Chapter 60 Leia……
She poked Chen Yuan’s face with her hand, her heart racing as if it were about to jump out of her chest.
This was the first time she had the chance to approach her sleeping teacher…
In the past, Chen Yuan was a strict teacher, and also like a kind father.
That’s how Chen Yuan thought.
But in Cloey’s eyes, he was her only warmth and support in the cold palace.
He was a teacher, a brother, and… a prince…
Girls always yearn for their prince charming who saves them.
However, the palace had countless rules.
Numerous eyes were watching her closely…
So, she tried hard to suppress her true feelings…
Now, he was no longer that strict teacher; he couldn’t even cast a single spell.
He was… just sleeping right in front of her.
The feeling was so wonderful…
It made her unable to control the urge to get closer, to get even closer…
She pouted slightly, her fingers poking at Chen Yuan’s brows…
“Why are you frowning even in your sleep, teacher…”
Immediately, Chen Yuan moved uncomfortably.
She quickly withdrew her hand and her body back onto the bed.
A few seconds passed, and there was no sound.
Chen Yuan only turned over.
He flipped to the edge of the bed, getting a little closer to it.
Swallowing hard, Cloey tightly closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep, but when she heard no movement, she peeked out again…
Then, discovering that Chen Yuan had not woken up, she leaned out once more, slowly getting closer to Chen Yuan.
Until she reached her previous position, even closer to Chen Yuan.
She could hear Chen Yuan’s faint breathing, and a few strands of her hair fell onto his face…
This time, if she just moved a little further, she could… kiss him…
Once the thought emerged, it lingered in her mind and wouldn’t fade away.
If Yu could do it, then she could surely just kiss his face; her teacher wouldn’t be angry, right…
Just… a kiss on the face…
Teacher…
That’s all—it’s normal for a student to like their teacher…
Surely, a teacher wouldn’t reject that…
Looking at the face that was so close, her face turned red…
Then she closed her eyes, gasping…
…..
The next day.
When Chen Yuan woke up, it was already ten in the morning.
Cloey was no longer in the room; it had been tidied up and was no longer in disarray.
And at this time, she should have gone to school, right?
Chen Yuan wasn’t worried about that; Cloey had always been a good child.
Always worry-free…
But what about Yu? Did she stay at home instead of going to school?
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suddenly grew alert, looking around to confirm that there was no potential crisis!
Then, he opened the room door and peeked out.
Even though it was his own home, why did he feel like a thief?
Realizing this, Chen Yuan still remained cautious.
What if Yu suddenly appeared and tied him up again while Cloey wasn’t there?
But being this cautious seemed pointless?
If Yu was at home, he wouldn’t be able to resist…
Thinking further, if Yu really was home, Cloey wouldn’t leave him alone, right?
With this thought, Chen Yuan relaxed a bit.
Stepping out of the room, like a dramatic actor, Chen Yuan made a gesture as if holding a g*n, slowly making his way to the eerily quiet living room.
No one was there.
It was as quiet as when he used to live alone.
If it weren’t for the broken television and wardrobe in the bedroom, and the snacks piled high on the living room shelf, it all felt like a dream…
Yu was not here.
It seemed she really did go to school; he hadn’t expected her to obediently go, which was quite surprising…
Could it be that Cloey had dragged her along?
Sitting down in front of the sofa, Chen Yuan prepared to grab some snacks to make do as breakfast.
Only then did he notice two notes left on the coffee table.
One read: Teacher, there’s an egg pancake I made in the kitchen, kept warm; please remember to eat, I took her away, don’t worry. —Your student?
The last part seemed to be added later?
Who was that?
This girl… who did she learn from?
But keeping Yu away was great; she really knew how to make him happy at any time…
No wonder she was my best student!
The other note read: darling~ I’m gone~ you be good at home~ wait for me to come back~?????? — Love you~
Alright, this one was definitely written by Yu.
Clearly, the culprit who taught Cloey how to draw hearts was found…
All day long…
Chen Yuan put the two notes away and headed to the kitchen to find that egg pancake.
From the warming pot, he took out a golden, oily pancake, sprinkled with chives and sesame seeds, still warm.
It looked pretty good?
Cloey actually had this skill?
How come he didn’t know.
Chen Yuan took a bite, and it was surprisingly delicious?!
Could this girl have learned it online or something?
So impressive?!
Chen Yuan wondered if it was time to consider sending her to some culinary school to promote this talent!
In the future, she could earn money to buy a house?
This skill could easily start a business; much better than someone who concocted poison!
Then, while eating, he went to the fridge to see what he could prepare for the child to nourish her body.
Both of them had military training today and needed to build strength, so he decided to make braised pig trotters; this thing gives strength to the feet.
You are what you eat.
Not having pig trotters, he planned to go out and buy some.
Coincidentally, he wanted to see if he could find the other three like he had done with Cloey; he couldn’t just ignore them while they were out…
Sigh… hopefully, if there were many people, they could calm down a bit.
It wouldn’t be so chaotic with five people, would it?
So, Chen Yuan tidied himself up and put on his shoes to head out.
Creeeak—
He opened the door.
Someone new had moved in across the way.
A girl was dragging her luggage into her room…
Their eyes met…
Chen Yuan froze instantly…
The familiar figure, familiar appearance…
The only difference was that the pigtails defying gravity were gone…
“Leia, Leia…”
The girl dragging her luggage dropped it when she saw Chen Yuan, spilling it all over the floor…
“Commander…”
