Chapter 361: Not Brainless
Most of the questions were from Zhang Lan, and Tian Tian responded absent-mindedly.
Zhang Lan was asking some inconsequential questions, like how many classes Tian Tian attended daily, or how she felt about other lessons.
"Is Miss Gu at home every day?"
Hearing this question, Tian Tian was slightly taken aback, then smiled and shook her head.
"No, I’m planning to go out today."
Zhang Lan nodded with a smile, unable to resist teasing Tian Tian.
"I thought Miss Gu stayed home every day."
Tian Tian raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhang Lan with confusion.
"Why do you say that?"
Zhang Lan stared closely at Tian Tian, admiring and envying the almost pinchable white and tender skin.
"Miss Gu’s skin looks great and very fair. I thought it was nurtured by staying indoors, but it turns out to be natural. It’s truly enviable!"
Women’s topics often revolve around maintenance and care.
Switching to this topic, Zhang Lan apparently wanted to get closer to Tian Tian and have a good chat, to subtly gather some information she wanted to know.
Tian Tian chuckled softly and lazily spoke.
"Mr. Zhang, your skin looks great too. Envy isn’t necessary."
Zhang Lan didn’t expect Tian Tian to respond this way, but being shrewd and worldly, she quickly brought the conversation back around.
"That’s true... However, seeing that Miss Gu has already graduated from college but has a baby face like a high schooler, while my face... looks much more mature!"
Listening to Zhang Lan, Tian Tian quietly thought to herself that sometimes having a baby face comes with its inconveniences.
For instance, when she went to ******, many worried that she was underage and refused her, even doubting her ID.
That feeling...
How can I say it, damn... it’s frustrating.
"As they say, ’knowledge has its precedence, and every field has its expert.’ Similarly, in terms of everyone’s appearance, it’s the same principle, Mr. Zhang, don’t you think?"
Zhang Lan, once again taken aback by Tian Tian’s words, didn’t expect Tian Tian to be so calm and steady, lacking the impatience and recklessness typical of her age group.
She originally said those things to try and flatter Tian Tian, to understand her temperament better and build a closer relationship.
But after this conversation, Zhang Lan found Tian Tian to be adorably naive and charming, easy to talk to in appearance.
But she wasn’t someone without brains; on the contrary, she had her own opinions.
Realizing this point, Zhang Lan smiled and nodded in agreement with Tian Tian’s words.
"Miss Gu is right, I overthought it."
Knowing that Tian Tian was quite assertive, Zhang Lan, in future conversations, would no longer be casual, but rather prepare in advance, thinking about how Tian Tian would respond and how to counter it.
Initially, she had underestimated Tian Tian, thinking her to be in her early twenties, more inclined towards fun and frivolity.
Facing such a Tian Tian, her previous plan could not be carried on as usual.
Moreover, seeing that Tian Tian was genuinely studious, quite different from the rich kids she had encountered before, a different approach was necessary.
As the tutoring time approached, Zhang Lan immediately shifted her focus to the tutoring.
"Miss Gu, it seems the time is about right. Shall we go to the study and start learning now?"
Tian Tian saw that the time was indeed almost right, smiled at Zhang Lan, and went into the study with her.
