Dating sim loading: My girlfriend is a cunning young lady

Dubian Che took a look, it was a few test papers from the monthly test, and all the scores were unqualified without exception.

"What's this?"

Mr. Xiaoquan explained, "The teacher wants to ask you to help tutor them."

"No way." Kiyono Lin flatly refused.

"Kiyono, I assure you, this won't take up your personal time. You just need to help them study during club activity time after school."

"No need to say any more, teacher." Kiyono Lin used honorifics, her refusal even more firm.

Xiaoquan Aonai had no choice but to look at Dubian Che.

"Dubian, what about you?"

Dubian Che flipped through the test papers in his hand, they were only from class one and class four, and both English teachers were Xiaoquan Aonai.

"Teacher," he asked, "are they voluntarily attending the tutoring?"

"Although I didn't ask, they're all good kids and will definitely attend. Moreover, the school has stopped their club activities and stipulated that students who cannot pass the makeup exams will have credits deducted, so there should be no problem."

At Goda High School, to graduate successfully, students not only have to pass the midterm and final exams but also need to maintain sufficient credits.

Credits are deducted not only if make-up exams are not passed but also based on the degree of violation of school rules.

For instance, if Dubian Che insists on not joining a club, he would lose a bunch of credits, and if his overtime part-time work were exposed, he'd also lose credits, plus have to write a reflection.

Looking at it this way, failing the makeup exam was indeed very serious, but that was their own business.

"Teacher, Goda High School does have a high deviation value, but no matter where, there will always be people who give up on themselves and are unmotivated."

"I believe they are not," Xiaoquan Aonai immediately answered.

"The facts are right in front of us, Mr. Xiaoquan." Dubian Che flicked the test papers, making a satisfying sound.

Xiaoquan Aonai slightly furrowed her fine eyebrows.

Dubian Che continued, "Apart from special entrance students, there's no reason why those able to enter Goda would fail the first monthly test. Not all of them can be special entrance students, meaning someone..."

"Gave up on studying?" Akiko interjected, thinking she was clever.

Dubian Che glanced at her, "I prefer to call it: choosing a different life."

Akiko didn't notice the disdainful glance and joked, "Oh! They all want to be Tokyo pretty boys?"

"Pfft~" A slight laugh came from nearby.

Kiyono Lin is too much!

What's so funny about being a Tokyo pretty boy?!

Dubian Che said unhappily, "Akiko, I've said this plenty of times, being a Tokyo pretty boy is quite difficult; you at least need continuous improvement in academics. These people clearly don't fit the bill, choosing other paths instead."

"But," Akiko said, "I heard from your Mr. Xiaoquan that you're still third this time, with no improvement."

"...It won't be that way next time," Dubian Che said through clenched teeth.

Kiyono Lin laughed, "Dubian, I understand your ambition, but one needs self-awareness. Give it up; in terms of wisdom, you can't beat me. Although I think linking grades to wisdom is a pretty shallow thing to do."

Dubian Che indeed had to admit: A 9-point charming girl was really beautiful!

Why is such an annoying smile so likable?

Darn it.

Next time, he must first increase charm with points!

Considering how pretty this person was, Dubian Che decided to let her off this time. He returned the test papers to Xiaoquan Aonai.

"Teacher, I'm sorry I can't help. Learning is mostly a personal effort."

"Dubian~~"

Hey, hey, what's with the female teacher using such a pitiful tone towards a male student?

"You're the teacher's favorite student, so diligent and serious. Can't you come help me?"

"Diligent, serious, hardworking, that's just one aspect, right?" Dubian Che remained unmoved; this was clearly a lie to get his assistance.

Xiaoquan Aonai gazed at the test papers in her hand:

"Perhaps you're right, there might already be students among these unqualified ones who've chosen a different life, but the teacher still hopes they can pass the makeup, even if it's by force. Could you do me this favor?"

"Sorry."

He still had to work part-time.

Even if he didn't work, why not use that time to study himself?

Effort and improvement, continuously surpassing his former self; that's what a Tokyo pretty boy should do.

Xiaoquan Aonai sighed as if giving up, then raised her head, struggling, without much hope, "Kiyono, isn't tutoring a student who failed and getting them to score well pretty valuable as an observation?"

Kiyono Lin crossed her arms, resting her chin in thought, "That's true."

Seeing Kiyono Lin swayed, Xiaoquan Aonai stood up, put her hand on her knee, and bowed to Kiyono Lin, "Please help the teacher with this, I beg you!"

As a teacher, Xiaoquan Aonai was undoubtedly a role model.

Kiyono Lin thought for a while, then nodded, "Fine, since the Literary Department has also stopped, and I have nothing better to do, but I'll only take care of the worst one."

"Kiyono, thank you so much!" Then Xiaoquan Aonai turned to look at Dubian Che, "Dubian?"

"I'm here."

"Dubian?"

"Hmm?"

"Mr. Dubian?"

Dubian Che turned to the window, "The flute player is doing well, much better than at the beginning of the semester; I can hear something beyond the musical symbols, maybe they've fallen in love?"

"Dubian!"

"Yes."

Xiaoquan Aonai massaged her temples, "It's a shame I declared in front of Kiyono that you're my favorite student. Never mind, if you don't want to help, just study hard, so I can at least be comforted."

Dubian Che breathed a sigh of relief, then Kiyono Lin suddenly spoke up.

"Mr. Dubian, Mr. Xiaoquan wasn't lying; you really are her favorite student."

"Eh?" The twenty-something Xiaoquan Aonai was taken slightly aback by this, hurriedly waving her hands, "No, no, the teacher likes every student!"

"But the favorite is Dubian," Kiyono Lin smiled as she stated.

"Kiyono, I also like you a lot! I treat all students equally! It's just that Dubian... Anyway, I won't play favorites!"

Dubian Che glanced at the mischievous Kiyono Lin with ill-intent.

Darn, how could he refuse after she said that!

"Teacher, I'll help too, but only one student," he said.

Xiaoquan Aonai glanced at him, rolled up an English book, and lightly tapped it on his head again.

"Cold-hearted guy. But that's okay. You don't want to, right? Study hard yourself; the teacher won't blame you for these things."

Dubian Che rubbed the spot where he was tapped, "Helping a pretty female teacher with her troubles is what a Tokyo pretty boy high school student should do."

"Dubian!" Akiko picked up a stack of test papers, "My class also has..."

"Ah, this clarinet isn't bad either; wait, this part has too strong emotions, still needs some deliberation."

"You! Watch how I teach you a lesson!" Akiko grabbed a thick English dictionary.

"No touching my student!"

Finally, Dubian Che and Kiyono Lin, holding the test papers of the students they were responsible for, left the teacher's office together.

"I didn't expect you'd help; it surprised me," Dubian Che said.

Kiyono Lin studied the test papers in her hands one by one, "Although Mr. Xiaoquan often lies, I don't dislike her."

"Don't you say you dislike everyone? Contradicting yourself? Or lying?"

"Use your Tokyo pretty boy brain to think. Can human senses toward others remain unchanged? Also, get away from me, you're stinking me out. Lastly, that was a clarinet earlier."

"They're both woodwinds; you could almost call it the same answer."

Looking at Dubian Che's indifferent attitude, Kiyono Lin took a deep breath, seemingly unable to bear it, and placed the test papers down.

"First, fat ones are clarinets, slim ones are oboes; the wide-mouthed ones are clarinets, the small-mouthed are oboes; if there's a silver ring between the mouthpiece and keys, it's a clarinet, if not, it's an oboe...

Second, the melody—using words you might understand, slightly strange sounding means clarinet. If you still don't get it, I suggest using your ears, which are good for nothing other than collecting earwax, and listen to the last part of Peer Gynt's Morning Mood or the first movement of Beethoven's Sixth...

"Beethoven's Sixth?"

"..." Kiyono Lin slowly took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, flipping her long hair back elegantly, "My apologies, to make the same mistake as the ancients."

Dubian Che was puzzled for a moment, "Wait, you weren't talking about playing to an ox, were you?"

"Tokyo pretty boy? Ha."

Kiyono Lin cast an extremely disdainful glance at Dubian Che, turned, and left.

Like 0.5mm graphite, her black shiny long hair, perfectly slender waist, and the pleated skirt gently swaying as she walked, filled the sunset-lit corridor, as if she were walking on a runway.

Dubian Che came back to his senses.

Wait, this woman who's nothing but beauty and brains, did she just call him not human?
