Peace at Guang Sha Study

The next morning, Gu ShuBai personally sent Yu Fu to the school .

“Eldest brother, you still have other things to take care of, right? There’s no need to send me . It’s fine if fourth brother and them accompany me . ”

On the path to Guang Sha Study, the trees were thick, and the morning fog was cool .

Gu WenQing’s group of three walked at the front . For the sake of matching Yu Fu’s little steps, Gu ShuBai slowly walked with her in the back .

“Aren’t you afraid of Teacher Lin? If I accompany you, won’t you feel less afraid?”

Yu Fu held his hand . His hands were large enough to hold her entire hand in just his palm .

His curled fingers were long, elegant, and fair with clean and tidy fingernails . Each joint had a distinct outline, and his hands were filled with a reassuring strength .

Her worries were reduced by quite a bit; however, her heart had begun to beat a little bit faster .

In this sort of quiet path in the middle of a forest, Gu ShuBai could clearly hear even the sound of leaves falling . He would definitely be able to hear the sound of her heart beating .

With a bit of a guilty conscience, Yu Fu raised her head, her eyes following the pale-blue robes up . His skin was fair as always as his jaw slightly dropped, and his eyes conveyed a smile while twinkling like stars .

“Are you still scared?”

“N-no . ”

Yu Fu hastily said: “If Teacher Lin really is angry, I will just apologize to him . If he doesn’t accept it, it’s fine if I just continue learning with Teacher Zhou . Teacher Zhou is Teacher Lin’s disciple . It’s natural that he won’t be much worse, and he has a gentle temper . ”

Her words were reasonable and calm . It was clear that she had prepared herself .

Gu ShuBai gently smiled, his eyes becoming gentler . They were even calmer than they had been earlier in the morning .

“To know of Teacher Zhou’s good points at such a young age is really quite impressive . Back when Gu Xiang and Gu Yi just started attending school, they always looked down on Teacher Zhou for teaching the younger students . You are far sharper than them, not paying any heed to vanity or glory . ”

Yu Fu already disliked it when others said that she was young, but she especially did not want him to think of her as being too much younger than him .

She unwittingly began to walk on her tippy toes and straightened her back, saying: “Even though I am only twelve years old, I am more mature than other twelve-year-olds, isn’t that right?”

Gu ShuBai watched her little head gradually get higher and higher .

Though it was just a little bit, she began to sway slightly .

Today, Lian Zhu had tied her hair up into two little buns . The looks were secondary, while the security was the most important part .

The small silver lilac pins in her hair did not sway and were merely decorations . Even if they were accidentally knocked out, it would not affect her hair unlike what had happened the previous time .

He reached out a hand to feel her hair as if thinking about something .

Not hearing a response for a long time, Yu Fu became anxious and asked once more, “Eldest brother, isn’t that right?”

“Su… Sure . ”

There were times when he felt that she was unreasonably childish, and there were also times when he felt that she was exceptionally thorough and considerate, unlike a twelve-year-old child .

It might be that this was just how girls were . They were different from boys .

On this point, Gu ShuBai felt that he needed to think about things a little more .

“But…”

“But what?”

He slightly raised his eyebrow, “But when Gu Xiang and Gu Yi were young, they would also like to say that they were more mature than others their age . It seems that regardless of whether it’s boys or girls, that’s a common occurrence for all children . ”

Yu Fu was dazed then angrily puffed up her cheeks in and snorted at him .

“I am not a little child!”

When they arrived outside Guang Sha Study, Yu Fu brushed her hair and asked Gu ShuBai: “Eldest brother, my hair isn’t messy, right?”

Gu ShuBai was about to take her to see Lin FengMiao . She needed to pay close attention to her appearance .

“It’s not at all messy . It’s extremely nice . ”

But he really wanted to reach out and mess it up . What sort of mentality was this?

As usual, Lin FengMiao was stretching in the wing of the backyard . The white-haired old man stretched his body without any haste . It seemed to have a unique style .

With a sweeping gaze, he saw Gu ShuBai and instantly began to smile . The wrinkles on his face resembled a blooming golden chrysanthemum .

“ShuBai, why have you come back today?”

Comparing the look in Lin FengMiao’s eyes when he saw Gu ShuBai to when he saw Gu WenQing, Yu Fu finally realized that his favorite pupil was definitely not Gu WenQing . It was Gu ShuBai .

Seeing that he was leading Yu Fu by the hand, Lin FengMiao’s look of joy dissipated just a little .

“Student greets Teacher Lin . ”

Yu Fu walked out and respectfully performed a greeting . There was none of the innocence or shamelessness that she displayed in front of Gu ShuBai .

Catching her off guard, Teacher Lin also smiled at her .

“ShuBai, are you worried that this old man will bully this little sister, thus you personally brought her to the study?”

Gu ShuBai saw his expression and came to an understanding, saying with a smile: “How could that be . Teacher is a talented scholar who has taught all kinds of students and thus can teach to a student’s level . But Yu Fu feels that her initial appearance stirred up some trouble and feared that Teacher would be unhappy, thus she had me come with her to apologize . ”

“Hah, it’s not like that . ”

Lin FengMiao waved his hand, turning around and retrieving two pieces of paper . On them were the girl’s elegant writing .

The penmanship was orderly while the characters were unrestrained . The style was also more refined than that of a hermit . If it was not for the slight immaturity, it would definitely be considered exceptionally beautiful handwriting .

“This is…”

“This is what Yu Fu wrote yesterday . Teacher Zhou gave it to me last night . He also told me about Yu Fu’s understanding of the words Guang Sha . Yu Fu, can you recite it for us again?”

After saying this, he handed the paper to Gu ShuBai then placed his hands behind his back and slightly leaned over to smile at Yu Fu .

Yu Fu nodded and recounted what she had told Zhou SiDao, providing her understanding of Guang Sha Study .

Gu ShuBai looked at the words on the two pieces of paper, and the corners of his lips slowly crept up . There seemed to be a light that burned in his eyes .

“Very well said . Teacher, what do you think?”

He looked toward Teacher Lin, and the latter nodded while brushing his beard .

“To say something offensive, though Gu Xiang and Gu Yi have been studying with me, if this question was asked of them, it’s unlikely that they could provide a more thorough explanation than Yu Fu . I originally thought that Lord Marquis also forgot the goal of the study, actually sending a girl that he is doting on to play at my school, sullying the words ‘Guang Sha’ . ”

“After hearing Yu Fu’s insights, I know that it was my pettiness that misjudged Lord Marquis’ gentlemanly heart . As long as the student is as good a female student as Yu Fu, I will definitely do my all to provide instruction . ”

TN: The title is a reference to the poem tied to the school’s name .
