Chapter 984: Misjudged, the one I like is you
The Secretary came in to report: "Chairman, Teacher Huang is here again."
Sheng Hanyu frowned.
"What is he here for again?"
"To bring you food."
The Secretary also found it strange; this tutor was a bit too enthusiastic toward the Chairman.
He didn't know what the situation was, but the tutor came at least three times a day, and once he arrived, he didn't want to leave, sitting on the sofa and looking at the Chairman with affectionate eyes!
At first, he would say a few words about the children's homework, but later he started rambling about other things.
Asking Sheng Hanyu what he liked to eat?
What hobbies he had.
Sheng Hanyu would be unresponsive, and he would just look at him with mournful eyes.
Just thinking about it made goosebumps break out all over.
Sheng Hanyu recalled the scene of the tutor talking to Xuanxuan, and it wasn't that kind of look; it was just a normal gaze. Why was the look he gave him so awkward?
"Tell him to leave."
"Yes."
Just as the Secretary was about to go out, he suddenly opened the door and walked in.
"Sir, I have something I want to tell you."
Since the person had already come in, Sheng Hanyu let the Secretary leave.
He said to the tutor: "In the future, just leave me a message on WeChat regarding the children's matters; there is no need to come to the company."
Xiao Huang looked at him mournfully, his eyes brimming with tears: "I know you are very busy with work, I won't disturb you, you go ahead and be busy, but you must eat dinner well, you cannot wrong yourself..."
"Are you sick?"
"I am not sick, I just like you. I also know this is immoral, you are a man with a family, but I just can't control myself..." He simply confessed.
Sheng Hanyu was petrified.
"I cannot live without you. Actually, the first time I saw you at your house, I liked you."
"Sir, please rest assured, I only want to silently be the man behind you; I won't affect your family..."
After getting off work and arriving home, Shi Youxuan discovered that her husband was acting strange.
"What's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" She touched his forehead with her hand.
"I don't have a fever. Let me ask you something: when Xiao Huang is at home tutoring the children, is there anything unusual?"
"You are the one in charge of the children now, don't ask me, I don't know." Shi Youxuan reacted quickly; she instinctively thought her husband was jealous again and was trying to find a way to interrogate her.
Sheng Hanyu:...
"Be serious, I am talking to you about a serious matter."
"I am very serious. I really don't know. You communicate with the tutor yourself; if there is a problem with his interaction with the children, can't you tell? Why are you asking me..."
His wife was, as always, unforgiving when she had the upper hand, but this matter was no small thing.
He interrupted his wife's chatter: "Xiao Huang... likes me."
"Pfft—"
Shi Youxuan covered her mouth and giggled.
"Shouldn't you go see a psychiatrist? Why do you feel like everyone has designs on you?"
"No, I'm not joking with you. He confessed to me today."
Sheng Hanyu briefly told his wife about his "encounter" in the office.
He didn't go into too much detail because he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"Teacher Huang is gay?"
Shi Youxuan stopped laughing.
She realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Should we replace Teacher Huang?" She was unsure.
In fact, neither of the couple discriminated against gay people; everyone has their own social circles and sexual orientations, and there is no need to stand on a moral high ground and look down on others just because they are in the mainstream.
But the problem now is—the tutor is trying to turn Sheng Hanyu!
Since he could have designs on Sheng Hanyu, the couple was afraid he might have a bad influence on the children. This wasn't discrimination; it was the instinctive protection parents have for their children.
"What do you think?"
Sheng Hanyu kicked the ball back to her.
The couple rested their chins on their hands, looking at each other, silent and speechless.
This is a problem; it's not easy to handle!
Aside from confessing to Sheng Hanyu, Xiao Huang was perfectly normal in every other way, and his professional level was high; the children liked him very much.
Their academic grades had improved significantly. Such a tutor is hard to come by; even the mothers of the children's classmates were envious, waiting to hire this teacher to teach their own children.
If they replaced him, they feared the next teacher wouldn't be able to satisfy the children like he did.
But if they didn't replace him, it was also a troublesome matter!
The couple was in a dilemma. After thinking for a while, they decided together: "Let's replace him."
The couple reached a consensus, but how to tell the children was still a problem.
Shi Youxuan: "How about this, we talk to Xiao Huang first and let him come forward to say goodbye to the children, just say he has something to take care of at home."
Sheng Hanyu nodded: "Good, you go and say it."
Shi Youxuan: "Let's both say it together, so someone doesn't overthink things."
Someone:...
"Stop it, is it fun to keep teasing me about the same thing?"
Shi Youxuan: "It is fun. You are allowed to be unreasonable, but I am not allowed to keep bringing it up?"
"Oh my, my head hurts!"
In the end, it concluded with Sheng Hanyu offering an apology.
Coffee shop.
Xiao Huang arrived. Shi Youxuan stood up from her seat and waved: "Teacher Huang, over here."
"Hello, Mrs. Sheng. What kind of matter could there be that you couldn't say at home, and had to come here to say it?" His expression was somewhat unnatural, with the nervousness of someone with a guilty conscience; his eyes drifted, not daring to look directly into Shi Youxuan's eyes.
The waiter brought the menu. Shi Youxuan ordered a Blue Mountain, and Xiao Huang ordered a black coffee, no milk, no sugar.
She smiled and said nonchalantly: "My husband also only drank black coffee for a period of time, no milk, no sugar..."
Xiao Huang's gaze changed, staring at her eyes with a bit of eagerness.
He was interested in knowing everything related to Sheng Hanyu!
Shi Youxuan: "During that time, my husband and I had some misunderstandings and weren't together for a while. After we got back together, he changed that habit."
"Now, even if you made him drink coffee without sugar, he wouldn't do it. He even says it's too bitter and not something a person should drink... Sorry, I didn't mean anything else by that, it's what my husband said."
"Mm."
Xiao Huang's gaze dimmed once again.
The coffee arrived. Shi Youxuan said: "I called you here today because there is something I need to tell you. From now on, I will be the one communicating with you; you should not go look for my husband anymore."
He asked gloomily: "It was the gentleman who told you something, wasn't it?"
Shi Youxuan: "That's right. My husband and I have no secrets. Everything you said to him, he told me."
"How could he?"
A trace of resentment and unwillingness flashed through Xiao Huang's eyes.
Shi Youxuan: "Let's be frank. My husband and you are not the same kind of people, but we do not discriminate against your orientation. We respect you, and we ask that you respect us as well."
"I want to, but I can't control it."
Two crystal-clear teardrops slid down his cheeks.
Xiao Huang took the initiative to say: "Thank you, Madam. I know what you mean by finding me this time. I will tell the children that I am returning to my hometown, and I won't be able to be their teacher anymore."
"This is your bonus for these past few months, please accept it."
"No, I cannot accept it." He refused.
Shi Youxuan smiled: "Accept it. Only the three of us know about this matter. As long as you don't speak of it, my husband and I won't either. But you should not work as a tutor in Jiangzhou anymore. I wish you find your lover soon, someone who truly loves and cherishes you."
"Thank you."
After the final tutoring session, he explained to the children: "This is the last lesson I will be teaching you. I am taking a flight tonight to return to my hometown to get married."
The children were very reluctant to let him go.
