"I didn't go to West Lake Park on the night of the 20th!" Yan Jien denied.
"What about the night of the 22nd?" Li Yanqiu pressed.
"I didn't go then either!" Yan Jien denied again.
"You're not lying to me, are you?" Li Yanqiu asked suspiciously.
"What benefit would I get from lying to you?" Yan Jien retorted.
"Well..." Li Yanqiu was left speechless.
"Where do you live?" Yan Jien inquired.
"Dongxin Road, Huxin Garden!" Li Yanqiu replied.
"Then let's take a taxi; I'll take you home!" Yan Jien suggested.
"Okay," Li Yanqiu agreed.
Soon, the two hailed a taxi, with Yan Jien sitting in the front passenger seat and Li Yanqiu in the back.
"Has there been another incident of a pet going missing at your home?" Yan Jien casually asked.
"No!" Li Yanqiu shook her head.
"Oh." Yan Jien fell silent.
Li Yanqiu looked at Yan Jien's back, her gaze flickering, unsure of what she was thinking.
Meanwhile, at Heartfelt Decoration Company, Tong Liya organized the drawings and prepared to send a WeChat message to Yan Jien with good news. However, she noticed Hu Pei'er and Deng Kaiwen chatting at the office door.
"Teacher Deng, thank you for introducing Strict Teacher to Yan Qiu!" Hu Pei'er expressed her gratitude.
"No need to thank me; I just thought they were a good match!" Deng Kaiwen smiled.
"I hope they can make it work!" Hu Pei'er said hopefully.
"It should be fine. I just saw Xiaoyan staring at Yan Qiu at the dinner table; he clearly has feelings for her!" Deng Kaiwen asserted confidently.
"That's great!" Hu Pei'er felt relieved.
"Teacher Wu, it's getting late; I'm leaving now!" Deng Kaiwen glanced at his watch.
"Goodbye!" Hu Pei'er waved.
"Goodbye!" Deng Kaiwen turned and left.
Hu Pei'er walked into the office, preparing to pack up and go home, but she saw Tong Liya standing there in a daze, looking blank.
"Liya, what's wrong with you?" Hu Pei'er asked curiously.
"I... I'm fine!" Tong Liya snapped back to reality and quickly shook her head.
"You look unwell. Are you feeling okay?" Hu Pei'er expressed concern.
"I'm fine, really!" Tong Liya forced a smile.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Hu Pei'er frowned.
"I'm really fine!" Tong Liya confirmed firmly.
"Alright then, I'm leaving!" Hu Pei'er decided not to press further.
"Goodbye, Teacher Wu!" Tong Liya waved as Hu Pei'er left.
After Hu Pei'er walked away, Tong Liya stood still in place, her heart in turmoil.
" teacher Deng just said that Strict Teacher and Yan Qiu are on a blind date?" Tong Liya couldn't believe it.
"How is that possible? Strict Teacher clearly promised to go to the amusement park with me!" Tong Liya's eyes widened.
"Did Strict Teacher lie to me?" Tong Liya was in pain.
"Why? Why would Strict Teacher do this to me?" Tong Liya was sad.
Thinking of this, Tong Liya lost control of her emotions and stepped toward the office door, but accidentally missed her step and fell to the ground!
Bang—
A dull sound echoed.
"Ah!" Tong Liya screamed.
It turned out that Tong Liya had accidentally fallen into the office's feng shui pond!
Her knee was injured, and her phone flew out!
"Liya!" Hu Pei'er, who had just reached the company entrance, heard the commotion and hurried back.
"Liya, are you okay?" Hu Pei'er pulled Tong Liya out of the pond, anxiously asking.
"I'm fine!" Tong Liya gritted her teeth.
"You’re hurt?" Hu Pei'er noticed Tong Liya's bleeding knee and immediately panicked.
"I'll take you to the hospital!" Hu Pei'er supported Tong Liya.
"I really am fine; I don't need to go to the hospital!" Tong Liya refused.
"You’re bleeding; you must go to the hospital for treatment!" Hu Pei'er insisted.
"Teacher Wu, I'm really fine; I don't want to go to the hospital!" Tong Liya pouted.
"This..." Hu Pei'er hesitated.
"Teacher Wu, I'm begging you!" Tong Liya pleaded.
"Then... when you get home, remember to apply some medicine!" Hu Pei'er instructed.
"Okay, I got it!" Tong Liya nodded.
"I'll take you home!" Hu Pei'er said.
"No need; I'll go back by myself!" Tong Liya shook her head.
"Alright then, just be careful!" Hu Pei'er said helplessly.
"Mm, goodbye, Teacher Wu!" Tong Liya forced a smile.
"Goodbye!" Hu Pei'er left.
After Hu Pei'er left, Tong Liya picked up her phone and limped out of the company.
As soon as she stepped out of the company, her phone rang.
It was a WeChat call from Ma Yun.
"Hello," Tong Liya answered.
"Liya, where are you?" Ma Yun asked.
"I'm downstairs at the company," Tong Liya replied.
"Why does your voice sound off?" Ma Yun noticed sharply.
"I... I fell down!" Tong Liya lied.
"How did you fall? Is it serious?" Ma Yun asked with concern.
"It's not serious, just a scrape on my knee!" Tong Liya replied.
"Then hurry home and remember to apply some medicine!" Ma Yun urged.
"Yeah, I know!" Tong Liya nodded.
"By the way, did you see teacher Deng just now?" Ma Yun changed the topic.
"I did!" Tong Liya answered.
"What did he say to you?" Ma Yun asked curiously.
"He... he said Strict Teacher and Li Yanqiu went on a date!" Tong Liya said, feeling down.
"What? They really went on a date?" Ma Yun was shocked.
"Yeah!" Tong Liya nodded.
"What are you planning to do about it?" Ma Yun inquired.
"I don't know!" Tong Liya replied, confused.
"I think you should break up with Yan Jien!" Ma Yun suggested.
"I... I want to hear Strict Teacher's explanation!" Tong Liya hesitated.
"You still want to hear his explanation? He went behind your back and dated another woman!" Ma Yun was agitated.
"I..." Tong Liya was at a loss for words.
"Liya, listen to my advice, don't trust Yan Jien anymore!" Ma Yun urged.
"I... I want to be alone for a while!" Tong Liya said, feeling restless.
"Alright, then I'll hang up first. Call me if you need anything!" Ma Yun said helplessly.
"Okay, goodbye!" Tong Liya hung up the phone.
"Sigh!" Tong Liya sighed and walked towards the bus station.
After taking a couple of steps, Ma Yun sent her a video!
The video showed Yan Jien and Li Yanqiu walking together on the street and then getting into a taxi!
Seeing this, Tong Liya completely believed Deng Kaiwen's words, and tears instantly streamed down her face!
"Strict Teacher, why did you do this to me?" Tong Liya cried out in heartbreak.
