Chapter 236 Family and Country in Dire Straits (6)
Gu Yao feigned a troubled expression, "Then naturally we must follow the employer's opinion."
Yan Yu seemed surprised by Gu Yao's words. Judging from his behavior, the person in front of him must not have been able to let go of what he learned in his childhood, otherwise he would not have been able to keep it up for so many years.
But now they're actually teaching Western culture.
Despite his doubts, Yan Yu's expression remained unchanged. "But I would like to hear you tell me about your childhood."
At this point, Yan Yu lowered his eyes slightly, "I have been frail and sickly since childhood. As a man, I wear women's clothes and have basically never left the mansion. You can tell me about things outside."
The boy's slightly sickly face was tinged with a forlorn expression, as if it held endless sorrow.
It was as if glistening tears would fall from those alluring eyes at any moment.
Gu Yao's smile remained unchanged; he merely raised an eyebrow slightly and spoke with a rising tone, "That's certainly possible, but..."
At this point, Gu Yao paused slightly, as if he was somewhat hesitant.
Intrigued, Yan Yu looked up and asked, "Just what?"
Seeing the curious gaze of the person in front of him, Gu Yao's face showed a hint of regret, "However, young master cannot miss his lessons, is that alright?"
Gu Yao's smile was kind, but Yan Yu had a bad feeling about it.
But I couldn't sense anything was wrong.
He could only nod.
Seeing the fish foolishly taking the bait, Gu Yao's smile widened even further.
He reached out and adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
He opened the book box and took out the schedule that the original owner had customized.
Even before the original owner returned to China, Yan Xi had already contacted him and directly hired him to be Yan Yu's teacher.
And when it comes to disguise, one must do it to the best of one's ability.
In some ways, he could be considered a responsible teacher.
Yan Yu stared at the densely packed schedule on the timetable, and the smile on his lips froze.
Gu Yao, seemingly oblivious, excitedly began explaining the "rationality" of his course arrangement.
Listening to the knowledge of mathematics, physics, and even psychology, Yan Yu felt a headache coming on.
When he got excited, Gu Yao would even point things out to people.
After explaining the original arrangements, Gu Yao seemed a little unsatisfied and pointed to the few missing rest periods in the middle.
"Since Young Master Yan is so eager to learn, I will naturally teach him everything I know. I will use this rest time to teach Young Master Yan about the Confucian Four Books and Five Classics."
Yan Yu rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and tactfully offered his thoughts, "Sir, isn't this... too much?"
Gu Yao was taken aback upon hearing this, as if he did not understand why Yan Yu would say such a thing.
The handsome young man's face showed a look of disappointment. "Young Master Yan, how can you think like that? You're never too old to learn, especially since you've already fallen so far behind. Of course you need to work harder, don't you think so, Young Master Yan?"
Gu Yao's expectant yet scrutinizing gaze fell on Yan Yu's face. Yan Yu's smile froze, but he still forced a smile and replied, "Of course."
Seeing the little brat get his comeuppance yesterday was really heartwarming.
Gu Yao lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a small sip of tea.
Yan Yu looked up and saw that the steam from the tea made the young man's gold-rimmed glasses fogged up, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly behind them.
This was the first time Gu Yao had worn glasses, and he hadn't expected them to fog up so easily, making his vision somewhat blurry.
He sighed, put down his teacup, took off his glasses, and took out a handkerchief from his book box to gently wipe the lenses.
Yan Yu stared at the person, watching as the person gently removed their gold-rimmed glasses. The eyes that had originally held a hint of shrewdness behind the lenses now appeared somewhat unfocused.
Some parts are not very focused.
Yet it possesses a silent allure.
She was kind of adorably dazed.
Anyone who isn't blind would be able to ignore Yan Yu's burning gaze.
Gu Yao turned his head to look at him, his eyes filled with doubt. "Young Master Yan, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?"
His handsome face held a hint of confusion, as if he didn't understand what Yan Yu was looking at.
Without her glasses, her clear eyes seemed to see right through you, revealing the ugliness in people's hearts.
Because he wasn't wearing glasses, his eyes looked somewhat empty, making him appear particularly lost.
Yan Yu looked away uncomfortably, coughed twice, picked up his teacup and gulped down the tea.
"nothing."
Gu Yao smiled and raised his hand to put on his glasses.
The glasses regained their clarity.
Yan Yu observed, feeling slightly regretful.
She still looks the same as before.
Gu Yao, who always wore glasses, always seemed somewhat aloof.
Gu Yao glanced at the Western clock on the wall. It was almost lunchtime. He put away his schedule and was about to get up. "Let's stop here for today. I'll come back in the afternoon."
Upon hearing this, Yan Yu looked up at the clock.
"Why don't you stay for lunch, sir? You've come so late this morning. I've been waiting for you for quite a while."
The boy's tone was gentle, with a hint of complaint and coquetry.
Gu Yao bent down to fold a handkerchief, and upon hearing this, his eyes flickered. He then gently placed the handkerchief on top of the book box.
His glasses had slipped down his nose, so he raised his hand to adjust them.
Picking up the book box, Gu Yao stood up, his tone slightly indifferent. "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Yan, but I already have an appointment today. I was a little late this morning because the children at home were making a fuss."
When Gu Yao mentioned "the children in the family," the coldness in his brows melted away slightly.
It looks vivid and lively.
Although it was just ordinary talk, Yan Yu inexplicably detected a helpless and indulgent tone in it.
Her smile faded slightly. "Is that so? Well, that's unfortunate of the day."
Gu Yao observed Yan Yu's expression and smiled silently to himself.
He nodded, got up and walked out, seemingly in a hurry.
Yan Yu looked at the young man's somewhat distant and indifferent actions, his eyes filled with a dark mist, baring his fangs and claws.
It's like raising a demon, lurking, just waiting to break free of its shackles.
When the guards outside saw Gu Yao come out, they went forward to lead him out.
Just as Gu Yao was about to step out of the courtyard gate, Yan Yu looked up at him, then looked away.
Gu Yao?
He didn't remember that this gentleman had any children at home.
