Come By for Tea When You Have Time

After teaching senior high school seniors, the scheming gong is suddenly assigned to teach first-grade math and serve as homeroom teacher, because a teacher in the elementary division needs bed rest to protect her pregnancy. With an Olympiad math champion at the helm, the class's scores improve steadily, except for one little rascal. After looking over the boy's atrocious test papers and homework, the gong calls his parent. “Do you never help your kid with homework?” The clueless shou is devastated. “I help him every day.” And he's still getting this much wrong? Gong: ...Come to school when you have time. Let's have some tea. Summoned to meet the teacher, the shou is on tenterhooks. Like his clueless son, he's terrified of the homeroom teacher. Then it turns out the teacher is the man he had a one-night stand with seven years ago. Everything goes dark before his eyes, and all he can do is put even more effort into helping his son with homework each day. But the father and son are hopeless. The very next day, they're called in for tea again. The gong spreads his hands. “How about this? I'll tutor you, and you can go home and tutor your son.” The tea the gong brews gets fancier by the day, but the shou doesn't notice at all. Shou: Kid, can't you pass just once? Kid: Math is too hard, Dad. The shou consoles himself: No matter how smart the gong is, he can't guess what their relationship is. That means I'm a little smarter than him. Until one day, unable to figure it out, the shou starts wondering if he has the wrong man. How could the gong's son be so bad at math? He steals a strand of the gong's hair to get a DNA test. The results come in, and the gong sees them right there. Shou: O_o Gong: :) ＊The math problems in this story are taken from real exams and aren't individually credited.
