Chapter 434: Chapter 434 Not Considering
Xie Yu: “Forget it! I’m not that curious about your boyfriend anyway.”
“What, are you lacking confidence in your own grades? Who just said that becoming the top of the year is pretty much in his pocket?” Shen Zhaozhao challenged provocatively.
“Brother was stating the facts!”
He hadn’t been serious about the exams before, but if he were to take them seriously, not to mention moving up a few ranks, even improving by ten or twenty ranks wouldn’t be a problem.
“So why don’t you dare to accept the challenge?”
“Alright, even though I know you’re provoking me, I’ll take you up on it. I’ll let you see what I’m capable of so you don’t think I’m all talk.”
Shen Zhaozhao: “It’s a deal!”
Xie Yu said, “Don’t worry, do I look like someone who doesn’t keep his word?”
“Ok, I’ll trust you.” After Shen Zhaozhao finished speaking, she tapped on the exercise booklet on the table emotionlessly, “Let’s continue!”
Two hours went by quickly.
For the first time, Xie Yu felt that class wasn’t so unbearable. Watching her pack up to leave, he couldn’t help but speak up, “Hey, I think you explain things pretty well. Have you considered becoming my tutor?”
Shen Zhaozhao stopped what she was doing and looked at him, “You think I explain well?”
“It’s decent enough, better than our teachers anyway. Their lectures are like chanting scriptures, annoying to listen to. The way you explain is straightforward and easy to understand, not so verbose.”
“You young man have some insight!”
These were her years of distilled experience. In her quest to be lazy, she had simplified the problem-solving process. And without those redundant steps, things indeed became simpler!
Xie Yu: “So, about my proposal just now, won’t you consider it?” This was the first time he had actively tried to retain a tutor.
After all, it didn’t matter who was teaching; with this girl, even if they got tired of studying, they could play a game to relax.
Shen Zhaozhao: “Not considering.”
Shen Zhaozhao stood up and said, “I don’t want my first tutoring gig to be with someone who always ranks at the bottom. It would be embarrassing to talk about.”
“Don’t you think that if you managed to improve the grades of someone who’s at the bottom, it would be even more fulfilling?” Xie Yu said.
Shen Zhaozhao: “The difficulty level is too high, and I’m very lazy by nature. I don’t like challenging things that are too hard.”
Xie Yu: “Don’t worry, I’m so clever, I definitely won’t make things too hard for you.”
“Fine, I’ll think about it.” Shen Zhaozhao paused mid-step and glanced at him before reluctantly conceding.
Honestly, she had never thought about tutoring, but it seemed manageable. Shen Zhaozhao felt she could give it a try.
“Don’t bother thinking, having me as your student is your honor, mind you.” Xie Yu said with a haughty air.
Shen Zhaozhao: “How about we leave that honor for someone else?”
This was the first time he had been so blatantly rejected. Annoying!
“Fine, if you want me as a tutor, no problem, but first you have to convince your mom.” After all, the person who pays has the final say.
Seeing her relent, Xie Yu immediately said, “Don’t worry about my mom, that won’t be a problem.”
“Talk to me after you’ve sorted it out!” Shen Zhaozhao waved her hand and left the villa.
On the subway back to school, Shen Zhaozhao received a call from Song Ning, “Not bad, Zhaozhao!”
Song Ning: “About the tutoring for me, his mom just sent me a message, asking if it was possible to switch to you helping her son with his studies?”
Shen Zhaozhao anticipated that Xie Yu would speak to his mom, but she didn’t expect things to move so quickly.
