He followed Hu Gan into the Academy. The difference from the Inner Academy was that the students here were generally smaller than the Inner Academy. There were fewer plants and more life. After all, the outer court was not in the forest. It was closer to where humans lived.
Ever since he entered the academy, Xiao Yan felt as though he had returned to the school days of his previous life. He saw the teacher explaining on the stage and the students listening attentively below. Although they were not talking about language and mathematics, Xiao Yan still felt a sense of familiarity. They were both academies, but the inner court could no longer be called an academy. It was a small society. They didn't hold classes to teach, and they all cultivated on their own. Even their lives depended on themselves. Unlike the outer court, which had classrooms and many classes.
He followed Hu Gan through the teaching area and arrived at the dormitory area. Along the way, Xiao Yan felt extremely happy and close. It also caused the longing in Xiao Yan's heart to deepen.
"We're here. This is my home. Let's go in and have a cup of tea first.”Hu Gan said enthusiastically.
Looking at the courtyard in front of him, Xiao Yan did not decline and readily agreed,"Then it would be impolite of that brat to refuse."
"Haha, alright, let's go in.”
Just as he entered the courtyard, a crisp voice sounded. "Grandpa, you're back."
Xiao Yan's voice had just sounded when he saw a beautiful figure pounce onto Hu Gan's body. She hugged Hu Gan and said happily,"Grandpa, why are you back so early? I'm so bored alone.”
"Hehe, my good granddaughter, did you miss me?”Hu Gan dotingly patted the girl's head.
"Yes, I miss Grandpa so much. No one is accompanying me. I'm so bored.”the girl said coquettishly.
"Ke ke, alright, don't you see that there are guests? Come, let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter Hu Jia. She is very mischievous and has been spoiled badly. Xiao Yan, don't mind her.”
Hu Gan introduced.
"Ke ke, how can that be? How can Hu Jia be so innocent and cute? I can't wait to like her.”Xiao Yan said with a smile.
When Hu Jia saw that there was an outsider, she got down from Hu Gan's body in embarrassment. She coquettishly said to Hu Gan,"Humph, smelly grandpa, someone didn't even tell me and caused me to make a fool of myself.”
When Hu Gan heard his granddaughter's rebuke, he laughed and said,"Ha ha, it's my fault, alright? That, this is the Elder of the Inner Academy, Xiao Yan. You can call him, call him big brother.”
Hu Jia saw Xiao Yan's handsome appearance and tall posture. Her pretty face blushed slightly as she said to Xiao Yan,"Hello, Xiao Yan ge-ge. I am Hu Jia. Please take care of me.”
"Ke ke, hello. I am called Xiao Yan. I can't say that I care for you. Let's learn from each other.”Xiao Yan did not know what to say as he randomly spoke. Looking at Hu Jia's shy and moving appearance now, it was really difficult to associate her with the unruly and willful Hu Jia in the original novel who had homosexual tendencies.
"I don't know if Hu Jia suffered some kind of stimulation in the future that would cause her to become like the original, otherwise…" Xiao Yan fantasized in his heart.
"Alright, you guys don't have to be so polite here. Hu Jia, go and brew a pot of tea. I want to have a good chat with Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan, let's go in and sit."
Hu Gan instructed.
"Oh,"
Hu Jia responded and went to make tea.
Xiao Yan and Hu Gan came to the living room of the courtyard and sat down before chatting.
"Xiao Yan, I heard from that old man Su Qian that you have broken through to the Dou Zong class not long ago. Is this true?”Hu Gan asked.
"Hehe, I was just lucky and barely broke through.”Xiao Yan humbly replied.
"Heroes really come from young people. But you're really a monster, unlike old men like us who are stuck there for the rest of our lives.”Hu Gan said somewhat dejectedly.
"Vice Principal, you don't have to belittle yourself. I believe that you will also break through in the near future.”Xiao Yan comforted. He also felt that he was very lucky in his heart. He was not like Hu Gan and Su Qian who were stuck at the peak of the Dou Huang class and were unable to find a way to break through. He could be considered to be very lucky.
"Hehe, I was just feeling emotional for a moment. I also believe that I will definitely break through.”Hu Gan said with a firm expression.
At this moment, Hu Jia's tea had already been brewed. After pouring a cup for Xiao Yan and Hu Gan, she looked at Xiao Yan with eager eyes.
When Hu Gan saw his granddaughter's manner, he laughed and said,"Ke ke, Xiao Yan, come and try the tea that my granddaughter has brewed. She has been making tea for me since I was young. Come and try it.”
Xiao Yan also lifted his teacup and took a sip. Hu Jia saw that Xiao Yan did not speak for a long time and asked somewhat anxiously,"How is it? Can you say something?”
Xiao Yan stopped teasing her. Hence, he said,"Hehe, it's not bad. Even someone like me who doesn't know anything about tea feels that it's good. It tastes very fragrant and delicious.”
Xiao Yan was not exaggerating at all. It was really very delicious. It was just that Xiao Yan was somewhat influenced by the original work and did not believe that Hu Jia was the one who soaked it, so he was somewhat hesitant.
"Hehe, really? Do you like it?”Hu Jia said happily.
" Yes, it's not bad. I like it." Xiao Yan replied.
"Ha ha, it's good that you like it. If you want to drink it, just ask Hu Jia to make it for you.”Hu Gan's eyes scattered as he said.
When Hu Jia heard her grandfather say this, she blushed in embarrassment.
When Xiao Yan heard Hu Gan's words, he felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked at it. Xiao Yan felt even more uneasy as he thought,"Could it be that this old man wants to take Hu Jia, this little girl, as his wife? However, it's not very possible. Even Hu Gan shouldn't be like this. Even though I'm very outstanding, it's impossible for Hu Gan to be pushed to me by his granddaughter so easily. Could it be that there's some conspiracy?"
Actually, Xiao Yan was not wrong. Hu Gan wanted to entrust Hu Jia to Xiao Yan. Hu Gan had always wanted to find a good home for Hu Jia because Hu Jia did not have parents since she was young and was brought up by Hu Gan alone. He was afraid that no one would take care of Hu Jia after he passed away, so Hu Gan had always been paying attention to some young talents.
A year ago, when Xiao Yan went to the Inner Academy, Hu Gan had already received the news. Hence, he had been paying attention to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan did not disappoint Hu Gan. From Xiao Yan's arrival this time around and Hu Jia's reaction earlier, Hu Gan felt that Xiao Yan was the person he was looking for. That was why he said those words that caused one to ponder.
Seeing Xiao Yan become somewhat restrained because of his words, Hu Gan knew that this matter could not be rushed. Hence, he opened his mouth and said,"Xiao Yan, I just remembered that there are still some things that I need to handle. Let Hu Jia accompany you around. Hu Jia will arrange a place for you to rest. I will take my leave."”
Hu Gan did not give Xiao Yan a chance to speak. After he finished speaking, he quickly left, leaving Xiao Yan and Hu Jia awkwardly standing together.
