Chapter 24: Tutor

Is the focus on not letting you attend tutoring?

Very well, I see through you, Asuna Yuuki. So that's the kind of person you are.

Naoki Kirigaya's mouth twitched slightly, but considering that children say what they mean and adults shouldn't hold grudges, he wouldn't dwell on the yellow-haired girl's mistake.

He cleared his throat and said softly, "I can become your tutor."

Asuna Yuuki's eyes widened, and she stared straight at Naoki Kirigaya. She said, "Are you sure my mother will believe you?"

A sharp light flashed in Naoki Kirigaya's eyes. He said confidently, "I believe that gold shines wherever it goes."

Asuna Yuuki fell into deep thought, considering the feasibility of the plan.

She asked the boy again, a little uncertain, "Are you sure it'll work?"

Naoki Kirigaya thought for a moment, unable to imagine the possibility of failure, and nodded confidently, "No problem."

Looking at the boy's boastful appearance, and thinking about what the boy had said before, her mind couldn't help but become active. She gritted her teeth, thinking about the countless days and nights she had been forced to spend in tutoring, and with a determined heart, she decided to risk being scolded and give it a try.

So, Asuna Yuuki turned around and grabbed the boy, starting to walk back.

"Eh, Yuuki-chan, what's this? Aren't you going to class?" Naoki Kirigaya was dragged along by the girl.

"What class? You go talk to my mother first."

It was clear that Asuna Yuuki wasn't the kind of student who liked to study.

The doorbell rang, and a somewhat stern voice came from inside the house.

"Who is it?" Soon, the door was opened, and a woman with short hair in her thirties came out, looking like an extremely mean lady.

When she saw Asuna Yuuki, her expression turned gloomy.

Giving an even stronger first impression of being mean.

"Asuna, why didn't you go to tutoring?" Kyouko Yuuki asked with a stern face.

It was clear that she was in a bad mood.

Asuna Yuuki subconsciously shrank her neck. It was clear that the young Asuna was extremely afraid of her mother.

But thinking that there was a friend behind her, she mustered up her courage and said, "Mother, I have something to discuss with you." After saying that, she revealed the yellow-haired boy behind her.

Kyouko Yuuki was stunned. She saw Naoki Kirigaya behind her, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "You're that child prodigy, aren't you?"

Naoki Kirigaya was slightly surprised. He said, "Have you seen me before?"

Kyouko Yuuki didn't say anything, glanced at Asuna Yuuki, made way for them, her expression softened, and said directly, "Come in."

Asuna Yuuki subconsciously let the boy go in first. She hid behind Naoki Kirigaya, it was clear that she was chickening out.

Naoki Kirigaya found it funny and didn't care too much, walking into the house casually, taking off his shoes at the entrance.

The Yuuki's house was very large, decorated luxuriously. Most of the facilities in the house had a simple and elegant charm, giving the feeling of a scholarly family at first glance.

Kyouko Yuuki led Naoki Kirigaya to the living room, pointed to the chair opposite and motioned for the two to sit down, and said, "What would you like to drink?"

"Plain water, thank you." Naoki Kirigaya wasn't embarrassed at all, and said his request generously.

Kyouko Yuuki nodded slightly and went to the kitchen to get a glass of plain water.

While she was gone, Asuna Yuuki leaned in close to his ear and said, "Is it okay?"

Naoki Kirigaya patted his chest and said, "No problem, I've passed IELTS, can't I teach you?"

Hearing this, Asuna Yuuki breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat.

Kyouko Yuuki quickly walked to the boy with a glass of plain water and placed the water in front of the boy.

Naoki Kirigaya said, "Thank you."

Kyouko Yuuki walked to the other side and said, "What is it?"

Naoki Kirigaya subconsciously looked at Asuna Yuuki, but Asuna Yuuki also looked at him.

The two blinked.

Okay, okay, okay.

Was this girl really that timid? Noticing the abnormality between the two, Kyouko Yuuki subconsciously frowned.

Naoki Kirigaya cleared his throat a few times and said, "Madam, I would like to become Asuna Yuuki's tutor, teaching her English. At the same time, my French and German are also quite good, so I can also handle her other language subjects."

Kyouko Yuuki was silent, tapping her fingers on the table.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Naoki Kirigaya had no choice but to say a few casual words.

But unexpectedly, Kyouko Yuuki started chatting with Naoki Kirigaya.

"Why do you want to become a tutor?" Kyouko Yuuki's speech was fast, but her pronunciation was exceptionally standard. This sentence was said in English.

After thinking for a moment, Naoki Kirigaya said, "I guess I have a connection with your daughter, and I just happen to want a part-time job to earn some money."

"Then, what can you teach?"

"English, German, French, Chinese, all of them. Other subjects in junior high and high school are not a problem for me. You can rest assured and leave your child to me."

Kyouko Yuuki thought for a moment and continued, "You can do German and French too?" This sentence was said in French.

"Naturally." Naoki Kirigaya replied in French as well.

"Then, what is your salary?" Kyouko Yuuki continued.

But this question almost made him laugh.

Because Kyouko Yuuki spoke in Chinese, and it was a very awkward kind.

Naoki Kirigaya suppressed his laughter and said directly, "My expected salary is 5,000 yen per hour."

It was rare to hear the familiar mother tongue after a long time. As a Chinese person, his own language could never be unfamiliar.

Naoki Kirigaya's pronunciation was very standard, so standard that Kyouko Yuuki felt a little embarrassed.

After clearing her throat, she said, "Okay, I can let you teach Asuna. I will assess her every month. If she doesn't meet my expectations, then your task will be over."

Kyouko Yuuki had her own considerations in doing so. Although the boy was a child prodigy, the knowledge reserve and teaching were completely different.

A knowledgeable person is not necessarily suitable for educating others, and similarly, a person who is suitable for educating others is not necessarily knowledgeable.

The Yuuki family was not short of money. On the contrary, they were very rich, but they paid more attention to education.

Especially the education of their children.

The reason why she agreed to the boy's proposal was also to observe the boy.

She had known the name of the child prodigy for a long time. She had seen him on TV before, and she had scoffed at it, thinking it was a gimmick created by the media to promote traffic. But now that she saw him, she didn't expect the rumors to be true, which surprised her quite a bit.

But surprise aside, she could still understand it to some extent.

There were indeed such people in this era. The boy was undoubtedly in the ranks of geniuses. Since the rumors were not false, then she could try to win over this boy.

Thinking of this, she looked at the boy with yellow hair.
