She was wearing a scarlet dress, with her hair tied up in a bun, and had a pair of lively big eyes. If you looked closely under the sunlight, you could see that her pupils were light pink, her lips were rosy and shiny, and her fair and delicate almond-shaped face stood out in the crowd.

It was hard for Shen Jiayu not to notice it.

This outfit looks so familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before, but I have no impression of this face at all.

Where have you seen it before?

She lowered her brows and thought carefully, and suddenly her eyes widened. She remembered why it felt so familiar, because in her book, it was set that Chao Yan's first appearance in Kyoto was when she was sent out of the house by Qi Binwei to study.

The academy that Shen Yi brought her to happened to be the only girls' academy in Kyoto. There were only men in Qi Binwei's house, and it was not easy to teach Chao Yan because of the gender differences.

Qi Binwei mentioned that he would teach Chaoyan slowly, but Chaoyan didn't want to stay in the mansion and wanted to come out to learn. After much deliberation, Qi Binwei sent Chaoyan here and also took this opportunity to improve Chaoyan's favorability towards him.

Shen Jiayu smiled evilly and said to Shen Yi without turning his head, "I'm going to take a look. Don't follow me."

Shen Yi nodded behind her, his eyes always following Shen Jiayu.

Walking up to Chao Yan, who had a sad face, Shen Jiayu greeted her as if he had seen an old friend whom he had not seen for many years.

"Hi~"

Zhao Yan blinked her big eyes and looked at the familiar Shen Jiayu with a confused look on her face, and asked doubtfully, "You...are you talking to me?"

"Well, I'm here to learn how to read, what about you?"

Shen Jiayu was making awkward conversation, she needed to seize the time, push the plot forward and finish the book as soon as possible so she could go home early.

"Me too." Chao Yan smiled innocently, "Can I go in with you? This is my first time here and I don't know what to do."

"Hahaha, of course."

Of course you can. In a sense, this is my first time here too, my lady. I will change your life from now on.

In Shen Jiayu's setting, Chao Yan, the saint of the Kongsang tribe, is the most innocent and kind person in the book. She always travels with the belief that all things in the world are kind. Although she was deceived by the male protagonist in the later period, she still chose to forgive his actions, but she will never look back. Her heart is still kind but tougher than before.

She could suspect that everyone had ulterior motives, but she would never doubt Chao Yan.

Shen Jiayu brought Chaoyan to Shen Yi and spoke.

"Brother Shen, this is a girl I just met. I'm going in with her. When I get in, don't miss me too much. I'll go home when I'm done with my studies."

From the moment she brought Chaoyan over, Shen Yi's eyes shifted from her to Chaoyan. Looking at Chaoyan's delicate little face, that harmless smile simply touched Shen Yi's heart.

"Girl, are you fourteen? You look so young. You come to study at such a young age. You must take care of yourself." Shen Yi didn't know what was wrong with him. He just wanted to say a few more words and look at Chaoyan a few more times.

Chao Yan took a deep breath and kept a polite smile on her face. Her heart beat faster. She was very afraid of the bearded Shen Yi. She didn't expect that Shen Jiayu would know someone who looked so fierce.

For a moment I didn't know how to respond to the other party.

"Full...full. I'm nineteen this year."

"Don't be afraid, this is my friend. Although he looks big and strong, he is a very nice person. I'll introduce him to you when I have the chance. But we are running out of time, and the class is about to start. Let's go in first." Shen Jiayu could see that Chaoyan was a little scared, and also saw the look in Shen Yi's eyes that could not be concealed.

Asagao has a cute face and speaks softly, so anyone who sees her will look at her a few more times.

"We're going in. Remember, don't miss me too much!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I won't miss you." Shen Yi came back to his senses and regretted what he said. He felt that what he said was not good, so he added an explanation, "...I mean, I'm sure you will study well, so I won't miss you."

"No need to explain, I understand! Tell my brother to buy me something delicious after school, I will be very tired from studying."

"Okay! I will definitely convey your message!" Shen Yi patted his chest and made a promise.

……

After chatting for a while, Shen Jiayu took Chao Yan into the academy.

"My name is Shen Jiayu, what's yours?" Shen Jiayu thought that they would meet often in the future. She knew Chaoyan's name, but the other party didn't know hers. It would be inconvenient after a long time.

"Asagao." After she said that, she smiled happily, revealing her shallow dimples, making her look even more delicate and lovely.

Shen Jiayu's heart was about to melt. Who wouldn't be confused after seeing this?

"The name Chaoyan sounds nice and suits you very well." Shen Jiayu pulled her and asked her to sit on his right side. "You sit here. We will all sit in this position from now on."

Chao Yan nodded and waited quietly for the teacher to arrive.

After a whole day of classes, Shen Jiayu fell asleep five times, and each time Chaoyan discovered it in time and secretly woke her up so that she could receive fewer beatings.

"That's all for today." After the teacher said this, he looked at Shen Jiayu deeply, lowered his eyes and sighed inadvertently.

Shen Jiayu looked down at the words on his desk, awkwardly crumpled up the paper into a ball and hid it in his clothes.

Well, the teacher tried his best.

These ugly things shouldn't exist in this world, go back and burn them!

Zhao Yan noticed her movements, stood up and handed her a roll of paper, "Shen Jiayu, this is what I learned today. This is the first time for us to learn, so you may not understand these strokes. Maybe what I wrote can help you."

Taking the roll of paper, Asagao's handwriting was very childish, but much better than hers. They didn't know the language of this world, and there were no annotations, only simple and easy-to-understand strokes and Asagao's drawings.

Shen Jiayu understood it at a glance. Chao Yan also considerately broke down the strokes of the characters and drew some pictures based on his own understanding, which was similar to the explanation of the evolution of oracle bone inscriptions and was simple and easy to understand.

"You figured this out in one day?" Shen Jiayu asked in disbelief. Although it was also learning, she really didn't learn anything.

"Well, I'm very interested in words, but I haven't learned it. Now I want to learn it seriously. My grandma said that as long as you do it and feel something with your heart, you can discover the rules in it and learn how to deal with it. I hope what I learned today can help you." Chaoyan said seriously.

Shen Jiayu listened very seriously, but she was forced to learn. Chaoyan's words were just chicken soup, she didn't like to drink it, so she just listened.

"Very useful, thank you." Shen Jiayu put the paper away.

"Nice to meet you. This is for you." Chao Yan stuffed a small box into Shen Jiayu's hand and then trotted away.
