Chapter 411 – The Mafia King’s Home Tuition (2)
Wei stared at her pink lips that he had kissed so many times he had lost count of it. A soft gulp passed down his throat, and his brow twitched. He had pulled her over to his side, so he could also feel the softness of her breasts on his chest.
He imagined pushing her behind and leaning down to claim her lips. Kissing her fiercely and passionately until she felt breathless – no, until both of them felt breathless. The thought was quite tempting.
Lihua's gaze automatically averted. But she felt an intense stare directed at her. She slowly looked up again and found his eyes fixed at her. She ever so slightly shook.
The way he stared at her reminded her of how Wei used to look at her. As if she was the only woman in this world for him. As if watching anything else was simply pointless. It was the most beautiful feeling she had ever felt.
Even his muscular arm that had firmly held her waist felt familiar to her to the times when Wei would embrace her.
I need a brain check up, Lihua thought to herself. Why do I always compare Wei and Liangshi? They are different people for God's sake, Lihua!
Then she realized that her breath was caught up in her throat as she breathed out.
Lihua gritted her teeth, angry at herself.
There is no here that will make your breath stop, dumb Lihua!
She cleared her throat. But Wei didn't let her go. He was lost in her as he observed every inch of Lihua's beautiful face.
"*Ahem!*"
That finally broke his daze. He blinked his eyes.
"Can you let me go?"
Wei felt disappointed, but he had no reason to hold her as 'Hunag Liangshi.' He let her go and gently cautioned her. "Don't run around. What if you fall?"
"O-Oh. No, I am fine. I wasn't going to fall really…"
He frowned. "Still. Be careful."
Her mouth twitched.
Even the way he speaks and frowns is just so…like him. Does Wei have a fraternal twin brother? No, wait. How is that possible? How can the twin be younger than Wei haha…
She grimaced.
I have lost it.
They settled in the living room, and Lihua brought all her books. "Yes, teacher Liangshi. I am ready."
Wei raised his brow and softly smiled. "Okay." He took her test paper and as he glanced through it, he asked, "What topics do you have difficulty in understanding the most?"
Lihua sheepishly grinned. "A-all of it?"
Wei looked at her test answers and got his answer anyway. He inwardly beamed. It was simple math.
Lihua understood nothing = Wei will have to teach her everything = Spend more time together = Wei's victory.
Wei nodded in satisfaction.
"En. Let's go through each topic one by one. Very slowly," he emphasized that part.
Lihua seriously nodded. "Yes. Please be very slow. Math is a hard subject."
Wei inwardly thought if he should remove Math from her curriculum. She wouldn't have to suffer like this. But then he won't get to teach her either. That was a heavy loss.
"Let's look at the first problem…"
He methodically taught her step by step, focusing on the process.
Lihua brightened. "Oh! I think I understand it! This was simple."
Wei nodded. He gave her a problem and said, "Apply the same integration here, and try to solve it."
She did so and was able to do it on the first try. She burst into tears. "I did it. I actually solved a Math problem. You are a genius!"
Wei almost raised his hand to pat her head but then remembered that he shouldn't do that. He pursed his lips.
I am Huang Liangshi. I am Huang Liangshi.
Lihua felt a little confident, and she tried to solve another problem, a little more complex than before. But she was stuck.
She cried. "I thought I could do it…"
Wei said, "It requires an additional step. Apply differentiation too."
"Oh…" Lihua stared at him. "How do you understand all this? Tell me the source of your skills!"
Wei tilted his head. "The same books that you use. Math is the same for all."
"That's it?"
"Yes."
"You mastered such awesome math skills just by reading books?"
He nodded. "They are too easy. Practice helps."
Though, of course, with Mafia King's intelligence, he didn't need any practice.
"If it's that easy, then why am I suffering like this?" Lihua whined.
Wei absolutely didn't mean any harm or mockery to her self-esteem by saying the next words.
"Lack of IQ."
!!!
"*Cough cough!*"
She choked hard.
"You just have to remember the formulas. Stick to the process. If you follow the process, it shouldn't be a problem."
"…"
Lihua slipped into a certain memory.
'Boss, please tell me the source of your skills!'
'Cookbooks. Videos.'
She blinked her eyes. 'That's it?'
'Yes.'
'You mastered such awesome skills just by that?'
He nodded. 'They are too easy.'
'If it's that easy then why am I suffering like this?'
'Lack of talent.'
'…'
'Everything can be learned by guidance. If you follow the steps, it shouldn't be a problem. If you cannot, it's a matter of lack of intelligence, is what my acquaintance says. In simple terms, that person is a fool.'
How…
Lihua felt her heart skip several beats. For a moment, she thought as if Wei was talking to her. The situation was just so similar.
"Lihua?" Wei gently nudged her shoulder.
"I-I am here."
"En. I will show you the next problem."

At the same time, Meng Ya was also 'trying' to study, but she couldn't. Not when Huo Ziruo was looming over her, threatening to gobble her up if she messed up the next problem.
Her mouth twitched.
He is just like that hooligan.
The painful memories of that one time when he tutored her was still fresh in her mind.
"Hmph!"
"Don't harrumph just because you cannot solve the problem," Fu Renshu narrowed his eyes.
"Oh. It's not because of Math."
"Then?"
Meng Ya felt aggrieved. "I am talking about a certain hooligan who claimed that he likes me and is sorry for his mistakes, but I didn't see a single call from him!"
Fu Renshu blankly stared at her.
Then as if realization dawned upon him, he cursed himself.
Fuck!
