I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 649 Talking

Chapter 649: Chapter 649 Talking

Shen Dong had intended to argue, but after hearing these words, he completely lost the ability to retort, because he indeed was somewhat biased. Seeing how that teacher treated her, he had indeed become a bit angry.

But this teacher was obviously very biased. Never mind, since she didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, he wouldn’t say too much either, to avoid putting too much pressure on her. In the end, he gently patted her shoulder.

He said, "It’s nothing, really. You just have a natural talent. Take your time, and I believe that one day you will be even better than them. You just need a bit of patience to reach that height. If you need help, I’ll provide it."

Shen Dong was also a very good person, handling such a situation with such rational analysis.

Lin Qi just smiled. What was this man talking about? How could she possibly feel incapable? Even if she wasn’t there yet, there was always time to improve gradually, and in any case, she had a chance. She was just a little unfamiliar, that’s all.

But she was eager to learn and picked things up very fast. Give her some time, and she was sure to surpass them. Then she would show Lin Yun who the real powerhouse was and let this teacher know that she wasn’t inadequate, just not yet well-practiced. Who could claim a permanent spot was far from decided.

Letting her look down on herself before was a price to pay. Thinking this way made her feel much better, and she decided to practice more once she got home that evening. It wasn’t like she couldn’t learn this at all, she believed.

Lin Qi didn’t voice her thoughts and remained very calm. After finishing her statement with a cool smile, she conveyed that she was fine and not to worry. Shen Dong didn’t say much more; since Lin Qi herself had said it wasn’t needed, they’d leave it at that.

"Alright, you go back first. As for that teacher, I felt she wasn’t up to it and have already dismissed her. We’ll see how the next teacher does. If it still doesn’t work out, we might need to make another change," Shen Dong said.

"You really replaced that teacher, huh? I thought you were just joking with me. I didn’t expect you actually did it. But I have one concern. Isn’t it too late to change now? We’ve already learned half of the moves. If a new teacher comes in, wouldn’t that make it difficult to teach properly?"

She expressed this worry and glanced at Shen Dong, feeling a little secret thrill inside, wondering if this man had replaced the teacher just for her sake.

It would be vain to assume so, yet she couldn’t help but feel there was a possibility, especially since that’s how Shen Dong first brought it up. Her heart felt warm at the thought of him taking her side the moment he saw her getting scolded. Where could you find such a man?

"Then make sure you find a more patient teacher. I’ll speak frankly. Now that the teacher has been replaced, I might as well not mince words—she really didn’t teach well at all. You have no idea. Every time I seriously practiced, she just kept undermining my enthusiasm, as if I was really that bad.

"But I’m not that bad, right? She just kept going on and on. I couldn’t stand it anymore, it’s better to make the change. Find me a good one, and I’ll be very grateful to you," she said.

After saying this, she smiled sweetly, as if dispelling all the gloom from the world. Shen Dong hadn’t expected this girl to have such a magnanimous heart, still able to smile so sweetly after what had happened. Well then, it seemed he had worried too much; how could such a girl be distressed? Shen Dong found it amusing too.

"Then I’m off to rehearsal. Oh, by the way, you didn’t come to me for anything serious, did you? We’ve only discussed the teacher, but you haven’t told me what exactly you needed. Just tell me straight," she said.

Only then did Shen Dong remember the real matter at hand. He was definitely not here just to mess around; he needed to distribute the clothes he had purchased the other day, which he hadn’t brought with him, and he stated,

"There is indeed something I need your help with. But considering your small frame, I’m not sure you can handle it," he said with a laugh. Lin Qi strongly disagreed, asserting there was no reason she couldn’t help him—it was clearly a joke.

So, she boldly said, "Let’s hear it then. What’s the matter? Maybe I can actually help you out?"

"It’s about carrying all those clothes. Are you sure you can lift such heavy clothing? Even I feel it’s a bit risky. But since you’ve offered your help voluntarily, you can’t say no now. Come with me, let’s get that stuff moved first, and we’ll talk about the rest later," he said with a smile.

After finishing his sentence, Shen Dong dragged Lin Qi towards his car. Seeing the heaps of clothes of various sizes inside indicated he truly considered her free labor.

Lin Qi gave Shen Dong a sidelong glance and said with a smile, "I can help, but there’s a price. I’ve done you so many favors, shouldn’t you at least treat me to something? It would be pretty underhanded not to, don’t you think? I trust you’re not a stingy person."

What else could Shen Dong do but agree to it, "Sure, help me with this and I’ll treat you to a barbecue tonight, okay?" No sooner had he finished speaking did he remember something amiss. He couldn’t go out with Lin Qi for barbecue. He had an invalid at home to look after, with a hurt foot and bedridden, probably unable to move for a while. If he didn’t return home or came back too late, there was no telling what kind of fit she’d throw. So, guiltily blushing, he hesitantly managed to say, "Let’s forget it, maybe some other time. I’ve been a bit busy lately and probably can’t take you out for a meal. But I’ll definitely not forget this owed dinner. Agreed? Besides, you’ll be working here for a while, you won’t miss out on a meal. I’ll make sure to take good care of you in the future. Come on, help me out now."

After Shen Dong spoke, he swiftly picked up several bags of clothes. Only one bag, very light indeed, was left for Lin Qi. Looking at that single bag, she still couldn’t help feeling sorry for herself, yet it also warmed and sweetened her heart.
