Chapter 293: Changed to Admiring You (Three more)_1
Yang Ruxin also realized that she had spoken too hastily, but with her thick skin, she didn’t feel embarrassed. Instead, she defended herself quite confidently, "I was just making a comparison. There’s no need for you to get so worked up about it..." As she spoke, she kindly got up and patted Gu Qingheng on the back.
"Am I that old? I’m only four years older than you," Gu Qingheng actually felt a bit deflated. It seemed he really needed to recover soon; otherwise... Some kid had actually moved into her home, and he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.
If Yang Ruxin knew what was going on in his mind, she would probably die laughing. Zhou Xiao was a seventeen-year-old kid; he had nothing to do with her, right? She didn’t have any inclination for younger boys...
"Old? You’re not old at all. Whoever dares to call you old, I’ll have a bone to pick with them..." Yang Ruxin hastily waved her hands, then flashed an ingratiating smile, "Actually, my point was to express respect, it has nothing to do with age. Besides, being a teacher doesn’t necessarily mean one is old. Didn’t Confucius say it? ’When three people walk with me, my teacher is among them’..."
"You even know about Saints," Gu Qingheng smiled, "Did Guan Qingshu teach you that?" Unbeknownst to him, his tone was slightly sour.
"How could he be the one to teach me? I heard my Yang Rusong mention it..." Although Yang Ruxin didn’t pick up on the hint of jealousy, she didn’t want to tie herself to Guan Qingshu, especially with a scholar already in her family, that seemed enough to gloss things over.
Sure enough, Gu Qingheng said no more and his mood inexplicably brightened.
"And hey, Gu Qingheng, even though I used to...uh, have a thing for Guan Qingshu, now I have absolutely nothing to do with him. Can you please not bring him up in front of me again?" Yang Ruxin rolled her eyes in frustration.
