He recalled Yu Ting’s earnest promise a few minutes ago: ’I will study hard, aiming to fail less subjects.’
Lu Nanchen:...
For her, studying is as hard as climbing to heaven.
In the late afternoon, as the temperature dropped a bit, Lu Nanchen sat next to Yu Ting, who had fallen asleep for a few minutes. He had a mix of fond annoyance and amusement, and then gave her a light pat.
Really.
"Be careful not to catch a cold while sleeping, wake up."
...
After four days of intensive tutoring from Lu Nanchen, Yu Ting was met with the mid-term exam for this subject.
In the morning, she had breakfast made by Lu Nanchen, departed from Lu Nanchen’s house, and arrived at the examination hall with him.
Checking that she had brought all her papers and pens, Yu Ting waved to Lu Nanchen and said, "I’m off to the exam then."
"Hmm."
Lu Nanchen responded with a smile.
Yu Ting continued, "See you in half an hour."
The examination time was set for two hours, which means Yu Ting planned to finish and hand in her exam paper 30 minutes into the exam!
Hearing the latter half, Lu Nanchen’s swaying hand faltered: ...
After a moment of blankness, Lu Nanchen finally said, "Don’t let me see you within an hour."
Yu Ting waved her hand as if she hadn’t heard him and headed for the exam room.
Lu Nanchen, who had resigned, was once again appearing inside the school, attracting the attention of many passing students.
"Ah... Why are you here, Mr. Lu? Aren’t you teaching anymore?"
Lu Nanchen gave a polite answer, "I’m not teaching anymore, I’ve resigned, currently waiting for my wife to finish her test."
"Oh, okay."
The student who got the clear response from Lu Nanchen, tactfully left for their class.
After standing around for a while, Lu Nanchen noticed someone in the crowd was staring at him with intense eyes. When Lu Nanchen looked back in their direction, he recognized a familiar figure.
The male student who had the same six make-up exams with Yu Ting last time. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Lu Nanchen: ...
The male student came out from the bustling crowd, ran in front of Lu Nanchen, and gave him a once-over.
The same place, the same posture...
"Mr. Lu, are you waiting for your wife’s make-up exam again?"
That’s strange. The finals aren’t here yet, what could she be making up? I wasn’t aware of it.
Lu Nanchen: ...
"No, I’m waiting for my wife’s mid-term exam."
"Oh, that’s tough, which teacher is organising a mid-term exam?"
The male student exclaimed and wasn’t in a hurry to leave, intending to continue chatting with Lu Nanchen.
Just as he was about to speak, Lu Nanchen’s mobile phone in his pocket started vibrating.
Ding-Ding-Ding.
A call came in.
The male student glanced at Lu Nanchen’s pocket, then gave up, waved and said, "Then I’ll go first, Mr. Lu."
"Alright."
Lu Nanchen answered quickly, then took out his phone.
Caller ID: Uncle.
Swipe right to answer.
Lu Nanchen asked first, "What’s up, Uncle?"
"Just calling to chat, Xiaobao kept telling us he misses both of you."
"Okay, Uncle."
Lu Nanchen replied, then they chatted for three or four minutes. The call was then handed over to Lu Xiaobao, Lu Nanchen faintly heard his rustling voice on the other side.
"Daddy told me to talk to Big Brother, let me talk to him, let me."
"I will."
The child’s voice came through clearer from the receiver.
"Big Brother!"
"Hey."
Lu Nanchen responded, standing upright in the corridor, with the other hand naturally hanging down his side, half clenched.
"Next Friday, my school is holding a sports day. You and Sister-in-Law must come to cheer for me~"
