My Taoist nun girlfriend is from the Republic of China era, 1942.

Chapter 125 Teacher Bai
Lu Yuan always went along with Chen Xiaomiao.

In the past, she had an instinctive fear of this bizarre new world and always felt that living a peaceful and uneventful life was good enough.

Lu Yuan let her be and never imposed his so-called modern values ​​on her.

Now that the girl has a breakthrough and wants to acquire more modern knowledge, Lu Yuan is happy to help.

Lu Lei was extremely efficient; the tutor from the capital arrived in Jiangcheng in just one day.

The doorbell rang, and Chen Xiaomiao's heart pounded.

She took a deep breath, ran to open the door, and stared at the strange woman outside, her palms sweating with nervousness.

"Are you Teacher Bai?"

The woman outside the door was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. She had neat, shoulder-length short hair and minimal makeup, looking clean and pleasant.

She wore a plain cotton and linen dress, not a designer brand, but she wore it with a scholarly air, exuding an intellectual and dignified charm.

"Hello, Ms. Chen, my name is Bai Jing."

The woman smiled gently, her voice soft but clear: "In the days to come, let's learn from each other and make progress together."

Bai Jing's demeanor was generous and cheerful, without any airs of a teacher, which greatly eased Chen Xiaomiao's nervousness.

"Please come in, Teacher Bai."

As I changed my shoes and entered the house, before I could even stand still, a black and white figure darted over with a "whoosh."

Erbaiwu wagged his tail, stuck out his big tongue, and looked like he was about to pounce on Bai Jing.

Bai Jing was startled by the dog's sudden enthusiasm and instinctively took a half step back, her face turning pale.

"You idiot!" Chen Xiaomiao's eyebrows shot up, and she yelled, "Get out of here on the balcony! If you keep making a scene, you won't get any dinner!"

The fool let out a pitiful "woof," tucked his tail between his legs, and slunk away.

Chen Xiaomiao quickly apologized: "I'm so sorry, Teacher Bai, did this bastard scare you?"

Bai Jing regained her composure, waved her hand, and smiled again: "It's okay, it's okay, she looks quite cute, it's just... I've been a little afraid of dogs since I was little."

"Don't worry, it won't bite, it's very well-behaved."

"Ah."

Bai Jing nodded and went with Chen Xiaomiao to the study, which had been converted from a guest room, and sat down at the table.

"That Miss Chen..."

Bai Jing took a folder out of her cloth bag and got straight to the point: "I heard you didn't receive much systematic basic education before, is that right?"

Chen Xiaomiao nodded shyly: "Teacher Bai, you can just call me Xiaomiao."

“Okay, Xiao Miao.” Bai Jing readily agreed: “Then don’t call me teacher anymore, just call me Sister Jing, it sounds more friendly.”

She pulled out a few photocopied papers and pushed them in front of Chen Xiaomiao: "Before we officially start class, I want to get a general idea of ​​your knowledge base. Don't be nervous, just write whatever comes to mind."

The first one is in English.

It has pictures of apples and bananas printed on it, with basic English words like "apple" and "banana" labeled next to it.

Chen Xiaomiao looked down and saw that the foreign letters looked like garbled symbols twisted together, making her dizzy.

Bai Jing immediately realized the problem, and calmly took away the English test paper, saying gently, "It's okay, look at this one."

The second one is math.

Chen Xiaomiao wasn't intimidated. Lu Yuan had taught her Arabic numerals and addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, so she learned quickly and was proficient with the abacus.

She did fairly well on the basic calculations in the first half of the test.

But when the equations and geometric figures came up later, she was completely lost again.

Bai Jingjing observed quietly, and only handed over the last Chinese language test paper after Chen Xiaomiao put down her pen.

Aside from the initial section on pinyin, Chen Xiaomiao wrote this test paper with exceptional ease.

Although it was the first time she had seen this type of question in the reading comprehension section, she wrote down her own thoughts and ended up writing quite a lot.

Bai Jing was increasingly surprised.

These three test papers were not ordinary test papers; they were specially prepared by her, with difficulty ranging from easy to difficult and covering a wide range of topics.

She had initially thought Chen Xiaomiao was a lucky mountain girl who had caught the eye of a rich young master, completely illiterate. But now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.

Especially in the last part of the Chinese exam, the translation and analysis questions on classical Chinese texts—while Chen Xiaomiao's answers didn't entirely conform to the standard format, the understanding revealed between the lines was even more profound than that of many regular high school students. Not to mention her handwriting—her delicate, tiny regular script was neat and beautiful, exuding a calm strength; even nowadays, people who understand calligraphy might not be able to write with that kind of flair.

This girl... her accent is a bit rustic, but she looks like she's received a proper traditional education.

Where can you find a girl like that in today's society?

Bai Jing had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She put away the test paper and felt confident.

"Okay, Xiao Miao, I have a general understanding of your situation."

She opened the textbooks she had brought and began to formally teach Chen Xiaomiao.

The morning flew by, and after the class ended, Bai Jing packed her things and prepared to leave.

When she arrived in the living room, she discovered that there was a man in the house at some point.

Lu Yuan was leaning back on the sofa, lazily scrolling through his phone.

Hearing the noise, he looked up, his face expressionless: "Teacher Bai, thank you for your hard work."

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

Before coming, Lü Lei had given instructions, and Bai Jing knew Lu Yuan's identity, so she nodded politely.

Lu Yuan hummed in agreement, turned off his phone, and stood up: "Let me see you off, Teacher Bai."

"No need to trouble yourself..."

"fine."

Lu Yuan insisted, so Bai Jing did not refuse again.

Upon arriving at the underground parking garage, Bai Jing sensibly opened the back door and got in.

Lu Yuan started the car and casually asked as he drove, "How are you feeling, Teacher Bai? Did Xiao Miao give you any trouble?"

Bai Jing responded politely, "It's not a problem. Xiao Miao is very smart and quick to understand. She grasps many things very easily."

Lu Yuan smiled and teased, "Do all teachers praise children like this in front of parents?"

Bai Jing responded to Lu Yuan's joke, "The main thing is that the students are indeed excellent, which makes things easier for us teachers."

The atmosphere inside the car relaxed, and Lu Yuan suddenly changed the subject.

"Teacher Bai, you must find it strange that you're teaching Xiao Miao, right?"

Bai Jing's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained calm.

"Fortunately, each student has their own unique characteristics."

"I hope you won't take it too seriously, Teacher Bai, and just focus on doing your job well."

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, "Some teachers these days treat their students as gossip fodder, talking about them in front of outsiders without caring what the children and parents think."

Teacher Bai, you were sent by Uncle Lü, and I trust your professionalism.

If you were to teach Chen Xiaomiao, you would surely discover her unusual nature, unlike that of modern people.

Therefore, Lu Yuan dared not hire ordinary tutors, but instead asked Lü Lei to send someone he trusted.

Bai Jing nodded solemnly: "Mr. Lu, rest assured, I understand."

The car drove into a high-end villa area and stopped in front of a detached villa.

As soon as Bai Jing got out of the car, a little girl with pigtails rushed out of the house, grabbed her leg, and called out in a childish voice.

"Mom, I don't want to live here. I want to go back to my hometown... The kids at the new kindergarten don't play with me."

The little girl pouted, her eyes red-rimmed.

Bai Jing bent down, picked up her daughter, and gently comforted her before sending her back to the villa.

Lu Yuan, who was in the car, was startled when he heard the sound.

Lü Jiaxin?
Surname Lü?

He had a slight thought and looked at Bai Jing.

Bai Jing turned around and met Lu Yuan's gaze with a calm smile.

"Mr. Lu, can you trust me now?"
