My skill tree increases every day.

I really like a quote from Chen Shuyan.

"what?"

"Didn't you just say he was a shady real estate agent?"

"Times have changed," Lin Yu said without changing his expression. "Those who understand the times are the heroes."

"I want to bring my talent to the world of tutoring."

Chen Shuyan couldn't help but smile slightly.

Chen Shuyan never expected Lin Yu to change so quickly. One second he was cursing the shady real estate agent, and the next he was begging to join him.

"Then I'll ask for you."

The elevator arrived, and Chen Shuyan stepped out, calmly saying, "If you're used to doing things your way, you can take care of Xuanxuan from now on."

"That would be terrible, wouldn't it? It would be like stealing your business!"

"It's okay."

The door opened.

Xuanxuan's mother is not old. She is wearing loose home clothes and is tall and has a full figure.

When the door opened, she was still wearing an apron, with a little flour stuck to the edge.

"Teacher Chen, you've arrived. This must be Teacher Lin, right?"

"Yes, Xuanxuan's mother, this is..."

"Sister, you can just call me Xiaolin. I'm Shuyan's classmate. Shuyan has been busy with something lately, so I'm here to help out temporarily."

Lin Yu took the initiative and used this suggestive language to make Xuanxuan's mother mistakenly believe that he was also Wu Dong's top student.

Although he verbally cursed the shady agency, Lin Yu knew in his heart that the people were paying money because they wanted the prestigious reputation of being a top student from Wudong University.

They still pay the money, but what's the point of sending someone a Qingzhou University of Technology?

Even if you are skilled and capable, it's inevitable that people will feel a little awkward.

"Oh my, this must be Mr. Kobayashi! He's such a handsome and talented man! Please come in!"

Xuanxuan's mother looked Lin Yu up and down and gave him a charming smile.

Xuanxuan's mother is probably not very old, looking to be under forty. She is well-maintained and still has a charming appearance.

At this moment, Xuanxuan's mother was very happy to be called "sister" by Lin Yu. She smiled so much that her eyes crinkled and she trembled with joy.

"Thank you, sis!"

Lin Yu was well-versed in the essence of the service industry, calling Xuanxuan's mother "sister" from left to right, which made her very happy.

Xuanxuan's mother smiled as she led the two inside:

"Ms. Chen's classmates must be reliable too. Xuanxuan is good in every other way, but she's shy and only listens to familiar people. We tried two different teachers before, but neither worked. She only listens to Ms. Chen. We were worried when Ms. Chen had something to do..."

"Oh, you flatter me, sister. I haven't even met Xuanxuan yet. Let's try it out today. If you're not satisfied, we can introduce other classmates to help."

"Oh, Ms. Lin is too modest. I trust you."

She pushed open the door and called out inside:

"Xuanxuan! Teacher Chen is here!"

The sound of footsteps approached from afar.

Xuanxuan peeked out of the room, her head adorned with two cute pigtails.

She first saw Chen Shuyan, her eyes curving into crescents, then saw Lin Yu walking over after changing his shoes, and immediately shrank back halfway.

"Xuanxuan," Aunt Zhou stepped forward and gently nudged her back, "This is Teacher Lin, didn't we talk about her this morning?"

Xuanxuan tugged at Aunt Zhou's sleeve, slowly moving out from behind her, head down, her voice muffled:

"Hello, Ms. Kobayashi."

Lin Yu squatted down to be at eye level with her.

"Xuanxuan, Teacher Lin brought you a gift," Lin Yu said with a smile. "Look."

Lin Yu took out a box of cookies from his small bag and showed it to Xuanxuan.

Xuanxuan blinked, her gaze falling on the cookie box with a cartoon dog printed on it.

"This is..." she asked softly.

"Puppy cookies." Lin Yu opened the box, revealing neatly arranged palm-sized cookies, each shaped like a dog's paw.

Lin Yu took out a cookie and handed it to Xuanxuan. He then put away the rest of the cookies and handed them to Xuanxuan's mother.

"We can eat the rest after class, and then we can ask Mom for it, okay?"

"it is good."

The little girl mumbled something while biting into a cookie.

"Say thank you, Ms. Lin." Xuanxuan's mother took the cookie box and patted Xuanxuan on the back.

"Thank you, Teacher Lin." Xuanxuan's voice was still soft, but she was no longer as shy as before.

Kids are so easy to please; a cookie is all it takes.

"Sister, don't give the child too many cookies, it'll cause cavities," Lin Yu said quietly to Xuanxuan's mother as she stood up.

He was afraid that Xuanxuan would overhear him and ruin the little bit of goodwill he had just built up.

"Ms. Kobayashi is so kind."

"Then let's begin the lesson."

Leading Xuanxuan into the study, Lin Yu spoke to her.

Xuanxuan nodded and obediently sat down on the stool.

Chen Shuyan didn't say anything, but simply moved a chair aside and sat down, watching quietly.

He had the demeanor of an interviewer.

Lin Yu was sitting next to Xuanxuan, explaining a problem to her.

Xuanxuan lay on the table, her braids hanging down onto her exercise book, struggling with that two-digit addition problem.

"Thirty-six plus forty-seven."

Lin Yu didn't tell her the answer directly, but instead looked around and saw a box of building blocks next to the table.

"Try it first, see if you can build it with building blocks."

"Use blue to represent the tens digit and red to represent the units digit."

Xuanxuan frowned, counted out three blue pieces and six red pieces, and then placed four blue pieces and seven red pieces on the other side.

"Can ten red building blocks be exchanged for one blue building block?" Lin Yu asked.

Xuanxuan stared at the pile of blocks, then her eyes suddenly lit up.

She quickly counted out ten red blocks and put them into the box, then took out a blue block from the box and added it in.

Then I counted the remaining two colors of building blocks.

"Thirty-six plus forty-seven... equals eight blue and three red eights!"

She tilted her head back, and her childish voice gradually grew louder.

"So how many do these building blocks represent?"

"Representative... eighty-three!"

"That's right!"

Lin Yu smiled and put a checkmark on his exercise book.

Xuanxuan stared at the red checkmark, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

"Here you go, Xuanxuan, you're so good! Here's a little candy for you." Lin Yu handed a candy to the little girl. "Eat it quickly, or you won't get any if your mom finds out!"

"Ugh!"

The little girl quickly unwrapped the candy and popped it into her mouth.

It seems that the little girl is not allowed to eat snacks at home.

No wonder a box of cookies could bribe them.

"Ms. Lin," Xuanxuan asked suddenly, a candy in her mouth, "Would you teach Ms. Chen like this too?"

Lin Yu paused for a moment.

"What?"

"I'm teaching her math using building blocks," Xuanxuan said earnestly.

"Yes, I do," Lin Yu laughed. Children's thinking is so jumpy. "Besides, Teacher Chen has already learned it."

"Did Ms. Kobayashi give her candy too?"

"Yes, Teacher Chen loves sweets."
