Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Blushed
Li Weichuan couldn’t help but wonder when he would see Su Zhaozhao again.
He held the gift Su Zhaozhao had given him, clutching it tightly.
After a moment, he stuck his head out of the car window and asked Su Zhaozhao softly, "Sister Zhaozhao, when I come back, will you keep helping me with my treatment?"
"I think you’re already starting to get better. Why don’t you try to adjust for a while longer? If you can, you won’t need treatment anymore."
Su Zhaozhao knew that Li Weichuan was very resistant to the so-called "treatments" from psychologists, while she was simply addressing his specific symptoms.
Hearing this, Li Weichuan’s eyelids drooped. At that moment, he looked as pitiful as an abandoned puppy.
Su Zhaozhao noticed his foul mood and was a little puzzled.
’Isn’t Li Weichuan usually resistant to treatment? He drove away so many psychologists before, and he was very unhappy when I first sought him out. Now that I want to end the treatment, he’s still not happy.’
"Sister Zhaozhao, I don’t think I’m better yet. So next time, please continue my treatment... After all, it’s my senior year, and I’m very nervous," Li Weichuan managed to force out after a long pause.
Listening to Li Weichuan, Su Zhaozhao reached out and ruffled his hair.
In truth, she had wanted to do that for a long time. She often felt that Li Weichuan was like a puppy.
When she first met him, he tried to act tough, but it came off as cute. As they got to know each other, he became very well-behaved.
When Su Zhaozhao ruffled his hair, Li Weichuan froze.
His eyes widened as he stared at her, and the tips of his ears couldn’t help but turn red.
He subconsciously ducked his head and said to Su Zhaozhao, "I’m leaving."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
The person driving Li Weichuan was his family’s guard.
Su Zhaozhao watched their car drive away, thinking, ’This kid seems to be quite thin-skinned.’
In her real life, she was six or seven years older than him, so she had unconsciously started to see Li Weichuan as a younger brother.
A few days after Li Weichuan left for school, it was Li Tiantian’s turn to go.
Li Tiantian was also sad to leave Su Zhaozhao, who had prepared a gift for her as well.
It was a model rocket.
She remembered visiting Li Tiantian’s room and seeing that its style was different from that of a typical girl.
Therefore, flashy things like jewelry or hair ties wouldn’t be suitable for Li Tiantian.
Su Zhaozhao had spent a long time searching in her spatial storage before finding this rather nice model.
When Li Tiantian saw the rocket, her eyes widened. "So cool! Oh my gosh, this is just like the rocket I imagined! Look at this detail, this craftsmanship! Zhaozhao, where did you buy it? I’ve never seen one so amazing."
Su Zhaozhao couldn’t help but smile. "I didn’t buy it. It was hard to come by—it’s from a private source. It’s their vision of a futuristic rocket, so make sure you treasure it."
Li Tiantian immediately cradled the rocket, completely satisfied. "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely put it on my desk and look at it every day."
Li Tiantian fiddled with the model, her eyes crinkling into smiling crescents, so much so that she could barely keep them open.
Seeing how much she loved it, Su Zhaozhao felt relieved.
’When giving gifts, you really have to give something the other person likes. That’s the only way to truly touch their heart.’
Li Tiantian seemed to think of something and suddenly leaned close to Su Zhaozhao’s ear to whisper, "By the way, Zhaozhao, have you used the things I gave you last time?"
Su Zhaozhao froze.
She remembered those embarrassing items. Of course, she had hidden them away where Xie Huaizheng would never see them.
"No, I hid them," Su Zhaozhao said.
Li Tiantian gave Su Zhaozhao a look of someone disappointed in a hopeless case. "Zhaozhao, you... How could you hide away such great stuff? I think you should put it to use! To be honest, I’m really looking forward to seeing Brother Huai Zheng getting whipped by you."
Su Zhaozhao: "..."
Some strange images uncontrollably surfaced in her mind. Su Zhaozhao quickly forced herself to stop imagining.
Now that they had both left for school, Su Zhaozhao also had to start preparing for her own job as a teacher. Every day, she would read and review the school’s textbooks in advance.
English teachers were rare, so it wasn’t possible for students to start learning from the first grade. At the military district’s elementary school, only the older children received English education.
The school administration discussed the matter. Since Su Zhaozhao was the only English teacher and each grade had three classes, they were worried she would be overworked. So, they decided to have her temporarily teach English only to the fifth and sixth graders.
Each class was tentatively scheduled for two English lessons per week, giving Su Zhaozhao a total of twelve lessons a week.
This workload was just right for Su Zhaozhao.
She also incorporated modern methods for teaching introductory English. On the first day of class, she started with the 26 letters of the alphabet, and the students’ feedback was very positive.
After her classes for the day were over, Su Zhaozhao didn’t need to stay at school and could go straight home. She was very happy with this free lifestyle and steady salary.
In her remaining free time, Su Zhaozhao started thinking about selling the goods from her spatial storage again.
Besides the growing number of girls who came to her through Yu Huijun to buy hair ties, Su Zhaozhao also needed to find a way to sell the fruits and vegetables from her space.
However, the city was too far away. Plus, after the danger she had encountered before, Xie Huaizheng was reluctant to let her go to the city by herself.
Her previous plan to sell things had failed, but she could still do some business in the surrounding area.
Su Zhaozhao had many good skincare products in her space, which she decanted into smaller containers. She also did the same with some designer perfumes.
She first gave some to her neighbors, as well as Zhao Shuqin and Zhou Xiaoyun, telling them she had made the products herself recently. If they liked them, they could also buy some from her.
They all accepted happily. After all, what woman doesn’t want to be beautiful? If the products worked well and were cheaper than vanishing cream, how could they possibly not like them?
Su Zhaozhao planned to expand her sales channels this way, giving out samples while gradually selling her products.
She didn’t want to make Xie Huaizheng suspicious, so she even kept some of her supplies displayed in the guest room.
Sometimes, Xie Huaizheng would come home and see Su Zhaozhao fiddling with those things. He was a little surprised. "What is all this?"
"It’s stuff I made myself. I’m decanting it to sell and earn a little extra money."
Xie Huaizheng smelled the fragrance wafting through the air. It was jasmine, a bit similar to Su Zhaozhao’s own scent. He took a deep breath, then frowned at her. "It smells nice, but can you not use this scent?"
He felt that this scent was exclusive to Su Zhaozhao. If other people used it and also smelled this way, he would be unhappy.
"Why?" Su Zhaozhao asked, looking puzzled.
"This is your scent."
Xie Huaizheng pulled Su Zhaozhao into a tight embrace, almost as if he wanted to merge her into his body. Su Zhaozhao was petite and soft, and in his opinion, very nice to touch.
Su Zhaozhao couldn’t help but laugh. "Xie Huaizheng, isn’t your possessiveness a little too strong?"
