Chapter 61 Strange Old Man

Li Ziyu and the other six took a look at Kong Xun, who had a gentle and harmless look on his face. It was annoying enough that this troublesome thing had followed them around.

The boy in front of me who smiles sweetly and calls me sister is even more annoying.

The head of the hill is theirs, why are there always these shameless people approaching her?

When Kong Xun heard the young man calling An Xin "Sister", his clear eyes darkened.

An Xin looked at the cute boy in front of her and couldn't bear to refuse him, so she said tactfully, "You want to go out and play with us, but your headmaster will not agree."

She thought that if the headmaster of this young student group was a bit reliable, he would not agree to let him follow this group of unfamiliar strangers to stroll on the beach.

“???” This wasn’t a subtle refusal on her part, right?

"If my dad agrees, and you agree to take me there, that's great, I'll go ask him right now." The young boy jumped happily and ran into the next yard.

"I was too subtle," An Xin looked at everyone and touched his chin, and asked in confusion: "Isn't the rejection obvious enough?"

Zhu Shijing: "Well, it is a bit reserved."

An Xin was very impressed and said, "Oh, I will improve next time."

The young boy was probably afraid that An Xin and the others would leave, so he ran into the yard and soon came out with a bulging cloth bag slung across his shoulder.

Following behind him was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin face and a beard.

When he saw An Xin and the others, he was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that there was a group of students living next door. Each of them had a tall and straight figure like a pine or bamboo, with elegant looks and extraordinary appearance.

So he stepped forward and bowed, "I am the headmaster of Yuejian Academy in Yushan County, my last name is Chen."

When Director Chen looked at An Xin and the others, An Xin and the others also looked at him.

He was wearing a dark blue gown that was about 80% new, had a thin figure, and had the temperament of a scholar.

If a person is around 40 years old but has deep forehead wrinkles, it means he is often worried.

An Xin bowed in return, "My surname is An, and I am the principal of Wanhua Academy in Lin'an County."

"Wanhua Academy," Dean Chen frowned and looked at An Xin: "You are Dean An Yuanrong~"

Shanzhang Chen saw that An Xin was wearing a plain blue shirt, with her hair tied up, and her eyebrows and eyes were dignified and generous, although there was no trace of tenderness in her body.

But her slender figure still made him hesitate when trying to identify her gender.

"My father has passed away. I am his only daughter, and now I manage the academy." An Xin told the truth.

"Ah!" Shanzhang Chen was shocked and apologized, "I was reckless."

The two men were not in the same county, so it was obvious that Chief Chen did not know that An Yuanrong had passed away.

An Xin: "No problem."

The two were not familiar with each other. After introducing each other, An Xin looked at the sky. Due to this delay, the sun had already risen in the east.

Director Chen knew that they were going to the beach to play, so he opened his mouth and wanted to persuade them.

Thinking that An Yuanrong was dead, and that his daughter's presence here was probably just a formality and that she had no intention of becoming famous at such a large literary gathering, he shut up again.

Thinking that his own kid would go with them, Shanchang Chen almost had a heart attack.

I can’t control it. I can’t control it.

So after An Xin and the others said goodbye and left, the wrinkles on Dean Chen's forehead deepened, "What a great group of students, good-looking and with good temperament.

Because of the death of An Yuanrong, the playful little An Shanzhang was delayed. "

Director Chen shook his head and walked back to the courtyard where he lived with a look of regret on his face.

An Xin and his friends were walking in Baichuan Academy, looking like they were going on a picnic, which stunned all the other friends.

When they were asked what they had heard when they were leaving the academy gate, it turned out that they were really going to the beach for a trip.

Student A: "Where did these weirdos come from? They actually have the leisure to go out and have fun two days before the literary gathering."

Student B curled his lips and said disdainfully: "He must be self-aware and know that his knowledge and talent are not good enough, so he let himself go and was in the mood to go to the beach to see the sea."

“…”

After An Xin got on the hired carriage parked in front of the academy, he looked at the old man opposite him, his eyes as clear as autumn water, and narrowed them.

"Hey, old man, why did you follow me when men and women shouldn't touch each other?" An Xin said with disgust, "I will lose face if you do this."

He has a thin and strong body, thin cheeks, and looks like a very tough old man. There is a smile in the corners of his wrinkled eyes.

"Little girl, do you know how to be polite? You were the one who said you wanted to go to the beach, and I just wanted to see the sea, so I followed you. Is that wrong?"

An Xin choked, "…" This is an incredible reason.

She also wants to go to heaven, why doesn't anyone take her there?

An Xin glanced at the old man wearing a dark-patterned casual uniform and curled his lips. If someone without experience knew anything, they would definitely think it was just ordinary silk.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

But An Xin guessed from the flowing luster of the fabric that this was probably not a fabric that ordinary people could get and be willing to wear.

An Xin was not in a hurry to ask the system for the old man's identity. After she felt that the old man had no ill intentions, she took out the pastries she bought yesterday to fill her stomach.

It’s because I left early and didn’t have time to eat breakfast.

"My dear, are the cakes delicious?"

An Xin was almost choked by these words. She stretched her neck and swallowed the pastry in her mouth.

He rolled his eyes helplessly and pushed the pastry towards the old man.

Old Mr. Gongsun Jin raised the corner of his mouth. He was sitting in the reception room of the academy. He heard the doorman ask them when they were leaving. He said they were students from Wanhua Academy in Lin'an County.

He guessed that this group of people should be the group of students from Wanhua Academy that his wife mentioned when she came back from Lin'an County and met at Jing'an Temple when she visited her relatives.

Unexpectedly, while other students were busy studying and wanted to become famous at the literary conference held by Baichuan Academy, these few were still thinking about going to the beach at this time.

He wanted to go and see for himself whether these little bastards were too capable and did not take his Baichuan Academy seriously.

Or maybe I am just too weak and came to this literary gathering just to show off.

If it's the latter, he should keep them and teach them what it means that knowledge can change one's destiny.

The idea of ​​giving up and lying down is unacceptable.

If An Xin knew what Mr. Gongsun was thinking, he would die of laughter. He obviously couldn't stand the fact that young people didn't make progress, but he had to say these nonsense.

Leling County belongs to the south, unlike Lin'an County which is just located in the south. Here, the scenery is still lush and green before October, without the desolation of late autumn.

When a gust of salty wind blew over, An Xin, who was leaning on the car window, knew that they were not far from the sea.

As instructed in advance, the coachman found an inn in a town not far from the sea and stopped there.

"Hoo!" The groom said, "Gentlemen, we have arrived at Yunhai Town."

An Xin saw the old man still leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed, not moving, so he gently pulled his wide sleeves, "Old man, wake up, we're here."

Old Mr. Gongsun Jin hadn't fallen asleep in the first place, and when he saw that An Xin didn't bother to leave him in the carriage, he nodded secretly with a look of satisfaction.

Just as his wife said, she is a kind and polite girl.
