Chapter 35: Got A Little Henchman
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I want to hire Yi Juncheng as my tutor.”
“…” As if she were struck by lightning, Kang Weizhen froze, and after a long while, she forced a smile and asked, “Why him?”
“Because only he is qualified,” Sheng Yang said lightly then glanced at Kang Weizhen. If Mom insisted on disagreeing, she would just give up.
Although only Yi Juncheng was qualified, she could study the ciphers slowly on her own even without Yi Juncheng. It would only take her a little longer.
With Yi Juncheng tutoring her, however, she could discuss and exchange her thoughts with him, getting twice the result with half the effort.
And through their discussions last night, she discovered Yi Juncheng was quite insightful and could understand things she couldn’t.
Kang Weizhen lowered her head and pondered. She rejected Yi Juncheng because she wanted to observe him longer.
But now things were different. It was her daughter who requested him, so she planned to say yes.
“Who?” Sheng Yuxi asked, wondering what they were talking about.
In front of Yangyang, Kang Weizhen couldn’t explain much to him.
But after Sheng Yang went to school, Sheng Yuxi asked again, “Who is Yi Juncheng? Why did Sister want him to tutor her? Did she forget someone at home?”
He said in a jealous tone, pointing to himself.
Kang Weizhen turned a blind eye to his movements. Yuxi’s grades weren’t bad in high school but he wasn’t that good nation-wide.
But Young Master Yi was different. He was even more brilliant than her eldest and second sons and was versatile, so he was more than enough to tutor Yangyang.
Therefore, she only replied to Sheng Yuxi’s first question. “Yi Juncheng is our new neighbor and he knew your sister from before. Now that your sister requested it, so be it.”
Then she glanced at him again, worrying if he would mess things up.
Forget it. I’ll discuss it with Yangyang’s father when he comes back.
Sheng Yuxi touched his face. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but why did he somehow feel that he was despised by his mother just now?
But he still understood that the neighbor next door was smart, so his sister chose the neighbor over him.
Sheng Yuxi’s eyes were suddenly filled with a fighting spirit. It seemed that he needed to meet this neighbor!

As soon as Sheng Yang arrived in Class 7 and took her seat, Ou Ye walked over and bowed to Sheng Yang. “God of Studies, I was stupid to say that I could teach you math. From now on, you’re my idol.”
Sheng Yang raised her eyebrows, saying flatly, “Okay.”
She didn’t even pretend to be modest.
Is this the trend here? Call the first place scorer an “Idol”?
That being the case, she would just follow the customs.
Fang Duo, the sweet little girl, hurriedly shielded her from Ou Ye, trying to protect Sheng Yang, but she was a bit amused when she saw Ou Ye’s stunned look.
Ou Ye always teased her but she never successfully fought back. Now, he finally had a nemesis.
Upon hearing their conversation, the other students gathered around. “Haha, Sheng Yang, from now on, you’re Ou Ye’s idol. Just make him run errands for you.”
“Yes, Sheng Yang, Ou Ye said it himself. Now you’ve got a little henchman.”
“This new classmate is so interesting. I like her!”
Because of Sheng Yang’s agreement, everyone felt she was easy-going and had a good sense of humor. Instantly, everyone felt relaxed and no longer flinched from approaching her like before.
