"Fine, let's just settle this here. After all, your 'Brother Chen' has been tutoring you for three years, so he is technically your teacher," Tianxin's father said dismissively, signaling that the matter was settled, before heading back to his study.
Tianxin was at her wit's end. So, was this supposed to be the legendary teacher appreciation dinner...?
She stood on the balcony, watching as her father disappeared behind the door of his study. Only then did she redial Chen Yiran's number.
The phone only rang twice before he picked up.
"Hello, Tianxin." Chen Yiran's voice sounded very cheerful, even containing a hint of rare tenderness.
"Brother Yiran, I got into N University!!" Tianxin cheerfully announced to him.
"I know." Chen Yiran laughed on the other end of the phone. "Didn't you send me a message earlier? And your dad just repeated it to me. Are you happy?"
