I will give you tuition.

Clasping her hands together in front of her, Chi Yi looked at him pleadingly with a piteous look on her face. “I beg of you, alright? Please let me study for a little while more. Just a while…”

The frowning man leaned over slightly and bowed his head to look at his niece. “Why are you studying so hard for?”

“I’m aiming for college, Uncle. I’m serious about this.”

“I can tell.”

Chi Zuxu reached out and patted her on the back of her head.

The close proximity of their faces left only an inch of breathing space between them. “Even so, there’s no need for you to ruin your body. I don’t agree with such a method!”

With that, he suddenly reached out and scooped her up horizontally into his arms from her seat.

The lass nervously grabbed his shirt collar as she lay in her uncle’s embrace. She could distinctly hear his powerful heartbeat going

thump, thump, thump

against her eardrum and… her heart, causing the latter to erratically beat along with his..

As she shyly scratched his neck area around his collar with her little fingers, her eyes were cast downward, no longer daring to peer at him.

Looking down at her, the man gave her a light peck on her misbehaving hand. “It’s ticklish.”

She could not resist chuckling at that. The naughty girl went on scratching him a little more before she finally ceased her action.

His eyes had darkened a little by now and he bit the back of her hand. “Continue fooling around, and I’ll throw you out of the house!”

“Nah, you won’t do that!”

Still, she stopped teasing him and obediently rest her head lightly against his firm chest instead. Just like that, she allowed him to carry her back into her bedroom.

“Uncle, I have a mock exam coming up in a few days, but I’m worried that I will fail. What should I do?” asked the girl as she looped a hand around her uncle’s neck.

“How many days to your exam?”

“Seven.”

“I’ll start tutoring you from tomorrow onwards.”

“That’s great! I was waiting for you to say that!”

“So, go to bed earlier tonight. If you have anything else to discuss, we can talk about it tomorrow.”

“Alright! Good night, then.”

“Good night…”

Chi Yi had a sweet dream that night. She dreamed that she actually placed 30th in class for her exam.

It must be noted that that was probably her best result ever since she started high school!

…………

The next day—

At night.

All serious and focused, Chi Yi leaned against the desk as she worked on her homework.

It was a rare occasion that Chi Zuxu did not work overtime that night. Instead, he was sitting beside his niece with her textbook in hand as he focused on highlighting the key points of the syllabus for her.

“It’s been years since you graduated, Uncle. How come you still remember the key points?” asked the lass in amazement as she worked on her homework.

The man did not even bother to lift his head at that. “You think everyone is as stupid as you?”

She tilted her head at him with pouty lips. “Are you looking down on me?”

“Cut the nonsense and focus on your homework!” He lightly tapped her head with his pen.

Rubbing the spot where she had been hit, the girl stuck her tongue out at her uncle before continuing to work on her homework.

Tick tock, tick tock

went the clock as time passed and soon reached midnight before they knew it.

Chi Yi had already fallen asleep with her body slumped over the desk and a pen in hand.

By the time Chi Zuxu noticed this, the history book under her face was already wet with drool.

He was tickled by the sight.

Nevertheless, he gingerly pulled out the pen from her little hand and the wet history book from under her face.

The book was dripping wet as though it had just been taken out of the water. Laughing helplessly at this, he hastily pulled out a few pieces of tissue from the tissue box and helped her to wipe the wet pages dry.
