"Mm, yes."

You and I are friends from now on.

Seeing Xue Libin nod slowly but firmly, although Qimu's body was still aching, but her mood was even better!

Who wouldn't want to be friends with a person who treated others sincerely and did things honestly and had good academic qualities? What's more, Qimu had a very good impression of him. It would be nice if he had many friends!

Following that, Qimu and Xue Libin chatted about trivial things, and the atmosphere was harmonious. When Qimu finished her meal, she put down her chopsticks with a pained expression.

Xue Libin was very considerate and took care of Qimu's meal. Then, he raised his head and looked at Qimu. Like a housekeeper, he warned her carefully,

"Ye Qi, since you've finished eating, you should clean up and go look for Liu Fuzi. Don't let Liu Fuzi wait too long and have a bad impression of you."

Xue Libin was still a little shy, but his attitude was a lot more natural than before.

Perhaps, he was already Qimu's legitimate friend, so when it came to doing things, he didn't have to use the weird 'along the way' or 'unintentionally' as before.

Since he didn't dare to express his intentions, he naturally acted subserviently. His actions were bizarre, as though a mouse that had stolen the rice.

"Yes, I'll go back later. I'm very full now, and although my body is warm, it's still very painful. Let me rest a bit more."

"Ai, if you didn't say it, I would have forgotten about this. Could it be that it's really as Zhu Xu said, that I've really gone silly from reading?"

Qimu leaned leisurely against the wall. After eating her fill, there was a faint trace of weariness in her eyes. She had obviously just woken up and the sun had already set, yet she wanted to crawl back into bed.

Just think, of course.

Qimu had obtained first place in the Enlightenment Poetry Competition. Not only did she receive the title of "Proclamation of Truth", she also received Liu Fuzi's personal tutelage for her studies. She also received a large amount of resources for her research, as well as the Four Treasures in the Literature Room …

There was even a hearsay that it was a very generous "scholarship".

Alright, she admitted that she was a "short-sighted" person, a person who didn't have the slightest bit of "haughtiness".

However, the reality was that she really needed her "first pot of gold". This was also the true purpose of her participating in Poetry Competition this time.

Then, with the first barrel of gold as the capital, she could concentrate on making money by rolling money into money …

Without modern loans, agreements, and so on, Qimu thought she didn't have the ability to be a "white wolf with empty gloves".

When the two of them packed and left the room together, Xue Libin suddenly asked out of nowhere. He looked very bashful, with a smile on his face as he carefully asked:

"Ye Qi, can I call you that?"

Xue Libin looked into Qimu's clear eyes. There was a strong hope that seemed to shine in his eyes, making it hard for people to refuse.

"Sure."

Qimu smiled. This student Xue was really 'cautious'. He had to seriously ask such a trivial matter. Was she such a petty and unreasonable person?

"Then Ye Qi, I'll be leaving first."

"The sky is darkening, and Liu Fuzi's residence is further away. The lights are dim, so be careful on your way."

When Xue Libin heard Qimu's affirmation, it was as if a flower bloomed on his pretty face. His tone was a little agitated. After bidding farewell to Qimu, he left in a hurry as if his eyebrows were burning.

Qimu looked at his figure and shook her head slightly. She sighed in her heart, 'This young man's shy appearance is even more similar to a young girl than her, a proper' young girl. 'I don't know what kind of family background or what parents he has to be a brother to be able to bring up such a delicate appearance.

Qimu sighed as she walked on a similar path as Xue Libin. Wu Tie went to the dining hall to return the food, bowls, chopsticks, etc., while Qimu went to meet Liu Fuzi.

"Liu Fuzi, I'm here."

Qimu softly said as she stood outside the half-open bamboo door.

"Mm, come in."

Liu Fuzi's gentle voice came from the bamboo house. Qimu pushed open the door and entered. With a glance, she could see Liu Fuzi sitting up straight while reading.

The door creaked open. Seeing Qimu walk in, Liu Fuzi smiled amiably at her and pointed to the seat opposite him. He gestured for Qimu to sit down and said:

"Why did you come so late? I thought that you would come early in the morning, but instead, I brewed some tea and waited for you for a long time. Yet, you only arrived now, and the tea is gone."

Upon hearing this, Qimu hurriedly explained:

"Liu Fuzi, I drank a few cups last night. I was drunk, so I slept late today. Teacher, please don't blame me."

Liu Fuzi looked surprised and asked:

"Drink?" Last night, before I left, you were surrounded by your classmates, laughing and joking. Although I'm a teacher, I thought that in the future, you would still have to enter the inner chamber. It's good to leave a good impression on those students, so I didn't disturb you. "

So, I specifically asked Zhu Xu to look at the situation and let him see if you could secretly bring you away by drinking a few cups. If you can't leave, I'll drink a few more cups for you.

Qimu smiled and slandered him in her heart. Ever since she finished her poems yesterday and went down to the pavilion, she had never seen Zhu Xu.

Qimu said with some hesitation.

"Perhaps he has something on his mind …"

Liu Fuzi slightly sighed. His eyes were a little self-reproachful as he said:

"Although Zhu Xu doesn't like to read books, he always does things well. I never thought it would be like this this this time. I did not consider this matter thoroughly. Fortunately, nothing happened to you."

After he finished speaking, Liu Fuzi pointed to the two black boxes on the desk that were folded. He had a kind expression on his face, as if he was the most amiable elder.

"That's what you deserve. Open it and see."
