VOLUME 7 CHAPTER 20: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS THE DECISION TO LEAVE OR STAY (4)

Liu Bei POV

Before I entered the residence, I made sure to inspect how I looked, and cleared my throat before spitting out my phlegm before I entered.

It’s now my 3rd time entering her residence. There wasn’t much nice that happened the previous 2 times. I had to deal with the awkward matter of the family seal in the 1st visit while I had to deal with an imperiled Bo Fu in the 2nd visit. The atmosphere was now rather light but I was still rather traumatised from my past experiences.

This can’t be helped. But it’s a good thing that the only matter at hand for my visit is good thing or I would be very unwilling to come here.

Bo Fu is awake. It’s good that she is. I repeated these words over and over inside my heart to calm my emotions down as I hastened my footsteps.

All of a sudden, that small but mature figure appeared in my mind, and I stopped walking as I feared that she would say that I was rude in some way or another.

“Who else is present in the residence today?” I better ask first to make sure I’m ready.

“Ah, all the retainers have already come here once. They cried and made a big fuss for a long while but I think they’ve just left.”

“Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhang Zhao and the rest?” I didn’t dare to address only Zhang Zhao as it would look like I was pinpointing her.

“Ah, they went to help me settle doc.u.ments.” As she said so, Sun Quan looked embarra.s.sed as she stuck her tongue out and scratched the back of her head, “To be honest, I’m not too good at settling doc.u.ments.”

“Haha, so am I.” I smiled at her as I replied and nodded.

“I haven’t been listening to Gong You during her lessons lately and all I know is where to write ‘Approved’.”

That’s what I said but honestly, I don’t even remember that sometimes.

“Heh~ So Imperial Uncle isn’t much better than me huh!” Sun Quan ignored my feelings and exclaimed as she spread her arms open.

“Wu…” For some reason, these words. .h.i.t me harder than it would have been from anyone else. I was just complementing you…

I turned away and feigned nonchalance as I looked about so that she couldn’t see my hurt expression.

“But no matter how hard I work, my teachers are never satisfied.”

“Un? Why is that?” I blurted out when I felt Sun Quan’s mood take a nosedive.

“My 3 teachers are all very weird, and the tasks they set me are very odd too.”

Why does it feel like everyone’s descriptions of the Eastern Wu generals and officials all make them sound very weird?

“What tasks have they given you?” I asked as I thought back to my own tasks.
