Jiang Li was invited by the old man into the house. Chi Fang was still standing at the door, holding the door handle, and didn’t move. He was really baffled by the fact that Jiang Li had suddenly become his tutor.

“Xiao Fang, what are you standing there for, come and serve.” The old man saw Chi Fang only standing still at the door, and called out to him.

“Oh.”

Chi Fang bristled, closed the door, returned to the living room, and took the teapot from the hands of the old man to pour tea for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li saw this and hurriedly stood up, waved his hand, and said, “No need to serve me.”

“That’s not okay.” The old man disapproved and told Chi Fang to treat Jiang Li well, and he went back to the kitchen.

The only two people left in the living room were Jiang Li and Chi Fang. Chi Fang poured Jiang Li a cup of tea and then sat on a chair beside him. He lowered his voice and asked Jiang Li what was going on.

Jiang Li told Chi Fang about their encounter in the bookstore and how after the old man had found out that they were schoolmates, he had requested him to help tutor Chi Fang. 

“Impossible.” Chi Fang didn’t believe his words. “Although the old man is unreliable sometimes, he won’t simply find someone to tutor me.”

He wanted to ask Jiang Li if he had set up the old man but thought that Jiang Li shouldn’t be such a person, so he threatened in a low voice, “Honestly explain now, or you will be swept out of the house.”

“The old man asked me how many points I got in English, and as soon as I told him, he asked me to come over.” Jiang Li said in a soft voice.

“…” Chi Fang remembered the high score of 148 on Jiang Li’s unit exam paper and was somewhat dumbfounded. This score was indeed able to give him a remedial lesson.

Jiang Li looked at him, speechless and slightly mad. A smile flashed across his eyes and he added naughtily, “The old man also told me that you only scored sixty points, so I decided to come to help you make up for the lesson.”

“…”

You only scored sixty points. Although his points were really too shabby to look at in front of Jiang Li, when he heard the word “only”, he didn’t feel good – as if he was useless – so he dissed back, “There are so many people who failed exams in school, how come I didn’t see you give them extra lessons? You’re just poking your nose into others’ business like dogs catching mice.”

“But they didn’t save me before.” Jiang Li said without thinking and wasn’t angry at Chi Fang comparing him to a dog. He looked at him with seriousness, “My life was saved by you, but I have nothing to repay you, only this learning ability may be able to help you.”

Chi Fang was stunned by his words.

Jiang Li took a deep breath, clenching his fists tightly that were placed on his lap. His eyes fixed on him. He sounded as if he was pleading, “Let me try, I will teach you well, okay?”

His eyes were clear and bright, like the light that brightened up the darkness, with a firm and pleading look in his eyes; as if the matter of tutoring Chi Fang was not enough compared to the kindness of him saving Jiang Li, he really placed the kindness of Chi Fang who saved him in his heart at all times.
