Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Huo Tingzun gazed at Xiao Bailu’s nervous yet pretended calm little face, reached out, and gently tucked a mischievous curl behind her ear.

Then, he answered her word by word: ”What do I want to do? Of course... as a man, to fulfill the wish you’ve had these past few days.”

After speaking.

He lowered his head and captured her slightly parted cherry lips, caught off guard!

Bamboo courtyard.

Qin Xin had just seen off the completely recovered Seven Immortals.

After closing the courtyard door, she rushed to the window of the main room: ”Master, the fight against Xu Gou is over. This time, he won’t get away with it; his reputation is ruined, he’s lost money, and his medical license has been revoked, I’m very satisfied with this outcome.”

There was a slight rustling behind the pearl curtain, and a man’s voice replied calmly: ”Good.”

Qin Xin, sharp-eyed, saw the man putting away his phone and smiled: ”Master, so you were watching the livestream too, weren’t you?”

Tsk, a man pretending to be aloof, secretly paying attention to the livestream, is just too cute.

Man: ”...”

Qin Xin suddenly thought: ”By the way, Master, isn’t it a coincidence that a law firm filed a public interest lawsuit against Xu Gou? I used to think lawyers were quite ruthless, but this law firm isn’t bad.”

Man: ”...”

Not bad at all, Big Cousin opened that law firm himself, he probably can’t wait to skin Xu Gou alive.

Qin Xin: ”And then there’s Si Moyu, I used to think he was out of his mind to sponsor Xu Gou’s academic research. Didn’t expect him to withdraw his support so decisively today. You say, even a sick man can act with such chivalry and gentleness, shouldn’t I thank him...”

The man immediately interjected: ”You should eat.”

He quickly pushed the already prepared tray in front of Qin Xin.

Inside were three or four exquisite small dishes and a bowl of firewood-flavored cured meat rice, the presentation alone was enough to make one’s heart flutter.

The rich aroma made Qin Xin forget what she was about to say next and she just licked her fingers: ”Master, the dishes you made today, why haven’t I seen them before, are they all for me? Then I’ll start eating, okay?”

Man: ”Hmm. Eat more.”

Watching Qin Xin indulging in his culinary skills.

He squinted slightly.

Si Moyu, haha, go ahead and be chivalrous outside, I don’t care, but gentle with her?

Sorry, you won’t get that chance.

With her stomach full, Qin Xin was handed a cup of freshly brewed strawberry fig tea by the man: ”When do you plan to go back?”

Qin Xin had just taken a sip of the sweet fruit tea and was caught off guard by the question, finding even the fruit in her mouth suddenly not sweet: ”Does Master already want to send me back?”

Man: ”The nightmare disorder has a suitable treatment now, Qingcheng Airport will lift the lockdown soon. And your studies... shouldn’t be delayed.”

He said the last part with some lack of confidence.

With her capabilities, does she even need studies? It’s probably the school that needs her.

Still, knowing it’s just an excuse, he had to seriously carry on saying it.

Qin Xin stayed silent: ”Master, I want to stay with you for two more days.”

It’s not that she doesn’t want to return to the Imperial City, but what will she do when she goes back, and live as whom?

She knows staying in this isolated village is an escape, but if she doesn’t figure out this problem, the road ahead will always be foggy, making it impossible to take a step forward.

The man gazed deeply at her, nodded: ”Alright.”

He too wanted to stay with her like this, without any barriers, any defenses, any misunderstandings, freely.

Yet he was clearly aware that this couldn’t last forever.

He wasn’t forcing her to leave.

But forcing himself, forcing himself to face, to resolve, to confess.
