Shen Anyan then explained the concept of sets to the other party. This part looked complicated, but as long as you understand the concept, it will be much easier to understand.

As she spoke, she listed the relationship diagram on the manuscript paper, and gave examples to aid understanding after each one.

Lu Zhou's eyes lit up as he listened, his expression of bewilderment changing. When the other person finished, he excitedly exclaimed, "Oh—I get it! It's so simple!"

Shen Anyan said: "Really? Then do a few more questions to consolidate your knowledge."

She had assigned the other person some exercises to do and was just about to take a break when the student at the table in front of her suddenly came over and asked a little embarrassedly, "Hey, Mr. Scholar, so whichever direction the inverted U with a dash points to indicates which set is larger, right?"

Shen Anyan silently complained in his heart, what a tacky title for a "student god"! The people in this class must have read too many online novels. But he still answered dutifully, "Yes."

She thought about it and added, according to the other party's statement: "Two sets with only one dash can be equal. The one below is not equal to the symbol, which is true inclusion and cannot be equal."

The student sitting in front of him sighed happily. Seeing that the oldest student was surprisingly easy to talk to, he shamelessly asked, "Well, God of Learning, I still don't quite understand. What are elements? Why are they being picked out individually one moment and then put in a collection the next?"

The student sitting across from me sighed and said, "Your Excellency has explained it so clearly, and you still don't understand? It's amazing that you're so close. An element is just a number in a set! I've understood it all after listening for a while."

Only then did Shen Anyan notice that when she was explaining the problem to Lu Zhou, the students around her seemed to be listening attentively.

She patiently re-explained the definitions and relationships between elements and sets. Afterward, she whispered to Lu Zhou with amusement, "Are the people in your class so eager to learn?"

Lu Zhou smiled and said, "That depends on who the teacher is. If it's Teacher Xiaoyan, then I'll be eager to learn."

The reason for everyone's eagerness to learn was simple. Most of them found it novel. After all, they were used to listening to the teacher's lectures, and suddenly someone their own age, a prominent figure in their grade, showed up, and they naturally became more interested. Furthermore, Shen Anyan's lectures were excellent, and the collections theory wasn't too difficult, so everyone naturally understood. They couldn't help but feel the same aspirations as Lu Zhou, "So this is what math problems are all about?" Their interest in the subject intensified.

The concepts were explained clearly, and the rest of the time was spent on practicing and explaining the questions. While Shen Anyan was waiting for the other party to finish the questions, the phone in his bag vibrated slightly.

She clicked it and saw that it was Shi Yincheng.

The other party sent her a physics problem and asked her if she had time to explain it.

Shen Anyan took a quick look and quickly came up with an idea. She took a piece of paper and neatly wrote down the solution, then took a photo and sent it to the other party.

Feast: [Image]

Feast: Do you understand? Do you need to call to talk?

Music City: [nods]

Music City: I can understand it, thank you Sister Xiaoyan!

Shen Anyan glanced at the time. It was just past nine o'clock. She sent a message asking: Are you going home today?

The other side sent a message quickly.

Music City: I brought my phone to school. But don't worry, Sister Yan, I won't play with it secretly. I'm just using it to look up questions. I spent half an hour thinking about this physics problem today and couldn't figure it out. I can't find it online either. I can't sleep because I can't figure it out.

Shen Anyan still trusted Shi Yincheng's self-control. She sent a message: "Okay, I know. Go to sleep quickly. You have classes tomorrow."

The other party sent a good night emoticon, and the top of the chat interface showed that the other party was offline.

Lu Zhou noticed the other person's situation and asked curiously, "Who are you chatting with?"

He glanced at the manuscript paper filled with formulas on the table and said casually, "This math problem looks quite unique, with the pictures and so many letters."

Shen Anyan: ...

She suddenly felt that her journey as a tutor was long and arduous.

"My other tutoring student." Shen Anyan didn't dwell on this question too much. After all, dwelling too much would easily make him angry, so he only answered the other party's previous question.

Lu Zhou stopped working on the question after hearing this. He asked with a hint of jealousy, "Besides me, do you have other tutoring students?"

Shen Anyan said: "After all, your recruitment seemed quite unreliable at the time, so I have to leave myself some way out."

Lu Zhou rubbed his nose, remembering his earlier feat of forcing over a dozen tutors to leave. He couldn't bear the grudge any longer, so he pretended to be casual and asked, "How many students do you have as tutors?"

Shen Anyan said: "Including you, there are two."

Lu Zhou felt relieved and asked, "Is the other one a girl or a boy? How old are they? Is they also in our school?"

Shen Anyan was speechless: "Why are you checking my household registration? She's a girl, she's just in the third year of junior high school, and she's not in this school. I'll probably stop teaching her after she takes the high school entrance exam."

Hearing it was a girl, Lu Zhou was no longer jealous. He flattered her, "The student you teach will definitely get first place in the city's high school entrance exam."

Shen Anyan liked to hear this, she smiled and said: "I'll give you some good words."

Lu Zhou cheered the other person up, then secretly began to think about his own little thoughts: "Then... Teacher Xiaoyan, after you finish teaching her, can you stop accepting private tutors?"

Shen Anyan glanced at the other party and said with a smile: "Why, do you want to buy out my tutoring business?"

Lu Zhou said, "Isn't that possible? I just want to be your only student."

Shen Anyan thought about it and decided that she wouldn't be staying here for long anyway, and the salary the Lu family gave her was enough for her to spend, so she nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I won't accept any other students from now on."

Shen Anyan was worried about Gu Cijiang. The next day when he arrived at school, he did not go to his own class first, but went to take a look at the class next door.

After confirming that the other party was in school today, she went back to class with peace of mind.

Boyfriend... well, not really a boyfriend yet. So how do you comfort someone you like when they're angry?

Shen Anyan was in a dilemma.

There were few male students in her class, which was a bit of a problem. She couldn't even find a boy to ask for help.

Shen Anyan had no choice but to turn his gaze to the surroundings.

"Have any of you ever been in love?"

He Qingtian had just returned to his seat when he heard his deskmate utter such a shocking statement.

Lin Yue touched his chin: "Dating? Uh... how about dating badminton? My only true love is my badminton racket."

Chen Shan said, "We talked... we did, but does that count with the paper man?"

Shen Anyan: "...Forget it, just treat it as me talking in my sleep."

He Qingtian sat back in his seat and saw that the other party looked distressed, so he asked, "Did you have a fight with Gu Cijiang?"

Shen Anyan said in a low voice: "It's not a quarrel... Alas... Alas... It's just..."

He Qingtian probably guessed something: "You can go look for him more often. Conflicts get worse the colder they are, and it will be resolved if you talk to him a few more times."

Shen Anyan thought it made sense. After a quick morning self-study session, she went to the next class.

"Why did you ask for leave yesterday? Are you not feeling well?"

Shen Anyan approached Gu Cijiang's table and asked in a low voice.

Gu Cijiang paused for a moment and replied simply, "Nothing."

Shen Anyan said: "If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."

Gu Cijiang said "hmm" indifferently.

The break was short, so Shen Anyan couldn't stay too long. After class, she tried to find him, but she came up empty-handed.

Li Xinran said: "He left as soon as the get out of class was over. It seemed that he went to the office to ask the teacher a question."

Shen Anyan was a little depressed.

Fortunately, the last class of the morning was math, and the teacher didn't keep us there longer. As soon as the bell rang, Shen Anyan jumped up from his seat.

Chen Yuan was organizing his lesson plan when he saw this and jokingly said, "Wow, so active. Are you hungry?"

Shen Anyan said: "Yes, a little bit. Thank you for not killing me, teacher."

There was a burst of cheerful laughter from the people around.

Chen Yuan also smiled and said, "Alright, let's go eat quickly, or you might not be able to queue up if there are too many people."

Amidst the laughter and cheers, Shen Anyan left the classroom. The class next door had just finished, and this time she had managed to catch Gu Cijiang by surprise.

"Hey, do you want to go eat together?" Shen Anyan asked.

Gu Cijiang said: "No, I still have some questions to ask, I'll go eat later."

Shen Anyan said: "What questions do you have? I'll explain them to you. Teachers must not be in the office much these days."

Gu Cijiang was silent for a moment.

"Forget it then. I'll go back to the dorm first. I'm not hungry yet."

Shen Anyan said: "Then I can bring you food, okay? What do you want to eat?"

Gu Cijiang finally compromised.

"Forget it, let's go eat together, there's no need to make such a fuss."

Shen Anyan responded happily and went to the cafeteria with the other party.

————

In the first few days, Gu Cijiang would intentionally or unintentionally avoid the other party. But under Shen Anyan's persistent and shameless offensive, he finally gave up the avoidance strategy.

After all, no one has the ability to successfully avoid meeting each other under the other party's strategy of taking advantage of every opportunity to block people.

But despite meeting and eating together, Gu Cijiang remained indifferent to Shen Anyan. Perhaps out of spite, he wasn't afraid of awkward silences. Without having to actively initiate conversation, Gu Cijiang was content to relax.

As for Shen Anyan...his perception was ridiculously poor. He didn't react to the subtleties of the other party's attitude at all. He was still thinking that Gu Cijiang had finally stopped avoiding him, and the conflict between the two had been resolved.

So, despite this coincidental misunderstanding, the two of them actually reached a wonderful balance that satisfied both of them.

————

Before evening self-study, Gu Cijiang wrote the next day's schedule on the blackboard. His hands were covered with chalk dust, so he went to the bathroom to wash them.

The restroom is the most crowded during this period before evening self-study. There is a long line at the door of the girls' restroom, but there are only a few people at the door of the men's restroom.

As soon as Gu Cijiang entered, he saw a huge crowd of people inside, even the sink was crowded with people.

He couldn't help but frown, turned around and walked out.

The bad thing about the men's restroom is that the line for the women's restroom looks long, but it's well-organized and moves quickly, taking no more than five minutes.

On the boys' side, while it seemed like there was no queue, they were actually all rushing in, squeezing in whenever they saw a vacant seat, regardless of first come, first served. As a result, no one wanted to wait outside, so they were all jammed at the door, leaving even those who wanted to come in to wash their rags and mops unable to find a place to stand.

Gu Cijiang could have taken a longer detour and washed his hands in the restroom of the art building opposite, rather than squeeze with a group of boys.

The Art Building was crowded during classes, but only students with special talents would come on weekdays. Now that it was evening study, there were even fewer people inside. Gu Cijiang walked down the corridor, only hearing the sound of his own footsteps and the faint noise coming from outside the window.

But soon, new noises arose, originating from the bathroom in front. From inside came the sounds of boys playing and a little crying.

Gu Cijiang paused, he vaguely realized what it was.

He hesitated for a moment, then walked in.

Several boys gathered together, kicking and shoving the boy in the middle of them, grinning and trying to shove his head into the urinal.

Gu Cijiang knocked on the door and called out to the others, "The teacher is coming."

The boys inside hurriedly stopped what they were doing, looked at each other, and hurried out of the toilet. One of them even patted Gu Cijiang on the shoulder and said, "Thanks, brother."

After everyone had walked away, Gu Cijiang finally looked at the boy who had been beaten. He was obese, his hair clinging to his scalp in clumps. His exposed skin was covered in bruises, redness, and swelling, and he exuded a foul odor.

It was hard for Gu Cijiang to have any good feelings towards this kind of person, but seeing how pitiful the other person was, out of sympathy, he still asked one more question: "Do you need me to take you to find a teacher?"

The boy ignored him and curled up into a ball, crawling on his legs and crying, his breathing so loud that it sounded like he was howling.

Now Gu Cijiang didn't know what to do. Seeing that the other party would not recover for a while, he hesitated for a moment, but decided not to meddle in other people's business and turned away.
