"I’ll co to your place to tutor you at noon!"
Just before class was dismissed, Zhu Keren walked up to Chen Nan and murmured, before turning and walking away.
"Uh..."
Chen Nan was stunned.
If this had happened previously,
he would have been extrely excited, even filled with anticipation.
But now,
Nie Xiaoyu was in his ho!
If Zhu Keren saw him cohabitating with Nie Xiaoyu, she might possibly overthink things.
However,
he didn’t know how to reject Zhu Keren.
Just like that,
Chen Nan anxiously listened to the ringing of the class-ending bell.
"Why are you still not leaving?" Liu Yiyi’s voice rang out.
"Oh, I’m going now." Chen Nan shook off his daze, forced a smile, then stood up and left the classroom.
Though he didn’t know how to introduce Nie Xiaoyu to Zhu Keren, with things as they were, he could only face it, rather than avoid the situation.
He ran out of the school quickly, and at the sa ti sent Nie Xiaoyu a ssage to let her know Zhu Keren was coming over to tutor him and to prepare an extra set of chopsticks.
He jogged all the way and finally caught up with Zhu Keren at the entrance to their apartnt complex.
After all, Zhu Keren was a teacher, and if she didn’t have the last class, she could leave the campus a few minutes early.
She left early precisely to avoid being seen entering Chen Nan’s place; even if she was just going there to tutor him, she had to worry about gossip and rumors.
"Teacher Zhu, you look rather pale, is sothing the matter?" Chen Nan asked with concern when he saw Zhu Keren looking sowhat haggard.
Zhu Keren managed a smile: "It’s nothing much, just that Vice Principal Li caught up with
earlier, saying there’s a study session in the province and he wants
to go learn for a few days."
Chen Nan said in surprise, "The college entrance exam is just around the corner, and you’re the horoom teacher of the senior class. How can they send you off to a study session now? Has he got water on the brain?" Saying so, he pressed the elevator button and entered the elevator alongside Zhu Keren.
Zhu Keren’s face was full of disgust: "His brain is filled with nothing but lewd thoughts."
Chen Nan’s face showed utter astonishnt.
It was to be expected.
Vice Principal Li Zhenqiang’s reputation at the school wasn’t good; he had even tried to take advantage of Wang Li before, but she never paid him any attention.
The angrier Zhu Keren spoke, "That old thing, using his position as vice principal, sses around with everyone. I’m not falling for that."
"I’d rather be screwed by a dog than go on a business trip with him."
Chen Nan looked utterly defeated: "You can curse Li Zhenqiang, but there’s no need to drag
into it, right?"
Zhu Keren paused, then a flush of embarrassnt quickly spread across her angry face, and her eyes were filled with tenderness: "Aren’t I also your little bitch?"
Chen Nan subconsciously swallowed and a strong desire flared up in his heart, what an evocative na!
It was hard to imagine,
this coming from the proud and graceful horoom teacher in the classroom.
Just as the elevator was about to reach his floor, Chen Nan rembered Nie Xiaoyu and imdiately said, "Teacher Zhu, there’s sothing I need to tell you."
"I’m sharing an apartnt with soone else now. She was a classmate of mine, also a forr academic ace!"
"However, her family suffered a great misfortune two years ago, so she didn’t do well on her exams..."
He told Zhu Keren of Nie Xiaoyu’s plight, her sick grandfather she had to care for, why he took her in, and even ntioned the set of test papers he had gotten for Nie Xiaoyu the day before.
Upon learning all that Chen Nan had done for Nie Xiaoyu, Zhu Keren’s eyes showed deep admiration: "ng Ziyang once said, in obscurity, one ensures well-being alone, in prominence, one shares it with the world."
"Many people can say these words, but how many can act on them like you have?"
In the midst of this conversation,
The elevator doors opened, and the two of them exited one after another.
After unlocking the door with his fingerprint, a delicious aroma of food wafted over.
At the sa ti.
Nie Xiaoyu also ca out to greet them with a face full of enthusiasm. She was wearing an apron, her long hair tied back into a ponytail, giving off a fresh and efficient vibe.
Chen Nan smiled and introduced, "Xiaoyu, this is my current horoom teacher, Zhu Keren. She knew I had taken two years off from school and specifically ca to my ho to help tutor ."
Nie Xiaoyu politely called out a greeting to Teacher Zhu.
Zhu Keren also showed a sweet smile on her face. Although she was a teacher and was supposed to be more authoritative in front of her students,
she had just graduated from college not long ago, and she didn’t like a stern teaching style, preferring to be close with her students.
Therefore, she was very friendly and approachable in front of her students, like a friend.
Not to ntion,
this was in private, and the person was not one of her own students.
Chen Nan changed into slippers, "Teacher Zhu, this is Nie Xiaoyu, the top student of our class." He said as he took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them in front of Zhu Keren.
Nie Xiaoyu gave an embarrassed smile, "Let’s not talk about the past."
Zhu Keren took off her boots, revealing black short stocking socks that wrapped around her delicate feet, appearing like an exquisitely peerless piece of art, exuding a deadly temptation.
She frowned slightly, curiously looking towards Nie Xiaoyu, "You’re Nie Xiaoyu?"
Chen Nan couldn’t help but ask, "Teacher Zhu, have you heard of Xiaoyu before?"
"It must be a coincidence!" Zhu Keren laughed and didn’t say much more.
Nie Xiaoyu didn’t think too much of it and said politely, "Chen Nan, Teacher Zhu, I’ve already prepared the al. Let’s eat first!"
Chen Nan hmm’d in agreent, inviting Zhu Keren to sit down, while he went to the bathroom to wash his face. By the ti he ca to the dining room, Nie Xiaoyu had already served the food.
There were four dishes on the table: stead bass, braised prawns, double-cooked pork, and a papaya peanut chicken feet soup.
It looked very sumptuous.
Chen Nan picked up his chopsticks, sat in front of Zhu Keren, and began to enjoy the delicious al.
The al itself was quite delicious.
Let alone having both a beautiful school flower and a gorgeous teacher sitting in front of him.
This made Chen Nan feel as if he had reached the pinnacle of life, and a shallow smile naturally erged on his face.
Seemingly thinking of sothing, Chen Nan curiously looked at Nie Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, have you done those test papers?"
Nie Xiaoyu, "I only did the Chinese and math papers."
Chen Nan nodded slightly, "After eating, let’s have Teacher Zhu go over them."
Nie Xiaoyu forced a smile, "Even if they are all correct, what’s the point?" she said, lowering her head and quietly eating her rice.
Chen Nan hesitated, and the words that had reached his lips were swallowed back down.
He really wanted to say, if your grades remain as stable as ever, I can totally pull so strings to let you retake the exam.
But...
Everything still depended on Nie Xiaoyu’s grades.
If her current performance was a ss, then there would be no need for a retest.
"I’m done eating."
Zhu Keren put down her chopsticks with a satisfied face; it was the most comfortable al she had had in a while.
"I’m done too," Chen Nan also set down his chopsticks, then looked at Nie Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, I’m going back to my room to have Teacher Zhu help
with my studies."
"After you finish cleaning up, continue to work on other test papers in your room. When Teacher Zhu is done tutoring , she can help go over them with you!"
Saying so, he pretended to be calm as he and Zhu Keren entered the bedroom.
And in that mont the door closed, their fervent gazes intertwined, holding each other in an embrace that said it all without a word...
