In the evening, as dusk approached, the day's tutoring finally came to an end. "Teacher Chu, here is your salary for today, a total of 1280 yuan!" Ning Er handed over the salary as per Mu An's request.
"Teacher Chu? Teacher Chu?" It wasn't until Ning Er called her several times that Chu Youmeng came back to her senses. She looked at the 1280 yuan in her hand, still feeling a bit dazed. Once, she had worked a whole day for just over twenty yuan. Now, she earned over a thousand yuan in just one day of tutoring. The income difference was more than fifty times!
Originally, she had taught for eight hours today, so her salary should have been 1600 yuan. But because she was still a bit shy in her speech, Mu An deducted 320 yuan from her pay. That was 320 yuan! Just thinking about it made Chu Youmeng feel a bit heartbroken.
"Teacher Chu, the young master said that he would like you to come here for tutoring every weekend, and the salary will be calculated in the same way."
"If the young master is here, you can just conduct the tutoring as usual. If he is not, you will need to record the day's lessons!"
"There is a camera in the study, and my grandfather will help out!"
"As for the transportation issue, the young master will arrange for someone to pick you up and drop you off for free! You don't need to worry about that!"
To be honest, Ning Er felt a bit envious. Aside from that girl who had pursued for three years without success and was quite ungrateful, it was the first time she had seen the young master care so much for someone. In fact, the young master was already driving himself to pick her up!
"Th-thank you!" Chu Youmeng said softly. She didn't know if it was due to Mu An's unintentional kindness, but the girl seemed less shy now, and her voice had unconsciously become much louder when talking to others. It was a significant improvement from before!
But Ning Er shook her head. "You shouldn't say that to me! I'm just the young master's maid!"
Who she should be saying it to was quite clear. Chu Youmeng bit her lip...
...
In the car, the girl stole glances at the man who was driving seriously, her expression complicated. "If you want to look, just look openly! If you sneak a peek, I will charge you!" Mu An joked.
"I-I wasn't sneaking a look!" Chu Youmeng quickly nodded. Perhaps because she was lying, her cheeks flushed, giving her a rosy appearance.
"If it wasn't sneaking a look, then it was looking openly!"
"If you look too much, be careful not to fall in love with me!" Mu An continued to tease shamelessly. The girl kept her head down and said nothing, but her face turned even redder, her ears almost completely flushed.
[Once again bullied by this bad guy, Chu Youmeng felt a bit shy, but it seemed she wasn't very resistant to this kind of bullying. Emotional fluctuation +11, congratulations, you have received the reward [Physique +1]!]
Mu An smiled without saying a word. As expected, the female lead was like a pure white sheet of paper; just a few words from him could make her blush. The emotional rewards were too easy to earn! If he encountered those mature women, saying such things would be less effective than discussing money for cars and houses! And once the topic turned to something more risqué, they could argue with him endlessly, possibly not stopping until one side was completely defeated!
Indeed, only a girl like this could give that first love feeling!
"From now on, I will pick you up and drop you off at my house for classes on weekends. If I'm busy, Ning Er will arrange for someone to pick you up!"
"You shouldn't go out to work part-time anymore; the salary from the two weekend days should be more than enough! Instead of wasting time on part-time jobs, you should seriously think about how to improve your study plan!"
"If your teaching effectiveness satisfies me, even if you're not working part-time, there will be extra salary rewards!"
Along the way, it was mostly Mu An talking. The girl just nodded slightly, occasionally wanting to share her thoughts, but she was quickly overwhelmed by Mu An's unreasonable words, leaving her too shy to speak.
This process also contributed a lot of emotional rewards for Mu An. Soon, they arrived at the building where Chu Youmeng lived. This was a rental in the old city, and everything around looked shabby. The safety at night surely wouldn't be very good!
"Are you really not inviting me up for a visit?" Mu An said, pinching the girl's chin with a smile.
Chu Youmeng's delicate little face turned red with embarrassment, but she did not struggle. After spending a long time with the other party, she gradually understood some of their personality traits. One of them was their extreme overbearingness, insisting on their way and not allowing others to resist! Therefore, as long as the behavior wasn't too excessive, she would go along with it. After all, she knew it wasn't that she didn't want to resist. It was just that her resistance was completely useless...
"Um... still no... not now! Next time!" Under the verbal onslaught of the other party, Chu Youmeng felt her cheeks flush and her head spin, and she was about to nod in agreement. But then she thought of her dirty and cramped stairwell compartment. Meanwhile, the other party lived in a magnificent villa... The huge disparity instantly overwhelmed her. A tremendous sense of suffocation hit her, making it impossible for her to breathe normally no matter how hard she tried! Saying this, she stumbled and pushed open the car door, fleeing upstairs in a panic.
[Chu Youmeng's feelings of disappointment and discomfort have increased by +15, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +3000]!]
"Hey, don't forget our bet!" Mu An suddenly shouted loudly at the silhouette. Upon hearing this, the girl stumbled slightly, and her pace upstairs seemed to quicken. As for what the bet was, it was quite simple. If Mu An could follow the study plan proposed earlier, meaning Chu Youmeng would keep teaching without caring about how well he absorbed the knowledge, he could still rank first in his major. Then Chu Youmeng would have to be his girlfriend, and it must be willingly! If he couldn't do it, then Mu An would have to fulfill any reasonable request from her as the young master of the Mu family. Whether it was giving one million or ten million, it wouldn't be a problem!
[Because of your words, Chu Youmeng felt very shy, emotional fluctuation +10, congratulations, you have received the reward [Physique +1]!]
[Due to the promise between the two of you, Chu Youmeng's heartstrings were touched, and her heart was stirred, emotional fluctuation +11, congratulations, you have received the reward [Proficiency +2000]!]
...
This little girl (the perfect female lead tool) was completely under his control! The Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Jesus, Grey Wolf, Bear Big and Bear Two, Bald Qiang, Lazy Sheep, Little Grass God, and others... would be useless if they came! Mu An's lips curled slightly. Because of the crazy emotional rewards he had been harvesting during this time, his physique had seen an astonishing improvement, possessing the strength equivalent to that of five or six adults!
Ding ding ding~
"Report, young master, the person you asked us to keep an eye on just passed out at the stairway!"
"Before this, we had already bagged his head and beat him up seven or eight times; he shouldn't know our identity!"
"We have more recent updates; we found a sneaky boy hiding near this rental house."
"He seems to be waiting for something and is carrying a steel pipe! Do we need to take him out?"
"Not for now, continue monitoring! Inform me immediately if there are any new developments!"
"Received!"
After hearing the bodyguard's report, Mu An couldn't help but frown. That damned drunkard passed out in the hallway, which meant there was a high probability that Chu Youmeng would encounter him. The situation he wanted to avoid might still happen! Is this the damned fate power of the novel? Fortunately, he had come here today under the pretext of sending the girl back. With him around, there shouldn't be a big problem! This could even be an opportunity to further increase the girl's favorability towards him!
As for why he wanted to increase her favorability? It was definitely to better harvest emotional rewards in the future! And that sneaky guy, if nothing unexpected happened, should be Bai Zihao. After all, how could the protagonist miss such an opportunity to heroically save the beauty and capture her heart? But unfortunately, as long as Mu An was here today, Bai Zihao wouldn't have the chance to perform!
Mu An sneered.
Meanwhile, Bai Zihao, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but shiver again. He couldn't help but mutter, "It's strange, why do I suddenly feel cold? It's not even that cold yet!"
