Chapter 22: 【Little Advanced Mathematics, Got it~】……

    Ye Tingtong went to the hospital to remove his cast. The doctor said his recovery was good and he would be completely recovered in about a week or two.

    Ye Tingtong thanked the doctor. On the way back to Taizi Bay, he sent a message to Shen Jun.

    【Ye Tingtong: Went to the hospital to remove the cast, the doctor said the recovery is good, and there won’t be any after-effects~]

    【Ye Tingtong: Also, thank you for helping Driver Li!】

    【Ye Tingtong: Little cat sends love.jpg】

    After sending the message, he stared at his phone for ten minutes, but didn’t receive a reply.

    Ye Tingtong sullenly stuffed his phone into his pocket.

    That night, Ye Tingtong stayed up until midnight, not falling asleep, listening intently to the movements in the living room, but he didn’t hear the sound of the door opening that he had imagined.

    Shen Jun didn’t come back.

    This was also within Ye Tingtong’s expectations. Shen Jun didn’t usually live here. However, he felt that since Shen Jun had helped Driver Li, he should express his gratitude.

    Shen Jun didn’t reply to his message, so he asked Liu Hao.

    【Ye Tingtong: Assistant Liu, is Shen Jun busy recently?】

    Liu Hao replied quickly.

    【Liu Hao: Very busy. Recently, the company is preparing to bid for a government project, working on the proposal overnight, non-stop. Especially President Shen, he works overtime until late every day.】

    【Liu Hao: What’s wrong? Is there anything you need or anything you need me to pass on?】

    Ye Tingtong thought for a while and decided to be bold.

    【Ye Tingtong: Can I go to the company to find Shen Jun? I can bring afternoon tea for everyone.】

    Liu Hao received this message and hesitated for a while before knocking on the door of the president’s office.

    Shen Jun: “Come in.”

    Liu Hao looked at the person in front of the desk and said, “President Shen, Ye Tingtong said he wants to come to the company to see you. Do you need me to find an excuse to turn him down?”

    Shen Jun looked up, his expression indifferent, “What do you think?”

    Liu Hao, who had been following Shen Jun for many years, immediately understood, “I understand, President Shen.”

    He quickly exited the office and replied to Ye Tingtong.

    【Liu Hao: I have already notified the front desk downstairs. You can come up at any time. By the way, you can take the president’s private elevator directly to the top floor.】

    【Liu Hao: If you leave now, you can have dinner with President Shen.】

    Ye Tingtong immediately packed his bag and prepared to go out after seeing the message.

    【Ye Tingtong: What do you guys want to drink? I’ll buy it for you. Coffee? How many servings are appropriate?】

    【Liu Hao: If possible, just bring it for the people in the president’s office, including President Shen, 7 cups, thank you very much!】

    【Ye Tingtong: ok】

    Ten minutes later, Ye Tingtong sent another message.

    【Ye Tingtong: Is Luckin okay?】

    Ye Tingtong was a little embarrassed when he asked this question. Although he was married to Shen Jun, he was still a poor college student.

    Fortunately, Liu Hao was aware of his situation and said, without the slightest bit of disdain, that of course it was okay.

    Soon, Ye Tingtong was standing at the entrance of the Shen Corporation building, holding the coffee, looking for the person Liu Hao said would be waiting for him at the door through the revolving door.

    At this moment, he saw a sweet-looking girl talking on the phone, looking very agitated.

    “Brother Liu, can’t you describe it in more detail?” Sun Meng walked back and forth a few steps, a little frustrated. “What is ‘good looking’ as a characteristic? For example, what clothes he was wearing today, what hairstyle? You have to give me something.”

    “Oh, you’ll recognize him at first glance. He has the kind of exquisite feeling that makes people’s eyes light up.”

    Sun Meng wanted to say something more, but the other party had already hung up the phone.

    Sun Meng was about to call back when she met the eyes of the person standing outside.

    Her eyes did light up.

    Although the other person’s attire was ordinary, his face was indeed eye-catching. People came and went at the entrance of the Shen Corporation building, but it did not prevent her from locking onto her target instantly.

    Before Ye Tingtong could speak, he saw that person rushing out, “Are you Mr. Ye? Brother Liu has already explained it. I’ll take you to see President Shen.”

    The news of Shen Jun’s marriage was not a secret. When Liu Hao said that the other party was coming, she was so nervous, afraid that something might go wrong.

    After all, Shen Jun was notoriously strict and unapproachable at the company. She didn’t want her career to end here.

    “My name is Sun Meng, you can call me Xiao Sun.”

    Sun Meng subconsciously wanted to take the coffee from Ye Tingtong, but he dodged her.

    “No need, I’ll take it myself.” Ye Tingtong put the cups of coffee behind him, his eyes darting away.

    Sun Meng realized that the other person was not a talkative person, and even more nervous than she was, so she immediately withdrew her hand and maintained a social distance, “Okay, I’ll take you to the elevator.”

    Ye Tingtong breathed a sigh of relief.

    Sun Meng handed the person over to Liu Hao and left. Ye Tingtong handed six cups of milk tea to Liu Hao, holding the only remaining paper bag, “I’ll personally give Shen Jun his cup.”

    Liu Hao did not doubt him. “President Shen’s office is just ahead, go on!”

    Ye Tingtong nodded and quickly left the president’s office. He was really nervous with five or six pairs of eyes staring at him, not to mention he had done something naughty.

    After knocking on the door, Ye Tingtong pushed the door open and went in. Shen Jun was on the phone and looked at him, signaling for him to sit on the sofa.

    Ye Tingtong put down his school bag and sat on the sofa, looking around.

    Shen Jun’s office was the same style as his residence—spacious and bright, cold and imposing. There was only a desk and a coffee table and sofa for meetings, with no extra decorations.

    Shen Jun looked at the person on the sofa craning his neck curiously, and quietly withdrew his gaze, “Yu Mo, are you idle? You even stoop to bribing the front desk?”

    Before Ye Tingtong arrived at Shen Corporation, Yu Mo sent him a message, accusing him of taking a break from work to have a rendezvous with his new wife, saying that he wanted to join in the fun.

    He ignored such nonsense, and the guy just called him to harass him directly.

    “This is called gathering useful information.” Yu Mo crossed his legs on his office chair, glanced at the time, “Wait, in fifteen minutes, I’ll rush to your office. Don’t let Little Tingtong run away. You just got married, so logically speaking, I should still give you some wedding money.”

    Ye Tingtong was a little distance away from Shen Jun and did not hear the conversation clearly, only knowing that it was Yu Mo. The other party had also mentioned his name.

    After the call ended, Ye Tingtong also walked forward and put the coffee he had bought on Shen Jun’s desk.

    “It’s cold, I bought hot lattes, and I even used an insulated bag.”

    There were several layers of knots tied on the packaging bag. Shen Jun took three minutes to untie the knots. When he saw the real appearance of the coffee inside, his expression was rarely stunned.

    In the Luckin bag with the deer head logo, there was a green Starbucks cup.

    Ye Tingtong stammered, “Well, I didn’t have enough money to buy all Starbucks…”

    So, he had asked the staff at Luckin for an extra bag and hid the special coffee for Shen Jun inside.

    This was also an important reason why he didn’t let Sun Meng take the coffee.

    Ye Tingtong’s skin was fair. When he was shy, the redness on his face and ears was very obvious. At this moment, he lowered his head, revealing a section of his fair nape. His fingers were twisting, a little at a loss.

    Shen Jun’s Adam’s apple bobbed, the obvious partiality made his heart thump heavily, “Thank you.”

    The several days of overtime made his voice a little hoarse, but it had a touch of gentleness.

    Hearing Shen Jun’s reply, Ye Tingtong raised his head with a whoosh, his eyes curved, “It’s good that you like it.”

    “Thank you for helping Driver Li find a job and letting him take care of me.” Ye Tingtong’s tone was sincere, “Shen Jun, thank you so much.”

    This was also the reason why he came to the company to find Shen Jun. He hoped that he could convey this gratitude in person.

    Shen Jun looked at his beautiful eyes full of happiness, and his expression unconsciously softened a bit, “It’s nothing, I was planning to find a driver for you anyway.”

    He didn’t have time to pick him up personally every day. At this time, it was convenient for him to have a reliable driver, so he did it.

    Ye Tingtong was about to say something when there was another knock on the office door. Someone asked Shen Jun to sign a document.

    He had no choice but to shut his mouth and go to the sofa to wait. But Shen Jun was really busy, constantly having documents to review and sign. Just now, Liu Hao had also said that there was a meeting to be held in ten minutes.

    Judging from this, Shen Jun did not have time to eat with him.

    Moreover, it was still very early from dinnertime. He was also confused. Liu Hao said to come early, so he came immediately and didn’t notice that it was only three o’clock in the afternoon. What dinner was he going to eat?

    When Shen Jun was finally free, Ye Tingtong was just about to say that he would leave first, but Shen Jun spoke first, “You should know Yu Mo. He said he would come to see you later.”

    Ye Tingtong asked suspiciously, “Why is he looking for me?”

    Yu Mo always liked to tease him. If it weren’t for the fact that he had a good relationship with Shen Jun, Ye Tingtong would not bother with him.

    Shen Jun paused for a moment, “He said, he’s here to give you wedding money.”

    The butt that Ye Tingtong had just lifted went back down with a whoosh.

    When Yu Mo arrived, Shen Jun had already gone to the meeting. After entering the door, Yu Mo sat down on Shen Jun’s chair very familiarly and looked at Ye Tingtong with a smile, “Little Tongzai, long time no see~”

    Ye Tingtong hummed as a response.

    “Tsk, why are you so cold to me?” Yu Mo picked up the pen on the desk and spun it around, “I’m several years older than you, you should call me big brother.”

    “Come on, call me big brother and let me hear it.”

    Ye Tingtong frowned, “I won’t.”

    Yu Mo heard his decisive answer, and the pen in his hand almost flew away, “No way, do you hate me that much?”

    He hadn’t done anything bad, had he?

    “It’s not hate.” Ye Tingtong explained, “I suspect you’re just taking advantage of Shen Jun in disguise.”

    If he called Yu Mo big brother, then in terms of seniority, Shen Jun would naturally be a level lower.

    “Wow, aren’t you a brainless beauty?” Yu Mo said in an exaggerated tone, “After spending so long with Shen Jun, you’ve become so smart.”

    Ye Tingtong glared at him and didn’t say anything.

    Yu Mo teased him a few more times. As soon as Shen Jun was mentioned, Ye Tingtong would either blush or get anxious.

    The office was lively for a while. Ye Tingtong’s nervousness in an unfamiliar environment completely dissipated.

    After playing enough, Yu Mo prepared to slip away, leaving Ye Tingtong, who was itching to punch him.

    However, when Ye Tingtong received a transfer notification of 5,000 yuan from the other party, the fist he had raised loosened with a swoosh. He even wished Yu Mo would babble a few more words with him shamelessly.

    When Shen Jun came back, he happened to see Yu Mo blowing a kiss at Ye Tingtong, and Ye Tingtong was even looking at him with reluctance.

    His eyes darkened. Yu Mo chuckled and ran away.

    Ye Tingtong was completely unaware of Shen Jun’s emotions. After the other party entered the door, he took the initiative to go over, picked up his phone, and said mysteriously, “Shen Jun, Yu Mo transferred 5,000 yuan to me. I’ll split half of it with you.”

    Of course, the wedding money had to be split with Shen Jun.

    Shen Jun looked at his small expression of secret joy and realized where the [reluctance] came from, “You don’t have to transfer it to me. He gave it to me in advance.”

    Ye Tingtong said “oh”, “Okay then.”

    Yu Mo was quite generous.

    He saw Shen Jun take the coat from the back of the chair and put it on, so he asked subconsciously, “Are you going out?”

    “It’s quitting time.” Shen Jun glanced at him, “It’s five o’clock, it’s Shen’s normal quitting time.”

    Seeing him walk out, Ye Tingtong immediately picked up his school bag and followed. After sitting in Shen Jun’s passenger seat, Ye Tingtong asked, as if he remembered something, “You’re not working overtime today?”

    “No overtime.” Shen Jun started the car, “The bidding proposal is almost done, there’s no need to stay in the company.”

    Ye Tingtong seemed to understand, “Then where are we going now?”

    “Have dinner.” Shen Jun turned his head to look at him, “Didn’t you come to eat with me?”

    After the meeting, Liu Hao reminded him, as if unintentionally, that Ye Tingtong had come so quickly because he heard that he could eat with him.

    Ye Tingtong pulled at his seat belt embarrassedly, “I just wanted to find an excuse to spend more time with you.”

    Just as they were about to leave the parking lot, Shen Jun suddenly stepped on the brakes.

    Ye Tingtong’s words were very ambiguous, but the other person was unaware. After he stepped on the brakes, his eyes widened as he looked at him, obviously startled.

    The barrier in front of them was raised high, and the security guard watched the president’s car stuck in the middle, unable to tell him to move or put the barrier down.

    It was the time when people were leaving work, and several cars were following behind, but no one dared to honk.

    Shen Jun took a deep look at Ye Tingtong, who had a confused expression. He sighed and restarted the car.

    These words, he was clearly just stating the literal meaning.

    Shen Jun took Ye Tingtong to the seafood restaurant they had missed last time. After feeding him well, the two of them went back to Taizi Bay together.

    After he finished washing up, he habitually went to the study for a while. Ye Tingtong came soon after, holding a stack of books, “Can I join you?”

    His Advanced Mathematics exam was coming up soon, and studying with Shen Jun was surprisingly efficient.

    The heater was on in the house, and the temperature was comfortable. Ye Tingtong came wearing pajamas underneath, and a down jacket on top.

    The pajamas were still crooked, with one button fastened wrong, revealing his collarbone faintly.

    Ye Tingtong noticed his gaze and thought Shen Jun was looking at his hair again, “I made sure my hair was dry before I came. You can touch it if you don’t believe me.”

    Then, he lowered his head towards Shen Jun.

    Shen Jun hesitated for a moment and reached out his hand.

    The texture was soft and fluffy, and the faint scent of shampoo was in the air. It was the same brand he used.

    Maybe it was because he was not touching it mindfully, but his fingertips accidentally brushed against Ye Tingtong’s ear, and the warm, unusual sensation made him quickly withdraw his hand.

    Ye Tingtong just felt a little itchy in his ear and rubbed it himself, still not forgetting to confirm with Shen Jun, “Right? My hair is dry.”

    His expression was as if he was saying, ‘I definitely didn’t lie to you.’

    Shen Jun hummed, “I’ll go get a glass of water.”

    When he came back, Shen Jun had already adjusted his expression and brought a glass of milk to Ye Tingtong.

    At this time, Ye Tingtong was struggling with a calculus problem. A few minutes had passed, and he had only written one word, “(jie/Solution)”.

    He was so angry that he gulped down the milk and then glared at the problem for a few seconds before lying weakly on the table, giving up the struggle.

    Shen Jun looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

    Ye Tingtong pressed his face against the problem, his expression listless, “I’m wondering, if I only write the word ‘solution’, will the teacher give me any points?”

    Shen Jun couldn’t help but chuckle, and tapped the problem he was pressing down on, “Let me take a look.”

    Shen Jun took only ten minutes to clear up his thoughts. He took a sip of water, “You have the basic knowledge. What you lack is practice. Do more problems, learn to apply what you learn, and you’ll be fine.”

    Not only that, but he also marked several important types of questions for Ye Tingtong and went through each of them with him. Then, he found him two sets of Advanced Mathematics past papers from A University.

    “Do one set first. To save time, you only need to write your problem-solving ideas for the long-answer questions.”

    Speaking of which, they immediately started working. Ye Tingtong quickly buried himself in the problems.

    An hour and a half later, the alarm rang. Shen Jun tapped the table with his knuckles, “Hand in your paper.”

    Ye Tingtong was still in the process of writing the last question. He pressed down on the paper tightly and begged, “Wait a little, just a little bit.”

    Half an hour later, Shen Jun finally received the test paper.

    He took a red pen and made notes on each question. Especially for some of the long-answer questions, if the ideas were not correct, he would not only mark the correct ideas again but would also explain the problem’s pitfalls to Ye Tingtong.

    In the past Advanced Mathematics classes, Ye Tingtong always fell asleep while listening, but these concepts, when explained by Shen Jun, were surprisingly charming.

    After digesting the content on this paper, Ye Tingtong began to do the second test paper.

    This time, his speed was significantly faster. He finished writing it in an hour and a half, “The questions they set are all so similar.”

    “Mm.” Shen Jun picked up the red pen and graded the paper, “After all, they’re all taught by the same group of teachers.”

    Ye Tingtong suddenly became interested, “Shen Jun, you also graduated from A University, will my current teacher be the one who taught you?”

    Shen Jun’s hand paused for a moment, “No, there’s a nine-year age gap between us.”

    It was too long ago.

    Ye Tingtong didn’t mind this at all. Instead, he asked, “Then, since you graduated so long ago, why do you remember these concepts so clearly?”

    Shen Jun: “I occasionally use them at work.”

    In the financial field, there would be some involvement, and the problems that stumped Ye Tingtong were not difficult.

    Ye Tingtong said oh. Seeing that the pen in Shen Jun’s hand didn’t stop, he went out and poured a glass of milk for Shen Jun, “Are you tired?”

    He had been playing all day, and only had full energy at night, but Shen Jun had worked all day, and he was still helping him with homework at night…

    “Not tired.” Shen Jun finished grading the last question, “For me, helping you with Advanced Mathematics is actually a way to relax my mind.”

    The bit of heartache that Ye Tingtong felt dissipated in a flash, and was even a little indignant.

    People who are smart are amazing.

    Shen Jun handed him the test paper, “There’s no big problem. Spend the rest of your time going through the practice books, and you can score over 80 points.”

    Ye Tingtong looked at the page full of red checkmarks and exclaimed, “I’m so amazing.”

    This was the first time he had felt a sense of achievement in his studies.

    Shen Jun listened to him praise himself, and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes, “Yes, you’re amazing.”

    However, after doing two test papers in a row, Ye Tingtong was dizzy. Shen Jun had started working on his computer again, so Ye Tingtong quietly picked up his phone to play. When he first picked it up, he glanced at the person opposite him. Shen Jun had no reaction.

    Ye Tingtong then started playing with peace of mind.

    He had added many people on WeChat, most of whom were like him in the past, living a life of extravagance, going to various wine parties and gatherings. Their moments were mostly about showing off. Ye Tingtong used to be interested in reading them, but now he could see them at a glance and felt that they were a bit boring.

    He hadn’t posted anything on his Moments in a long time.

    Ye Tingtong looked at the colorful moments and then glanced at the test papers underneath with all the red checkmarks, and felt a sense of pride that he was sober while everyone else was drunk. This made him have a long-lost desire to share.

    He secretly glanced at Shen Jun, and when he confirmed that the other person’s eyes were on the computer screen, he quickly took a photo of his test paper, then expertly edited the caption, raised the corners of his mouth, and clicked send.

    【Finished in half an hour, Little Advanced Mathematics, Got it~】

    After posting on his Moments, Ye Tingtong put down his phone with satisfaction and continued to do problems. A few minutes later, his phone rang with a special ding-dong sound.

    It was the notification sound he had set up for Shen Jun’s special attention.

    They were in the same room, why was Shen Jun still sending him messages?

    He clicked on his phone in confusion—

    Shen Jun liked your post on Moments.

    Note
