Chapter 41: Slight Illness (Part 2)

  "Miss, could you speak louder?"

  "Hmph!" Gu Huanli gritted her teeth and roared, "What's wrong with being a fallen angel? To know that living is not only a kind of hope, but also a kind of... You can live for a long, long time, isn't that a kind of greed? Since you have it, then committing any one of the seven deadly sins is possible."

  Cassidy raised his head, gazing deeply at her. After a while, he jumped down from the windowsill and handed Gu Huanli a cup of warm red tea from the table, "As long as Miss listens, I naturally won't have any other thoughts." He smiled very innocently, with an air of satisfaction like a nine-tailed fox that had just swallowed a small hen.

  "How did I become disobedient? But being obedient doesn't mean having no principles." Gu Huanli firmly refused, but still held the teacup and took a big sip.

  Good grief, she really doesn't get why Cassidy wants to be an art teacher, even though he claims to have graduated from the art department. But but but... Doesn't this guy also have degrees in finance, business administration, and trade? If all else fails, can't he just go teach English at a university?!

  Furthermore, big brother can hand over some of the company's business to him, so that he is busy enough to have no time to sleep, no time to eat, and no time to read books...

  By then, Gu Huanlin wouldn't be a carefree and unrestrained Mountain Great King?

  Hehehehe...

  Hahaha...

  Cassidy looked at Gu Huanli with a soul that was clearly not in this place, and he couldn't help but sigh, "It's really, still the same old self. Doesn't care if the person next to him has finished speaking, and just sinks into his own delusional world." He smiled and added some water to his tea cup, "I remember, Miss doesn't like the attire of 'Dunkelmond'?"

  Gu Huanli took a deep breath, "Liking is one thing. But brother said it before, trying on the wedding dress can only be done this week. After all, the young master of Rui Xing Group's wedding is on Sunday."

  "Miss, when you make an appointment with someone, you should keep your promise."

  "Yes, yes, I know. This is the basic principle of being a human." Humph, no matter what, you put on an air as if you've eaten more salt than others have eaten rice, teaching people a lesson, aren't you afraid of choking to death?

  "Since you've already asked for leave, miss, just honestly follow me."

  "Thanks, I'm used to driving my own car." Just thinking about the dazzling car parked in the school parking lot made her want to punch this clumsy angel named Cassidy. No matter how you looked at it, he was a decent-looking and somewhat gentle big man, but he had to drive such a flashy sports car. This wasn't coming to school as a substitute teacher, it was just showing off and flirting with girls!

  Causing a stir among the unmarried female teachers at school, even high school students from neighboring schools couldn't help but linger by the school gate just to catch a glimpse of him. Honestly, she didn't want to become the enemy of the unmarried female teachers and high school sisters. Ah, being the target of everyone's attention or the enemy of women, she wasn't interested in the slightest.

  If it weren't for not wanting to part with her classmates, and that little bit of selfishness, she would rather transfer schools than appear in the same place as Cassidy. Thinking about all the possible situations that might arise in the future... Ugh, it's really a headache!

  So she absolutely doesn't want to!

  His soul flew away! Cassio suddenly placed his hand on Gu Huan's forehead.

  "Ah!" Gu Huanli was startled and immediately came to her senses, jumping up from the table and swiftly dashing to the door, suspiciously staring at Cassidy with extreme vigilance, as if ready to make a run for it.

  "Oh? That miss is pitiful." Cassidy let out a relieved sigh and casually tidied up the items on his office desk, "I've already sent Old Wang back."

  "Eh! Eh? Eh." Wū, could it be that this afternoon she must take his car? Forget it, forget it. Since brother is at ease, what can she say? Under someone else's roof, even if you don't bow your head, you still have to bow your head. Gu Huanli sighed, "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go. Even if you want me to follow you to the ends of the earth right now, I won't leave your side!"

  Cassidy's heart softened, and he teased, "No wonder everyone in the Gu family likes Miss. With a small mouth like that, speaking words as sweet as honey, who would bear to see Miss suffer even half a bit of bullying?"

  "That's when I realized!" Gu Huanli sighed and muttered, "Obviously it's effective on everyone else, but not on you. Alas, failure, failure." Well, they were natural enemies to begin with! Even if she had softened her stance today, it didn't mean she was truly convinced or willing to concede to this clumsy angel. Yezi, would she compromise just to see him smile? Humph, that's even more impossible!

  "Let's go!" Cassady dragged her by the collar, just lifted her out of the campus and threw her directly into the sports car.

  "I'm so dead. How can I show my face to people from now on?!" Gu Huanli cried out in grievance, tomorrow, she would be beaten up by her elder sisters! The teachers wouldn't let her off either! Waaah, she's going to become a dropout girl!

  "It's not like it's a convertible, no one can see," Cassidy said with a light laugh. "Even if someone did see, we could just switch schools. After all, the young master has already found several girls' schools for the miss."

  "A girls' church school!" Gu Huanli almost jumped up from the sofa, "Please, that kind of nun-like convent school, I'd rather die than go! I'm a normal person, I want to live in a normal environment!" A girls' church school, what a joke, not to mention the strict hierarchy, but the daily life is extremely dull and tasteless, she didn't want it at all.

  Even if she studies hard, even if she has no social skills, it doesn't mean she has the potential to stand out from that kind of conservative school. Gu Huanli is absolutely not interested in spending 6 (??) or 8 (!!) hours every day reciting scriptures? Is she going to talk about God all the time in the future? That's no different from quoting Confucius!

  "What's to be done?" Cassidy leaned over to fasten Gu Huanlin's seatbelt, "Perhaps Miss doesn't need to attend the girls' school... As long as Miss can reach middle school entrance level, I think Young Master would be delighted to see Miss skip grades or even win a few academic competition championships."

  "YOU!" Gu Huanli's finger trembled as she pointed at Cassidy, "You despicable and sinister holy angel! If I were to actually bring out my true abilities during the exam, wouldn't people think I'm a monster and want to study me?!" Her eyes bulged wide with rage, looking just like an enraged cat.

  Cassidy drove the silver-gray sports car through the traffic with ease, "But it's just from 4th grade in China to 7th grade in the US, I think this shouldn't be a difficult problem for Miss, right?"

  Seventh grade? Isn't that skipping three grades? No way! She doesn't even want to skip one grade! Gu Huanlin, who had digested all of Cassidy's words, hugged her head and wailed, "Throwing my soul into this parallel world is not enough, I also have to pretend to be a genius girl? Not skipping, not skipping, I'd rather die than skip."

  "Here." Cassidy handed something over.

  "Oh." Gu Huanli took it over, looking at it dazedly, "What's the point of giving me a phone? Not to mention I already have one, even if I didn't, you don't need to give me one!"

  "I'm so sorry, it's my phone." Cassidy narrowed his eyes, with a hint of teasing in his smile. "Please let the young lady explain to the young master herself. For example, she had a cold and cough today, and even had a low fever. For example, at noon, she didn't eat well, only eating a little salad..."

  "Cheng Cheng, where do you want me to go? I'll go wherever you want, isn't that enough?! " Gu Huanli tossed her phone onto the back seat of the car and began to play with the shell wind chime hanging from the rearview mirror. "Hey, tell me honestly, were you a spy in the demon realm before or something?! Or do you have a habit of peeking at people? Ahhh, no way, are you actually a perverted angel?!"

  She gazed at Cassidy's profile, and to be honest, her private tutor was quite handsome. His flowing ash-blonde hair, bright sword-like eyebrows, and deep blue eyes shone with a rational light, but looking at people wasn't just about appearance, the person in front of her was more terrifying than someone who was rotten inside despite their beautiful exterior.

  Especially when he had a hint of a sacred smile at the corner of his mouth, it was even colder than the night air. Completely revealing his true identity in a clear and elegant way, one could say that it was almost cold. So she couldn't understand why he would have the leisure to come to their school as an art substitute teacher! If nothing else, going to church to be a part-time pastor seemed like something he should be doing!

  Cassidy stared straight ahead and asked casually, "Like it?"

  "Huh?"

  "Are you in love with him?"

  "I have absolutely no interest in teacher-student romance."

  "If it wasn't for the teacher, then it would be fine? Oh, no wonder Miss reacted so strongly to you going to your school as a substitute teacher."

  "I'm so sorry, you've completely gone to Java."

  "Which girl is interested in whom?" Cassidy seemed to think for a second, "It's that boy who patted your back just now, called Mo something..."

  "Mo Tianbo. What's with the 'mo' this and that, sounds like you're talking about touching something." Gu Huanli retorted without hesitation.

  "Oh!" Cassady nodded, "Heh heh." He chuckled lightly and said no more.

  It's all over, I've exposed my own trump card. Gu Huan Lian Yu was slow to react and was now sulking with her head in her hands, like an ostrich hiding in a sand dune. After a long while, she finally spoke up in a low voice, "That was just a childish infatuation, later on, it dispersed, and I forgot about it."

  Cassidy didn't laugh, but instead said softly, "For you, Miss, it's just a memory, but for Chuyan You and Mo Tianbo, it's their present. Please learn to immerse yourself in it, rather than watching coldly like an outsider."

  "Is his brain a gathering place for gossip? This boring and moldy fool! Gu Huanli said sternly, "Please put the files you've seen in the deepest part of your mind, instead of taking them out to savor or even compare. OK?"

  "You can control your emotions, but you cannot manage your brain's thoughts."

  "Alright, alright, that's the brain's problem, not yours, so think whatever you want. But your mouth is something you can control, I sincerely hope that in the future, I won't hear such words again, this type of topic. Gu Huanli looked at Cassidy's profile, seriously saying, "You say you want to immerse yourself in this world, but aren't you still like an outsider, sneering at ordinary people's joys and sorrows?"

  Cassidy gazed ahead at the road and said slowly, "However, Miss, if you're willing to work hard, in my opinion, Young Master would be delighted to see you skip grades."

  "Absolutely not." The student was already under a lot of pressure with school, and if they were to be suddenly skipped ahead and thrown into an unfamiliar place like America, wouldn't that just be torture?

  Cassidy suddenly asked, "Do you like this wind chime?"

  "Hmm, don't you think the sound of the breeze rustling and shells colliding sounds like the sea's calling? Gu Huanli smiled mischievously as she leaned back, half-closing her eyes, and said with a self-satisfied tone, 'Fortunately, I'm not someone who has a habit of stealing things from others. So, you can rest assured.'"

  Cassidy gave her a swift glance but said nothing.

  On the other hand, Mo Tianbo was panting and leaning against the basketball frame, thinking to himself: "Huanli's body should be much better by now! I wonder if she can still come to school tomorrow..."
