Chapter 147 - Forgot to Revise 95% Subscription Comments Red Envelope Supplement
The morning sunlight streamed through the carved window lattice, filtered by the windowpanes into patches of light that danced on the boy's face, sliding down from his brow bone and nose to finally rest on the corners of his slightly upturned lips, like a tender kiss between lovers.
Even the light seemed to favor him.
As if sensing the intense gaze from his side and behind, he casually turned his head away.
The shimmering light, like gold leaf, danced around, and dust motes floated and sank in the interplay of light and shadow. When he turned his head, his chin was hidden in the interplay of light and shadow, which made his bone structure appear even more perfect, as if it had been meticulously sculpted.
Meeting the girl's slightly stunned gaze, he smiled lazily and silently asked, "Looking at me again?"
A beam of light slanted in and fell on his prominent Adam's apple, moving up and down with his speech, as if tenderly caressing a delicate jade statue.
A pale golden halo enveloped him, and he smiled at her within it.
Yan Jiarou stared blankly at him for a moment, and before she knew it, she let go of her hand, and the handful of pine nut candy in her hand scattered and rolled to the ground. The noise was not big, but it was not small either, and it was particularly abrupt in the quiet school.
The Grand Tutor looked in the direction of the voice and frowned even more deeply when he saw it was her.
He was already quite dissatisfied with Yan Jiarou. This little princess was beautiful and fair-skinned, extremely cute, but she was a complete show-off. Not only was she not very bright, but she also didn't put her mind to teaching. During a class, she would turn to the Third Prince a hundred or eighty times. She was so busy looking at him that she couldn't possibly concentrate on teaching!
He immediately picked up the ruler, walked straight to her, and with a sharp crack, the ruler struck her desk. His face was full of anger: "Princess Qinghe, may this old minister ask you, Your Highness, the 'Rules for Women' says, 'Be chaste, quiet, and leisurely, and act with a sense of shame.' Do you know what 'acting with a sense of shame' means?"
Yan Jiarou, of course, had no idea. She barely understood the meaning of the sentence, let alone made an interpretation. She just opened her innocent and clear eyes and shook her head blankly.
"You!" The Grand Tutor glared at her, his eyes and nose looking like utter disdain.
The little princess is so stupid that she doesn't even know the basic meaning. How can you reason with her? It's like casting pearls before swine!
The Grand Tutor waved his hand, snorted coldly, and said, "Go back and copy 'Rules for Women' ten times!"
Yan Jiarou naturally understood this blunt statement, but it wasn't a kind word. If she copied it ten times, wouldn't she lose her hand?
Her lips twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The Grand Tutor wanted to scold her a few more times and make her stand outside as punishment, but then he heard Xiao Che's lazy voice from the side: "Grand Tutor, it's almost time to get out of school."
The Grand Tutor was taken aback, and the next moment, sure enough, he heard the school bell ring.
Now that the lesson was over, the punishment of standing in the corner was naturally omitted. The Grand Tutor snorted and said nothing more, leaving behind the words, "Today's lecture is over," before returning to the rosewood table with upturned corners, picking up the scriptures on it, and leaving.
After the Grand Tutor left, some princes and princesses, along with their companions, also left one after another.
Before long, only Yan Jiarou and Xiao Che remained in the school.
Yan Jiarou had just been scolded and punished by the Grand Tutor, so she was naturally in a bad mood. With her head down, she fidgeted with her fingers and couldn't help but start to shed tears again.
Xiao Che walked up to her, sighed softly, and finally sat down beside her, pulling her onto his lap. He reached out and wiped away her tears, saying, "Alright, I told you not to look at me during class, but you never listen. Why are you crying now? Is such a small thing worth your tears?"
"I don't care! I got scolded because of you, how can you say such things..." The little girl wrapped her arms around his neck, swinging her legs back and forth, and started to act spoiled again: "Besides, you're so good-looking, even if you're seducing me, it's your fault, you have to take responsibility!"
Xiao Che loosely wrapped his arm around her waist and gave a slight smirk: "You're not even ashamed to spout such nonsense?"
"Mmm...no..." the little girl whined, "It's not nonsense, Third Brother, you really have to take responsibility...otherwise I won't go down, I want you to hold me for the rest of my life!"
Xiao Che raised an eyebrow: "That doesn't sound so bad."
"No, please help my third brother, I don't want to copy 'Rules for Women' ten times..."
Xiao Che smiled lazily, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, letting the little girl coax him and say sweet words. When the little princess's patience ran out and she was about to explode, and he had already had enough, he finally relented: "Alright, I agree. Anyway, it's not the first time I've helped you. Your handwriting is soft and gentle, just like you. It's not hard to imitate."
"Really?" A reluctant agreement is always especially exciting. She didn't know that this was Xiao Che's usual tactic towards her. She was just happy to think that he had finally softened and agreed after her coquettish pleading. She happily kissed him on the face several times: "Brother, you're so good!"
"Of course it's true. There's no need for our little rabbit to learn or copy such nonsense as 'Rules for Women.' You're going to marry me eventually anyway, so there's no need for any discipline. Just be happy."
Yan Jiarou looked at him blankly, not understanding the deeper meaning of his words. She was just happy to know that she didn't have to copy the book anymore.
In a better mood, she proudly presented him with a pine nut candy: "Here, I accidentally spilled all the pine nut candies earlier, but luckily I had one in my other hand and was about to put it in my mouth, so it didn't fall. Here's the only pine nut candy left, I'll give it to you!"
Xiao Che lowered his eyes and looked at the pine nut candy she was holding between her fair fingers. It was about the size of a thumb, as lustrous as amber, and the pine kernel inside could be faintly seen under the sunlight. It smelled sweet and looked very tempting. No wonder that even though Xiao Tu had brought the candy to his lips, her eyes were still fixed on that candy, and she would swallow her saliva from time to time.
Xiao Che chuckled: "There's only one left, and you're willing to give it to me?"
The little princess nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'm willing. Although I like pine nut candy, I like Third Brother even more. I'll give it to Third Brother..."
Xiao Che smiled, reached out and pinched her chubby cheeks, his gaze softening and overflowing with affection: "Alright, I appreciate your kindness, little rabbit. You can eat it yourself. I don't really like sweets."
"Oh well."
Since Xiao Che had said so, Jia Rou obediently put the pine nut candy into her mouth and immediately began to suck on it. The sweet taste melted between her lips and tongue. Perhaps it was really so delicious that she happily squinted her eyes.
Sugar stains clung to her lips, and a sliver of cherry-pink tongue peeked out, gently licking her rosy lips. Wherever the tongue touched, her lips glistened with moisture, gleaming alluringly in the sunlight.
Xiao Che gently stroked her cheek, his Adam's apple bobbing: "Sweetheart, is the candy sweet?"
"Mmm! It's sweet. Third Brother, would you like to try some?" Only after saying that did he realize that there was only one candy left, which she had already put in her mouth. He could only stick out his tongue apologetically, "It's okay, Third Brother, I'll bring you some next time!"
Xiao Che smiled slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "There's no need for a next time."
After saying that, he placed his large hand on the back of her head and leaned down to kiss her soft lips.
Jia Rou was taken aback, then hugged his neck even tighter and tilted her head back to meet his embrace.
Their lips intertwined, their saliva exchanged, and the sweet taste of pine nut candy spread between their lips and tongues.
When the kiss ended, Jia leaned softly against his chest, her eyes moist and her face flushed. She whispered reproachfully, "Brother, you're doing this again..." He never told her anything when he kissed her.
Xiao Che chuckled softly, lowered his head to suck on her smooth, white earlobe, and said in a hoarse voice, "Pine nut candy is indeed very sweet, but little rabbit is even sweeter."
