Chapter 12. Goodbye Jing Yin

  Rebirth of the Officialdom

  Although being short of money is a big problem, refining those inferior products to cheat money is definitely not a long-term solution. Before cultivating enough stable divine power, Xiao Tianruo can only continue to tighten his belt.

  Fortunately, the brick he picked up outside the small district has been exchanged for a public post within Qingzhu University. In his spare time, Xiao Tianruo is now considering how to go further along this path.

  Returning to the ordinary life of eating and living, on the second evening, Xiao Tianru once again dialed the phone number of the tutoring school. After confirming that his "girlfriend" would arrive on time, all Xiao Tianru had to do was tidy up the room and wait for her arrival.

  At 4 o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang on time...

  "Hello, I am a teacher from Qingzhu High School Entrance Exam Coaching Class, may I ask..."

  Xiao Tianruo opened the door, and the home tutor waiting outside immediately bowed respectfully and introduced himself in a reciting manner. However, as soon as he looked up, this female university student who had just been admitted to Qingzhu University this year was stunned.

  Not only was the female college student stunned, but also Xiao Tianruo, who opened the door, was surprised. Two bundles of hair tied to her shoulders, a lovely ponytail, a delicate melon-shaped face, pure and elegant features, plus a timid expression and a spotless sky blue dress, wasn't it Xu Jingyin, who had helped him greatly during the college entrance exams?!

  "Haha, it's actually you..." Xiao Tian Ruo was the first to react and immediately burst out laughing and clapping. The two of them meeting again in this way was beyond Xu Jing Yin's expectations.

  Compared to Xiao Tianruo's simple surprise, Xu Jingyin, who stared at Xiao Tianruo with wide eyes, had a more complicated mood. At first, she couldn't help but feel delighted, but after being happy for a while, staring at Xiao Tianruo's unrestrained laughter, Xu Jingyin suddenly felt a cloud of doubt on her face.

  "Are you looking for a tutor?"

  Although she felt that something was off, Xu Jingyin still waited quietly for Xiao Tian to calm down, before asking with a hint of doubt.

  "Uh..." Siao Tian Ruo was so excited that he forgot to calm down, and when he did, he didn't know how to explain to Xu Jing Yin that he wanted to find a "temporary girlfriend" to fool his mom. After hesitating for a moment, seeing the distrust in Xu Jing Yin's eyes, Siao Tian Ruo quickly laughed and pulled her inside. "Hey, Jing Yin, you go in first, I'll tell you slowly."

  Ten minutes later

  "Your mom... forced you to find a girlfriend in college?!"

  After listening to Xiao Tianruo's long explanation, Xu Jingyin's face showed even more suspicion.

  "Believe it or not, I hired a female tutor just to deal with my mom. Get ready, she'll be off work soon. Then you pretend to be my girlfriend and chat with her for a bit, the rest will be taken care of by me."

  Xu Jingyin didn't believe it, and Xiao Tianruo was also helpless. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and experienced it himself, Xiao Tianruo would have found it hard to believe that there could be such an extreme mother in the world. Sometimes Xiao Tianruo couldn't help but wonder, with a mother like this, how strong must his resistance to interference have been in his past life, to be able to focus on his research without being disturbed...

  "Huh? Me?"

  Pretending to be a girlfriend, this kind of cliché plot has been seen many times in soap operas, but when it actually happened to herself, Xu Jingyin's face immediately turned pale. Such a strong reaction made even Xiao Tianruo worry about her, thinking that if she reacted like this now, wouldn't she be scared stiff when meeting her parents-in-law in the future?

  "What's there to be nervous about!" Xie Tianruo deliberately put on a relaxed expression to calm her down. "Later, you just need to say a few words to my mom and it'll be fine, what's the big deal?"

  "Oh... that... okay." After hesitating for a moment, under Xiao Tianye's expectant gaze, Xu Jingyin finally agreed. "That..."

  "Anything else? Let's talk about it together."

  After some thought, Xiao Tianruo finally decided to use this old classmate to deal with his own mother. The reason was simple: Xu Jingyun's timid and weak reaction might make Lin Ruxue believe more easily!

  "That... it's just a phone call, okay?"

  Her little face turned from pale to red again, and it was a bright red like blood gushing out. Xu Jingyun obviously thought of some more vulgar TV plot.

  "Or what?"

  He was at a loss for words in the face of this little girl's reaction, and Xiao Tianye asked back while sizing up Xu Jingyin's newly grown slender figure.

  "Wait a minute!" Xiao Tianruo stared at Xu Jingyin, who suddenly sat up straight and took out a file folder from beside her seat. "Hurry up and make a phone call to the tutoring school, say you're not satisfied with me, don't want a tutor anymore, and then sign here." From her briefcase, she pulled out the bottom feedback form and hastily handed it to Xiao Tianruo, gesturing for him to dial the number on the form.

  "Hmm..." did not understand Xu Jingyin's meaning, facing the paper and pen handed to him, Xiao Tianruo did not pick up the phone for a long time.

  "Hurry up, it's almost five o'clock. If you cancel after an hour, it will still count as a day. Hurry up and call to cancel the trial!" Seeing that Xiao Tianruo didn't react, Xu Jingyin also became anxious, so she dialed the phone herself and handed the receiver to Xiao Tianruo's ear...

  "In that case, wouldn't you have made a wasted trip?"

  At Xu Jingyun's request, the middle-aged teacher on the phone explained that he didn't want to be a tutor and hung up the phone. Xiao Tianru looked at Xu Jingyun in confusion, who was letting out a long sigh beside him.

  "It's okay, I still have a long-term tutoring contract, and the monthly commission is enough for my living expenses. But you, what a waste, actually finding a tutor just to help you make a phone call!" Seeing that Xiao Tianruo cancelled the trial before 5 o'clock, Xu Jingyun finally showed a relieved smile. With a relaxed tone, Xu Jingyun also started to scold Xiao Tianruo for being extravagant and wasteful.

  "Oh..."

  Xiao Tian Ruo felt that Xu Jing Yin's reaction was somewhat problematic, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what the issue was. He simply nodded perfunctorily and accepted Xu Jing Yin's "criticism". Just then, the phone that had just been hung up rang again.

  "Could it be the tutoring school's phone? No, they said that the employer can cancel the trial within an hour. Tian Ruo, quickly pick up the phone and see what's going on." Just as she had just put her mind at ease, the sudden ringing of the phone made Xu Jingyin's heart rise again. In a state of confusion, seeing Xiao Tian Ruo only looking at her reaction without picking up the phone, Xu Jingyin urged him to find out where the problem lay.

  "Oh, it's just over a hundred bucks, no big deal...". However, this proved the old saying "the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is", as Xie Tianye, the master of the matter, was completely calm and collected in the face of Xu Jingyin, who was even more worried than himself.

  Is this little girl trying to save money for herself?

  Muttering to herself, Xiang Tian Ruo had no choice but to pick up the phone in order to appease Xu Jing Yin and get her help in dealing with her own mother later. Contrary to their expectations, the caller was not from the tutoring school, but Lin Ru Xue from Zhongzhou who had just gotten off work.

  It was easy afterwards. Xu Jingyin, who had been suddenly dragged over, said a few words under the threatening gaze of Xiao Tianruo and handed the phone back to him. But this was already enough. Upon hearing that her son had gotten a girlfriend so quickly, and one he had "cultivated" since middle school at that, Lin Xueru immediately stated that she would call every day to ask about developments.

  However, how could Xiao Tianruo let things develop in a direction that is unfavorable to himself? With just a few words of nonsense, saying something about needing to accompany his "little girlfriend" shopping and the two needing some "private space", he easily obtained Lin Ruxue's promise not to actively call him to disturb him.

  "Jing Yin, thanks for today's help. By the way, since I wasted so much of your time, let me give you an extra lesson fee."

  After settling with Lin Ruxue, Xiao Tianruo's mood was also great. Xu Jingyun didn't want to stay long and didn't force it either. After sending Xu Jingyun to the door, Xiao Tianruo suddenly remembered that he had delayed someone else's work and hurriedly took out money from his pocket.

  "No need for that, I'm staying with relatives and don't have any use for money. I'll head back first, see you at school when it starts."

  If you want to make as much money as Xiao Tianyou, Xu Jingyin wouldn't have helped Xiao Tianyou cancel the trial just now. As soon as she went out, she was afraid that Xiao Tianyou would chase her out, so Xu Jingyin waved her hand and ran down the stairs in a hurry.

  "This little girl is not quite right..."

  Standing at the stairs, shouting to let Xu Jingyin slow down, until this little girl safely went downstairs, Xiao Tianruo finally felt relieved. Turning back into the house, reviewing Xu Jingyin's abnormal behavior since they met again, Xiao Tianruo couldn't help but whisper...
