Chapter 2

I received exclusive tutoring from Josh.

I gotta admit, any difficult problem could be easily solved with his guidance.

I felt like I had been reborn and baptized, no longer the same old me!

I was now the passer of exams, with full marks in every subject!

"Let's call it a day."

Josh was picking up his things, paused and took out his mobile phone. "Add me on WhatsApp. If you have any questions, just ask me."

I excitedly scanned his QR code. "OK, thank you."

Josh accepted my friend request.

I changed his contact name to "Josh the Beauty".

When I returned to the dormitory, my roommate Shirley came over and asked, "How was it?"

"Thanks," I held my head high and said, "I've got the exam."

"Who asked you about that?" Shirley winked at me. "I mean the guy."

I shook the phone in my hand and replied, "Added his WhatsApp."

Jane glanced at the screen. "Tsk, tsk, look how she named him."

Just then Josh sent a message: [Are you back?]

I: [Yes, thanks for asking. You need anything?]

He hadn't replied, and the chat box kept showing typing.

Josh: [Nothing. Just wanted to ask if you have any other questions. I'm free now and can answer them.]

"Damn! Since when does Josh Stevens ask to help others with their homework?"

Dolly expressed disbelief. "Back when his classmate asked him for help, he just threw a book at her."

"Judy, you are..." Three of my roommates said in unison, "Our goddess!"

Thanks to Josh, every one of us passed the first exam.

I checked the time.

It was twelve forty-one.

It was Saturday, I didn't know if my partner would be online.

I opened the game and sent him message: [Are you online?]

He seemed to have been waiting and immediately replied: [Log in.]

I asked: [ I don't think I've ever heard you speak on the mic.]

He replied: [Wanna hear my voice?]

I answered: [I'm a little curious.]

He turned on the microphone and a deep voice came through. "Follow me closely."

Tsk, guy was a bass.

Pretty nice voice he got there.

I wondered, "But why did I feel like I'd heard it somewhere before?"

He helped me win more than ten rounds without much effort. Suddenly, the alarm rang, I jumped and almost threw my phone off.

I hurriedly left my room and sent a message: [Bye partner, gotta go offline now!]

He sent a voice message, "Why going off now?"

I replied: [Working as a part-time tutor.]

He: [Okay. Be careful on the road.]

I got off work a little late today. When I came out, it was already getting dark. I rubbed my face which was stiffened by the cold wind.

The part-time job was not far from school, and I usually walked there and back. It was no big deal before, but tonight I felt a bit spooked.

After stopping and looking back for God knows how many times, I couldn't help but speed up.

Suddenly someone tapped me on the shoulder.

I swung my bag at him and shouted, "Help!"

"It's me," The guy grabbed my bag. "Josh."

I put down my arms and blinked. "It's you?"

"I'm sorry. Did I scare you?"

Josh pointed to the road ahead, explaining, "I was on my way back to school. When I passed that intersection, I saw someone looking a lot like you. I was about to call you, but you just started running."

I scratched my head embarrassedly. "I thought someone was following me, turns out it's you..."

"It's my fault. I scared you."

Josh patted the bicycle beside him and said, "How about I take you back to school to make amends?"
