The school beauty is aloof? Whatever, she has a younger sister.

Chapter 49 Unorthodox Tutoring Fees

Tuition begins.

Zhang Muchen picked up a ballpoint pen and wrote problem-solving techniques on the small blackboard.

The three girls behind him sat around on the carpet, knees together, listening attentively to his lecture.

When Zhang Muchen got into lecturing mode, his entire aura changed instantly.

He speaks clearly and his logic is rigorous. He can explain each knowledge point in a clever and intuitive way.

This is not just simple teaching; it is an explanation with a unique charm.

Of course, all of this is thanks to his previous tutoring of Director Wang's daughter, Weiwei.

His semester-long teaching experience has enabled him to explain the knowledge thoroughly and skillfully. Now, he is almost as good as any English teacher in terms of lecturing.

The handwriting on the blackboard was smooth and clear as Zhang Muchen wrote, analyzing examples along the way. His occasional humor even made Chu Jiuli smile.

The three girls below listened very attentively.

Chu Jiuli's gaze was focused, and she would occasionally nod slightly.

Wang Shishi was unusually quiet, not joking around, and even occasionally taking notes in her notebook.

Chu Youting blinked her bright eyes, listening intently.

The classroom atmosphere was surprisingly good.

Chu Jiuli lowered her head and wrote in her notebook, a complex emotion rising in her heart.

To be honest, Zhang Muchen is actually quite charming when she's in a serious state.

……

Five p.m.

Zhang Muchen put down his pen and looked out the window with a hint of weariness in his eyes.

In northern China in November, the sky had already begun to darken at five o'clock.

The twilight light streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, lengthening the shadows.

"That's it for today."

As the last word fell, Zhang Muchen took a sip of water to moisten his slightly dry throat.

Today's classes were very intensive, with only a fifteen-minute break. The rest of the time was spent on explanations and problem-solving.

"what……"

Wang Shishi let out a long groan and collapsed softly onto the carpet like a completely relaxed cat.

Her arms and limbs were outstretched, and she almost melted into the soft carpet. Her face was pale, and her eyes were vacant; she looked like a soulless walking corpse.

"Dude, I'm exhausted," Wang Shishi muttered to herself.

"Attending your tutoring class is more tiring than attending classes for a whole week..."

Zhang Muchen sighed helplessly, turning his gaze from the dim sky outside the window to Wang Shishi's expression, lying there like a dead cat.

"Bro, you've been playing on your phone all week, even during class. If you keep doing this, you'll be relegated to a regular class in the third year of high school."

Wang Shishi pouted, clearly not wanting to hear this: "Ah... do you have memory bread? Can someone give me Doraemon's memory bread... waaaaaah..."

Zhang Muchen breathed on his palm: "No memory bread, but do you have a big 'big hole' to wake up a sleeping mind?"

As soon as she said that, Wang Shishi sat up straight from her slumped position: "No need, buddy, this genius beauty can work hard to maintain her grades in the top class."

Zhang Muchen shook his head helplessly, glanced at the three girls, and said, "You three, give me a grade for this lesson, out of ten."

Wang Shishi raised her hand without hesitation: "7 points."

Zhang Muchen frowned and crossed his arms: "Where are those 3 points deducted?"

"You only get 15 minutes of rest time. If you extend your rest time to an hour, I can give you full marks."

Zhang Muchen: "..."

You're hopeless, buddy.

Zhang Muchen's gaze slowly shifted to Chu Youting. She was currently looking down, her pink lips pursed.

She spoke softly, her voice gentle and tinged with shyness: "Ten...ten points."

Zhang Muchen felt a surge of relief and couldn't help but nod.

Then, his gaze turned to Chu Jiuli.

Chu Jiuli: "7 points."

Zhang Muchen fell silent.

Wang Shishi gave herself a random score, while Chu Youting gave herself a score based on her liking for her.

Chu Jiuli's score of 7 seemed exceptionally genuine, almost entirely without any falsehood. He was somewhat stunned, a question rising in his mind: Could it be that his teaching level was only 7?

"Where did I go wrong?" Zhang Muchen asked, his voice tinged with confusion.

Chu Jiuli raised her eyes and said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with what you said. It's just that the time was too short. If you could have continued until 9 p.m., I would give you a 10 out of 10."

Zhang Muchen: "..."

Blanch.

There's another freeloader out there!
The child's mother is a shameless freeloader!
Zhang Muchen rubbed his temples, a hint of helplessness on his face.

Chu Jiuli glanced at the wall clock and said calmly, "It's getting late. You have dinner appointments to attend, so I won't disturb you any longer."

Wang Shishi glanced at the time. Indeed, it was already five o'clock.

Her dinner with her third uncle was scheduled for six o'clock.

Even so, she still felt a little unsatisfied.

Although I spent almost all of my afternoons in tutoring, I was able to study with Chu Jiuli, the school beauty, and Zhang Muchen giving lectures.

The atmosphere was much more interesting than listening to a teacher lecture in a classroom.

She bit her lip, a thought flashing through her mind, and then flashed a bright smile: "Oh, why don't you have dinner with us tonight? I'll introduce you to my third uncle."

Chu Jiuli shook her head: "Shishi, I have things to do at home. It's not convenient tonight."

Chu Jiuli politely declined.

She doesn't like eating with strangers; it makes her feel awkward.

But Zhang Muchen is different; he can even have a conversation with a dog. He can quickly find topics to start a conversation with people he's just met.

Seeing this, Wang Shishi didn't press the matter further. Instead, she looked at Chu Youting and tried to persuade her to stay using the same method.

"What about Youting? Does she want to stay?" Her tone clearly carried a hint of expectation.

But Chu Youting only slightly raised her head to glance at her sister, then quickly lowered her head again and whispered, "I...I also have things to do at home..."

She and Chu Jiuli had always stood together through thick and thin; if her sister didn't stay, she naturally wouldn't stay either.

Wang Shishi sighed, knowing she couldn't keep him, but she still felt a little reluctant.

She thought for a moment, then turned around and went into the bedroom. She rummaged through several bottles of nail polish, put them in a small bag, and handed it to Chu Jiuli.

"I was going to let you try these new shades this afternoon, but I ended up playing Truth or Dare with you instead. Hehe, take these home and try them out yourself."

As she spoke, she smiled and winked, "If you ever apply it, remember to take a picture and show it to me!"

Chu Jiuli took the bag, nodded slightly, and smiled.

Just as she turned to leave, she suddenly stopped and her gaze fell on Zhang Muchen.

There's something I want to ask you.

Zhang Muchen was slightly taken aback, then looked up at Chu Jiuli: "Hmm?"

"Is the tutoring session this afternoon still available?"

Her eyes were clear, and she was clearly asking the question seriously.

Before Zhang Muchen could answer, Wang Shishi interrupted, "Yes, yes. My buddy comes to my house for tutoring every week."

Zhang Muchen: ? ? ?

Who comes to your house for tutoring every week?

Before he could retort, Chu Jiuli nodded slightly: "How much is the tutoring fee?"

Zhang Muchen: "..."

Wang Shishi took Chu Jiuli's soft arm: "Oh, it's free. My buddy doesn't want any money."

Zhang Muchen: ? ? ?

Zhang Muchen laughed in exasperation.

I'm just shouting for nothing!

Zhang Muchen: "Bro, when did I say I wasn't taking money? I want..."

Wang Shishi: "Yes, I won't charge you, but I want you to pay me back with your bodies."

Chu Jiuli:? ? ?

Zhang Muchen: ? ? ?

Chu Youting: Σ(д|||)
