Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Suspicions Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Suspicions The two of them discussed the matter of salaries again, and Lu Siyuan thought that since Brother Jun used to be a soldier and his injuries were from that ti, he wanted to offer a higher salary.
Shen Mianmian had no objections and happily reached an agreent with him.
On the penultimate day before the middle school examination, the tension in studies was so high that everyone felt sowhat repressed. Li Qiui, based on her many years of teaching experience, summarized a lot of topics that were likely to be examined and even spot-checked a few students with better academic performance to recite texts.
Put plainly, she focused all her attention on these students. As for those who were poor in studies, in her view, scoring a few more points didn’t make much of a difference.
As for Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan, she had long given up on them.
In contrast, Chen Jie was much fairer. After discussing so topics that might be tested, he also gave the students so ti to ask questions, inviting them to bring up subjects they were not good at, which he would then explain again.
This was a great opportunity, but so students were introverted and didn’t dare to ask, while others had resigned themselves to not getting into high school and couldn’t be bothered to inquire.
The afternoon classes went by quickly. Lu Siyuan and Shen Mianmian packed up their things and left the classroom. Shen Mianmian, as usual, waited at the school gate for Lu Siyuan to push his cart out, only to bump into Zhou Siyu, who was leaving with Zhao Xinlan.
They walked together, speaking in low voices about sothing that seed to be troubling them both, their expressions sowhat grave. They almost collided with her before they noticed she was there.
“Why aren’t you going ho? What are you doing here?” Upon seeing Shen Mianmian, Zhou Siyu looked a bit flustered, “I told you at noon that you don’t need to co with .”
Zhao Xinlan quickly added, “My uncle doesn’t tutor outsiders, so don’t think about mooching off his lessons.”
Upon hearing what they said, Shen Mianmian realized there had been a misunderstanding. She sneered, “Which eye of yours saw that I was waiting for you?”
“Then you…”
Zhou Siyu opened her mouth to ask why she was there, but before the words could leave her mouth, she realized she was being paranoid and had overthought the situation. The words that were about to co out changed to,
“As long as it’s not that.”
After saying this, she hurried off with Zhao Xinlan, pushing the cart, afraid that Shen Mianmian would follow her. They even looked back uneasily around the corner to check if Shen Mianmian was still there and finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her standing still.
Lu Siyuan ca over pushing his cart and saw Shen Mianmian standing there, spacing out. He knocked on her forehead, “What are you thinking about?”
“I just bumped into Siyu. She’s going to get tutoring with Zhao Xinlan,” Shen Mianmian casually ntioned the incident and asked, “Does Zhao Xinlan have an uncle who teaches?”
If Zhou Siyu’s academic performance were placed in the 21st century, it would indeed be considered good. But now, trying to get into No. 3 Middle School was a bit of a stretch, yet in her previous life, she was admitted to No. 2 Middle School.
Back then, she was busy with work every day and didn’t have ti to pay attention to many things, and she didn’t rember much either.
Now it seed that soone had been helping Zhou Siyu with tutoring, which explained the sudden improvent in her grades and her admission to No. 2 Middle School.
However, as far as she knew, Zhao Xinlan didn’t have an uncle who was a teacher. If she had one, given Zhao Xinlan’s personality, she would surely brag about it every day.
But the current situation was that the two of them were acting like thieves, not ntioning it at all in class.
“I’m not too sure about that.” Lu Siyuan shook his head, “Where do I have the mind to pay attention to her?”
He found Zhao Xinlan annoying.
Shen Mianmian gave him a sidelong glance and suddenly realized that knowing so gossips might actually have its advantages, at least in terms of having more sources of information.
