Chapter 114: Senior, Why Don’t You Teach Me?
Before Ye Ran could correct himself, Chi Yuheng’s voice rang out again. “Is it for a snack, or to eat you?”
Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating.
The retort was stuck firmly in his throat. Ye Ran swallowed, not daring to actually say it out loud.
He was the one who had brought up the topic of a late-night snack. Now, facing Chi Yuheng’s darkened expression, he could only admit defeat.
Based on his past experience, at a time like this, Chi Yuheng would mostly give him a verbal lecture. If the verbal lecture wasn’t enough, he would move on to physical action.
Exactly what kind of action it would be usually meant a certain part of his body would have to suffer.
Running was impossible now. Ye Ran simply closed his eyes, preparing to lie flat and accept his fate.
Sure enough, in the next second, the back of his collar was steadily hoisted up.
Chi Yuheng’s strength wasn’t great, yet it carried an absolute sense of control that brooked no resistance as he dragged him forward.
However, they didn’t go to the bedroom, but to the study.
Ye Ran opened his eyes. His gaze swept over the familiar corner of the corridor and finally landed on that familiar study door at the end. He bristled instantly.
His arms and legs began to flail like a frantic rabbit. “I’m not going to the study! Chi Yuheng, put me down!”
However, no matter how he flailed, he was like a puppy picked up by the scruff of its neck. Under his owner’s absolute strength, his flailing was in vain, and he eventually let his paws hang.
The man merely tightened his fingers slightly, holding him even more steadily.
His pace didn’t falter in the slightest. He even looked down at him, his brow slightly furrowed. “Why aren’t you going to the study?”
Ye Ran’s gaze was fixed on the large, heavy solid wood desk in the study. His cheeks flushed uncontrollably. “That desk wood is too hard. It hurts my butt… like last time!”
Chi Yuheng followed his gaze to the desk. He was silent for two seconds, a flicker of an indistinguishable smile flashing through his eyes.
The fingers gripping the back of Ye Ran’s neck loosened. His tone was unreadable. “What are you thinking about?”
Ye Ran was stunned. His flailing stopped as he looked up at Chi Yuheng’s sharp jawline. “No? Then… then why are we going to the study?”
Chi Yuheng looked at him with interest. “What else could it be for?”
“Did you want me to do you in the study?”
Ye Ran was choked up. He opened his mouth, but before a single word could come out, Chi Yuheng beat him to it, his tone full of teasing.
“Student Ye Ran, put away those ‘yellow’ thoughts in your head. Even when you’re in the study, all you think about are things related to the bed.”
Ye Ran: “…”
Are those words even human?
Ye Ran nearly couldn’t resist the urge to pounce and bite him.
Who was it that pinned him to the desk and did him last time!
He still remembered exactly which drawer Chi Yuheng had put the condoms in. They hadn’t used them all last time; there were probably several boxes left in there.
Turning around and refusing to acknowledge it now, are we?
After Chi Yuheng let him go, Ye Ran followed behind him, seizing the chance to gesticulate wildly at the man’s back.
When Chi Yuheng turned around, he immediately retracted his claws, putting on an innocent look that said “I didn’t do anything.”
“Why bring me to the study in the middle of the night? Is there anything that can’t be said in the bedroom?” Ye Ran dawdled his way to the desk.
It was to save him from being lectured in the study and then having to be done again in the bedroom.
It wasn’t a good deal.
Chi Yuheng didn’t respond. He directly opened a drawer and took out two books, placing them on the desk.
Ye Ran leaned in to look. These two books were both familiar and strange.
Familiar because they were his textbooks for this semester.
Strange simply because Ye Ran had barely flipped through them. The semester was more than half over, yet the books still looked brand new.
Chi Yuheng sat down in the chair. “Can you understand the lectures lately? Is there anything you’re struggling with?”
His tone was flat, but the look he shot over carried a scrutinizing edge. He looked perfectly ready to say, “If you don’t understand, I’ll explain it to you right now.”
Ye Ran had almost forgotten—Chi Yuheng had also graduated from Jingda. He was from the same school and department, and had even studied the same major.
It was just that when he graduated, Ye Ran was still in high school.
Technically, Chi Yuheng was also his Senior.
And an academic overachiever at that.
In front of this overachieving Senior, Ye Ran was just a tiny fry.
If he said he didn’t understand when Chi Yuheng asked, and Chi Yuheng followed up with specifics, he wouldn’t even know what content was inside.
Since it was getting late anyway, Ye Ran simply found a reason to cope.
“I understand everything. Our professors explain things very clearly.”
“Husband, I’m tired. Let’s go back and sleep.”
As he spoke, he leaned against Chi Yuheng. That clingy attitude tickled Chi Yuheng’s heart.
Question: What does it mean when a normally prickly wife suddenly becomes sweet and clingy?
The correct answer is: when Ye Ran is proactively clingy, he’s either up to no good or has a guilty conscience.
Chi Yuheng knew Ye Ran very well.
His Adam’s apple rolled slightly, but his face remained unchanged. “We’ll go back in a bit.”
Ye Ran wanted to say something more, but Chi Yuheng gave him no chance. He reached out with one large hand, steadily hooked it around his waist, and with a bit of force, pulled him down to sit on his lap.
“Since you understand everything, let me ask you. An investor has 100,000 yuan and wants to invest in a fund. There are two choices: A is an index ETF like the CSI 300, and B is an actively managed equity fund.
Option A has an annual management fee of 0.5%, with subscription and redemption fees at zero, and can be traded in real-time on trading days. Option B has an annual management fee of 1.5%, a 1.2% subscription fee, and a 0.5% redemption fee. It only has one NAV quote per day and can only be subscribed to or redeemed after the market closes.
From the perspective of liquidity and cost, is Choice A or Choice B more suitable for short-term investment?”
Ye Ran’s brain continued to be in a daze.
He had heard every word Chi Yuheng said, but putting them together was like listening to a heavenly scripture.
At this moment, Ye Ran appeared to be awake, but in reality, his brain had been asleep for a while.
He blinked. Whether it was A or B, he was best at guessing answers. He had at least a fifty percent success rate.
“I choose A.”
Chi Yuheng raised an eyebrow, looking at Ye Ran in a way that made him tremble with fear.
Fortunately, Chi Yuheng didn’t ask why he chose A, otherwise he would have been exposed in a second.
After waiting a moment and seeing that Chi Yuheng didn’t scold him, Ye Ran guessed he might have answered correctly. His relief didn’t even last a second before Chi Yuheng asked another question.
“How are ETF discount arbitrage and premium arbitrage operated respectively? Why can they achieve risk-free arbitrage?”
Damn it!
It wasn’t a multiple-choice question anymore; it had turned into a short answer.
Ye Ran didn’t even know what an ETF was.
He looked at Chi Yuheng’s expression again. He was solemn and serious—a look that told Ye Ran exactly how miserable he was going to be in a moment.
His nose wrinkled, and he wanted to cry but couldn’t squeeze out any tears.
He wanted to pull a smile to smooth things over, but it looked worse than crying.
In the end, he could only wear a bitter, half-smiling expression as he looked piteously at Chi Yuheng, his voice kept extremely low.
“Academic Senior… I don’t know this… why don’t you teach me?”
