Chapter 146: 145. Received a critical hit of 10,000 points.

Master Xie only wanted to chuckle, back then Old Qin had said the same thing, and his ears had almost developed calluses from listening.

"I heard you still haven’t taken her on? Tsk, why are you so useless!"

This was the only secret Master Xie had that he could use to mock his old friend.

However, this time it seemed destined to disappoint him, as Master Yu didn’t show much sadness, in fact, he even laughed heartily twice.

"Your news is outdated."

Master Xie suddenly gasped, "What, is she your student now?"

That wouldn’t do, if in the future he found out Xiao Tang was actually the giver instead of the receiver, wouldn’t the one getting the good deal be none other than Master Yu!

"Not exactly."

"Then what are you so happy about?"

Master Xie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, my wife took her on, and she’s already drunk the tea of apprenticeship, so I guess I’m half a master to her now."

"..."

Since when did you start huffing and puffing so much when you talk?

Master Xie felt like he had been hit by a ten thousand point critical strike.

Tang Shu walked out of the school gate holding her textbooks and saw Jing Yu leaning against a business car.

Different from before, the man was wearing a fine, black handmade suit covered with a coat of the same color scheme, forming a stark contrast with the white shirt and blue tie inside.

At the moment, Jing Yu’s long legs were casually crossed, casting a long shadow under the sunlight.

It seemed Jing Yu noticed Tang Shu’s gaze, lifted his head to look over in this direction, and met her eyes accurately, but those profound and stable eyes and the inherent sternness between his brows made Tang Shu feel momentarily distant.

It was as if she was seeing a general who had been through many battles.

Unstoppable wherever he went.

Tang Shu paused for a moment, hastening to shake off the random thoughts that had popped into her head.

A general? Impossible, this is a time of peace.

The biting cold of the December wind swept in, bringing bursts of bone-chilling iciness, and even she, protected by Inner Strength, couldn’t help but tighten the leaky collar of her coat.

Jing Yu was already walking over to this side, his gaze lingered on her for a moment, and he frowned slightly.

"Is it very cold? Why didn’t you wear more?"

"It’s fine, the classrooms are heated and very warm."

No sooner had Tang Shu spoken than the person opposite took off his black coat, gave it a light toss, and it landed on her.

"I’m fine too, you aren’t wearing much either, are you?"

Ever since the weather had turned colder recently, Lin Yunlan had been messaging her all day to dress warmly, and she herself was wearing a turtleneck sweater with a fluffy thermal lining underneath, whereas he was wearing only a simple suit.

Jing Yu decisively prevented her from taking off the coat he had given her and gestured towards the black business car with a nod of his chin.

"Get in the car first."

Tang Shu could only hurry into the car, where the heater was still running, immediately confronting her with a wave of heat that in an instant dispelled the cold she had brought in with her.

Through the front windshield, she saw Jing Yu with lips pressed tightly together, walking around the front of the business car to take the driver’s seat, and soon he was seated beside her.

Strangely, this time they did not use the distant terms such as Mr. Jing and Miss Tang but instead seemed like old friends who had known each other for many years.

Yet they had met less than a few months ago.

Jing Yu started the car, his long hands resting on the center console, turning the heating up to the highest setting.

"Have you had lunch yet?"

"I have."
