By the river, the evening breeze blows slowly. Unfortunately, there is not much water in the river, and the willow trees on the bank are also weak. The hot weather makes people lazy and don't want to move.
"Thank you very much. If it weren't for you -" Gu Yangyue didn't say any more, but a pair of eyes that could speak, she had fully expressed what she wanted to say.
"What you have to thank is not me, but fate." Liu Wei'an said with a smile, "Any man would step forward in that situation. I was just the one who appeared by chance."
"What are you doing in the cram school? Are you also a student in Teacher Yang's cram school?" Gu Yangyue's face turned red and she changed the subject.
"He is considered a student." Seeing that she didn't understand, Liu Wei'an explained, "I just signed up and classes will start tomorrow. Are you a student too?" His tone was questioning, because although Gu Yangyue was petite, her age He must be over twenty years old.
It is generally difficult to determine the age of a girl, but there should still be some who are twenty-one or two. In his twenties, he should not be a student anymore, but according to the teacher, he is a bit too young. ,
"I am also a student, a sophomore at Taojiang University, teaching students in Teacher Yang's cram school." Gu Yangyue said softly.
"Taojiang University?" Liu Wei'an was surprised. This university is amazing. There are two famous universities in Xinfeng City. They are famous throughout the Han Dynasty. One is Xinfeng University and the other is Taojiang University and Xinfeng University are state-owned universities, while Taojiang University is a private school. It should be more appropriately said to be an aristocratic school.
Taojiang University mainly recruits students from nobles, and occasionally some civilians are admitted. However, the conditions are very demanding. Either the grades are particularly excellent, or a certain specialty is far above ordinary people. In a word, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter Taojiang University. Yes, and Taojiang University's search for people is one-way. Unless Taojiang University takes the initiative to send out an invitation, they will not accept it even if they use a train to pull gold coins there. Taojiang University produces several billionaires and political celebrities every year. confidence.
Judging from Gu Yangyue's clothes and Teacher Yang's words, Liu Wei'an can probably determine that Gu Yangyue is a special admissions student for civilians, and Taojiang University can take the initiative to send out invitations. Naturally, it will not be because she is beautiful and is a well-known university in China. His university was not so superficial. In other words, it was Gu Yangyue's academic performance that impressed Taojiang University, and Liu Wei'an's heart became active.
"Well...if I beat Teacher Yang, will it affect your work?"
"Even if it doesn't cause any impact, I won't go." Gu Yangyue had a hint of fear in her eyes, "Actually, from the first day I went to Teacher Yang's cram school, I felt that Teacher Yang had bad intentions. It's just that the salary of their cram school is high, and I I thought that as long as I paid attention to the people coming and going in the cram school, nothing would happen, but I didn’t expect that he would be so bold and break into the women’s restroom.”
"You can tell the principal, uh, I mean the leader of the cram school." Liu Wei'an couldn't help but said.
"He is the leader." Gu Yangyue said helplessly.
"Him?" Liu Wei'an was shocked and made gestures with his hands. This was very different from the scholar's imagination in his mind. Although knowledge is said to be nutrition, I have never heard that knowledge can make people fat.
"He is only responsible for management. The teachers in Teacher Yang's cram school are all other people." Gu Yangyue explained. "Does this mean you are unemployed?" Liu Wei'an asked, unsure.
"It doesn't matter, just find another tutor." Gu Yangyue said nonchalantly: "It's easy to find tutoring jobs near the school."
Liu Wei'an saw the reluctance in her smile and couldn't help but ask: "Is the salary in Teacher Yang's cram school high?"
"Three and a half hours of class time every day, 5,200 copper coins a month." Gu Yangyue said.
Liu Wei'an calculated in his mind that the average hour was about 50 copper coins, which was indeed quite high. Thinking about how he only earned five or six copper coins a day, the gap was appalling. Knowledge creates wealth. This is indeed true. No wonder so many people read.
"What about other places?"
"More than two thousand, maybe more than three thousand." Gu Yangyue stood up, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let me treat you to a supper to express my gratitude. Do you want to show your face?"
Liu Wei'an looked at her with dark eyes. Gu Yangyue was dressed simply, with a white cotton T-shirt on top, revealing two slender arms, and a gray short skirt underneath. From a distance, she looked like a young and lively student, simple Her clothes could not hide her natural beauty, and her face without any cosmetics was as white as the bright moon.
Gu Yangyue, Liu Wei'an felt that this fame existed just for her. For some reason, looking at this face, Liu Wei'an felt an emotion called pity.
In the Han Dynasty, food stalls were the most ubiquitous late-night snack stalls. Whether they were high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they all liked to sit down and have a few bites. Although they knew it was unhygienic, who cared?
Gu Yangyue watched Liu Wei'an choose a food stall and sit down. Although she didn't say anything, she felt a touch of emotion in her heart. Compared with restaurants, food stalls were at least 30% cheaper. If it's a big hotel, there's no need to compare, it's not on the same level at all.
Gu Yangyue ordered two dumplings for Liu Wei'an, one with corn filling, one with meat filling, and a pot of frog porridge, while she only ordered a piece of preserved egg and lean meat porridge.
Liu Wei'an smiled and said nothing. This little food was naturally not enough for him. However, he was not too hungry not long after finishing dinner. These things were just right.
The corn was sweet and the frog porridge was smooth and smooth. Liu Wei'an didn't pay attention and wiped it all out. Gu Yangyue hadn't eaten a third of the bowl of porridge.
"Let me order you another one." Gu Yangyue said sheepishly. She really didn't expect Liu Wei'an's appetite to be so big.
"That's enough." Liu Wei'an waved his hand and wiped his mouth with a tissue, "I just eat quickly."
Gu Yangyue stirred the porridge with a spoon to evaporate the heat, and ate much faster. However, she probably didn't have the habit of eating lumps, and her face turned red after just a few mouthfuls.
"I have something I want to ask you for help with." After hesitating, Liu Wei'an said.
"What?" Gu Yangyue looked up at him.
"I want to ask you to be my tutor." Liu Wei'an said seriously.
"Ah!" Gu Yangyue's mouth turned into an O shape, and her clear eyes were full of confusion. After a few seconds, she slowly shook her head: "If you want to help me, you don't have to. I believe in my own efforts."
"What if I say I want to chase you?" Liu Wei'an blurted out. This sentence definitely did not pass through his mind. After the words came out, he blushed first.
"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Yangyue spat, lowering her gaze and not daring to look at Liu Wei'an. Her face was flushed and she almost stuffed her head into the bowl of porridge.
Liu Wei'an coughed and said seriously: "I'm serious. I've thought about it for a long time. I just wanted to go to a cram school to find a teacher, but I forgot that there is such a thing as a tutor. My foundation is too poor. If I go to a public class , I doubt I can keep up, one-on-one tutoring is my only way out at the moment, even if you don’t agree, I will have to find another teacher, but I don’t know what the level of those teachers is.”
"Those teachers are not as good as me." Gu Yangyue blurted out, her eyes filled with confidence.
"So, you agreed!" Liu Wei'an showed a happy smile.
Only then did Gu Yangyue realize that she had been tricked by Liu Wei'an, with a hint of shyness in her eyes, she lowered her head and hummed softly, like a mosquito. Liu Wei'an is happy, having such a shy teacher is also a blessing.
After eating, Liu Wei'an rushed to pay. Gu Yangyue naturally refused, but Liu Wei'an said confidently: "No teacher pays, aren't you driving the students away?"
Gu Yangyue couldn't resist him, so she had to let him go.
"Teacher, let me take you home." Liu Wei'an followed Gu Yangyue, somewhat reluctant to leave.
"It's getting late, you'd better go back, we have classes tomorrow." Gu Yangyue shook her head.
"It's just because it's getting late that I have to send you off. The wind is high and the night is dark, and the road is so dangerous. You are a girl. What should you do if you meet a bad person? If something happens to you, my university will be hopeless. For me In order to be able to enter university, I must also give you a ride." Liu Wei'an's attitude was very determined.
"I have gone back alone before, and I have never been in danger." Gu Yangyue still disagreed.
"You haven't met Teacher Yang before, right? Can something that can be predicted be called an accident? The student's heart is full of fists. Teacher, can you have the heart to refuse?"
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you." Gu Yangyue clearly knew that this student had bad intentions, but she didn't know why she couldn't harden her heart. Teacher Yang's incident still had some impact on her. She probably didn't realize it herself. Deep in her heart, In fact, she still hoped that Liu Wei'an would send her home.
Gu Yangyue has a dormitory at the school, which she earned through her excellent grades. Not only is the tuition free, but she also subsidizes room and board. However, she spends most of her time living in a small rented attic next to the hospital. , it is close to the hospital and is convenient for taking care of my mother.
After getting off the car, Gu Yangyue apologized to Liu Wei'an and couldn't invite him to sit in the room and drink a glass of water because she wanted to see her mother first.
"It's okay. I'm going back first." Liu Wei'an watched Gu Yangyue enter the hospital, and then followed him. After a few minutes, he quietly left without disturbing Gu Yangyue.
In the ward, Gu Yangyue repeated the daily movements, massaging the unconscious mother's body and flexing her muscles. After the full set of movements, she was exhausted and sweating. She stared blankly at her mother's expressionless face for a long time. Paralysis caused a face to become dry and thin. Five years later, no miracle happened. After a few minutes, he sighed and walked out of the room sadly and came to the payment desk.
"What?" Gu Yangyue was surprised, "Has the fee been paid?"
