"Let's get this lesson started. My school year is about to begin."
Zhao Rui ignored her and pulled his old notebooks out of his backpack, preparing to start the lesson.
"Huh? You got your acceptance letter? When does school start?"
"I did. It starts on September first, so less than two weeks from now."
"Oh!"
Hearing this, the young girl pouted, her rosy lips pushing out and revealing two faint dimples at the corners of her fair mouth.
"What's wrong? Can't bear to see me go?"
Zhao Rui smiled faintly.
"Brother Rui, you're so thick-skinned! I was just thinking that when you start school, I have to start school too! Hmph!"
Tian Yaru shot Zhao Rui a sideways glance and grumbled, clearly displeased with his wishful thinking.
"Haha! Alright, let's get back to the lesson."
Zhao Rui guided her to the seat at the desk and began the lesson in a serious, methodical manner.
An hour passed without them noticing.
