I am not just a tycoon

Shen Yuan's tone sounded very sincere. After pondering for a moment, Lih Xiao replied, "In that case, you could actually give it to another girl. There's no need to give it to me."

Shen Yuan added, "I think giving this bag to you would be the most meaningful for me, counselor. You shouldn't feel burdened by it; it's really cheap, just over two hundred yuan."

"In that case...."

Lih Xiao still hesitated, feeling it was inappropriate to accept it but also inappropriate not to. While she was undecided, Shen Yuan simply placed the bag on the shoe cabinet inside the house: "Stop saying that, counselor. Just take it, consider it a small token of appreciation from a student."

"Moreover,"

Shen Yuan's expression suddenly became serious: "I want to cut off all ties with Zhou Wanting, including all these external objects. I can't stand to see these things anymore."

You have to take it! How can I get the cashback if you don't?

Lih Xiao was still unaware that Shen Yuan had already started his performance. Thinking of Zhou Wanting, who heartlessly got into a luxury car that afternoon, she suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards the current Shen Yuan and decided not to be coy anymore.

"Alright then, I'll keep this bag for now. Later, when there's a holiday or it's your birthday, I'll give you a return gift."

Seeing that Lih Xiao finally agreed to take it, Shen Yuan felt relieved. He joked, "If the other guys in class see this, they'd be green with envy."

Lih Xiao's face blushed slightly, and upon thinking it over, she realized a return gift indeed wasn't appropriate...

Just then, a smell of burnt food drifted from the kitchen. She stomped her foot in alarm and quickly turned to run towards the kitchen: "Oh no, my stir-fried pork!"

Shen Yuan was amused, accustomed to seeing the competent counselor, and found it quite charming to see her flustered now.

After watching for a while, Shen Yuan decided it was time to leave. He yelled inside: "Counselor, I'm heading home now!"

Lih Xiao's pretty face peeked out from the kitchen doorway: "Don't go home. Eat here with me."

"That wouldn't be appropriate, counselor."

Shen Yuan was just feigning courtesy; he would prefer to stay for dinner, enjoying a meal with the beautiful counselor would surely be more delicious than eating at home.

The key was to increase proximity to improve the Feel-good Index and thereby receive more system cashback.

Moreover, he was curious about what kind of partner Lih Xiao had chosen.

"What's the harm in a meal? Plus, there's enough rice. I cooked extra today."

"Alright then."

Shen Yuan walked in confidently, taking a few glances around the room. It was similar to the typical girl's place but comparatively neat and clean with no unnecessary furniture or clutter, showing that Counselor Lih was someone who favored cleanliness.

Especially the faint scent in the room, it was particularly refreshing.

"I'll use the restroom."

After taking a quick look around, Shen Yuan excused himself and entered the bathroom.

He had just noticed some small details: firstly, there were no men's shoes in the shoe cabinet; secondly, there were no men's clothes on the balcony.

Now, entering the bathroom, Shen Yuan grew more puzzled because, although there were two toothbrushes, he didn't see a razor or men's face wash.

Moreover, all the towels were either light pink or white.

Could it be that they haven't started living together?

Shen Yuan deduced this reason as quite possible; maybe her partner just came over for meals, but they weren't living together.

But these were all speculations, and Shen Yuan still harbored a slight hope that if the counselor didn't have a partner, how great that would be.

Emerging from the bathroom, Lih Xiao had already served the stir-fried pork, steamed pork ribs with taro, hand-torn cabbage, and kelp soup on the table.

The stir-fried pork used red and green chilies and not only exuded a meaty fragrance but also sizzled with hot oil on the surface. The taro pork ribs were sprinkled with green onions, emitting streams of white steam.

It was a feast for the eyes, smell, and taste, and Shen Yuan couldn't help but swallow a few times. Whoever had the luck to marry Teacher Lih home, would truly be living the dream.

Not only was she perfect in both looks and figure, but also adept in the living room and the kitchen, the most important being her considerateness.

"Ding!"

[Bank of Construction]Your card ending in 0098 received an income of 119,400 yuan on May 10 at 18:45, with a current balance of 120,200 yuan.

The money is here!

A 39,800 yuan bag, a cashback three times the price is 119,400 yuan, netting him almost 80,000 yuan after deducting costs and fees!

Shen Yuan had spent 80,000 before, but that was before his family went bankrupt. He had never earned this much on his own, especially since it felt like it was free!

Shen Yuan was so excited inside that he was practically breathless, but in front of Lih Xiao, he had to suppress his joy and turn it into praise, "I never expected Teacher Lih's English class to be so good, and her cooking as well!"

"Just okay, there's still room for improvement,"

Lih Xiao humbly said as she prepared to take off her apron. Midway, she suddenly remembered something and gave Shen Yuan a glare, "You have the gall to say that. You flunked my Business English final last year, despite attending my classes every day."

"I didn't perform well, I didn't perform well," Shen Yuan said with an embarrassed smile.

At that moment, Lih Xiao's apron seemed to be tied with a tight knot. She tried to untie it with her hands behind her back, slightly leaning forward which accentuated her prominent chest.

"Let me help you," Shen Yuan saw her struggle.

"No need..."

Just as Lih Xiao was about to refuse, Shen Yuan had already stood up and started untying her apron.

The two were very close, one in front of the other. Lih Xiao could feel Shen Yuan's breath on her, finding the posture and action uncomfortably intimate, her cheeks instantly turning pink.

Actually, the knot was not hard to untie, but to close the distance between them and increase his Feel-good Index, Shen Yuan deliberately slowed down.

"Is it done yet..."

Lih Xiao whispered faintly, the process felt too long, especially since they maintained the same posture throughout.

"Almost there,"

Shen Yuan whispered right behind her ear.

Lih Xiao felt a tickle in her earlobe, her face growing even hotter.

About thirty seconds later, Shen Yuan finally untied the knot and helped Lih Xiao remove her apron.

"I'll go dish up the rice,"

Lih Xiao turned away, heading into the kitchen. Being a teacher, she didn't want her student, Shen Yuan, to see her blush.

"Are we still waiting for someone?"

Shen Yuan asked loudly as if nothing had happened.

"No, let's eat first,"

Lih Xiao adjusted her emotions and came out of the kitchen with two bowls of steaming white rice for Shen Yuan. He was already a bit hungry, and hearing Lih Xiao say this, he was ready to dig in.

But just as Shen Yuan was about to start eating, the sound of the door unlocking with a "click" came from the door, and immediately after, a figure walked in.

"Why are you so late today?"

Lih Xiao got up, planning to get another set of chopsticks from the kitchen.

Shen Yuan instinctively turned his head towards the door, initially thinking it was Lih Xiao's partner, but to his surprise, it turned out to be a woman.

She was wearing a pair of exquisite black high heels, her legs sheathed in a pair of thin black stockings, and she was dressed in a professional suit, which looked like a flight attendant's uniform due to a scarf around her collar, usually only worn by flight attendants.

She also had a small black rolling suitcase in her hand.

Is she a roommate?

This thought only lasted a second in Shen Yuan's mind and then disappeared because, even though her hairstyle was different, Shen Yuan noticed that her face was somewhat similar to Lih Xiao's, and their figures were quite similar.

Both had balanced yet meaty legs, but her upper body was noticeably less endowed than Teacher Lih's—definitely not as voluptuous, even a bit sparse...

Based on Shen Yuan's experience, she was probably just filling an A-cup, at most a B.

Turns out they were sisters.

As Shen Yuan assessed her, she also noticed Shen Yuan's presence. She stopped what she was doing, her eyes flashing a hint of wariness.
