Sir You Don’t Know Your Wife - Season 3 Episode 22

With a gloomy face, Daisy read the list of group leaders aloud, “Simon, Yvonne, Janet, Abby and Gordon. The five of you will be the group leaders.”

Janet, who was taking a nap, woke up to a start at the sudden mention of her name and looked up at Daisy with a puzzled look. Was she just made a study group leader?

All of a sudden, Gordon, who sat behind her, rose to his feet and requested, “Miss Daisy, I would like to have Abby in my group.” He didn’t ask Janet to join him because he knew she was too good to need his assistance.

Abby turned around, her chubby face looked bewildered. “Gor—”

“You want to get into a good university in the future, don’t you?” Gordon stared at Abby solemnly.

“Of course!” Abby nodded her head vigorously. More importantly, she didn’t feel like cleaning the toilets.

“You will be in my group then, got it?” Awkwardly, Gordon spun around and his eyes looked anywhere but her.

“Okay.” Cheeks flushing, Abby nodded at him.

Staring at the students who apparently had their own agendas, Daisy made no comment. At last, she decided to just give them free reign. “Well, you guys are free to form your own groups then. Just hand me a list when you’re done!”

As soon as she said that, everyone in the classroom clamored, eager to get into their desired group. Those who admired Janet’s excellent painting skills wanted to be in her group.

“Janet, can I team up with you?”

“Janet, I’d like to be in the same group with you, is that okay?”

“Me too. Would you be able to teach me how to paint too?”

“I can see your potential in scoring well in the exam. Let’s team up with each other and work hard together!”

Janet scratched her head in resignation at how unfussy the students were at picking their group leader. It would be demanding enough to tutor The Beasts alone. Now that she had to help so many people, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to cope. The good thing was she supposed these people would work hard to improve their results in order to avoid cleaning the toilets.

…

Inside the office, the corners of Daisy’s lips couldn’t help but twitch when she looked at the name list submitted by the class monitor. What nonsense was this? Gordon was going to lead half of the class while Janet would be responsible for the remaining half. With a score of only two hundred something in her exam, could Janet cope?

Daisy didn’t look down upon Janet because after all, she did admire and respect Janet’s painting skills. However, could she handle a study group of over ten students? Daisy gave the name list another look and couldn’t resist massaging her forehead, thinking there was no doubt Class F was going to clean the toilets after the exam next month.

…

Class F’s study groups soon started in full swing. Although the effects of the plan were still not obvious at the moment, Daisy was glad to see the students flocking to Janet and Gordon at the end of each period to ask them questions. Meanwhile, Janet and Gordon were very patient in sharing their knowledge. Perhaps the class might be able to end up ranking the second last of the whole batch, in which case they would be able to escape the fate of cleaning the toilets.

After Janet finished answering the questions of the other students, she made her way to The Beasts. “How’s your progress?” Janet drawled.

Dexter pursed his lips miserably and grumbled, “Boss, staring at the test paper makes me dizzy.”

Tyler too puckered his lips and complained, “Exactly. I don’t understand anything.”

Having listened to what they said, Janet smirked and snapped, “Stop giving me excuses! This test paper is actually meant for students in their first year. If you guys can’t even answer this, you are banned from having any combat training for a week.”

Knowing well that the four of them were smart, she was sure they would be able to do well in the next exam if they were willing to put in effort. In her opinion, the four of them were too used to physical activities that they found studying a bore.

In response to her warning, The Beasts perked up right away and held their heads low, focusing their attention fully on the test paper. Life would be meaningless if they couldn’t have combat training.

All of a sudden, Janet’s phone vibrated, signaling the arrival of a new message. Opening it, she found that it was from Walter Lynn. Walter was a young, handsome star in the showbiz just like Gordon. Janet had composed songs and lyrics for them and the three of them had jointly composed a song named ‘The Heartwarming Season’, which became such a hit that it was once ranked in the Billboard Hot 100 Chart’s top three.
