When get out of class ended, Youcai, who had been quiet and well-behaved like a kitten, suddenly timidly handed me a piece of paper.

Gu Feng didn't take it, nor did he look down at the paper. He just stared at her with a fierce look in his eyes, the meaning of which was all too clear: What the hell are you up to now?

Rapeseed's eyes were as clear and bright as ever, as if she kept them moist with sparkling eye drops every day; her expression was still shy and timid.

A woman of such delicate beauty would be the object of affection for at least 9,999 out of 10,000 men.

Unfortunately, Gu Feng was the only exception.

However, in the end, he was still defeated by her innocent and naive appearance, and reached out to grab the paper.

Instead of being annoyed, Youcai seemed quite pleased, and said with a gentle smile, "Gu Fengjun, this is the tutoring schedule I specially arranged for you. Please take a look."

Gu Feng was skeptical, but when he looked down, he was immediately startled.

This is a schedule for English and Latin lessons: one hour of Latin lessons after school at noon from Monday to Friday; one and a half hours of English lessons after school in the afternoon; and five hours of lessons for each subject on Saturday and Sunday.

"Youcai, do you think this arrangement is reasonable?" Gu Feng asked, suppressing his anger and trying to appear polite.

Rapeseed spoke slowly and deliberately, neither too hastily nor too arrogantly: "I personally think it's reasonable. Don't you Chinese have a saying, 'The early bird catches the worm'? And another, 'Diligence can make up for clumsiness, learning can cure ignorance, and frugality can cultivate integrity'; and 'There is a path to the mountain of books, and diligence is the way; the sea of ​​learning is boundless, and hard work is the boat'..."

"Stop, stop, stop—" Gu Feng interrupted her impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and get straight to the point."

"Gu Fengjun, you're already starting much later than others. If you don't catch up intensively, it will be difficult for you to keep up with the other students." Youcai still only said some perfunctory and innocuous words.

"That makes sense, but if I keep doing this, will I have any personal time left?" Gu Feng retorted confidently.

"Gu Feng, I'm giving you the schedule just for your review, not to ask for your opinion. So you don't need to tell me your thoughts." Youcai's expression remained gentle and reserved, her tone soft as water, but none of the words uttered from her cherry-red lips were things Gu Feng wanted to hear. "I only agreed to tutor you; whether you have time or not is not my problem."

"Bang!" Gu Feng couldn't help but slam his hand on the table—of course, he didn't dare use his inner strength; he still needed the table for reading and writing. But his handsome face was already flushed with anger, even showing signs of twitching. He gritted his teeth, staring at Youcai, enunciating each word clearly, "What if I don't do it?"

"If you won't do it, we will!" The group of boys watching the commotion mentally added the second half of the sentence for him.

The group of girls who also turned around to watch the show had an air of wanting to stir up trouble, their faces full of schadenfreude.

Their thoughts couldn't be clearer—if we can't have it, no one else can either.

"Gu Feng-jun, please think about the consequences before you speak." Youcai's tone remained indifferent.

"Don't even think about it, I'm telling you right now—I'm not doing it! I won't do it even if you pay me! Go find someone else to do it!" Gu Feng's attitude was extremely arrogant.

Before she could finish speaking, Youcai suddenly stood up, without saying a word, and turned to leave.

Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed her hand, his voice panicked: "Where are you going?"

Holding that soft, boneless little hand in my palm, it was slightly cool yet warm, tender and smooth, the touch was simply impeccable.

"Gu Fengjun, please let go." Youcai blushed and her eyes welled up with tears, looking exactly like someone who had suffered a great injustice.

Gu Feng turned around and saw that all his classmates were staring at him with reproachful eyes. He felt embarrassed and awkwardly let go of his hand.

But as soon as she let go, she turned around and walked straight toward the classroom door.

So, the whole class turned their sympathetic and pitying gazes back to Gu Feng. No need to ask—this talented student, "unafraid of violence," had definitely gone to complain to the emperor.

Sure enough, a moment later, Yan Xinyue, her hair standing on end in a rage, led her classmate Youcai, who looked like a wronged little wife, into the classroom and stormed up to Gu Feng in a few steps.

With a loud "bang," Yan Xinyue slammed her hand on the table—it was unclear whether her hand hurt or not, but Gu Feng's table looked like it was about to fall apart.

"Gu Feng! Don't you know what's good for you? How many times do I have to scold you before you listen? Do you really think you're some kind of invincible cow? Don't think you're so great just because Old Peng thinks highly of you! Let me tell you—if you really piss me off, I won't give face to the Emperor himself!" Yan Xinyue roared in fury, shouting and yelling like a shrew. "I'll ask you one last time, do you miss this book or not?"

"Read... I have to read it," Gu Feng replied awkwardly.

"If you're going to study, why did you refuse when your classmate Youcai offered to tutor you? Didn't you promise in front of the whole class just now? How long has it been, and you're already going back on your word? For a man to be so untrustworthy—you're a disgrace to men!"

Yan Xinyue was so angry that she almost couldn't catch her breath and had to stop panting.

"Teacher, please calm down. It's not that I don't want to learn, it's just that the tutoring time that Youcai arranged...

"Isn't the time too short?" Yan Xinyue interrupted him before he could finish, slamming the tutoring schedule down in front of him. "You're right, I also think the time is indeed a bit short. The lunch break is only two and a half hours at most, and half an hour is enough after deducting lunch and bathroom breaks. Since we've already planned for an hour of tutoring, the remaining time isn't enough for sleeping. If you're drowsy, it will affect your afternoon classes. Besides, how can a young person waste all their precious time sleeping? As the saying goes, time is money. Eating and then sleeping makes you fat, and when you're fat, your head gets foggy; when your head is foggy, you can't concentrate on studying; when you can't concentrate on studying, your grades will naturally suffer; and when your grades suffer, my bonus will... cough!" Yan Xinyue cleared her throat. "I think we should do it this way, add another hour to the lunch break, making it two hours."

Gu Feng was shocked and hurriedly cried out, "Teacher... old... old..."

"You don't need to call me anymore. I know you must also think that the teacher is particularly good at arranging and utilizing time, right?" Yan Xinyue's voice was gloomy, and her gaze was piercing as she stared directly at Gu Feng.

"Yes...yes..." Would Gu Feng dare to say a single word of dissent? Unless he really didn't want to stay in this business anymore.

"Well, since Gu Feng agrees with the teacher's arrangements, I'll help you organize your afternoon schedule as well."

"Ah—" Gu Feng couldn't help but scream again.

"Gu Feng, I know you are grateful to your teacher. But while gratitude is understandable, please don't get so emotional."

"T-Teacher..." Gu Feng's heart clenched in agony. What does it mean to be ruthless like a woman? The scene before him was a living example!

"Alright, enough with the flattery, the teacher doesn't like it. Shut up—do you hear me!" Yan Xinyue waved her hand sternly, interrupting him with a stern shout.

"Nobody wants to flatter you! I'd love to slap your butt!" Gu Feng felt so wronged he wanted to cry and beg for mercy.

"As for the afternoon, I think it's easy. School ends at 4:30 anyway, and as far as I know, Gu Feng, you never participate in any extracurricular activities after school. Since that's the case, you should have plenty of time. Anyway, when you get home, you just eat, sleep, and wait for dawn. I think we should extend that one and a half hours to three hours. As for Saturdays and Sundays—since you're free anyway, and awake anyway, why not extend the tutoring to eight hours? It's a bit tight, but Gu Feng, you need to understand: 'If you don't work hard when you're young, you'll regret it when you're old.' If you don't seize the opportunity now and give it your all, you'll regret it later. Understand?"

"Okay..." Gu Feng replied weakly, his head bowed. At this moment, he desperately missed Peng Liangpei. If she were here, these two tigresses wouldn't dare to ride roughshod over him like this!

"Since you have no objections, shall we settle this?" Yan Xinyue pressed, her face grim.

Gu Feng's face scrunched up like a bitter gourd as he nodded helplessly.

The girl next to her, who was also very talented, didn't seem happy either—this meant that she had also wasted all her own time.

This is clearly a lose-lose situation where you kill a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of your own.
