Pei Yao spoke sincerely, "Is it still not too late for me to take back what I said earlier?"
Qiao Yun turned over, her eyes closed as she spoke lazily, "No copying, not allowed, claiming it's my student's work."
Pei Yao felt truly miserable as he recalled his school days and the fear of being punished by Qiao Yun with copying assignments.
Still, Professor Qiao was harsher.
Pei Yao whined, "Alright, I'll copy. I'm also bringing you a gift tonight, hehehe..."
Qiao Yun made a comment with a single sentence, "Laughing like that, you sound like a eunuch. If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
Eunuch Pei fell silent, and it took a while before he responded, "Chirp."
At least he's self-aware.
Qiao Yun didn't take Pei Yao's mention of a gift to heart; she got dressed and went downstairs.
Su Mian was discussing the evening's arrangements with the servants when she caught a moment to call out.
"Qiaoqiao, you've got a parcel."
