Yu Zhi had no idea what this black-hearted couple was plotting against him, and he continued to live his life of going out early and coming back late to work as before.

After the college entrance examination, Yu Zhi worked part-time in a creative art studio.

When there are no customers, he just looks after the shop, he can dawdle and draw, and do his own things. When there are customers, he receives them. The studio is mainly for experience and entertainment rather than training and learning, so the work is relatively easy.

Later, through the introduction of the studio owner, he got a tutoring job, teaching children to paint at home.

When the parents of the children first heard that Yu Zhi had just finished the college entrance examination and had not yet studied in an art school, they did not want him to come, thinking that his professional level was limited.

Later, after looking at Yu Zhi's portfolio, he learned that he not only ranked first in the province in this year's art joint examination, but also was admitted to the Peking University Academy of Fine Arts with the first place in cultural subjects. He immediately changed his attitude and asked Yu Zhi to come to his house for a trial lesson.

After the trial class, the children liked Yu Zhi very much and hoped that Yu Zhi would come often. The parents respected the children's wishes and not only increased the class hours from twice a week to five times a week, but also raised the hourly wage from four hundred to one thousand.

After taking on two jobs, Yu Zhi works in the studio in the morning and tutors in the afternoon.

The tutoring ended at four in the afternoon. Yu Zhi didn't want to go home so early, so he found a part-time job in a study room last week, teaching from six in the afternoon to ten in the evening.

Having experienced the embarrassment of being penniless too early, Yu Zhi knew very well that money was something that could not be lived without, and it was even worse to rely on others to give it to you. Only money earned by oneself was stable.

Four o'clock in the afternoon, in a high-end villa in Shanghai.

Yu Zhi glanced at the time and said to the child, "That's all for today."

The child felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He dropped his paintbrush, held Yu Zhi's two fingers in his little hand, and gently shook them. He invited him in a baby voice, "Teacher Yu, my mom baked some cookies for me. How about we have afternoon tea together?"

Yu Zhi declined: "You go and eat, the teacher has something to do." After saying that, he realized that his attitude was cold and hard, so he forced a dry smile at the child and slowly pulled his hand away.

The child, still smiling, tilted his head and asked, "Teacher, are you going to teach other children how to draw?"

"Can't I delay for half an hour? The cookies my mother bakes are delicious." As she said that, her little hand pinched up again, and her round eyes blinked, looking at him eagerly.

Yu Zhi had long accepted the fact that he was not liked. He really didn't understand what was it about him that attracted this kid, who often used various excuses to prevent him from leaving after class.

It’s not that he’s annoyed. If I had to say, he’s at a loss, as if something that doesn’t belong to him is suddenly stuffed into his hands, and he doesn’t know whether to accept it or not.

Just when Yu Zhi was at a loss as to what to say, there was a knock on the door.

The child said to the door, "Come in."

The door was pushed open and a gentle and elegant woman walked in. She had long black curly hair that reached her waist. She was wearing a white dress and had two dimples on her face when she smiled.

When the child saw the person coming, he let go of Yu Zhi's fingers and ran over, looking very happy: "Mom."

Wen Yiying smiled and picked up the child, kissed his face, and asked, "Was our Suo Suo well behaved in class today?"

"Good boy!" Suosuo pointed to the easel not far away, "Teacher Yu is teaching Suosuo how to draw a bunny today."

"Wow~" Wen Yiying walked towards the easel with Suosuo in her arms, admiring the rabbit he painted. "Suosuo is great, he's Mommy's little painter."

Suosuo giggled when he heard this, and kept burying his little head in Wen Yiying's arms, feeling both proud and shy.

Wen Yiying said to Yu Zhi, "Teacher Yu, I baked some cookies. If you're free, why not stay for afternoon tea?"

Yu Zhi didn't say a word, his eyes were out of focus, as if he was in a daze.

"Teacher Yu?" Wen Yiying called him again.

Yu Zhi finally came back to his senses, lowered his eyes, and whispered, "Sorry, thank you for your kindness, but I have other things to do."

Suosuo pouted in disappointment. Wen Yiying patted the child on the back and did not force Yu Zhi to stay.

"That's okay." But considering the child's good intentions, he changed his tone and said, "Teacher Yu, please come downstairs and wait for a moment. I'll ask Auntie to pack some for you to take home and try."

Yu Zhi was stunned. He knew it would be rude to refuse again, so he nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Miss Wen."

While the babysitter was packing the cookies, the rain outside was getting heavier.

Yu Zhi went out without an umbrella today. Looking at the rain outside the floor-to-ceiling window, he felt secretly worried.

People who live in this area either have a driver at home or have countless private cars. They have no need to take a taxi, and taxis and online ride-hailing services don't like to come here.

Yu Zhi takes the subway to the nearby area every day and then walks for half an hour.

After Wen Yiying finished replying to the work message, she saw Yu Zhi staring at the French window and said, "I'll have the driver take Teacher Yu there later."

Before Yu Zhi could speak, Suo Suo reminded his mother, "Mom, you forgot. Uncle Zhong is not at home today. He sent grandpa and grandma to the villa to go fishing early in the morning."

Wen Yiying was slightly startled, then said, "Look at my poor memory. It's hard to get a taxi around here. Teacher Yu, why don't you wait until the rain subsides before leaving?"

Yu Zhi: "It's okay, can you lend me an umbrella if it's convenient?"

Wen Yiying looked at the rain outside the window, her face showing worry: "It's not inconvenient, but it's raining so hard, even holding an umbrella might not be enough..."

"I'll take him."

At this moment, a cold and distant male voice interrupted their conversation.

Yu Zhi and Wen Yiying looked in the direction of the voice.

A tall, muscular man with long legs walked out of the elevator. He was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. A few wisps of hair fell on his forehead. His lower eyes were exposed, his pupils were dark, and he had double eyelids.

It was a face so handsome that it was unforgettable.

It was also a face that was so cold and inhuman.

He is Suosuo's uncle.

Yu Zhi had only met him a few times and was not familiar with him.

Beta cannot physiologically sense alpha's pheromones, but the first time he saw this man, Yu Zhi was inexplicably certain that he was an alpha.

Perhaps it was the aggressiveness inherent in his dark-skinned appearance, coupled with his serious demeanor, that allowed Yu Zhi to sense his powerful aura even without being able to smell pheromones.

This speculation was later confirmed in a casual chat with Wen Yiying.

He is indeed an alpha, and an S-level one at that.

Yu Zhi didn't feel comfortable asking someone he didn't know to give him a ride, so he refused without giving it much thought: "No, I don't want to bother you. The subway station isn't far away, I can walk there in two steps."

As soon as she finished speaking, the nanny packed the cookies, came over with a paper bag and handed it to Yu Zhi. Wen Yiying asked her to find an umbrella for Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi stood up, took it, thanked him, and prepared to leave after getting the umbrella.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Alpha walked in front of Yu Zhi and blocked his way out.

Yu Zhi is 1.8 meters tall, which is not considered short among betas, but he is thin. Suddenly, when he comes face to face with an S-level alpha, he is made to look petite, and the shadow under his feet is completely covered by the alpha.

"No trouble."

Alpha stared at Yu Zhi's face and repeated it again, his tone leaving no room for negotiation or refusal.

"I send you."
