Side Story 6: The Handsome Scholar Next Door



Duofu rushed home as if fleeing, completely unaware of the disappointment in the eyes of the handsome scholar.

Looking at Duofu, whose face was flushed and who was smiling, Yinzhen couldn't help but feel a touch of tenderness in his eyes.

No matter how long he is raised by Duofu, he still has that innocent and naive look.

How wonderful! It has never been tainted, just the way he always liked it. He loved that little face that would light up with joy whenever she saw him.

Yinzhen didn't mind the rabbit leg meat that was already being served to him, which he had already bitten into. He took a small bite as if he really meant it, then chuckled and pushed it to Duofu's mouth. "You little glutton, it's rare that you still remember me. I don't like to eat these things, so you shouldn't eat too much either, lest you get a stomachache from eating too much greasy food later."

Duofu ignored the incessant chatter around him, munching on the roasted rabbit leg that had been pushed towards him, his face beaming with joy, showing no trace of the embarrassment he had just felt upon meeting the scholar.

After all, he had never shown any bad side to Yinzhen.

Of course, you have to be careful about your image in front of the pretty girl next door, otherwise what if she starts to dislike you?

He wanted to be friends with the pretty girl next door, since he had never seen anyone prettier than her in all these years.

Duofu happily ate by himself, stuffing the whole roasted rabbit into his stomach. He looked at the sky; it was still a bit early, but he didn't want to go outside anymore.

After thinking about it, he decided to turn into a little yellow dog and take a stroll in the yard. Maybe the handsome scholar would come back, and he could go and check on him then.

whee.

Duofu quickly returned to the room and in the blink of an eye transformed into an adorable little mongrel with short limbs, which then scurried quickly towards the yard.

I don't know if the scholar finished wandering around outside while he was eating barbecue, but even if he didn't see him, it doesn't matter, since we've seen him today anyway.

Duofu was quite lucky. After chasing flowers and butterflies for a while, he heard the sound of reading aloud coming from the neighboring courtyard. The magnetic and clear voice was immediately recognizable as that of the handsome scholar.

Duofu's eyes lit up, and he quickly released the live butterfly from his claws. As for the flowers and plants he had ravaged, he didn't even glance at them. He quickly found his crooked tree, and in the blink of an eye, the small, round ball had already climbed up the wall through the twisted branches, barking excitedly, "Woof woof woof, howl howl howl, hoo hoo hoo."

Zhou Yan had only wanted to give it a try. He figured that since the delicate and lively boy had already started playing outside, the little mongrel should have been let out to play as well.

This has always been the case.

Zhou Yan looked up in surprise. He had thought that the little dog, whom he hadn't seen for half a month, would have lost some weight, but he never expected that the little ball of fur would have become even rounder. From his angle, it looked like a yellowish-brown sphere.

Its pointed ears were small, and its little tail was completely invisible to him. As for its short, fat paws, from a distance it looked as if it had no paws at all.

Zhou Yan probably has never seen a gas canister in modern times, otherwise Duofu would look just like a small, walking gas canister.

Zhou Yan quickly put down the book in his hand, turned to the side and smiled slightly, knowing that his smile was most attractive from this angle.

In the past, as long as he slightly curled the corners of his mouth, the little mongrel would have its eyes light up, as if he were a piece of meat, staring at him and drooling.

Duofu was completely mesmerized. The beauty across from him was definitely seducing him. Otherwise, why would she be smiling at him so beautifully?

Duofu shakily clung to the ground, wanting to move forward but afraid to.

After all, he knew the difference between looking at a beautiful woman and embracing her. If he looked at her, he could say he was admiring her, but if he ran over, he didn't know if he could save his own life, and the other woman's life would definitely be in danger.

Duofu looked at Zhou Yan, who was reaching out to hug him, with some reluctance, then quickly turned his head and ran away without looking back.

It seems he can no longer come to the wall to admire the beauties.

Otherwise, he would have no beautiful women left.

Waaaaah…

Zhou Yan was completely dumbfounded. Was his smile terrifying just now?

Otherwise, why would the little mongrel that used to drool over him now turn and run away as soon as it sees him smile?

It looked as if a dog was chasing us.

Zhou Yan stared blankly as the round, yellowish figure disappeared before his eyes.

He probably didn't know that this would be the last time he saw that little mongrel.

After all, even if it cost him his life, the jealous Yinzhen would find a way to make him leave this place.

And they left willingly.

Duofu hadn't heard the sound of reading aloud from across the street for a long time. Later, while strolling around outside, he heard that Zhou Xiucai from the old willow tree alley had passed the imperial examination and gone to the capital to take the exam. He probably wouldn't be coming back.

For the two days after Duofu heard the news, his eyes were full of suspicion. He kept staring at his owner with suspicion, because it looked like his owner's hand was on it.

However, it seems there's no downside to this. Perhaps the handsome Zhou Xiucai can realize his political career. After all, don't all students hope to become officials?

Become an official and then change the world.

Duofu was dazzled by the other ideas after thinking about them for a few days, after all, there were so many novel and fun things to do in Jiangnan.

That handsome scholar Zhou was just a pretty person in his life during that period.

Yinzhen looked at Duofu, who had stopped caring about him after a few days, and nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, he understood Duofu very well; he was very fickle and easily bored.

Moreover, this time, he didn't use anything; he just gave the book-loving scholar Zhou a push so that he could go to the capital sooner.

Yinzhen quickly put this insignificant person behind him. As long as Duofu didn't mention him again, he really didn't have the time to bother with someone who had no other merits besides a handsome face.

As the emperor, Yinzhen may have had high expectations, but a 16-year-old scholar like him would be famous throughout the Jiangnan region. Calling him a child prodigy would not be an exaggeration.

He may have many good qualities, but if he attracts too much attention from his little darling, then all his good qualities are useless.

Because he is in a superior position, he has the ability and the power to decide on anyone or anything that is inferior to him in status.

When Yinzhen thought that he would no longer hear that annoying reading voice in the courtyard, a smile involuntarily appeared in his indifferent eyes.

No wonder his little darling likes to run in the yard; the breeze sweeping through the flowers and plants is indeed extremely pleasant.

This time of day is perfect for fishing, and it would be best to fish with him and Duofu under that tree.
