Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Gu Qingyuan looked at Chunfen, who seemed to want to laugh but didn't dare to, squinted her eyes and asked her, "Chunfen, you think it's funny too, don't you?"

Chunfen quickly put away the expression on her face and said, "I didn't. This shows that the young master and Mr. Wen have a good relationship. I am so happy!"

Gu Qingyuan sneered, wet his mouth and wiped it clean, making sure there were no lip balm marks on his lips before standing up.

When Gu Qingyuan arrived at the academy again, the people in the inner room who liked to watch the fun gathered around her and asked her, "Gu Qingyuan, have you finished dealing with your family affairs?"

"Yes, yes. You suddenly went out yesterday. The teacher asked you about it during class."

"Thank you all for your concern. I'm fine now." Gu Qingyuan said with a smile.

A few girls were worried and asked again: "Are you really okay?"

"Really." It wasn't a big deal anyway.

After hearing what Gu Qingyuan said, those people felt relieved. Although Gu Qingyuan had not been in the inner dormitory for a long time, they still liked getting along with Gu Qingyuan and naturally did not want anything to happen to the Gu family.

Ye Li sat alone, looking at Gu Qingyuan who was the center of attention. He felt that he was just like the dirt being stepped on by others, so different from her.

His hand holding the pen trembled slightly as he wrote her name on the paper, and then he scribbled over it with ink as if he was afraid of being discovered.

When Master Shen came to class, he saw that Gu Qingyuan had returned. He nodded to her and then started the class.

The students were still quite afraid of her, and after Master Shen came over, they all quickly returned to their seats.

Master Shen swept his stern gaze across the inner quarters and said, "According to the Academy's decision, we will be giving a month's farm leave. Those of you who have farmland at home can help with the work during this period."

Students from ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, all become excited when they hear the word "holiday".

After Master Shen finished speaking, cheers were heard.

Master Shen slapped the table and the room instantly became quiet. Then she picked up the book and walked down, explaining the ancient texts to them as she walked.

It was a hot day, and Master Shen's rhythmic tone made people drowsy.

While listening, Gu Qingyuan was calculating how long it would take for the martial arts competition to start. She couldn't wait to show off her skills.

She also needs to take some time to visit the Academy of Classics.

As she was thinking, Master Shen had already walked to her side. Seeing that she was obviously distracted, he shook his head and nodded at her.

"Gu Qingyuan, please repeat what I just said."

Gu Qingyuan was in a daze when she heard Master Shen calling her name. She stood up and repeated what Master Shen had just said.

"The way of the great Dao is to make the world a common good, to select the virtuous and capable, to uphold trust and cultivate harmony..."

[Note: From "Book of Rites. Li Yun"]

Master Shen listened and nodded, then asked Gu Qingyuan to explain the meaning.

"Then explain it to me."

Gu Qingyuan honestly explained the meaning of this sentence and was allowed to sit down only after gaining Master Shen's approval.

Master Shen looked at her with a warning look, as if to say, even if you know it, you must listen carefully.

Gu Qingyuan sat up straighter and put all the messy thoughts out of his mind.

In order to ensure the healthy development of students, the college has set up outdoor activity classes.

In the afternoon, Gu Qingyuan and the students played Cuju. Cuju is actually a leather ball. Gu Qingyuan kicked the ball out and soon another girl caught it.

When the ball reached Gu Qingyuan's feet, she kicked it too hard and hit Ye Li, who was sitting alone, on the head.

Ye Li was originally sitting on the ground reading a book, when he suddenly felt something falling from the sky, causing a sudden pain in his head.

Then, a ball rolled to his side.

He rubbed his head, stood up, and then saw Gu Qingyuan running towards him with an apologetic look on his face.

This was the first time he was so close to Gu Qingyuan after the two of them sat separately. After seeing her, he was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Gu Qingyuan picked up the ball from the ground, looked at him again, and asked him: "Um, Ye Li, are you okay?"

There was a bump on his head, and Ye Li felt a dull pain where he was hit.

The people over there were already yelling at Gu Qingyuan to hurry over. Gu Qingyuan kicked the ball over and then said to them, "I'm not going to play anymore. You guys can play now."

When Gu Qingyuan came to ask if she was okay again, Ye Li suddenly asked her, "Why don't you go?"

"You were hit like this, as a classmate I have to show some concern."

So, is it just a friendship between classmates?

Ye Li pulled the corner of his mouth, reached out and pressed the bag, and shook his head, "I'm fine."

How could he be alright? Gu Qingyuan was afraid that he would be stunned, so she said to him, "Wait for me first."

Before Ye Li understood what was happening, he saw Gu Qingyuan leaving at an extremely fast speed. When she came back, she was holding alcohol in her hand.

"Don't move, I'll apply it on you."

Just now she went to borrow some alcohol from Master Shen, and Master Shen thought she was injured, but Gu Qingyuan just shook her head and said it was not her.

She poured alcohol on a ball of cotton and intended to apply it on Ye Li's forehead, but Ye Li dodged it calmly.

"I said no, it's just a minor injury."

Ye Li felt that his words sounded a bit like he was angry.

"Well, you should paint it yourself, otherwise it would be bad if you get hit and become stupid."

Gu Qingyuan accidentally said what was in his heart.

Ye Li curled the corners of his mouth again and looked at her indifferently, as if he was looking at a stranger.

"Don't worry, I won't be stupid."

There seemed to be an invisible wall between the two people. After Gu Qingyuan left the things, she looked at him for a while from a distance.

Ye Li was still afraid of leaving a scar on his head, so he applied some alcohol to the injured area. The cool and slightly stimulating feeling made him frown slightly.

Gu Qingyuan went back to playing Cuju with them. They looked at Gu Qingyuan and asked, "Why are you still caring about that guy?"

"That's right, he usually looks so aloof, I wonder if he looks down on us."

Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but speak up for him, "Ye Li is just like that. He never looks down on anyone, he just doesn't like talking to people."

Several girls looked at Gu Qingyuan in surprise, "You actually spoke for her?"

"Yeah, what's so good about her? The teacher always praises her. I think she's just pretending to be noble."

Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but scold them: "Ye Li didn't seem to have done anything harmful, did he? There's no need for you to be so malicious towards him."

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about her anymore and continue playing Cuju."

After being scolded by Gu Qingyuan, several people curled their lips and stopped mentioning him.
