Standing before Teacher Lu, Tao Zhijie was like a primary school student trying to please, saying: "As a student, I dare not presume to show off in front of my teacher, and even less to smooth-talk."
"You dare not?" Teacher Lu, taking his denial, thought of the bayberry incident and got angry. She raised a finger to his face, "You and Cao Yong are the boldest, thinking I wouldn't know?"
"That day, what he gave to teacher, I truly didn't notice. I bought bayberry just because it's delicious and wanted to let teacher try it," explained Tao Zhijie.
Teacher Lu eyed his gaze intently, trying to detect if his smiling eyes were lying.
Tao Zhijie just smiled.
"Is he lying?" Unable to confirm, Teacher Lu turned and asked Xie Wanying.
Whether Senior Tao lied, she couldn't tell.
Before she could respond, Teacher Lu saw her naivety and said, "Ah, this child, are you usually completely manipulated by them? Did he ever scold you because of my matter last time?"
