The entire day, Qiu Xi and Xi Weimu followed their two teachers, either on the subway or on the way to the subway.
“Qiu Xi, did you know your teacher was going to take us on the subway before you came?”
Sitting on a bench by the roadside, Xi Weimu no longer had the refined demeanor he possessed when they first came out. He slumped on the bench, watching the two teachers feeding pigeons in the square not far away, and asked Qiu Xi listlessly.
Qiu Xi also stared at the teachers, shaking her head almost imperceptibly.
“I didn’t know. Teacher said we were coming out to see the world.”
When she asked, Teacher Ding had indeed answered her this way.
However, she hadn’t expected that “seeing the world” would mean accompanying the two teachers to observe the myriad of human conditions.
As she spoke, Qiu Xi cast a melancholy glance at the pigeons being fed.
“Xi Weimu, did your teacher tell you before you came?”
She was starting to doubt now. If this Teacher Wang had been tricked by Teacher Ding, just like them, why did he seem even happier than Teacher Ding now?
Xi Weimu, looking at his teacher who was constantly grinning, also shook his head.
“He said he didn’t know.”
Out of curiosity, he had quietly asked a couple of questions on the way back.
His teacher’s response was, “It wasn’t me who suggested it, so how would I know what Teacher Ding is thinking.”
“Besides, since we are all going out together, where we go and what we see will naturally be decided by all of us. Asking these questions here is useless.”
Thinking of his teacher’s words now, Xi Weimu felt too embarrassed to tell Qiu Xi and decided to gloss over it.
“How about we go feed the pigeons too!”
Since they were already here, wouldn’t it be a waste if they didn’t join in the fun, especially after sitting on the subway for so long!
“Hmm… I think you have a point.” Qiu Xi had been staring at the teachers for a long time, especially at the pigeon feed in Teacher Ding’s hand! wΑp.kanshu伍.net
Xi Weimu, seeing this, immediately stood up, his body following his thoughts. “How about we go take a look?”
“Okay, let’s go take a look!” Qiu Xi stood up as well.
The next second, the two of them were already standing in front of the two teachers.
“Xiao Xi, why did you come over?” Ding Yujing looked at Qiu Xi with a smile, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
Qiu Xi smiled. “Teacher Ding, we were a bit bored sitting over there, and after sitting for a while, we’ve rested enough. We saw you feeding the pigeons and looked so tired, so we decided to come and help you.”
“Here, I’ll hold this for you.”
With that, the pigeon feed in Ding Yujing’s hand fell into Qiu Xi’s.
Ding Yujing, “……”
Was he tired?
He was not tired!
Meanwhile, Xi Weimu, on the side, had also followed Qiu Xi’s example and taken the pigeon feed from his teacher’s hand.
Wang Zhihong, “……”
How could this disobedient student treat his mentor like this?
In the short time the two teachers were in a daze, Qiu Xi and Xi Weimu each moved to one side and stood not far from the teachers, feeding the pigeons.
Whether the pigeons were happy or not, they were certainly happy for now.
“Brother, is your student usually this… mischievous?” Wang Zhihong pondered for a moment before using this word.
Ding Yujing’s expression faltered. “Cough cough!”
“What is this!”
“This child must be exhausted from today, and is a bit overexcited!”
“She was always obedient before, a well-behaved child, and her academic performance was excellent.”
Ding Yujing spoke of Qiu Xi’s praises with a serious expression, completely omitting the fact that his family status was about to be stripped away.
“That brother, is your student usually this… polite?”
“Brother, what are you talking about!”
“Would my students be this kind of person!”
“This child is very polite!”
“It must be you today who made this silly child tired, so she’s trying to entertain herself to soothe her wounded heart.”
Wang Zhihong’s words became heavier and more forceful with each sentence.
Ding Yujing stared at him as he finished speaking, then rubbed the back of his head and quietly said, “Brother, why are you so agitated~”
Wang Zhihong, “……”
He had spoken too hastily…
“This… Hahahaha~”
“This, this is… my love for my students.”
Ding Yujing, “……”
Whether his brother believed him or not, he didn’t.
“Alright, alright!”
“I think it’s getting late, how about we go grab something to eat and prepare to head back?”
If this conversation continued, his silly student would have no semblance of her previous pristine image left…
“Yes, it does seem late.”
Thank goodness! His brother stopped talking. If he continued, his own image as an elder brother would be completely ruined.
“Okay, let’s hurry them up and get ready to eat.”
“Alright.”
As soon as the words were out, the two of them walked off to the side, talking.
“Xiao Xi, can’t you give your Teacher Ding some face when we’re out!” Ding Yujing acted as if he was deeply heartbroken.
“……” Qiu Xi covered her face, too embarrassed to look.
“Teacher Ding, can you act a little more convincingly~”
“……” Miscalculated!
“That… leave me some dignity later.”
Thinking of his wife at home and that old man Du, Ding Yujing softened his tone.
Xiao Xi is a good child, she wouldn’t… she wouldn’t.
Murmuring this to himself, Ding Yujing felt much better.
Qiu Xi glanced at him and nodded. “Got it~”
She was just joking with Teacher Ding. She was very respectful of her teachers!
Her excellent past performance was proof of that~
Meanwhile, on the other side—
“You silly boy!”
“If you wanted pigeon feed, why didn’t you ask me? Why are you imitating those girls and showing concern for old folks!” Wang Zhihong lowered his voice, pinching his student’s arm with one hand.
“You’re really going to drive me crazy with your silliness!”
“If you continue like this, your refined and gentlemanly appearance will be ruined sooner or later!”
“Slap~” Xi Weimu’s head was hit.
“Really! You make me so angry!”
“At your age, it’s no wonder your grandfather constantly complains to me that you won’t find a wife in the future…”
Finally, Wang Zhihong sighed.
Xi Weimu, “……”
Everyone is human, why is the difference so vast?
Xi Weimu looked at the scene not far away, perplexed.
This Qiu Xi was really infuriating!
They were in the same situation, but the treatment was worlds apart!
She was a princess, and he was a servant.
It was somewhat embarrassing… kΑnshu伍.ξà
Resentful, Xi Weimu looked at his teacher. “Teacher, look over there, the teacher-student affection…”
“Slap!” Another hit.
“You still talk about teacher-student affection!”
“Look at your silly appearance now!” Wang Zhihong was somewhat disappointed with his lack of progress.
This dullard!
He had a handsome face and acted well, but why was his essence just to be a comedian?
Wang Zhihong looked up at the sky speechlessly.
“Alright, alright, I won’t nag you anymore!”
“Finish feeding your pigeons quickly, and we’ll get ready to go eat.”
Upon hearing this, Xi Weimu became excited.
“Right away, right away!” He said, scattering the pigeon feed in his hands.
“Pigeons, pigeons, please eat quickly~”
“Once you’re full, I can eat~”
“……” Wang Zhihong shook his head helplessly and with a smile.
This silly boy!
