Chapter 208 - Thrilled, They Got Assaulted by the Stream (1/2)

There were about a dozen of misses in the room and in front of each of them was a Qin. But few of them paid attention to the Qin. Most of them just obsessively looked at Bai Yihao’s charming and attractive face with flushed faces. And several of them looked at his long fingers…

Mo Xuetong looked and saw an empty seat at her left rear. She quietly turned around and sat there.

There was a stove burning in the room, so it was quite warm. There was a thick cotton cus.h.i.+on in front of all of them. In front of the cus.h.i.+on was a Qin, and there was an incense by the side, whose scent spread slowly and smelled refres.h.i.+ng.

Mo Xuetong seated herself on the cotton cus.h.i.+on and impatiently reached out to push the Qin which was too close to her. She couldn’t possibly play in such a close distance. However, of course, most of them didn’t come to learn the Qin.

She suddenly felt someone had noticed her. When she lifted her head, she saw those pure eyes looking at her through the crowd. He tilted his head and seemed to be smiling. It was Bai Yihao who was looking at her with interests. Then she silently held back her hand, dropped her eyelashes and head, and put away all the thoughts in her mind to pretend to be a normal miss. She didn’t want to be noticed and envied by someone!

By the time Bai Yihao finished playing, several misses showed their Qin skills. Even Fifth Princess played a song. All of the pieces sounded melodious. Though she didn’t have Bai Yihao’s techniques, her skills at Qin were pretty good. Thus several misses all complimented them. It was then that Mo Xuetong realized w.a.n.g Xiuxiu was also there.

She was sitting at the main position with Fifth Princess and she was the daughter of Grand Secretariat. She was kind to others and won many people’s favor. When watching other misses’ performances, she whispered and smiled to those around her. And when her eyes met Mo Xuetong’s, she would kindly smile to her as greetings to Mo Xuetong.

Mo Xuetong also responded with a smile as if she didn’t remember she was among those misses who were trying to evade from her by the door of the yard just a moment ago. She was still wearing that light pink dress. Some things were specially intended. However, she just didn’t know one thing. She was just a daughter of a third-grade official, but why did the Grand Secretariat’s daughter pay so much attention to her so as to especially make a flower hairpin? Then, the Grand Secretariat’s daughter asked Mo Xuetong’s cousin to bring Mo Xuetong to their gathering.

Mo Xuetong stood up when another miss proudly flaunted her skills. She was the closest to the door and wouldn’t catch anyone’s attention if she quietly left. Everyone’s focus was on Bai Yihao, and no one would notice that someone was missing. Since she was here and listened to the Qin, she had obeyed her father’s words. She felt it unnecessary to stay here anymore.

Among such a big group of misses, only a few of them really wanted to learn the Qin. She didn’t want to learn the Qin or be obsessed with Bai Yihao like them. Therefore, she was really not interested in this lecture. Now that she was out on such a fine day, it would be depressing to waste it here.

Qinglin Academy could live up to its name as a famous academy. In the crooked corridors were cla.s.srooms. Mo Xuetong was bored and looked at them along the way. The school hadn’t started so there was no one else in the academy. It felt kind of peaceful to step on the leaves on the ground.

Out of some interests, she breathed in cold air and a smile appeared by her lips. When there was no one framing her, even the air was free.

Mo Lan made a big fuss. “Miss, you see, there are some fish here and they are colorful.” Mo Xuetong turned around to find the place Mo Lan stood was a quiet stream which was s.h.i.+ning with warm suns.h.i.+ne. She even saw some colorful fishes at the bottom of the stream which were swimming and looked very cute.

Mo Xuetong said smilingly, “Where do the fish come from? They are so beautiful!” She looked over and saw the fish swimming freely. She was envious of them and subconsciously reached out for the fish in the water. However, she didn’t expect the water was icy. When her hand reached in, she couldn’t help uttering. “Ouch” and hurriedly took her hand back.

When she looked again, her white hand was frozen to be completely red.

There came a bright voice. “These are icy fish which are from the coldest place and can swim freely under the ice. But a person’s hands can’t be compared to the icy fish.”

This place was quiet and the sudden voice interrupted the quietness. Mo Xuetong covered her hand with the handkerchief and turned around. Then she saw Bai Yihao coming to her slowly with his hands behind her back. She firstly saw his white robe which was different from others’ wide robes. The sleeves were embroidered with golden dragons, which added honor to his glamor.

His beautiful face, along with his bright dark eyes which flashed, had made himself an attraction like a celestial being or a moon!

No matter where he was, Bai Yihao was always a spokesperson for elegance and beauty. Though he was a bit casual, no one could ignore his presence.

Only Feng Yuran’s wicked charm could compare to this glamor!

Mo Xuetong thought with hostility how he could be here. Surrounded by so many beauties, he managed to get out, which required determination.

Mo Xuetong rarely asked disrespectfully, “Why isn’t Sir Bai teaching Qin at the room, but has come to this quiet place!” Her voice sounded a little capricious and defiant. It wasn’t in the room and she wasn’t indecently dressed. So she didn’t have to agree to everything he said.

Bai Yihao had great demeanor. He raised his lips and rolled his eyes, which seemed very appealing, “The teaching of Qin only needs one performance, and the rest of learning depends on the students themselves. If I have to teach everything by myself, I’ll be exhausted.”

Mo Xuetong lifted her head and shook her head. She looked at Bai Yihao with regrets and said, “Just one performance. The teacher is so lazy, then how can the students finish the learning! It seems that it’s impossible to learn the Qin.”
