“So, it was young master Su who sent me back to the mansion?” Lu Yuner’s long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly. She put down the mirror, slowly turned around, and looked at Qiu Yi seriously.

“That’s right.” The foolish Qiu Yi answered truthfully, not noticing anything unusual about her lord. She then curiously asked, “What’s wrong, my lord?”

“Nothing. I want to take a bath,” Lu Yuner came back to her senses, and her eyes gradually narrowed as she said in a low voice.

“I’ll go prepare it.” Before leaving, Qiu Yi didn’t forget to remind, “My lord, you should really stop eating spicy food in the future. When you returned to the mansion, your lips were red and swollen, not looking good at all.”

“…Not looking good?”

Lu Yuner muttered to herself and suddenly started to feel a headache. She raised her hand to massage her temple acupoints, not knowing if it was because she was angered by the foolish Qiu Yi’s words. Qiu Yi would definitely be bought by someone sooner or later, and she would even give them change.

After a while, Lu Yuner got up and came to the window. Dressed in a white inner garment, she stood there, looking ethereal and aloof, gazing at the endless darkness in solitude, as if all things in the world had lost their voices, leaving only emptiness.

To be honest, she really didn’t have much guard against young master Su. At most, she thought he was just a teenage boy, while the original owner was already twenty years old. Whether as a teacher or an elder, she was in the position of a senior, guiding and caring for him with patience.

Sister Lan had joked about her and young master Su, but she didn’t take it to heart because she had heard quite a few such jokes between men and women.

She was not a person who was pure and uninterested in love.

Before her soul transmigration, she had been in three relationships, big and small. However, after experiencing life and death, she looked at everything very calmly. Not long after her soul transmigration, she took the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and had been busy with political achievements. She also had to deal with various people in officialdom, so she really didn’t have much time.

She couldn’t really balance both love and career.

Most importantly, when it came to dating, she placed more emphasis on feelings. Moreover, that nightmare made her increasingly feel that her soul seemed to be able to return to her own body.

If one day she could really go back, she would definitely be willing to return to the world where she originally belonged!

The familiar environment she grew up in, her loving family, and her close friends were all there.

It’s not that she didn’t have any attachment to this place. Her friends here treated her very well, so she intentionally reduced more entanglements.

Among them, love was something she couldn’t touch at the moment. Once she touched it, she might really not be able to leave.

As for this young master Su…

Now that she thought about it, his inexplicable appearance at the Qu Yue Fang showed that he had been following her that day. He looked at her with those moist and aggrieved eyes. At that time, she thought he was disappointed in her as a teacher going to an improper place, but who would have thought it had another meaning.

When did this daring little guy start having such thoughts about her?

She actually didn’t notice it at all.

However, she had to nip this delicate little peach blossom in the bud.

After taking a bath and having breakfast, along with other miscellaneous matters, she set off for the Imperial Academy slightly earlier than usual.

In the carriage, Lu Yuner leaned against the carriage wall, her eyes quietly closed, but her mind was in a mess.

When she arrived at the Imperial Academy, the carriage stopped, and Lu Yuner naturally opened her eyes.

As soon as Lu Yuner lifted the curtain, Qiu Yi’s soft whisper came: “My lord, look, isn’t that young master Su at the entrance of the Jixian Gate?”

Lu Yuner’s hand that lifted the curtain paused. She didn’t look in the direction of Qiu Yi’s words, but instead calmly got off the carriage.

On the other side, Su Qingwan’s gaze had never left for a moment since the carriage stopped.

At this moment, the surroundings were silent. When he heard the maid called Qiu Yi speak and turn her gaze over, he wished that Lu Yuner would also look at him, even if just a glance!

But Lu Yuner’s expression was indifferent. Her disregard was like a cold and gleaming sharp blade piercing him, and a heart-wrenching pain spread throughout his body.

Su Qingwan’s face stiffened, and he lowered his dark and thick eyelashes like ink. His palms were covered in a layer of sweat.

…Lu Yuner was angry.

She ignored him…

Lu Yuner carried the food box and walked towards him. Seeing him looking like a frost-beaten eggplant, pitiful and miserable, like a child who had made a mistake, hanging his head.

A wave of pity arose in Lu Yuner’s moist eyes. The next moment, she shifted her gaze and quickly walked past him.

She was not a cold-hearted person. People are not wood, and it’s impossible to maintain such a cold and hard attitude.

Young master Su’s age was in the midst of puberty, and the awakening of love during puberty was a normal thing. Everyone would have someone they liked when they were young. As a teacher, it was appropriate to guide him.

But she was also involved in the case. She had thought it was a teacher-student relationship, but it turned out to be a teacher-student romance. Persuading him to give up was the right thing to do.

At this time, the sky gradually brightened but was covered by clouds. The hazy light filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting a scattered glow, dappling the shadows of the two on the ground, one in front and one behind.

The Imperial Academy was quiet and peaceful, so quiet that there was no sound.

Su Qingwan obediently followed behind. When Lu Yuner took a step, he took a step, carefully maintaining a certain distance from her, afraid of giving off any inappropriate intentions.

Finally, Lu Yuner stopped and turned to look at him, but remained silent, with a coldness that kept people a thousand miles away.

Su Qingwan nervously met those clear peach blossom eyes that were like limpid waves, but found that the light in those eyes had changed.

In the past, they were gentle and warm, like bathing in the spring breeze. Today, they were cold and distant, as if falling into an icy abyss.

“I’m sorry,” Su Qingwan said, looking at her with wet eyes and biting his lower lip, feeling extremely guilty.

His voice trembled uncontrollably, and that enchanting beauty mark seemed to be on the verge of falling, exuding a pitiful and moving aura.

The sincere and earnest tone carried an imperceptible lowering of posture, even a bit of self-deprecation.

Although Lu Yuner did not speak, she saw his phoenix eyes that were red and swollen, with a hint of darkness under the lower eyelids, and a trace of fatigue between his brows and eyes.

From the looks of it, he had cried all night and got up so early now to wait for her, just to apologize to her at the first opportunity.

“I’m sorry,” Su Qingwan continued, seeing that Lu Yuner didn’t speak.

His heart was completely chilled. The fingers in his sleeve unconsciously tugged at the hem of his clothes, and the tips of his fingers turned a shade of white from gripping tightly.

Su Qingwan originally had a slender figure, with icy skin and jade bones, a delicate rosy glow, and tearful eyes that looked both pure and alluring. From the inside out, he exuded a soul-stirring, fragile beauty that would arouse people’s desire to protect him, yet also make them want to ravage him.

Like beautiful jade, yet easily shattered.
