After the last incident, I took a few days off from school to calm my emotions.
To prevent this from happening again, Beiqing has been by my side every step of the way.
Ding-dong!
I was sitting on the sofa, helping students revise their papers when the doorbell rang.
I got up and looked through the peephole; it was my teacher.
I quickly opened the door and said, "Teacher, what brings you here?"
"I heard you were sick, so I came to check on you."
My teacher huffed as he placed a large bag at the door.
"You really need to take care of yourself at your age. Aren't you tired carrying all that?"
I said this deliberately, knowing that my teacher's health wasn't great. He had been hospitalized a few years ago due to an illness. I wanted him to stop worrying so much; otherwise, he might jeopardize his health again after finally getting better.
"Hey, you little girl, I'm doing just fine."
I smiled and handed him a pair of slippers.
"I'm not going in. Just seeing that you're okay puts my mind at ease. Your mentor's wife was also worried. She was supposed to come with me, but just as we were about to leave, her school called an emergency meeting, so she couldn't make it.
"Before leaving, she reminded me repeatedly to bring some of her homemade food for you, saying it would help with your recovery."
The teacher stood at the door explaining to me, and there was a hint of jealousy in his tone.
Well, it seems the teacher is unhappy that Mentor's Wife cares about me more than he does.
While we were chatting, Beiqing appeared behind me, seemingly searching for something under the cabinet in the living room.
The teacher's voice suddenly cut off as he leaned over me to look at Beiqing.
Then he gaped in shock at me, his hand pointing back and forth between us.
I knew the teacher misunderstood, so I quickly waved my hands and said, "No, no, it's not what you think. He is my cousin."
Beiqing remained silent, raising his head with his dark eyes fixed on me.
A few minutes later.
"Now tell me, what is going on between you two?"
The teacher, who had initially said he wouldn't enter the room, was now sitting seriously in the center of the sofa.
Beiqing and I sat on either side of him, being interrogated.
I kept my head lowered, like an ostrich.
"Teacher, he really is my cousin..."
As I spoke, my confidence waned, and my voice grew softer.
It's not that I can't lie, but I've never successfully lied in front of the teacher; every time, he ends up chasing me and scolding me, which has left me with a psychological shadow.
"I'm too lazy to deal with you, so don't say anything."
"You should speak," the teacher said, pointing his finger aggressively at Beiqing, who was sitting properly nearby.
Beiqing looked at me, surprised by my cowardice, as if he had never seen me this timid before.
He couldn't help but chuckle and then calmly turned to the teacher.
"Hello, teacher. I am Wuhe's boyfriend, Beiqing."
What??? I quickly raised my head and widened my eyes in shock.
Does this guy even know what he's saying? Whose boyfriend? Who are you to me?
As the person involved, I had no idea about this.
The teacher showed an expression of "I knew it."
"Xiao Bei, although I am Wuhe's mentor, her hometown is far from here. Over the years, both I and her Mentor's Wife have helped her with various matters. You could say we are like her second parents. If what you say is true and you are her boyfriend, then I hope you treat her well.
"Don't think that just because I'm old, I don't have some strong friends. We could easily beat you up if needed, you know?" the teacher threatened.
"Also, I hope you can handle your affairs properly. I don't want our Wuhe to suffer even a little because of you."
After hearing the teacher's blunt words, Beiqing nodded seriously.
"I will."
What is going on! I watched these two men communicate like they were playing charades, feeling frustrated.
"Alright, since that's the case, I won't disturb you any longer. Wuhe, take care of yourself at home and don't worry about school," the teacher said.
"Oh right." The teacher suddenly remembered something, rummaging through his pocket for a while before pulling out a bracelet that looked like it was made of jade.
"I almost forgot the most important thing. Here, this is for you. I sincerely asked a friend for this; it's said to ward off evil spirits. You must wear it; if you don't, I'll be upset with you," the teacher said mysteriously.
I chuckled as I took the bracelet and put it on my wrist.
"I've put it on; you can rest assured."
The teacher smiled and left, looking satisfied.
How strange, I thought as I shook my wrist with the bracelet.
"Wear it; after all, it's the teacher's good intention. It might really ward off evil," Beiqing said, a smile on his face.
"Do you know something?" I squinted at him suspiciously.
He looked innocent and replied, "I was just saying that casually."
I pouted and shot him a glare; this annoying dragon had hardly ever told me the truth.
"Why did you say I'm your boyfriend?"
"If I didn't say that, would your teacher believe me?" he answered naturally, not admitting that he had some ulterior motives.
He turned around and walked towards the sofa. As I watched his back, something suddenly came to my mind.
"Your Highness."
"Mm?"
The air instantly became tense.
Having succeeded in my scheme, I smiled bitterly and said, "Be honest, what is your relationship with that person from that night?"
Realizing he had fallen into my trap, he turned to look at me intently. After a long moment, he sighed softly and said, "There are many things you are better off not knowing. Just know that no matter what, I will never hurt you."
Hearing him say this, I furrowed my brows, increasingly feeling that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
I didn't know why, but suddenly I blurted out, "Beiqing, do you like me?"
