Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Are You Out of Your Mind? (8)

Tang Yanqi wasn’t interested in other people’s identities, but perhaps because this man knew Sheng Jianan, she subconsciously glanced at Mu Yunfan.

Unexpectedly, she found that he was also looking at her. From Mu Yunfan’s gaze, Tang Yanqi could feel that he recognized her. She smiled a bit awkwardly and then followed Mu Yunxiao’s mother upstairs to teach her new student.

From Qi Cheng, Tang Yanqi had learned that this student was very rebellious. The first time Qi Cheng came to substitute, he was so annoyed that he cried. Because of this, the wealthy family couldn’t hire famous teachers and could only rely on students from these prestigious universities to tutor.

"Teacher Tang, you all get acquainted, and if anything happens, just call me."

After saying this, he didn’t forget to warn his son. Tang Yanqi stood aside, smiling without speaking. A rebellious child is not scary, as long as the parents aren’t weird.

The door to the room closed. Tang Yanqi turned her head and smiled, "Mu, shall we begin?"

Mu Yunxiao had the childishness typical of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, but also the unruly demeanor of a rich young master. He glanced at Tang Yanqi, snorted coldly, and sat down at the desk. As soon as Tang Yanqi sat down, she noticed a gray object had appeared beside her hand at some point. Upon closer inspection, it was a realistic plastic mouse.

What? Trying to scare her with a mouse?

Too childish. When she first arrived at the Tang Family, she was often locked in a small dark room by Shen Wanqing. She’d seen many little mice and cockroaches before. She wasn’t afraid of real ones, let alone this one?

Tang Yanqi calmly picked up the plastic mouse and dangled it by its tail in front of Mu Yunxiao, "Do you like mice? Next time, I’ll bring you a real one. Real mice are much bigger than this."

"Damn, are you even a woman? You dare to catch a mouse?"

"Hmm, what else do you like? Cockroaches? Ants? Or maybe lizards, mantises, toads?"

Mu Yunxiao jumped three feet high. His disdainful eyes were now filled with fear, staring wide-eyed at Tang Yanqi, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, you woman, you’re a freak."

Tang Yanqi’s face still bore that calm expression, "Young man, if you want to play tricks on people in the future, it’s best to first understand their weaknesses, or you will find yourself at a disadvantage."

Mu Yunxiao swallowed and crawled over slowly, "Then, Teacher Tang, what are you afraid of?"

What was she afraid of?

Tang Yanqi lowered her gaze. She had a lot of apprehensions, but if she had to say what she truly feared, perhaps it was only that man. Actually, it wasn’t fear of him, but fear of getting lost in herself again because of him.

While she had the answer in her heart, her face remained calm as she raised an eyebrow, "Mu, do I look stupid enough to expose my weaknesses to someone who’s trying to scheme against me?"

Mu Yunxiao: "..."

"So, can we start now?"

During the two-hour lesson, Tang Yanqi discovered that Mu Yunxiao was actually a very intelligent boy. He had a strong understanding of math, physics, and chemistry, and his English was quite good, though his Chinese was a bit lacking. His rebelliousness wasn’t truly a dislike of learning, but rather a dislike for the conventional education style.

After assigning Mu Yunxiao a few practice questions, Tang Yanqi got up to stretch and her eyes subtly shifted, landing on a financial newspaper not far away. On the front page headline was a photo of Sheng Jianan.

Almost instinctively, Tang Yanqi reached out, and just as her fingertips touched the newspaper, she heard a stern shout: "Don’t move!"
