My Little Girl (50)
Master Gao had called everyone who had taken part in the play . With a satisfied look he tapped Jing Fei’s and Shu Nuan’s shoulders . While suppressing his laughter, he said, “Everyone did a good job . The Headmaster came to tell all the teachers that the emperor gave our play a high evaluation!”
A student cried out with excitement, “Will master be giving us a reward?”
He responded to the student’s words with a helpless nod . “You’ll all have tomorrow off . Come back to the academy the day after!”
Hearing his words, everyone cheered . Someone even yelled, “Long live Master Gao!”
As a result, Master Gao didn’t know where to draw the ruler, and rebuked the guy . “His Majesty is sitting in the audience! Don’t talk nonsense again . It seems you don’t want a holiday tomorrow . ”
The crowd laughed, and Master Gao left with his roughened temper .
After he left, Shu Nuan had to go find Sheng Qianmo . She was still quite afraid the prince would get angry from waiting for a long time . As she came out from Master Gao’s room, Jing Fei followed behind, and called out to her . “Shu Nuan?”
Shu Nuan heard someone call her name and looked back to find Jing Fei .
“Going back?” Jing Fei had noticed the direction she was heading in didn’t lead to the performance stage .
Shu Nuan nodded . “Yes . ”
Jing Fei seemed to hesitate and think over something, but in the end, couldn’t help but mutter, “I just heard a classmate say he saw you with your uncle when he went to call you over . Is that right?”
Shu Nuan didn’t try to conceal the truth and nodded . “Yes . ”
Jing Fei gazed at her, at a loss for the moment . He didn’t know what to say .
“What’s the matter?” she asked .
The boy wanted to say something but couldn’t put it into words . In the end, Su Hai jumped out of his hiding place behind a stone statue, and shouted in an anxious voice, “Jing Fei, get out of my way!”
Jing Fei took a calm step to the side .
Qi Yue walked over as well and stood in front of Shu Nuan . “We have a holiday tomorrow . Do you want to hang out with us?”
Shu Nuan stared at him with a blank face .
“Some of our classmates said they were going out to have fun . Will you come or not?”
Shu Nuan showed displeasure as she asked, “Must I go?”
Su Hai glared at her . “What’s with your attitude? You don’t want to go?”
Shu Nuan was not reluctant, at most she was just worried . She muttered, “I’ll have to ask… my uncle first . ”
Even Qi Yue knitted his brows . “Is your uncle strict in taking care of you?”
Shu Nuan nodded .
In spite of Sheng Qianmo’s continued kindness toward her, she didn’t want to make a decision by herself . He was generous right now, but if she offended him, her life would become miserable .
Su Hai snorted and blurted out, “That’s fine then! If you want to come with us, be at the academy tomorrow early in the morning . ”
“Yes . ”
After bidding them goodbye, Shu Nuan thought how the prince must be furious already . As she trotted along towards the academy exit, Sheng Lingyun unexpectedly appeared in an archway and stopped her in the corridor .
The Seventh Prince had drank a lot of wine . Blocking the little girl’s path, he looked at her with an intoxicated gaze . His eyes were a window to his unscrupulous thoughts: blatant and undisguised desire .
Shu Nuan’s eyes darkened . She was about to walk past him, but was caught off guard as Sheng Lingyun grabbed her wrist . She bored at him with a cold gaze .
The gaze gave Sheng Lingyun a different feeling than usual .
