Chapter 4

Shaoling glanced over inadvertently, and Ji Moran indeed had a fleeting acquaintance with him, still the radiant and graceful young gentleman. ... Then looking at the ugly woman Su Youqing mentioned by Nuange ... . ... Yet, it was a refreshing sight before his eyes

By noon on the second day, Nuan Ge had already taken Shao Ling to a window seat on the second floor of Wangyue Tower

Nuan Ge's thoughts were not on Shaoling, so she naturally did not notice his small lapse in demeanor. Seeing him nod, she continued to teach with satisfaction: "First, in a moment, you will see two people, a very handsome young man named Ji Mo Ran, and a very ugly girl named Su You Qing."

Upon returning to the academy, Nuan Ge headed straight for Songshi Studio, where Shaoling was indeed still present

Hmm. Shaoling nodded seriously

"Hmm, very clever," Nuan Ge clapped and laughed. "After they go upstairs, I will invite them over to introduce them, and then you just stand up, clasp your fists and say, 'So it is Senior Brother Ji, I have long admired your name.' But you must not pay any attention to the ugly girl Su Youqing."

"It is settled then, tomorrow at noon!" Nuan Ge decisively confirmed the appointment, completely unaware of the fleeting smile that passed across Shaoling's face.

Warm Song was quite satisfied, as Shaoling had repeated her words verbatim. He then continued, "Today, I am acting on my sister's orders to host Young Master Cheng for a small drink. You and Senior Brother Ji can make yourselves comfortable. I apologize for not being able to join you, haha."

"Shaoling, the Master will teach you a few words. In a moment, you will recite them in order, and do not speak of anything else, understood?" Nuan Ge suddenly turned around and gazed at Shaoling.

The smile of Nuan Ge has not changed at all; instead, it has added a touch of shyness. Her eyes, sparkling and full of life, gaze at Shaoling. Shaoling feels a chill in his heart as he is looked at by her, and his scalp begins to tingle.

"I might not be able to tonight, as I still have some books and accounts that I haven't finished reading. How about tomorrow?" Ji Moran's voice was gentle and warm, accompanied by the crisp sound of an abacus.

Shaoling remained silent, but curiosity drove him to continue studying this booklet, which was indeed peculiar. How was it written? It was all convoluted and twisted... a, b, c, d, e, f...

Uncle Zhong wore a knowing smile on his face

Oh, duck

Warm Song squinted her eyes slightly and turned to leave, which usually indicated that she had made up her mind.

Miss Ke Su clearly stated that you are doing this for your cousin, and your cousin is doing this for Young Master Ji..." The Thirteenth Aunt's words were interrupted halfway when the Eighth Aunt tugged at her, leaving her in a state of hesitation, wanting to speak yet holding back.

Oh, warm song, is it a young gentleman who saved you? Where is your residence? Are your parents still alive?

Cousin, how about we go to Wangyue Tower tonight to eat ginger duck shreds

Cousin, cousin, calling you all day long feels so intimate, yet we are distant relatives, how ridiculous! A young lady should not be running around outside all day instead of staying in her chamber, it is truly inappropriate! Warm Song quickly dodged and hid beside the main door to eavesdrop

Warm songs ignited a surge of wicked fire in her mind, yet she had to suppress it, smiling even more sweetly, "Ladies, I accidentally fell into the water, it was an accident!"

Ah, have you recovered? That was quick. Su Youqing is best at bringing up topics that are best left untouched, especially when it comes to Xiao Rou or Nuan Ge.

As they were speaking, a carriage indeed approached on the official road outside the building. Nuan Ge, with her keen eyes, recognized that the totem carved on the carriage should belong to the Ji family. She hurriedly adjusted the hairpin in her hair, deliberately deepening the smile on her cheeks, while her gaze was fixed on the staircase entrance. Before long, two individuals came up, one after the other.

However, it must be acknowledged that when the warm song is quiet, it possesses a certain allure... just a little... that draws attention. She deliberately dressed up, wearing a light pink embroidered dress, wrapped in a snow-white shawl, with the collar and cuffs adorned with a circle of beads, which further accentuated her delicate pink cheeks. Her hair was styled in a playful manner, with the back left long down to her waist, cascading like a waterfall.

Hmm, don't say too much, I worry you won't remember. If you help me this time, I'll exempt you from a day's worth of tuition!" Nuan Ge let out a sigh of relief, her face brightening with joy as she looked at Shao Ling, who appeared particularly handsome and pleasing to the eye. In fact, he looks quite good even when he is not speaking, oh ho ho ho ho!

Persia ... ... so far away ... ... '' Uncle Zhong gazed at the sky

"Shaoling, would you like to eat ginger duck shreds?" Nuan Ge asked with a charming smile

The injury is not serious, and this is largely thanks to Young Master Cheng. He is skilled and courageous, and he saved me. Speaking of which, this is truly fate; it turns out that Young Master Cheng and my sister have known each other for a long time, and... hehehe. Nuan Ge displayed the demeanor of a refined young lady, her increasingly delicate voice accompanying her as she glanced at Shaoling. Instinctively, Shaoling stood up and completely followed Nuan Ge's instruction, saying, "So it is Senior Brother Ji, I have long admired your name."

Shaoling also began to laugh along with her

This ... ... is probably inconvenient said Nuan Ge

Immediately after, I will find a way to have them sit with us, and then I will ask you in a very intimate manner, 'Brother Shaoling, my sister is too busy, let me treat you well, what do you like to eat?' You will just reply, 'I like to eat duck,' so it appears that my sister is very familiar with you, do you understand

After leaving the academy, Nuan Ge headed straight to the store of the Ji family’s ink workshop. Usually, at this time, Mo Ran and Tu Shu would be there. However, the journey was anything but peaceful. Especially when passing by the teahouses and cosmetics shops run by the four, eight, and thirteen aunts, the aunts were overly excited upon seeing Nuan Ge from a distance, all rushing over to surround her with questions.

Oh, perennial

Yet there exists an eternal truth in this world: the more one dislikes someone, the more frequently one encounters them

Ji Moran and Su Youqing were truly taken aback. Especially Ji Moran, whose expression revealed a hint of surprise, particularly when she saw Cheng Shaoling, her eyes reflected a greater sense of confusion and curiosity.

If Su Youqing is considered an ugly woman, then it is likely that there are not many beautiful women in the entire Tianqi. Shaoling understood this in his heart and found the warm song even more amusing

Ji Mo Ran smiled noncommittally, yet did not get up to leave. Su Youqing's expression began to stiffen as she unwillingly gazed at the elegant Shaoling standing there. She thought to herself how lucky that girl Nuan Ge was, being saved by such a young gentleman. From the implication in her words, could it be that this gentleman still had some feelings for the detestable Shi Xiaorou? The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, so she tugged at Ji Mo Ran's sleeve and said, "Cousin, since it is such a rare opportunity to meet Nuan Ge, why don't we sit together?"

Oh, Ji Moran, Su Youqing

For Nuan Ge, the person she dislikes the most is probably Su Youqing. This individual also studied at Lei Xiaojun's private school when they were young, and at that time, when Nuan Ge played the role of a crow, Su Youqing's laughter was the loudest. They were already enemies in their childhood, and as they grew older, it only intensified. In fact, Nuan Ge understands that Su Youqing also has feelings for Ji Moran. This is unacceptable

If I had known she wasn't so kind as to invite herself to eat ginger duck, I would have thought it amusing. However, considering my identity as her "student," I couldn't expose her, so I just sat there in silence.

Shaoling was originally focused on the warm song, but instead, he was caught off guard by her gaze. However, the reflexes he had honed over the years allowed him to quickly regain his composure. He smiled and nodded, revealing a slight dimple at the corner of his lips

"Where are you going? The duck shreds are really quite good. Tomorrow, the master will treat you to a meal?" Nuange's smile became even more radiant

Warm songs brought great joy to her heart, yet she feigned displeasure on her face, appearing to agree only with great reluctance

In fact, Nuan Ge is not the kind of person who takes money without working; it is just that there are more important matters now than teaching Shaoling: finding Ji Moran

Warm Song, please go back and persuade Xiao Rou, what is meant for her will be hers, and what is not meant for her will not be hers

and paid no attention to Su Youqing

Although it is early spring, the sunlight is quite pleasant, warming the surroundings. The location of the warm song is also good, with a broad view. Cheng Shaoling took a sip of tea and casually glanced at the warm song who was staring out the window at the official road below; this girl has two words written all over her face: waiting for someone

Young master, has that item been given to Miss Nuan Ge?

Oh, regular customer," Shaoling repeated

That booklet is quite peculiar; the first half contains not a single word, but rather some strange symbols. Uncle Zhong, of course, does not recognize them, and curiously asks, "Young Master, is this a celestial script?"

"Cousin." Ji Mo Ran said in a low voice, feigning annoyance

Cousin risked her life for him, he must not escape punishment, absolutely not

Why should I give it to her? That medicine was brought by me for my own use. I also have a bee sting wound on my right hand

Not going

Is there anything inconvenient, even if it is something that Xiao Rou wouldn't mind?" Su Youqing was verbally seeking consent, but in reality, she had already made up her mind not to leave

Warm Song nodded in satisfaction and continued teaching: "www.hetushu.com. Then I took over the conversation to praise you, saying that you are well-informed and have traveled extensively, always expanding the family business. Then you proudly said, 'Yes, for many years.'"

He actually agreed! Warm Song's eyes sparkled with anger, his teeth itching. Listening to the tone in Ji Mo Ran's words, it was clear he didn't take his cousin's leap off the cliff seriously at all, and he was actually sitting here looking at the accounts! Well! It seems that without administering some strong medicine, he won't know the pain of the heart.

"If you don't teach me, you won't earn any silver." The content of Shaoling's words points directly to the depths of Nuan Ge's heart

Ah, Senior Brother Ji! The performance in the warm song was quite good; the expression on your face perfectly conveyed the surprise of an unexpected encounter, and the tone was also just right

Nuan Ge's expression changed, "If you don't eat, the Master will no longer teach."

Before the warm song's performer even stepped into the Ji Mansion's ink shop, they could already hear Su Youqing's exceedingly annoying laughter

Hmph

Ji Mo Ran, just wait and see

Shaoling furrowed his brow, "What that girl left behind is quite strange, could it be in Persian?"

Of course, when has the Master ever deceived you

Shaoling deliberately contemplates the situation

Shaoling shook his head, "I do not wish to."

Su Youqing, it is indeed Su Youqing! Nuan Ge sighed deeply, realizing that it was indeed her who leaked the secret, fearing that the world would be thrown into chaos.

Uncle Zhong had been waiting outside, and when he saw Nuan Ge leave, he entered the study. He found his young master Shaoling still sitting dazedly behind the desk, holding a booklet, with an indescribably strange expression on his face

Then, based on Ji Moran's personality, I guess he will definitely ask you, "Since you are attending the business school, your family must be in business as well, right? Is the business doing well?" And you would respond, "It's okay, mostly regular customers"

Warm songs and deep breaths, "The Master teaches you not for money, The Master invites you to dinner also for your own good, Eating ginger duck will make you smarter!"

Warm song, have you recovered well?
