FSC [QT] Chapter 164.2

Just like Xiang Wu, she was used to skipping classes and skipping school. The so-called desire to study seriously was probably just a three-minute enthusiasm.

But now he regretted his previous speculation.

Because from these notes, it could be seen that Xiang Wu really wanted to study hard, and she had spent a lot of effort on this matter.

Especially since the other party tried to start with relatively basic junior high school knowledge, he could see her sincerity in wanting to learn well.

“Well, the high school knowledge points are a bit too difficult for me, so I have been self-studying junior high school content during this period.”

Ah Wu pushed some exercises she had done these days in front of Sheng Chenglin, asking him to estimate which knowledge point she should start teaching from.

“You’re making rapid progress.”

When Xiang Yancheng’s secretary contacted Sheng Chenglin, he only told him that he would teach mathematic, and other subjects would be tutored by other tutors. Therefore, Sheng Chenglin mainly looked through Xiang Wu’s mathematics textbooks and had a general understanding of Xiang Wu’s self-study progress.

If he remembered correctly, Xiang Wu’s change started more than a month ago. Looking at the notes in these textbooks, the courses from the first grade to the third grade were already full of notes.

Including those exercises, the error rate was getting lower and lower.

One of the exercise books contained mathematics middle school entrance examination papers from previous years. There were no traces of corrections or revisions on the last few papers. If Xiang Wu had completed all of them independently, it would mean that she had fully mastered the mathematics knowledge for junior high school.

But it only took more than a month to learn this knowledge. Even for junior high school knowledge points, this learning speed was too terrifying.

“I can teach you the math knowledge of the first grade of high school. Let’s do this. I haven’t prepared anything today. This time, we will study the math knowledge of the first grade of high school first. Next time, I will bring you a junior high school level test paper I made myself to see if you have mastered the knowledge points of junior high school math.”

Although it was the first day for Sheng Chenglin to be a tutor, he also had a bit of the momentum of a teacher.

He had a bit of goodwill and appreciation for this smart and hardworking student in front of him. Of course, at this time, he had some doubts about Xiang Wu’s mastery of all the knowledge points of junior high school in such a short time.

But when the two-hour class was over, all the doubts disappeared.

Sheng Chenglin discovered that giving lectures to others could also bring him hearty pleasure. Xiang Wu’s ability to absorb new knowledge was too terrifying.

He could see that Xiang Wu’s eyes were confused when he first explained the knowledge points, but after he finished explaining the knowledge points, Xiang Wu’s terrifying learning ability was revealed. He didn’t need to teach all the knowledge points a second time, as she could understand them thoroughly.

In the subsequent practice, she could draw inferences from one example and independently solve some mathematical problems extended from that knowledge point.

Originally, he planned to use three classes to explain the course content, but now it only took one class for Xiang Wu to learn it all.

Sheng Chenglin couldn’t help but look at Xiang Wu with regret.

If she could spend her energy on learning from the beginning, she might be his biggest competitor in school now.

You know, Sheng Chenglin always occupies the first place in the subject of mathematics. Sometimes being a king can make you lonely.

Sheng Chenglin began to look forward to the day when Ah Wu would master all the knowledge points and become a rival who could compete with him.

“Teacher Sheng, do you want to stay for dinner?”

Perhaps it was because the teaching process was so enjoyable that Sheng Chenglin didn’t realize how much time had passed until the servant knocked on the door.

Similarly, Ah Wu, who was being taught, was also very happy. Sheng Chenglin was indeed a top student. His grasp of the key points of the subject even exceeded that of ordinary teachers.

Moreover, as a student, he could help Ah Wu better accept new knowledge from the perspective of an experienced person.

With the help of Sheng Chenglin, Ah Wu’s learning efficiency has also improved a lot.

“No, my mother is still waiting for me to go home for dinner.”

Sheng Chenglin was being a tutor without telling his mother. Because the tutoring time was on weekends, he could go out under the pretext of going to the library or meeting friends without arousing his mother’s suspicion.

But if he ate outside, his mother would definitely call him and ask him.

Sheng Chenglin was going to save this money for college tuition and living expenses. He knew that his mother wanted him to study hard, and being a tutor would only delay his own learning progress.

She would rather take a few extra tutoring classes on weekday evenings and be more tired herself than let her son worry about the family finances at an age when he should be studying.

But Sheng Chenglin understood his own learning status. The process of tutoring was just the process for him to review the previous knowledge points and consolidate the foundation, which was a win-win situation.

He didn’t want to argue with his mother because of this contradiction and add trouble to his mother who was already physically and mentally exhausted because of her tutoring class.

“Goodbye, Classmate Xiang.”

Sheng Chenglin looked at Ah Wu who sent him downstairs and waved to her.

“Goodbye, Teacher Sheng.”

Ah Wu stood at the door and waved to Sheng Chenglin as well.

In the distance, Su Huaibai had one foot on the bicycle pedal and the other on the ground. It was unknown how long he had been waiting there.

Looking at the scene of the young boy and girl getting along happily, his face seemed to freeze into ice.

He held the small gift box of band-aids printed with Pikachu and other cartoon characters in his hand.

Then, he sneered, threw the box on the ground, and then rode away on his bicycle.

He was not sad.

You are not sad, just jealous!
