CHAPTER 327: CHAPTER 307: DAMN IT_2

Yu Xiaolian waved her hand to interrupt Ma Xiyue, "Let bygones be bygones, we must look forward."

Ma Xiyue thought that Yu Xiaolian would spitefully humiliate her. To her surprise, Yu Xiaolian acted as if nothing had happened, as if there had never been any unpleasantness between them.

At this moment, Ma Xiyue felt a twinge of guilt.

That Yu Xiaolian could achieve her fame today is certainly no accident.

Not to mention anything else, just her capacity to forgive is already incomparable to hers.

If Ma Xiyue had won that competition, she might humiliate Yu Xiaolian every time she saw her, wouldn’t she?

The more Ma Xiyue thought about it, the more she realized she couldn’t compare to Yu Xiaolian.

"Thank you Yu Laoshi for the graduation certificate!" Ma Xiyue again bowed to Yu Xiaolian before blushing and sitting down at another place.

"Ah, did Ma Xiyue get the graduation certificate from the Women’s Virtue Academy?"

"She did, I heard it was Yu Laoshi who went to Teacher Lu and pleaded on her behalf."

"Wow... Yu Xiaolian is indeed remarkably tolerant!"

"Exactly, just this capacity to forgive alone is worthy of our admiration."

Yu Xiaolian listened to the buzz of discussions around her, tightly suppressing a smile, pretending to be calm and composed.

Little did she know that this scene fell into the eyes of several aged teachers, making them believe Yu Xiaolian to be a girl of good character, neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Alas, if only she weren’t a girl!

Several old teachers regretfully thought to themselves.

Once most people had arrived and seated themselves on the ground, the maids from Zhao Mansion brought exquisitely made pastries and fragrant tea to the tables.

Yu Xiaolian was turning her head back and forth, chatting with Su Jingchen sitting behind her.

Yu Xiaolian had been busy lately and hadn’t seen Su Jingchen for days.

Was he just as busy?

"Why didn’t you come find me?" Yu Xiaolian questioned Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen quickly explained in a low voice, "Sorry, I took a few days to recover, but I’m fine now."

The day Yu Xiaolian suddenly transported him into a confined space, Su Jingchen was actually very shocked, and he had been making mental preparations these recent days.

He also carefully thought about whether he was attracted to Yu Xiaolian’s peculiar ability or to her herself.

The conclusion was both!

He always believed that purely liking someone was untainted love, and if he approached Yu Xiaolian because he coveted the things in her confined space, then he wouldn’t be worthy of liking her.

Su Jingchen carefully recalled the process of getting acquainted with Yu Xiaolian.

He was very sure that his interest in Yu Xiaolian started with her distinctiveness.

But he then asked himself if one day Yu Xiaolian lost this peculiar ability, would he still like her?

The answer was yes.

So now, Su Jingchen feels at ease when facing Yu Xiaolian.

He feared becoming a hypocrite who covets Yu Xiaolian’s things, but he couldn’t resist wanting to know her secrets, thus Su Jingchen had actually been in great inner conflict these past few days.

Now seeing Yu Xiaolian slightly annoyed questioning him, he felt the last bit of uncertainty dissipate.

As long as she is his girl, nothing else mattered.

Took a few days?

Yu Xiaolian frowned; it seems her impulsive act that day frightened Su Jingchen.

"Oh, I won’t be so impulsive next time.

Were you scared?" Yu Xiaolian asked softly.

Su Jingchen gently shook his head, "No!"

In fact, he was a bit scared.

But as a man, how could he admit he was even a little scared?

In truth, no matter how skilled in martial arts or abilities someone is, they would also feel panic and confusion when faced with something beyond their control.

"Tut-tut..."

Yu Xiaolian barely finished her ’tut-tut’ sound when she heard Zhao Zhiyun calling her name.

Zhao Zhiyun used plum blossoms as a theme, inviting everyone present to compose a poem on the spot.

Yu Xiaolian glanced at the paper, ink, brush, and inkstone on the table, as well as the exquisite pastries, decisively grabbing a piece and putting it into her mouth.

Everyone: "..."

Why isn’t Yu Laoshi grinding the ink? Why isn’t she thinking? Why is she eating instead?

"Hey..."

Yu Xiaolian’s back was gently poked by Su Jingchen with a pen.

Yu Xiaolian turned around.

Naturally accepting the ink Su Jingchen had ground, she then handed him her inkstone and ink stick from her table.

Under everyone’s surprised gaze, Yu Xiaolian winked at Su Jingchen; the young man indeed knows how to act!
