The Escort

o work hard are a good thing, but if you have time, you also need to relax and take a break or you could try going on a date.
You see, at your age, you look like an ascetic monk.”

Shao Mingwei never expected that Professor Xue, who always emphasizes that learning should be treated with single-hearted devotion would say something like this.
Knowing that he was doing it for his own good, he felt warm in his heart.
He smiled and said, “I know.”

Professor Xue packed up his things.
The two of them intend to go to the cafeteria to have dinner.

Shao Mingwei hesitated when he said, “Professor Xue.” 

“En?”

Shao Mingwei opened his mouth, “It’s nothing… I just want to ask what you want to eat later.”

“Oh! I remember, the head chef of the cafeteria has recently endorsed a jiangzhouhua dish.
My wife has started paying attention to my diet lately that even a bit of oil is not allowed to touch me.
It’s really difficult, let alone try and eat this jiangzhouhua.”

Shao Mingwei laughed and said, “Okay.” 

As soon as the conversation was interrupted, the courage he once had was pierced like a deflated balloon whose gas rushed out ever so quickly.
It is rare for Shao Mingwei to be so indecisive.
He silently laughed at himself.
He had no other option but to put the matter aside for the time being.

Afterwards, Shao Mingwei contacted the employer, and when he heard the other party introduce herself as Ms.
Min, he was taken aback, then he silently reminded himself to not be oversensitive and stop associating everything he could think of to Min Yu.
Ms.
Min’s husband is surnamed Qi, and her daughter’s name is Qi Jingchun. Mrs.
Qi discussed with him that every Saturday and Sunday, each make-up lessons will last for three hours, from 2:30 until 5:30 in the afternoon.

Shao Mingwei said that it’s okay.

The other person’s family lives in a well-known local residential area.
A little far from Q University, but sending a driver to pick him up is not really necessary. 

Shao Mingwei immediately checked and learned that it was possible to take two buses to reach the destination and so he tactfully declined.

This way, Shao Mingwei took the job with alacrity.

In the third week of make-up class, Shao Mingwei got off the bus as usual.
Entering June, the weather immediately rose.
The sun is shining magnificently at the peak of the afternoon, turning into a blistering heat.

Mrs.
Qi’s living condition was not only good, as what Professor Xue said at the beginning, but it turned out to be very good.
Despite being born with a calm nature, when Shao Mingwei entered the well-known residential area for the first time and saw the exterior design of Mrs.
Qi’s house, he was a little shocked. 

After getting off the bus, you still have to walk for ten minutes to reach the destination.
When Shao Mingwei arrived, there were small beads of sweat on his forehead and his face showed a slight redness.
The housekeeper opened the gate for him and hurriedly brought him a glass of water and towel, then suggested that he could just let the house driver pick him up.

Shao Mingwei had a humble and honest personality, and he is a very good-looking person.
Even the housekeeper treats him favorably and is very fond of him.

Shao Mingwei rejected the housekeeper’s suggestion and went upstairs.
He knocked on Qi Jingchun’s door and heard a crackle and rattle inside the room, then a while later, a voice sounded “come in”.

Shao Mingwei pushed the door in and said with a smile, “What are you doing?” 

Qi Jingchun looked from her left and right.
“Nothing.
Shao laoshi, what will be our lesson for today?”

Shao Mingwei didn’t think that she really wanted to know, but he still said, “Factors.”

“Ah—evil mathematics.” Qi Jingchun’s face looked like she had nothing left to live for.

Shao Mingwei amusedly opened his schoolbag and took out the reference books with marked learning key points.
Although Qi Jingchun is a bit mischievous, she’s very smart.
Only she doesn’t put her mind into studying.
Her several former teachers were all vexed by her happy-go-lucky attitude, but Shao Mingwei made the summarized learning key points in a neat and tidy manner that can be easily understood.
But more importantly, the young girl was smart and could easily understand. 

Qi Jingchun’s mischievousness dwindled down a lot, and she started studying seriously.
When her monthly exam results came, a little improvement could be seen.
Mrs.
Qi repeatedly thanked Shao Mingwei and even insisted on sending his pay in advance.

When they took a break, Shao Mingwei was thirsty, so he went downstairs to drink.
Below the corner of the stairs, Mrs.
Qi, who is currently at home, can be seen chatting with someone in a relaxed and affectionate manner.
Seeing him come down, she greeted with a smile, “Shao laoshi, what’s the matter?”

Shao Mingwei replied, “I came down to drink…” Before he could finish speaking, he had already descended to the first floor and was already facing the person that Mrs.
Qi was talking to.

When the person saw him, he showed a bit of a surprised expression, dispelling the suspicion that flashed in Shao Mingwei’s mind. 

Shao Mingwei reacted quickly and greeted him.
“Mr.
Min.”
