Chapter 234: Progress Together
The night was quiet, and the golden lamp and Black Peony in the yard were half hidden and half visible in the darkness, blurring their colors. The courtyard light gathered warm orange beams, softly spilling into the night.
Bangbangtang had a hearty meal, contentedly found its little nest, and nestled in to put on some autumn fat.
Sister Qian finished tidying up, glanced at the light lit in Mr. Su’s room, smiled slightly, and returned to her own room.
By this light, Tu Hengsha was practicing calligraphy, stroke by stroke, based on what he had written... As for why she was practicing? It was because Tu Hengsha was discontented with Mr. Su’s smug face of "vast knowledge." After Mr. Su pulled her into the room, she expressed with righteous indignation that they should do something of high value.
This is how the situation unfolded...
What good could two people do together late at night? Someone like Mr. Su, a long-time novice, loved to learn and was diligent. Every time he opened a new door, he would explore and practice tirelessly, of course, behind closed doors.
So, Mr. Su outside the door and Mr. Su inside the door were two completely different images.
Tu Hengsha was frustrated. Clearly, he was the one more eager for practice in everything, and she was just someone who couldn’t keep her mouth shut. Why did she have to take all the blame?
She felt the deep malice of the world towards the phrase "outspoken and frank."
Therefore, when Mr. Su was about to hold her for new practice, she decisively blocked him with her arm, "Stop! Mr. Su, I feel it only makes sense for two people together to progress equally! We can’t indulge in pleasures, and think of desires when full and warm; it is sinful!"
A small voice inside her belly laughed, "Ha, let’s see you keep up your virtuous appearance! Let’s see you always pass the buck!"
