The Secret to Picking Up Girls

"I'm sorry..." After a long silence, Zhang Yuze finally managed to utter these few words. He kept his head down, not daring to look at Zheng Jie.

Upon hearing Zhang Yuze's words, Zheng Jie's expression changed. She gave him a deep look and, after a long while, said, "It's okay."

Then, she said nothing more.

Although Zhang Yuze couldn't discern anything from Zheng Jie's face, he could still sense her feelings. He could feel her current mood. He had taken everything from her, yet he couldn't give her a single promise. This made Zhang Yuze feel uneasy and ashamed.

"Instructor, did you two go out for breakfast together?" Yu Min asked curiously, looking at them.

Zhang Yuze and Zheng Jie felt guilty under their gazes. Although it was their personal matter, they still didn't want to reveal it to others.

"Haha! Yes! We went out for breakfast and just got back," Zhang Yuze coughed and quickly went along with their assumption.

"Really? But when I went to your dorm just now, your roommate seemed to say you hadn't returned," Wu Xinyu said with a mischievous smile.

"Uh!" Wu Xinyu's words made Zhang Yuze's head spin. He didn't know how to answer.

However, Zhang Yuze quickly came up with an idea. "Haha, I went home yesterday and just came back today."

At this moment, Zheng Jie, who was beside Zhang Yuze, said to him calmly, "You guys talk first! I'm going back." Without waiting for Zhang Yuze to reply, she turned and left.

Zhang Yuze watched Zheng Jie's departing figure and sighed deeply in his heart. He knew that Zheng Jie might be in a bad mood and wondered if his words had hurt her. But Zhang Yuze couldn't help it. He couldn't give her any promises right now because giving her a promise would mean hurting the other girls.

"Instructor Zheng is so strange today! Why didn't she even greet us? Did we do something wrong?" Su Jing said thoughtfully, watching Zheng Jie's departing figure.

"Yeah! I also think Instructor Zheng Jie seems a little strange," Zhuo Yubin added.
