I was provoked at the time, and in a moment of emotional outburst, I made that boast.

In reality, Song Yujiao knew that she and Lin Fan had only met once and were hardly familiar with each other. However, since she had already boasted, she decided to take the risk and try. As expected, she was rejected by Lin Fan.

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer, Teacher Lin. I'll be going now."

Lin Fan noticed the disappointment in the girl's eyes, so he changed the subject and said, "Wait!"

"Logically speaking, I shouldn't set this precedent for you, but we have met once before, and you actually helped me out of nothing."

"Since you've come to see me, I certainly can't ignore you. How about this, this place is definitely not suitable. Come to my office, and I'll tutor you privately!"

Lin Fan was also aware that because of his age and appearance, many female students at school had inappropriate thoughts about him.

Therefore, he needs to be even more careful not to let this topic get out, as it would be bad for both him and the female student involved.

Going to the office for tutoring is obviously a good choice. Firstly, there are no other students in the office, so it won't cause any disturbance. Secondly, the office is not an extremely private environment.

Besides him, there were three other teachers inside; they couldn't all leave at the same time to teach.

That would be the perfect place to tutor Song Yujiao.

Upon hearing this, Song Yujiao's eyes immediately lit up.

"Really, Ms. Lin? Are you really willing to tutor me privately?"

Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, "Of course it's true. I'm a teacher, so of course I keep my word."

"Come on, come with me to the office!"

Song Yujiao excitedly pumped her little fist, then glanced around furtively before looking at Lin Fan and saying, "Teacher Lin, you go ahead, I'll just tell my friend and come right away, okay?"

"sure!"

So after Lin Fan left, Song Yujiao triumphantly went to find her roommates.

"Teacher Lin has agreed to tutor me privately and asked me to go to his office!"

"How about that? I didn't say it was true, did I? I told you a long time ago that I know Teacher Lin, but you didn't believe me. Now, is that alright?"

Upon hearing Song Yujiao's words, the female classmates looked on incredulously.

"That's impossible, isn't it? Others have tried to use this excuse to get in touch with Teacher Lin before, but Teacher Lin rejected them all. Do you really know Teacher Lin? Would Teacher Lin really make an exception for you?"

"Oh dear, why wasn't I the one who met Teacher Lin? You really make me jealous!"

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it. Teacher Lin is such a principled person, why would she abandon her principles for you?"

Song Yujiao smiled smugly: "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me!"

"Teacher Lin asked me to go to his office. I went there first. If you don't believe me, come and see if I'm lying."

So the rest was simple: Lin Fan tutored Song Yujiao for another half hour in his office before letting her leave.

After Song Yujiao came out, she naturally received admiration from her roommates, and even some jealousy.

She had satisfied some of her vanity, and thus her respect and affection for Lin Fan grew even stronger. She might even have indulged in some of the romantic fantasies of a young girl experiencing first love.

Unfortunately, on the very first day of class, Professor Lin publicly stated that he was married and even had a four-year-old child. This was even indirectly confirmed by Vice Dean Zhou, which broke the hearts of countless female students.

Of course, the female students' enthusiasm only made them more excited about this young, handsome, and capable teacher.

Because an idol teacher who is already married and has children means that he will never have anything happen with anyone in the school, which indirectly illustrates that he will never belong to any one of them, but will always belong to everyone.

It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon when I got home. As expected, Lin Shuying had returned home early.

Just as she said, the landlady has hardly come downstairs since she moved upstairs, as if she can take care of everything upstairs, from eating and drinking to relieving herself and sleeping.

Lin Fan and the others hadn't heard much noise from upstairs.

So it's clear that the landlady doesn't exist, which gives her her own space and makes her happy with the peace and quiet.

During dinner, Lin Fan told Lin Shuying about some interesting things that had happened that day.

After hearing this, Lin Shuying immediately became wary.

It was Lin Fan's analysis that dispelled Lin Shuying's discomfort.

After finishing his own meal, Lin Fan delivered the food to the landlady's door on the second floor, as agreed beforehand.

The landlady came out and took the food away.

But after looking at the stir-fried pork with chili peppers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes on the plate, she frowned and looked at Lin Fan, saying, "Didn't you tell me before that you could help me get familiar with the living environment abroad in advance, including the food?"

"Do foreigners eat stir-fried pork with chili peppers and scrambled eggs with tomatoes just like us?"

Upon hearing the landlady's words, Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head, somewhat amused and exasperated, and said, "Of course not, I meant to help you get acquainted with the foreign living environment."

"But this is within my ability. Take meals for example, I didn't cook today's food, and my wife doesn't know how to cook those weird foreign dishes."

"So all I can do is try to cook a separate meal when I'm cooking, so you can taste the foreign flavors and get used to them beforehand. That's all I can do."

"After all, I also have my own things to do, and I can't guarantee that I'll be the one to do these things every time. I hope you can understand."

Hearing Lin Fan's words, the landlady pursed her lips and said somewhat uncomfortably, "Alright then, I thought you would help me every day."

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "You don't actually need to get used to the environment every day. There's just a process of getting used to it."

"Don't worry, if you can adapt to this kind of lifestyle now, you'll definitely have no problem going abroad!"

Lin Fan jokingly teased the landlady with a smile.

This landlady is even more of a homebody than the homebodies of decades to come.

Even homebodies occasionally go downstairs for a stroll, but this landlady stayed upstairs all day without going out, and I don't know what she was doing.

At least homebodies can play on their phones, but in this era there weren't as many diverse entertainment options as in later generations. Lin Fan was amazed at how this person managed to persevere.
