Chapter 258 He's Like a Bad Guy

Before they came, Qiuqiu and Shisan had already discussed it. One of them would play the bad cop and the other the good cop, and they were determined to let Master Zhao know that they were not to be trifled with.

Thirteen, holding the sword, wanted to recount Qiuqiu's "reputation," but the things Qiuqiu made up were just too disgusting—the Empress's darling, the Princess's white moonlight, the Marquis's beloved little darling… Ugh! His old face was still worth something!

After waiting for a long time without hearing Thirteen's famous name, Qiuqiu gave him a look urging him to hurry up.

Thirteen felt a chill run down her spine, and with her eyes tightly shut, she managed to squeeze out, "My young lady's name is Su Yuhe!"

Chirp: "???" That's it?!

A reproachful look was cast at Thirteen, and he reintroduced himself!

Thirteen: Hehe, luckily I closed my eyes beforehand.

Zhao Chen flipped through the roster in his hand and slammed the ruler on the table. "I misremembered the name. I treat everyone here equally. No one is allowed to bring a pageboy. Su Yuhe, have your pageboy go out and wait."

Chiu Chiu scratched her head in confusion, "No."

[Thirteen is not a pageboy!]

Zhao Chen roughly understood what Qiuqiu meant, "Parents also need to wait outside."

Chiu Chiu shook her head again, correcting the teacher: "They are... thugs!"

Thirteen:"???"

Zhao Chen: "!!!"

Thirteen jumped up in anger, "Is this how you introduce me in public?"

Chiu Chiu darted behind Zhao Chen and hid, "Mmm!"

Thirteen was ready to teach Qiuqiu a lesson. Zhao Chen, fearing they would start fighting, ruthlessly kicked Thirteen out.

Chiu Chiu patted her chest with lingering fear, realizing that the teacher didn't only hit children.

I'm starting to like him a little bit!

Zhao Chen looked down and met a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, the adoration in which was almost overflowing. Although he was often admired by his students, this one seemed particularly different today. He coughed lightly and tapped the small square table next to his desk with his ruler. "Since you are young and need someone to take care of you, you can sit next to me for now."

Anyone with a kindergarten diploma in the Koi Clan should know that the seat next to the teacher isn't so easy to sit in.

Unfortunately, they lack education!

As soon as Lu Diandian stepped through the door carrying the same red crossbody bag, she saw Qiuqiu looking at Master Zhao with adoration. But that wasn't the point. The point was…

"Chirp, why are you sitting there!" Lu Diandian had always been a clueless and impulsive little tiger girl. She ran up to Chirp and instantly felt like she was a much more impressive older sister. "Come on, let's sit in the last row!"

Sisters are more important than anything, so let Lu Diandian come and save poor little Qiuqiu today!

Her brother said the school seat was in the last row, and the first row was for the unlucky ones!

The little girl's pigtails swayed briefly in front of Zhao Chen, and before he knew it, she was already pulling Qiuqiu towards the back row. The poor little dumpling toddled along, glancing back at him every now and then.

Zhao Chen felt a vein throbbing in his forehead, and he shouted sternly, "Lu Diandian!"

Having learned from Qiuqiu's experience, he glanced at the roster out of the corner of his eye and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her name was indeed Lu Diandian.

Little Lu Diandian selectively ignored Master Zhao's livid face. Remembering her mother's instructions at home, she let go of Jiujiu's little hand, obediently stepped forward, crossed her hands over her stomach, and bowed ninety degrees to the Master, "Master~ Hello!"

Zhao Chen's expression finally improved; after all, she was his teacher's granddaughter, and she was at least somewhat acceptable. He raised an eyebrow and said, "Yes, get up."

Feeling a great sense of accomplishment after receiving the teacher's permission, Lu Diandian turned around and took Qiujiu's hand to leave. The two little ones sat side by side in the last seat, looking at Zhao Chen with adorable expressions.

Qiuqiu was still relatively clear-headed and remembered to behave well and leave a good impression on the teacher, but Lu Diandian didn't have so many reservations. She simply pulled a bag of pastries from her red handbag and pushed it towards Qiuqiu, saying domineeringly, "Eat!"

Chiu Chiu's docile behavior lasted less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before she surrendered to the temptation of Little Sister's delicious pastries. However, she remembered that she was a student and needed to be careful when eating.

In the blink of an eye, Zhao Chen noticed that there was only one child left from the two children who were sitting side by side. Upon closer inspection, he saw the younger one squatting under the table, his face covered in crumbs from eating snacks.

Zhao Chen said with a dark face, "Have some water!"

Lu Diandian also found herself growing to like this teacher; he was truly a wonderful person!

"Chirp, drink some water." She bent down to feed Chirp water, afraid that she would choke to death.

Zhao Chen pinched his philtrum, feeling like he was about to faint from anger. "This child is hopeless!"

Why did he listen to the servant's advice and start his introductory education? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

"Amin, you've really gotten me into big trouble!"

Amin was the masked man standing behind him, whose gaze hadn't left Qiuqiu since she appeared. Hearing Zhao Chen's words, he quickly lowered his head and pursed his lips in response, "The teacher's merit in enlightening a child is immeasurable."

Zhao Chen couldn't help but rub his fingers together, his palms slightly sweaty. "Yes, yes, the master said that the merit of enlightening a child is immeasurable."

She stuffed the pastry in her hand into her mouth with a chuckle, but why did she feel that this Master Zhao was a little strange?

Lu Diandian leaned over and whispered to Qiuqiu, "My mother said that Master Zhao is very superstitious. I have his favorite yellow talisman in my bag. I'll give you one later, and we'll find a chance to give it to him."

Zhao Chen was a man of great learning and talent, and had been a prized student of Mr. Liang. He was a man with a promising future. However, he was extremely superstitious and made a mistake in witchcraft. He was forced to resign from his official post and go into seclusion.

Having already taught several promising disciples, he could have honestly been a teacher. However, as he grew older, many of his frustrations and unfulfilled ambitions were magnified, and his desire to return to the capital to prove himself became increasingly strong.

He was fortunate enough to receive guidance from a wise hermit who told him that as long as he enlightened young children, he could accumulate merit and thus prove himself again.

He merely accepted the Lu family's invitation to tutor Lu Diandian, and soon after, many prominent families in the capital came knocking on his door. Having a tutor for the young ladies and gentlemen of these families certainly boosted his reputation.

It seems the expert wasn't lying to him!

Zhao Chen's gaze suddenly turned fiery as he looked at Lu Diandian and Qiujiu. "You two, come sit in the front."

Someone so short can sit in the last row, hurry up!

The two short, stocky girls sat hand in hand in the front row. Chiu Chiu looked at Ah Ming, then suddenly turned to Dot Dot and said, "He looks like... a little rascal."

"Shh!" Lu Diandian covered Qiuqiu's mouth. "Keep your voice down. You can't say these things in front of bad people."

"Let's tease him from behind."

Chiu Chiu looked at Dot Dot with starry eyes, "Great!"

【Sister Dot Dot is so smart!】

Lu Diandian proudly puffed out her chest and said confidently, "Who in their right mind would wear a black mask in broad daylight?"

Amin: "..."
