The sound of the stomach growling was incredibly clear, and Andrew heard it perfectly.

Seeing Scarlett blushing but remaining motionless, still holding the pen, Andrew was momentarily at a loss.

"Scar, are you going to eat dinner or not?"

’Maybe I should just leave. After I tried persuading her several times, Scar still refused to eat. She probably just doesn’t want to, so I shouldn’t stay here and make her angry.’

Just as Andrew took a step, Scarlett’s crisp, cold voice came from behind him.

"Stop right there."

"???" Andrew turned back, looking at Scarlett with a face full of confusion.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, her mouth was slightly pouted, and she was biting her lip, her mouth moving slightly as if she wanted to say something but seemed to hold it back.

’How despicable! He deliberately brought food out to tempt me, making my stomach hungrier.’

’Now that my stomach is growling from hunger, he actually thinks he can just leave like this.’

’He is truly despicable!!! This is infuriating!!!’

The more Scarlett thought about it, the angrier she became, and she squeezed the casing of the red pen in her hand until it cracked.

Just as she was so angry her back molars were almost grinding to dust, a waft of warm fragrance drifted into her nose.

"Hey there, Scar, why don’t you eat dinner first? You’ll have the energy to punish me after you eat," Andrew said to Scarlett with a grin.

When Scarlett called him to stop earlier but didn’t say anything, it was obvious she was hungry and wanted to eat but didn’t want to ask proactively.

Andrew could easily see through such thoughts.

It was just that he hadn’t expected Scarlett to be so tsundere; even though she was clearly starving, she still refused to speak up.

Faced with the repeated temptation of the fragrant egg fried rice, Scarlett couldn’t hold back anymore and opened her mouth.

But before taking the spoon, she pulled her hand back and said to Andrew, "I haven’t forgiven you, you’re the one offering it to me to eat."

Andrew nodded repeatedly, "I know, I will listen carefully in class next time."

Hearing this, Scarlett finally stopped struggling.

However, she didn’t reach for the spoon. Instead, she took a new red pen from the desk and told Andrew, "You feed me."

"Huh???"

"What’s wrong? I’ve fed you so many times, and you’re unwilling to feed me just once? I’m even helping you write annotations," Scarlett looked at Andrew dissatisfiedly.

"Willing, willing." Andrew grinned and nodded repeatedly, picking up the spoon to start feeding Scarlett.

Scarlett continued to write annotations for Andrew while eating, occasionally giving him detailed explanations.

"Especially this problem, how many times have I covered this grammar point in class? This is knowledge that is guaranteed to be tested in the English CET-4 and CET-6 exams, yet you still wrote it incorrectly."

"I will remember this time, and I definitely won’t make the same mistake next time."

As Andrew guaranteed, he fed Scarlett another spoonful and reminded her softly, "Scar, eat slowly, be careful not to choke."

"I won’t. Just keep feeding me."

"Uh..."

Normally, Scarlett ate quite gracefully, opening her mouth only a little, at most eating a bit quickly.

But tonight, Scarlett must have been starving. Every time, she opened her mouth wide and bit down on the entire spoon.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Andrew would never have imagined that Scarlett’s mouth was large enough to swallow more than half of the spoon.

After feeding Scarlett until she was full, Andrew could clearly feel that most of her anger had dissipated. The tone she used when explaining problems to him was no longer as icy as it was in the evening.

’Heh heh, coaxing Professor Scarlett with food really was the right approach.’

The next day, Andrew still had a full schedule and no time to go to Scarlett’s office.

In the last elective class, since the content wasn’t important, Andrew was continuously discussing things with Mark Vane.

"Boss, the campus e-sports section you asked me to do is finished, but it hasn’t been updated on Luna yet. Why don’t you come take a look?"

"I won’t look. Just follow the requirements I gave last time. Later, there will be cross-promotions with those few shops in the school, so make some advertisements for them too. They don’t need to be too conspicuous, just display them in some obscure corners of the Luna."

Andrew agreed to help Dicky and the others’ shops advertise, but he didn’t specify where the effect would be placed. He wouldn’t mess up his website layout for a verbal promise.

"Alright. But Boss, I’ve recruited three new people to work together. How about we have a meal together? They can meet you too."

Andrew had thought about Mark Vane’s suggestion yesterday, but because his exams were a mess, he had to rush home every night for review sessions, so he could only postpone it now.

"Let’s talk about it this weekend. I’ve been very busy these few days, so I have no time."

"Boss, what are you busy with?"

Mark Vane thought to himself, I do all the work, even recruiting people is my job, what the heck is Andrew busy with?

"Don’t ask too much about the boss’s business. I have important matters to discuss with the financial backer."

"Oh."

As soon as the class bell rang, Andrew quickly left the classroom, making Ethan and the others put in quite an effort to catch up.

"Andy, why are you running so fast? It’s already the last class," Ethan said breathlessly.

But Andrew didn’t slow down, continuing toward the campus Entrepreneurship Street,"I have something to do. Why are you looking for me?"

"Didn’t your Luna organize some kind of ’Fearless Contract’ competition? As long as you participate, you get a bubble tea coupon, and the top three get other vouchers, right?"

"If you want to join, then go participate."

"I’m short one person."

"Doesn’t your dorm have six people? How can you be short?"

"Tony, that Dog bastard, was pulled away by Diana, and Steve doesn’t play games. We’re short one person."

Ethan couldn’t gather five people, which is why he was anxiously looking for Andrew.

"Talk about it tomorrow. I have to go back and review tonight! I’m leaving first.", Andrew said, quickening his pace and running off.

Ethan stood stunned on the spot, watching the direction Andrew ran, "That Dog bastard going back to review? Has the sun risen in the west?"

After leaving, Andrew immediately ran to the fruit store, bought a durian, and then went back.

He knew Scarlett liked to eat durian. Coaxing her again tonight should completely calm her down.

Besides, the durian tastes really good, and he could eat it too.

The truth is, people are fickle.
