Fleeting Midsummer Fm Chapter 35 (2/2)
Rubbish, how can I not do you the honor? In this circle of people, you singled me out and invited me, so I’ve already been overwheeeelmed by favor from this superior. But, how is my nature so poor quality? I think the only place it seems the same as your grandson is that we don’t love to study.”
I laughed flatteringly: “I really don’t deserve so much praise. How does my head not work that well…..at the most, I like to jest. Frankly, I have never been a private tutor, and my grades in high school were more dismal. It falls short of the senior sisters and brothers present today.” The most important part was that not even a previous drop of my summer vacation will be used for your grandson. Instead, it will be used to squander money and waste time.
“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.” The old fellow promptly waved his hands, “A person like him just can’t seem to settle down his temper. You don’t need to give him any specialized help. If there is time, just straighten him out. On the aspect of learning, as long as Xiao Ke [3] helps, I’ll feel at ease.” While he spoke, he pointed at the nearby Fang Yu Ke.

Fang Yu Ke laughed: “Tan Yi can’t settle down so you give him to me to coach……”
Alas, I originally thought their family only had a literary reputation, but it turned out they were also linked in countless ways with the government families…..
I lowered my voice and said: “Right now it is very common for love to emerge between an older woman and younger man. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll take a fancy for your little grandson?”
The old fellow’s ears were sharp: “Haha, don’t worry. So long as he hardens his heart, I have no objections.”
Hey, I just said you were cute, but why did you begin to slander me? Am I such a low person? What is called hardening your heart? This old woman is in great demand, okay?
Wen Tao laughed at the other end: “Chief Tan, don’t worry. Basically, your grandson won’t go onto that path. There’s me to go through first. As for hardening his heart, you can make me do it.”
I didn’t expect that on the same day after we finished dinner, we would see the legendary Tan Yi who had the same disposition as me. Tan Yi just happened to be finding the old fellow for some matters. That was when he hurriedly let us talk alone to cultivate some emotions.
He was younger than me, and if I were sweet, I would call him a shotacon [4]. If I was c.r.a.ppy, I would call him a bad child. But even if Tan Yi was hot, he definitely wouldn’t reach the rank of the most handsome boy in the school. And speaking of his badness, there would definitely be a pure girl who would send him a love letter. In those days, people like Li Jun [5] who were somehwat beautiful had not become popular yet. However, this child already had the trend of drawing close to other people.
“Are you the one who tested in with luck?” Tan Yi picked at his eyebrows as he asked me.
Ahh, child, you have no manners. This older sis is not to be trifled with: “Yep, I am the person who got in with ease, and I am also the person who relied on G.o.d to get into Peking Uni.”
“You still don’t have a boyfriend?” Tan Yi looked at me with disdain.
The rumors from this afternoon sure traveled quickly. This was the concept of: Good things don’t travel out the door, while bad things travel for thousands of miles.
“Don’t worry, I’m just going to be your private tutor, right? I won’t disturb you. Even if I am going to find a boyfriend, he has to be a male. I don’t have any perverted notions.”
Younger people were easier to get angry suddenly. Tan Yi immediately got furious: “Speak nicer for me.”
I hated high official kids like this the most. Let alone, your grandpa isn’t some super big government official. This old woman has already gone to Beijing, while your grandfather’s education system can’t even control this old woman.Why should I be afraid of you?
I laughed mischievously: “Have you never noticed Fang Yu Ke’s formidable power? You can’t stand it just from my little petty words?”
Tan Yi cautiously asked: “You are very close with Xiao Ke bro?”
“Of course we’re close, we’re sooo close. Are you close with him? But, calling him Xiao Ke bro makes it a lot too easy for other people to think of some impure images. You can’t be… strange right?”
“What do you mean?”
Alas, either the other person was too pure or I was just too mature. I could only say: “My meaning is, is your s.e.xual orientation normal?”
Sure enough, Tan Yi was infuriated, and he could only ferociously say: “Say things nicer for me.” His merit was too inferior. How did his grandfather see anything similar between him and me? How could someone like me, a bright lotus flower in the virtual human world, compare with someone so clumsy in speech?
I didn’t think that I would have to use these types of methods to make friends with this guy in our first meeting. But an exchange of blows might lead to friends.h.i.+p. The later Tan Yi became much easier to face. Basically, as long as I derided him, he would listen to me. In other words, he was full of m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic qualities.

Because of his grandfather’s relations.h.i.+p, they made an exception and Tan Yi joined our travel group.

“…Instead, he roams the jianghu to derive entertainment from anything of interest to him, including fights and toys. Despite so, he still maintains respect for w.a.n.g Chongyang and abides by Quanzhen’s rules.” (Wikipedia- /wiki/Zhou_Botong)
