After hearing Xiaobao’s voice, Nanchen figured there likely wasn’t anything urgent, probably just about the day-time sports meet. He listened for a while then turned the faucet back on to wash the dishes.
The conversation nearby continued.
...
"Sis-in-law, come watch me run~ I’m super fast~"
After a bit of chit-chat, Xiaobao briefly introduced his school’s sports meet to Yu Ting, then said.
Yu Ting promptly agreed: "Mm-hmm, I’ll definitely come that day to cheer you on."
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, that settles it then~ Xiaobao is going to sleep now, sis-in-law, you should also sleep early~"
"Huh, and your brother should get some sleep when he’s done with housework~"
After Xiaobao finished saying these two sentences, he quickly hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Yu Ting turned off the phone screen and held it in her hand, waving it at Nanchen, "I’ll hold onto your phone for now, just in case there are more updates."
"Mm."
...
A few days later.
The rare mid-term exams for a few subjects were taken, and Yu Ting’s results came out quite fast, only 4 days after the exam.
points, a close pass.
At least she passed, Yu Ting did not have grand ambitions in studying.
Ning Xuan, 53 points, failure.
Comparatively, Song Zhan, who was juggling company duties while studying, also had...
points, a fail.
Upon finding out their results along with the re-examination schedule, Ning Xuan and Song Zhan:...
Especially after learning that he failed and hearing Yu Ting passed with 62 points, Song Zhan felt quite upset. The feeling like ’we said we would go together as brothers, but you sneaked off’, he made a phone call to Yu Ting.
"Weren’t you out on a business trip and attending an event recently? How come you still passed?"
Upon answering the call, Yu Ting heard the tragic, heroic tone of Song Zhan and calmly responded: "My husband tutored me for a few days."
Song Zhan:...
"Tutored for a few days?"
"Four days."
"Four days 62 points?" Song Zhan asked for confirmation again.
After all, if he fails the re-examination, he will have to retake the entire course. It was a major issue.
Dammit, if he had to retake, he would have to take classes with the sophomores when he becomes a junior in the second half of the year.
Yu Ting gave a precise answer.
After hanging up, Song Zhan was silent for a while.
...
...
...
After pondering, Song Zhan called Nanchen directly.
A four-day crash course resulting in 62 points was quite tempting.
The phone rang a few times before being picked up, Song Zhan got straight to the point: "Are you free? I want to study with you for a few days, I failed my exam."
"It’s me."
Compared to Song Zhan’s somewhat insecure and heavy tone, Yu Ting spoke lightly and briskly.
Song Zhan:...
"Let Nanchen come on the phone! You’re no help."
Song Zhan sounded annoyed, there’s just too much on his plate.
There are so many things to handle at the company, and now he has to retake an exam.
Damn.
"Why are you being rude."
After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, there came Nanchen’s deeper voice, revealing the rate he once charged in a tutoring center, "200 per hour."
Song Zhan:...
"With your wife earning so much, do you need to make this 100, 200."
"I do."
"Need the money for groceries."
Song Zhan:...
Song Zhan decided to ask someone else and planned to deliberate whether to study with Nanchen after failing to find another person.
After hanging up the call, he scrolled through his contact list.
Needed someone both highly educated and reliable...
After thinking it over, Song Zhan figured that his beloved brother was the most reliable.
He sent a message to Song Yue on WeChat.
Song Zhan: oh~ my dear brother.
