The Older Brother of My Student is My Secret Crush

Chapter 29

Yu Na sat up in bed, picked up her phone, and typed a message: "Can you take me to see that house?" This topic was perfect. Maybe she could even get him to come out with her.

Yu Na's heart pounded as she hesitantly pressed the send button.

After sending it, time seemed to stretch infinitely.

One minute felt like ten minutes.

Restlessly, Yu Na glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already half past ten.

The phone remained silent.

Had he fallen asleep?

But she wasn't sleepy at all.

She went to the kitchen and washed a few strawberries before returning to her room.

Anxiously, she checked her phone and was surprised to find that Xiao Chen had replied just one minute after she sent the message.

Yu Na suddenly remembered that she had put her phone on silent mode because she was supervising evening self-study.

As a result, she didn't notice it even after twenty minutes had passed.

Eagerly, Yu Na opened her phone and saw Xiao Chen's reply: "Let's do it on the weekend." Yu Na couldn't help but smile: "Sure." She put down her phone with satisfaction and rolled around on the bed.

She thought to herself, Yu Na, you are quite clever.

... Xiao Chen contacted her on Friday night and said that on Saturday afternoon, he would take her to see the house.

Yu Na replied with a "okay."

Come to think of it, since they reunited, they had never met up without prior notice.

Every time they met, it was unprepared.

Sometimes Yu Na looked plain, and sometimes she wasn't in a good state.

It seemed like there was never a time when she dressed up carefully.

On Friday night, after replying to Xiao Chen, she quickly took a shower.

After the shower, she took out a cleansing mask and a moisturizing mask, went through the skincare routine, and only then got into bed to sleep.

The next day at noon, after Yu Na had finished eating, she started getting ready early.

She put on an exquisite full makeup and wore the outfit she had prepared in advance.

When Xiao Chen arrived downstairs, she went to the entrance and checked herself in the mirror to make sure there were no flaws before picking up her branded handbag from the hanger.

Luckily, all these treasures were still there.

... Xiao Chen sat in the driver's seat, with music playing in the car, humming a tune.

Relaxed, he leaned back and played with his phone.

By chance, he looked up and saw a guy trying to park sideways but couldn't manage it.

Back and forth, in and out. The car had a prominent "learner" sign on the back.

Initially, Xiao Chen watched with interest for a few seconds from inside the car.

But he realized that the guy was really struggling.

The guy had his car window open, and Xiao Chen could clearly hear him cursing in the car out of frustration: "Damn it!"

Xiao Chen: "..."

He thought, he couldn't just stand by without helping.

So he opened the car door, got out, and walked up to the guy's car, tapping on the window.

"Need some help?"

The young guy looked barely of legal age and looked at him suspiciously, "Can you handle it, bro?"

Xiao Chen, both arrogant and disdainful, replied, "When I was driving gracefully abroad, you didn't even know where you were."

Upon hearing this, the young guy immediately got out of the car and gave up his seat, saying, "Then, thank you."

Xiao Chen sat in the driver's seat and realized it was a manual transmission. He was at a loss.

With the help of his memory, Xiao Chen smoothly backed the car into the garage.

His friend was amazed, saying, "Impressive!"

Ignoring his friend, Xiao Chen parked the car, got out, and opened the door.

However, the young man stopped him and said, "Brother, can you teach me?"

"Not convenient," Xiao Chen refused without hesitation. "I have an appointment."

Feeling a bit guilty for rejecting the young man so decisively, Xiao Chen patted his shoulder and said, "If you drive it often enough, you'll naturally learn."

The young man wanted to say something but felt a gaze firmly fixed on them.

He looked in that direction and saw a pretty girl standing not far away, smiling at them.

Judging by her appearance, she should be someone's girlfriend.

The young man, discerning and with a meaningful look, said, "Go ahead!"

Following his gaze, Xiao Chen turned his head and also saw Yu Na.

Her hair was tucked behind her ears, and it lazily hung on both sides of her shoulders.

The sunlight tinted her jet-black hair with a hint of golden hue, and the stray strands danced in the wind.

She had clearly taken great care with her appearance, even dressing differently than she did at school, and she had even put on high heels.

Yu Na stared directly at him, her lips curling into a gentle smile.

Xiao Chen's expression became somewhat unnatural, and he quickly averted his gaze.

The young man leaned closer to him and whispered, "Brother, where did you find your girlfriend? Can you introduce me to someone like her?"

Xiao Chen replied, "..."

He inexplicably blurted out, "I dare to introduce, but do you dare to pursue?"

The young man was momentarily speechless.

He was so captivated by her beauty that he forgot that a girl of her caliber was beyond his reach.

After Xiao Chen walked over, Yu Na asked with a smile, "Who is he?"

"I don't know. I helped him park his car," Xiao Chen replied.

"...Oh," Yu Na waved at him as a greeting, then headed to the passenger seat without looking back.

Xiao Chen deliberately turned his head to see the young man's reaction. As expected, he had a look of infatuation, almost on the verge of a nosebleed.

"..."

He was quite hopeless.

But to be fair, Yu Na did look quite beautiful today, so it was no wonder the young man was attracted to her.

Once inside the car, Xiao Chen couldn't help but glance at her outfit and uncertainly asked, "Today, are we going to see a house?"

Yu Na replied, "Yes."

Sensing his confusion, she shyly smiled and said, "Ah, it's just that I haven't dressed up in this place for such a long time, and since I didn't have anything else to do today..."

Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Alright."

She looked expectant and asked, "Is it nice?"

Without looking at her again, Xiao Chen focused on driving, his gaze fixed ahead, and replied, "Hmm."

"..." He really had no enthusiasm.

But then again, Yu Na didn't expect to hear any compliments from him in the first place.

The car parked in the underground garage of Huating No.1.

Each floor had one unit, and the elevator took them to the tenth floor.

Xiao Chen's apartment was a one-bedroom with an area of over 120 square meters, tastefully decorated. It had complete appliances but lacked personal belongings, giving it a spacious and uncluttered feel.

Xiao Chen stood against the wall with his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant. "A one-bedroom apartment is just right. If you rent a place that's too big, it might raise suspicions," he lazily remarked.

As Yu Na toured the apartment, she asked, "How do you know all this?"

"I excel at navigating through these kind of deceptive situations," Xiao Chen replied confidently.

Yu Na was puzzled, "?"

Xiao Chen took a clean cloth and quickly tidied up the place. "If you're worried they won't believe you, you can bring some of your belongings in advance and leave them here."

"Xiao Chen."

"What's up?"

After much hesitation and inner conflict, Yu Na finally broached the somewhat unpleasant topic, "The other day, you told me to go back and apologize to my parents. Why are you helping me now?"

However, the conversation took an unexpected turn when it reached Xiao Chen.

He was momentarily taken aback, seemingly surprised by her question.

Then, in a casual manner, he responded, "Would I dare say anything? Say a couple of words to you and your eyes turn red. Say a couple more and you'll end up sitting on the floor crying."

Yu Na, "..."

She asked, "Haven't you lived here before?"

"I have."

"But it doesn't seem like you left any traces of living here."

"No kidding. Didn't you move out without cleaning?" Xiao Chen rinsed the cloth. "Qiao Rui is coming, and it's strange for two men to live in a one-bedroom apartment, isn't it?"
