"...I hope so."
...
「The next day.」
The rain had finally stopped, and the sky had cleared.
Chen Yi washed up and changed his clothes early. He didn't just throw something on, either; he chose a formal brocade robe.
This prompted Xiaodie to ask him repeatedly about his plans for the day.
Chen Yi didn't hide it from her. He smiled and said, "I'm going to Guiyun Academy at noon."
"Young Master, you aren't scheduled to start teaching the Calligraphy Dao for another two days. Why...?"
Before she could finish, Xiaodie seemed to realize something. She stared at him without blinking.
"I know."
"Young Master, you're going to deal with all those people who've been coming to visit you, aren't you?"
Chen Yi reached out and tapped her on the forehead. "Aren't you a clever one."
"It's not that I'm clever. I just know the Young Master wouldn't stand by and let the Eldest Miss suffer."
"Hm?"
"Young Master, don't look at me like that. It's true, you wouldn't."
