No matter how dissatisfied she was with her teacher, pomegranate didn't dare to utter a word. She could only grumble in her heart and hope that the future wouldn't be so difficult for her. She could work hard and spend the least amount of time to reach Qin Zhiyuan's requirements.
However, the gap between reality and dreams completely shattered the pomegranate. By the time she and Qin Zhiyuan reached the foot of the mountain, it was already close to midnight.
Qin Zhiyuan looked at the exhausted pomegranate and said with a smile, "Go back and have a good rest!"
pomegranate looked up at him. She couldn't even manage a smile, and she found it hard to speak, but her eyes were fixed on him and she nodded. Resting well, it would only take four hours before the sky would brighten!
Qin Zhiyuan turned around and walked two steps before stopping. He looked at her, "You can get up late in the morning, but not later than nine. I'll be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain at nine!"
"What? You still want to climb?" The clouds that had finally dispersed climbed up to the top of the pomegranate's eyebrows. She looked at Qin Zhiyuan uncertainly and said, "Teacher, can we use another method to do some physical training? Climbing a mountain is really killing!"
Qin Zhiyuan looked at her thoughtfully, "Fine, we won't be climbing anymore. Let's go to the gym in a more comfortable environment, but we still have to reach that amount!"
"Alright."
When she went down the mountain, she almost fell down the stairs several times. Every time, it was Qin Zhiyuan who would reach out to hold her back. It was hard for her to imagine what would happen without Qin Zhiyuan.
"Then, teacher, I'll see you tomorrow!"
"See you tomorrow."
That night, the pomegranate slept soundly. It was like lying in a paradise on earth, she loved sleeping too much, only she didn't have to do anything for a few hours. Unfortunately, the night had always gone too fast, and yet another day's dawn had welcomed her.
Pomegranate woke up at 8: 30 PM. It hurriedly got up from the bed and ran to the bathroom to wash up. Seeing her flustered, Jiang Yan was puzzled and said, "pomegranate, you came back so late last night. Go back and sleep for a while!"
She looked at her mother and knew that she meant well. However, she really couldn't bear her mother's kind intentions. She brushed her teeth and said, "No need, I still have things to do this morning!"
Jiang Yan was extremely dissatisfied with this, "You little girl, didn't you say you wanted to take a vacation? Why are you running to the hospital on vacation? If you have the time, why don't you stay at home and chat with me! "
"Mom," pomegranate looked at Jiang Yan, not knowing when she became so dependent on her, "This time she really isn't going to the hospital, she's going to the gym!"
Jiang Yan suddenly became interested when she heard pomegranate say that. She sized her up, "What exactly happened? Who asked you to come over? Is it Little White? "
"What!" However, when she thought about it, she felt that something wasn't right. Bai Zixuan hadn't even seen her mother before, so how could he blame this on her, then it must be her big aunt.
"Bai Zixuan wants to go to work, how could he suddenly come to Jia Lin County!" Besides, why would he ask me to the gym? Normally, he would only arrange for food.
Just as he was thinking this, Jiang Yan suddenly said, "Isn't this the weekend? I thought Lil 'White came over! "
The pomegranate was speechless at Jiang Yan. It quickly rinsed off the foam in its mouth, wiped its face, and prepared to leave. Jiang Yan, who was already far away, stopped the pomegranate in the dining room. "Who is that?"
"You don't know him!" pomegranate didn't want to continue talking, so he took off his bag from the coatrack. "Mom, I won't tell you anymore, I have to go."
"You haven't eaten breakfast yet!" Jiang Yan turned around and looked at the breakfast on the table. She quickly ran over and took two steamed buns and stuffed them into the pomegranate's hands. "Be obedient. No matter how busy you are, you can't lose your body. Eat on the way!"
Pomegranate looked at him, a sudden warmth in his heart, looking at Jiang Yan smiled and nodded his head. As expected, mother was the best in this world.
She didn't dare to tell her mother that she went to the gym because of Qin Zhiyuan's request. She was worried that her mother would ask too many questions. What's wrong with going to the health room...
Jiang Yan was so hardworking, that pomegranate did not even need to think to know that once she said it, mother would definitely ask about it!
After getting off the bus, she sprinted all the way. She stood in front of Qin Zhiyuan, gasping for breath, and apologized profusely, "Sorry, sorry, I was late!"
Qin Zhiyuan glanced at her and realized that her collar was turned upside down. He reached out his hand to help her straighten it out, looked at her and said, "Don't be so careless next time. Time is important, and your image is also important!"
At this moment, his gentleness caused the pomegranate to be at a loss of what to do. His unintentional display of concern always made the pomegranate want to approach him. Let him straighten his collar until he was done: "Let's go!"
The two of them walked in together.
Training at the gym was much easier than climbing a mountain. However, Qin Zhiyuan told her at the end of the day, "pomegranate, your physical activity today has exceeded yesterday's!"
These words surprised the pomegranate so much that it couldn't close its mouth. "No way! "Why do I feel a bit more relaxed than yesterday?"
Just as she was puzzled, Qin Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Because you've already passed the test in your heart!"
pomegranate seemed to understand his words. Seeing him turn around and walk towards the door, pomegranate hurriedly followed, "Are we leaving now?"
"Don't tell me you want to train?" Seeing the look in Qin Zhiyuan's eyes, pomegranate didn't know what to say. He indifferently said, "Haste makes waste. Everything has to be done slowly. Only after a long period of accumulation and settling can it happen!"
pomegranate nodded her head. Actually, she didn't intend to continue just now. She just felt that it was strange that Qin Zhiyuan would let her go so early today.
"Go back and take a shower. We'll have dinner together tonight!" Qin Zhiyuan's words made pomegranate's eyes widen. He turned to look at her and ruffled her hair. He smiled and said, "You don't think I will ask you to do this, do you? Tonight is the night I will return the favor!"
He spoke so frankly, but when he heard her words, he felt like his cheeks were burning. Soon, the blush reached his ears. This was the first time Qin Zhiyuan had formally invited her.
After bidding Qin Zhiyuan farewell, the pomegranate laughed like a child. The teacher treated her to a meal, and the teacher actually invited her to a meal. This was such a rare event!
Everyone felt good about this happy occasion. The pomegranate that was previously very tired immediately regained its motivation. It worked much faster than usual, arriving half an hour earlier than the time they had agreed to meet.
Before leaving, pomegranate had deliberately chosen a dress that fit her perfectly. Before, she would never wear one of those no matter what. Other than being occasionally forced by Jiang Yan, she had never worn one before.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. Could it be that she was willing to change because of just a single sentence from Qin Zhiyuan? This confused the pomegranate.
Qin Zhiyuan had ordered a romantic western restaurant. He had never seen pomegranate before. He sat on a chair and looked at it from time to time. Qin Zhiyuan asked, "Do you like it?"
She nodded and smiled. "Very well."
At that moment, the waiter walked over and placed the wine on the table. The pomegranate glanced at the wine and thought back to how she had looked when she was still drunk. It was truly embarrassing for her.
"Do you want a drink?" The pomegranate looked at him with concern.
"You don't want to drink it?"
"No, I'm afraid I'm drunk again!" She looked at Qin Zhiyuan and thought about what the nurse had told her last time.
"Don't worry, I won't let you get drunk!"
He was always saying this. He didn't know where he got so much self-confidence from, but every time, the pomegranate would be suppressed by his strong aura. It lowered its head and said, "Alright then!"
This meal made the pomegranate feel inexplicably strange and wondrous. When the two of them came out of the western restaurant, the pomegranate suddenly felt a little thirsty and kept looking in the direction of the cold drinks store.
Qin Zhiyuan followed her gaze and saw a lot of ice cream in the distance. He thought she wanted to eat it, so he didn't care about her opinion and pulled her over.
"Teacher, where are we going?"
Tonight, Qin Zhiyuan was too gentle, making pomegranate feel uneasy. When he held her hand, she could feel the heat coming from his body. It was something she longed for, but didn't dare to come close to.
"Go eat some ice cream!"
Just as Qin Zhiyuan and pomegranate sat down, a sweet-looking woman walked over. She was holding the cold drinks that Qin Zhiyuan had ordered. As pomegranate looked at the colorful objects, its heart instantly became cold and gloomy.
"Hurry up and eat!" Qin Zhiyuan urged. He pushed the fruit salad in front of him towards pomegranate. pomegranate glanced at him: "Teacher, why aren't you eating?"
Qin Zhiyuan glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "I don't like to eat these!"
At this moment, pomegranate's heart skipped a beat. She didn't like to eat and bring her here for what?
"I just want to watch you eat!" Qin Zhiyuan had answered the question that was about to come out of his mouth. The pomegranate just wanted to find a hole in the ground and hide in it forever.
However, the reality was that she couldn't find the burrow, and even if she could, she wouldn't be able to crawl into it. She only smiled awkwardly, "Then I'll eat it. You should at least eat a little!"
Why does it feel like I'm an idiot!
The pomegranate was trying its best to eat, hoping to end this inexplicable meal as soon as possible. This kind of atmosphere was too strange! Just as she was about to finish her fight, the waiter from before arrived again and placed a set of cups on the table with a smile.
Qin Zhiyuan tilted his head to the side and said, "We didn't want this!"
The waiter explained, "This was specially delivered by our restaurant. Today is the Seventh Day Festival, and all the customers that come to our restaurant have this pair."
pomegranate heard the surprise and said: "You misunderstand, we are not a couple!"
The waiter looked at the two of them, "When I saw you flirting at the front desk, I thought it was …"
The words "flirting and scolding" deeply cut the heart of the pomegranate. Was her performance really that terrible? Just as she was thinking about how she was going to explain things to the waiter, Qin Zhiyuan, who was sitting on the other side, spoke up, "Leave the cup here, thank you!"
The waiter turned around and left with a smile. pomegranate looked at him and lowered its body. "Teacher, you will make others misunderstand us by doing this!"
Qin Zhiyuan was playing with the cup when he suddenly heard pomegranate's words. He replied, "Anyway, I've already misunderstood. It's useless not to take this cup. I need to change the cup. I think this is not bad. You keep this too!"
Pomegranate followed the cup with the fish on it. It looked up at Qin Zhiyuan and became more and more confused.
