Jiang Moche explained simply, "It's nothing, just some students exchanging experiences."

The teacher explained with a smile, "Exchange learning is a group of top students learning from each other, exchanging ideas, and correcting each other."

Luo Yusheng looked at Jiang Moche in surprise; he had actually given up such an opportunity for her.

If the teacher hadn't brought it up, he wouldn't have told her, and she wouldn't have known what he had done.

After the teacher left the classroom, Luo Yusheng forced a smile: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for dragging you out to listen to the lecture, causing you to miss the opportunity for exchange and learning."

"Just let me know if something like this happens again. I can handle it myself. Your matter is more important."

Jiang Moche handed her the pen: "The teacher is exaggerating. It's fine if I don't participate in the exchange and learning. I know all the students who are involved, and we can arrange to meet up privately."

Luo Yusheng took the pen, and their fingertips touched.

The warm touch reminded her of that cold winter when Jiang Moche walked towards her, caught her as she fell, and his body heat dispelled her chill.

In her past life, she didn't even know where their paths crossed before he gave her his last bit of warmth.

In this life, she and he had only known each other for a little over a month, yet he always thought of her needs.

Out of curiosity, she asked directly, "Why do you take such good care of me?"

He blinked hastily and made up a flimsy excuse: "I value talent."

After saying that, he changed the subject: "Today, Ji Tingxiao was so angry he almost hit you. Aren't you afraid he'll retaliate?"

She smiled and shook her head: "He wouldn't dare."

He can't afford to offend the Luo family now, so he doesn't dare to do anything to her.

She tilted her head, her ponytail swaying with the movement: "Jiang Moche."

She called his name in a cheerful tone, with a big smile on her face: "You're worried about me, aren't you?"

Jiang Moche avoided her intense gaze and changed the subject again: "Shall I take you home?"

He walked quickly, and Luo Yusheng lagged half a step behind him, seemingly noticing that his earlobes were slightly red.

She didn't refuse his offer to take her home. When they were almost home, she saw a thin man standing at the door through the car window.

The weather was hot, and her loose gray clothes made her look even thinner. Her trousers reached the ground, and her sleeves were rolled up, making them look ill-fitting.

Her face was covered in wrinkles, and a few gray hairs were mixed in with her dry, yellow hair. She gripped the courtyard gate, anxiously speaking to the housekeeper.

Jiang Moche saw it too and asked her, "Do you know her?"

Luo Yusheng shook her head.

The vehicle slowed down as it approached the gate, and the gate opened accordingly.

Hearing the noise, the woman looked towards the car and saw her sitting in the back seat. She jogged over, gripped the half-open window with both hands, and called out affectionately, "Sheng Sheng."

She looked closely but still couldn't remember who the woman was, and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

“I am Xixi’s mother.” Song’s mother smiled shyly. “It’s normal that you don’t remember your aunt. It’s been a long time since I last came to see you.”

Since Song Qianqian moved into the Luo family home, she has lost contact with her family for several years, and she doesn't necessarily come home for holidays. She also doesn't allow her to visit her.

No wonder he looked unfamiliar and I couldn't recognize him.

As they were talking, Song's mother stuffed the fruit she was carrying into Luo Yusheng's hands.

She didn't accept the fruit, and after getting out of the car, she asked, "What's wrong?"

Song's mother could sense her wariness and said in a low voice, "I still remember the first time I met you, you weren't even as tall as my waist, and now you're so tall."

She gestured to her waist with her hand: "Sisi is shy, and Mr. Luo, thinking of Sisi, let me stay for a few days. During those days, you clung to me the whole time, saying that my cooking was delicious, that I was pretty, and that Sisi was pretty too."

She avoided answering, which only made Luo Yusheng more curious: "What are you doing here?"

Song's mother had no choice but to reveal the purpose of her visit: "Could you let Qianqian return to the Luo family?"

She felt embarrassed after she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed: "I don't know why the Luo family suddenly kicked Qianqian out, but I have already criticized and educated her, and she will not be like before."

Despite being an elder, Song's mother was willing to beg Song Qianqian on her behalf, and her words were sincere.

This softened Luo Yusheng's resolve, making her unable to refuse.

But she could never let Song Qianqian come back.

Just as she was in a dilemma, Jiang Moche spoke up for her and said, "With the college entrance exam approaching, let's separate and have some peace and quiet."

Before Song's mother could say anything more, Jiang Moche cut her off: "For her, the college entrance exam is the most important thing."

Studying is the most important thing right now, so Song's mother naturally dared not delay it.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Luo Yusheng instructed the housekeeper to properly escort Song's mother back home.

The next day, just as Luo Yusheng was about to enter the classroom, she was surrounded by four girls from all sides, blocking her way.

She glanced impatiently at the girls blocking her way and asked Jiang Lili, who was leading them, "What are you doing?"

Jiang Lili was annoyed and impatient: "I won't say anything about you bullying Qianqian, but why are you bullying her mother too?"

"So refusing Song Qianqian to move into my house is considered bullying? You can say such a robber's logic without even blushing."

She moved closer to Jiang Lili: "Do I need to praise your thick skin?"

Jiang Lili didn't expect her to dare to fight back. She looked at her with disdain: "Don't pretend. We all know."

She deliberately raised her voice and said, "You were jealous of Sisi and drove her away. Sisi's mother brought fruit to beg you, but you smashed the fruit and made her pick it up and take it back to eat, saying that her family was poor and that picking up garbage to eat was normal for them, and that they shouldn't waste it."

Luo Yusheng raised an eyebrow, she had no idea that she had done such a thing: "That was quite excessive."

Jiang Lili subconsciously replied, "Of course!"

She realized that it was Luo Yusheng who said this, and her eyes widened. "You actually have self-awareness? That's rare."

"Not only that, you also said that someone like Xixi can never enter the Luo family again in this lifetime. You said her mother is a slut, and Xixi is a bastard born of a slut."

She grew increasingly agitated as she spoke: "No matter how jealous you are of Xixi, you can't insult her. No wonder everyone avoids you like the plague."

The crowd was led astray and began pointing fingers at Luo Yusheng.

"How can you say that? That's too much."

"Why are they insulting their elders over their own grudges?"

Jiang Lili doesn't have the brains to make up such rumors out of thin air; it's likely someone instigated her.

Just then, Luo Yusheng caught a glimpse of Song Qianqian coming out of the classroom out of the corner of her eye, and called out to her loudly, asking, "This is what your mother told you after she went back?"

In short, Song Qianqian became the focus of attention.

Countless inquisitive eyes fell upon her, awaiting her answer.

Song Qianqian gritted her teeth.

Song's mother did not say that. After she returned, she praised Luo Yusheng for having the housekeeper send her back.

She's still too easily swayed; it was just a simple matter of asking the driver to take her back, and she actually started praising him...

But now, she absolutely cannot let Luo Yusheng get away with this!
