Chapter 155: First Admit of Mistake
Although Xia Yueke prayed devoutly in his heart that time would move as slowly as a snail, so that the terrible meeting with Master Qi'an could be postponed indefinitely.
However, the ruthless time was not affected by his subjective will at all. The next day came on time as usual, accompanied by the rising sun.
Xia Yueke, feeling uneasy, came to the school with Duzi and the others, dragging heavy steps.
Along the way, the stern face of Master Qi'an and various possible scolding scenes kept appearing in her mind, so that she seemed a little absent-minded.
After entering the classroom and sitting in her seat, she felt even more uneasy. Her butt felt like it was being pricked by countless needles at the same time, and she couldn't have a moment of peace.
Rongqiu was naturally smart, and with his sharp eyes, he quickly noticed that Xia Yueke was acting strangely. Concern in his heart prompted him to immediately move forward and ask softly:
"Keke, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so weird? Don't carry it alone. Tell us now. We can definitely help you find a solution!"
When Xia Yuke heard Rongqiu's question, the worry on her face became more intense. She looked sad, and her originally lively and playful fox ears now drooped listlessly, as if silently telling of her inner pain and helplessness.
"Didn't we go teach that avocado a lesson yesterday? I was so busy venting my anger that I completely forgot about Qi'an's reminder to me every time after school to review my previous knowledge. You know Qi'an, he always takes these things very seriously. I'm sure he'll be angry again this time, and there might be even more severe punishment waiting for me."
Juanjuan was also surprised when he heard Xia Yueke's words. He subconsciously supported his chin, his eyes widened, and said in surprise:
"Ah, you were scolded yesterday, and now you have to deal with this bad luck again. What should you do?"
The ball tilted its head slightly, thought for a moment and said:
"Actually, Qi'an is a pretty good person. Although he's usually a bit strict with us, it's for our own good. I think if you take the initiative to admit your mistakes and be sincere, maybe he'll forgive you this time."
After hearing what Rongqiu said, Xia Yueke felt conflicted for a while and felt that there seemed to be no better way.
She bit her lip, slowly stood up, took a deep breath, as if mustering up great courage, and then walked towards Qi'an's stone house.
Along the way, her steps were a little heavy, and she kept thinking about how to apologize to Qi'an, and her fox tail was swinging restlessly behind her.
Although Qi'an was usually a bit annoying, this time it was indeed her fault. I don't know how long Qi'an waited yesterday...
Qi An sat at the table in the stone house. The candlelight on the table flickered, and the light and shadow swayed on his face.
He was sorting some animal skin scrolls, which were densely covered with teaching points and knowledge summaries.
Yesterday, Qi'an waited for Xia Yueke's arrival in this stone house early in the morning as per the usual agreement.
From the afternoon when the sun was still warm, until the night was deep and the sky was full of stars, he never moved, thinking that the naughty Xia Yue would come in a hurry.
However, as time passed, until the night was as dark as ink, Xia Yueke's figure still did not appear.
Qi'an's initial patient waiting gradually turned into doubt, and then deep disappointment and a little anger. Finally, he stood up angrily and left the stone house.
At this moment, he heard Xia Yueke's timid knock on the door. He raised his eyes slightly, put down the pen in his hand, and said calmly:
"Come in."
Xia Yueke pushed open the door, lowered her head, nervously tugging at the corners of her clothes with both hands, and slowly moved in front of Qi'an, her voice trembling with guilt:
"Master Qi'an, I was wrong. I forgot to come yesterday. I really didn't mean to."
Qi An looked at her quietly, without much emotion in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he said:
"Xia Yueke, do you know how important learning is to your growth? Every lesson and tutoring session is to help you better survive and thrive on this continent. If you continue to act so recklessly, how can you become a qualified member of the tribe?"
Although his tone was serious, there was no excessive anger.
Xia Yueke lowered her head even more, with her ears pressed tightly against her head, and responded in a low voice:
"I know I was wrong, Master Qi'an. I won't do it again. I will discipline myself and take my studies seriously."
Qi An sighed softly, stood up, walked to Xia Yueke, and patted her shoulder:
"Well, since you've admitted your mistake, let's see how you perform from now on. I'll give you an extra lesson today on what you learned yesterday. Don't let me down again."
Xia Yueke immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice, with a well-behaved expression on her face and her eyes sparkling as she looked at Qi'an.
"Okay, go back first. Don't be late this afternoon. By the way, do Duzi and Juanjuan and the others not know animal language like you?"
Qi'an asked with a calm look.
Xia Yuke nodded again, but was secretly wondering in her heart, is it possible that Qi'an also wants those three little brats to come together in the afternoon to review their previous knowledge?
Her eyes rolled around, wondering how these friends would react if they knew.
Qi'an continued:
"In that case, why don't you call those three little guys over this afternoon? I'll find some time to quickly teach you guys about animal language. I'm currently teaching a numbers class, and you... seem to know it all?"
There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
Xia Yueke immediately grinned, rubbing the corners of her clothes unconsciously with her hands, "Hahaha, Master Qi'an, I only know a little bit!"
"Did an orc in your family teach you?"
Xia Yueke was afraid of arousing Qi'an's suspicion, so she nodded her head like a rattle and immediately agreed:
"Yes, that's what they taught me!"
"Okay, if you have time, you can teach Duzi and the others. The previous content is relatively simple, so I won't teach them again. Let's just go straight to learning animal language together!"
Xia Yueke immediately nodded vigorously with a smile on her face, then turned around and went back.
Qi'an looked at her back and sighed deeply helplessly.
He had been in school for so long, but this was the first time he had met a kid as naughty and clever as Xia Yuke.
Xia Yueke returned to the big stone house and shouted excitedly:
"Hahahaha, Duzi, you three have to stay today too. Let's catch up on our previous knowledge together!"
When Duzi heard this, he sat up suddenly, his eyes wide open, and he muttered reluctantly:
"Huh? I still want to play in the woods!"
Juanjuan was drawing on the ground with a branch. Upon hearing this, he stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and said with a bitter face:
"Why do you suddenly want us to go too? Animal language is so difficult to learn."
The ball of fluff blinked his big watery eyes, tilted his head and asked:
"Keke, did you get into trouble and implicate us?"
