Chapter 17

Because she didn't have to go to school today, Li Qian didn't wear her loose school uniform but changed into a different outfit. Although it was just a regular T-shirt and jeans, it made the young girl look full of youthful vitality. Even Jiang Ping, who in his previous life was a seasoned player, couldn't help but show his appreciation when he saw the youthful Li Qian.

Although Jiang Ping's mother's overly enthusiastic attitude made Li Qian feel a bit uncomfortable, she still sincerely thanked Zhu Yun. The girl's polite attitude made Jiang Ping nod in approval.

At the same time, Li Qian also saw Jiang Ping. A joyful smile immediately appeared on her delicate face, and she secretly gave him a look for help.

Jiang Ping, of course, understood Li Qian's meaning. He first gave her an apologetic smile, then said to Zhu Yun, who was still warmly greeting Li Qian, "Mom, Li Qian is here to help me review math. You don't need to bother, we need to get started!"

Upon hearing that Li Qian was there to help her son review, Zhu Yun smiled even more. Jiang Ping's words were quite effective, and she quickly said to her son, "Alright, go ahead. I won't disturb you!"

Although Jiang Ping knew his mother didn't mean anything by it, he still felt the words sounded a bit strange. Li Qian obviously felt the same way, and a light blush appeared on her delicate face.

Jiang Ping knew that the more he tried to explain, the worse it would get, so he didn't plan to explain at all. He just smiled at Li Qian and said, "Let's go to my room to review. I have a lot of questions to ask you!"

Jiang Ping's words slightly eased Li Qian's embarrassment. The girl smiled sweetly at him, and the two of them went to Jiang Ping's room to start reviewing.

For Li Qian, this was her first time reviewing with a boy alone, and especially in his room. Moreover, Li Qian already had a good impression of Jiang Ping, so when they were alone, the girl felt her cheeks turn red. She just lowered her head and sat at the desk, not knowing what to say.

Li Qian's shy expression naturally caught Jiang Ping's attention. The girl's fresh and cute appearance made Jiang Ping, who had the soul of an older man, feel a bit moved. He knew that Li Qian also had a good impression of him, otherwise she wouldn't have offered to review with him.

Looking at the delicate girl sitting beside him, Jiang Ping's eyes were full of admiration. He couldn't help but think to himself, "In my previous life, I didn't have the chance to fall in love during my teenage years. Maybe in this life, I can make up for that regret!"

However, Jiang Ping, with his past experience, knew that girls of Li Qian's age were very sensitive. If he approached her too quickly and tried to get closer, it would backfire. The best choice now was to let everything develop naturally. As long as they could maintain this kind of contact, the distance between them would definitely get closer.

As for how far things would develop with Li Qian in the future, Jiang Ping hadn't really thought about it seriously. For him, the most important thing was to change Li Qian's fate and prevent her from marrying the gambling addict from his previous life. If he could enjoy a teenage romance in the process, that would be a pleasant surprise.

With this in mind, Jiang Ping didn't let Li Qian remain shy any longer. He smiled at her and said, "Let's start reviewing. Time is precious, we shouldn't waste it."

Jiang Ping's calm attitude helped ease Li Qian's embarrassment. The girl smiled and nodded, "Alright, let's start!"

At Li Qian's insistence, Jiang Ping first helped her improve her English speaking. He had Li Qian read a passage and then corrected a few places where her pronunciation was not standard.

Li Qian, being a good student, although she was still a bit shy at first, once she started studying, her attitude changed immediately. She carefully followed Jiang Ping's pronunciation corrections and even asked a few grammar questions.

These questions were quite complex. Li Qian didn't really expect Jiang Ping to be able to answer them; she just wanted to discuss them with him.

However, what Li Qian didn't expect was that Jiang Ping actually knew the answers! He not only answered them without hesitation but also gave several examples to prove that his answers were correct.

Surprised, Li Qian quickly wrote down the answers and then said to Jiang Ping, "I never thought your English level would be so high. I've been trying to figure out these questions and was planning to ask Mr. Wang tomorrow!"

When Li Qian said this, her beautiful eyes sparkled with joy, and her delicate face showed a hint of admiration.

Li Qian was a beautiful and vibrant young girl. Now, with this expression, even with the soul of an older man, Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel a bit proud.

Feeling proud, Jiang Ping's old habit of being smooth-talking resurfaced. He smiled at Li Qian and said, "Actually, I have many strengths. As long as we're together, you'll get to know more about them!"

Upon hearing Jiang Ping's words, a blush immediately appeared on the girl's delicate face, and she quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at him. For Li Qian, who had always been a good student, being able to meet Jiang Ping alone under the pretext of reviewing was already the limit of what she could do. Jiang Ping's teasing words were a bit too much for her, and it was no wonder she felt embarrassed.

Jiang Ping liked the girl's shy and cute appearance, but he also knew that when facing a pure and lovely girl like Li Qian, he had to know when to stop. As the saying goes, "Too much is as bad as too little." Jiang Ping didn't want to ruin their current good relationship by being too eager.

So, Jiang Ping didn't dwell on the topic and quickly said to Li Qian, "We've reviewed English enough for today. Next, I have some math questions to ask you!"

Jiang Ping's words made Li Qian secretly sigh in relief. She quickly calmed her nervous heart and started helping him review math.

Since Li Qian's father was a math teacher, her math foundation was very solid. None of Jiang Ping's questions could stump her. The two of them, one asking seriously and the other answering carefully, lost track of time. By the time Li Qian answered Jiang Ping's last question, they realized it was already dusk.

Although there were still a few questions left, Jiang Ping didn't feel right asking them and instead smiled at Li Qian, "Time flies, it's almost dark."

Perhaps because she had spent the afternoon with Jiang Ping, Li Qian had relaxed a bit. She stretched unconsciously, "Yeah, I'm a bit tired too!"

Due to her posture, Li Qian's tender chest appeared even more prominent. Jiang Ping's gaze involuntarily fell on her chest, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "I never noticed before, but this girl actually has quite a lot to offer!"

Due to her sensitivity as a girl, Li Qian immediately noticed where Jiang Ping's gaze had fallen. If it had been anyone else, she would have been very angry. However, at that moment, Li Qian didn't feel any displeasure, just a bit at a loss. She stood up, lowered her head, and said softly, "It's getting late, I... I need to go home."

Jiang Ping, seeing Li Qian's expression, knew she had noticed something. He just pretended nothing had happened, stood up, and smiled, "It's almost dinner time. I'll ride my bike to send you home."

Li Qian didn't say anything, just nodded lightly. So, the young man and the girl rode a bike together, slowly heading towards Li Qian's home on the street at sunset.

Li Qian didn't say a word the whole way. Only after getting off the bike did she softly say to him, "Thank you, next Sunday... we'll meet again!"

Hearing Li Qian's words, Jiang Ping couldn't help but smile happily. He nodded heavily, "Alright, see you then!"

Hearing the joy in Jiang Ping's voice, Li Qian looked up and smiled at him, then turned and walked towards her home.

Although Li Qian was dressed very simply, the experienced Jiang Ping could see that the girl had a slender waist and long, straight legs. In a few years, the more mature Li Qian would definitely make many men fall for her.

However, for Jiang Ping, that was all in the future. What was most important to him now was to quickly save up enough money for his sister's medical expenses.

Watching Li Qian walk into the building, Jiang Ping rode his bike back. When he got home, Zhang Wei tried to pry into his relationship with Li Qian, but Jiang Ping casually brushed her off, much to the disappointment of his gossip-loving sister.

The next day was Monday. Regardless of whether Jiang Ping wanted to or not, he still had to go to school on time. After the first class, Zhang Jun found Jiang Ping and nervously whispered, "Old Jiang, you're in big trouble this time!"
