Chapter 11: Xiaoxiao, I Have a Deal for You
Lu Ziyi introduced himself with utmost seriousness, while Ye Chuxiao opposite him appeared shy and timid, blushing with shame.
Such a situation easily brings to mind a scene – a blind date.
The surrounding waiters noticed, lowering their heads slightly and secretly smiling. A handsome and elegant young man, and a delicate and lovely young woman, starting a relationship in such a traditional way, perhaps it would be a beautiful thing!
Ye Chuxiao was momentarily taken aback by Lu Ziyi’s friendliness.
Why would Senior Student Ziyi tutor her in Advanced Mathematics? Because he was a person full of justice? From a student’s perspective, to eliminate a retake slot?
Ye Chuxiao said sheepishly, “Senior Student Ziyi, perhaps you… don’t quite understand my intelligence in mathematics. I’ve always been bad at math since I was little, and I genuinely find it hard to grasp mathematical problem-solving approaches.”
Lu Ziyi said frankly, “Actually, I’m not a genius student either. I only did well in mathematics after repeated contemplation and practice. Perhaps my study methods and problem-solving approaches could be of some help to you?”
It was exam review week, and for every university student, time was extremely precious.
Ye Chuxiao thanked Lu Ziyi for his kindness, but added, “Senior Student Ziyi, if you tutor me in Advanced Mathematics, it will delay your own review time.”
“I don’t need to review; I’m already familiar with the exam knowledge points from my usual studies.”
Lu Ziyi’s words made Ye Chuxiao wish she could disappear into the ground.
Lu Ziyi suddenly changed the topic and said, “Xiaoxiao, actually, I have a Design Studio near the school, and I handle businesses related to house design, courtyard design, and interior decoration.”
“Oh…” Ye Chuxiao replied listlessly. She had already heard about it from her Dorm Leader, Bai Qianqian, last night.
Senior Student Ziyi truly has an abundance of free time. Some poor souls are struggling to pass, rushing out early and returning late, completely overwhelmed, yet he has the leisure to set up a Design Studio and take on work!
Lu Ziyi’s tone was full of sincerity, “Because I usually take on many projects, the Design Studio gets quite chaotic when I’m busy. I’d like to hire an Assistant. I wonder if Xiaoxiao would be willing to help me?”
“…Oh!” Ye Chuxiao more or less understood Lu Ziyi’s intention.
Senior Student Ziyi saw that her pencil sharpening skills were decent, leading him to believe she might be diligent and capable of labor. Thus, he invited her for a meal to ask for her opinion on whether she’d be willing to be his Little Assistant at the Design Studio.
Regarding this… Ye Chuxiao’s answer was, of course – to agree!
Judging by Senior Student Ziyi’s tone, it seemed that if she became an Assistant at the Design Studio, he would guarantee she’d pass Advanced Mathematics!
What else could she do? Should she drag down the class, pay for a retake course, and be tormented by Advanced Mathematics for another year?
No, no, no, she shouldn’t be so optimistic in her imagination. She might not even earn the required credits for Advanced Mathematics in her four years of university, and then she wouldn’t even graduate!
Senior Student Ziyi was her hope!
Ye Chuxiao nodded vigorously, “Senior Student Ziyi, I’m willing!”
Ye Chuxiao, as if grabbing a lifeline, was somewhat excited and answered loudly.
Some of the surrounding waiters couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle. It seemed this blind date had a good outcome.
“Thank you, Xiaoxiao,” Lu Ziyi said gently. “Why don’t Xiaoxiao come and see my Design Studio first? It’s just near the school.”
