A friend found Shi Mingyue, who was short on cash and poor, a job tutoring her younger cousin from a wealthy family.

The hourly pay was excellent, but the little cousin was not exactly an easy student.

In the noisy height of summer, cicadas droning, the troublemaking girl from a year below spun her pen and propped her chin, calling out, “I saw you two kissing that day you first arrived.”

Shi Mingyue froze.

Awkward and shy, Shi Mingyue took the girl’s practice test and tried to go over the questions, but the younger girl leaned in against her ear as she was working through a problem and whispered, “If I get a question right, will you give me a kiss, teacher?”
