In an instant, Rao Jie felt her heart leap, both excited and nervous, as she stared at Wu Rong's face with her big, round deer-like eyes, as if trying to read his emotions from his subtle expressions.
Just when Rao Jie was feeling anxious, Wu Rong suddenly smiled, "Heh, not bad, you've made quite a bit of progress. It seems that even a fool can achieve something with effort. But these few questions you..."
Rao Jie was stunned, not even catching the rest of Wu Rong's words, simply gazing at his smiling profile in a daze. It felt as if countless fireworks had burst in her heart in that moment.
Wu Rong smiled at her, not the frightening kind of smile, but one that was genuinely heartfelt, as Rao Jie noticed the corners of his eyes crinkling with joy.
With that smile, Wu Rong struck Rao Jie’s heart like a shooting star, giving her an instant feeling of redemption. Receiving Wu Rong's praise, his acknowledgment, and his encouraging smile made Rao Jie feel happier than winning a lottery.
As Rao Jie was still in a daze, a chestnut fell down.
“Ow! That hurts!” Rao Jie covered her forehead and looked at Wu Rong pitifully.
Wu Rong narrowed his eyes in displeasure and said, “Do you think my guidance is worth so little? How dare you space out! At your current level, you're only slightly better than before; compared to others, you still have a long way to go!”
The warm-hearted Professor Wu from just moments ago was indeed an illusion; this fierce Wu Rong was his true self!
...
In the evening, when Wu Rong temporarily didn’t need Rao Jie, she habitually came out to prepare desserts for him.
Wu Rong was truly someone who had a sweet tooth; especially when he was particularly busy, perhaps the continuous supply of sweets helped keep his brain functioning!
Anyway, making desserts was also her hobby, so Rao Jie didn’t find it troublesome at all. Moreover, under Wu Rong's various picky demands, her skills were improving more and more.
However, Rao Jie was a bit worried about how busy Wu Rong had been lately; would his health be alright if this continued? When he had just been teaching her earlier, she couldn’t tell if her exercises were too simple for him because several times she caught him looking drowsy.
Sighing while sitting in front of the oven, Rao Jie checked the time on her phone—it was almost midnight.
He even wanted her to brew coffee; did he plan to pull an all-nighter?
Rao Jie sighed inexplicably.
Once the dessert was ready, she tasted it first; it was very sweet, and even the aroma wafting from it carried a sweet scent. Rao Jie was quite satisfied; based on her understanding of Wu Rong's taste, this should be something he liked.
Carrying the tray back to Wu Rong's room, she knew that his university classes had already stopped for the day and guessed he was really pressed for time. So she thought about telling him tonight that they could pause her extra lessons; although it only took up an hour of his time, Rao Jie still felt a bit guilty about it.
Moreover, she recently felt that she had grasped a bit of a trick and could explore and learn on her own, waiting for Wu Rong to guide her when he was not busy.
Rao Jie entered the room, set down her things, and walked towards Wu Rong. "Professor Wu, I..."
Before Rao Jie could finish her sentence, she noticed something was off with Wu Rong. When she first entered, Wu Rong was leaning on the desk, and Rao Jie thought he was writing something. However, as she got closer, she realized he had fallen asleep.
Rao Jie blinked, feeling a bit hesitant, but still approached and called out to him a couple of times. However, Wu Rong was sound asleep and could not be awakened no matter how hard she tried.
