My Little Girl (89)

Ji Xili happened to have something to tell Ji Xubai, so she went to his library . She thought he wouldn’t be busy at the time .  

So she opened the door and went in . But inside, she saw a girl in a white school uniform sitting at the table . She was tidying her dress collar, but her hair was a little messy .

Her expression was so dull that there was not a trace of color on her face . She hadn’t even looked up when Xili had come in, and just continued to tidy her clothes without saying a word .

Ji Xubai gave his sister a faint look . Instead of talking to her, he threw a paper at the girl .

“Go back and write it . Bring it to me for inspection tomorrow . If it is not done well this time as well, you know the consequences,” Ji Xubai said, before pausing a little . “Get out . ”

Wen Zhigu tidied up her clothes and hair, put the paper in her bag, and then left .  

It didn’t seem to be the first time she’d been treated like this .

After Wen Zhigu had gone out, Ji Xubai began to tidy up his own things .

Ji Xili frowned and asked, “Is that girl your student?”

Ji Xubai replied with a lazy, “Hmm . ”

“You are a teacher of the Yulin Academy . Shouldn’t you be cautious with your behaviour?” Ji Xili asked . She didn’t like his actions .

“She was being disobedient,” Ji Xubai declared in a heartless manner .

But his sister couldn’t stand his reasoning . She refuted, “Is this how you treat disobedient students?”

Ji Xubai paused, and then hooked his lips up a little . In a faint voice, he said, “Not really . She’s an exception . ”

“Ji Xubai, I don’t care what you do! But your surname is Ji . Think about the family when you are dealing with people, ” she reprimanded .

Ji Xubai put away his books, and then looked up at her and said, “I know . What can I help you with?”

His question reminded her of the original reason she came here . She knitted her brows and said, “Father was given some news today . He said to let you know to be careful in the academy, especially in Cla.s.s 1 . That group of students is likely to have spies from other countries hidden within . ”

Ji Xubai glanced at her and sat down . His slender fingers knocked on the table, before he picked up Wen Zhigu’s exam paper and flipped it over . Caressing the handwriting on the sheet, he answered in a calm voice, “Yes . ”

Back at the Sheng Courtyard, Shu Nuan was informed by Li Yuan that the prince would be returning late . She didn’t question much further, and instead she washed up and went to the library to read .

She put the examination paper on top of her bag to tell Sheng Qianmo that she’d gotten a great result, so he’d praise her .

But after looking at the paper for a while, Shu Nuan put it inside a book instead . Then she took out another book and sat down to read it .

But after some time, she dropped the book on the table and closed her eyes in frustration .

Not surprisingly, Shu Nuan again fell asleep in the library . When she woke up, a vague fragrance of sweet milk tea reached her nose . She rubbed her eyes and sat up in a daze, and she saw before her a bowl of hot milk tea with pastries on the side .

She looked at it for a while, but didn’t consider whether Sheng Qianmo had come back . Holding the bowl, she sipped it with a bowed head, pausing to eat a pastry from time to time .

In the middle of her meal, the door of the library opened .
