He ignored Zheng Xiujing's somewhat taken for granted request.

Although I feel a little bit about the mystery of fate, having promised others is a promise. For him, promises in the world are the most unbetrayable thing.

Of course, he wouldn't be angry because Zheng Xiujing was about to follow the path of the other two girls and became a so-called trainee. This has nothing to do with him, nor should it have anything to do with him.

“oppa!”

A tender little hand suddenly slapped him in front of him with a seemingly arrogant aura. Looking up, Zheng Xiujing's round-shaped apricot eyes were reflected in her sight.

"Oppa...what is worse than this? As long as you tell your mother that you don't want to be my tutor, I will agree to you move into my house. How about it? Hum?"

He heard this and blinked at the girl's expression of depression with a faint look of expectation, and couldn't help but smile, "Ah, your principle... is really sticking to it enough? In just a moment, you changed your mind? Didn't you say with certainty just now that you wouldn't let me in?"

"Oh, that's because..."

Zheng Xiujing was speechless for a while, then she slapped her mouth and muttered: "It's not because you don't want to let go..."

"Are you really honest enough?"

The expression of laughter and crying on his face couldn't help but become a little thicker. After shaking his head, he curled the smile on the corner of his mouth and gave a light answer that disappointed Jung Soo-jing: "No."

Zheng Xiujing frowned and looked at his calm side face. The little brows were slightly frowning and looked different, "I clearly gave Oppa what you want, why don't you want?"

"Ha...ah, girl, the deal is not what you did."

He lowered his head and laughed, and then he held back the corner of his mouth that raised slightly, turned to meet her puzzled gaze, raised his eyebrows and said, "First, transactions are two-sided things, not something you can accomplish alone, I didn't agree to trade with you. Why do you ask me to pay what you want? Second... Who would tell you that I must want to live in your house?"

He said this, in order to cut off the unrealistic thoughts in the girl's mind, so that she could calm down and learn something from him, so that at least he could make a good deal when Zheng's mother comes back in the evening.

However, what was unexpected was that after hearing his slightly joking words, Zheng Xiujing suddenly frowned again.

She stared at him and asked for no reason: "Oppa Why don't you want to live in my house?"

Under normal circumstances, most people may ask back when encountering this situation, "Don't you want to live in my house?", but what Zheng Xiujing asked was, "Why".

The difference between just one or two words makes the meaning completely different.

For some reason, he looked at Zheng Xiujing's expression when she spoke, and a strange feeling in his heart inexplicably.

From the way she looked at him, he interpreted the doubt. This was a normal thing, but more often, he felt that he seemed to have seen something else.

That feeling...is very similar to what Zheng's mother felt when she looked at her before.

It seems that they are looking forward to something deeply for themselves.

What is this? He clearly showed such obvious hostility towards me at the beginning, but in the end, just like my mother, did he agree with me when I came to my home?

He felt a little confused for a moment.

So, after hearing Zheng Xiujing's sudden question, he was stunned for a moment and fell silent.

Fortunately, after saying this, Zheng Xiujing seemed to realize her mistake quickly. She pursed her bright red lips without any notice, then lowered her face, and whispered again: "Then oppa, how can you... agree to my request?"

This time, she finally seemed to have learned cleverness, abandoning her fluent and handy English, and switching to Korean, which is stumble and not very standard pronunciation.

To be honest, after seeing this girl's appearance becoming weak, his heart couldn't help but soften.

Not only because of her, but also because of her appearance, he reminded him of many memories of some people in his mind.

After careful consideration, he sorted out his expression, faded away the teasing and smiles in his previous tone, looked at her, and asked softly, "After all, why are you so unwilling to be your tutor? Do you don't like me?"

His face suddenly turned red. Zheng Xiujing glared at him for no reason before realizing that there was something wrong with his words. Then he curled his lips and said intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't want to oppa you as my tutor, I don't want to have a tutor!"

"Why? Are you really so confident that you can learn by yourself?"

"No!" Zheng Xiujing pouted her lips and then muttered in a low voice: "Of course I am not so blind and confident, but don't you feel annoying that there is a stranger who suddenly wants to get along with me all day long? Also... Although learning is important, I would rather choose freedom than being able to move freely! If I have a tutor, I will be taken care of every day..."

"Um?"

The girl's last words that were like revealing her heart made him raise his eyebrows. In addition to finally coming to his senses, he also vaguely understood something.

"So, you've been absent-minded just now. Did you... have any schedules you have arranged today?"

Faced with his unusual question, Zheng Xiujing showed a little hesitant reaction.

She lowered her head and pursed her lips, feeling as if she was making a difficult decision.

Fortunately, with the back and forth conversations between the two of them in front, her already impetuous mood was enough to say something she shouldn't have said.

"I made an appointment with someone today."

For a moment, he could feel his expression becoming quite strange.

"I have to defeat them!"

Since the hole was opened, Zheng Xiujing simply took it aside and had a small face tense. In his strange eyes, he added a quick tone.

them?

Just this sentence really made him get a lot of information again.

For example, the "fighting" in Zheng Xiujing's mouth proves that this is obviously not a simple friction or contradiction. For example, although this girl is embarrassed, she still feels the little bit of gritting teeth in her tone while she speaks.

He frowned and roughly analyzed the situation in just two or three seconds. He reacted beyond the calm that Jung Soo-jin expected, and asked, "Do you have to go?"

"Must!" The girl was stunned for a moment, surprised by his overly indifferent attitude, and then nodded heavily and replied.

"You can't discuss it carefully? Since you can make an appointment with you, the other party should not be old. Speaking of your age, what are the problems that you can't explain clearly in words?"

Zheng Xiujing's delicate eyebrows frowned again. I don't know if she was dissatisfied with his underestimation towards him or if she disagreed with the gentleness of his plan to calm things down.

"There is no way to discuss! Those guys can't make sense!"

She just answered this sentence firmly, and then he understood something very wisely and lowered his head thoughtfully.

"So……"

After a while, he raised his head and looked at a beautiful little face that had already puffed his mouth in advance and was ready to receive an annoying lesson. After a pause, he said something shocking:

"Let's go together."

Seeing Zheng Xiujing suddenly staring at her eyes in amazement, her mouth was slightly wide open, and he shrugged with a plain face and said, "Since things have to be solved, I prefer to solve them as soon as possible... Let me go with you. I know that you don't want Aunt Zheng to know about this matter, and I don't think I can change your mind, so I have to go with you, and I can't let you run out alone."

After hearing his words that were also extremely honest, Zheng Xiujing suddenly couldn't help biting her lower lip, lowered her gaze, and muttered, "This is my own business..."

"It's your own business."

He slowly stood up, and at this time, his slender and strong figure blocked the sunshine, like a tall city wall protecting her.

"But, protecting you is my business. I said it was impossible to let you go alone. Either you stay at home honestly or let me go with you. I don't feel at ease with you."

“…”

The little head seemed to be buried a little further, and he couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. It was not until a long time later that a low and gentle response sounded in the quiet environment.
