The next morning, Lu Ankang went to school excitedly.
When he arrived, Lu Yan and Lu Changchuan were already sitting inside, holding books and reading seriously.
Pei Rushi smiled brightly, "Brother Kang is here, you can sit here."
He pointed to the place in front of him. Lu Ankang paused and seemed reluctant to go over.
That position was too close to the Master, and he was a little worried.
"What are you standing there for? Sit down!" Pei Rushi was still smiling, but this smile made the two children next to him tremble uncontrollably.
"Yes, Master." Lu Ankang went over with his head held high, thinking that Pei Rushi should not be as strict as Old Man Song.
Otherwise, the mute Lu Yan and the fool Lu Changchuan would not have been able to endure it for so long.
"Today, let's practice writing first."
Pei Rushi first demonstrated and then asked them to follow. Lu Ankang was a little nervous, and his hand holding the pen was shaking.
When Master Song was teaching him how to write, he often lost his temper and said that his handwriting was worse than a dog's, and he would slap his palms at any time!
So, when his dog-crawling calligraphy was taken away, Lu Ankang was really nervous. He secretly glanced at the people around him and found that they seemed very calm and not nervous at all.
Could it be that they write well?
When he thought of this possibility, Lu Ankang's heart began to tremble!
"Not bad, you are teachable." Pei Rushi nodded while holding Lu Ankang's calligraphy. "It is very suitable for your age."
Are you praising me?
Lu Ankang looked up in disbelief, expecting a barrage of scolding, but unexpectedly, he was met with Pei Rushi's affirmative gaze!
This teacher, he really made the right choice!
At the same time, Lu Yan also saw the calligraphy. His eyes froze, and then he silently took Lu Changchuan's calligraphy, replaced it with his own, and handed it to Pei Rushi.
Pei Rushi watched coldly, and when he saw the two pieces of calligraphy, he gave him a meaningful look.
"Your handwriting...is getting worse. Go back today and copy it thirty times."
Lu Yan nodded, his expression calm.
But in Lu Ankang's eyes, it was a look of loss, sadness and frustration.
This prince is nothing but that!
My handwriting is not even as good as his!
Lu Ankang couldn't help laughing, but when he saw Lu Changchuan's calligraphy, he subconsciously shut his mouth.
Because he heard Pei Rushi say in praise: "Changchuan's calligraphy has improved, not bad!"
Lu Changchuan felt a little embarrassed by the praise. But seeing that Master Pei and Lu Yan both looked calm, as if he was born to be so outstanding, he tactfully shut up and silently accepted the praise...
After class, Lu Ankang was praised by Pei Rushi again.
It is said that it is quite good that he has achieved such accomplishments at such a young age. There is no need to force him to learn too fast. He can just learn slowly.
Lu Ankang felt like he was floating as he walked on the way home from school!
"Prince, why did you change the calligraphy today?" After returning to the room, Lu Changchuan couldn't help but asked.
Besides, they didn't go to school like this in the past.
Master Song was strict, but at least he was strict within limits. However, if they offended Pei Rushi, they would often face a hellish punishment!
Today, Master Pei was not only cheerful and kind in class, but also seemed possessed by a ghost. Even when he saw Lu Ankang's ugly handwriting, he could still praise it with a smile, which completely refreshed Lu Changchuan's entire understanding of human beings!
Lu Yan looked at him quietly and wrote silently: "Are you willing to be valued by the teacher?"
He already knew that he had been poisoned, and the murderer was most likely in the mansion.
In the past, he was so talented that he was praised as a prodigy wherever he went. But after experiencing these things, Lu Yan felt that sometimes, possessing a treasure is a crime.
He was just an abandoned mute prince. If he could still read and write well, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to be a mute anymore...
Lu Changchuan didn’t understand the twists and turns, but he knew that the prince was good to him and would definitely not harm him!
"Prince, do you think that the Master values me?" Lu Changchuan's parents died early, and he has been living under the care of his relatives since he was a child. What he is best at is observing people's words and expressions.
The days he spent in the Marquis' Mansion were the best days he had ever lived.
Although Lu Yan is the prince, he does not discriminate against him as his adopted son. Instead, he tutors him diligently to prevent him from being punished by the teacher.
Lu Changchuan looks rough, but his heart is more delicate than a needle tip. "Whatever the prince wants me to do, I will do it."
He will follow the prince for the rest of his life!
Lu Yan was touched!
After learning all the truth, he actually had many dark thoughts in his heart. He didn't understand why he was treated like this when he had done nothing wrong.
But his mother made him realize that sometimes, right and wrong are not that important.
What's important is how to learn to survive.
He hid his true feelings and lay dormant in secret. But now, when he met Lu Changchuan's scorching gaze, he flinched, which was rare.
Can he still believe it this time?
Or, should he ask his mother whether Lu Changchuan is trustworthy?
But deep down in his heart, there was another voice telling him, is it true that he has to have others make decisions for him for the rest of his life?
There are so many troubles in the Marquis' Mansion, but every time my mother encounters them, she always remains calm.
He also hopes that he can be like that!
"I can't show up now. If you are willing, I will help you." When Lu Yan wrote these words, he had expectations in his heart that he himself could not explain.
However, this expectation is mixed with fear - if he believes it, is he really right?
"Okay! I got it!" Lu Changchuan patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, my lord. I will work hard in the future and will never let anyone notice you!"
Lu Changchuan had heard of Lu Yan's reputation as a child prodigy when he was still outside.
But when he entered the palace, all he saw was the mute prince who was unable to speak out to redress his grievances even when being bullied.
He didn't know what happened in the meantime, but he had seen a lot of it outside before, so he guessed it was not a good thing.
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Lu Yan hesitated and continued writing: "It will be dangerous."
He didn't want to lie to Lu Changchuan. Lu Ankang was currently in favor. If Lu Changchuan performed better than him, there would definitely be danger.
Who would have thought that Lu Changchuan would just smile brightly, "I know!"
It is because I know this that I can’t wait to agree.
He protects his mute prince!
No matter how dangerous it is, just come!
Lu Yan looked at him steadily and wrote solemnly and seriously: "Don't worry, I will protect you."
The breeze outside was blowing gently, and the willow trees in the yard sprouted new buds, swaying slightly in the wind.
In this small world, two children made a seemingly playful vow. Their words were childish, but their sincerity remained unchanged. Perhaps many years later, even they themselves would never have imagined that their actions today would bring such a profound change to each other's lives...
