99 Study Hard
Yao Zizhou smiled helplessly. It was just a cold, how could she be dying?
Yesterday, he had already tried to warn her, but she did not listen, so there was nothing he could do. However, thinking about how much she was suffering, Yao Zizhou became very concerned, especially when he heard Ming Liuyi say that she felt hot and cold at the same time.
Yao Zizhou stretched out his arm and said, “Come here, I’ll give you a hug.”
Ming Liuyi raised her head and saw that Yao Zizhou was wearing earphones, probably listening to something. She curiously went forward to listen in, but there was no sound.
Yao Zizhou knew that the madam had a child’s temper when she was sick. He patiently asked, “Do you want to listen with me?”
Ming Liuyi leaned on Yao Zizhou’s shoulder and nodded. Yao Zizhou took off the earphones and fumbled around to put them in Ming Liuyi’s ears. After listening for two minutes, Ming Liuyi immediately returned the earphones to Yao Zizhou. It was all in English. She heard every word, but it seemed like she did not hear anything at all, because she did not understand anything.
Ming Liuyi did not continue to lie in Yao Zizhou’s arms, but silently returned to her spot on the bed. She was a little embarrassed, but she was just curious and wanted to hear it. In the end, she just felt a little inadequate. Yao Zizhou did not find anything wrong with Ming Liuyi’s mood, and only thought that she just did not like these things.
He touched Ming Liuyi and said, “Are you hungry? Shall I get Xiao Fan to bring breakfast up for you?”
Ming Liuyi was still immersed in the feeling of being inadequate. ‘Isn’t it tiring to listen to such complicated English so early in the morning? He really doesn’t slack off at all, does he? Would it really be so bad to slack off sometimes?’
Ming Liuyi pouted, and her voice carried a hint of coquesttishnes as she mumbled softly, “I’m not hungry. My stomach doesn’t feel good either. I don’t feel like eating.”
Yao Zizhou knew that after a cold, one’s appetite would indeed get worse, and it would be very uncomfortable, but after a while, she had to eat something. She could not go on with an empty stomach, or else it would upset the stomach too much. Yao Zizhou patted Ming Liuyi’s back, his face full of love, and he really hoped that his wife would get better soon.
“Then you should sleep a little more. It’s still early.”
Ming Liuyi raised her head to look at the time on the wall. It was not even six o’clock yet. The sky always brightened early during the summer. When she woke up just now, she thought it was already eight or nine o’clock and did not notice the time.
Yao Zizhou had actually started to study and work so early. He was really hardworking. Ming Liuyi closed her eyes and thought that when she was done recovering, she would study hard.
However, by that time, He Yanfeng would have already started his new semester, and would have no time to continue tutoring her. She would need to find a new teacher and continue to develop her own career.
Thinking of her own career, Ming Liuyi did not feel drowsy anymore. She turned around and looked at Yao Zizhou, then asked in a low voice, “Yao Zizhou, are you busy right now?”
Yao Zizhou had his earphones on, but the volume was not loud. This was to ensure that he could hear Ming Liuyi’s voice at all times, so that if anything happened, he could react. Hearing her words, Yao Zizhou took off his earphones. ‘Is she not feeling well? Or is there something wrong?’
He promptly asked, “I’m not busy. What’s the matter? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
Ming Liuyi thought of the “praise” group she talked about with You Lingling, and immediately became spirited. Since Yao Zizhou was not busy at this moment, they could use him for practice. This would help her in case she stammered when they got started later on, then they would not attract many guests.
The current moment was a good time to train, so Ming Liuyi said to Yao Zizhou, “Can I praise you now?”
Yao Zizhou was confused. ‘Why does she have to praise me? It must be that she needs help with something. Otherwise, why would she praise me for no reason? I’ll see what it is first.’
Ming Liuyi looked at Yao Zizhou’s confused face and smiled. Her voice was soft as she tried to please him with her words. “Well, Lingling and I made a praise group. I want to put in some practice on what to say, is that okay?”
What else could Yao Zizhou do? His wife had already said so, and her voice was so alluring, so how could he resist? Besides, it was a very satisfying thing to be praised, especially by his wife, so he had no reason to refuse.
He immediately nodded. Ming Liuyi looked at Yao Zizhou’s handsome face and said seriously, “Thank you for your visit, Mr. Yao. Today’s a beautiful day, and we are open for business. Welcome.”
