He’s really hot.
"But it happens whenever it sees you."
Early the next morning.
The street was bustling, with calls from vendors never ceasing. A long line had ford in front of the wonton bun shop.
Yu Tingwan was warning the blue crow.
Blue Crow: "Stay away from ."
Its mung bean-sized eyes rolled around as it stretched its wings.
Yu Tingwan: "Shut up."
Blue Crow: "I can’t control it."
Yu Tingwan, with a blank expression, grabbed the blue crow and brought it directly under Wei Zhao’s eyelids as he was writing inside.
"Handle this!"
"It learns everything, it learns everything!"
Staying up half the night, even eavesdropping!
Yu Tingwan had thick skin, but also a sense of sha. Moreover, it was all private talk inside the house, luckily her parents didn’t hear, otherwise...
She realized.
"Oh, the embarrassnt is yours."
After all, it was his mouth that said those things
Wei Zhao: ...
He set down the pen, his eyes calmly looking at the annoying blue crow on the table. Unlike his previous confident state, the crow was now trembling.
Wei Zhao: "Go receive your punishnt yourself."
Blue Crow didn’t quite understand.
But Wei Zhao unhurriedly tapped its head twice with the brush.
Terror flashed in Blue Crow’s eyes. Unwilling and reluctant, but afraid. It could only flutter its wings and fly out, soon returning with a string from who knows where in its beak.
As if it was specially made for it.
"What is this?"
Yu Tingwan was completely confused when she saw Wei Zhao take the string and tie up its pointed beak.
Yu Tingwan: ...
Wei Zhao said quietly: "No speaking for three days."
Only allowed to untie when hungry, and tie it up again after eating.
Yu Tingwan: ...
Clearly, it wasn’t the first ti being punished.
Wei Zhao: "The effect is excellent."
Yu Tingwan: ...
Wei Zhao said casually: "I let it choose multiple tis."
"Choose what?"
"Getting chased and beaten by Fu ng, or tying its beak."
Wei Zhao: "It chooses the forr every ti."
How about Fu ng’s sharp claws, how about getting smacked flying?
But it can talk!
Yu Tingwan: ...
No wonder there’s no light in Blue Crow’s eyes anymore.
"Rebellious student!"
Just then, Old Master Sun’s loud voice rang from next door.
Yu Tingwan’s eyelids twitched.
"Uh oh."
She had a very bad feeling.
"Co over and review!"
Old Master Sun: "You’ve owed quite a few years’ worth of essays, you have to make up for it today."
Yu Tingwan suddenly covered her ears.
Old Master Sun, his voice full of energy: "You’re already an adult, don’t make co over and catch you myself!"
Yu Tingwan believed Old Master Sun would really catch her.
Dodging once or twice might work, but not forever.
Chasing her around the courtyard in the earlier years was one thing, but now...
Yu Tingwan couldn’t believe that scene.
She looked at Wei Zhao for help: "Husband."
Wei Zhao leaned back, no longer showing yesterday’s vulnerability, leisurely twirling the brush.
He spoke idly: "Beg ."
Yu Tingwan: "Please."
Yu Tingwan sincerely asked: "Should I bow to you again?"
Wei Zhao: ...
————
Upon waking up, Liu Yan didn’t rush to check the accounts at the shop, she grabbed so at buns bought from the street and headed towards the Wei Family’s place.
But she stopped when she reached Zhao Family’s door.
The Zhao Family’s door was wide open, allowing a glimpse of the scenes inside.
In the spacious yard, green onion seedlings tended in the corner, a jujube tree not yet as tall as a person but with a few jujubes growing...
Liu Yan paid no mind to those things.
Because she saw Old Master Sun holding a ruler, teaching.
Several desks were set up in the open space in the yard, forming a makeshift open-air classroom.
Nannan was arranged in the front, sitting on a small stool, listening intently with her head up.
Old Master Sun hadn’t been this exhilarated while teaching for a long ti, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
"Did you understand?"
Nannan shook her head.
Old Master Sun: ...
Zhao Yu: "The student understands!"
He was very excited.
He had thick skin and followed to audit the lesson.
This was Old Master Sun, so many wished to have a chance to hear a lesson from him.
Liu Yan’s gaze softened.
A day apart, Zhao Yu seed even more handso.
How eager to learn he was.
He did! Understand it all.
Old Master Sun: ...
It’s the Three Character Classic, if you don’t understand it, you might as well leave the academy.
Nannan: "I’m so sleepy."
She also felt a bit restless.
Her little body squird around: "Grandmaster, I want so snacks."
She was really obedient.
Old Master Sun couldn’t be an.
"No, where do you get snacks in class?"
"There are!"
Nannan pointed towards Yu Tingwan.
"Aunt ate three pieces."
Old Master Sun: ???
Liu Yan followed Nannan’s pointing direction and looked over. Yu Tingwan was lying on the desk, slowly munching.
"Rebellious student!"
Old Master Sun jumped with anger: "You..."
Yu Tingwan pulled out the cake wrapped in paper bag from her bosom.
She was very generous.
"Alright, I’ll share with you all."
"Plenty for everyone."
Old Master Sun quickly stepped forward, the ruler tapping on the desk with a cracking sound.
"Not one word of the essay written."
Yu Tingwan spoke kindly: "Don’t rush."
Liu Yan couldn’t hold back.
She knocked on the door.
Yu Tingwan looked over and saw Liu Yan dressed brightly.
Liu Yan: "Old Master Sun. I’ve admired you for years, may I have the honor to sit in on your class?"
"I honestly crave knowledge."
"If you refuse, I won’t insist. But I’d surely be forlorn, unable to sleep at night."
Yu Tingwan: ...
So pretentious.
Old Master Sun: ...
Really.
The alley was about to beco lively.
Liu Yan talked her way in with her eloquence. The Zhao Family didn’t have extra desks, but she didn’t mind.
She hadn’t co to cause trouble.
Given that learning takes precedence for scholars, Liu Yan didn’t want to disturb Zhao Yu.
That would be too off-putting.
So she found a spot not too far, but not too close, a distance that wouldn’t make Zhao Yu uneasy, pulled over a wooden stool and sat down.
Old Master Sun looked at Nannan.
The little girl was nibbling on Yu Tingwan’s cake, eating with her eyes squinting in delight.
Not worth punishing.
He glanced at the rebellious student.
Maybe feeling his gaze, Yu Tingwan spread out the paper, feigned deep thinking.
Old Master Sun’s eyes fell on Zhao Yu.
Aside from other matters, the attitude of this student pleased him greatly.
He continued the lesson.
This ti it was obvious, he tailored the lesson according to Zhao Yu’s pace.
He was a seasoned master, speaking eloquently, neatly arranging the thoughts Zhao Yu usually couldn’t untangle.
Old Master Sun: "Did you understand?"
Zhao Yu: "I understood it!"
Liu Yan also understood.
Seems she and Zhao Yu have fate!
Just as she thought of this, she saw the blue crow flew over.
Tied beak, unable to call, its presence faded. The blue crow feebly landed on Yu Tingwan’s desk.
Yu Tingwan patted its head, pulled out the paper tied on its little leg, spread it open at an angle invisible to Old Master Sun.
Liu Yan watched her blatantly copy.
Cheating at her age, isn’t she ashad?
Clearly, Yu Tingwan wasn’t.
She kept copying rapidly, head never lifting.
After copying, she relaxed. Her spirit soared.
With a bang, Yu Tingwan slapped the desk.
Old Master Sun glared over: "Oh! Rebellion?"
"Is the essay finished?"
"Finished."
Yu Tingwan stood up, showing no guilt, rather troubled: "Sotis, talent simply cannot be contained."
