The Guide Wants to Obey the Script

Si Qiaorong lowered his voice subconsciously, “Did Xiao Di tell you about the engagement ceremony between Xiao Chu and Feiran?”

 

Xiao Zhenyun nodded, and moving his wheelchair, he turned off the lights and left the room, closing the door behind him. Si Qiaorong added some details, specifying the exact day at the end of the month. He also expressed his gratitude and casually mentioned, “Last Sunday, I came back early and had dinner with the owner of Peach Blossom Club. At that time, I really wanted to clear up the misunderstanding that caused harm to you. However, I was afraid that my good intentions might lead to unintended consequences, letting your previous enemies know that you saved that person who isn’t dead yet… It’s really not easy to do good deeds. Zhenyun, you did a good deed and still bear a bad name… It’s not easy. Brother had many misunderstandings about you in the past. I apologize to you. I hope you can forgive your brother this time.”

 

“…” Xiao Zhenyun finally knew how his stories had reached Si Di and Si Qiaorong’s ears.

 

Si Qiaorong’s apology was one thing, emphasizing ‘family’ implied that his attitude had softened. The most crucial point was to tell Xiao Zhenyun, ‘You better behave in the future. I have connections everywhere, and I know all kinds of people. If you want to be with my son, don’t think about getting involved in those shady things.’

 

If he could, Xiao Zhenyun wouldn’t want to go, but the plot mission was there, and what choice did he have?

 

After ending the call, Xiao Zhenyun took the elevator downstairs at a leisurely pace. During this time, the capable Xiao Nian had already arranged the room for the Xiao Jiali, ordered dinner for four, instructed the intelligent mechanical butler to make tea, and filled the bathtub with hot water. He also paid the water, electricity, and internet bills online.

Xiao Jiali: “…”

 

Who would have thought an eight-year-old would be in charge of the household?

 

“Take care of your spiritual domain,” Xiao Zhenyun said in a joking manner after a fifteen-minute mental grooming session, feeling a bit tired and lazy. He playfully advised Xiao Jiali, “It’s troublesome if something goes wrong.”

 

Xiao Jiali quickly nodded vigorously, promising to heed the advice and keep it in mind.

At half past nine at night, Si Di suddenly rushed out from the second floor, frantically tidying up his disheveled clothes and hair while looking for someone. The living room was quiet, with a dinner set for one person on the table, now cold. Si Di carefully listened to the heartbeat and breathing sounds inside the villa, then sniffed the air for any scents. He walked straight to a room door, knocked, and then entered to find a large Xiao family inside, all doing the same thing: hunched over the table, holding pens, doing homework.

 

“Senior!” Xiao Jiali stood up excitedly but then hesitated, not daring to continue.

 

“He can’t do several of the problems,” Xiao Zhenyun put down his pen, “Si Di, help him.”

 

Si Di: “…”

 

Si Di cleared his throat and loosened the restraint on his wrist. “I haven’t had dinner yet.”

“There’s dinner left for you on the table; it’s just cold. Heat it up before eating… or there are eggs and vegetables in the fridge. You can make yourself a bowl of noodles.” Xiao Zhenyun said, “By the way, you seem to be good at cooking, judging from the dessert you made for Si Chu. Is that right?”

 

Before Si Di could say anything, Xiao Zhenyun had already made it clear: “Then, how about you teach Xiao Jiali to solve these problems first, and when you go to the kitchen to cook noodles later, make a little extra. I’m getting hungry.”

 

“…”

 

In the end, Si Di went to check Xiao Jiali’s homework and discovered a serious issue with the way they were taught. Si Di couldn’t understand why these seemingly simple problems appeared so confusing. However, after scolding Xiao Jiali, he diligently provided a complete set of answers on several sheets of scrap paper. He advised Xiao Jiali that the method he had been taught was unnecessarily complicated and needed to be changed. Xiao Jiali complained that this was the method his instructor had taught him and showed Si Di the notebook with the instructor’s model answers.

 

After reading it, Si Di’s brows furrowed deeply. He asked for the instructor’s name and exclaimed, “How can this person still be an instructor, corrupting the minds of young students like this?” He then made a call and expressed his displeasure with the instructor. How could he remain an instructor in the tower and mislead his students? Messages were exchanged, and the instructor was scolded again.

 

On the other end, the instructor after hearing Si Di’s name didn’t dare to make a sound.

 

Xiao Jiali initially thought that the senior had some issues with him, but it turns out the senior just has a bad temper?… But how come he heard that the senior is a very gentle person when he’s in the tower?

 

Little wolf seems really irritable today. Xiao Zhenyun thought as he sipped warm water.

He closed the homework book in which he had written a few random questions. Anyway, no one was going to check it. Rolling his wheelchair behind Si Di, he poked his tail.

 

Just a moment ago, Si Di was cursing vigorously, but he fell silent instantly, covering his tail in disbelief as he turned to look at Xiao Zhenyun.

 

“Go cook noodles,” Xiao Zhenyun mouthed.

 

“…”

 

Hurry up. He pinched the furry tail again.

 

Si Di silently hung up the call and walked out of the study.

 

Fifteen minutes later, all four of them were enjoying their late-night snack – a bowl of fragrant vegetable and egg noodles. Only Xiao Nian’s bowl had added chili, while the other three were very plain. The sentinels also had an extra small bowl to scoop out the noodles and let them cool.

 

Si Di watched as Xiao Zhenyun finished his meal, and at the moment he put down his chopsticks, he asked, “Little uncle, can I stay over?”

 

Xiao Zhenyun looked up at him, and Si Di immediately presented the reason he had thought of in advance, “As you know, I rely heavily on you because of my spiritual domain issues. It’s best if I can stay by your side all the time. You don’t have to do mental grooming for me every day, but guide elements are essential.”

 

In fact, there was no need to find any excuses at all. Just say, ‘I want to stay,’ or even without saying a word, make a phone call to instruct the servant to bring his luggage in, and Xiao Zhenyun wouldn’t kick him out. Moreover, just a few hours ago, his own father had entrusted him to Xiao Zhenyun.

 

But Xiao Zhenyun quite liked to see Si Di wrap his selfishness in the guise of a good cause, so he smiled and asked, “Stay by my side all the time? What about when I go to White Tower during the day? Are you going to follow me into the academy?”

 

“…” Si Di fell into thought.

 

One day later, he, with his high level of initiative, got the solution, “White Tower has already signed the papers. As long as I can maintain emotional stability for more than 20 hours a day for the next week, they will agree to let me serve as an assistant teacher for the fifth-grade class 2 at White Tower for a semester.”

 

But his job as an assistant teacher would require some effort, not as comfortable as Xiao Zhenyun’s.

 

And what’s interesting is that when Si Di was communicating with White Tower, a teacher who was against having a sentinel with emotional instability as an assistant teacher asked, “What if Si Di has emotional instability during his teaching period?” The headmaster of White Tower, who signed the transfer agreement without even lifting his head, replied, “It would be great if he goes really unstable; it’s a chance to give practical combat experience to the guide students passing by.”
