Moreover, the old master is highly accomplished in the field of education and can be called an all-rounder. He has a wide range of knowledge in every subject, so it is most appropriate for him to help Xie Li organize and lay a foundation.
Originally, the old master did not want to take on any apprentices, but only agreed to teach Xie Li for a period of time, which made the old master Xie very happy.
Now that the old man has relented, isn't this a wonderful thing?
Realizing that Grandpa Xie wanted to persuade him, Xie Li said, "Grandpa, I have my reasons. I'm sorry, I will not become an apprentice and will disappoint your good intentions."
Grandpa Xie sensed that Xie Li's attitude was quite firm, so he didn't say anything more.
He was quite domineering in his youth, and his word was law; he didn't change at all even in his old age. In the end, he could only simply ask less about the younger generation's affairs to avoid disharmony in the family.
But when it came to Xie Li, perhaps because of the heavy guilt in his heart, he always felt a tendency to favor the child a little more.
Xie Li said he didn't want to become an apprentice, and he didn't force him. "Fine, then I won't become an apprentice."
He sneered smugly, "Old Gu looked down on us before, but now he's shamelessly coming over to take us on as disciples. We're not happy about it."
When Mr. Gu first refused, Mr. Xie was not in a hurry. He knew Mr. Gu's temperament and that he cherished talent.
Xie Li's intelligence is high enough to make Old Master Gu realize his worth; the old man will eventually change his mind.
I just didn't expect the good thing to come so quickly. Xie Li actually won over the old man with a poetry challenge at a jade shop.
Now that things have fallen out and Xie Li refuses to become his disciple, all he can say to Old Master Gu is two words—serves him right!
"You can refuse the apprenticeship offer, but as for tutoring..." If you ask Grandpa Xie, while Old Gu is trying to make amends, it would be great to squeeze him as much as possible.
"No need." Xie Li looked somewhat dazed; she didn't want to see Old Master Gu at all right now.
However, she didn't want Grandpa Xie to worry.
"Grandpa, I can find someone to help me with my studies. Um, it's my next-door neighbor. He's from Linjiang No.1 Middle School."
So, late at night, after the two had said their goodbyes, Luo Zhihan looked at the girl in her pajamas who appeared by the window and was slightly stunned.
But soon, he reached out and naturally pulled the person into the room.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Luo Zhihan lowered her long eyelashes and looked down at her slender fingers.
The soft touch and faint herbal scent seemed to linger in my palm.
He raised his head and stared intently into Xie Li's eyes: "Do you know how dangerous it is to break into a man's room late at night? You... never mind."
Xie Li felt a little embarrassed, as if he had offended someone's privacy.
"Sorry... I just wanted to come and give it a try. I saw that the light was still on in your room, so I knocked on the window."
Little did anyone know that Luo Zhihan was right by the window, and he reached out and opened it.
Xie Li was somewhat at a loss: "Mainly, I don't really want to bother Butler Xu..."
Actually, she could vaguely sense Xu's attitude; it seemed that he was always intentionally or unintentionally preventing her from being alone with Luo Zhihan.
If Butler Xu knew she had come to see Luo Zhihan late at night, he would probably have said that Luo Zhihan was already asleep and then respectfully escorted her back to the Xie family.
Luo Zhihan gave a soft "hmm" and led her to sit down on the sofa in the lounge area.
He said "Wait a moment" and went out for a while, and Xie Li took the opportunity to secretly look around his room.
Like him, he gives people a very clean and tidy feeling, even a little too clean.
