Chapter 37
Luo Feng’s Tutoring Rules
“Will listening for an hour really help me improve my results?” Ai Tingya asked doubtfully.
She knew that Luo Feng’s comprehension ability was very good. He could memorize all the knowledge in the book and use it to do questions. However, having good grades didn’t mean that he could teach people. To be able to understand in an hour was a bit of an exaggeration.
“You can add more if you think an hour isn’t enough. You can just stay at my place if it gets too late, my home is able to accommodate you.” smiled Luo Feng.
They were eventually going to get married anyway, so it didn’t matter if they lived under the same roof.
Ai Tingya heard the evil thoughts in Luo Feng’s head and thought for a bit before saying, “Sure, but wait for me to get ready. How about I go to your place tomorrow night?”
Was she going to prepare toiletries? Actually there was no need. He had everything at home.
He didn’t expect Ai Tingya to agree so quickly. Luo Feng was overjoyed. He found a notebook and started to set up the tutoring rules.
Ai Tingya stretched her head and saw the word “rules”. She knew that Luo Feng was thinking about something else. She smiled and turned around to shake Lei Jin awake.
…
Luo Feng brought Ai Tingya back to his home the next night.
Mother Luo had heard that Ai Tingya was coming home to study early so she had bought a sumptuous supper and was waiting for her.
“Tingya, you’re here?” Mother Luo took Ai Tingya’s bag enthusiastically.
Father Luo also put down the newspaper and nodded at Ai Tingya with a smile.
“Auntie didn’t know what you liked to eat, so I bought some of everything and placed them all on the dining table. You can take whatever you want to eat.” Mother Luo pointed at the dining table.
Sweet bread, salty fried noodles, a large skewer of barbecue, and a pot of crayfish. It was even more sumptuous than dinner.
Luo Feng glanced at her with disdain and said, “Mom, you’re really something. It’s not even the season to eat crayfish yet. Besides, who’s going to eat so much oily food at night? Fruits are definitely more suitable for supper. Aiya!”
Ai Tingya secretly elbowed Luo Feng and glared at him, warning him to stop. How could he let his mother down?
Mother Luo was already used to her son’s sarcastic words. “Alright, alright. Go and study. I’ll call you when I’m done peeling the apple.”
She pushed the two of them into the room with that.
“Can the two of them calm down and study hard alone inside?” Father Luo put down the newspaper and asked worriedly, drawing a question mark on his son’s reservedness.
“It’s possible. Didn’t they do this a lot last semester? Why don’t you help me wash the apples if you have the time to worry?” Mother Luo was very confident in her son.
“But I see that they’re under a lot of pressure in their third year of high school. You know that it is necessary to have an outlet to vent when the pressure is high.”
“I don’t know. Did you do the same thing previously since you can think of that?”
Why has the target turned to me again?
Father Luo thought to himself. He immediately raised his hand and admitted defeat.
“I didn’t say anything. Hurry up and prepare the fruits.”
On the other side, Luo Feng made Ai Tingya sit by the bed and unrolled a piece of paper the size of a calendar. On it were the words “Tutoring Rules”, and he even used a red pen to draw the highlights.
Luo Feng hung it on the bookshelf and took out a radio antenna from somewhere, using it as a pointer.
“Student Ai Tingya, you know that nothing works where there are no rules. These are the rules I set for you. See if there’s anything you don’t understand.”
Ai Tingya raised her eyebrows. She knew that Luo Feng had revealed his true colors as soon as she saw the first one.
She read. “First, one hour of tutoring every night. If you exceed the time limit, you have to pay with a ‘kiss’. You can’t delay payment on it.”
“Your teacher is also a human, it’s hard for him to survive without some rewards.” Luo Feng said convincingly.
Ai Tingya felt that something wasn’t right, but she couldn’t find a reason to refute him, so she continued, “Second, the student (Ai Tingya) needs to call the teacher (Luo Feng) with sweet nicknames in order to differentiate from boring classes. For example?”
“For example, hubby, darling, family head, and so on… In short, you can call me whatever you like. I’m very open-minded and am giving you full freedom.”
The shamelessness made Ai Tingya laugh. “Third, if there are knowledge points that can’t be remembered even after repeated explanations, there will be a small punishment, based on the actual situation.”
Luo Feng pointed at himself and said. “I will dictate the actual situation, using my standards as the basis.”
“Aren’t you taking advantage of me? I wouldn’t be able to reject it if you ask for… that… that excessive request.” Ai Tingya said with embarrassment.
Luo Feng supported the back of Ai Tingya’s chair with one hand and lifted her chin with the other. “Student Ai Tingya, don’t you trust your hubby, ah no, your teacher’s character?”
“Nonsense.” Ai Tingya pushed him away. “Time is tight. Let’s start class.”
“Call me hubby and get used to it, then we’ll officially begin” Luo Feng revealed a malicious smile. Ai Tingya actually didn’t object. The sun would be rising from the west.
Ai Tingya was so angry that she lost her temper. She held back her bulging cheeks and could only compromise after holding it in for a while. She said softly, “Hubby, let’s begin.”
“Sure.” Luo Feng held her face and kissed it.
Mother Luo, who was at the door, almost cried out in fear. She almost lost her grip on the apple in her hand, covered her mouth and ran to the kitchen, shouting excitedly at the vegetable basin.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” Father Luo came over.
“I just Tingya call Xiao Feng ‘Hubby’. We didn’t even dare to hold hands when we were dating. Young people nowadays are really bold!”
“It’s alright.” Father Luo scratched his face and recalled his heroic act of flirting with young girls when he was young. He said seriously. “You’re already so old. Don’t listen to what you shouldn’t hear. Leave some privacy for the children.”
Mother Luo blushed and said guiltily, “It was just a coincidence. What should we do with this plate of apples now?”
“We’ll eat it ourselves.”
“Alright.” Mother Luo thought it through. In any case, they would be a family in the future. It didn’t matter if they started a little earlier or a little later. She would let them be as long as it didn’t affect their studies. She understood the warmth during the honeymoon period.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Mother Luo glanced at the clock on the wall. Who would be knocking at the door at nine-thirty?
“Sister Sun, why are you here?” Mother Luo pushed open the door and saw Sun Bi, Lei Jin’s mother, standing at the door with two cartons of milk in her hands.
“Sorry for disturbing you so late at night.” Sun Bi put down the milk shyly.
Lei Jin’s family lived in the same district as Luo Feng before he was born. The two families often interacted with each other. After Lei Jin was born, Lei Jin’s father bought a bigger house and moved out. However, it was only a few streets away. The two families became closer than before after the two kids went to school together.
Sun Bi must have something to ask of her since she brought the milk, but Mother Luo could not guess what it was.
After inviting her into the house, Mother Luo asked, “Sister Sun, what’s the matter so late at night?”
Sun Bi rubbed her hands and said embarrassedly, “Actually, I’m here to ask Little Feng for a favor. You know that Lei Jin’s results are terrible. I heard that Little Feng’s results are good, so I want to ask him to help tutor Lei Jin.”
Mother Luo nodded with understanding.
The third wheel has arrived.
