“Haum~ Finally done~”
Xia Qingyang got up from the bed and slowly stretched.
Enticing moans filled the air, accompanied by the sight of Xia Qingyang’s flawless pale skin.
Her nightdress was very short at the hem, and because she was stretching, I even accidentally caught a glimpse of her underwear through the semi-transparent lace trim.
714……
Ugh, disgusting!
My cheeks flushed red as I hurriedly averted my gaze.
Couldn’t she be a bit more careful? I’m still here, you know!
“Teacher?”
“Hmm?”
I turned around and saw Xia Qingyang looking at me with a puzzled expression.
“Teacher, your face… it’s red?”
“Um, I… I’m fine, maybe just feeling a little unwell?”
Facing Xia Qingyang’s gaze, I hastily came up with an excuse to brush it off.
Damn it!
This is all your fault! I’m still here, yet you don’t pay any attention!
Before the reincarnation, she never acted like this. Why is it that now that I’m a girl, she keeps unintentionally giving me these perks?
Although I know it has nothing to do with that, and it’s probably because she’s become more carefree and lazy after leaving her family, she should still be more mindful!
“Teacher, really?”
Xia Qingyang stared at me and asked again.
“Really, what else? The game’s over, so now I’m going to start…”
After I answered, I nervously changed the subject.
“Mm.”
Xia Qingyang nodded. Although we had wasted some time at the start, we could finally get going.
Even though her Buddhist-like attitude meant she probably gave up on the ‘reborn me,’ I didn’t want her to know about my identity as a reincarnator, just to avoid unnecessary trouble.
So here, I could only pretend I didn’t know anything about Xia Qingyang and start asking from scratch.
“By the way, why did you decide to move out on your own?”
“Family, nagging, meddling, not understanding me, troublesome.”
I already knew this. Even before reincarnation, Xia Qingyang wanted to separate from her family.
“So after you moved out, do your family still give you money?”
“No.”
Just as I thought. After all, the Qingyang family… sigh, it’s a long story.
But here, I still had to act surprised.
“Eh?! So you moved out, and your family doesn’t give you money? Doesn’t that mean…”
“Staring at the computer, working, earning money, supporting myself…”
“I see…”
There seemed to be quite a few part-time jobs online now, but from what I knew, many were scams and most didn’t pay much.
I wasn’t very familiar with it…
“That’s not a good solution though. If you keep working part-time like this, it’ll take up a lot of your energy, and your studies will suffer.”
I looked at Xia Qingyang, worry flashing across my face.
Before reincarnation, even with someone taking care of her, her studies were a mess.
I didn’t like judging a student solely by their grades, but that didn’t mean academics were unimportant.
“Yeah, so, Teacher, do you plan to help me?”
Xia Qingyang looked at me and smiled faintly.
I felt something was off about her, but given her laid-back personality, I knew she wouldn’t be targeting me, so I didn’t pay much attention.
If I were to help Xia Qingyang, there wasn’t much I could do…
Without Guiyue, I basically survived on instant noodles at home—partly because I was poor, partly because I was lazy.
But now I suddenly thought of something. If I really tried, I wasn’t completely helpless.
“How about this: you study hard during this period, and if you get a better score on the next weekly test, I’ll help you apply for the school’s financial aid.”
“Really?”
Hearing me mention financial aid, the lazy look on Xia Qingyang’s face immediately vanished.
Heh heh heh, as expected, for a cash-strapped high schooler, the temptation of money is huge~
Seeing Xia Qingyang tempted, I pressed on.
“Absolutely~ As long as you study well, I can help you get it.”
Of course, I wasn’t just dangling a carrot.
As a teacher, I had that authority.
You know, nowadays the system for awarding financial aid and scholarships is as absurd as it gets.
Especially financial aid—our school is the richest in the city, yet it receives the largest amount of aid.
Instead of letting those who don’t need it squander it, it’s better to give the money to someone like Xia Qingyang who really needs it.
In a way, this isn’t really an abuse of power.
“But even if I help, there’s a big condition—you have to get a good score on your weekly test. Also, I noticed you left early after my class on Friday afternoon, so you’ll need to catch up on what you missed.”
“Seems fair…”
I hesitated a moment, then asked again.
“What other subjects did you have last Friday afternoon besides Chinese?”
“I think it was English and History.”
“Alright, I’ll help you catch up. But you have to study hard to get that financial aid.”
High school English and History, I, Guiye, can definitely handle tutoring those.
The reason why I’m asking her to study seriously for a week first is that if she could just suddenly fix her lateness, early leave, and absences, I and Yin would never have such headaches before reincarnation.
But once she manages to keep that up for a week, it’ll be much easier to get her to correct those habits.
At least then we won’t have to worry about her being advised to drop out.
Finally, we’ll work on getting rid of her sloppy habits.
Though academics are the priority at this age, forming good habits is equally important for Xia Qingyang.
“By the way, Teacher, are you hungry now? It’s mealtime~”
Hearing Xia Qingyang say that, I realized my stomach was indeed a little empty.
I hadn’t eaten anything since leaving Ning Xueyang’s house, and now it was already noon.
“Yeah, you’re right. Let’s eat first, then I’ll tutor you!”
“Okay, I’ll go make some instant noodles. One bowl each.”
After saying that, Xia Qingyang headed outside.
Hearing ‘instant noodles,’ I hurriedly called out to her.
“Wait, wait, come back! You can’t eat instant noodles!”
Xia Qingyang blinked at me, confused.
“What’s wrong with instant noodles? I eat them every day.”
Hearing that, I was even more annoyed.
“How can you say that! Eating instant noodles every day has no nutrition.”
“But I don’t know how to cook…”
“Is there a stove in this house?”
“89……”
“Then I’ll buy some ingredients and have them delivered. I’ll cook for you later. No more instant noodles!”
Hmph, as for why I eat instant noodles every day, it’s because my body has stopped growing, so it doesn’t matter what I eat.
But my student absolutely can’t do this! After all, she’s still growing.
