Chapter 154 Oops, I Forgot Qi'an
Xia Yueke, Duzai and a few others returned home in a mess.
Along the way, they chased each other and made a lot of noise, and now everyone was out of breath.
After watching Xia Yueke return to the stone house, Duzai Rongqiu and the others returned to their own place.
Xia Yueke's pigtails were almost coming undone, with a few strands of hair sticking messily to both sides of her cheeks. Her face was covered with beads of sweat from running, sparkling in the sunlight.
Her cheeks were flushed due to the intense exercise, her chest was heaving violently, and she was gasping for breath. She looked a bit like someone who had fled from famine.
Qian Jingyao was dressed neatly for travel, as if he was about to go out to do something. As soon as he took a step, he glanced at Xia Yueke and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
"Keke, didn't Qingyan say you were going to catch up on your previous knowledge with Master Qi'an? I was just about to pick you up, why are you back so soon?"
There was obvious doubt in his voice, and his eyes were fixed on Xia Yueke, as if trying to find the answer from her expression.
When Xia Yuke heard this, she was struck by a thunderbolt. She froze in her tracks, her body instantly becoming stiff, and the smile on her face froze. "Oh my god, I forgot about Qi'an!"
Her eyes were wide open, filled with fear and regret, and she secretly complained in her heart, wondering how she could have thrown such an important matter to the wind.
Now, Qi'an will definitely blame her again tomorrow. Will he impose more punishment on her?
When Xia Yueke thought about it, she felt like crying but had no tears!
Qian Jingyao frowned slightly when he saw her like this, and a faint "川" character formed between his eyebrows. "Keke, didn't you go? Then why did you come back so late? What did you do?"
His tone grew serious, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Xia Yueke was a little afraid to look directly into Qian Jingyao's sharp gaze. She felt like there was a little rabbit in her heart, and she was very nervous.
She was conflicted. Should she say that she had beaten someone up? If she said that, what kind of image would she appear in Qian Jingyao's eyes?
Is he a reckless, impulsive, violent person, or a troublemaker who ignores his studies and only cares about causing trouble?
Countless thoughts flashed through her mind instantly. The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt, and her fingers unconsciously twisted together.
Xia Yueke struggled internally, but ultimately chose to confess confidently:
"I'm going to teach someone a lesson. That Avocado guy bullied me before. Now Duzi and the others are here, right? Shouldn't I teach him a lesson and let him know how powerful I am?"
Qian Jingyao was surprised when he heard this. "What? Keke, you should have told me earlier. I'll go beat him up right now!"
As he said this, he pretended to walk out, his eyes full of anger and heartache.
Xia Yueke stopped him immediately, "Hey, hey, hey, no need, he's already been taught a lesson!"
Qian Jingyao sighed in self-blame, "It's all my fault. I was so focused on improving my strength that I forgot to observe what the Cub Academy is like first. Were you injured before?"
He looked Xia Yueke up and down, his eyes full of worry and concern, and put his hands gently on her shoulders, as if wanting to confirm whether she was safe.
Qian Jingyao shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and gently helped Xia Yueke to tidy up her messy hair, and gently tucked the few strands of hair scattered on her cheeks behind her ears, and said in a gentle tone:
"You are always so impulsive. How can I feel at ease?"
As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom and gently wiped the remaining sweat on Xia Yueke's face. "Let's forget about this matter, but you have to promise me that you won't casually clash with others in the future. What if you get hurt?"
Xia Yueke looked at Qian Jingyao's eyes full of pampering and concern, and her heart was filled with emotion. She hugged Qian Jingyao's waist and said coquettishly:
"I know Yaoyao loves me the most. I will try my best to control myself and not be impulsive in the future."
Qian Jingyao hugged her back, a doting smile on his lips, his eyes full of indulgence.
The two returned to the house side by side. The warmth inside the house was in stark contrast to the coolness outside.
As soon as Xia Yueke entered the room, his eyes were attracted by Qing Yan in the corner. He saw that he was concentrating on fiddling with something.
She walked closer curiously and saw that it was Qing Yan sitting there, holding a needle and thread in his hand, seemingly sewing animal skin. He looked a little clumsy but extremely serious.
Xia Yueke looked at him suspiciously, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Qingyan, why are you doing this?"
Qing Yan heard the voice, looked up and saw Xia Yueke, and immediately a silly grin broke out on his face, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Here, Yue, make animal skins!"
As he spoke, he raised the unformed animal skin in his hand, his eyes full of expectation and flattery.
Qian Jingyao explained slowly:
"Qingyan is so bored all day long, just playing around and having too much energy. I thought it would be better for him to learn some practical skills, like how to make animal skin clothes. Since the cold season is coming soon, I'll have him make you two thicker animal skins so that you can stay warm when you go out to play or go to school."
Xia Yueke nodded thoughtfully, a picture of snowflakes flying in her mind. "The cold season is coming soon, so won't it snow?"
There was a hint of excitement and anticipation in her voice, and her eyes were shining.
Qian Jingyao nodded slightly, "Of course. By then, the weather will be extremely cold, with ice and snow everywhere. Many cubs won't be able to withstand the cold and will have to hibernate at home! The cub school will also be closed."
Xia Yueke's eyes lit up, and she almost jumped up in surprise. "Not going? Then when will it snow?"
She was thinking in her mind that it would be best if she could get away with learning the beast rules!
That annoying Master Qi'an and the boring knowledge can all be thrown behind you.
Qian Jingyao walked to the window with steady steps, raised his hand and gently pushed open the window, and a cool breeze blew in.
He looked up at the sky outside, then carefully observed the thickness and flow direction of the clouds. After pondering for a moment, he said:
"Maybe in ten or twenty days! The weather is so unpredictable, it's hard to tell the exact date."
Xia Yueke's originally excited face instantly fell, full of disappointment, and her shoulders slumped slightly. "It's still so long! It seems that it will definitely not work."
She sighed helplessly, her little plan went down the drain, and she felt like a frost-bitten eggplant.
Forget it, she should think about how to get past Qi'an tomorrow!
Thinking about the various situations she might face tomorrow, she couldn't help but frown, a hint of worry in her eyes.
