"A relative's kid isn't doing well in school, so I'm going to help tutor them."
"Where does your relative live? Next time we have a break, I'll come find you at your relative's place, and we can play some basketball together." Zhuo Feng didn't have many hobbies other than studying—basketball was his other love. Playing basketball alone wasn't fun, and since Jianbin liked it too, they would often play together. Unfortunately, Jianbin always seemed to disappear during the holidays.
"My relative's kid didn't get into high school, so no more tutoring needed. You can just come to my place next time." In fact, Gu Jianbin had never tutored his relative's child.
It was just an excuse he had made up.
Living in the city was expensive, and his family wasn't doing business anymore, so he'd return to his village during the breaks, only coming back to the city when school started again.
