It's just The Sims, how did it become my ideal love story?

Chapter 91: Arrested Again? (Please vote!)

What's interesting about mathematics? It's interesting because of TMLG (Technical and Logical Reasoning).

Actually, he didn't hate it that much. For Gu Huai, mathematics was just one of the things that had tormented him, and it wasn't as repulsive as those mortal beings.

I don't know if it's because of my intelligence, or because I've been watching those teachers' lessons online recently and have come up with some insights.

After a little tidying up, Gu Huai had an idea of ​​how to teach Lin Jiang.

"Is math your worst subject?"

He asked Lin Jiang first.

Lin Jiang nodded obediently, "Yeah, I failed math in the last monthly exam. I get a headache just looking at those equations, and I don't understand anything about quadrants or triangles."

Speaking of these things, Lin Jiang's little face looked like she was about to cry from grievance.

"Why are those people studying this stuff? Am I going to work in interior design after I learn it? And what exactly is pi? There are so many digits after the decimal point. If I can't even calculate it all now, then I shouldn't bother. I can do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, right? Waaah."

Gu Huai was both amused and exasperated.

Many girls who don't do well in school tend to struggle with math, but is it really necessary to be so resentful?

He smiled and said, "Alright, alright. Why are you still crying?"

I didn't cry.

She muttered something under her breath.

Gu Huai really wanted to pat her head because of her cute and cautious appearance, but unfortunately, she wasn't a kitten that anyone could pet.

Gu Huai said softly.

"Mathematics is mainly about learning the thought process and logic. Memorizing formulas is not very useful. I will try to show you how I solve problems. Try to understand it, and you can ask me if there is anything you don't understand."

"I'm afraid I'll seem too annoying. After all, there are too many things I don't understand."

The girl was still a little worried.

Gu Huai smiled and said, "It's okay. This is what a personal trainer does. It's not something I can just explain to you and get by. You have to understand it for it to be effective. Otherwise, explaining too much won't help. What do you think?"

"I I know."

"Okay. Let's begin."

From here, we will begin to carefully tutor this girl.

Gu Huai never imagined he could be this patient. Perhaps it was because this person was Lin Jiang? He didn't think he had any talent for teaching or educating people, nor did he have the qualities of a good teacher.

A different guy, or an ordinary girl, might not have had that kind of patience. People hate others for being visual creatures, yet they themselves become visual creatures—it's unavoidable; this world is a giant spectacle of double standards.

Lin Jiang was initially confused, but gradually, with Gu Huai's patient explanation, her eyes cleared up considerably.

When the time was almost up, Gu Huai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Although we didn't cover much material today, it at least proves that you're not incapable of learning math. It's just that you had too much resistance before, which had some impact on your learning. Look, you solved the problem I asked you to solve earlier quite well."

Being a teacher is really not easy. You need to be patient, explain things, and finally give emotional support and encouragement.

Now I understand why there's a saying: "A teacher for a day is a father for life."

Lin Jiang raised her head, her bright eyes showing some joy, "It's all thanks to Brother Gu Huai's excellent teaching. I definitely couldn't have done it alone, I'm too clumsy. Thank you for your hard work."

How kind she is.

Hearing a pretty and lovely girl thank me like this gives me a sense of accomplishment.

However, Gu Huai also knew that this was not something that could be accomplished in a day.

He said softly, "Okay, that's enough for lunchtime. I'll go over it with you again before evening self-study. Now go back to the classroom for class."

"Yes, I will work hard and I will definitely not let Brother Gu Huai down."

Gu Huai thought for a moment and then said, "Have you forgotten what I said?"

"What?" She looked at the tall, slender boy with some confusion.

"Don't work hard for others, because you won't reap the true joy of success that way. Work hard for yourself. Believe in yourself. You can do it not because of others, but because you are not stupid. You are very smart."

Lin Jiang stared blankly at Gu Huai.

The afternoon sun shone on his short, dark hair. His face wasn't exactly handsome, nor was it strikingly beautiful. But he looked reliable and dependable. His gaze seemed to need no words to reassure anyone, offering an irreplaceable sense of security.

"I understand, I will try my best."

"Don't be too stressed and exhaust yourself. Remember to rest. Let's go."

"Mmm!" The girl seemed much more excited, and she inexplicably had an urge to jump and skip around the boy. Of course, she was too shy and nervous to do such a thing.

She longed to be that kind of radiant and beautiful girl, laughing freely without caring about others' opinions, and freely expressing her personality.

But she felt she was too stupid and could never become such a smart and brave girl in her entire life.

Standing next to him now, I actually feel somewhat inferior and insignificant.

As they walked out of the library together, she couldn't help but look up and ask softly.

"Brother Gu Huai".

"Ok?"

"Don't you think I'm too cowardly?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I can't even tell my mom what I'm thinking. It was only after you spoke up that my situation improved a bit. I'm also not very good at studying, and I don't seem to have any talent for the piano. I might be worse off than you think."

Gu Huai turned to look at the other person and asked, "Do you think I'm a brave person?"

Lin Jiang immediately nodded, "Of course, I've seen you play basketball. You play very well, and you're very confident and handsome."

The last sentence was spoken so softly that Gu Huai didn't hear it at all, but it didn't matter.

He just smiled and said, "But before you saw me play basketball, I was more insecure and cowardly than you think. I'm also someone who isn't good at expressing my thoughts. No matter what I feel inside, I can only silently endure the pressure."

"No way?"

Lin Jiang clearly didn't believe it, after all, when she saw Gu Huai, he was no longer the same Gu Huai.

Gu Huai shrugged. "If you don't believe me, you can ask some of my classmates. Some of them might not even remember me. Because I was practically invisible in class before. You're much better off than me; at least you're better looking, right?"

"Pfft. No way, you're praising me again."

Is he a self-praise addict? He's always looking for opportunities to praise himself.

Praising a girl's beauty may seem like a cliché, but it's undeniably effective.

"That's just how it is. Actually, I don't know if I'm brave or not, or how I became like this, but I still remember who I used to be. I think there's no need to rush to prove myself or rush to change. Take it slow, things will get better slowly."

The stairwell is clean; I walk down step by step.

Watching the boy gradually basking in the sunlight, the girl silently nodded vigorously in her heart.

Take it slow, and maybe you'll be able to stand in the sunlight too.

As long as he stays here.

"What are you thinking about? Class is about to start."

Gu Huai smiled and urged the girl on.

"Ah good!"

Lin Jiang ran to Gu Huai's side with small steps, and the two walked towards the teaching building.

Gu Huai didn't think it was a big deal, since it didn't put any pressure on the young Lin Jiang, who wasn't the monster-like Lin Jiang from later on.

The famous detective who can see through every single detail about herself!

The two were chatting and laughing as they walked toward the teaching building, enjoying the rare sense of vanity of being in control in front of Lin Jiang. Gu Huai didn't notice what was happening on the way.

When they reached the entrance of the building, Lin Jiang stopped in her tracks.

Gu Huai was still wondering when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the side.

"Gu Huai?"

Who called me?
Gu Huai turned his head and saw Cai Yan, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, her hands tucked into her school uniform jacket, and a lollipop in her mouth, staring at him.

Why a stare? Gu Huai was also curious.

And next to her was Lulu, who was always by her side like a pendant.

She seemed quite happy for some reason and couldn't help but wink at Gu Huai.

"Got caught again~"
