With Teacher Ning, Lin Hai arrived in front of the cool tea girl's stall.

"Hey, little sister, give me back my phone." Lin Hai shouted at the cool tea girl, who was busy humming and fiddling under the stall without knowing what she was doing.

Teacher Ning also seemed to believe a lot more at this moment, her pretty face turning even redder.

"Ah"

The cool tea girl, like a thief caught by the owner, suddenly stood up, her hand loosened, and a phone fell to the ground.

Lin Hai took one glance and immediately recognized it as his familiar phone.

"Look, this is my phone." Lin Hai pointed to the phone on the ground and said to Teacher Ning, thinking to himself that he could finally clear his name and be proven innocent.

Teacher Ning also looked at the phone as if to verify.

But when her gaze fell on the phone's screen, the image froze, and her initially puzzled look turned completely into embarrassment.

The scene playing on Lin Hai's phone at that moment was from a Europe and America Hollywood sci-fi action blockbuster, and it seemed to have been deliberately set to mute. Most importantly, the scene showed the romantic kiss between the male and female leads.

"You still say you're not a pervert?" Teacher Ning, as if she had caught the evidence, angrily accused Lin Hai.

Now standing under the broad daylight, surrounded by passing crowds, Teacher Ning's momentum seemed boosted by an invisible force from the crowd, enhancing her "courage" BUFF.

"A person shouldn't eat recklessly, and they shouldn't speak recklessly either, Teacher Ning, it's surprising for someone who is a respected teacher, even though you teach young children, but how can you slander such an upright person who is just barely starting to get rid of low-brow tastes... what the hell is this situation?"

Lin Hai was interrupted mid-sentence as his own gaze was drawn to the content playing on his phone's screen.

Looking at that content, Lin Hai was directly choked up.

"Isn't this the latest movie Fan Jian sent to me a while ago?"

"Why the heck is it playing now?"

Lin Hai widened his eyes, his mind racing.

Suddenly, he remembered a detail. When he was calling out to the cool tea girl earlier, she seemed to be sneakily messing with his phone under the stall.

Lin Hai's gaze immediately fixed on the cool tea girl.

Feeling the unusual gaze, the cool tea girl guiltily avoided Lin Hai's gaze, but her flushed cheeks profoundly betrayed her.

"Did you play it?" Lin Hai glared at the cool tea girl, heartbrokenly shouting inside: "You're such an innocent girl, why would you want to watch this part—give me back my innocence!"

Faced with Lin Hai's accusations, the cool tea girl stuttered, stopped and started. She was just very curious, but now being caught red-handed, she felt an overwhelming sense of shame making her heart wildly thump.

"I... I didn't do it on purpose."

The cool tea girl's voice was so weak, faint as a mosquito.

Just as she was about to blame Lin Hai extensively and vent her inner grievances, Teacher Ning, hearing the cool tea girl's response, was dumbfounded.

Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief. He was just afraid that the cool tea girl, because of her pride, would stubbornly deny it, and then his innocence would probably not be cleared even with the best laundry detergent.

"Teacher Ning, you see? I am innocent."

Lin Hai finished speaking, took out a yuan he had just borrowed from Ning Qingyuan, and placed it on the cool tea girl's stall, saying, "One yuan, take it, no need to give back the twenty cents."

After speaking, Lin Hai swiftly picked up his own cell phone and locked the screen.

The cool tea girl bowed her head, looking like a child who had been caught misbehaving, too embarrassed to even breathe out loud.

"Teacher Ning, you see, the misunderstanding has been cleared up now. I'm really sorry about earlier, it was reckless of me." Lin Hai looked every bit the noble gentleman.

Ning Qingyuan glared at him furiously, her heart filled with extreme grief. All she wanted now was to go home as quickly as possible, she couldn't stand another minute on the streets where even the sunlight seemed harsh.

"Mr. Lin, you better watch yourself. A person who keeps those kinds of videos on their phone, even if not a scoundrel, is definitely not a good thing," Teacher Ning said, then turned to leave.

Lin Hai touched his chin, sighing lightly: "Teacher Ning, in this world, there are no completely good people, only varying degrees of bad."

Hearing Lin Hai's fallacious claim, Ning Qingyuan almost stumbled and fell.

"And you, little sister, probably no more than twenty, right? Looking through other people's phones is an invasion of privacy, you know?" Lin Hai scolded her, speaking like an expert.

"Oh..." the cool tea girl was ashamed, keeping her head low, not daring to make a sound anymore.

Teacher Ning ran away, completely ashamed, and Lin could only guess how she must be feeling now, probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

Before leaving, Lin Hai casually grabbed a cup of cool tea to quench his thirst.

He had walked less than fifty meters when the voice of the cool tea girl suddenly came from behind him.

"Excuse me, sir, please wait a moment."

Lin Hai paused, then remembered he hadn't paid for the cool tea.

"Sh*t, do I have to leave my phone behind again?"

"Sir, may I ask your surname?" the cool tea girl called after Lin Hai, running towards him eagerly.

Lin Hai paused, thinking to himself: "Could it be that this girl, charmed by my dazzling handsomeness, wants to get to know me?"

Although he thought so, Lin Hai still calmly replied, "My last name is Lin, first name Hai, any problem?"

The cool tea girl, upon hearing the answer, stared at him with her big watery eyes for several seconds before lowering her head and saying, "It's nothing, goodbye."

After speaking, the cool tea girl turned her petite body around, silently muttering to herself, "Lin Hai, by the sea..."

"Confused, what's with everyone today, all acting strangely," Lin Hai shook his head, unable to understand, and headed to catch the bus. Suddenly, he involuntarily remembered the cool tea girl's silhouette, which seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn't recall exactly where.

"I mean, such a youthful girl, I shouldn't have any connection with her at all."

Lin Hai dismissed the thoughts from his mind, since he couldn't figure it out and didn't want to dwell on it, he decided to simply enjoy every moment of the ordinary life he had fought so hard to obtain.

Upon returning to her stall, the cool tea girl stared blankly at Lin Hai's departing figure, tears suddenly welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she murmured to herself, "Lin Hai, Lin Hai... Are you really the big brother I met in my orphan childhood?"

Just now, for some reason, seeing Lin Hai's back reminded her fiercely of that unforgettable big brother from her orphan days.

"I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime, sob, you couldn't tell my age, probably because I look a bit youthful, big brother, is it really you?"

"Are you really that big brother who fought for food with stray dogs and brawled with adults beggars to protect me?"
