The girl clutched at her heart, trying her best to calm her racing heartbeat down. She turned around at the mirror on the wall to check if there was anything off about her demeanor before smiling to Rong Mo. “Hello, my name is Zhu Yuyu!”
Rong Mo smiled too. “I’m Rong Mo.”
“Rong Mo! You’re the grandson of great auntie’s friend! I… Granny Shang is my great auntie, and Shang Mo is my cousin! Glad to meet you!” Zhu Yuyu said excitedly. She believed in love at first sight, but she never thought that it would ever happen to her. Yet, she would never admit to it that despite only meeting him for a couple of minutes now, she felt that she had already fallen in love with this man.
“Likewise… I’ll be leaving first.” Rong Mo did not say much, turning around to leave after the polite greeting.
Zhu Yuyu felt that Rong Mo was rather distant, and had taken her as a stranger completely. But that didn’t matter. They were strangers right now, but not in the future!
Unlike Rong Mo’s coldness, Zhu Yuyu’s petite face was so steamed that it could cook an egg. She touched her own cheeks, her mind filled with images of the former. She then walked to Shang Mo’s study like a zombie and knocked on the door.
After obtaining Shang Mo’s permission, she went in. However, her face was still lovestruck as she called out, “Shang Mo!”
Shang Mo was tall and sturdy, almost an entire head taller than Rong Mo. Furthermore, his background was exceptional, and so was his coolness and aloofness. Wearing a pair of shades, he exuded forth with a forbidden charm. Despite all that, Yuyu felt that Rong Mo was still more handsome.
Great auntie had said that Rong Mo was only 18 this year. He was only a young man right now. A couple of years later, he would definitely be manlier than Shang Mo!
Looking at his cousin’s lovestruck face, Shang Mo tapped on the desk with his fingers.
Zhu Yuyu snapped back to her senses before recalling that she had a reason for rushing in here all flustered. Immediately, she sniggered and flirted with a high pitch voice that only girls had, asking coyly, “Shang Mo, are you busy?”
As though he knew what she was about to say, Shang Mo spoke before her coldly, “Just come alone next time. Don’t bring that Annie Zhao along.”
“Huh, but why?” Zhu Yuyu’s face was confused as she slammed both hands on the desk, acting cute with a lifted chin. “Sister Annie is quite nice, isn’t she? Besides, isn’t her father your godfather? Our families have quite a good relationship too. Why don’t you like me bringing Sister Annie along to play?”
“Keep your distance from her in the future!” Shang Mo took out a folder and gave the impression that he was busy with work and she should leave soon. Zhu Yuyu pouted her lips and let off an upset expression. Just as she turned around, wanting to leave, her eyes lit up as she recalled something else.
Coughing gently, she looked at Shang Mo. “Shang Mo, erm… isn’t it going to be my high school final examinations next year? My mathematics results are a little poor…”
Shang Mo looked at her, allowing her to continue. “…”
Zhu Yuyu put on a serious face and chirped. “So… erm… Shang Mo… could I ask something of you?”
“Hire a tutor?” Shang Mo asked gently.
Zhu Yuyu nodded her head furiously. “Right, right! I heard from great auntie that Rong Mo is excellent, especially in mathematics! I heard that he was brilliant in teaching Little Bu the other time! Could I have him tutor me in maths?”
