Emma tried to get the thought out of her mind and focus on her work. After all, Dinh, Alex, David, Eric, and Haoran seemed to be really serious about today's lessons.
Emma felt guilty because she had wrongly assumed that these dumb students from class F wouldn't have the intention to study, especially considering these five boys came from affluent backgrounds. The stereotype for rich kids was that they were either lazy or arrogant. But these boys weren't like that at all.
'Do not judge a book by its cover,' she reminded herself.
"I've already given Haoran some tests to check his level of understanding on each subject, but I've yet to know yours. Therefore, I've prepared various subjects for each of you to answer, so I'll know your strengths and weaknesses. Later, I'll use your results as references to prepare suitable learning material." Emma started her class by distributing test sheets to her new students. "You don't need to do these tests now. Please bring them home and return them to me at our next meeting on Friday."
The four boys looked at each other and nodded. Emma reached out to ask Haoran for his book.
"Okay then. Let's begin. What did you learn this afternoon? Is there anything you want to ask?" She looked at the five of them with attentive eyes.
"We were studying Physics starting from chapter 40," Haoran said, handing over his book to Emma.
The girl flipped it to chapter 10 and skimmed its contents. Mr. Chen, the physics teacher, had also taught class A chapter 40, so she was quite familiar with the material.
"All right, this is very easy," Emma said. "Please open your books and I'll explain what's in there."
The first tutoring lesson between Emma and her five new students took place smoothly. They paid enough attention to the lessons delivered by her. From time to time, Alex and Dinh would joke around and tease each other, but Haoran's glare was enough to make them immediately behave and refocus on the lessons.
"Thank you for your cooperation today," Emma said as she finished her lesson. By then, two hours had passed.
"It's only 7 PM," said Haoran. "Just have dinner here. We've finished our first session so don't you think we have to celebrate it? My friends have also decided to stay for dinner. You should join us."
Emma saw all four heads bobbed at Haoran's words. Feeling compelled, Emma accepted. They all packed up their books and put them in their bags. Following that, they left Haoran's room and climbed down the stairs to enter the dining room.
Two servants were preparing sumptuous dinner dishes on the dining table for them.
"Let's eat!" said Haoran.
The other four boys immediately made themselves at home. They took their seats and sat facing the food. Emma turned her head left and right, looking for something.
"What are you looking for?" Haoran asked in puzzlement.
"Oh, no. I just wanted to know where your parents are. Are they not going to eat with us? I haven't met them."
Haoran's friends paused grabbing food and exchanged glances, it's like she had asked a forbidden question.
Haoran only shrugged. "Oh, my father doesn't live here. He lives with his young wife."
"Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't know," said Emma, regretting her meddling into Haoran's personal life.
"It's okay, I never told you. How could you possibly know?" The guy answered.
