After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter Three: Private Tutor?

I didn't have time to answer.

The doorbell rang.

Mom went to open the door.

"You must be Xiao Huo, please come in." The mother was very welcoming.

I stood up from the sofa, my brows slightly furrowed.

Little Huo?

For some reason, I thought of Huo Yubai.

"Hello, uncle."

Just as I was deep in thought, a boy dressed in white shirt and black pants appeared in front of me.

I was stunned: "Huo, Huo Yubai?!"

Is it really him?

"You know my brother?" He smiled slightly at me.

I calmed down.

wrong.

Although the boy in front of her looked very much like Huo Yubai, his temperament was completely opposite to Huo Yubai's.

Huo Yubai was a very gloomy and reserved person. He was taciturn and his eyes were sharp like those of a hawk.

The man before her was gentle and refined, possessing a clean and bright youthful quality.

Moreover, he wore metal-framed glasses and had a pleasant smile on his lips, looking like someone who was very good at studying.

"Huo Yubai is your brother?" I asked in surprise.

“Yes, my name is Huo Yushen.” He reached out his hand to me, his fingers clean and slender.

"Hello." I said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be twins."

"It's alright, he probably won't mention me to anyone." He chuckled.

"So our little one is classmates with Teacher Huo's younger brother!" the mother said with a smile.

"Not classmates, but alumni," I explained.

“Anything is fine.” Dad walked up to Huo Yushen and said, “Teacher Huo, then I’ll trouble you to tutor my little one.”

"Uncle, you don't need to be so polite. Just call me Yu Shen." Huo Yu Shen smiled gently and politely.

He possesses a maturity beyond his years.

I confirmed again that he was not Huo Yubai.

"You all go to class first, I'll prepare dinner," Mom said warmly.

After all, for her, my sudden passion for learning is a good thing.

I know that my infatuation with Gu Heng actually makes them feel awkward.

Although they doted on me, my actions still made them the laughingstock of others.

"Yes, go to your tutoring class quickly," Dad urged.

"Teacher Huo, this way please." I led Huo Yushen upstairs.

Huo Yushen stepped forward to follow.

I took him to the study.

After all, men and women are different.

Anyway, the small study on the second floor is mine too.

Huo Yushen put down his backpack and asked me, "Which subject do you want to tutor first?"

"Math, I guess," I said, taking out my textbooks and notebooks from my bag.

Actually, I still had some doubts.

Then I specifically chose a very difficult math problem and asked Huo Yushen to explain it to me.

Don't say it.

Huo Yushen is indeed very smart, and he explained things very clearly, making them very easy to understand.

I understood immediately.

"I see." I nodded repeatedly.

“Your foundation is not bad,” Huo Yushen said, sitting down next to me. “You just need to put in a little more effort.”

"Hmm." I looked at him: "Teacher Huo, you're such a good student, why don't you tutor your younger brother?"

Huo Yushen smiled helplessly: "He doesn't need me to help him make up for it."

"Why?" I asked, puzzled. "If I had an older brother who was also so good at studying, I would definitely beg him to teach me every day."

“Because he doesn’t need it.” Huo Yushen’s eyes were deep.

I guessed there was some problem between the two brothers, so I didn't ask any further.

Before dinner, we reviewed math, and after dinner, I did a physics test.

Huo Yushen explained the questions I got wrong and helped me understand them.

It was already 10 p.m.

"What time tomorrow?" he asked me as he packed his things.

“If you have the time, I’d like to start in the morning,” I said, looking at him.

"Okay, I'll be there at nine." He slung his backpack over his shoulder.

I saw him out.

Come to the living room.

"Uncle and Aunt, I'll be going now." He was very polite.

Dad stood up: "It's too late, I'll take you home."

"No need, I came by bike," Huo Yushen refused.

"Mom and Dad, I'll go see him off!" I said.

Mom and Dad nodded in agreement.

Huo Yushen and I came out of the villa.

Sure enough, there was a bicycle parked in the yard.

He rode on it.

"See you tomorrow." I smiled at him.

"Hmm." Huo Yushen's dark eyes deepened. "Keep it up."

I was taken aback.

"I believe you can do it." He looked at me intently.

"Thank you," I said.

Huo Yushen rode away on his bicycle.

Looking at his slender back, it was indeed impossible to connect him with Huo Yubai.

-

The next day.

Something happened back in my hometown, and my parents need to go back.

In order not to interfere with my studies, they didn't let me go back with them.

My family has a housekeeper to take care of me, so they feel very reassured.

Huo Yushen arrived after they left.

Unlike yesterday, he was wearing a black tracksuit today, his hair was neat and clean, and he exuded a very refreshing minty scent.

We spent the whole morning in the study catching up on lessons.

Finished lunch at noon.

Huo Yushen said, "I see you don't have enough review materials. How about we go to the bookstore this afternoon?"

"Okay," I agreed immediately, as I dared not be careless when it came to studying.

Huo Yushen was waiting for me in the living room.

I went to my room to change my clothes.

It's already October, and the weather is getting colder.

I wore a white shirt with a ruffled collar and a dark blue suspender skirt, with black Mary Jane shoes on my feet.

Standing in front of the mirror, looking at my youthful and beautiful self, I couldn't help but sigh, "It's so good to be young."

I've had enough of showing off, so I'm going downstairs with my bag.

Huo Yushen sat on the sofa, looking down at his phone.

Hearing footsteps, he slowly raised his head, his unfathomable eyes slightly brightening.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." I smiled and walked over. "You can go now."

Huo Yushen put away his phone, stood up, and his tall figure exuded a powerful presence.

However, her gentle and refined demeanor quickly replaced the coldness.

It felt as if that momentary feeling was just my imagination.

I left home.

Huo Yushen walked to the bicycle.

I was taken aback for a moment: "Isn't it supposed to be a taxi?"

He paused slightly, looked at the dress I was wearing, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his handsome and refined face.

I was also dumbfounded.

Oops!

How could I not have thought of that? If he were riding a bike, I would have to sit behind him.

"Let's take a taxi." Huo Yushen put his hand down.

I remembered that Huo Yushen became my tutor in order to earn money for his college tuition.

If we take a taxi and he splits the cost with me, then this expense won't be in his budget.

"Let's ride the bike instead, as long as you don't mind," I said, looking at him.

"I don't mind." He turned around and pushed the car next to me.

Then he sat down first.

Looking at the boy's slender waist encased in black sportswear, I felt a little embarrassed for some reason.

But she still sat down and gently held onto the hem of his clothes with both hands.

"Hold on tight," he said in a clear, gentle voice.

"Ah."

He got on his bicycle and drove me away from the villa.

The crisp autumn breeze, mingled with the minty scent of the boy, made me feel that my youth had truly returned.

This time, I'm determined to seize the opportunity and live for myself!
