The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 85 Training (1)_1
Chapter 85: Chapter 85 Training (1)_1
Thinking of this, Situ Xin couldn’t sit still any longer. Since she couldn’t go out, she hurried to the gatekeeper grandpa. "Hello, gatekeeper grandpa," said Situ Xin. The watchman had a good impression of her; after all, no other child at the kindergarten was more attractive than Situ Xin.
"What can I help you with, child?" the gatekeeper asked kindly.
"Gatekeeper grandpa, I need to get a hold of my brother, could I borrow your phone to make a call?" Situ Xin spoke with her sweet voice, coupled with her pitiful expression, making it hard for anyone to refuse.
"That’s fine, but do you remember the phone number, kiddo?" the gatekeeper readily agreed upon hearing that it was such a small matter.
"Yes, I remember. Thank you, gatekeeper grandpa." Situ Xin picked up the telephone and dialed the number Xia Yujie had given her.
"Hello, hi there." Xia Yujie answered the phone.
"Hello, I’m Situ Xin from the little Class 1, I need to talk to my brother." As there was a stranger present, Situ Xin didn’t care what the other person said and straight away followed her own thoughts.
"Hello, what?" Xia Yujie on the other end was a bit confused, not quite comprehending what was going on.
"Ah Jie, who’s calling?" Liu Yuxiang watched Xia Yujie’s expression change as he stuffed food into his mouth and asked.
"Oh, my brother isn’t here," said Situ Xin with a look of disappointment. "Then when he comes back, you tell him not to forget to pick me up this afternoon, okay?" Having said this, Situ Xin hung up the phone. She thought to herself, "I hope Xia Yujie is smart enough to get my message."
"So, your brother isn’t there?" Since they were in the same room, the gatekeeper kept an eye on Situ Xin. He had heard every word she said on the phone.
"Yes, my brother isn’t here, but when he comes back, his classmate will tell him. Thank you, gatekeeper grandpa. I’ll head back to class now." Situ Xin perfectly acted the part of a little child.
"No need to thank me. If you need to make a call again, just come over," said the gatekeeper. He had a very good impression of Situ Xin and liked this beautiful, sensible little girl.
It wasn’t until Situ Xin mentioned "Don’t forget to pick me up this afternoon" on the phone that Xia Yujie had an epiphany, finally realizing what Situ Xin’s call was about.
"Ah Jie, who was it that called just now?" Watching his friend’s expression change continually, Liu Yuxiang couldn’t help but ask curiously.
"A young lady. She told me her name and class," Xia Yujie replied.
Liu Yuxiang looked at Xia Yujie with confusion, wondering if it was really necessary to make such facial expressions just for mentioning a class and a name. "What’s my master’s name then?"
"Situ Xin, she’s in little Class 1. You finish lunch, clean up, and go pick her up then," Xia Yujie stood up as he said this and walked towards the underground training field. He needed to train hard to improve his skills.
That afternoon, Liu Yuxiang, with the class and name provided by Situ Xin, arrived at little Class 1. The teachers of Situ Xin’s class had all recently graduated from college; they were young and single. And Liu Yuxiang, in his twenties, was a handsome mixed-race man. As soon as he appeared at the doorway of Situ Xin’s class, the two teachers in the class actively made their way to the entrance.
Watching her teachers hurry gleefully, Situ Xin muttered to herself, "Beauty is a curse." She forgot that she herself was the real beauty. As for whether it brought calamity, that was yet to be seen.
"May I ask who you are looking for?" Teacher Qiu asked in a feigned delicate way. Situ Xin was taken aback by this, noting how different Teacher Qiu was now compared to her usually thunderous self in class.
"Can I be of any assistance to you?" Another teacher also spoke gently, batting her eyelashes non-stop at Liu Yuxiang.
Liu Yuxiang looked at the two women in front of him, inwardly scornful. "What on earth are these two? Disgusting," he thought. If it weren’t for the task at hand, he would have turned and run. "Hello, I’m looking for Situ Xin."
"You’re Situ Xin’s?" Both teachers had a moment of realization upon hearing that he was looking for Situ Xin. Could it be that this handsome man was Situ Xin’s relative?
"Oh, I’m her brother. You must be her teachers. I’ve just returned from abroad, and I thought I could pick up Situ Xin and spend some time with her this afternoon. Is that okay?" Liu Yuxiang asked with a smile.
"Of course, that’s okay. You’ve come back especially, after all. I’ll go call Situ Xin for you," said Teacher Qiu, seeing the handsome man smiling at her; nothing seemed impossible to her now.
"Thank you so much," Liu Yuxiang breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn’t expected picking someone up to be such a tiring task. He figured he should get a reward from his master later.
Situ Xin, who had been keeping an eye on the door, didn’t expect Liu Yuxiang to win over her teachers in such a short time. When Teacher Qiu told her warmly, "Situ Xin, your brother is here to see you. He just took leave for you," Situ Xin internally lamented: "Charm truly does wonders."
Liu Yuxiang, seeing the little girl following Teacher Qiu, paused for a moment. But it lasted only a second before he returned to normal. He hadn’t seen Situ Xin’s face last night; it was dark, and she had deliberately pulled the brim of her cap down, obscuring her features.
This sudden sight of a delicate and adorable girl resembling a doll took him aback; he couldn’t associate the girl before him with the child who had shown martial prowess and acted in a way far from childlike the evening before.
"I’ve brought Situ Xin to you," Teacher Qiu said, maintaining her smile. Situ Xin was sure that if there had been a mirror, Teacher Qiu would be practicing her best smile, showing a standard eight teeth.
"Thanks, I’ll take Situ Xin now," Liu Yuxiang said as he came over and took Situ Xin’s small hand.
It wasn’t until Situ Xin and Liu Yuxiang were seated in the car that Liu Yuxiang still couldn’t quite believe it. "Are you really my master?"
