The Other World: The Happy Life of the Yellow-Haired Tutor

Page 101

The man next to him was older, around thirty years old, with neat short hair and a very conspicuous gold chain around his neck, exuding the arrogance of a nouveau riche.

"Sister Ru, thank you for your hard work. Did you pick up Luo Xin?" The man in the casual suit smiled as he saw Zhao Ru get out of the car. He was Sun Wei, Luo Xin's college classmate.

The nouveau riche standing next to him was his cousin, Sun Hong.

"Received it." Zhao Ru said casually, glancing at Sun Hong, her brows furrowing slightly, and then casually moved closer to Chen Bin. A captivating fragrance wafted towards them, and Chen Bin paused, looking thoughtfully at Zhao Ru beside him.

"Thank goodness I got it. I was just worried." Hearing Zhao Ru's words, Sun Wei's eyes lit up. He peeked into the car, his face lighting up with excitement as he watched Luo Xin get out. He instinctively took a step forward, then quickly stepped back, saying very cautiously, "Luo..."

"Luo Xin, long time no see."

"Well, congratulations on your marriage in advance," Luo Xin replied casually, nodding her chin.

Hearing her somewhat cold tone, a hint of disappointment flashed in Sun Wei's eyes. He forced a smile and said, "Then I'll take your kind words. Let's go to the hotel first. Your place..."

"Did two people come this time?"

After saying that, Sun Wei turned and glanced at Chen Bin.

Luo Xin had previously mentioned that Chen Bin was her younger brother, so Sun Wei smiled at him in a very friendly manner.

Chen Bin smiled in return, but a strange feeling crept into his heart. He sensed that Sun Wei's behavior in front of Luo Xin was quite abnormal. He was clearly about to get married, yet when he saw Luo Xin, he acted like a primary school boy seeing his crush. Just as Chen Bin was thinking this, he heard Luo Xin's mocking voice: "No, there's another shameless one here too." "Shameless?" Sun Wei was taken aback.

Then Gu Wanxin got out of the car, and her bright and noble beauty instantly amazed everyone present.

Chapter 214: Conquering Zhao Ru (in progress)

"Luo...Luo Xin, is this your friend?" Sun Wei asked with a straight face as he looked at Gu Wanxin in front of him.

"Of course not, she's just shameless, we'll make her sleep on the street in a minute," Luo Xin said irritably.

Hearing this, Sun Wei was even more shocked, somewhat confused about the relationship between Luo Xin and Gu Wanxin. Zhao Ru noticed his thoughts and said softly, "They are both Chen Bin's sisters."

"Sister? Family? Luo Xin, I've never heard of you having sisters?" Sun Wei asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Do I have to tell you everything?" Luo Xin asked impatiently as Sun Wei kept asking questions. Seeing this, Sun Wei had no choice but to lower his head and give an awkward smile.

Sun Hong, standing beside him, stepped forward, looked at the radiant Gu Wanxin, and adopted a forthright manner: "Since we're all friends, let's stay at this hotel together. I'm Sun Wei's older brother, Sun Hong. What's your name?"

"Me?" Gu Wanxin glanced at Sun Hong and said without any emotion, "I'm taking this call." After saying that, she held up her phone and walked behind Chen Bin.

Seeing that Gu Wanxin showed no respect whatsoever, Sun Hong's brow twitched, and his face immediately turned gloomy, but he couldn't lash out. He could only take a step back, walk to the side, and light a cigarette.

Seeing this, Chen Bin clicked his tongue, turned around and walked to Gu Wanxin's side, only to find that she was actually on the phone. Since she wasn't on speakerphone, Chen Bin couldn't hear the conversation clearly, only a heartbroken female voice. "Is it that serious? Okay, I'll go check on her right away."

Gu Wanxin whispered into her phone, then hung up and quickly walked to Chen Bin's side, saying with a look of affection, "I'm sorry, a junior sister of mine has had a family emergency, and I have to go see her now. I can't be with you today." "Junior sister? What happened to her family?" Chen Bin asked curiously.

“Her grandfather was recently diagnosed with cancer and is nearing the end,” Gu Wan explained, then seemed to suddenly remember something, looked up at Chen Bin, and hesitated, “You…”

"What about me?" Chen Bin asked, seeing Gu Wanxin suddenly stop talking halfway through her sentence.

"It's nothing. I'm going to the hospital now. I might be back a little late today. You go back to the hotel with Luo Xin first." Gu Wanxin sighed and hailed a taxi.

Chen Bin watched the taxi drive away, then slowly turned around, muttering to himself, "Junior sister? Is she a beauty too?" His words had barely left his lips when he heard an argument coming from ahead. Looking up, he saw Sun Hongzheng, his face flushed and his neck bulging. Not far from him, Zhao Ru looked furious, her eyes slightly red, tears seemingly about to spill over. Chen Bin couldn't bear to see women cry, so he quickly went to Zhao Ru's side: "Sister Ru? What happened? Who bullied you?"

"No...it's nothing." Hearing Chen Bin's concern, Zhao Ru wiped away her tears and said softly, "Xiao Bin, are you hungry? Let me treat you to dinner." "Dinner? Sure." Chen Bin looked up at the horizon, where a beautiful orange sunset came into view.

Before Chen Bin could even appreciate the magnificent sunset, Sun Hong said with dissatisfaction, "You're willing to eat now? What was wrong with you just now?"

"Alright, alright, big brother, stop talking. I'll go eat with you." Sun Wei interrupted Sun Hong, apologized to Luo Xin and Zhao Ru, and pulled his older brother away.

In the blink of an eye, only Chen Bin, Zhao Ru, and Luo Xin remained, making the place quite peaceful.

"The nuisances are all gone." Luo Xin yawned and looked at Zhao Ru with a smile: "Sister Ru, I'm going back to the hotel. You and Chen Bin can relax outside."

Eat, no need to rush back.

"Huh? You...you're not coming with us?" Zhao Ru asked, somewhat flustered, upon hearing Luo Xin's words. Chen Bin, on the other hand, looked puzzled, still not understanding why Luo Xin was being so nice to Zhao Ru.

"I'm a little sleepy, I want to go back to the hotel to sleep first, you guys go ahead and eat." Luo Xin smiled playfully at Chen Bin. Then she pointed at Zhao Ru, made a very wicked gesture by making a circle with her left hand and sliding her right finger inside the circle. Chen Bin's brow twitched at her lewd gesture, and he quickly grabbed Zhao Ru's arm, turned her around, and said:

"Sister Ru, since Luo Xin isn't going to eat, let's go together. We can bring her two steamed buns when we come back."

"Ah... well... okay then." Hearing Chen Bin's words, Zhao Ru nodded subconsciously, then her pretty face flushed slightly. After glancing at Chen Bin, she subtly pulled her arm out of his grasp.

Chen Bin didn't notice her little actions. After waving goodbye to Luo Xin, he accompanied Zhao Ru and slowly left, casually asking, "Sister Ru, where shall we go for dinner later?"

“I remember there’s a restaurant nearby that serves home-style dishes. The food is really good, but the place is a little run-down. If you don’t mind, we can eat there,” Zhao Ru said softly, her slender white fingers still wiping away tears.

“Of course I don’t mind.” Chen Bin paused after speaking, looking at Zhao Ru’s slightly reddened eyes, and tentatively asked, “What… happened just now?”

"It's nothing." Zhao Ru lowered her head and forced a smile. "It's just that Sun Hong wanted to have dinner with me, but I didn't agree." "So you two had a fight? Is that Sun Hong pursuing you?" Chen Bin stroked his chin and muttered.

After a moment's thought, he realized that Sun Hong was probably annoyed because Gu Wanxin had humiliated him, and he took his anger out on Zhao Ru, which seemed to be a case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

"Pretty much. Sun Hong is Sun Wei's cousin, and I'm Sun Wei's wife's cousin, so our relatives all want me to be with Sun Hong, to strengthen our family ties. I've always refused."

Zhao Ru said softly, tears streaming down her face again, her pretty face filled with sorrow. "Sister Ru, don't cry. Since you don't agree, how can anyone force you?" Chen Bin said with concern.

“Normally it’s not possible, but many things aren’t as simple as you think.” Zhao Ru gently rubbed the corner of her eye: “Sun Hong started his business with online shopping in his early years. He has some money and often goes out to find women and indulges in debauchery. I really dislike this kind of person, but my parents have a good impression of him and have been trying to persuade us. You… understand?”

"I think I understand." After listening to Zhao Ru's explanation, Chen Bin slowly said, "In other words, as long as the person you like is richer than Sun Hong, your parents will stop bothering you."

"It's not that simple, and I don't have anyone I like right now." Seeing Chen Bin speak so bluntly, Zhao Ru was slightly taken aback, and a blush rose on her pretty face.

Then he stopped and pointed to a restaurant by the roadside, saying, "This is it. Let's eat outside." "Okay." Chen Bin nodded casually and sat down with Zhao Ru at a relatively clean table.

As soon as she sat down, a plump tabby cat came up to Zhao Ru and rubbed its head against her ankle.

"Mimi, do you want to eat too?" Zhao Rujiao trembled and bent down to rub the tabby cat's round head. But for some reason, after stroking the cat a couple of times, her eyes welled up with tears, and her expression was somewhat painful.

Looking at her tear-streaked face, Chen Bin couldn't help but sigh: of all the women he had met, Zhao Ru was truly the one who cried the most easily. "Are you... are you alright?" Seeing the tears in Zhao Ru's eyes, the waitress who had just come over asked tentatively.

"It's nothing, I just got some sand in my eye." Zhao Ru rubbed her eyes, ordered a few home-style dishes, and then looked at Chen Bin: "Xiao Bin, order whatever you like to eat."

"Okay." Seeing that Zhao Ru was in a bad mood, Chen Bin didn't provoke her any further and casually ordered a few dishes.

Although it was evening, it wasn't yet the busiest time of day, so Chen Bin's dishes were served quickly. They tasted quite good and were plentiful.

However, Zhao Ru was still not in a good mood. She only ate a few bites before lowering her head to feed the cat. "Sister Ru, do you really like cats?" Chen Bin asked thoughtfully.

“I really liked it. I used to have a tabby cat.” Zhao Ru paused, her eyes lowered. “And now? Is it with you?” Chen Bin asked casually, quietly exchanging his money for two bottles of chilled soda. “No, it’s dead.” Zhao Ru said softly, her eyes filled with obvious sadness.

"Ah. Hugs. I didn't know." Chen Bin was taken aback, then understood why Zhao Ru had been petting the tabby cat. She probably felt a pang of nostalgia seeing the tabby cat.

"It's alright," Zhao Ru whispered, watching the well-fed tabby cat slowly run to a spot and lie down.

"Sister Ru, how did your cat die? Did it die of old age?" Chen Bin whispered, casually pushing the iced soda in front of Zhao Ru.

"No, there was a slight accident." Zhao Ru parted her red lips slightly, casually grabbing the ice-cold soda, and said, "Thank you." "It's just a bottle of cola, don't be shy, want to try some? When I was sad before, a sip of cola would make me happy."

Chen Bin opened an ice-cold soda and chuckled. Zhao Ru has a gentle personality and finds it difficult to refuse people.

Hearing Chen Bin's words, although she didn't want to drink cola, she still politely took a sip of the ice-cold soda. She then felt a cool sensation travel down her throat to her heart, sweeping away all her worries.

A surge of intense joy welled up inside Zhao Ru, leaving her frozen in place, staring incredulously at the ice-cold soda. "Doesn't it make you feel a lot better?" Chen Bin asked softly, glancing at Zhao Ru's slightly reddened eyes.

With the help of his Eye of Insight, he could see that Zhao Ru's status bar now only had four words: Very happy. "You're really much better, Xiao Bin, thank you." Zhao Ru looked up and smiled slightly at Chen Bin.

Due to her personality, her smile was somewhat aloof and not at all bright, but when the evening breeze blew her hair and the hem of her skirt, the smile became incredibly moving.

Just then, the streetlight behind Zhao Ru lit up with a bright yellow light, like a bright moon hanging above her head. In the backlight, Zhao Ru's features were somewhat indistinct, but the curve of her lips became even more pronounced. Chen Bin gazed at her exquisite face, feeling that she was like a fairy from the moon palace, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Noticing Chen Bin's somewhat dazed gaze, Zhao Ru quickly lowered her head. "Huh? Hug me." Chen Bin snapped out of his daze and subconsciously said, "I thought I saw a fairy just now."

Hearing Chen Bin's indirect praise, Zhao Ru's smile widened, and she stood up gracefully: "Fairies are detached from worldly affairs, why would they eat at a roadside stall?"

"This just proves how frugal the fairy is. She only eats two bites of food per meal, which is less than what a cat eats." Chen Bin looked at Zhao Ru and chuckled.

Zhao Ru understood that Chen Bin was teasing her for not eating enough, and her pretty face immediately flushed red. While paying the bill, she muttered, "Is it possible that the fairy is on a diet?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Ru turned and strolled away. She had already seen Chen Bin finish his meal and could go back now. "But I feel that Fairy has a great figure and doesn't need to lose weight at all," Chen Bin said with a smile as he followed Zhao Ru.

At the same time, he looked Zhao Ru up and down, noticing that her chest was full like a mountain peak, her hips were plump like a millstone, and her waist was incredibly slender, like a willow swaying in the breeze.

All things considered, her figure resembles a gourd, which is quite tempting.

Noticing Chen Bin's sweeping gaze, Zhao Ru's pretty face flushed even more, and she whispered, "You don't understand, women are always on a diet." Hearing this, Chen Bin laughed even more heartily: "Why don't you continue talking about the fairy?"

Because someone had been secretly teasing the fairy, she retorted. Zhao Ru gave Chen Bin a coquettish look, quickened her pace, and walked ahead.

As Chen Bin watched her graceful figure disappear into the distance, he felt a pang of regret that the topic of the "fairy" had come to an end.

But at the same time, he was also pleased to feel that the distance between him and Zhao Ru had obviously shortened a lot, and she spoke more casually. "Keep up the good work and strive to take over as soon as possible." Encouraging himself, Chen Bin quickly caught up with Zhao Ru.

Chapter 215 Springtime Revealed, New Beauty

Hearing hurried footsteps behind her, Zhao Ru turned around and glanced at Chen Bin. Her gaze lifted slightly, and she unconsciously slowed down. At the same time, she raised her ice-cold soda, took a small sip, and a pleasant feeling instantly welled up in her heart, filling her eyes with joy.

She didn't know why, but after taking a sip of this cola, her mood would inexplicably become happy. "Could it be because I'm with Chen Bin?" Zhao Ru looked at Chen Bin, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

Ever since her pet cat was killed a few days ago, she has been feeling down, and to make matters worse, her parents keep pressuring her to get married, which makes her very irritable.

Now, when she's with Chen Bin, she feels like she's been reborn. She no longer worries about marriage or trivial matters, and can calmly chat about things.

This sense of inner peace was what she had always sought but could not attain.

"Sister Ru, let's go." Seeing Zhao Ru standing there lost in thought, Chen Bin raised his hand and waved it in front of her.

"Huh? Okay." Zhao Ru snapped out of her daze, instinctively taking a step back and clutching her ice-cold soda: "Xiao Bin, where did you buy this cola? How come it's..."

The one I drank before was different?

"This is a secret recipe I developed myself; you can't buy it anywhere else," Chen Bin lied without batting an eye. He had used this same story to fool Zheng Yiyun and Luo Xin before, and now he was telling it to Zhao Ru without changing a single word.

"A secret recipe? No wonder it tastes different! You actually managed to develop such a secret recipe; you could open a Coke shop!" Zhao Ru's eyes lit up, her voice tinged with excitement.

"...This recipe is quite complicated and troublesome to make, and I'm still in school, so I don't have time." Looking at Zhao Ru's excited eyes, Chen Bin felt a sense of unease.

He had thought Zhao Ru was the quiet type, but he never expected her to be so excited about opening a shop.

"Oh, okay then. What school are you attending? University?" Zhao Ru turned around, wrapped her coat tighter, and slowly walked forward. "No, I just finished my second year of high school, and I won't be starting my third year until September." Chen Bin followed beside Zhao Ru.

Watching her slender waist sway gently, causing her ample hips to sway from side to side, created a unique and captivating charm.

"You're not even in your final year of high school yet? I can't believe you're so young." Zhao Ruyi looked Chen Bin up and down. When she first saw Chen Bin, she thought he was at least in his twenties.

"Maybe I look older than I am, unlike Sister Ru who looks so young. She must be just eighteen this year, right?" Chen Bin looked Zhao Rumena up and down and teased her with a smile.

"What eighteen? I'm already thirty-two, almost eighteen twice over." Zhao Ru waved her hand, her laughter like a clear spring, melodious and pleasant. Chen Bin looked at Zhao Ru's upturned lips, ready to press his advantage, but suddenly felt a cold evening breeze.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the temperature was a little low. With the chilly wind blowing, Zhao Ru couldn't help but shiver and tightened her denim shorts.

Her long, slender legs unconsciously pressed together, her bare, fair ankles rubbing against each other, trying to warm themselves. Seeing that Zhao Ru was finding the cold wind unbearable, Chen Bin wanted to use his Temperature Control Master skill to raise the surrounding temperature. However, the Temperature Control Master skill has its limits.

Zhao Ru, perhaps feeling too cold, unconsciously quickened her pace, wanting to get back to the hotel as quickly as possible, but she was just outside the temperature control range. "Sister Ru, slow down," Chen Bin called out casually as he quickened his pace.

Hearing Chen Bin's words, Zhao Ru realized she was walking too fast and might make Chen Bin feel neglected, so she suddenly stopped and turned around.

Chen Bin didn't expect Zhao Ru to suddenly stop, and he lost his footing, colliding head-on with her as she turned around. Moreover, because Zhao Ru had already lowered her head, she didn't have time to dodge when she realized Chen Bin was approaching.

She instinctively raised her head, and her smooth forehead bumped right into Chen Bin's mouth, causing her to gasp in surprise. At the same time, Zhao Ru's chest pressed against Chen Bin's chest, bringing a warm and fragrant sensation.

Chen Bin could even feel the two snow-capped mountains swaying elastically, creating surging white waves that dazzled his eyes.

Let him have a small room.

At that moment, Zhao Ru, being too delicate, was unexpectedly knocked backward by Chen Bin's sudden bump. Her feet were on the concrete floor; if she fell backward like that, hitting the back of her head would be no small matter. Realizing this, Chen Bin quickly reached out to grab Zhao Ru's arm.

But Zhao Ru fell backward, her arms instinctively reaching back, preparing to press against the concrete ground.

Unable to grab her arm immediately and with little time to react, Chen Bin instinctively grabbed the neckline of her dress.

Zhao Ru's backward leaning body stopped abruptly, her entire body hovering at an angle in the air, her face still showing shock. Chen Bin, on the other hand, stared at Zhao Ru's collar, his eyes widening involuntarily, his breath catching slightly.

Zhao Ru noticed Chen Bin's unusual behavior, turned her gaze away from the concrete floor behind her, grabbed Chen Bin's wrists with both hands, and subconsciously looked up. Then she realized that because she was leaning backward and Chen Bin was grabbing her collar, the collar was immediately torn and deformed.

More importantly, Chen Bin's grip was incredibly strong; that grab not only seized the collar but also the black fabric beneath Zhao Ru's clothes.

Now that Chen Bin had pulled back the black fabric, half of the snow-capped mountain was completely exposed to his view. He could even see a red plum blossom along the edge of the underwear.

"Let go!" Zhao Ru's pretty face flushed red as she slapped Chen Bin's wrists with both hands, trying to push his clutches away. But if she hadn't moved, it would have been fine; the moment she moved, her round, snow-white chest trembled, dazzling all who beheld it.

"Sister Ru, don't move around too much. Let me help you up, otherwise you'll fall again." Seeing that Zhao Ru was almost crying, Chen Bin came to his senses and spoke softly.

Then he reached out his other hand, trying to grab Zhao Ru's slender, fair wrist.

But Zhao Ru was so distraught that she couldn't hear Chen Bin's words at all. She only saw him grabbing her arm again and thought he was going to take advantage of her again. She felt increasingly flustered and ashamed.

She struggled even harder, and tears welled up in her dark eyes, making Chen Bin wonder where she got so many tears.
