Jiang Yu turned off his phone before entering through the north gate. He took one last look at those two photos, but didn't send them.
Yu Na was holding soy milk on her way back to the office when she ran into Principal Qin.
After greeting Principal Qin, Yu Na unintentionally looked back and happened to see Jiang Yu following behind her.
Jiang Yu was nervous for a moment. He wanted to avoid her but was caught red-handed by Yu Na.
He suddenly changed direction.
Yu Na called out to him from behind: "Jiang Yu."
Jiang Yu stopped in his tracks. "What do you want?"
"Remember to come find me for evening self-study tonight."
"I'm not going."
"Whether you go or not is up to you, but if you don't go, I will look down on you."
Jiang Yu: "You—"
Yu Na didn't seem to want to hear him continue. She raised her eyebrows at him, returning all the provocations he had given her.
Then she left him with a casual back view.
Jiang Yu stood there blankly.
Inner thoughts: Such an imposing manner, as expected of... the daughter of that wealthy tycoon.
...
Yu Na sat leisurely in the office, drinking the soy milk that Xiao Chen had bought for her early in the morning. The taste was thick and fragrant.
A few days ago, she had mentioned wanting to drink soy milk, so Xiao Chen bought a soy milk maker. When it arrived, he tried it and the effect was pretty good.
Since being with him, Yu Na's meals have become very regular. With a regulated diet, her complexion has also improved tremendously.
She was in a very good mood and sent Xiao Chen a WeChat message—
N: 【Let's go hiking again this weekend~?】
C: 【Want to make another wish?】
N: 【I think that hotel is beautiful [shy/]】
C: 【Then let's go on Friday and come back Sunday afternoon】
N: 【Okay, but what about your work?】
C: 【I'll arrange it in advance】
Yu Na happily sent back an "okay."
Xiao Chen accompanied her the whole weekend, which helped improve her mood a lot.
When she had class on Monday, she was no longer like she was on Friday.
But from the corner of her eye she still noticed Jiang Yu lying on the desk sleeping.
She ignored him.
That evening before self-study, Yu Na arrived at the classroom early.
Seeing Jiang Yu sitting there alone, head lowered not knowing what he was doing.
But when Yu Na entered the classroom, he raised his head to glance at her, then quickly lowered it again, showing no intention of coming to her for tutoring.
His actions were slightly deliberate, as if deliberately avoiding her.
Until right before self-study was about to start, Jiang Yu rubbed the back of his neck and couldn't help but finally raise his head. With just that slight lift of his head, he saw Yu Na sitting on the podium staring straight at him, her gaze mocking.
Her eyes seemed to say: "I knew you wouldn't dare come."
Jiang Yu felt a nerve struck.
He had originally not planned to go to her for tutoring, because he knew that even if he did, it would be useless.
Jiang Yu was very clear about his own situation, but the moment his and Yu Na's eyes met in mid-air, he didn't know what came over him. His feet moved of their own accord, and he really picked up the brand new English textbook and pen and went up to the podium.
Yu Na finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She stood up. "Not bad, you still care about face."
Jiang Yu didn't speak, just looked at her coldly, very dissatisfied with her ridicule.
Yu Na paid no mind to his gaze. Holding her things, she got up, "Let's go, to the office."
After speaking, she walked around him and headed out in front,
Jiang Yu stared at her back. Two seconds later, as if possessed, he followed.
There were no other teachers in the office.
After Yu Na brought Jiang Yu in, she took out the test paper she had prepared in advance and put it in front of him. "This test paper is all grammar questions, simpler than what we're learning now. Try it yourself first."
Then she also handed him a vocabulary book. "Use this book as your vocabulary book. Starting today, whenever you come across a word you don't know while doing the questions, whether difficult or easy, you have to look it up and write down the word and meaning. Review it every day."
Jiang Yu's hand gripped the pen tightly, veins slightly protruding.
Who knows what he was thinking.
Yu Na didn't look in his direction. She stood at the desk, turning on the English dictionary on the computer and also placing it in front of him.
"Use the computer to look things up that you don't know, and record them in here. I'll come check later."
Jiang Yu was surprised. "You're letting me use your computer?"
"Mm."
He chuckled. "Aren't you afraid I'll secretly look through your stuff?"
Yu Na calmly answered: "Would you allow yourself to do something so tasteless?"
Jiang Yu was momentarily speechless. "... "
He felt like Yu Na had already figured out his mentality.
Yu Na added: "Besides, there's nothing on my computer. All my stuff is on a USB drive. I don't save any files on the computer itself, precisely to guard against people like you."
After saying this, she prepared to take her things back to the classroom.
Before leaving, Yu Na patted him on the shoulder. "You'd better write properly. If it's like the weekly test, all A's, I will still—" She lowered her head. "Look down on you."
"... "
Yu Na returned to the classroom to monitor self-study.
As long as Jiang Yu was willing to study, her plan would not have failed.
She had been a teacher for a while and understood the psychology of kids this age all too well.
Some students, they provoke teachers for no reason at all, bullying others is their greatest pleasure. They feel like they're really awesome.
This can also make some people convinced and in awe of them, with a group of little followers wherever they go, giving them the prestige of campus big shots.
This age, it's so common.
Jiang Yu was definitely one of these.
So to deal with him was very simple—what they can't stand the most is being looked down upon.
When she first started teaching, she felt it was fine as long as she got paid. Whether they learned or not had nothing to do with her.
But over time, her attitude changed.
She hoped her students could become better and better.
...
At this time, Jiang Yu was alone in the office. His fingers moved back and forth on the trackpad. The computer screen showed a search page, with the cursor hovering around his search history.
His father's words before he transferred flashed through his mind: "As long as you make Ms. Yu resign, no matter the method. My child, your future will be bright. Your father will also do the same. Chairman Yu will not shortchange you."
Jiang Yu's elbow involuntarily shifted back a bit, and the vocabulary book fell to the ground.
A crisp sound in the quiet, deserted office, exceptionally loud.
The sound pulled his thoughts back.
He picked up the vocabulary book, and inadvertently saw the big words written on the first page—【Vocabulary Book · Jiang Yu】
Yu Na had prepared it for him in advance.
He caught his breath, hurriedly stopping the impulse to look through her search history. He hastily closed the page and returned to the English dictionary interface.
...
After the first self-study period ended, Yu Na planned to go back to the office to see how Jiang Yu was doing.
As she neared the office, looking through the window she actually saw him working on the test paper.
He was the only one in the office.
Yu Na was a bit surprised.
Entering the office, Jiang Yu still didn't look up.
"How's it going?"
Jiang Yu didn't reply.
Yu Na sat down next to him and took a look.
"..."
They were all wrong. The questions she found for him were all junior high grammar questions.
But Yu Na didn't show any impatience. She also glanced at his vocabulary book. There were quite a few words in it, all basic vocabulary.
Yu Na took his test paper. "Go back to the classroom, have Hao Lei be responsible for self-study discipline for now. Come to the office if you have any questions."
"Why should I listen to you?"
At this, Yu Na looked up. "Someone so concerned with face, how could they not know what conscience is?"
Jiang Yu: "..."
