Sun Mo didn't like crowds. Hence, he would wake up earlier and head to the canteen to have breakfast before the peak period.

"I'll get some steamed dumplings and one porridge for takeaway. I don't want the salted veggies."

Sun Mo calculated the money he had in his pocket. Although it wasn't healthy to eat meat in the morning, the steamed dumplings at the canteen were extremely delicious.

After moving out of the dorm building, he went onto a path leading to the sports field. He could see many intern teachers finishing their morning practice, and they were currently on their way back.

Due to the competitive nature of their current situation, it seemed as though there were no mutual greetings among them. Their gazes were filled with disregard for each other.

"Teacher Sun!"

Sun Mo heard someone addressing him with an honorific, and he couldn't help but feel astonished. When he glanced toward the voice, he saw a young girl with exquisite features standing below a maple tree at the side.

"Oh, it's you?"

Sun Mo felt a little surprised. The young girl wore men's clothes that were tailored fit for her. However, her fair skin, her gentle-looking exquisite features, her slender figure...Everyone could tell that she was a girl with just a glance.

This girl was none other than Li Ziqi, the person who had wanted to save him but ended up almost drowning herself. The system had also issued a mission, wanting Sun Mo to accept her as his student.

"Teacher Sun!"

Li Ziqi smiled sweetly. Her eyes, where the shades of white and black were clearly distinct, immediately curved into shapes of the crescent moon. However, just as she jogged over, her feet tripped on a flagstone after a few steps.

Pak!

Li Ziqi was like a frying pan as she fell and slammed into the limestone slab.

"Are you alright?"

Sun Mo was badly frightened. He hurried over to help her up, but he soon stopped. Li Ziqi had directly covered her head with her arms and curled into a ball.

"Boohoo, I lost face again. Why am I so stupid?"

Li Ziqi really wanted to find a hole and hide in it.

"Because of your kindness, this ant can continue to admire the scenery of this world."

Sun Mo didn't go to help her up. Instead, he squatted at the side and was staring at an ant that was passing by.

"Eh?"

Li Ziqi started.

"You really are a kind girl!"

Sun Mo smiled, he picked that ant up and showed it to her.

"Eh?"

Li Ziqi was still in a daze, but she soon understood. Sun Mo thought that she fell down on purpose in order to avoid stepping on the ant. Aiya, she turned from a stupid girl into a kind girl in an instant. After managing to save her face, happiness bloomed in Li Ziqi's heart.

"No one has ever treated me like this!"

Li Ziqi felt very strange. In the past when she fell down, her servants, guards, and aunties would be extremely frightened and hurry over to console her. But today, this was the first time she had a different experience.

By saying such words, she didn't feel the embarrassment she had felt in the past. Instead, she even felt a little joyful.

"Have you eaten yet?"
