Chapter 59 (Fifty-Nine Updates)
59:
For a whole week, Mu Shaoyan was completely arranged by Ye Qingxi.
From Monday to Friday, I do practice tests; on Saturday and Sunday, I memorize classical Chinese poems and English vocabulary.
Even when Ye Qingxi went to her martial arts class on Saturday, she didn't forget to wake him up before leaving to cheer him on.
Mu Shaoyan: ...
Mu Shaoyan felt that he hadn't felt this fulfilled in a long time.
On Monday, he called Duan Yi out again and asked him physics questions that he couldn't answer.
Duan Yi explained it to him twice in a detached tone.
Mu Shaoyan didn't understand, "Why do the friction and gravity cancel each other out here? Didn't you say in the previous question that they couldn't cancel each other out?"
Duan Yi: ...
Duan Yi sighed, “Of course the situations are different.”
"How is it different?" Mu Shaoyan was even more confused.
Duan Yi had no choice but to explain it to him again.
Halfway through his explanation, the school bell rang, and Duan Yi turned around and walked towards the classroom.
Mu Shaoyan followed him, thinking that things couldn't go on like this; the break time between classes was still too short.
Thinking this, he silently raised his eyes and stared at the person in front of him—after these few days of testing, Duan Yi truly lived up to his reputation as the top student in the grade. He could handle all kinds of difficult problems in various subjects, and the two of them spent most of their time together, so he could ask questions at any time.
so!
Mu Shaoyan has made up his mind; he will hire Duan Yi as his tutor!
He cornered Duan Yi at the stairwell during the second break and told him about it.
Duan Yi: ...
"Don't worry," Mu Shaoyan said, "You set the tutoring fee, whatever you say, I'll make sure you're satisfied."
That's right, the young master of the Mu family has no shortage of money.
"No," Duan Yi refused.
"Why?" Mu Shaoyan didn't understand.
"I don't go to other people's houses for lessons."
Now in his final year of high school, Duan Yi's mother forbade him from doing any part-time work, including tutoring.
When Duan Yi was in his first and second years of high school, he took on several part-time jobs teaching junior high students. When his senior year of high school started, he quit them all because he didn't want his mother to worry.
"Then I'll go to your house." Mu Shaoyan didn't seem to care much about that.
Upon hearing this, Duan Yi thought about it for a moment and decided that it wasn't entirely impossible.
Their family is indeed short of money. Tutoring Mu Shaoyan can earn them money and reinforce their knowledge of the college entrance examination, without causing him any harm.
Furthermore, since Mu Shaoyan came to his house, he could easily tell his mother that he was there to do his homework.
His mother naturally wouldn't say anything.
"Okay," Duan Yi replied.
"Then let's start tomorrow night," Mu Shaoyan pondered.
He wanted to see Ye Qingxi one last time via video tonight.
From now on, when I go to Duan Yi's house for tutoring, he'll probably be asleep by the time he gets back, and I won't be able to see him.
To be honest, Mu Shaoyan was really reluctant to part with it.
"Okay." Duan Yi had no objections.
He turned around and went back to the classroom.
Mu Shaoyan mentioned this during a video call with Ye Qingxi that evening, saying, "I found a tutor."
Mu Shaoyan said, "He's the top student in our class, so that if there's anything I don't understand, I can ask him anytime."
"But he won't come to my place, so I have to go to his place. So, Xiaoxi, I might not be able to video chat with you to do your homework anymore."
Ye Qingxi never expected that he would actually take the initiative to find a tutor!
He originally planned to wait until Mu Shaoyan had adapted for two weeks and had a feel for learning before he could coax him into finding a tutor, which would be more acceptable to him.
Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to contact him!
It's already been found!
Things went even more smoothly than he had imagined, so smoothly that Ye Qingxi could hardly believe it.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Mu Shaoyan, but rather that it had only been a week, and Ye Qingxi felt he couldn't let his guard down yet.
Therefore, Ye Qingxi immediately exclaimed, "Wow~ Uncle, you're so smart~ You even thought of that, I didn't~"
First, he boasted, then revealed his true intentions: "Then, when the time comes, I'll go with you, Uncle."
That way, if Mu Shaoyan is just fooling him and his tutoring is unreliable, he can correct him in time.
If it's true and the tutor is particularly reliable, that would be even better!
After all, if he hadn't had that accident on his birthday, he would be preparing for the college entrance exam right now!
Ye Qingxi studied humanities.
Unfortunately, his main job was acting, and studying was just a side job. So, subjects like math, physics, and chemistry, which require a lot of practice problems to get good grades, were destined to be abandoned by him from the very beginning.
His expertise lies in history and politics, which require extensive memorization and recitation.
However, even liberal arts students need to study mathematics.
Ye Qingxi had a limited number of practice problems, which resulted in his consistently poor math scores.
He wanted to hire a tutor to focus on reviewing math at home, but his parents disagreed.
Since he won the Best Actor award, he has been inundated with film offers. His parents have been getting him one TV show and movie after another, leaving him no time to study.
Ye Qingxi argued with them several times about this, but his parents insisted, "Your grades in other subjects are already very good. Even if you're not good at math, you're good enough to get into the Beijing Theatre Academy or the Central Academy of Drama."
"Besides, isn't the point of going to college to graduate and make money? If you ask me, you don't even need to go to college."
"Besides, where would you find the time? Look at your schedule, where would you find the time to hire a tutor to study? Forget it."
Ye Qingxi was underage and her financial lifeline was controlled by others, so she could only secretly ask free teachers online for help.
But now, things are different!
His uncle found him a tutor, so wouldn't he be able to audit the classes?
Rebirth cannot change a person's intelligence; it can only provide lessons learned, enhance judgment about the future, and help people avoid harm and seek benefit.
Ye Qingxi knew very well that all his talents and skills were in the arts and entertainment field, which was why he was good at acting, writing lyrics, and composing music, but he was not a genius when it came to academics.
But he could have learned it in advance!
If he starts to solidify his high school math skills at age five and continues to tackle the areas he doesn't understand at age six, wouldn't he be able to easily get into A University when he takes the college entrance exam at age eighteen?
Ye Qingxi felt happy when she thought about this.
One of his biggest regrets in his past life was that he lost touch with his friends and completely distanced himself from his school because he went to film a movie.
So from the very beginning, he didn't want to apply to the Beijing Theatre Academy or the China Film Academy; he wanted to apply to the university that his friends were preparing for.
I don't wish to meet them again.
I just want to be able to go back to where my peers should be.
Now, Ye Qingxi feels that he can raise his goal a bit higher—to get into the best university that his peers should be able to attend.
Ye Qingxi felt a little excited when she thought about this.
Who wouldn't want to attend the nation's top university?!
He immediately made arrangements: "After school, I'll go home first, then have dinner with Grandpa. After dinner, I'll pack some food for you, Uncle, and then have Uncle Li take me to your school. That way, you can have dinner right after school, and then you can go to class. I'll go with you, so you won't feel bored by yourself."
Mu Shaoyan: !!!
Mu Shaoyan thought this guy didn't look like a nephew at all!
This is even closer than his own father!
His father would only look at him with disdain, while his little nephew not only wanted to accompany him to his tutoring sessions, but also wanted to bring him meals and pick him up from school.
Mu Shaoyan had never been treated like this before!
His parents both had jobs, so he was always driven around by a driver from childhood to adulthood.
The cold-blooded driver.
Not to mention bringing him food!
His dad would only say, "You're not short of money, you can eat whatever you want."
Mu Shaoyan was truly moved!
He felt that his family must have had some extraordinary good fortune to have his father meet Ye Min and adopt Ye Qingxi.
I don't know which way his grandfather kowtowed to, but he managed to get Ye Min as a friend by kowtowing to his father, and he wants to kowtow to him too.
Thank you to his grandfather, thank you to Uncle Ye, and thank you to his father.
"No need." Although Mu Shaoyan was very touched, he couldn't bear to see Ye Qingxi go through all this trouble. "Just stay at home."
Ye Qingxi shook her head, "No, Uncle, you're going to take the entrance exam for A University because of me, I'll go with you~"
Mu Shaoyan was moved again.
He refused again, saying, "Really, you don't need to. If you do this, won't you do your homework?"
"I can write it while you're having your tutoring class, Uncle," Ye Qingxi said. "I'll write it with you!"
Mu Shaoyan: QAQ
Mu Shaoyan felt he could hardly refuse his adorable little nephew.
Who the hell could refuse that?!
Ye Qingxi pressed her advantage: "After class, Uncle, you can come home with me~"
In this way, he could still urge Mu Feng to go to bed early after 10 o'clock, while Mu Shaoyan could stay at home and read books.
Ye Qingxi had wanted Mu Shaoyan to go home and study for a long time. If he wasn't worried that the change would be too drastic for Mu Shaoyan to accept, he would have talked to him about it last week.
As long as Mu Shaoyan is at home, no one will disturb him.
But Mu Shaoyan lives outside, who knows if someone will suddenly come looking for him, what if he goes to dye his hair and get into a fight again?
"Please? Please? Please? Please?" Ye Qingxi coaxed him through the screen.
Mu Shaoyan couldn't bear it. Reason told him that this wouldn't work. Ye Qingxi was too young, and this was too much of a hassle. But he was already saying "okay, okay, okay" to himself.
Ye Qingxi laughed and said happily, "Uncle is so nice, I like him so much!"
Mu Shaoyan chuckled sheepishly and said, "Xiao Xi is great too, I like Xiao Xi a lot too~"
Looking at the smile on his face, Ye Qingxi thought, "What a fool he is! So sweet and naive. Uncle, you should be more careful."
Otherwise, I'd really be worried about your future!
And yet, he's still a school bully and a minor villain!
I really don't know what the original author was thinking.
After agreeing to Ye Qingxi's request, Mu Shaoyan suddenly realized that he should tell Duan Yi about this.
But he didn't have Duan Yi's contact information.
So Mu Shaoyan could only find Duan Yi through the class's QQ group and send him a friend request.
Duan Yi: ?
Duan Yi approved his application.
Mu Shaoyan: [Could there be one more person when I come to your house for my lesson tomorrow night?]
Duan Yi: ...
Mu Shaoyan: [I can give you two tutoring fees.]
Duan Yi: ...
Duan Yi: [Your girlfriend?]
Mu Shaoyan: ? ? ?
Mu Shaoyan: !!!
Mu Shaoyan was shocked: [Where did I get a girlfriend?!]
Duan Yi: [It's all over the school. Your sudden return to class was at your girlfriend's request, wasn't it?]
Mu Shaoyan: ? ? ? ! ! !
Mu Shaoyan: [I don't have a girlfriend!]
Duan Yi: ?
Duan Yi: [They said they heard you call her "baby."]
Mu Shaoyan: ………
Mu Shaoyan sent him a photo of Ye Qingxi holding her face.
Mu Shaoyan: [It is indeed a baby, but a real baby.]
Duan Yi: ...
Duan Yi looked at the cute and handsome little boy in front of him, who was holding his face and smiling.
Ah, this...
Good news: They didn't mishear.
The bad news is: this baby is not that kind of baby, this is a real baby!
