Chapter 350 - 222: Xu Yingjun’s Sense of Contrast (2)

"Yeah, yeah. I just go in my free time. It’s just for relaxation."

"Yeah."

After talking about school, they wandered around a bit more, bought some snacks on the B1 level, and then Lin Jiang started to drive Xu Yingjun home.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang! Stop the car."

"What’s wrong?"

"I want to buy a few books."

Lin Jiang looked in the direction Xu Yingjun was pointing and saw a Xinhua Bookstore. It was a pretty decent size.

He stopped the car, and the two of them walked toward the bookstore.

It had four floors filled with a dazzling array of all kinds of books.

But a closer look revealed that books for graduate school entrance exams, doctoral entrance exams, and academic research made up the vast majority.

Most of the customers were students from Jiaoda.

Xu Yingjun was very focused, likely buying what Shen Qingqiu had told them to get. She bought two copies of each book, getting a set for Li Yueting as well.

After buying the books for their major, they went to the English section.

Once there, however, Xu Yingjun became much less decisive. She browsed and browsed, unable to make up her mind on which book to buy.

’Brother Jiang said he’d teach me English, but I bet he doesn’t know any of this stuff, hehe.’

’But I still really want to study with Brother Jiang.’

’I wonder when I’ll get the chance.’

Listening to Xu Yingjun’s rambling thoughts, Lin Jiang realized she seemed even more excited about this than he was.

A young woman in love really was the most charming sight.

He looked around at all the English-related books and figured they could get started on the tutoring today.

"Use Foreign Language Card, English."

’Foreign Language Card successfully used...’

As the notification sound faded, countless pieces of English-related knowledge flooded into Lin Jiang’s mind.

The strange sensation lasted for over a full minute before it ended.

Lin Jiang’s head felt a little itchy. He scratched it a few times, which felt much better.

’Looks like my brain actually grew.’

Now, when he looked at the English books around him, it was no different from reading Chinese.

Looking at an English poster on the wall, Lin Jiang read it aloud softly and found that even his pronunciation had become perfect.

This thing Tongzi rewarded him with was pretty awesome.

Just then, Lin Jiang saw a familiar figure.

She was wearing a black women’s blouse and gray, loose-fitting shorts, sitting and looking off into the distance.

And that person was none other than Shen Qingqiu!

Even from behind, Shen Qingqiu exuded the powerful aura of a cool, mature woman. It was as if all the light in the bookstore was shining on her alone.

Everyone and everything else paled in comparison.

The scholarly scent of books filling the room couldn’t compare to her feminine fragrance.

At the same time, a young man walked over to her.

He was dressed in casual clothes and a pair of UNC Blue AJ1s—a very trendy look.

The young man’s name was Cheng Shukai. He was one of Shen Qingqiu’s top students and had already secured a postgraduate recommendation.

"Teacher Shen, you’re usually busy with work. Since I’ve already got my postgraduate recommendation, I have plenty of time. I can help you tutor those two."

"That works. When I have class, you can go study with them," Shen Qingqiu said.

"Yingjun’s foundation is a little weaker, so when you’re explaining things to them, you’ll need to adjust your focus accordingly."

"No problem, you can leave it to me."

After standing up, Shen Qingqiu picked out two books.

She purposefully grabbed two sets each of *500 Reading Comprehension Passages for the Postgraduate Entrance Exam* and *English for Finance Majors*.

Just then, Xu Yingjun came over to Lin Jiang with the books she’d chosen, ready to pay and leave.

"Brother Jiang, I’m done picking."

Lin Jiang’s gaze shifted to Shen Qingqiu, who wasn’t far away.

"Want to go say hi?"

Xu Yingjun looked up, her expression one of pleasant surprise. "Teacher Shen!"

Hearing Xu Yingjun’s voice, Shen Qingqiu looked over and smiled.

"You two are here, too."

’Shen Qingqiu: Why didn’t he bring his own sister? Why bring Junjun instead?’

’Cheng Shukai: I can’t believe I ran into Junjun here! I’m so lucky!’

’Cheng Shukai: Who’s that guy with Junjun? He can’t be her boyfriend, can he? I’ve never heard about her having one!’

"Teacher Shen." Lin Jiang smiled and nodded, greeting her.

Shen Qingqiu nodded back, her eyes falling on the books in Xu Yingjun’s hands.

"Those books you have aren’t very good. They lack depth, and the content is mediocre. We chose these two sets for you instead. They should be enough for now."

"Thank you, Teacher Shen."

Xu Yingjun was a bit reserved, not having expected Teacher Shen to buy books for her.

"You’re welcome. But don’t slack off. You need to make use of all your time."

"Yes, I will."

"You guys chat. I’m going to look around somewhere else."

He couldn’t really join their conversation, so Lin Jiang made his excuse and turned to walk away.

Seeing Lin Jiang leave, Cheng Shukai said:

"Yingjun, I’ll study with you from now on. When Teacher Shen has class, you can ask me if you have any questions."

"Well..."

Xu Yingjun hesitated, not agreeing right away.

’This is so annoying! Why would he say that in front of Teacher Shen?!’

’Can’t he just stay away from me! What if Brother Jiang gets the wrong idea?!’

’How am I supposed to turn him down?!’

He had come along with Shen Qingqiu to a tutoring session once before and was constantly fawning over her.

Having been the campus belle of the University of Finance and Economics for so many years, Xu Yingjun could see right through guys like him.

Lin Jiang, who hadn’t walked far, heard Xu Yingjun’s thoughts. He glanced back at Cheng Shukai but didn’t say anything.

’As the campus belle of the University of Finance and Economics, handling a little thing like this should be a piece of cake for her.’

"I just talked to Brother Jiang. When Teacher Shen has class, he’s going to tutor me in English," Xu Yingjun said, making up an excuse to turn him down.
