The girl with almond-shaped eyes chatted aimlessly with Wang Ge for a while. Seeing that Chen Yanxi was finally free, she unceremoniously abandoned Wang Ge, shouting, "Yanzi, save me~," and went to ask Chen Yanxi to teach her advanced calculus.
Wang Ge wasn't idle either. After the girl with almond-shaped eyes left, other girls, sweetly calling him "gege," came over to ask him questions.
While tutoring the girls, Wang Ge also curiously asked them why no boys came to the 'study group.'
The girls replied that this cat cafe's main audience was girls. There were boys initially, but only one or two. They couldn't integrate with the girls, perhaps feeling excluded, so they stopped coming.
Thus, Chen Yanxi's small class slowly became filled with young and energetic girls.
Wang Ge glanced at the men outside the 'study group' who were normally drinking coffee and petting cats in the cafe, and he understood.
The girls were attracted by Chen Yanxi and the free 'study group.' As for these men, they were probably attracted by the girls, right?
Even without chatting or interacting, just looking at these vibrant girls would make one feel genuinely relaxed and happy.
Combined with the cute cats and the soothing music, it was easy to feel from the bottom of one's heart that this cat cafe was a great place to relax.
The owner of this cat cafe was quite thoughtful.
... But it all seemed to rely entirely on Chen Yanxi, right?
The day Chen Yanxi quit, the current thriving situation would completely disappear.
It was all being propped up by Chen Yanxi alone.
During lunch, Wang Ge pulled Chen Yanxi aside and secretly asked her about her salary and benefits.
If Chen Yanxi's treatment was the same as a regular waitress supervisor, or only slightly higher, Wang Ge would definitely go talk to the cat cafe owner.
Well, if that didn't work, buying the cat cafe outright would be a good option.
Thinking of this option, Wang Ge felt a little excited.
He hadn't squandered his fortune since he was young.
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid."
Hearing his question, Chen Yanxi pursed her lips and said, "The boss is nice. Besides paying me double the salary of a normal supervisor, she also gave me a ten percent share."
Surprisingly, a conscientious boss?
Wang Ge felt a little regretful that he couldn't stand up for Chen Yanxi, but he said, "Only ten percent? With your talent, I think you should get at least fifty percent."
Chen Yanxi shook her head. "I only come here twice a week. Ten percent is already very generous."
"The boss wants to tie you down with this ten percent share," Wang Ge said with insight, chuckling softly. "Her vision is too small. If I were the owner, I'd give you at least thirty percent."
"It's actually fine," Chen Yanxi pursed her lips. "The boss said that after I graduate, if I'm still willing to work here, she'll give me another thirty percent."
"I see. That's good. That's the vision of a big boss," Wang Ge praised, then asked, "What are your plans?"
Chen Yanxi thought for a moment. "I most likely won't stay in Changchuan."
"Where do you want to go? I'll go with you."
"I haven't decided yet."
"Alright, let me know when you've decided."
"Okay."
Chen Yanxi nodded in agreement.
Wang Ge didn't doubt her at all.
Habitual trust.
Thus, Wang Ge worked as a part-time tutor for 'Yanxi's Little Classroom' for the entire day.
It was quite enjoyable.
No, it was truly enjoyable.
However, despite being called "gege" by everyone, he still upheld his male virtues and never overstepped.
He firmly refused all the girls who wanted to add his contact information.
His motto was devotion and loyalty.
When he rode his bicycle home with Chen Yanxi in the afternoon, he even told her about it, as if seeking praise.
Chen Yanxi ignored him.
Chen Yanxi cooked dinner again, simple home-style dishes that were delicious in color, aroma, and taste. Wang Ge ate very satisfactorily.
The night passed without incident.
The next day, Wang Ge naturally rode his bicycle to school with Chen Yanxi.
As they entered the school gate, he deliberately observed his surroundings. After confirming that Gu Panyan was nowhere in sight, he quickly ushered Chen Yanxi inside.
Heaven knows how much he feared running into Gu Panyan at that moment.
Only after parting ways with Chen Yanxi completely did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Another narrow escape, another day survived.
Arriving at the classroom, he found Gu Panyan already there, currently hunched over her desk working on problems.
"Hi, Panyan, long time no see, I've missed you dearly."
Wang Ge greeted her with a bright smile, showing no trace of his recent guilt or fear.
Gu Panyan gave a perfunctory "Mm," twirling her pen and continuing to pore over the problems with a frown.
"Which problem are you stuck on? I can teach you," Wang Ge offered enthusiastically.
"No, I'll do it myself."
Gu Panyan furrowed her brows. "I think I can solve it..."
"Keep at it."
The monotonous grind of senior year resumed.
With less than a month left until the college entrance examination, everyone was competing even more fiercely.
Many students didn't leave after evening study hall, choosing to remain in the classroom to study.
Despite the homeroom teacher Jiang Xiyu's repeated emphasis on taking care of their health, as time slowly ticked by and the college entrance exam drew nearer, several more pairs of panda eyes appeared in Wang Ge's class.
Gu Panyan wasn't like that, but her mental state wasn't great either. She looked slightly haggard; dedicating oneself entirely to studying was truly exhausting.
Wang Ge felt a pang of sympathy but could do nothing.
At this stage, even with his cheat, he couldn't help Gu Panyan much.
As for himself, since Gu Panyan was in her final sprint for the college entrance exam, Wang Ge didn't want to disturb her. Thus, his life devolved into something akin to a pig's: eating when full, sleeping when full.
Occasionally, when the mood struck him, he'd pester Panyan, only to be scolded or hit, which he seemed to enjoy.
He'd go find Chen Yanxi during evening study hall to chat, and his mental state was excellent.
It's worth mentioning that Chen Yanxi had borrowed his copy of The Wealth of Nations and several other famous economics books from home. Chen Yanxi had been reading these books during evening study hall these past few days.
"Are you interested in these?"
Wang Ge asked her curiously.
"Not particularly,"
Chen Yanxi shook her head and said, "It's just that I've read all the books in the library, so reading them again doesn't hold much meaning."
She gestured to The Wealth of Nations in her hand. "It's better to read something new and learn unfamiliar knowledge. Perhaps it'll be useful someday."
Wang Ge let out a hiss. "You're already so capable, and you're still working this hard. It makes me look like I'm not focusing on what I should be doing."
He sighed. "This morning, I was scolded by the teacher for sleeping in class."
"Didn't your teacher stop caring if you slept ages ago?" Chen Yanxi asked, confused.
Wang Ge covered his face in shame. "Because I was snoring and disturbing other students..."
Chen Yanxi: "..."
