Chen Mo thought Tian Tian was quite a decent person. Although she was the daughter of a wealthy family, she didn't have a hint of arrogance. Unlike other rich people who looked down on the poor, she treated people with great grace, almost like a gentleman, giving off a warm and refined aura. He felt a bit guilty for passing the tuition fee onto her.

However, Chen Mo quickly found a reasonable excuse for himself. He thought: Although this might be a bit unfair, it wasn't my idea. She insisted on paying the tuition herself. Who can blame me? Besides, her family is so wealthy; this amount of money is nothing to her.

Just as Chen Mo was thinking this, Tian Tian smiled and said, "Of course, you should pay for the lessons. Four thousand yuan isn't expensive. Look at me; I'm in college, and the skills I've learned are far inferior to yours, but the tuition is no less. I think this price is very fair. From now on, I'll follow you to learn computer technology, and I'll pay you four thousand yuan per month as tuition. It's settled."

Chen Mo had quoted a lump sum of four thousand yuan, but Tian Tian thought it was a monthly fee. Hearing this, Chen Mo quickly waved his hands and said, "Four thousand yuan is a lump sum, not a monthly fee!"

Chen Mo regretted his words as soon as he said them. He scolded himself: Chen Mo, Chen Mo, you're a fool for not taking such an obvious advantage.

However, seeing Tian Tian's surprised expression, Chen Mo suddenly felt he should act this way. Sister Tian trusts you so much; how can you take advantage of her?

Tian Tian was taken aback for a moment before she said, "Oh... I see. Xiao Mo, you're really an honest and reliable person. If you hadn't said that, I would have really paid you four thousand yuan every month. It seems I've chosen the right teacher!"

Tian Tian, a university teacher, naturally spoke with a teacher's tone. Chen Mo felt a bit embarrassed by her praise and said, "It's only right. I can't take what isn't mine. One must always be fair."

Tian Tian nodded in agreement, becoming even more satisfied with Chen Mo as her teacher. As they continued to chat while eating, the longer they talked, the more Tian Tian liked Chen Mo. Apart from his technical skills, his maturity and understanding for his age impressed her. In her year as a university teacher, she hadn't met a student as mature as Chen Mo.

They left the hotel after more than an hour and Tian Tian drove Chen Mo to the Linhai University faculty apartment complex.

Although it was summer vacation, many students were still on campus. On summer evenings, students would come out to cool off, and some couples would sit under the trees, whispering and sometimes kissing passionately.

Chen Mo, sitting in the car, was quite surprised. This was the first time he had seen such open displays of affection. Seeing Chen Mo's expression, Tian Tian couldn't help but laugh and said, "These things are quite common in universities. Society is becoming more open, and some things aren't as strictly regulated as before."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Oh." The car stopped at the faculty apartment building. Chen Mo got out and looked at the dark building, asking, "Sister Tian, why is it so dark here?"

Tian Tian explained, "Students don't go home because the travel expenses are high, and it's a waste of time and energy to come and go. But teachers are different. Most of them have families, so they naturally spend their holidays with them. People like me who don't go home are rare. There are only four of us in this female faculty apartment building, and they might be out shopping."

As she spoke, Tian Tian led Chen Mo upstairs. The security guard at the door saw Tian Tian bringing a boy in and politely asked, "Teacher Tian, who is he...?"

Tian Tian explained, "He's my younger brother, here to visit. He'll leave soon. Can you make it convenient for us?"

The security guard nodded and said, "Of course, no problem, as long as you don't bring an adult male in."

Chen Mo, who was shorter than Tian Tian, had a dark, youthful face, clearly indicating his young age. After registering, the security guard let him in.

As they entered the hallway, Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Tian, you're so beautiful. No one would believe you if you said I'm your younger brother."

Tian Tian laughed and said, "It's just an excuse. It works for both of us. Don't take it too seriously. To be honest, if I really had a brother like you, I'd be thrilled. Unfortunately, I'm an only child, and it's been quite boring growing up."

Chen Mo responded, "Your family is so wealthy, and you're an only child. I bet there are many men pursuing you, right?"

Tian Tian sighed, "Indeed, some men do pursue me, but I don't like any of them. I can see the greed in their eyes even from a hundred meters away."

Chen Mo laughed, "That's not necessarily true. You're so beautiful and have such a good temper. There must be someone who genuinely likes you for who you are, not for your wealth."

Tian Tian said helplessly, "Even if someone genuinely likes me, they might have other thoughts after hearing about my family's wealth. I just don't understand why money changes people. Is money really that important?"

Chen Mo thought to himself: A well-fed woman doesn't understand the hunger of a poor man. Brother Li lost his girlfriend because he had no money, no car, and no house. You, however, have a bias against men because you're too wealthy. The world is truly unreasonable.

But he said, "Sister Tian, you're right. People are becoming more materialistic these days."

It felt a bit inappropriate for a woman in her twenties to discuss such matters with a boy under sixteen, but if Chen Mo weren't so mature, Tian Tian wouldn't have shared these thoughts with him.

As they talked, they arrived at a door on the third floor. Tian Tian took out her key, opened the door, and welcomed Chen Mo inside. Chen Mo couldn't help but admire the room, saying, "Sister Tian, your dorm is so beautiful!"

Tian Tian closed the door and smiled, "I painted it myself during my free time. I hope you like it."

The walls of Tian Tian's room were covered with landscape paintings, giving the room a very aesthetic feel. Chen Mo was amazed by the bamboo, flowers, pines, and cypresses.

After admiring them for a while, he said, "Sister Tian, I didn't expect your painting skills to be so high. If you hadn't become a computer teacher, you might have been a better art teacher."

Tian Tian sighed, "If I hadn't failed to get into the Central Academy of Fine Arts, I might have become an art teacher. Life is full of regrets, but being a computer teacher isn't bad. I don't have to go out to sketch or spend a lot of time thinking about compositions, which saves me a lot of mental energy." (Cool activities with amazing prizes, including stylish phones!
