Teach them? Of course he could.

But they had to pay tuition!

Wen Shiting thought for a moment and asked, "How about I give you half the fish I catch later as tuition?"

Oh-ho!

He had risen through the ranks to become an evil capitalist!

Yes, absolutely yes! This felt freaking fantastic!

Seeing everyone getting to eat meat thanks to Xu Chao, Shen Xinbai grew anxious. But before he could think of a solution, Lou Jun suddenly stepped forward and declared shamelessly, "I want to learn too."

"You want to learn, so I have to teach you? Who do you think you are, Brother Xiaoming? Yo, yo, 'It doesn't matter what you think, it matters what I think.' Hmph! No Lou Jun or dogs allowed."

Lou Jun cared about his pride more than anything. His expression changed, and he was about to lose his temper, but as he looked at the boy's pretty, lively face...

He was different from the Xu Chao of the past, who looked like a drooling lecher whenever he saw him.

It was as though he had gone back to being the little young master who trailed after him as a child, sweetly calling him Brother Jun.

"Ugh, don't look at me with those disgusting eyes." Xu Chao looked utterly repulsed. "Keep staring and I'll gouge them out."

Lou Jun took two deep breaths. "I'll pay tuition. I won't learn for free."

Xu Chao snorted. "No. Any fish you catch will stink."

Lou Jun held himself back. "Fine, not fish, then. Money. Will a hundred thousand do?"

"No." It wasn't Xu Chao who said this, but Fu Sichen beside him. "Does my wife need that hundred thousand?"

Xu Chao blinked. "No. I need two hundred thousand."

Everyone: "..."

[Chaochao, is it really okay to undermine your husband like that?]

[Hahahaha, I guess he doesn't want to get out of bed tomorrow morning.]

Xu Chao hadn't meant anything else by it. He just had a smart mouth. No, wait, a quick tongue.

Who knew what had gotten into Lou Jun's head today? He even agreed to pay two hundred thousand.

Xu Chao turned and threw himself into the man's arms. "Honey, I'll give you all the money I earn to spend. I promise I'll keep you nice and plump."

Fu Sichen glanced at him with a smile. "Hmm?"

Xu Chao immediately corrected himself obediently. "Hehe, I misspoke. My husband will keep me nice and plump, so I'll feel even better to hold."

Lou Jun, who had shelled out two hundred thousand in tuition for nothing, had been completely forgotten!

Soon, Xu Chao began teaching the others to weave fishing nets too. As a first-time teacher, Xu Chao felt a strong sense of responsibility and purpose.

Then a ramie stalk lashed the ground hard, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Idiots! Morons! Bakayaro!"

"Have all of you soaked your fingers in formalin? All those spasms and twitches! You're more ape-like than apes!"

"You're the worst class I've ever taught!"

[Hahahahaha, I'm laughing like a pig.]

[I'm back in high school. This is exactly how our teacher used to yell at us.]

[Teacher Xu really is doing his best to teach them, but the students are just too stupid. Not one of them can learn it.]

[Has anyone considered that maybe they're not too stupid, but Xu Chao is too smart?]

[I have to say, Chaochao's fingers are so pretty, so soft and fair and pink. They're so nimble twisting those ramie stalks. Hehe, Young Master Fu is a lucky man!]

[Holy shit, that suddenly got dirty.]

Just then, Fu Sichen frowned deeply at the uneven, haphazard fishing net in his hands and instinctively hid it behind his back.

Xu Chao's sharp eyes spotted it at once. "You there, student, what are you hiding? Do you think your teacher can't see how..."

He raised his eyes and saw his husband's earth-shatteringly handsome face. He choked, then proclaimed fervently, "Exquisitely crafted! A feast for the eyes! Honey, you're amazing!"

Lou Jun was indignant. "It's all crooked and falling apart! It's not even as good as mine!"
