The villa's hall was adorned with a crystal chandelier, and the European-style decorations made Chen Mo feel a bit dazzled. The tables and chairs in the hall were all made of redwood, clearly expensive, and the various paintings on the walls added to the grandeur, leaving Chen Mo in awe.

Tian Tian led Chen Mo around the villa and then asked him, somewhat dazed, "Xiao Mo, what do you think of this place?"

Chen Mo nodded woodenly, "It's... it's great..."

Tian Tian smiled, "If you like it, why don't you move in here? It's very close to the university, just a ten-minute walk. It will be more convenient for me to come and study with you."

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sister Tian, this place is so luxurious. I'm afraid I can't afford the rent."

Tian Tian smiled, "Living here can be considered a small return for you teaching me. To be honest, you're such a skilled teacher, and you only charge 4000 yuan for tuition, which I think is a bit low. You don't need to pay rent, which will make me feel better."

Since Tian Tian had said so much, Chen Mo had no reason to refuse. He really wanted to experience the life of a rich person, so he immediately nodded, "Alright, I'll move in here. I'll move out when I start high school."

After they agreed, they started cleaning. Since Tian Tian hired professionals to clean the villa every month, it was already quite clean. They just did a quick sweep and were done.

On the way back, Tian Tian handed Chen Mo the spare key to the villa and a paper bag containing 104,000 yuan, saying that the promotional video had a great effect, and the provincial propaganda department had doubled the labor fees. The extra 4,000 yuan was the tuition she had paid.

Chen Mo held the villa key in one hand and the 104,000 yuan in cash in the other, feeling incredibly elated.

That night passed without incident. The next morning, Chen Mo started packing his things. Apart from some daily necessities, most of his belongings were computer parts. Of course, his unfinished computer also needed to be moved.

Tian Tian knew Chen Mo was moving today, so she came early in a neat T-shirt and jeans to help. Chen Mo didn't call a taxi but loaded his things into Tian Tian's car.

Chen Mo's things just filled the car's trunk and back seat. Then he handed the key to the shop to the neighboring shop owner for safekeeping and left the place where he had worked for a month and a half with Tian Tian.

By the time they finished moving, it was already noon. Tian Tian wanted to take Chen Mo out for a meal, but he refused, saying, "Sister Tian has helped me so much. I should be the one to treat you. Going out to eat is so unoriginal. Today, let Sister Tian try my cooking."

Tian Tian was very excited. They went to the market at the entrance of the neighborhood to buy some ingredients and returned. Chen Mo then started preparing lunch.

At 12:30 PM, a sumptuous lunch was laid out on the table. Tian Tian picked up her chopsticks and tasted a bite, immediately giving a thumbs up, "It's really delicious!"

Chen Mo watched his beautiful student enjoying the food, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He smiled, "If Sister Tian is willing, you can come and eat here every day. It's my way of thanking you for not charging rent."

Tian Tian nodded while eating, "Sure, I would come to freeload anyway. It's really delicious! My mom isn't as good a cook as you!"

As Tian Tian talked while eating, some food inevitably fell from her mouth. A piece of braised pork fell and left a noticeable stain on her chest.

Chen Mo immediately grabbed a tissue to help her wipe it off, but his hand stopped in mid-air.

A woman's chest is a sensitive area, and men generally shouldn't touch it. Chen Mo felt a bit awkward and stopped.

Tian Tian, seeing this, guessed what Chen Mo was thinking and said with a smile, "I'll do it myself."

Tian Tian took the tissue from Chen Mo and started wiping. Chen Mo promptly withdrew his hand and couldn't help but watch her.

Tian Tian was wearing a blue T-shirt. As she wiped, the shirt clung tightly to her body, and Chen Mo saw her prominent chest, which made his heart skip a beat. He felt his face heat up and quickly turned away, not daring to look.

Tian Tian wiped for a while but couldn't clean the stain. She put down the tissue and said, "Forget it, I'll change clothes later. Let's enjoy the delicious food you made."

They continued eating. Tian Tian said, "Xiao Mo, you just moved in today. I won't disturb you after we finish eating. Can we start the lessons tomorrow?"

Chen Mo nodded, "Sure, what time will you come?"

Tian Tian thought for a moment and replied, "I'm free these days. Since it's a lesson, we should be punctual. I'll come at 8 AM every day. Is that okay?"

Chen Mo had no objections and nodded, "No problem, let's do it."

After lunch, they cleaned up the dishes together, and then Tian Tian said goodbye and left.

After Tian Tian left, Chen Mo realized an important issue: his computer wasn't finished, and he had no computer to teach with.

Chen Mo immediately ran out, but he couldn't catch up with a car. Tian Tian's car had already left the neighborhood. Chen Mo had no choice but to lock the villa's door and head to Tian Tian's faculty apartment.

Ten minutes later, Chen Mo arrived at the apartment entrance. The security guard stopped him, "What are you doing here?"

Chen Mo smiled and explained, "I'm Tian's brother from room 305. I need to see her. I was here two nights ago. You can check the registration form if you don't believe me."

The security guard, who was on the day shift, didn't recognize Chen Mo. He checked the registration form and nodded after a moment, "You can go in, but don't wander around."

Chen Mo nodded and thanked him, "Thank you, sir. I promise not to wander."

After entering the apartment, Chen Mo went straight up to room 305 and knocked, "Sister Tian—Sister Tian—I'm Xiao Mo. Are you there?"

Chen Mo knocked, but there was no response. He tried harder, and the door unexpectedly opened. He heard music playing from the bedroom and smiled, "Sister Tian must be listening to music. No wonder she didn't hear me."

Chen Mo walked into the living room and saw that the bedroom door was open. Without thinking, he walked to the door and said with a smile, "Sister Tian—uh... you... you don't lock the door when you change clothes...?"
