Chapter 20 - 20 Studying III

Hong er POV

I do my daily routine, wake up, read a book, train with father, and now I'm on my way to meet my literature teacher. I went to the library and saw a young man with light blue hanfu with cloud pattern on his sleeves sitting on a chair. Wow, what a handsome guy. There are stacks of books on his table, maybe that is what he is going to teach me. I went to him and greet him.

Hong er: " Greeting to Lan laoshi, I'm the Di daughter of Great General Xu, Xu Feihong." ( Di daughter= legitimate daughter)

Lan Qingshan: " Nice to meet you Miss Xu, my name is Lan Qingshan. From now on, I will be your new literature teacher. Now let's start our lesson, should we?"

Hong er: " Y-yes"

I don't know why, Lan laoshi is the scariest human I've ever met.

3 hours later*

As I thought, he is scarier than father when he is teaching. He never smiled at me like any other people. Maybe he thinks that I'm ugly. He made me memorize 50 poems in 1 hour. I'm just like. And for 2 hours, he was teaching me math that I have never heard or seen before. Thank god I can learn it quickly. I was curious just what kind of math is that so I went to ask him.

Hong er: " Uhhmm, Lan laoshi, can I ask you something?"

Lan Qingshan: " Yes, Miss Xu."

Hong er: " Why have I never seen this math before?"

Lan Qingshan: " Ahh, you are quite sharp My Lady. This is the newly founded mathematics from Lan Academy."

My jaw dropped.

Hong er: " T-then it means…"

Lan Qingshan: " Yes, it is what you think it is. This is the lesson for the 12th grade."

Hong er: " B-but I am only in 3rd grade."

Lan Qingshan: " There is no excuses, I only teaches the best of the best. I don't want a stupid student that can't learn quickly. Then I'll excuse myself Miss Xu. I hope you still remember what I taught you when we meet 3 days later."

Lan laoshi had left before I could open my mouth.

Hong er: " B-but I am only 7 years old.."

I went to mother's study room like usual and practice my magic. Then I ate dinner and reviewed what I have learned before I go to sleep.

Lan Qingshan: ' That Miss Xu is better than I thought. I thought that she was a spoiled young miss when Madam Xu ask me to teach her. Hmm, her ability is very outstanding, even better than my students in my academy. I should teach her harder so I can show off to that arrogant Lu young master."

Hong er POV

I started to get used to my daily routine and I'm getting excited for today's lesson. I always like to pick herb when I was living with granny. I know some herbs but I don't know the names, ironic right?

I went to our residence's infirmary, wow the racks that keep the herbs are amazing. It had names on every drawer boxes. I looked around with amazement, I didn't realize there was someone looking at me. " Hey! Who are you?"

I turned around and saw a girl around my age glaring at me. I realized that I entered the infirmary without knocking.

Hong er: " I'm sorry, I forgot to knock. I am the Di daughter of the Great General Xu, Xu Feihong. And you are?"

The girl: " I am…"

Before she could say her name, an old man closed her mouth. He looks fl.u.s.tered.

Shu Huatuo: " I deeply apologize for my granddaughter's behavior. My name is Shu Huatuo and I'm Xu residence's physician. Young miss had met me before, right?"

Hong er: " Hm? Oh! The chef and the one who checked my eyes, I'm sorry for not recognizing you. Our meeting was too weird that I didn't look at Shu laoshi's face."

Shu Huatuo: " It's okay miss. But can I request something Yong miss?"

Hong er: " Yes, what is it?"

Shu Huatuo: " I have this granddaughter of mine that would like to learn medicine too. Can she study together with you? She is the same age as Young miss."

Hong er: " No need to be anxious, I would love to have a friend that is the same age as mine. Hey hey, what is your name?"

She glared at me like no tomorrow. Maybe she is not used to people talking with her. Even though we are the same age, she is way shorter than me. Actually I am too tall for girls around my age.

Shu Zhiruo: " My name is Shu Zhiruo, nice to meet you."

Hong er: " Agghh, you are too cute."

I hugged her. She immediately smacked my head with her small hand. It feels like a kitty punch, oh yeah, why I never thought about that? She looks like a kitten, yeah, an angry kitten.

Shu Huatuo: " Ruo er! Don't hit the Miss!"

Shu Zhiruo: " But!"

Shu Huatuo: " No buts!"

Hong er: " It is fine Shu laoshi. Actually I like how she treats me. Since I became the Young Miss, people were so polite to me that I feel kinda lonely. Ruo er, can I call you that?"

Shu Zhiruo: " Why the hell would I let you call me that?!"

Hong er: " I-I can't?"

Shu Zhiruo: " Urgh!" ' Don't use that puppy eyes on me'

I keep staring at Ruo er.

Shu Zhiruo: " Do whatever you want."

Hong er: " Really?! Yey! Ruo er, from now on we are friends okay?"

Shu zhiruo: " What?!"

Hong er: " No?"

Shu Zhiruo: " Fine fine fine, don't look at me with those eyes."

I was so happy I hugged her and lifted her. I spun her around.

Hong er: " Yey! My first friend!"

Shu Zhiruo: ' I literally can see a puppy tail wagging around. And how can she be this strong, damn it.'

After the lesson, I was talking with Ruo er. She is way better than me in medicine kind of thing. Sometimes she explained it to me when I don't understand.

Shu Zhiruo: " So, do you want to be a doctor too?"

Hong er: " Nope, don't want to. Too many works."

Shu Zhiruo: " then why are you even here?"

Hong er: " Hahaha, calm down Ruo er. I study medicine for myself. You know, I want to be the strongest woman in this realm. But I will get hurt a lot if I want to reach that. So I learn these things so I won't die easily. Hehe. I got a super smart friend here. If I got hurt then you will treat me."

Shu Zhiruo: " Do whatever you like."

Hehehe, she is shy. She has a sharp tongue but she is very kind. Look, she agrees with all my requests. I won't be lonely in the future anymore.
