The next day, when Ah Li woke up, Shen Zhiyuan had just returned from outside.
Where did you go?
Ah Li looked at Shen Zhiyuan.
Shen Zhiyuan put his hands behind his back and said, "I didn't go anywhere, I just went downstairs for a walk."
A commotion arose not far away at that moment.
From a distance, it looked like several people had been beaten black and blue, stripped naked, and hung from a large tree not far away, crying out in vain.
Ah Li wanted to go and see, but Shen Zhiyuan stopped her, saying, "Have you finished washing up? It's almost time to eat, and I'll have to take you back to the academy later."
"Okay, I'm all washed up."
Ahri had only been awake for a short while and had already finished washing up.
At this moment, the waiter also brought the food up. However, he didn't dare to look at Ah Li or Shen Zhiyuan. Instead, after putting down the food, he lowered his head and hurriedly left.
Shen Zhiyuan handed the chopsticks to Ali and said, "Eat up. I heard from your father that you love braised pork the most."
Ahri did indeed like to eat meat, so she quickly started eating.
Shen Zhiyuan watched Ah Li eat quietly, occasionally picking up food for her.
Ah Li looked at Shen Zhiyuan with some confusion. Shen Zhiyuan then looked away and said, "I'm used to serving food to people."
Ahri nodded and said, "Everyone has their own habits, that's normal."
Seeing that Ah Li ate very quickly and didn't seem to mind his actions of picking up food, Shen Zhiyuan smiled.
After Ah Li finished eating, Shen Zhiyuan wanted to carry Ah Li away.
Ahri quickly dodged away, saying, "Last night was unavoidable, but it shouldn't be necessary today."
Shen Zhiyuan said expressionlessly, "It is indeed inappropriate. I will go and prepare a carriage."
Ahri nodded and said, "Okay."
Soon, Shen Zhiyuan rented a carriage and had someone take them to Wanqing Academy.
When they arrived at Wanqing Academy, Shen Zhiyuan did not get out of the car.
After Ah Li jumped off the carriage, she said to Shen Zhiyuan, "Then I'll be going now."
At this moment, Qin Tianming appeared, along with several other people.
They said, "Wow, this person came so early today!"
"Brother Tianming, is this person waiting for you again?"
Hearing the voices of those people, Shen Zhiyuan lifted the carriage curtain and looked over.
The leader was far too frail.
Ah Li pretended not to hear, waved to Shen Zhiyuan again, and walked into the academy.
The people around Qin Tianming said, "Back then, we were always following Brother Tianming around. Has the sun risen in the west now?"
"That's enough. I told you not to mention it again."
Qin Tianming looked in the direction Ah Li had left.
Since she stopped bothering him, he wasn't unhappy or uncomfortable; he never liked her anyway.
During the time she was bothering him, he was sometimes really annoyed.
Sometimes he would explicitly refuse, telling the person that he simply didn't like it.
But this person acted as if she couldn't understand, always following behind him and doing things that she didn't need to do at all.
Now that she has finally come to her senses, Qin Tianming is very pleased.
Shen Zhiyuan glanced at Qin Tianming. He couldn't get out of the carriage and beat up these scholars like he had done the night before, lest Ali think he was just a brute with no real strength.
Soon, Shen Zhiyuan told the driver to leave.
The sound of reading aloud from the academy also rang out, carrying far and wide.
When Shen Fei arrived at the academy, he brought Ah Li a message: "Your father brought a man back home, saying he wants to be your husband."
Ah Li thought of the person who poisoned Chow Tai Fook and ran away with the money; this must be the person.
Seeing that Ah Li was still reading the book, Shen Fei nudged her and asked, "Aren't you surprised at all?"
Ah Li held the book and swayed his head, chanting, "When parents call, answer without delay. When parents command, act without laziness. When parents teach, listen respectfully. When parents reprimand, accept obediently."
Shen Fei muttered, "You've really turned into a bookworm."
Ah Li put away her book, tapped Chen Fei on the head, and said, "You should focus on your studies and martial arts practice. These are all trivial matters."
Shen Fei retorted, "This is a major life event for Sister Ali!"
Ah Li smiled without saying anything, picked up Shen Fei's book and started flipping through it.
Shen Fei pouted and obediently sat down; he still had homework to finish.
"Oh right, we also have to do boxing."
Ah Li flipped through the book and whispered something.
Shen Fei's hand holding the brush trembled slightly; Sister Ali was even stricter than the teacher.
This time, Chow Tai Fook sent someone to pick up Ali before the academy even had a holiday.
The reason he came up with was quite good: he said he was sick and needed Ah Li to go back.
Shen Fei was very unhappy, so Ah Li tapped Shen Fei on the head and said, "Wait for me to come back. I hope you can soar to the sky!"
Shen Fei muttered to himself, "I'm not a chicken."
Ah Li rubbed his head helplessly, then got into the carriage and went back.
When Ah Li returned to the Zhou residence, Zhou Dafu covered his mouth and coughed, saying, "Ah Li, your father is really sick."
Ah Li stepped forward, helped Zhou Dafu up, and asked, "Then why don't you go back inside and lie down?"
Zhou Dafu waved to one side, and a handsome-looking person walked over.
Zhou Dafu said to Ali, "This is a distant relative of mine. He's coming to stay with us for two days."
The man glanced at Ah Li quickly, then lowered his head and said, "Miss Zhou, my name is Mu Bai."
“Zhou Li.” Ah Li nodded to him as well.
Zhou Dafu then called the housekeeper over and said weakly, "Come back to my room with me and let the two of them have a good talk."
