Chapter 43
Tuesday morning self-study, originally the golden time for everyone to copy homework, the chemistry teacher walked in ahead of time, occupying the class openly.
Senior year is like this, occupying students' time doesn't need the students' consent, just need to win the PK with other teachers.
Zhai Da had been advancing in all subjects recently, gradually touching the tail of the current curriculum, occasionally pulling away from the "copying cause" to listen to the teacher's lecture properly.
Honestly speaking, unlike subjects like English and Chinese, science subjects aren't enough just by rote memorization, they really need "understanding" and "application."
This was also why Zhai Da had been thinking about this little tutor before Lu Wei became his roommate.
If the plan worked, he would possess a third "little attachment" besides the two big cheats [Old Man TV] and [Literary Girl's Pen].
The all-around science king of the previous generation.
"Zhai Da, what you want."
During the break, Wu Yue handed a stack of discs as thick as a hamburger to Zhai Da.
This action immediately attracted the attention of people around.
A few bold boys leaned over with a cheap smile: "Holy shit! So ruthless! Can you finish watching? Give me two?"
Zhai Da pulled out a few duplicates and threw them over: "Remember to watch secretly under the quilt at night, don't turn the sound too loud."
"Is it exciting? Western or Japanese/Korean?"
"Domestic."
The other party took it with a lecherous laugh, until seeing "Huzhilin Takes You to Learn Physics" written on the disc.
A face like he’d eaten shit.
Ignoring these people who didn't do human things, Zhai Da put away the remaining discs; this basically collected the materials for all subjects.

At the dinner table in the evening, Lu Wei and Zhai Da looked at each other.
The sharp Ms. Yu immediately captured it.
These two must be hiding something from her.
After dinner, Yu Xiaoli took the key ring and shouted in a high-pitched voice:
"That, I'm going out to dance square dance, won't be back before eleven."
Finally added: "If I come back, I'll open the door myself, and I won't knock on your room doors."
Zhai Da, who had just finished washing the dishes and was wiping his hands, asked suspiciously: "When did you learn to dance square dance? Aren't you the most annoyed by those busybody aunties?"
Yu Xiaoli: "Can't I watch people dance even if I don't know how...?"
Said, giving Zhai Da a complex look: I'm creating conditions for you, but don't take too big a step.
Then she went downstairs.
Only Lu Wei and Zhai Da were left looking at each other in the house.
One didn't understand, one understood too well, so it wasn't very awkward.
Zhai Da pondered: "Then... learn in my place?"
Lu Wei nodded, saying shamefully: "I... don't have textbooks."
Zhai Da waved his hand: "It's okay, just bring your little brain."
The two walked into the room, and Zhai Da found his room wasn't much more spacious than Lu Wei's; the bed, cabinet, and desk occupied most of the space, especially the desk was for one person, Lu Wei could only squeeze to the side, or simply stand behind and guide like a teacher.
Considering the time wouldn't be short, letting her stretch her neck was actually torture, so Zhai Da decided to go to the living room.
Moved a chair over.
This was even more crowded.
When both were sitting, Lu Wei's legs had nowhere to put, and could only press against Zhai Da's knees.
On the right was the wall, on the left was Zhai Da, behind was the chair back, and in front was the desk.
Like a small prison.
The all-around science king kept her head very low.
Zhai Da smacked his lips: "Hmm... conditions are a bit hard, I'll fix a small stool without a backrest later, the dining table chair is too wide."
Didn't choose to be in the living room outside, purely because tutoring would be a long-term job, and Yu Xiaoli couldn't go out wandering blindly every day, no need to affect each other.
Being close, Zhai Da felt even more clearly how thin Lu Wei was; her wrist was only the width of his three fingers. The blood vessels under the pale skin were clearly visible.
Thinking of the bitter life this girl had lived before, he sighed in his heart.
Take it slow, always can feed some meat.
It was his first time tutoring in two lives, also a bit strange. He took out the math textbook from his schoolbag and handed it to Lu Wei, then took out today's math homework: a test paper.
"Let's find a method, you flip through the textbook to review first, I'll do the problems normally, if I encounter something I don't know, I'll ask you, you explain it to me, how about that?"
Lu Wei nodded.
Zhai Da kept his mouth shut for now and did the problems, exploring the mode of this tutor with Lu Wei little by little.
"If x, y, z satisfy x-2y+3z=0, then..."
Any test paper's first half, the difficulty was the lowest. Zhai Da calmed down and could do it too. In the room, gradually there was only the sound of Zhai Da writing.
It's just that the speed was a bit slow...
Without knowing it, there was only the sound of Zhai Da writing in the room.
After finishing the "giveaway questions" in the teacher's mouth, an hour had passed.
Zhai Da was in trouble with the first question of the solution problem.
"This geometry proof question, can you take a look for me?"
Lu Wei didn't respond, but something touched his shoulder.
Turning to look, this girl had fallen asleep at some point.
Zhai Da knew it like the back of his hand; the textile factory had been very free recently, but it shouldn't include Lu Wei, who had too many things to learn, and various practices should be non-stop.
Plus, maybe because the environment was unfamiliar at night, and she was afraid of disturbing him next door, she didn't sleep soundly either.
Looking from this angle, the slender eyelashes and tender white nose were clearly visible.
Even because she slept very securely, she looked better than the usual state of being careful.
Zhai Da could only skip the questions he didn't know, and his movements were much smaller. Without knowing it, Lu Wei grabbed Zhai Da's clothes with her small hand.
Occasionally moving slightly in her sleep, finally grabbing Zhai Da's little belly.
Zhai Da looked down and fell into silence.
What's wrong with this girl, likes pinching people's bellies?
"Cough cough."
Zhai Da could only cough slightly.
Lu Wei woke up in a second, the whole person shrinking back into her "small prison."
"Sorry... I... fell asleep"
Zhai Da took the initiative: "How about you go back to rest first, tutoring starts tomorrow."
Lu Wei shook her head hurriedly, but her brain was indeed dizzy, finally saying firmly: "I'll take a shower, wake up."
After saying that, she didn't wait for Zhai Da to persuade her again, got up, pushed the chair back, and went out the door.
Zhai Da paused for a moment and continued doing the problems.
Outside the door, there were one or two sounds, and after about ten minutes, Lu Wei changed into loose home clothes, her pale skin flushed with a bit of rouge color because of the shower.
Then sat back in her "small prison," leaning forward: "Let me see, this question... is testing function monotonicity and constant establishment problems.... set f(x)≥0 constant establishment...."
Lu Wei finally started to perform the work of a tutor; these contents seemed to be something she could easily understand at a glance, and her explanation wasn't how deep and shallow, but very clear and explicit.
It's just...
Zhai Da's nose moved.
This tutor... so fragrant!
The faint scent of shampoo and soap, with a slight water vapor, drilling into his nostrils, damn it..
The loose T-shirt revealed a section of slender neck.
Can't study like this!
Zhai Da was a bit stiff, not because of the awkwardness of a teenager, but because of the restraint of an adult.
Lu Wei waited for a long time without waiting for Zhai Da's response, lifted her head suspiciously, and Zhai Da had actually closed his eyes.
Said softly: "You... sleepy?"
Zhai Da made a sound with his nose, otherwise what? Say I want to sleep?
Lu Wei thought about it, and said tentatively: "Want to touch my hand..."
She had always remembered that before moving into Zhai Da's house, when the other party persuaded her to come home for dinner, he said he wanted to touch her hand.
Zhai Da broke his defense in a second, glared at this guy, and pushed Lu Wei's smooth forehead with two fingers.
Too close...
Forget it, forget it, young and not hardworking, old and... Zhai Da patted his face.
"I'm going to take a shower too! Wake up."
Humph, I'm going to use double soap, and make you fragrant and confused too.
Zhai Da walked out.
After a while, pushed the door open and added: "Only showering."
Bang, the door closed again.
Lu Wei curled up in the small prison and was stunned, clearly didn't understand the subtext.
The first day of tutoring class seemed to have progressed a bit slowly.
But it seemed not bad either.
