I failed again

Si Heng pretended nothing had happened and picked up the spoon again to continue drinking his lean meat porridge.

Lin Ze stared at Si Heng for a long time before looking away and whispered, "If you feel bored staying in the room, you can go out for a walk, but don't leave the manor."

After saying that, Lin Ze left quickly without waiting for Si Heng's reply.

Si Heng looked at Lin Ze's back as he hurriedly left, and sighed in his heart. Not being able to leave the manor, what's the difference between this and continuing to lock himself up?

The scope of activities has expanded?

Should I thank him?

It's already been found out that it's not me, why am I still staying in the manor? It's like I'm crazy.

After Si Heng finished his breakfast, he went out to find a servant and got his communicator back.

The communicator had been shut down due to lack of power, so Si Heng charged it and turned it back on.

As soon as he opened it, he found 99+ messages from friends. Si Heng clicked on them and saw that most of them were sent by Yun Yao.

"Brother Siheng, where have you been? Why can't I find you?"

……

On the wedding day, I received the most messages asking where I was, just like a tadpole looking for its mother.

"Brother Siheng, why don't you reply to me?"

Si Heng stared at the aggrieved expression of the kitten following the message for a long time.

Yun Yao didn’t have many friends and didn’t like surfing the Internet, so he didn’t have many emoticon packs on his phone. The few that he had were just interesting ones he picked out from his pack.

He remembered that he didn't have this emoticon.

Where did Yun Yao get this emoticon pack?

Could it be that he took it from Qin Muxiu?

Unexpectedly, Marshal Qin, who is known for his decisiveness and ruthlessness, would use such a cute emoticon pack in private.

Si Heng's finger continued to slide down, and he was stunned when he saw the message below clearly.

"Brother Siheng, I want to discuss with him whether we can temporarily postpone the marriage consummation tonight. Do you think it's okay?"

"Brother Si Heng?"

"Are you there?"

……

"Brother Siheng, I'm going."

Si Heng slapped himself on the forehead. Before, he was only worried that Yun Yao and Qin Muxiu would fall into the same situation as himself after getting married.

Later, when he found out that Qin Muxiu also liked Yun Yao, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to try every possible way to get the two of them to spend more time together and cultivate their relationship.

He also specially added Qin Muxiu to guide him on how to cultivate his relationship with Yun Yao.

But she forgot that with Yun Yao's personality, it was already very difficult for him to marry someone he had only known for a month. During this month, Yun Yao had been forcing himself to accept Qin Muxiu.

But no matter how hard he tried to accept it, Yun Yao still couldn't accept it to this extent.

It was also his fault for forgetting this. He should have mentioned it to Qin Muxiu earlier. In this way, Qin Muxiu would have taken the initiative to tell Yun Yao, and Yun Yao's favorability towards Qin Muxiu would have definitely increased a lot.

Tsk, what a bad decision!

Thinking of this, Si Heng continued to slide his finger down, wanting to see what message Yun Yao had sent him.

"He agreed!"

"Brother Siheng, are you busy? Why don't you reply to my messages?"

Busy, busy being used as an antidote by that idiot. Si Heng thought with gritted teeth.

Yun Yao didn’t send any messages after that, and only sent a few messages yesterday.

"Brother Si Heng, Qin Muxiu and I are leaving for our honeymoon today, and our first stop is Die Star."

"I've seen the introduction and pictures of Butterfly Star in books before. It's so beautiful. I brought my painting supplies this time and plan to sketch there."

Si Heng's face was filled with black lines. If Qin Muxiu knew that he was so excited to take Yun Yao on a honeymoon to cultivate their relationship, but Yun Yao brought painting supplies with him and only thought about painting and sketching, he would probably be so angry that he would die.

There are three pictures below. Si Heng clicked on them and saw that they were two quick sketches and one oil painting.

Looking at the delicate brushstrokes and careful composition of the oil painting, I'm afraid Yun Yao spent a lot of time and effort to complete it.

Si Heng felt inexplicably sorry for Qin Muxiu. He happily took his wife out for a honeymoon, but it turned out that his wife's mind was only filled with painting. The thought of this made him feel sad for Qin Muxiu.

The messages stopped here. Si Heng guessed that he probably hadn't gone out to play yet. He sent a few messages to let Yun Yao know he was safe and reminded him not to think about painting all the time and to have more fun with Qin Muxiu.

Then he exited the chat box with Yun Yao and opened He Yue's chat box. He Yue also sent him a lot of messages.

"Teacher, why did you leave early?"

Ten minutes later, He Yue sent another message, "Teacher, why don't you reply to me? Are you angry with me?"

He also posted an emoticon of a crying person, and then started to explain...oh no, to justify his own behavior.

"Teacher, I didn't mean to lie to you. I have always admired your achievements in piano and have always wanted to be your student."

"My parents sent someone to invite you before, hoping that you would take me in as a student and teach me to play the piano, but you refused. You said at the time that you were not very good at teaching students, and asked my parents to find someone else to teach me. You also recommended several famous pianists to my parents. I was very sad for a long time."

"Then I received news that you were teaching at the Imperial Academy of Arts, so I tried my best to get admitted."

"The second time I approached you, you still turned me away with the words 'They are all my students'. Later, through investigation, I found out that you are different from other pianists in the empire. You were born in a slum and worked your way up step by step on your own. The hardships along the way made you especially caring for talented students who were born in poverty."

"So I made up a life story that was very similar to yours, and I pestered you for more than three months before you agreed to let me be your student."

“I was so happy.”

"I know it's wrong for me to lie to the teacher, but I really want to be your student. Teacher, please don't be angry, okay?"

"I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do it next time."

Si Heng felt calm as he watched He Yue analyze her inner thoughts. She said that it was only after she was rejected the second time she tried to approach him after entering university that she investigated him and then fabricated a false story to get in touch with him.

But I clearly remember what He Yue wrote on the enrollment registration form: an orphan with no parents, and grew up in an orphanage; and what she was wearing when she said she wanted to be my student when we first met, an old, simple short-sleeved shirt and washed-out jeans, yet she stood in front of me with neither arrogance nor servility, expressing her admiration for me and her desire to be my student.

He didn't believe at all that He Yue hadn't planned to approach him from the beginning!

Now this explanation is a mixture of truth and falsehood, and he doesn't want to expose He Yue.

After all, exposing the truth would do no good to himself except to embarrass He Yue.

Moreover, since He Yue has already been accepted, it would not be appropriate to kick her out at this time.

Not only is it inappropriate, it may also make you enemies with the He family.

When the time comes for the He family to retaliate against me, who can I ask for help? Who can help me, and who dares to risk offending the He family to help me?

Therefore, it is better not to expose it and let He Yue feel guilty about it. Maybe it will be useful to me in the future.

However, even though he thought so, Si Heng still planned to scare He Yue and teach her a lesson.

"If it weren't for this wedding banquet, I wouldn't have known that this student from the slums was actually the eldest daughter of the He family."

"Thank you for your hard work, He Yue, for keeping the matter secret."

He Yue replied almost immediately, "Teacher, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will never do it again!"

"In the future? Why, do you still want to use this background to fool other people?" Si Heng asked while typing.

"No, no." He Yue hurriedly replied, "No, teacher, I don't have this idea. You are my only teacher and I will never worship other teachers again."

"So, teacher, can you please forgive me and not kick me out?"

Si Heng deliberately stopped typing in the chat box and looked at the "typing" icon on the chat box for a few minutes. Only after He Yue couldn't stand it anymore and sent him an emoticon of crying and kneeling begging for mercy did Si Heng send out the typed words.

"Okay, stop thinking about it. Since I've accepted you as my student, I won't go back on my word and kick you out. Relax and don't think too much."

He Yue sent several emojis in a row, "That's great, teacher, you are so kind!"
