Chapter 55

“I just slept at home last night. As for sleeping in class, Teacher Li, I didn’t want to either, but I just couldn’t concentrate on anything…” Ye Fan looked aggrieved. He had never studied English since he was a child, so how could he listen to it?

“Can’t you listen?” Li Xiangting’s voice was unusually cold. In the end, it still came down to her not explaining things well enough.

“Well, from childhood to adulthood, I’ve never attended a single English class. Besides the twenty-four letters, I don’t know a single English word. Teacher, you start the class in English, and I really can’t understand it!”

Ye Fan answered honestly, his eyes filled with a sense of grievance and helplessness.

“It’s twenty-six letters…” Li Xiangting rolled her eyes at Ye Fan, then asked with some surprise, “You really don’t know a single English word?”

“Does ‘goodbye’ count? If so, I know a few…” Ye Fan asked cautiously.

“…” Li Xiangting was speechless. This was something even a three-year-old would know.

“How come you haven’t learned English? Even the worst schools offer English courses now…” Li Xiangting asked, somewhat puzzled.

“I’ve never been to school before, this is my first formal class!” Ye Fan said honestly.

“How could this be?” Li Xiangting was even more surprised. Could someone who had never been to school have such a thought?

Ye Fan nodded and recounted his experiences. He grew up in a mountain village that was almost completely isolated from the outside world. Children there rarely had the opportunity to go to school, and all the knowledge he had learned came from his grandfather. His grandfather was very knowledgeable, knowing almost everything from astronomy to geography, but the only thing he didn’t know was English. He was able to study at Linhai University this time because his aunt used connections, which is why he didn’t understand English at all.

“What’s your aunt’s name?” Li Xiangting frowned. Linhai University is one of the most famous universities in the country. To get into university without passing the exam, one needs to have a very strong background.

“Sikong Yanran!” Ye Fan replied honestly.

“So, you really don’t know any English at all?” Li Xiangting’s eyes lit up with realization, clearly knowing who Sikong Yanran was.

“Yes!” Ye Fan replied honestly. Of course, he wouldn’t tell Li Xiangting that he knew how to make love.

Li Xiangting sighed deeply. College English is very different from primary and junior high school English, especially at Linhai University. Everyone who can enter the university is a top student from various places. Even if these top students are unbalanced in their studies, they still know grammar and vocabulary in English, which is a basic subject. Therefore, college English usually directly teaches more profound grammar and so on. It is indeed harder than climbing to heaven to get someone who has never been exposed to English to understand it.

Does that mean I have to start teaching from scratch? But starting with the most basic vocabulary for one student is simply impossible.

“Ye Fan, would you like to learn English?” Thinking of this, Li Xiangting leaned forward again, placing one hand on the desk, thus exposing herself again.

Ye Fan “accidentally” glanced at her again, but immediately said, “I’m willing, of course I’m willing, but I just can’t listen to anything, I…” As he spoke, Ye Fan looked like he was about to cry, but his eyes kept glancing at Li Xiangting’s collar, and he didn’t look like he was really about to cry at all.

“It’s okay, as long as you’re willing, I’m willing to teach you from the beginning…” Li Xiangting didn’t notice Ye Fan’s furtive glances, or rather, even if she did notice, she didn’t pay much attention to them.

“Really?” Ye Fan asked, his face beaming with surprise.

“Of course it’s true, but the teacher can’t start from the beginning in class just because of you. By the way, are you a boarding student or a day student?” Li Xiangting suddenly thought of something.

“It’s a regular school…” Ye Fan replied honestly.

“Oh, okay. Starting today, come to my office after school every afternoon and I’ll give you extra lessons… After you’re done, I’ll take you home…” Li Xiangting made her decision. Being a teacher was her favorite profession, and her greatest achievement was teaching her students to become successful. Now that she had encountered a student who had never learned English before, how could she give up so easily?

“Teacher Li, isn’t this a bit inappropriate?” Ye Fan said, somewhat embarrassed.

“What’s wrong with it? Does your aunt disagree?” Li Xiangting frowned.

“No, no, I mean, wouldn’t this be too much of a delay for Teacher Li?” Ye Fan waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he was worried about disturbing Teacher Li’s rest time.

“What’s the point of delaying this? You’re my student, it’s my duty to teach you well…” Li Xiangting shook her head and said.

“Thank you so much, Teacher Li…” Ye Fan was overjoyed. The thought of spending every afternoon alone in this office with such a beautiful teacher made it hard to stay calm. If this went on for too long, feelings might develop between them, and something might accidentally happen…

hey-hey……

“Hehe, if you really want to thank me, then study harder every day and try to catch up with the other students as soon as possible!” Li Xiangting waved her hand dismissively.

“Don’t worry, Teacher Li, I will definitely live up to your expectations!” Ye Fan patted his chest and promised.

“Hehe, that’s good. By the way, what exactly happened between you and Wang Hao yesterday?”

Li Xiangting thought of the incident yesterday when a large group of thugs surrounded Ye Fan. Ye Fan didn’t hide anything and recounted what happened yesterday.

“This Wang Hao is getting bolder and bolder, but don’t worry, with the teacher here, no one can hurt you!” Li Xiangting frowned, quite annoyed, after hearing this!

“Thank you, teacher!” Ye Fan quickly said.

“Alright, class is about to start, you should go back to class now, remember to come over after school this afternoon…” Li Xiangting glanced at the time, the break between classes was about to end, and said quickly.

“Hmm!” Ye Fan nodded, glanced at Li Xiangting’s beautiful breasts again, and then turned and walked out with a lingering sense of satisfaction.

Seeing Ye Fan’s departing figure, a smile flashed across Li Xiangting’s face. This little guy is really bold. He dared to look at my chest at such close range. Other students wouldn’t dare to.

Shaking her head to banish the thought, Li Xiangting took out her textbooks and began preparing her lessons again. Although she had a powerful father, she was always meticulous in her work; she didn’t want to be remembered for her life as someone who relied on her father’s connections…
