Chapter 243: Reporting Su Zhaozhao

Over the next few days, Su Zhaozhao secretly moved things out of her space while also practicing her English.

She would also often go out with Li Tiantian.

Occasionally, she would run into Gu Qingran, who would stare at her coldly.

Whenever this happened, Su Zhaozhao would feel quite disappointed.

’Was this really the female lead she had admired? How could her personality change so drastically just because the plot was different?’

’So, are female leads only the main characters because they get to reap all the benefits?’

Su Zhaozhao didn’t quite understand. But she felt that Xie Huaizhen seemed relatively normal. ’And precisely because he’s so normal, he probably won’t fall for Gu Qingran like he did in the novel, right?’

After all, in the novel, the male lead was drawn to Gu Qingran because of her intelligent and kind personality.

But the current Gu Qingran wasn’t kind at all.

Seeing Gu Qingran’s sour face, Li Tiantian, who wasn’t one to hold back, would roll her eyes or make faces right back at her, which infuriated Gu Qingran.

’But she couldn’t do anything about Li Tiantian. The girl was the daughter of a high-ranking officer and had too much pull. As for Su Zhaozhao, though... she shouldn’t get so smug. I have plenty of ways to deal with her!’

’Maybe I’ll just write a report letter. What Su Zhaozhao’s doing could be considered improper relations, to some degree.’

’She just broke off her engagement with Xie Huaizhen, and now she’s with Xie Huaizheng. She even picked two guys with such similar names. It sounds so messy.’

’Besides, I know she’s about to become a teacher at the base elementary school. Becoming a teacher requires passing rigorous evaluations!’

’Even someone at my level can’t become a teacher at the base elementary school, so on what grounds can Su Zhaozhao?’

’And Su Zhaozhao’s parents are in prison. Perfect, I’ll put all of that in the letter. A person like that, with no education, no backing, and sleeping around... Su Zhaozhao is the one who should be in prison.’

Gu Qingran immediately returned to the guest house to write the report letter.

Anyway, the big shot didn’t like her. The harder she tried, the more he would just despise her.

She had no choice but to give up this time.

And she would be leaving soon. Before she went, she couldn’t let Su Zhaozhao get off easy.

’She must have been reborn, too, right?’

’If Su Zhaozhao was reborn and could live such a comfortable life, why couldn’t she?’

At that moment, her jealousy quietly began to surface, and it felt as if everything had soured.

Her plans were in disarray—completely ruined. And so, she wouldn’t let Su Zhaozhao off the hook.

Su Zhaozhao knew nothing of this. She continued to slowly follow her own plan.

She also made sure to visit Li Weichuan at the Li family home every day at a set time to provide him with psychological counseling.

Li Weichuan was much more cheerful now than before.

When he saw Su Zhaozhao, he would smile at her, his eyes sparkling with an innocent and lovely light. "Sister Zhaozhao, the practice problems you found are amazing. The more I do them, the more interesting I find them. Thank you so much."

Hearing Li Weichuan suddenly say so much all at once, Su Zhaozhao couldn’t help but smile. "You’re welcome. If you need more, I can look for more for you."

"Okay. Sorry to trouble you." Li Weichuan grew even happier upon hearing her words.

’Sure enough, starting with something he was interested in made things much easier.’

From the beginning, when he would just silently watch them get bullied without saying a word, to now, where his eyes were focused and full of spirit. When he looked at her, they shone with a brighter light than before.

She had watched him transform from a boy who had lost hope in life and refused to communicate with anyone into the person he was today.

He still wasn’t very talkative, but the fact that he was able to say so much at once deeply moved Su Zhaozhao.

’Slowly but surely, things would get better.’

"So, how have you been feeling lately? I see you’re talking a little more than before."

"Am I?" Hearing Su Zhaozhao’s words, Li Weichuan’s expression once again became shy.

"You told me before that I should try to talk more."

"Oh, don’t be nervous," Su Zhaozhao said softly. Her comment seemed to have startled him.

He was like a little turtle, ready to pull his head back into his shell at the slightest disturbance.

"I think you’re doing great! It’s really wonderful. You’re a boy who truly keeps his promises!" Su Zhaozhao heaped praise on Li Weichuan, even giving him a thumbs-up.

Li Weichuan had thought Su Zhaozhao was going to start giving him pointers on how to speak or teaching him how to express himself.

But he hated that stuff most of all; it wasn’t like he didn’t know how to talk. The previous psychologists had all guided him like that, acting like teachers, trying to instruct him on the very basics of verbal expression.

But this time, Su Zhaozhao said none of those things, only offering praise.

He froze, staring at the girl before him. Her eyes curved when she smiled, making her look like a charming, delicate rose.

’She’s so beautiful it’s unreal.’

"Th-There’s nothing to praise... You found such great workbooks for me. I’m just thanking you and doing as you asked. It wasn’t anything difficult."

His eyes darted about, not daring to rest on Su Zhaozhao.

Su Zhaozhao, however, couldn’t help but laugh. ’So this is the power of habit.’

’Li Weichuan can say so much at once now. This is great!’

’And my timely compliments will probably encourage him, right?’

She much preferred this kind of subtle guidance over blunt critiques.

True psychological counseling was a gentle, imperceptible influence. In the course of conversation, it should make the other person feel pleasant in both mind and body, allowing them to step out from their shadows.

In the past, she had focused more on criminal psychology and analysis, doing relatively little counseling for patients. However, she had still developed her own methodology.

"No, Wei Chuan, I know this must be very difficult for you. It must have taken a lot of courage to even start, right? So you truly deserve praise."

As Su Zhaozhao spoke, she took out a book and handed it to Li Weichuan.

"This is a book of physics problems. You can try doing them if you get bored."

Seeing Su Zhaozhao pull out one workbook after another, Li Weichuan’s eyes shone as bright and scorching as the sun.

His previous shyness vanished. He nodded at Su Zhaozhao. "Sister Zhaozhao, don’t you worry. I’ll definitely do my best on these!"

He had no idea where Su Zhaozhao kept getting these workbooks; they were all completely new types of problems that he had never seen before.

Furthermore, the answer keys inside were incredibly detailed, and the analytical explanations always made his eyes light up with understanding.

"Keep up the good work!" Su Zhaozhao patted his shoulder, then turned to leave.

However, just as she stepped out, Li Tiantian called to her, "Zhaozhao! Come to my room! I have something for you!"

Curious, Su Zhaozhao followed Li Tiantian to her room.

"What is it?"

"You’ll see when you get there." Li Tiantian kept smiling mysteriously.

This was Su Zhaozhao’s first time in Li Tiantian’s room. It didn’t look much like a typical girl’s room.

It was piled high with all sorts of books on every imaginable subject.

There were also some model airplanes and tanks, and the overall color scheme was in shades of blue and gray.

But it suited Li Tiantian perfectly.
