Ye Xiao entered Su Yun's office and saw that not a single word was spoken by Su Yun. Instead, she simply ignored him, so Ye Xiao went straight to sit on the sofa in the office!
After a while, Su Yun still remained silent!
Ye Xiao couldn't wait any longer because class was about to begin!
"Teacher Su, did you want to see me for something?" Ye Xiao stood up and walked over to Su Yun's desk to speak to her!
However, at this time, Su Yun was looking down, and Ye Xiao was looking down at her from above. Normally, this would have been nothing noteworthy, but it was summer, and young girls tend to wear thinner clothing. Su Yun was no exception, and so, Ye Xiao happened to see a glimpse of two white...!
Slowly Su Yun raised her head, having hesitated for quite some time. She had now made up her mind to have a proper talk with Ye Xiao about the incident during class!
But when she looked up, the expression on Ye Xiao's face was off. He was staring straight at her, and although Su Yun didn't initially understand why, upon thinking about it, she quickly looked down and found that her fair and delicate face was now becoming exceptionally rosy and flushed!
"What are you looking at!" Su Yun, somewhat angry, looked at Ye Xiao and spoke sternly!
Ye Xiao chuckled slyly and replied, "Teacher Su, not everything can be blamed on me. If something is right in front of me, unless I close my eyes, I simply cannot ignore it!"
Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Su Yun felt even more outraged. Last time, Ye Xiao had saved her, and all the issues about climbing over the wall into the house were not brought up. Yet today, he had dared to tease her during the class. Initially, she had intended to give Ye Xiao a lesson in morals to prevent any future misbehavior!
Su Yun immediately stood up and said to Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, don't go too far. Remember, I am your teacher!"
Ye Xiao instantly wore a look of innocence, which was indeed genuine. He never intended to deliberately look at Su Yun's pride, but it was a coincidence of being at the right place at the right time, seeing something inappropriate. It was really an unavoidable situation!
Ye Xiao smiled as he looked at Su Yun, who was visibly annoyed, and said, "Teacher Su, please don't get too worked up. It really wasn't on purpose. If it had been intentional, that day I would have... haha, I am certainly a gentleman of integrity. You should be able to understand that!"
Su Yun, hearing Ye Xiao bringing up that day's event again, felt even more displeased. Such matters were embarrassing enough already, how could he continue mentioning it!
Su Yun immediately walked around the desk directly towards Ye Xiao, but halfway there, unfortunately, she tripped over something under the table, twisted her foot, and stumbled straight towards Ye Xiao!
As a man of integrity, Ye Xiao saw Su Yun in danger, acted swiftly, and managed to catch her in his arms with agility. Nevertheless, Su Yun was still unfortunate enough to have twisted her foot.
Ye Xiao, holding onto Su Yun, attempted to help her up, but as Su Yun tried to apply pressure to her foot, her brow furrowed tightly and she let out a pained moan!
Seeing her reaction, Ye Xiao immediately paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
With her head lowered, Su Yun felt a mix of embarrassment and anger, but the intense pain in her foot left her no choice but to speak up.
"My... my foot might be sprained!" Su Yun told Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao reached out to grab Su Yun's foot.
At that moment, Su Yun's mind was not fully functioning, and she reflexively grabbed Ye Xiao's wrist, looking at him warily and asked, "What... what are you trying to do?"
Ye Xiao looked up at Su Yun and replied, "Teacher Su, do you still want this foot or not? If you do, you'd better stay still!"
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Su Yun immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Is it... really that serious?" Su Yun inquired of Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao nodded.
Su Yun hesitated for a moment, but in order to save her foot, she finally braced herself and let Ye Xiao treat her.
Ye Xiao gently held the front part of Su Yun's foot with his right hand, then gently shook it. With a sudden tug from his right hand, there was a muffled 'crack'!
Afterward, Ye Xiao's hands didn't let go, both were gathering Nine Yang True Qi, nourishing Su Yun's ankle where a swell had originally bulged but now was visibly returning to normal at the speed of sight!
Half a minute later, Ye Xiao gently let go of Su Yun's ankle, smiling as he twisted his head to look at her.
Ye Xiao said, "Teacher Su, your foot should be fine now, I'm going to head out!"
Ye Xiao had just reached the doorway when he heard Su Yun say, "Wait a second!"
Ye Xiao stopped, but he did not turn around!
At this time, classes had already started, and the hallway was silent, so Ye Xiao didn't immediately go back to the classroom!
Ye Xiao and Su Yun were both sitting on the sofa, neither of them speaking!
Su Yun poured Ye Xiao a cup of tea, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately still looked at Ye Xiao and said, "I'm really sorry about today, I might have misunderstood you a bit!"
Ye Xiao said, "It's fine, admitting a mistake is a sign of a good comrade!"
Su Yun, hearing Ye Xiao's half-joking words, laughed with a snort!
"How can you even treat a sprained ankle, and moreover, you healed it so quickly. I feel even more comfortable now than before I sprained it!" Su Yun said to Ye Xiao!
Ye Xiao smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing really, this... um, it's been in the family!"
Su Yun was immediately surprised and said, "So your ancestors were healers, huh? I never properly thanked you for that last incident, and today, you've helped me out again!"
Ye Xiao said, "The incident this time was also because of me, Teacher Su. Just now, by the desk, I really didn't do it on purpose, I swear!"
Su Yun said, "I believe you, sigh, perhaps I had been affected by what others have been saying, which led me to misunderstand you!"
Ye Xiao immediately became puzzled and said, "Rumors? What kind of rumors?"
Su Yun said, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that a few people said you had several girlfriends, it might be another misunderstanding!"
Ye Xiao immediately gave a bitter laugh, then said to Su Yun, "I don't want to explain that, but I really don't think I have that kind of charm!"
Su Yun laughed and said, "If you're free some day, you should come over to my place!"
"Ah?" Ye Xiao, hearing what Su Yun said, immediately responded, "Teacher Su, let's not. Although I saved you twice, and I accept your gratitude for that. Yet, there's no need for this. After all, we are still teacher and student. Let's wait until after I graduate, what do you think?"
"Where is your mind wandering off to? I'm inviting you over to my place as a guest, to make you a meal as thanks, Ye Xiao, what exactly is going on in your head?" Su Yun said both amused and irritated!
Ye Xiao, hearing what Su Yun said, immediately understood, chuckled and said, "Sure, sure, I'll definitely come by!"
Su Yun said, "Ye Xiao, how about we just consider each other as brother and sister from now on? In this place far from home, it's good to have family!"
Ye Xiao immediately obediently addressed Su Yun, "Sister Su!"
Su Yun responded with a laugh, "Good brother!"
Ye Xiao took a sip of tea, stood up, and said, "Sister Su, I should head back to the classroom now, otherwise, they'll all certainly think you gave me a severe scolding!"
Su Yun said, "Alright then!"
Yet, as she recalled everything that had just happened, Su Yun's face couldn't help but turn red again. Ye Xiao was, after all, her student, and to have been seen by her own student like that was utterly embarrassing. But for some reason, Su Yun didn't feel the heavy embarrassment she usually would. Could it be because Ye Xiao was now considered her brother?
Su Yun couldn't understand it, but in the end, she felt that this was perhaps the most appropriate explanation!
