The Older Brother of My Student is My Secret Crush

Chapter 41

After Yu Na posted on her Friend Circle, she put her phone aside.

She finished eating the wonton noodles and put the leftovers in the fridge to eat tomorrow morning.

After taking a shower, she went back to her room with her phone and lazily opened WeChat.

She was startled to see a little red dot on the lower right "Discover" icon with "20" written on it.

Yu Na's heart skipped a beat as an extremely uneasy premonition suddenly arose.

With trembling hands, she tapped open her Friend Circle and realized she had forgotten to set the post she just shared to be visible to herself only.

"..."

Without thinking further, Yu Na hurriedly set the Friend Circle post to be visible only to herself.

Luckily, the post only showed the time she took a shower.

She took several deep breaths before cautiously revisiting the post.

Yu Na didn't have many WeChat contacts. Since starting her job, she had added quite a few students and parents. Most of the likes and comments were also from students, parents and colleagues at the office.

She didn't mind them seeing it since the text and images weren't particularly prone to misunderstanding.

She looked through and saw Xiao Chen didn't like it and Joe hadn't seen it either since his phone was off, so he didn't like it.

That means he definitely didn't know she slipped up.

Yu Na didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. She felt relieved but also strangely disappointed.

It was probably something like being afraid for him to see it, yet also hoping for him to.

"..."

...

However, nothing happened those next few days.

During those days, Xiao Chen and Yu Na didn't contact each other either, as if he truly didn't see the Friend Circle post.

And Yu Na devoted all her energy to her work.

The students she called out were those with the lowest English scores that she still didn't want to give up on, feeling there was still room for improvement.

Because for the English subject, it was all about effort.

Take Joe for example. Despite his casual personality, his brain was actually very smart.

They generally didn't memorize vocabulary so their vocabulary levels were low. So Yu Na divided them into groups and had them take turns dictating English words to each other every day. Then she would give them some vocabulary exercises.

They would start from the basics, move from easy to difficult, eventually summarizing classic exam questions from previous years that other willing students could also collect.

This was her current tutoring plan.

After grinding for a week, by Friday, Yu Na individually messaged the parents of these students, telling them to spend some time dictating words. No need for too many, just twenty a day, up to the latest lesson, memorizing repeatedly.

Building up their vocabulary levels will make doing exercises so much simpler.

As soon as the parents heard the teacher was giving their children individual tutoring for free, they were overjoyed. Dictating simple words didn't take up their time so they all readily agreed.

After messaging the other parents Yu Na finally tapped open the chat with Xiao Chen.

Chatting with him felt so much more casual —

[Set aside some weekend time to dictate Joe's English vocabulary words. From aspect to motivation, get him to dictate and memorize every day, and have him finish his English assignments at home.]

It was rare for Xiao Chen to reply instantly. [?]

"..."

Yu Na was a bit at a loss how to respond to this. Surely he couldn't be unhappy about leaving homework for parents?

No way. It was just dictating some words?

Yu Na kindly replied [Is it inconvenient?]

She sent another text [Or he can review on his own if you're busy]

1 [Okay]

Then why'd you send that question mark.

Yu Na heaved a sigh of relief and replied [Thanks for your trouble]

1 [......]

1 [Are you ridiculing me?]

Yu Na: ???

No.

Why would I...

Now it was Yu Na's turn to send him a question mark [?]

She briefly summarized her tutoring plans to Xiao Chen.

1 [Why the sudden thought to tutor them]

Yu Na: [The grades are just too......]

Yu Na: [The principal spoke to me]

Yu Na: [I've only been working a few months and have been spoken to three times]

1 [Fine, I'll keep an eye on him]

...

Then the next afternoon, Xiao Chen sent her a message on WeChat —

1 [Is high school English this twisted now?]

At that time, Yu Na was watching shows in bed, about to doze off. Seeing Xiao Chen's message instantly jolted her awake.

Reading the content, she blinked twice, confused as she replied [What's wrong?]

1 [I don't understand......]

Yu Na: [?]

Yu Na reminded him symbolically [You did undergrad and masters in the UK]

Implying that after spending so many years in an English speaking country, how could he not understand high school English questions?

Xiao Chen naturally understood her meaning and quickly replied —

1 [My grammar has always been bad, only my spoken English is good]

Yu Na was rendered speechless.

Speaking overseas, grammar indeed wasn't focused on as much. The only thing needing attention was writing dissertations.

But his major was almost all practical coursework.

She replied [Which question don't you understand? You can take a photo for me to see]

1 [I don't understand the ones involving grammar]

He was quite smug about it.

"..."

Staring at his reply, a thought suddenly popped into Yu Na's mind.

As if possessed, she impulsively replied [Do you need me to come over and help explain? I happen to be free this afternoon. I can come over and teach him]

After sending this, she instantly sobered up, wondering if she was being too proactive. f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝗲bn𝐨𝚟𝚎l.com

What if he rejected? Wouldn't that be really embarrassing? Who volunteers to work overtime.

No.

Can't be like this.

Just as Yu Na wanted to take it back, Xiao Chen was faster, instantly replying [Okay, I'll come get you]

"......?"

Huh, huh, huh??

Another curveball.

Yu Na couldn't control the upward curve of her lips as she boldly asked [You're not making me babysit again right]

1 [No]

1 [I want to attend your class too]

Yu Na: "......"

Why's he being, so stubborn.

Then he probably, shouldn't stay home.

It would make her very uncomfortable to teach class with him there.

Xiao Chen arrived quickly, driving a red sports car today.

As Yu Na got in the car and put on her seatbelt, she casually asked "Weren't you always driving black cars before? Why are you driving a red one today?"

Xiao Chen started the car and slowly answered "I'm in a good mood today."

Yu Na: ?

She reacted after two seconds "Good mood...so drive a red car?"

Xiao Chen: "Mhm"

For some reason, Yu Na continued this silly conversation "Then what about before?"

"I was in a bad mood before, so drove black cars."

"......"

Alright.

What kind of new rich flex is this.

The car stopped in the parking garage. Xiao Chen undid his seatbelt, mysteriously smiling "I won't let you teach for nothing, there'll be compensation."

"What compensation?"

"I'm giving you a present."

Yu Na's interest was piqued as her eyes lit up "What is it?"

"You'll know in a bit."
