Feeling the cool touch of those fingers between his brows, Helian Si blinked.
The little head involuntarily moved closer to those icy fingers. "Ew, the teacher's fingers are so cold."
Suddenly, as if struck by a sudden thought, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she blinked her grape-like, watery eyes.
With her rosy cheeks, she looked up at Nanrong Jinghua, her face filled with concern and a little expectation as she spoke.
"Master, have you caught a cold?"
Before Nan Rong Jinghua could answer, the little girl couldn't wait to display her charm as a sweet and considerate daughter, showing genuine thoughtfulness.
"Master, if you've caught a cold, you should rest at home. Don't force yourself to come and teach Sisi, really!"
Because Sisi didn't want to listen to the lecture at all, this five-year-old child said she didn't want to experience such human suffering.
Especially when she saw the three books that Nan Rong Jinghua had placed on the table, the little girl's rosy face showed a deep sense of bitterness and resentment.
Ah Xun and Yue'er, standing to the side, clearly saw Helian Si's impatient expression.
Ah Xun turned her head away and snorted coldly, thinking to herself that this little princess really didn't know what was good for her.
I don't know what my young master was thinking. Why did he have to condescend to teach this little princess who only dozes off in class?
He was a servant born into the Nanrong family and was influenced by the family's scholarly atmosphere from a young age. As a result, he couldn't stand those who were unambitious and didn't know the value of knowledge.
Unfortunately, in Ah Xun's eyes, Helian Si was exactly that kind of person.
Standing close to Ah Xun, Yue'er naturally heard Ah Xun's cold snort. Although Yue'er was ashamed of her little princess's unwillingness to listen to lectures.
Seeing that Ah Xun, a mere servant, treated her little princess with such disdain, Yue'er was also displeased.
He frowned, and although he didn't say anything, he secretly made a mental note of it. From then on, he was no longer as kind to Ah Xun as before.
Even through the long silk curtains, Nan Rong Jinghua could clearly see the bitter and resentful look on the little girl's face.
His thin, clear lips pursed slightly, a sudden pang of regret rising in his heart. Had he known that Sheng Sheng would be so unwilling to listen to the lecture,
Why should I take on this role as a tutor, only to incur Sheng Sheng's dislike for me? But Sheng Sheng is still young, and leaving the palace would be inconvenient for her.
She was not one of the people in this palace after all, and the only way she could get close to her was through her identity as the Master.
He bent down slightly, took the little girl into his arms, and spoke in a soft, gentle voice, as clear as an orchid in a secluded valley.
"Sisi, don't you like listening to lectures?"
Helian Si nodded hurriedly like a chick pecking at rice, his face full of anticipation, and he started to act cute and coquettish.
"Mmm, mmm, Sisi doesn't like it. You're the best, Master. Let's not have a lecture, okay?"
Is it that watermelons don't taste good in summer, or that drawing books aren't pretty anymore? Why should we feel the suffering of the world?
Although she said that, Helian Si had no hope. Let's just consider this her last bit of stubbornness. Sigh...
But the next second, that clear, gentle voice, like a solitary orchid in a secluded valley, spoke up, "Alright, there will be no lecture today."
Helian Si blinked, then blinked again, thinking he might have misheard. He looked at Nan Rong Jinghua.
Seeing Nan Rong Jinghua's expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, the little girl's heart pounded.
The little hands were trembling with surprise, and the little mouth was slightly open. After a long while, the little one finally spoke, both nervous and excited.
"Really? Really?"
Is this unexpected happiness real?
