The Older Brother of My Student is My Secret Crush

Chapter 100

Jiang Yu felt like he had punched cotton.

He really got up and walked back to the classroom with reluctant steps.

Since the weekly test results were announced and the scores were reported to parents, the class discipline had improved quite a bit compared to before.

Jiang Yu stood outside the classroom, "Teacher asked Hao Lei to be responsible for the evening self-study discipline. If you have any questions that you don't understand, go to the office to ask her."

After saying that, he left without looking back, as if staying for one more second would be embarrassing.

He really wasn't suitable to complete this task.

As soon as he left, there was a buzz of discussion in the class.

"Why is he so weird?"

"Didn't he confront Teacher You in public before? What's going on now?"

Qiao Rui was also a little curious: "Does this guy have a split personality?"

Xu Yi knocked on his desk with a pen, "Mind your own business! Study!"

"......" Qiao Rui drew out his words: "Oh, getting fierce again?"

"If you don't study, after you start boarding, I won't take you to the playground at night."

Qiao Rui admitted defeat: "I'll study! I'll study hard! I'll study you to death! Outstudy you! Annoy you to death!"

Seeing that Xu Yi ignored him, Qiao Rui said again: "I'm going to start boarding next Monday. Let's meet at the playground Sunday night, okay?"

...

During the second evening self-study period, Teacher Yu Na tutored Jiang Yu on exam questions in the office.

After explaining each question, she would ask if she had explained it clearly. If Jiang Yu said no even once, she would explain again or use examples to illustrate the concept in a different way.

Halfway through, Jiang Yu deliberately made things difficult for her. For a very simple question that he already understood, he insisted on making her explain it over and over.

But Yu Na patiently explained without complaint. In the end, it was Jiang Yu who ran out of patience.

"I get it, I get it. Next question."

Yu Na smiled triumphantly, "Now you can't complain that you don't understand my teaching, right?"

Jiang Yu: "......"

After the evening self-study ended, Yu Na hummed a tune as she left the school.

Jiang Yu knew she always left through the north gate, but this time, he didn't follow her and pretended not to know, leaving through the front gate instead.

Those few nights, Yu Na tutored Jiang Yu on his schoolwork every day.

He had a weak foundation, so she started from the very basics.

Like Qiao Rui, Jiang Yu wasn't stupid, just undisciplined. But he was slightly more difficult to manage than Qiao Rui, and his foundation was a little weaker too.

But Yu Na took this as a test of her professionalism. Having chosen this career path, she couldn't give up and complain when faced with some difficulties. That wasn't her style.

Similarly, she didn't tell Xiao Chen about this either, to avoid worrying him unnecessarily.

Although Xiao Chen was an optimist, managing such a big hotel made him exhausted every day already.

Sometimes she could feel that he accompanied her despite his fatigue, but he never showed any negative emotions.

So she didn't complain either.

After school on Friday, Jiang Yu received a message marked "Zhou Uncle": [Any progress on what I asked you to investigate?]

Jiang Yu's heart sank.

He opened the two photos he had taken that Monday.

After taking them, he had just saved them, intending to send them to Zhou Uncle later.

But now...he hesitated.

After a long pause, Jiang Yu replied to Zhou Uncle: [Not yet]

He thought for a moment, then lied: [It's hard to see her in private outside of class]

Zhou Uncle immediately called him via video.

Jiang Yu's fingers trembled slightly as he declined the call.

Then he sent a text reply: [I'm doing homework now. Can we talk tomorrow if anything comes up?]

Zhou Uncle also replied with a text: [Kid, you should understand that I didn't send you there to study]

Zhou Uncle: [If you can't investigate her emotional status, Mr. You will naturally find other ways. But for the matter of her resignation, your time is limited. Don't forget about your father or your bright future ahead]

Jiang Yu clenched his teeth and replied: [I understand]

...

On Friday, Xiao Chen had said he would take Yu Na to Lingfeng Scenic Area.

After work, Yu Na went home early to put on makeup. Xiao Chen received a call saying there was a package for him.

After collecting the package, Xiao Chen looked at it.

It was the packaging of a luxury brand.

Just after he received it, his phone lit up.

It was a message from his mother: [Son, did you get the gift?]

Xiao Chen was both surprised and delighted: [You bought it, Mom?]

Mother Xiao: [Yes, hurry and open it]

Xiao Chen went back to the room holding the package. Yu Na happened to finish putting on makeup and came over, "What is it?"

"My mom bought it. I can't believe I lived to see the day my mom would buy me——"

Before he finished speaking, the package was already opened.

A card fell out.

Xiao Chen picked it up and looked at it. "My mom's handwriting."

But the next second, Xiao Chen froze in place.

The card read: [A belated birthday present, happy birthday to Na Na]

Xiao Chen: "............"

Xiao Chen: ???

He stared at the card with a black guy question mark face, all words of surprise blocked by it.

The roles were reversed.

Yu Na squeezed next to him and continued unwrapping the package. She discovered it contained a new style of handbag.

"Wow! So pretty! This style is hard to get!"

Xiao Chen: ?

Yu Na shook Xiao Chen's arm, "Hurry, phone, phone! Let me reply to Auntie!"

Xiao Chen's mouth twitched. He watched her snatch his phone and thank his mother enthusiastically, saying she really liked the gift.

His mother also replied with an audio message very quickly. The two chatted happily.

While Xiao Chen stood there like an outsider.

"......"

...

That day, Yu Na wore the handbag Mother Xiao gave her to Lingfeng Scenic Area.

She was in great spirits, humming a cheerful tune while gazing at the retreating scenery out the window.

Xiao Chen didn't get anything except having to drive and run errands. They forgot to bring water, and halfway through, Yu Na got thirsty, so he had to stop and buy her water.

The scenic area was open all day, but by the time they arrived, there weren't many people left.

Yu Na adjusted the bag on her shoulder, still with a bit of a showing off attitude.

Xiao Chen gave a sneaky snort, then after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped. "I'm tired."

"......" Yu Na: "I'm not even tired yet! Aren't you supposed to have great physical fitness?"

"That's perfect then," he grabbed Yu Na's arm and pulled her towards him, "Carry me up?"

Yu Na: ?

"Are you kidding me? We have at least a 20 centimeter height difference."

"So what?"

Xiao Chen shamelessly clung to her, "I'm tired!"

Yu Na: "Then let's take the cable car?"

"Don't want to."

"Then—"

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Chen hugged her from behind. "Let's go~"

"......"

Yu Na reluctantly carried the tall man on her back.

Xiao Chen cooperated with her actions and wickedly said, "Be careful, don't drop me. I'm afraid of pain."

As soon as Yu Na heard that, she let go and pushed him away. "I'm telling Auntie you abuse your wife!"

"Oh?" Xiao Chen moved closer to her. "Did you agree to marry me?"

"............"

"I'm ignoring you!"

After saying that, Yu Na ran up the trail herself. "Come chase me!"

"I'm tired, I won't chase."

"If you catch me, I'll give you a big reward tonight~"

The dog of a man caught up to her in three steps. "If you put it that way, I'm suddenly not tired anymore!"

Xiao Chen crouched in front of her again. "How about this - I'll carry you to the hotel, and whatever reward you mentioned, I'll decide what it is."

Yu Na jumped on his back. "Okay! If you carry me to the hotel, I'll pamper you well tonight."

Xiao Chen: "Deal."

He easily carried Yu Na up the mountain. Along the way, he looked back and said, "I think our straightforward romance is great."

Yu Na hugged his neck and asked, "Do you like me being direct?"

"I do."

Yu Na suddenly lowered her head and kissed his cheek. "Then let's bathe together tonight?"

Xiao Chen: ???

No need to be that direct.

While Yu Na spoke directly, Xiao Chen's actions were even more direct. Their division of labor was quite clear.

That night, they soaked in the bath for a long, long time.

Despite carrying her all the way up the mountain, Xiao Chen's stamina didn't seem affected one bit.

After the bath, Yu Na's face was flushed. She turned on the TV to distract from her inexplicable shyness after being so blunt.

She opened a pack of candy and popped one in her mouth, constantly flipping channels to conceal her awkwardness.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen pulled her into his arms. "Why don't you dare look at me?"

"......Who doesn't dare look!"

Xiao Chen: "Then look me in the eye."

"......" Yu Na steeled herself and raised her head to meet his gaze. The next second, she suddenly cupped his face in her hands. "You have really beautiful eyes."

Xiao Chen: ?

Yu Na imitated his usual tone and narcissistically complimented herself: "Because they reflect beautiful me."

Xiao Chen burst out laughing. "Comparing yourself to me, are you?"

"Hmm?"

He held her chin, lowered his head, and kissed her lips, gently parting them to explore inside, a sweet and sour fruity scent rushing in.

The next second, he rolled her candy into his own mouth.
