Chapter 128 - Shameless
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
It was Professor Zhou.
The old man looked refreshed. He didn’t look like the decadent person that outsiders thought he was, or like someone who couldn’t protect himself.
In Qin Yiyi’s opinion, even Teacher Lu was worried about his teacher for nothing!
However, Qin Yiyi glanced at him and her heart skipped a beat.
The old man looked unaffected on the surface.
But in reality…
How could he not care at all?
She pursed her lower lip and glanced at Professor Zhou, nodding her head gently.
“Elder Zhou.”
She was really not interested in acknowledging him as a teacher.
However..
Through these two encounters, Qin Yiyi realized that this old man and that disciple surnamed Lu that he had accepted were both good.
Their characters were also pretty good!
Besides, she didn’t really hate this old man.
Of course, she didn’t hate him, but she had to be careful when it came to taking him as her teacher!
“Calling me Old Zhou? Call me teacher.”
Professor Zhou looked at Qin Yiyi as if he was very familiar with her. He looked at Qin Yiyi up and down happily.
His eyes were filled with kindness.
“You’ve grown taller and prettier. I said before that my disciple is the best, even when it comes to her looks.”
Qin Yiyi, “…”
On the other side, Teacher Zhu’s face had already darkened when she realized that Professor Zhou was coming over.
When she heard the conversation between the two of them, her brows were tightly knitted into a deep frown.
“So, you’ve chosen this person long ago? I’ll see how you’ll regret it when the time comes. Don’t come back and beg me again!”
After saying that, she didn’t even look at Professor Zhou and Qin Yiyi.
She left.
Qin Yiyi raised her eyebrows and laughed softly behind her,
“Teacher Zhu, you are a teacher. You didn’t even greet an elder. Is this your teacher’s morality?”
The person in front walked away without turning back.
Professor Zhou looked at Qin Yiyi and shook his head. His voice sounded a little bleak.
“Why do you have to fight with her?”
Qin Yiyi tilted her head and looked at the old man in amusement. Her voice was indifferent.
“Just now, you said that I should anger her to death and that you would support me.”
“That was just now.”
Old Man Zhou said confidently, “You can’t undermine your own family in front of outsiders. I will definitely support you. Now that she has left, I naturally have to talk about you.” The old man raised his hand and pointed at Qin Yiyi, his tone was a little dissatisfied. “How old are you? You’re just a little girl and a student. With such good talent, what conflict do you think you have with her?”
“Even if you want to reject her, can’t you be more indirect and tactful?”
Qin Yiyi rolled her eyes at him.
“Come on. Do you think that with the temper of that person just now, as long as I reject her, even if I say flowerery words, she won’t end up hating me?”
“She won’t argue with me about this matter?”
Old Professor Zhou,”…”
“In addition, Teacher Lu came over earlier, and now you are here to stand up for me personally.”
“It would be weird if she didn’t put me as someone on your side.”
Qin Yiyi’s words really made old professor Zhou feel a little guilty.
“It’s all my fault. I was afraid that you would be at a disadvantage, so I came over to remind you. I didn’t expect to see her bullying someone from afar…”
Qin Yiyi couldn’t help but laugh.
“You’re thinking too much. She and I are destined not to be together.”
There was only one person. If she offended her, so be it.
She didn’t care if there were a few more!
In a Chinese teahouse.
Someone’s singing could be heard on the specially empty stage.
The people around them either lowered their heads to drink tea or whispered to each other, but Qin Yiyi listened with relish.
This made Professor Zhou, who was sitting beside her, curious.
“You actually like this?”
“I like everything.”
After staying in the alternate dimension for so many years, she had returned to this world once again.
She really felt happy and cordial about everything!
“Then, as your teacher, I’ll give you a few original CDs some other day. Oh right, I have a good gramophone over there. I’ll give you one too.”
Qin Yiyi looked at Professor Zhou with a faint smile.
“Give it to me? Will you be sad that you won’t be able sleep at night?”
“How is that possible? I’ll give it to you when I say so.”
After a pause, Professor Zhou added, “I’ll definitely give it to you!”
Qin Yiyi smiled and shook her head. “I have a gramophone. If you have any good CDs, I’ll accept them without hesitation.”
“Okay, I’ll have Xiao Lu send it to you later.”
He suddenly remembered something.
“Xiao Lu is that idiot who came to look for you. You should call him senior brother.”
Qin Yiyi rubbed her eyebrows and looked at elder Zhou seriously,
“Actually, I really don’t have the intention to be a disciple. Besides, I don’t have the time to learn these things…”
The master that she had been calling out to for so many years in her memory.
That old man had dissipated into the world in order to save her in the end…
She didn’t want someone else to replace him.
At least, not now!
Elder Zhou frowned and looked at Qin Yiyi suspiciously.
Just now, how could he see a hint of loneliness and sadness on this girl?
But in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have disappeared again.
He must have seen wrongly!
It must be because the song that was just performed on the stage was too sorrowful that it made him have an illusion.
It must be so!
He did not think any further and just looked at Qin Yiyi, “Don’t worry, this teacher of yours likes to raise his disciples without permission the most. It’s fine if you don’t come to class. However, back then, your stupid senior brother handed in his homework once a week. You are still a student and you have to prepare for the college entrance examination. Moreover, your talent is much better than your stupid senior brother’s. How about this? You hand in your homework once every half a month and draw something casually. Let’s just make a show. Little girl, what do you think?”
Professor Zhou sighed deeply as he said this. His face was suddenly filled with self-pity.
“It’s true that you don’t want to acknowledge me as your teacher. I was so angry with that Zhu person that I forgot to tell you about my current situation. However, I think that idiot must have said something to you. You should be able to guess some of it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent me such a message. I say, little girl, if you are really afraid of trouble and are afraid of dragging down your future because of me, it’s normal that you don’t agree to acknowledge me as your teacher…”
“I really don’t blame you. I don’t blame you.”
“In the future, let’s treat each other like old friends…”
The old man kept glancing at her face when he said these words.
He was trying to test her mind.
Maybe Qin Yiyi would really believe him!
She snorted and glanced at Elder Zhou with a half-smile. She nodded her head casually and said, “Okay, then we’ll do as you say. In the future, we’ll just forget…”
“I know that you’ll be my last disciple in the future. You can hand in your homework if you want to. If you don’t want to hand it in, then you don’t have to hand it in!”
As long as he could lure such a good seedling into his hands.
At most, he wouldn’t give out homework!
Well, didn’t the little girl say that she was a student now and that she had to prepare for the college entrance examination?
Then he would wait until the little girl was in university before giving her systematic training. When that time came, with him around, would he still be afraid that the little girl would not be able to master her drawing skills?!
In his joy, the old man slammed the table and directly shouted at the top of his voice.
“I’m happy that I’ve accepted a good disciple today. I’ll pay for everyone’s tea.”
Those who knew Old Professor Zhou could not help but tease him.
“Old Zhou, you’re so generous today. Yo, where did you get this little girl?”
“Little girl, you should think about it. Your teacher is a stingy person, he…”
“Hey, Old Zhao, if you continue to spout nonsense, I’ll be anxious with you.”
This was his disciple that he had begged to the death!
Moreover, the little girl hadn’t said anything yet. He also wanted to use this trick to make the little girl unable to refute and directly become his disciple.
After hearing what he said, what if the little girl backed out again and ran away?
He was already a person who had half a foot in the grave.
Would it be easy for him to find a disciple who was pleasing to the eye and had spirituality?!
“Haha, it’s rare to see you so anxious. I’m afraid this little girl has really caught old Zhou’s eye. Don’t tease him anymore.”
Another old man with a kind smile shook his head with a smile. Then, he looked at Qin Yiyi and nodded.
“Her eyes are clear, her expression is calm, and her posture is upright. She is a good child.”
Then, he beckoned at Qin Yiyi.
“Little girl, come here.”
Before Qin Yiyi could say anything, Old Professor Zhou had gotten a little anxious.
“Hey, what are you doing? This is my disciple. None of you can compete with me.”
Who would compete with him and who would be anxious!
These words caused the few old men present to be secretly surprised.
They sized up Qin Yiyi again and could not help but look at each other.
Old Zhou… why did he think so highly of this little girl?!
“What else can I do? At the very least, I can be considered her martial uncle. So what? Can’t I give a welcome gift to martial niece?”
The old man looked at Old Zhou with a somewhat amused expression.
“What, are you still afraid that I’ll snatch your disciple?”
“Don’t worry, this is your precious thing, I won’t snatch it.”
Sometime in the near future…
Old Man Zhou would put his hands on his waist with anger.
‘Who was good enough not to snatch people? We agreed that this is my precious thing, and others wouldn’t snatch it from me, didn’t we?!’
He was already so old, but his words were exactly the same as that!
