Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Since Niu Linxin didn't want to study, Wang Xiaohua focused on tutoring Wang Xiaoqian.

That was even better, saving trouble and worry.

When Wang Xiaohua tutored Wang Xiaoqian, Wang Xiaoqian studied with full concentration.

Over the course of an afternoon, she felt she had gained quite a lot.

Knowledge points she had previously fallen behind on due to playing around were now gradually being picked back up.

Moreover, under Wang Xiaohua's teaching, she was able to better understand the principles behind those knowledge points, so she remembered them more deeply and could apply them more flexibly.

Wang Xiaohua gave a few problems to test Wang Xiaoqian's learning results, and Wang Xiaoqian actually got them all right.

"Xiaoqian, looks like your learning ability is still pretty strong. These few problems are considered upper-middle difficulty for junior high students; didn't expect you to actually be able to solve them."

Wang Xiaoqian received the praise, revealing a brilliant smile, her heart full of a sense of achievement, and thus had even more motivation to study.

"That's all because you taught well, Brother Xiaohua. I couldn't understand when the teacher taught me, but as soon as you taught me, I understood."

Just then, the sound of a door opening came from outside the living room.

"Probably Aunt Xiaofang is back, hurry and call Lin Xin!"

Wang Xiaoqian hurriedly walked out of the study, pushed open Niu Linxin's bedroom door, but discovered Niu Linxin was lying on the bed playing mobile phone games.

"Lin Xin, weren't you sleeping? How come you're playing on your phone?"

Wang Xiaoqian was somewhat powerless to retort.

Niu Linxin just said:

"Just woke up not long ago, thought I'd play a bit to wake up a bit more."

Actually she hadn't slept at all, had been playing games the whole time.

Wang Xiaoqian hurriedly said:

"Your mom's back, hurry up and come study!"

Only then did Niu Linxin get nervous.

She immediately threw down her phone, with lightning speed, ran to the study, came before Wang Xiaohua and sat down, looking like she was seriously doing homework.

"I'm back! Lin Xin, how's your studying going?"

Lin Xiaofang's voice came from outside the living room.

Lin Xiaofang was changing shoes in front of the shoe cabinet.

After changing shoes she went to the kitchen, put the dishes she bought into the refrigerator.

Only then did she come to the study to check the situation.

Seeing Niu Linxin studying seriously, Lin Xiaofang revealed a relieved expression.

"Mom, I'm concentrating on doing problems right now, don't come disturb me!"

Niu Linxin put on an appearance of bitter contemplation.

Wang Xiaohua and Wang Xiaoqian looked on, both at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

This little drama queen, she's too good at acting!

"Alright alright, Mom won't disturb you, Mom will go make dinner, tonight I'll make your favorite sweet and sour spare ribs!"

Lin Xiaofang said so with a smile.

Then turned and went to the kitchen to busy herself.

Lin Xiaofang had just left the study door.

Niu Linxin immediately said to Wang Xiaohua in a commanding tone:

"Hurry up and go close the study door!"

Wang Xiaohua's face showed a complex smile, then he obediently complied, going to close the study door.

This room door's soundproofing effect is very good.

When the door wasn't closed, one could clearly hear Lin Xiaofang busy in the kitchen; the moment the door closed, the sound immediately vanished without a trace.

"Deceiving your parents like this isn't too good, is it?"

Wang Xiaohua still couldn't help but say a sentence.

"None of your business!" Niu Linxin rolled her eyes sky-high.

Wang Xiaoqian came over to help persuade:

"Lin Xin, this really isn't good, we still have to study properly. After all, your dad spent so much money hiring Brother Xiaohua to teach you. If one day your dad wants to test your learning results and you can't answer anything, wouldn't that be exposing the act?"

Hearing this, Niu Linxin also felt Wang Xiaoqian's words made a bit of sense.

If her dad tested her learning results and she knew nothing, she'd be finished.

So she said to Wang Xiaohua:

"Then I'll reluctantly study a bit with you, but don't give me such difficult problems."

Wang Xiaohua was quite speechless, acting as if Niu Linxin studying with him was a favor bestowed on him.

"How about I go tell your dad the truth, that you don't want to study with me, and let him find someone more capable."

Wang Xiaohua had already grown dissatisfied with Niu Linxin.

With her attitude, she wants to study but Wang Xiaohua doesn't want to teach anymore.

However, Niu Linxin said:

"Don't, are you trying to get me killed? My dad specifically hired you; if you quit on your own initiative, my dad will definitely blame me! He might even beat me!"

Wang Xiaohua spread his hands:

"Missy, so what exactly do you want?"

Niu Linxin said:

"I'll study with you when I have time; you just help me deal with my parents."

Wang Xiaohua let out a long breath of turbid air.

He thought to himself, if Lin Xiaofang found out, wouldn't she scold him to death?

Lin Xiaofang already had opinions about him to begin with.

Actually, he didn't want to teach Niu Linxin either; Niu Linxin's attitude was no good, teaching her would be a waste of effort.

But he very much wanted to earn that ten thousand yuan, so in the end he reluctantly agreed.

"Then you set aside at least two hours every day to study seriously with me; the rest of the time is up to you. When your parents come to inspect your learning results, I'll give them the questions you've studied."

Wang Xiaohua said so.

"Deal, it's settled then!"

Niu Linxin agreed readily.

In a blink, it was six o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Xiaofang in the kitchen was already just about done.

Several dishes had already been served onto the dining table.

Niu Chunsheng had just returned from the company; the first thing he did upon returning was come to ask about Niu Linxin's learning situation.

"Daughter, how was the studying today?"

Niu Linxin said resolutely:

"It went great; Xiao Hua Ge's teaching method is too amazing, I understand as soon as I listen!"

"Really?" Niu Chunsheng glanced at Wang Xiaoqian and Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Xiaohua smiled politely without speaking.

Wang Xiaoqian, on the other hand, nodded in agreement, helping to cover the lie:

"Indeed, Xiao Hua Ge's teaching method, I also learned very easily."

What Wang Xiaoqian said wasn't actually a lie; she followed Wang Xiaohua to study, and indeed learned quite easily.

Previously missed knowledge points have all been made up for now.

"That's good. Xiao Hua, you've worked hard."

Niu Chunsheng hurriedly thanked him, then also said:

"Tomorrow is the 25th; I heard that after 12 noon on the 25th, the college entrance exam scores can be checked. At that time, you can use the computer in my room to check, so you won't have to run to an internet cafe to check."

"Okay, Uncle Chunsheng, thank you."

"You child, what's with the politeness with me? Stay for dinner tonight!" Niu Chunsheng was very enthusiastic.

Wang Xiaohua, however, declined:

"Better not; I made plans with high school classmates to go out to eat. After eating, I'll be back at seven o'clock, and then I'll continue tutoring Lin Xin and Xiaoqian."

Niu Chunsheng's brows furrowed slightly; he wanted to speak but stopped, and finally said:

"Then alright, the classmate gathering is more important."

Wang Xiaohua glanced at the dining table outside; Lin Xiaofang had already finished cooking all the dishes.

He then hurriedly stood up to say goodbye and leave:

"I'm leaving first; can't let my classmates wait too long. Goodbye, Uncle; goodbye, Lin Xin; goodbye, Xiaoqian!"

After Wang Xiaohua stood up and left.

Niu Chunsheng came to Lin Xiaofang's side in the kitchen, helped fetch bowls and chopsticks, and muttered softly:

"When I wasn't home, did you say something to that Wang Xiaohua?"

Lin Xiaofang felt baffled:

"What would I say to him? I didn't say anything."

Niu Chunsheng, however, countered:

"You didn't say anything to him, so why would he make an excuse to refuse when I asked him to stay for dinner?"

Lin Xiaofang was speechless:

"How would I know? Qingyun and I went shopping this afternoon; I didn't say a single word to him. Maybe he just simply doesn't want to eat with us."

Niu Chunsheng sighed and didn't say anything more.

He only said:

"Tomorrow at noon the college entrance exam scores come out; I'm having Xiao Hua use my computer in my room to check. You must not be unwilling about this."

Lin Xiaofang indeed felt a bit unwilling in her heart, but still said:

"Okay okay okay, do I look that petty to you?"
