Gold Medal Sweetheart

"Teacher Tang, you're the most crude complimenter I've ever seen," Jin Taize chuckled. "But I like it."

Tang Xin stuck out her tongue, but felt a little proud in her heart.

Although her praise was not very good, Young Master Jin was still confused by such words. He said that he liked her praising him.

No matter whether it is of good quality or not, as long as it is good, that's all.

Jin Taize patted the back of his bicycle and said, "I've changed my mode of transportation today. Teacher Tang, would you be so kind as to give me a favor?"

Feeling a little embarrassed by the teasing, Tang Xin smiled shyly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jin."

Sitting in the back seat, Jin Taize looked down, then turned his head to the person behind him and said, "It seems that Teacher Tang didn't learn the essence of the safety training this morning."

"Huh?" Tang Xin didn't understand.

"Teacher Tang, doesn't he wear a seat belt?" Jin Taize coaxed.

Tang Xin was confused by him. Where did the seat belt come from on the bicycle?

Seeing that the girl looked unruly, Jin Taize sighed lightly, pulled her arm up and wrapped it around his waist.

"Hold me tight." The man whispered, and the car started to drive through the tree-lined avenues on campus.

The wheels began to turn smoothly and briskly. This sudden change from stillness made Tang Xin subconsciously tighten her arms.

The man's waist and abdomen were strong and lean. Even through the clothes, Tang Xin could still feel his well-defined muscles caressing her forearm with his body temperature.

A summer breeze carrying the scent of grass and trees blew gently.

Looking at the familiar scenery of the campus receding, a feeling of time travel came over me, as if it was not only the scenery but also time that was receding.

Looking at the man's spotless white T-shirt swaying in the wind and caressing her cheek from time to time, Tang Xin seemed to have returned to her school days, and a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.

After having lunch in the cafeteria, there was still some time before the afternoon training, so Jin Taize asked the host, Teacher Tang, if there was any place in her alma mater with nice scenery that would be best for killing time.

Tang blurted out without thinking that the area around the school's artificial lake was the best place to spend time.

But after she said that, she felt a little regretful. It was indeed suitable for killing time, but most of the people who went there to kill time were couples.

However, words once spoken are like water spilled, and Jin Taize had already mounted his bicycle and headed towards the artificial lake.

Fortunately, it is not yet time for the school to officially start, so there are not many students on campus, and the artificial lake is even quieter and more peaceful, but there are still many young couples here.

Tang Xin scratched his forehead and sat down with Jin Taize in a deserted pavilion by the lake, gazing out at the clear blue lake water. The breeze blew, bringing bursts of freshness.

They sat like this for a long time, and the two of them tacitly did not speak. If it were normal, sitting like this with someone for half a day would be so awkward that it would make you feel like you were living in a three-bedroom apartment.

Tang Xin glanced at Jin Taize, she didn't expect that the person who made her feel not uncomfortable at all at the moment was the man who usually bickered with her.

“When the world was in turmoil, I once sat alone for a long time in a park near my home, gazing at the scenery.”

"You must have been under a lot of pressure at that time."

Thinking of the reports he had seen on the Internet about Shi Tian’s difficult times, Tang Xin couldn’t imagine how he, at such a young age, could single-handedly shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving Shi Tian.

"It's not really pressure," Jin Taize said lightly, "it's just that I can't find anyone who can enjoy the scenery with me."

"..."

These words made Teacher Tang cough.

"Even friends who had been close to my dad for over a decade suddenly became cold and indifferent to him."

Knowing that this was a reference to Shao Xiong, and since Jin Taize had brought it up, Tang Xin followed up on his lead and asked, "I've read previous reports. It's said that the Shao and Jin families were friends for many years. Did the Shao family really not help Shi Tian back then?"
