. “I’ll help you finish your homework for today, and then we’ll stop and go shopping, okay?”

“Mingxu… Who is she?” Carrying a cake, Jing Jing appeared beside them, and suddenly asked.

“Why haven’t you left yet?” Shen Mingxu stopped the bartender and asked him to bring two glasses of juice. Then he looked at Jing Jing, frowning, and said, “What are you asking for?”

“Mingxu… She, she…” Jing Jing hesitated. “Is she your girlfriend?”

“Yes, she’s my girlfriend.” Shen Mingxu nodded. “What, is there anything else?”

“No… Nothing.” There was mist in the bottom of her eyes, tears gathering. She couldn’t help it. She lowered her head and reached out to wipe the tears away, acting carefully as if afraid of being seen by Shen Mingxu.

However, when she looked up, she realized that Shen Mingxu’s mind had long been occupied by the girl beside him, who was drinking her juice politely, and he hadn’t paid any attention to her at all.

From the bottom of her heart, a wave of resentment arose for some reason, and by some miracle, Jing Jing raised her voice and said, “Mingxu… I’ll help you with your homework tomorrow!”

Shen Mingxu, who was holding the English workbook and wanted to claim credit in front of Su Ning, was taken aback. He saw Su Ning ask inexplicably, “What homework?”

Shen Mingxu immediately tried to say something, but it was already too late.

With inexplicable pride, Jing Jing said loudly, “It’s your English homework! I did it for Mingxu!”
