Chapter Seventy: Solitude in Guiding One's Homework

  Even cold air cannot invade the noble young masters and ladies, who study in a warm environment without getting sick or catching a cold, and their efficiency has also increased significantly, however...

  Achoo! Achoo! Bang! A head hit the table with a crisp sound, drawing everyone's attention.

  Xiao Wei covered her forehead, feeling quite helpless and burying her face in embarrassment, not wanting to be seen by others. Although she had endured it strongly, unfortunately, it still burst out, and surprisingly, she even bumped her forehead, what a loss of face.

  "Xiao Wei, are you okay? Is your head okay?" The teacher asked with concern, but from the side came a cold and detached response: "If you're not feeling well, go to the infirmary to get checked out. If you infect everyone else, it won't be good."

  "Sorry, I'll go to the infirmary later." Xiaowei touched her face, feeling a bit feverish, guessing that it was because the school was too warm and her own room was cooler, which gave her a cold.

  "Go now, you're already spreading the virus." Xiu Ye Chen said unexpectedly.

  Xiao Wei looked up in surprise and saw Young Master propping his head to read a book, with a slight frown between his eyebrows. Was he dissatisfied with her?

  "I'm sorry, but... teacher, may I..."

  "Just go home, what's the point of going to the infirmary?" Suddenly, Yin Tongye spoke up with a mischievous glint in her eye, and when that pig-headed person turned around to look at her, she raised an eyebrow and smiled smugly, continuing, "Xiu Ye Chen, just let her go back, it's better than spreading the virus here anyway."

  Hearing this, Xiaowei suddenly became anxious: "No way, I just had one class, and there are still so many classes left. If I don't attend..."

  "Go back and let Xiǎo Huì Chén tell you, isn't he a genius? Isn't he very impressive? He doesn't even need to listen carefully in class, just glance at the book and can get high scores. With him as your teacher, what are you worried about?"

  Yin Tengye raised his face, his eyes moving back and forth, making eye contact with Xiao Wei. Xiao Wei saw him raising an eyebrow and seemed to understand something, but as soon as she thought about letting the young master teach her lessons, she felt discouraged and shook her head.

  "How can I let Master give me lessons? This won't do." Little Wei turned her gaze back, not wanting to let Yin Tengye continue speaking. They had clearly agreed not to let him help anymore, so why was he still being so enthusiastic.

  Yin Tengye received her gaze, nodded, and smiled: "Xiu Xianchen, you shouldn't be so petty, just because she's a maid, you're not willing to lower your status, but after all, she's also our classmate, shouldn't classmates help each other?"

  "Since classmates help each other out, why don't you, Young Master Yin, go and help her then?" Yanlin chimed in, with a deeply meaningful smile.

  Yin Teng Ye glanced at Lin Huan and knew what she meant, so he nodded generously: "Okay, it's only right that classmates help each other. If Xiū Wèi Chén doesn't want to, I don't mind tutoring her instead. What do you think, classmate?"

  She threw the question to Xiaowei, who was momentarily stunned and didn't know what to say. She looked at Xiuzhuo Chen with her mouth agape, then turned to Yinfeng Ye and shook her head: "Don't bother Young Master and Mr. Yin, that..."

  "Miss Yu Zhen, can I borrow your notes tomorrow?"

  Yu Zhen nodded slowly twice, indicating that it was okay. Xiang Wei happily said: "Thank you! With Miss Yu Zhen's notes, I'll be fine. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask the teacher. So I'll head back first to avoid infecting everyone."

  Xiu Ye Chen didn't raise his head, only lightly humming a sound, his expressionless face with a hint of coldness couldn't reveal any emotions.

  "Teacher, I'll go fill out the leave form later, see you!" With a slight bow, Xiaowei grabbed her backpack and ran out of the classroom in small steps. As soon as she left the classroom, the cold air made her nose itch again, and she let out a series of sneezes. Helpless, she quickened her pace to a run.

  Back in her own little hut, after taking the medicine given by her mother, sitting at her desk, Xiaowei sighed as she looked at her book. The final exams were approaching, and her courses had just caught up, but now they were about to fall behind again. What if she couldn't pass the passing score?

  Troubled, she stared at the book with both eyes, but it became increasingly blurred. Unbeknownst to her, she fell asleep on the table.

  "Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei, wake up. The mistress is calling you." Zhu Shu gently shook the sleeping Xiao Wei.

  She rubbed her eyes dazedly, saw herself sleeping on the bed, and immediately jumped up to look at the clock. It was already past 7 pm.

  "How did I sleep for so long? Mom, why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Little Wei hastily got up to change her clothes, but was stopped.

  "You're not feeling well today, just sleep a bit more, it's okay, no need to change clothes, the lady is calling you, go quickly."

  "Madam? Is she in her room?" Little Wei asked doubtfully. Seeing the old mother nod, she quickly set off and rushed upstairs.

  Knock, knock, knock - "Madam, may I come in?" she asked politely, and upon receiving a response, Xiaowei slowly pushed the door open. At a glance, she saw the young master standing beside Madam. It turned out that the young master was also there.

  "Xiao Wei, are you feeling better? What happened that made you sick? Come here." Ji Fu gently beckoned her to come over.

  Xiao Wei nodded and walked over slowly, saying: "Madam, I just have a cold, it's not that serious, thank you for your concern."

  "A cold can become a serious illness if not taken care of, so I told you to come back and rest early today, and you won't be able to attend the remaining classes. I heard that you're worried about falling behind in your studies and didn't want to come back and rest. Xiaowei, I know you love learning, but your body is the most important thing. If you're afraid of falling behind, just ask me anything you don't understand, and I'll teach you. Besides, he's not studying when he gets back home anyway."

  "Let Master teach me?" Xiao Wei looked at Xiuyan Chen in surprise, seeing his cold expression, not looking very pleased, and lowered her head dejectedly: "Master must have a lot of things to do, no time to teach me, and how can I bear to let Master condescend to me?"

  "You're all classmates now, and it's normal for classmates to help each other out. Yu Chen, just lend a hand to Xiao Wei in her studies, got it?"

  "Yes, I know." Xiu Ye Chen nodded without refusing.

  Xiao Wei was slightly surprised, not expecting the young master to agree. Following the young master out of Madame's room, she quietly walked behind him until they stopped in front of his door.

  "Go get the book for me." Xiu Ye Chen's tone was very calm, not very enthusiastic, but also didn't have any hint of disgust or dislike.

  "Bring it up?"

  "You want me to go to your room?"

  "Oh no, not that. I'll go get the book." Flustered and unsure which way to go downstairs, Xiaowei hastily ran back to her room to grab the book and rushed back to the door, taking a deep breath before knocking: "Young Master, may I come in?"

  "Ah, come in."
