Chapter 443: Chapter 443: Don’t Ask, Just Don’t Want to Do It Anymore
Shen Zhaozhao had been kissed until she was dizzy, when she suddenly heard a voice by her ear, “When can I move back to sleep?”
Shen Zhaozhao’s muddled brain suddenly cleared up a bit.
So he had been waiting here for her?
Seeing as she needed his help, Shen Zhaozhao said, “Move, move now, right now, tonight!”
A satisfied smile finally appeared on Sheng Chuyi’s lips.
That night, Shen Zhaozhao had a physical showdown with someone before Xie Yu did.
The next morning, awoken by the alarm clock and thinking about having to go tutor Xie Yu, Shen Zhaozhao suddenly felt like slacking off again while hugging her blanket.
After finally persuading herself to take the subway, she thought about how her tutoring job required not only mental effort but also physical effort for the sake of her student, and felt it was too hard.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t sleep well last night?” Xie Yu came over to open the door for her and, seeing her listless appearance, couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows and ask.
Shen Zhaozhao looked at him gloomily, “Don’t ask. If you ask, it’s because I don’t want to do it anymore.”
“Don’t say that, my grades have just started to improve. Could it be that you think my mom’s tutoring fee is too little? Otherwise, I can talk to her and ask her to add a bit more?”
Shen Zhaozhao didn’t know what to say for a moment and looked at him, “You really are a good son to your mom!”
Xie Yu: “That’s because I think you teach quite well. Considering how much I’ve improved, my mom will definitely be willing.”
“Forget it, I was just speaking off the cuff, I didn’t really mean I won’t do it.” Her tutoring fee was already higher than most people’s, and she knew well enough to be content with what she had.
Moreover, she wasn’t doing it for the money.
“By the way, my mom said I did well on this test, and to thank you, she has prepared a gift for you specifically,” Xie Yu leaned against the doorframe, watching her put on shoe covers and said.
“How could I accept that?” Shen Zhaozhao’s eyes involuntarily lit up.
Xie Yu snorted softly, “You might be more convincing if you could keep your smile from curling up.”
“So, what exactly did your mom prepare for me?” Shen Zhaozhao asked curiously. She wasn’t really coveting the gift itself, but the act of giving represented the parent’s appreciation, which made her quite happy.
“You’ll know when you leave,” Xie Yu straightened up and returned to his room after speaking.
Though curious, Shen Zhaozhao felt it wasn’t appropriate to chase after him and ask. Besides, if it was just a small gift, fine, but if it was something expensive, she would feel embarrassed to accept it.
Perhaps out of fear that she would just quit, Xie Yu was quite cooperative today, and the lesson went very smoothly.
When she was leaving, Mrs. Xie indeed brought out a gift box to thank her.
The brand on the gift box was familiar to Shen Zhaozhao, it was a set of skincare products, almost more valuable than her whole month’s tutoring fee.
Usually, the skincare products she used were mostly bought by Aunt Suxin, all good and well-known brands, and Shen Zhaozhao was very clear about the prices.
“This is too valuable, I can’t accept it!” Shen Zhaozhao immediately refused.
“There’s no need to be polite,” Mrs. Xie told her, “This little thing means nothing to us, it’s just a little token of our appreciation. You’ve worked hard these past days. We’ve hired so many tutors before and none were effective, but it’s only been a month since you started teaching him and he has made such great progress; our entire family is very grateful to you.”
