“Back then, I had just arrived at the academy as a herbalist, and you were my first class of students,” Sufa said slowly. “I still remember the first class; you left quite an impression on me.”
"Because I'm pretty?"
He chuckled, "That's one reason, but more importantly, you asked me right in class if I needed a wife. If I did, you could be my wife; if I didn't, then you should be my wife even more. I remember thinking for a long time about how to answer you after you said that."
Feng Guang hadn't expected that he had made the first move. Her forehead twitched, and she asked, "So what was your answer?"
“I said… if you get a perfect score on your herbalism exam, I will tell you the answer to this question.”
"You're too cunning."
Sufa patted her head. "Look at it from another angle, this is also for your academic benefit."
"So my herbalism grades improved after that?"
“No.” Sufa shook his head, his eyes full of helplessness. “You still skip class when you should. You can’t answer nine out of ten questions I ask. You’re more interested in swordsmanship than my herbalism.”
"That's because... I have a lively personality." If the reason she came up with was worth a hundred points, she would only get three.
But Sufa thought about it seriously. "Fengguang is right. You are lively, but herbalism is too dry and boring, so naturally you won't like it. At that time, I thought that Fengguang's question in class was just for fun."
"This...that..." She had no memory of that time and couldn't explain it.
Su Fa smiled slightly, "Although Feng Guang doesn't like herbalism, according to school rules, your truancy is too serious, so I have to punish you accordingly. That's why I started requiring you to come to the herb garden for extra classes after school. I still remember the pained little expression on your face when I told you I would give you extra classes."
"Of course...who wants to be kept after school for extra lessons?"
"Seeing you unhappy makes me extremely happy."
Fengguang: "..."
He raised his hand, his index finger curling and brushing against the tip of her nose. "Who told you to keep skipping my classes but not other teachers' classes?"
"Maybe it's because you're so beautiful that I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself if I look at you too much."
“I reluctantly accepted this explanation.” Sufa smiled. “Back then, to please me, you always liked to say that I was very beautiful. When I asked you to answer a question, you always liked to use ‘Teacher, how can you be so beautiful’ to brush me off.”
That really does seem like her style. And she really is a poor student, never a top student. Feng Guang felt deeply ashamed, looking at the sky and the ground but not daring to look at him.
Sufa chuckled. "Now you feel embarrassed?"
"Cough... I'm not embarrassed at all. This is called youthful arrogance and carefree spirit. Besides, you are indeed very good-looking. I'm not wrong about that."
"Yes, you're absolutely right." He smiled happily, then turned to an inn and said, "We've arrived."
Feng Guang looked at the inn with the sign that read "A Inn" and said, "This is the inn we used to stay in. It's still here. It's really amazing."
"It is said that maintaining a business is harder than starting one. The fact that this inn is still standing today suggests that the descendants of the former innkeeper must be quite capable."
