Ah, women.

Yi Shuihan sneered inwardly.

When he came over at night before, she was incredibly enthusiastic, as if he were a lover who had come to her bed.

Now that pretty boy is here, I'm no longer lonely at night, so I don't like him anymore.

Even his tone was icy.

They really turned their backs on you without hesitation.

That pretty boy isn't even a tenth as good-looking as him. Isn't she a lecherous woman? Why did she settle for second best?

With an inexplicable sense of annoyance, Yi Shuihan slowly walked towards Xiao Qingyin.

Xiao Qingyin sensed that this person's aura was not right, and unconsciously stepped back.

He hadn't taken more than two steps back when he reached the wall.

A faint smell of alcohol filled the air.

Xiao Qingyin frowned.

Could this guy be drunk and causing a scene at her place?

Yi Shuihan raised his hand to support himself against the wall, looking at the petite woman he had cornered against the wall, and curled his lips into a smile.

He leaned down and whispered in a deep, pleasant voice, "Of course I came to find you."

boom!

Xiao Qingyin felt a surge of heat instantly.

Is this guy flirting with her? Is he flirting with her? Is he flirting with her?

Looking at the magnified handsome face, the alluring eyes, and the captivating lips, Xiao Qingyin felt she was losing control.

Or should we just eat it?

Such a gem is not something you can find anywhere; you'll miss this opportunity if you don't take it now.

She licked her lips and reached out to hook her arm around the man's neck, but he straightened up.

He crossed his arms and chuckled, "Didn't you promise to teach me English? When do we start?"

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

Nobody stop me!

She's going to castrate this guy!

Seeing her angry and embarrassed appearance, Yi Shuihan's annoyance finally dissipated a bit.

Xiao Qingyin pushed him away impatiently: "Let's talk about it tomorrow. It's so late, I want to sleep."

"Is there anything I need to prepare?"

"Need not."

"Then I'll be going now."

Yi Shuihan walked out of the room with a happy expression.

Xiao Qingyin's sleepiness was completely gone, and she glared at the door with murderous intent, grinding her back teeth.

"You dare to mess with me? I'll torture you to death."

She ground the ink, laid out the paper, and began to write furiously, reciting the first volume of a classic textbook she had memorized while learning English in one go.

As I finished writing, I heard a rooster crowing in the alley.

Xiao Qingyin went next door and knocked on the door: "Wake up, it's time to get up and recite your lessons."

The neighbors next door were all martial arts practitioners with very sharp ears. They woke up as soon as Xiao Qingyin knocked on the door for the first time.

Upon recognizing Xiao Qingyin's voice, they exchanged bewildered glances: "Dr. Xiao, have you come to the wrong place? Does no one here study?"

"I'll go take a look."

Yi Wu threw off the covers and got out of bed. He quickly dressed and ran to the front door.

They discovered that someone had arrived earlier than them.

They stopped in their tracks.

Yi Shuihan drank quite a bit of alcohol last night and didn't sleep well. He was woken up and had a terrible headache.

He glanced at the pitch-black sky and said in a gloomy voice, "Do you really have to start class at this time?"

It was clearly revenge against him.

Xiao Qingyin patted the thick stack of papers in her hand and said expressionlessly, "I wrote your teaching materials all night long without closing my eyes."

One sentence left Yi Shuihan speechless.

He said awkwardly, "I didn't mean to rush you, there's no need to be in such a hurry."

"Alright, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and finish today's class so I can go back and catch up on my sleep."

"All right."

Yi Shuihan led her to the study.

Without saying a word, Xiao Qingyin started teaching English letters and phonetics.

I thought it would take Yi Shuihan at least two hours to memorize it, but to my surprise, he could recite it fluently in less than half an hour.

"You have a good memory."

She gave a compliment with a forced smile.

Yi Shuihan gave a humble smile.

"Let's begin the first lesson."

Xiao Qingyin taught Yi Shuihan to first learn vocabulary, and then try to translate it himself, comparing his translation with hers.

Then, we translated her translation into English and compared it with the original text.

"After completing the above steps, memorize the text."

Xiao Qingyin smiled.

"The master leads you through the door, but the rest is up to you. You will have to learn all the lessons on your own from now on."

Yi Shuihan was taken aback.

"You're only teaching one lesson?"

Is English really that easy to learn?

"Of course not. From now on, you will come to me once a day to recite and write down one lesson from memory. You can ask me if you don't understand anything. There will be a test every ten days."

Xiao Qingyin replied.

"We will no longer charge by the hour, but by the session, one hundred taels per session."

This teacher must have it so easy.

Yi Shuihan secretly grumbled to himself.

He learned the texts on his own; she just answered his questions.

Then she continued, "I painstakingly memorized the textbook, and it costs ten thousand taels of silver per book."

Yi Shuihan looked at the textbook, the ink of which was not yet completely dry: "..."

In no more than two hours, they will swindle him out of ten thousand taels of silver.

Xiao Qingyin looked at him with a calm and composed expression.

Yi Shuihan gritted his teeth: "I'll buy it."

He turned and called out the window, "Yi Wu, bring me ten thousand taels of silver."

He secretly regretted it.

If he had known that a drunken outburst would cost ten thousand taels of silver, he wouldn't have gone to see her last night.

Now look what's happened, her private coffers are about to be emptied.

Xiao Qingyin walked back to the Yun residence with the silver notes in her hand, feeling refreshed.

Just as she stepped through the gate, a graceful figure descended from the sky and landed in front of her.

It almost scared her.

"Don't appear out of nowhere like that, you'll scare people to death."

It's one thing to scare her, but if you scare an elderly person, that's no small matter.

Ji Yunhua said with a serious face, "Tell me honestly, which bed did you get out of so early in the morning?"
