Chapter 217 Special Relationship
The last time he saw her arguing with Azhu, he knew that Lin Yilan didn't mean to make trouble for Azhu. As for the cause of the incident, he didn't really care. But from spending time with Lin Yilan every day, he could feel that Lin Yilan was definitely a girl with a very gentle personality.
Even though Lin Yilan sometimes liked to show off her martial arts, even though he had seen Ah Zhu pestering Lin Yilan, and even though Lin Yilan finally fought with Ah Zhu and threatened Ah Zhu, Xu Ziwen knew that Lin Yilan had good intentions.
Lin Yilan looked at Xu Ziwen and smiled sweetly when she heard him praise her for being "kind." "I thought my image in Master's eyes had deteriorated to a negative level, but I didn't expect that in Master's eyes, I'm still a kind girl."
"Why, are you surprised by my evaluation of you?" Xu Ziwen looked at Lin Yilan's surprised expression and uttered a few words leisurely.
"Of course I'm surprised. Last time when I had a fight with Ah Zhu at the theater, you didn't listen to my explanation at all and told me to go home and reflect on my mistakes for seven days. You acted like a strict teacher punishing a student who had made a mistake."
"Your analogy is a bit inappropriate. Was I really that serious at the time?"
"You weren't really serious at the time, but Master, you're always so kind and affable. I've never seen you that serious before. All I thought at the time was, 'This is over! I'm in trouble! Master, I'm definitely going to ignore me from now on.' Even when I came here today, I was worried about this, afraid you were still mad at me."
Seeing Lin Yilan pretending to be frightened and patting her chest, Xu Ziwen looked at her with a smile, thinking that Lin Yilan was simply too cute. Having such a disciple was like getting a happy pill.
"You were worried that I would be angry, so you even slacked off during practice just now. Aren't you afraid that I will really stop teaching you and let you leave here?" Xu Ziwen said jokingly to Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan didn't expect Xu Ziwen to say that. She was just showing off, but she froze in her tracks. She was a little bit at a loss. She hesitated for a long time before she stammered:
"Oh, I really slept too late last night. I wanted to perform well and leave a good impression on Master, but I didn't expect to doze off..."
As Lin Yilan spoke, she lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly. Xu Ziwen looked at her without saying a word. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly.
Lin Yilan didn't hear Xu Ziwen's voice for a long time. She raised her head impatiently. She stared at Xu Ziwen for a while. She could see that Xu Ziwen was not angry at the moment, so she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Yilan drank the tea that Xu Ziwen had just poured for her, poured herself another cup of tea, and began to drink tea with Xu Ziwen. She had thought that she would be severely scolded for being absent from work today, but she didn't expect Xu Ziwen to not be angry, and actually allowed her to be absent and accompany her to drink tea!
Such a good master is hard to find even with a lantern. Lin Yilan thought so and felt that she was extremely lucky to have met Xu Ziwen.
After a while, Xu Ziwen seemed to have thought of something and asked, "I heard you just mentioned someone named Wang Yimo. Who is she? Is she the teacher who taught you business knowledge?"
"Yes, yes. Originally, I just wanted Siran to teach me when she was free. If there was anything I didn't understand at the Huo family, I would ask Huo Juncheng. But then Huo Juncheng said that since I was studying hard, he wanted me to study hard and hired a private teacher for me."
Lin Yilan sighed as she spoke, "Originally, I was enthusiastic about these things. Although some of the knowledge was indeed a bit difficult, I still had a strong will. But I didn't expect Wang Yimo's teachings to become more and more difficult. I also wanted the course to end quickly, so I could only occasionally stay up late to study."
Xu Ziwen nodded in agreement when he heard Lin Yilan say this. "How old is this Wang Yimo you're talking about? Is he a senior teacher?"
"She's about the same age as me, maybe even a year younger. But despite her young age, she's said to be a PhD graduate from a prestigious foreign university. She's quite impressive. She's studying business administration and hopes to inherit the family business."
When Lin Yilan heard Xu Ziwen asking about Wang Yimo, she patiently talked to Xu Ziwen about Wang Yimo. As she talked, she realized that something was wrong. Why was her master so interested in her private teacher?
Lin Yilan looked at Xu Ziwen, who was gradually lost in thought, with doubt in her eyes. She always felt that something was wrong. Finally, Lin Yilan could no longer suppress her curiosity and asked the question in her heart:
"Master, why are you asking me about Wang Yimo? Do you know Wang Yimo? Is she an old friend you haven't seen in a while? Then do you want me to introduce you to her?"
Hearing Lin Yilan's words, Xu Ziwen subconsciously shook his head, "No, we don't know each other. I'm just curious, yes, I'm just curious. A doctorate graduate at such a young age is really impressive..."
As Xu Ziwen spoke, he slowly fell into deep thought. Lin Yilan didn't know what Xu Ziwen was thinking at the moment, but what she knew was that although Xu Ziwen said that the two of them didn't know each other, the relationship between Xu Ziwen and Wang Yimo was definitely not that simple.
As for what the truth of the matter is, Lin Yilan needs to explore it herself.
Later, Lin Yilan and Xu Ziwen drank tea for a while and chatted with each other from time to time. However, most of the conversation was done by Lin Yilan, and Xu Ziwen listened beside them.
Although the two of them often spent their rest time together in this way, Lin Yilan could clearly feel Xu Ziwen's absent-mindedness at this moment.
Lin Yilan stayed for a while longer, then made an excuse to leave. She didn't know why Xu Ziwen suddenly became like this. Perhaps she could ask Wang Yimo about this matter...
…
It is absolutely true that Lin Yilan is busy every day. After practicing her voice at Xu Ziwen's place in the morning, she still has to attend the business administration class in the afternoon.
Although Lin Yilan had been slacking off at Xu Ziwen's place for the whole morning and had basically been resting, when she faced the business knowledge again in the afternoon, she soon began to feel drowsy again.
"Yimo, how long have we been in class? I'm a little tired. How about we take a break for a while, okay?"
Wang Yimo was just talking incessantly about a new knowledge point with Lin Yilan. When she heard Lin Yilan say that she wanted to take a break, she frowned slightly, but her sweet smile returned in an instant.
"Sister Yilan, we just had a ten-minute class. We just reviewed what we learned yesterday. I haven't introduced anything new yet."
