Lin Shen had carefully thought this through before proactively offering to tutor Mo Juecheng.
He not only planned to tutor Mo Juecheng, but also to tutor Su Tiantian!
In the novel, Su Tiantian wasn’t very good at her cultural subjects, but she had a real talent for painting.
Later, she became a well-known new generation manga artist.
However, because of her poor grades, and some other reasons, Su Tiantian didn’t continue her university studies.
This became one of the main reasons why Mo Juecheng’s parents opposed them being together.
If the novel’s plot was allowed to play out as it was written, Su Tiantian and Mo Juecheng would take five whole years to break through the family’s stance and finally be together.
Five years!
Yan Shuo was already four years older than him.
If he really went back to his original world by then, who knew, maybe Yan Shuo would already have kids of his own!
Lin Shen couldn’t bear it!
So—
He had to tutor them!
He would train Su Tiantian into an all-round school idol with perfect grades in Chinese, Math, English, Science, and Biology.
He would make Mo Juecheng’s parents see for themselves that a well-rounded and excellent girl had been cultivated!
They would no longer have any excuse to block Su Tiantian and Mo Juecheng from being together just because of her poor grades!
“You…” Mo Juecheng raised the corner of his mouth, forming a wicked smile. “You want to tutor me?”
He seemed to have heard something funny.
Even the dark depths of his eyes flashed with amusement.
“Why should I let you?” Mo Juecheng scoffed. “Based on your score that’s under a hundred across five subjects?”
“That was an accident.” Lin Shen felt a little pained.
But what could he do?
He could only accept the exam scores his current body had gotten, even if it was reluctantly.
“With the recent physics exam, I shouldn’t be at the bottom anymore!” Lin Shen said confidently.
“Oh.” Mo Juecheng said, “So I need someone with over a hundred across six subjects to tutor me?”
“And your life really is full of accidents,” he added with a half-smile.
Lin Shen: “…”
What could he do?
From the time the original Lin Shen entered XingShang high school[mfn]In the raws, it’s supposed to be “middle school”, which is like the equivalent of grades 7-9. However, I thought that in this context, high school might be a better fit for the story.[/mfn], he had consistently been at the very bottom of the grade, even at the bottom of the whole school in the final exams.
His spot was always as steady as a rock, and no one could shake it!
Even someone like Qian Mingming, a strong competitor, couldn’t compete with him without simply handing in blank papers for two of the subjects.
“Well, how about…” Lin Shen thought for a moment. “After the physics score comes out, we’ll start tutoring for physics first?”
“Then after the next monthly exam, once you see my scores, we can go all-out with Chinese, Math, English, Science, and Biology,” he suggested to Mo Juecheng.
He was really anxious!
Looking at Su Tiantian’s current foundation, even if they started right now, Lin Shen wasn’t confident that she could improve enough before the college entrance exam.
After all, people with genius-level talent like his brother were rare.
“Why should I?” Mo Juecheng coldly spit out those three words again.
“I don’t need money!” Lin Shen said.
“Heh—” Mo Juecheng sneered. “Do you think I need money?”
He definitely didn’t need money.
In front of the teaching building, his Rolls-Royce Phantom, gleaming luxuriously under the sunlight, was parked.
And that was just one of the many luxury cars he owned.
Lin Shen hadn’t expected this.
His carefully thought-out, highly feasible perfect plan had been completely blocked by something he couldn’t have predicted!
Before he entered the novel, he was the top student everyone fought to borrow notes and past problem sets from.
He was stunned!
He forgot this was a school idol novel!
In such a story, did the male and female leads need to study?
No, they didn’t!
They just needed to fall in love!
“Your goal…” Mo Juecheng asked, his eyes scanning Lin Shen’s face several times.
“What exactly is it?”
He squinted slightly, a cold gleam flashing in his deep eyes.
Lin Shen… was he trying to get his attention?
Heh—
Well, Lin Shen succeeded.
Since noon, Lin Shen had indeed taken up space in his mind.
Mo Juecheng had even, for the first time, ordered someone to look into Lin Shen’s
grades.
Even Su Tiantian, who had transferred to the school this semester and was exceptionally unique, didn’t make Mo Juecheng put in such effort.
“I want to tutor you, and Su Tiantian as well.” Lin Shen said sincerely.
He looked up at Mo Juecheng. “Mo Juecheng, have you heard this saying?”
“There’s beauty in the book itself!”
“Every problem is a paper tiger in the face of knowledge!”
“If you find a problem you can’t solve, it’s because you’re not strong enough. And the best way to become stronger is to study, study, and study!”
“Anyway…”
“Knowledge is power!”
Lin Shen summarized with conviction.
He couldn’t tell Mo Juecheng that in the future, Su Tiantian and he would be separated for five years because of poor grades, and their parents would break them apart.
If Su Tiantian could get into a top 10 university, maybe the time would be shortened to a year.
And if Su Tiantian worked even harder and took the science top scholar title,
Maybe the day the college entrance exam results came out would be the day they were happily together.
The more Lin Shen thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
He had to clear all the obstacles in their path.
The first step: help Su Tiantian finish all the problem sets!
“Very well.” Mo Juecheng stared deeply at Lin Shen.
He admitted that Lin Shen had indeed piqued his interest.
In his nearly 18 years of life, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this.
“Did you agree?” Lin Shen asked excitedly.
“You…” Mo Juecheng suddenly reached out, gripping Lin Shen’s wrist again.
They were standing beneath a big tree outside the teaching building.
The tree’s shade cut the autumn sunlight into patchy golden rays, falling on Lin Shen’s fair and handsome face.
Mo Juecheng’s fingers were long, and his palm was burning.
Not only did he have a face as handsome as a sculpture, but his athleticism also gave him a great figure, slim when dressed, and muscular when undressed.
He gripped Lin Shen’s wrist tightly, stepped forward, and forcefully pressed him against the tree trunk.
He completely trapped Lin Shen between himself and the tree.
Mo Juecheng raised his other hand and gently pinched Lin Shen’s chin.
He met Lin Shen’s dazed eyes with a wicked smile.
“You…” he leaned down, blowing into Lin Shen’s ear, his voice low, “You succeeded!”
Mo Juecheng paused, his cool nose brushing Lin Shen’s cheek. “You’ve successfully caught my interest!” He said, laughing lightly.
