Chapter 56: Tutor the Beauty (2/2)
”Teach you?” Her directness disheveled Wang Tong. In the moment of shock and disbelieve, Wang Tong noticed Zhou Sisi's supple red lips that formed a lovely pout, making her look impetuous but cute.
Seeing Wang Tong had hesitated, Zhou Sisi dug her heels in and announced, ”Yes. I will help you too if you help me. If you need my assistance, I guarantee you that I will help you as much as I can.”
Wang Tong's mind raced, weighing his options and risks. Teaching her the clone technique would be easy enough, but he was not sure if he could fit the training in his already-busy schedule. On the other hand, if he was able to pacify his only enemy in the dormitory number five, he would be absent at work every day, and no one would ever report him to the principal. He didn't do much at work, and nothing bad had ever happened before he took on the job anyways.
”It is my pleasure to help you,” Wang Tong spoke with a seemingly open manner after making up his mind.
People may listen to you better if you let them owe you a favor - Quote by Old Fart.
Zhou Sisi was shocked at Wang Tong's generous gesture; she had thought that Wang Tong might leverage his secrets to make unreasonable demands.
”When can we start?”
”How about after my shift? It might be a bit late; I hope you are OK with it?” Wang Tong was planning to exercise after work, and he didn't mind taking Zhou Sisi with him.
”Forget about work, let's do it now.”
”But...”
”Com'on, you know how much the girls in dormitory number five treasured your mail service, no one would tell on you, even if you were absent for the entire shift,” Zhou Sisi said. Truth be told, she was the only person that might have reported him, but then even she needed his help.
Zhou Sisi watched Wang Tong in surprise as he unlocked the training room. ”How did you get the key? One of Ma Xiaoru's privilege again?”
Wang Tong shook his head, without noticing the hint of Zhou Sisi's animosity toward Ma Xiaoru, ”Nah, Principal Samantha gave it to me. I was chosen as one of the team members attending the tournament against Bernabeu; she gave it to me so that I can come here to train at any time. We have to make sure everything is cleaned and put away after we use it though.”
”Ah right, the tournament! You said you had been chosen? I thought they were still in the process of screening candidates.” Zhou Sisi did not seem to be surprised by the fact that Wang Tong, an F-Class student was chosen to be on the team. She had seen his grades and knew that Wang Tong would have entered A-Class if the school had only considered his METAL combat score and ignored the rest.
”Yes, I think the principal had picked a few more candidates and made a list based on overall grades, you were almost number three on the list I think,” Wang Tong said as he scratched his head, trying to remember the list.
”Almost? I AM the number three! You think only the princess from FFC could have good grades don't you!” Zhou Sisi hissed.
”Nah, you are thinking too much.” Wang Tong shrugged and wondered why girls were so much snappier than boys.
