Chapter 659: A Lifetime, Cook for Me

After Chu Yuwei finished speaking, her gaze locked tightly on Lin Yuan, her eyes full of expectation and apprehension.

She waited for Lin Yuan's response.

She was convinced that her resolute declaration would surely sway Lin Yuan and win her a spot in the competition.

But Lin Yuan didn't make her wait; he slowly shook his head.

Lin Yuan spoke calmly and rejected her proposal on the spot:

"Sorry, Chu Yuwei, you're not suitable. Fudan University is a top-tier school; there you can get better development, it's more fitting for you to continue your studies there. You don't need to give up your future for this competition or to study Chinese medicine with me."

Chu Yuwei's face changed slightly at once upon hearing that.

Chu Yuwei's eyes were filled with disappointment and embarrassment, and her cheeks turned a faint pallor.

Her lips pressed slightly, and she couldn't utter a word for a long while.

Chu Yuwei never imagined that she would lower herself and willingly give up her prestigious school enrollment.

What she got in return was Lin Yuan's straightforward refusal.

That embarrassment and loss instantly overwhelmed her.

Lin Yuan watched Chu Yuwei's dejected appearance, and a faint guilt rose in his heart.

However, Lin Yuan did not waver.

Lin Yuan slowly raised his head, glanced around the classroom, his gaze sweeping over all the students below.

Lin Yuan let out a soft sigh.

He carefully examined each face,

Lin Yuan knew clearly that the other students present either had weak foundations in Chinese medicine or lacked the talent and stamina needed for the competition.

No one truly met the competition requirements.

In fact, Lin Yuan had already made up his mind.

Among all the students, You Nianchu had the highest talent in Chinese medicine and the strongest comprehension.

Even though her major was not Chinese medicine.

Yet You Nianchu, during this period of listening to lectures, displayed talent far beyond her peers.

If given guidance, she would absolutely be the best candidate for the National Medical Competition.

But Lin Yuan harbored a hint of hesitation; he knew You Nianchu's thoughts too well—she likely wanted to join the competition mainly to spend more time by his side.

rather than out of genuine love for the medical contest.

Lin Yuan did not want the complication of their relationship from the competition, nor did he want to give her false hope.

Thus, Lin Yuan delayed choosing You Nianchu.

Looking at the silent students below, at the dejected Chu Yuwei and the unwilling You Nianchu full of resentment.

Lin Yuan suppressed his inner turmoil, his tone softened a bit: "Alright, I'll consider this again. Everyone focus on class for now; I'll inform you immediately once there's a result."

Having said that, he gathered his thoughts, picked up the lecture notes again, and continued teaching.

Only, Lin Yuan's brows bore a lingering hesitation that wouldn't go away.

This lesson, Lin Yuan taught somewhat absent-mindedly.

He remained preoccupied with the matter of selecting a competitor.

Chu Yuwei stayed silent the whole time, her sense of loss never fading.

You Nianchu from time to time glanced at Lin Yuan, her eyes full of eagerness and anticipation; she wanted to speak again but feared his refusal, so she could only endure silently.

Finally, the dismissal bell rang.

Lin Yuan felt relieved, hastily packed up his lecture notes, then turned and walked out of the classroom.

He just wanted to escape the classroom quickly to sort out his thoughts.

But Lin Yuan had taken only a few steps out of the classroom when hurried footsteps sounded behind him.

You Nianchu quickened her pace to catch up and lightly grabbed his arm.

You Nianchu's tone carried a hint of urgency: "Teacher Lin, wait!"

Lin Yuan stopped, turned around, and looked at the eager You Nianchu before him.

A flicker of helplessness crossed Lin Yuan's eyes as he softly asked, "What's wrong?"

You Nianchu took a deep breath, lifted her head, and gazed at him resolutely.

You Nianchu's tone was utterly sincere: "Teacher Lin, I know you don't want to pick me, but I truly want to represent the school in the National Medical Competition."

"I'm not acting on a whim, nor am I doing this just to get close to you. I will work hard to improve myself, I won't embarrass you or the school; please give me a chance to compete!"

Lin Yuan looked at the spirit in You Nianchu's eyes.

He also recalled Luo Renhai's urgent urging.

And he thought again that the registration for the National Medical Competition was imminent.

Right now, there truly was no one more suitable than You Nianchu.

Her talent lay there.

With guidance, she might well achieve good results.

Lin Yuan's inner turmoil and hesitation gradually faded.

Lin Yuan, helpless, let out a soft sigh and nodded slowly: "Alright, I choose to let you represent the school's Chinese medicine major in this National Medical Competition."

Upon hearing those words, You Nianchu's eyes lit up instantly!

You Nianchu could no longer contain her excitement; before Lin Yuan could react, she lunged into his embrace, tightly hugging his waist.

You Nianchu's voice was soft and sweet, cheerful, with a touch of excitement: "Great! Thank you, Teacher Lin! I will surely not disappoint you!"

Lin Yuan was completely dumbfounded, standing frozen in place.

He never expected You Nianchu to act this way.

Lin Yuan's nose tip……was instantly surrounded by a sweet perfume scent, light and pleasant, mixed with the faint bodily fragrance naturally exuding from You Nianchu.

That scent, so pleasant it made one somewhat dazed.

Immediately afterward, Lin Yuan felt……a soft touch coming from his embrace.

You Nianchu's delicate body was soft and boneless, pressing tightly against him; the extremely soft sensation from her chest also came through clearly.

This made Lin Yuan's whole body instantly stiffen, his cheeks slightly heating up.

After Lin Yuan reacted, he quickly reached out and gently pushed You Nianchu……

Lin Yuan's tone carried a hint of barely noticeable panic, plus a trace of sternness: 'Don't do this; we're at school, people come and go, mind the impact.'

Lin Yuan, while speaking, unconsciously avoided You Nianchu's gaze, hiding his embarrassment.

But deep down, Lin Yuan……still retained the recent touch and that pleasant fragrance, unable to calm for a long time.

You Nianchu, pushed away by Lin Yuan, flashed a hint of small disappointment on her face.

However, You Nianchu quickly replaced it with delight, she stuck out her tongue, her eyes full of charm.

You Nianchu obediently nodded: 'Got it, Lin Laoshi, I'll pay attention from now on. Rest assured, I will prepare well for the competition and definitely not embarrass you or the school!'

Lin Yuan looked at her obedient appearance and lightly nodded.

Lin Yuan's tone also softened a bit, his expression turning serious.

'Since you represent our school in the National Medical Competition, I must give you enhanced tutoring.'

He paused, then added: 'Although your talent in traditional Chinese medicine is high, your foundation isn't solid enough; I must give you extra TCM tutoring, otherwise, with your current level, you simply can't keep up with the competition's pace and will find it hard to achieve good results.'

Having said that, Lin Yuan pondered a moment, then slowly spoke.

Lin Yuan settled on a tutoring plan:

'So, I plan to, besides regular weekend classes, give you extra tutoring every night, starting from basic knowledge points, gradually helping you consolidate and improve, until you can skillfully handle all question types and assessment requirements of the competition.'

Lin Yuan knew clearly that the National Medical Competition gathers many experts.

You Nianchu, although talented, would hardly stand out without systematic enhanced tutoring.

Since he chose her, he must be responsible to her and to the school.

Upon hearing this, You Nianchu's beautiful eyes instantly widened, the delight in her depths growing stronger.

In her originally bright beautiful eyes……sparkled with glittering light.

You Nianchu quickly blinked her long lashes, her voice soft and eager, nodding repeatedly:

'Yes yes! Thank you, Lin Laoshi! I will surely cooperate well with you, coming punctually every night, listening attentively to your tutoring, absolutely no slacking!'

While she answered obediently on the surface, her heart had already blossomed with joy——

Being able to be alone with Lin Laoshi every night—isn't that exactly what she wanted?

The so-called 'preparing well for the competition' is merely her excuse to get close to Lin Yuan~

Now that her goal is achieved, how could she not be happy.

Thus, they then and there agreed on the arrangement for nightly tutoring.

Lin Yuan reminded her to rest well and first organize the TCM knowledge points she had studied before.

You Nianchu also obediently agreed.

Afterward, Lin Yuan turned and left.

Before leaving, he repeatedly reminded You Nianchu to take the tutoring seriously and not be lax.

Watching Lin Yuan's gradually receding back……

The obedience and charm on You Nianchu's face……gradually faded.

On her face, it was replaced by a sly, self-satisfied curve.

You Nianchu slightly tilted her head, the corner of her mouth lifting with a calculating smile.

She raised her hand, lightly brushed the stray hair beside her ear, lowered her voice, her tone full of certainty and amusement.

She murmured: 'Hmph, Lin Laoshi, this time I see how you'll escape my grasp~'

'From now on, you must tutor me every night; I'll get to see you daily—near water, the tower gets the moon first—I don't believe I can't win you over.'

You Nianchu's eyes……%flashed a hint of sly light.

Her tone carried a sense of inevitability as she murmured: 'Lin Laoshi, just obediently become my male slave, my licking dog~'

Saying this, You Nianchu couldn't help but let out a light laugh, her eyes full of indulgence and anticipation……

Once I have you firmly in my grasp, I'll put you to ride under my pomegranate skirt, properly train you, hehe~

Sunlight fell on her face, clearly a lovely and sweet appearance……

But at this moment, You Nianchu's eyes hid a wealth of scheming and possessiveness……

No one knows that this seemingly obedient school belle has already plotted everything in her heart, solely to firmly control Lin Yuan in her hands.

……

After the day's classes ended, Lin Yuan gathered his lecture notes and hastily prepared to leave school and go home.

Lin Yuan had just reached the school parking lot when he saw a familiar figure standing beside his Tesla.

That slender figure, waiting obediently for him—was You Nianchu.

She had changed into a casual white dress, shedding the classroom's playful vigor and gaining a touch of gentleness.

Seeing Lin Yuan approach, You Nianchu immediately broke into a sweet smile and hurried forward to meet him.

'Lin Laoshi, you're off work!' You Nianchu said in a soft voice, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Yuan.

'As we agreed, tutoring starts tonight.'

Lin Yuan looked at her expectant face and recalled their agreement.

Lin Yuan helplessly shook his head, pointed to his Tesla beside him: 'Let's go, let's study at my place—home is quiet and convenient for tutoring.'

Upon hearing this, You Nianchu's eyes instantly lit up, her face full of delight.

She hurriedly nodded vigorously: "Yes yes! Thank you, Lin Laoshi!"

As she spoke, she obediently opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly and got into the driver's seat.

Lin Yuan started the car, carrying You Nianchu as he drove toward his home.

The car interior was very quiet, only gentle music flowing.

You Nianchu tilted her head, looking at the scenery flashing past outside the window, the corners of her mouth always holding a sweet smile, her eyes full of anticipation she could not hide.

This was her first time going to Lin Yuan's home for tutoring.

Although she had already been to Lin Yuan's home many times.

But from now on, she would be able to go there every evening.

Using tutoring as an excuse.

So, You Nianchu's pretty face became even more delighted.

She was one step closer to her goal.

Not long after, the car arrived downstairs at Lin Yuan's building.

Lin Yuan parked the car, took You Nianchu into the elevator, went upstairs and opened the door.

You Nianchu took off her sports shoes, revealing her pair of pink little socks.

Her feet were sexy and cute, like a work of art.

Lin Yuan gestured for her to sit casually, just about to get the materials for Chinese medicine tutoring.

You Nianchu suddenly covered her stomach, furrowed her brows, her tone carrying a hint of grievance:

"Lin Laoshi, I'm hungry, let's have dinner first; we need to be full to have energy for tutoring."

Lin Yuan looked at her pitiful appearance, and also remembered that she had come for tutoring, so he couldn't let her go hungry.

Lin Yuan's helplessness from deep inside welled up again.

Lin Yuan could only wave his hand: "Alright, you sit and wait a moment, I'll go make you food."

Saying that, Lin Yuan turned and walked into the kitchen.

Lin Yuan tied on an apron and began to busy himself.

You Nianchu watched Lin Yuan's busy back, the corner of her mouth lifting a sly smile.

She quietly walked to the kitchen doorway, leaned against the door frame, and silently watched him…

You Nianchu's eyes… were full of joy and anticipation.

Not long after, a few simple yet exquisite home-cooked dishes were brought to the table.

The aroma filled the air, instantly filling the whole house.

You Nianchu couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks, took a bite of vegetables and put it in her mouth; her eyes instantly widened round, her face full of surprise.

She hurriedly said to Lin Yuan: "Lin Laoshi, your cooking is really delicious! Even better than my family's chef!"

Lin Yuan looked at her wolfing down her food, helplessly rolled his eyes.

Lin Yuan's tone carried a bit of complaining: "I really owe you from my past life; I have to teach you, tutor you, and cook for you—I've basically become your exclusive maid."

You Nianchu, hearing that, lifted her head, put down her chopsticks, looked seriously at Lin Yuan, the corner of her mouth bearing a sweet smile.

You Nianchu's tone was soft and sweet yet with a hint of determination: "Then Lin Laoshi, you will cook for me for a lifetime; that way I can eat this delicious food every day and also study with you every day—how wonderful."

When her words fell, the atmosphere inside the room instantly became ambiguous.

The air seemed to solidify, leaving only the faint breathing of the two.

Lin Yuan stared blankly for a moment.

Before Lin Yuan could react, You Nianchu slowly leaned in, quietly moving closer to him…

The distance between them instantly shortened…

So close that Lin Yuan could clearly see her long eyelashes and feel her warm breath.

Lin Yuan's nose tip… once again entwined with her sweet fragrance.

You Nianchu blinked her cute and lively beautiful eyes, her gaze locked tightly onto Lin Yuan's eyes…

Her tone soft and sweet… also carrying a bit of cautious probing, she whispered: "Lin Laoshi, are you willing? To cook for me for a lifetime…"
