After Song Xueyun exited the staff room Gu Shangyan entered with a swag.
“Good afternoon, Teacher Jin, “Gu Shangyan greeted him like the good student that he was.
Teacher Jin looked up and was surprised to see another student of Class Ten A. “How can I help you, Student Gu?”
“Teacher Jin, I want to apply for the recruitment of part-time tutors. I heard that the students of Class Ten A are preferred over others,” Gu Shangyan replied.
“Well, you heard it right, “Teacher Jin said and extended his hand for the application form. “What is your reason for applying?”
“I want to help my cousin,” Gu Shangyan said without beating around the bush. “I know my classmate Peng Cheng created a scene before the entire school by disrespecting a student of Class Ten K and as the headteacher of the Class Ten K, you have every right to be offended. But An Xiulan is my cousin and I want to help her by tutoring her. I want to request that teacher Jin match her with me. I can understand the root of her problem.”
“Student Gu, thank you for considering the recruitment seriously, “Teacher Jin said with a smile. “According to the screening committee head, I need not let the top students of Ten A for screening and can directly recruit them. Since you showed your willingness, I will have you fill out the registration form. Once the form is submitted, you will get the details about your candidate and all related information.”.
“Thank you so much, Teacher Jin, “Gu Shangyan smiled and left the staff room after filling out the form.

He had seen that she wasn’t in class for about thirty minutes and wondered how she was willing to spend time on campus rather than resting on her desk. Since the time she was bullied in middle school, she would usually avoid wandering on the campus alone and would rather spend her time in her class where she felt safe with her friends and classmates.
“I went to fill out the registration form for campus tutoring, “Song Xueyun replied in a soft voice.
“Good, “this was what he replied to her. He neither asked why she did what she did nor what she was thinking.
During the lunch break, Teacher Jin was once again visited by a student of Class Ten A. And he wasn’t just any student but Han Nanxian, the person who always scores perfect.
“Teacher Jin, I want to apply for campus tutor recruitment, “Han Nanxian said as soon as he entered.
Teacher Jin suspiciously narrowed his eyes at the boy and wondered if there was different water the fridge of Class Ten A building was serving. How come all of the top student have enough time to join recruitment?
“What’s the reason?” Teacher Jin asked straightforwardly.
Han Nanxian wanted to answer that he was joining because Song Xueyun was joining but instead he said, “I have a lot of free time on my hand and I want to use the free time for something productive like helping the students. Please match me with a suitable candidate.”
The smile on Han Nanxian’s face was so bright that it melted the frigid heart of Teacher Jin.
“Alright, fill out the registration form, “Teacher Jin said with a smile on his face.
A couple of hours later, the head of the screening committee decided to drop by Teacher Jin’s office. She was so glad to find out that all the three students who they couldn’t match with anyone were finally out of their hair. The student’s parents had been calling every day but they had no reply to give to them.
“Teacher Jin, this is the details of the Students that need help with studies, “She said as she passed the file.
Teacher Jin’s brows furrowed as he read the first name on the list.
Lu Xuan.
He had taught Lu Xun for a month and all he could say was that the boy needed serious help, not just in studies but all around help.
“Don’t match Lu Xuan with Song Xueyun, “Teacher Jin replied. He believed that it wouldn’t be good for Song Xueyun to deal with someone like Lu Xuan who was not only insensitive but also violent. The girl was already dealing with a lot of problems and it was better to not match the two of them.
The screening head nodded her head. “What about the second student?”
“An Xiulan?” Teacher Jin scratched his head as he remembered how Gu Shangyan put extra effort into the girl. “Don’t put her with Gu Shangyan either. Boys these days use the title cousin so aptly. Did he think I was born yesterday? Hmph!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What about the third student?” She asked.
Teacher Jin furrowed his brows as he saw the third name. “Han Zixin? Wasn’t it Li Yu?”
“Li Yu is already suspended. We put his name aside for a moment,” She replied. “Han Zixin’s name was added today. His guardian aka his grandfather was concerned about his grades and so he put his name on the list. He believed it was a better option than hiring a tutor.”
“Don’t put him with Han Naxian, “Teacher Jin sighed. “Their attitudes won’t go well with each other.”
The other teacher was put in a dilemma as all her options were rejected by Teacher Jin. She wanted to match Song Xueyun with Lu Xuan, Han Nanxian with Han Zixin and Gu Shangyan with An Xiulan. But what does she do now?
“How about this? We can match An Xiulan with Han Nanxian, ” The other teacher gave another suggestion.
“Han Nanxian is gentle with girls. He will be good for someone delicate like An Xiulan, “Teacher Jin nodded his head.
“What do you think about matching Gu Shangyan with Lu Xuan?” The other teacher asked.
“Only someone like Gu Shangyan can manage Lu Xuan, the boy doesn’t let anyone wrong him. He is a way better choice than Peng Cheng, “Teacher Jin commented.
“Then, Han Zixin with Song Xueyun?” The teachers exchanged looks as they didn’t know what to say. But there was no other option either.
