The moment he opened the door,
Chen Yi saw Pei Guanli on the floor, her head cocked to the side as she listened intently.
'What is Brother-in-law saying to that little barbarian?'
'I can't hear a thing. Why can't they speak up...'
"You mean, loud like this?"
"Gah!"
Pei Guanli jumped in fright at Chen Yi's sudden shout.
When she saw it was him, Pei Guanli's face flushed red, and she giggled sheepishly. "Brother-in-law, I—I wasn't eavesdropping. I didn't hear a thing."
Chen Yi flicked her on the forehead and chided with a smile, "I don't know what goes on in that head of yours all day."
"I'm leaving."
"Brother-in-law, you—you're going back already?"
"Yes. I have some business at Guiyun Academy."
Pei Guanli hummed a dejected "oh," then followed closely behind him.
Chen Yi glanced at her sideways and said with a smile, "Just hang in there for a few more days. This will all be over soon."
Pei Guanli pouted and nodded. "I know."
