Chapter 50 The Dirty Adult

The fifty-minute math tutoring session went much more smoothly than expected.

Under Lin Yu's candy temptation, the little girl studied quite diligently.

When Xuanxuan solved the last calculation problem correctly, the clock on the wall pointed to four o'clock.

Lin Yu told her to rest for ten minutes, and Xuanxuan immediately jumped off the chair, ran out of the room, and then ran back.

"Mom says it's ready to eat!"

She held up a small plate in her hand, which contained several small cookies that Lin Yu had just brought.

"Mom said she wants to share it with Teacher Lin and Teacher Chen!"

The little girl presented the small plate to Lin Yu like a treasure.

Lin Yu took a piece and took a bite.

Xuanxuan nodded in satisfaction, then picked up the plate and went to find Chen Shuyan.

Chen Shuyan also reached out and picked up a piece.

"tasty."

The little girl left crumbs all over the table as she ate.

Xuanxuan's mother put out five cookies in total. Lin Yu and Chen Shuyan each took one, and the rest all went into Xuanxuan's stomach.

Xuanxuan finished the last cookie, her hands still covered in crumbs and powdered sugar.

She looked down at her hands, then looked up at Lin Yu, hesitated for a moment, and rubbed her fingertips on her clothes.

"Xuanxuan," Xuanxuan's mother's voice came from outside the door, "Hand."

Xuanxuan shrank her neck, slid off the chair, and ran to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Lin Yu took the opportunity to clean up the cookie crumbs on the table.

The faucet made a gurgling sound for a while, and Xuanxuan ran back, shaking her wet hands, her braid bouncing on her shoulder.

"Ms. Kobayashi!"

She raised both hands, showing off her freshly washed little hands.

The second half of the class was in English.

Xuanxuan's resistance to memorizing words was even more pronounced than Chen Shuyan described. After all, she's just a child and doesn't like things that require rote memorization.

Lin Yu didn't know whether learning English involved rote memorization or not; at least in his own learning experience, English was something like that.

In the initial learning stage, a certain amount of memorization is definitely necessary.

As soon as Xuanxuan opened her textbook, she slumped down, and the excitement she had just felt from eating candy and cookies quickly vanished.

"I don't want to memorize vocabulary," she muttered softly.

Lin Yu closed his textbook.

"Then let's not memorize it for now."

Xuanxuan raised her head.

"Look."

Lin Yu pulled out a photo from his phone; it was taken this morning.

In the photo, Lumi is lying on the stone steps of Zijin Mountain, sticking out her tongue. At that time, Lumi was extremely sleepy and listless; her double eyelids were even sticking out from exhaustion.

Xuanxuan leaned closer to look, her eyes gradually brightening.

"It's so fat."

"Dog," Lin Yu pointed at the screen, "This is a dog."

Xuanxuan stared at the photo and whispered, "dog..."

The worst thing you can do when learning a foreign language is to approach it with a translation mindset.

If you see something and immediately think of its Chinese name, and then try to recall its English name through association with the Chinese name, this is the worst approach.

The really good method is to try to understand something directly in English when you see it.

This is why childhood is the best time to learn a language, because these things haven't yet been ingrained in your subconscious.

This method is obviously more interesting than rigidly memorizing the alphabetical order from a notebook, and Xuanxuan is more likely to accept it.

The class ended at five o'clock.

After class, Xuanxuan was alone in her room building blocks and playing with dolls, while Lin Yu and Chen Shuyan were in the living room talking with Xuanxuan's mother.

The leather sofa in the living room was so soft that Lin Yu's bottom would even sink in a little when he sat down.

This was a high-end product he had never experienced before.

It's much more comfortable than the supposedly prestigious mahogany furniture in Lin Yu's house, and even more comfortable than the sofa Lin Yu sat on at IKEA.

Xuanxuan's mother brought two cups of tea from the kitchen.

She bent down and placed a cup in front of Lin Yu: "Here, Teacher Lin, have some tea."

He then placed another cup next to Chen Shuyan.

"Thank you, sister."

"Xuanxuan's mom, are you satisfied with today's situation?"

Before Lin Yu could even pick up his teacup, he heard Chen Shuyan speak.

Xuanxuan immediately smiled at her mother, her eyes crinkling, and looked at Lin Yu with satisfaction: "Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied."

"Just please don't give Xuanxuan so much candy anymore, Ms. Lin."

That's what she said, but there wasn't a hint of blame in her tone.

Lin Yu already knew that there were surveillance cameras installed in Xuanxuan's room before he arrived.

Lin Yu could completely understand this.

After all, it's not convenient for parents to come in during class, so having a monitor so they can check on the situation at any time would give them more peace of mind.

"Sister, you don't need to worry about that. After all, this is the first time you've met the child. You'll need to put in some effort to build a good relationship with him."

Lin Yu had already informed Xuanxuan's mother about giving her candy in private.

Every candy that Xuanxuan thought she had secretly eaten without her mother's knowledge was actually part of Xuanxuan's mother and Lin Yu's plan.

What a filthy adult!

"Don't worry, sister. I'll report to you about anything I give Xuanxuan from now on."

"Ms. Kobayashi, you don't need to be so formal. I'm not blaming you. It's just that kids should eat fewer snacks."

Xuanxuan's mother crossed her long legs, which were hidden under her pajamas, and her slippers dangled from the toes of her feet, which were clad in black stockings.

She waved her hand with a smile, her tone revealing her delight.

"But Ms. Kobayashi is right. After all, it's the first time we've met. The most important thing is that the child is willing to accept you."

"So, what's your opinion, sister?"

"Then it's settled. I think Xuanxuan likes Teacher Lin quite a bit."

"Oh! Thank you, sis!"

After chatting for a few more minutes about the course schedule, Lin Yu and Chen Shuyan got up to say goodbye when they realized it was almost time.

"Xuanxuan, come out for a moment." Xuanxuan's mother walked to the door and knocked. "Come and say goodbye to your teacher."

With a thud, footsteps sounded, and Xuanxuan ran out of the room, her two little pigtails bouncing on her head.

"Goodbye, Teacher Lin; goodbye, Teacher Chen."

Xuanxuan looked up and whispered.

Goodbye, Xuanxuan.

Lin Yu squatted down and shook hands with Xuanxuan, taking the opportunity to secretly slip a piece of candy into her hand.
