Certainly. Below is the requested translation:
"How... how did you guess?"
Seeing He Beibei’s puzzled expression, Chen Bin felt a faint burst of amusement within.
He had already understood her situation clearly yesterday.
But for the sake of appearances, Chen Bin still answered with feigned seriousness.
"Your age right now is exactly when young hearts start stirring. It’s perfectly normal to be troubled over matters of love."
"Then tell me, how did you fall in love back then?"
As she spoke, He Beibei leaned closer to Chen Bin, looking genuinely interested.
Chen Bin, on the other hand, gave an embarrassed laugh. "I was quite insecure back then—not even brave enough to talk to girls. So as for falling in love... I haven’t really experienced much of it."
Rolling her eyes dismissively, He Beibei appeared somewhat impatient.
"You’ve never been in love—how can you help me solve my problems?"
"Tell me your situation first so I can see if I can help you."
After a moment’s hesitation, He Beibei nodded.
"Alright, but you absolutely can’t tell my parents!"
"Rest assured, I won’t betray you."
Seeing Chen Bin’s face full of sincerity, He Beibei let out a sigh.
She then shared her real story.
In truth, she wasn’t really in love. She just had a closer relationship with her desk mate.
But many classmates kept teasing them, saying they were a perfect match.
Initially, He Beibei had no feelings for her desk mate, but after hearing such remarks, she started to feel conflicted.
Unsure if her feelings for her desk mate were genuine affection.
Upon learning the details, Chen Bin fixed his gaze on He Beibei’s eyes.
"Now be honest with me—do you like your desk mate?"
"I don’t know. But with so many people saying I do, maybe I do."
Chen Bin probed further, "Then what was your desk mate’s reaction to you being bullied yesterday?"
"He just kept apologizing on behalf of his girlfriend, saying it wasn’t intentional."
"Wait—he already has a girlfriend?"
This revelation made Chen Bin burst out laughing.
"Since he already has a girlfriend, why are you still hung up on him? Are you planning to be a homewrecker?"
"Of course not! It’s just... everyone keeps saying I like him, and I don’t know what to do."
"It’s easy. Just have your parents inform the class teacher to change your seat. You’re just in the early stage of discovering emotions—you hardly know what real affection is."
"Well... alright then."
During the remaining time, the two chatted extensively about all sorts of topics.
Looking at Chen Bin’s handsome face and remembering his protective demeanor from yesterday, this naive young girl suddenly harbored feelings she couldn’t quite define.
All she knew was one thing—being with Chen Bin made her heart genuinely happy.
After their chat, He Beibei stood up actively and pulled Chen Bin by the hand, heading toward the door.
"Hero Brother, let’s go out for a meal."
This peculiar term of address left Chen Bin momentarily dumbfounded.
"That’s right! You’re my big hero!"
As she spoke, He Beibei flashed a subtle smile—two shallow dimples forming at her lips, looking endearingly sweet.
Chen Bin rubbed her head lightly, deciding not to deliberate her choice of words any further.
When they arrived at the restaurant, He Chaoping and Zheng Najiao were still seated at the table, chatting softly.
The dishes before them remained untouched.
"Beibei, you’ve finally agreed to come out and eat—this is wonderful!"
Upon seeing He Beibei accompanied by Chen Bin, Zheng Najiao appeared overjoyed.
"You two sit first. I’ll go reheat the dishes and bring them over."
Once seated, Chen Bin spoke directly to He Chaoping.
"Mr. He, I recommend calling Beibei’s teacher and asking for her seat to be changed. Regarding schoolwork—if she has any questions about topics she doesn’t understand, she’s welcome to ask me anytime. I still remember my high school lessons."
"Wonderful! That’s truly amazing—come, we need to have a good drink tonight!"
At that moment, He Chaoping could hardly express his gratitude toward Chen Bin.
A straightforward and honest man, his mind was also relatively simple.
Anyone good to his family would receive equal kindness in return.
Not only did Chen Bin manage to convince He Beibei to come out for a meal, but he also offered tutoring—a tremendous favor.
He would absolutely repay this debt in the future.
After dinner, Chen Bin, noting he had no plans for the evening, decided to tutor He Beibei further.
After getting a sense of her abilities, he noticed her foundation was quite solid.
If she kept up the current pace of learning, she’d at least qualify for a bachelor’s program.
With a strong performance, she might even make it into a top-tier institution.
But He Beibei had different aspirations—her sole goal was to catch up with the top students in her class.
Only then would she avoid being looked down upon.
Seeing the young girl’s determination, Chen Bin reluctantly helped her plan a new study schedule.
By the time everything was sorted, it was already eight o’clock in the evening.
To express their gratitude, He Chaoping had his wife, Zheng Najiao, personally drive Chen Bin back to the County Committee’s accommodations.
Initially, Chen Bin planned to head upstairs and visit Xu Ruoxuan. But remembering the incident where Dong Lili secretly took photos, he felt uneasy.
After contemplating for a bit, he decided to return to his own quarters.
Upon entering, there was no sign of Qian Lang—no clue as to where he had gone.
Ever since Chen Bin became Wang Jun’s assistant, he’d noticed a growing distance between himself and Qian Lang.
He had tried to broach the topic directly, but Qian Lang always brushed it aside.
Leaving Chen Bin with little alternative.
After washing up, Chen Bin had just sprawled out on his bed when a notification popped up on his phone.
The contact request was from Dong Lili.
"Secretary Chen, could you reconsider that matter?"
"As long as revenge is possible, I’m willing to do anything for you—truly!"
"I’ve already written my will. If you don’t help me, I’ll kill myself right now!"
Faced with the possibility of a suicide, Chen Bin hurriedly accepted the friend request in alarm.
Before he could reply, Dong Lili initiated a video call.
Upon answering, Chen Bin saw her sitting on a bench, staring listlessly ahead.
Judging by the backdrop, she seemed to be in a park somewhere.
In addition to elderly women dancing in the square, there were young couples strolling about after dinner.
"Dong Lili, have you lost your mind? Why are you thinking ?"
Looking calmly at Chen Bin, Dong Lili said slowly.
"Li Lu has made me unable to hold my head high before everyone. I must have revenge. To make him pay the price—I’m willing to die!"
Noticing her precarious emotional state, Chen Bin’s chest tightened with anxiety.
Not only did he not know whether she’d deleted the video, but a sudden unexplained death would undoubtedly draw public attention.
At that point, things would truly spiral out of control.
After a brief moment of thought, he finally came up with an idea.
"If you want revenge, I can help you—but you’ll need to agree to one condition."
"What condition?" Dong Lili’s eyes brightened.
"Swear loyalty to me. From now on, whatever I ask of you, you’ll do it without question."
For Dong Lili, this condition seemed insignificant.
After all, she wasn’t a virtuous woman—she’d willingly allowed Sun Cheng to toy with her for two years for the sake of promotion.
Exchanging such a trivial promise for her revenge was well worth it.
"Master, I accept your condition."
Seeing that Dong Lili remained oblivious to the gravity of what she was agreeing to, a wicked grin slowly spread across Chen Bin’s face.
"Alright. Put your phone farther away so I can see what you’re wearing."
Dong Lili obediently complied.
Raising the phone high above her head, she tried to ensure Chen Bin could clearly view her entire outfit.
Noting her short skirt, Chen Bin finally issued his command.
"To prove your loyalty, remove your panties now. If you’re wearing safety shorts underneath, take those off too!"
