Xu Chang'an asked himself whether his performance today could still be considered meticulous. He hadn't made any mistakes, and though he was worried, he didn't let it show so as not to affect the mood of the women enjoying the banquet.
Yet unexpectedly...
Was he discovered by his teacher?
Could it be that the fleeting look he gave Yun Qian was noticed by Li Zhibai?
But—
Did his teacher care about him that much?
From what he knew of Li Zhibai, if he didn't ask for help, Li Zhibai wouldn't usually inquire proactively.
So he instinctively felt that something was off.
Xu Chang'an wasn't wrong; she did know Li Zhibai well. But the one who noticed his bad mood was Zhu Pingniang, whose observation skills were even sharper. He momentarily forgot Ms. Zhu's presence.
Xu Chang'an didn't understand, but he was only looking at the night view over the lake with Li Zhibai, stubbornly saying, "Teacher, why do you say that? What would cause me to be uneasy?"
