“Song Zhi, I heard that your family hired a university professor to tutor you in foreign languages. Is that true?” A group gathered around Song Zhi’s table, buzzing with curiosity.

“I heard he’s a professor who has studied abroad! Your parents really treat you well!”

“That’s right! With the professor’s guidance, you’re sure to be one of the volunteers this time!”

“Oh, I’m so envious! If only I had such an opportunity!”

A mix of envy and jealousy rippled through the group. Song Zhi, basking in the attention, raised his chin proudly, and his smile never waned.

When Xia Wan and Xia Chen entered the classroom, they found Song Zhi in the center of adoration, wearing a smug expression.

Upon seeing Xia Chen and Xia Wan, Song Zhi immediately stood up and approached them. “Xia Chen, even though the school specifically asked you to participate in the reception event, you should be aware of your own level.” “Your foreign language grades aren’t bad, but as for your spoken English…”

“It’s not your fault,” Song Zhi snorted. “After all, you haven’t had many chances to interact with foreigners.”

“However, if you ask me nicely, maybe I can persuade Professor Zhang to teach you.”

Xia Chen and Xia Wan ignored Song Zhi, walking past him to their seats.

The person next to Song Zhi chimed in, “Xia Chen, you should really thank Song Zhi properly!”

“With your family’s modest clothing store, hiring a university professor for tutoring is out of the question!”

“That’s right! Song Zhi is offering to help because he doesn’t want you to embarrass our class and the school. It wouldn’t reflect well on any of us!”

The room was filled with murmurs, everyone seemingly convinced that Xia Chen’s participation in the reception would be a disaster.

Xia Chen remained silent.

His confidence wavered, unable to muster a defense against their words.

“So what if you’ve invited a university professor to teach you? Do you even understand the level of ability I possess?” Liu Hua couldn’t hold back any longer and interjected.

“That ugly duckling can become a swan because it has the potential!”

“Has anyone ever seen a toad turn into a prince?”

Stung by Liu Hua’s mockery, Song Zhi’s face darkened. “Liu Hua, what are you implying?

“I’m simply stating that some people might squander good resources,” Liu Hua replied, his tone dripping with disdain.

Song Zhi’s face twisted with anger, but then he sneered,

“Jealous of you? For what?” Liu Hua rolled his eyes. “Jealous that you’re trying to show off without the skills to back it up?

“Or that you think you’re better than Xia Chen just because you’ve hired a professor?”

Song Zhi scrutinized Liu Hua. “I didn’t expect you to be so blindly devoted to Xia Chen. ”

Liu Hua, at a loss for words, pursed his lips and remained silent.

Seeing Liu Hua’s reaction, Song Zhi was about to gloat when Xia Wan stepped beside Liu Hua and placed a hand on his shoulder. “This isn’t blind devotion; it’s trust.

“My brother deserves our trust!

“If you believe hiring a professor will transform you, then let’s wait and see the outcome!

“The reception is only two weeks away.

“Good luck securing a volunteer position!”

With that, Xia Wan turned Liu Hua around and guided him to sit down, pressing firmly on his shoulder. They sat down together.

Liu Hua, settling into his seat, didn’t forget to give a soft clap for Xia Wan. “Impressive! Admirable! My idol!”

Song Zhi was left standing, momentarily silenced, as the sound of breathing filled the room.

Those who had been fawning over Song Zhi quietly retreated to their seats, no longer speaking.

Xia Wan’s pointed words had hit home. Regardless of Song Zhi’s potential improvement under the professor’s tutelage, securing a volunteer spot at the foreign guest reception was the immediate hurdle. Without it, all his efforts would be for naught.

Xia Wan glanced back at Xia Chen, who was still staring down at the table. Song Zhi’s remarks had clearly shaken his confidence once again.

For two days, Xia Chen seemed lost in thought.

Xia Hai and Yan Han also sensed that something was amiss but were hesitant to inquire directly. They could only covertly seek insights from Xia Wan..
