Chapter 815: Chapter 816: Digging Your Own Grave Chapter 815: Chapter 816: Digging Your Own Grave Uncle Han burst out laughing, âGuoying, such a spirited and perceptive student who also gives generous gifts, will you really not regret refusing her?â
âIâm just afraid I wonât be able to teach her!â Liu Guoying said irritably.
Chiang Xiao immediately said, âTeacher, Iâm very teachable, obedient, serious, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and Iâm not even afraid of your temper and sharp tongue!â
Liu Guoying: ââŠâ
Uncle Han laughed heartily again.
âExactly, where could you find such a student?â
Liu Guoying looked at Chiang Xiaoâs mischievous appearance and couldnât help wanting to flick her hand. But inside, he was moved.
âRight now, I donât have much talent or conditionsâŠâ
Chiang Xiao felt elated upon hearing this, clearly, he was wavering. She immediately said, âTeacher, are you looking down on me? Just because there arenât good opportunities and you canât arrange an exhibition for me, does that mean you have nothing to teach me?â
âWhy are you getting so cocky, girl? I know you paint well, but youâve got plenty of little flaws!â Liu Guoying found it hard to restrain himself when she suggested he had nothing to teach her.
He saw the flaws in the paintings Chiang Xiao had done before, and he had intended to point them out to her, but since she wasnât his student, he was afraid that she might feel uncomfortable if he did so.
And now this girl was doubting whether he had anything to teach her?
Liu Guoying was not going to take it lying down.
âYouâre amazing, Teacher! I thought my paintings were perfect,â Chiang Xiao jumped right on the bandwagon, âSo, Teacher, why donât you take me on?â
Liu Guoying couldnât help but be amused by her brazenness.
âFine! You want me to take you, huh? Besides this orchid, I want one more thing!â
âWhat is it?â Chiang Xiao asked, delighted.
âLately Iâve heard of a kind of tea snack thatâs expensive but delicious! If you can bring me two boxes of them tomorrow, Iâll take you on!â
He had heard by chance that this tea snack was quite soothing and could relieve constipation. His wife recently hadnât been able to eat anything, and if he could really get those tea snacksâŠ
But he had also heard that the tea snacks were pricey, and the shopkeeper didnât run a store, so he didnât know where people bought them from. He didnât have any contacts and had no idea where to even start asking.
Chiang Xiao definitely wouldnât be able to get them.
Liu Guoying was just getting a whim, seeing her like that he wanted to set a difficult task for her.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his request, Chiang Xiaoâs expression became somewhat strange.
âTeacher, are you serious? If I can produce two boxes of tea snacks, youâll accept me?â
âAbsolutely!â Liu Guoying became suspicious when he saw her reaction, âDonât think about making them yourself, though. These are Youqingweiâs tea snacks, and Iâve heard the boxes are quite special, so you canât fool me.â
Chiang Xiao was on the verge of laughing.
Youqingwei?
She couldnât be more familiar with it!
She hadnât expected that Liu Guoying would have heard about her familyâs tea snacks, looks like there might be another batch of orders coming in!
The next day, when Liu Guoying saw the two boxes of Youqingweiâs tea snacks that Chiang Xiao presented to him, his jaw almost hit the floor.
âTeacher, my grandparents are inviting you to dinner at our place tonight. Consider it a ceremony for accepting me as your disciple,â Chiang Xiao said.
âWait, did I agree to it?â
âUncle Han is a witness, Teacher, youâre not young anymore, you canât go back on your word!â
Chiang Xiao, in this life, seemingly forced her way into becoming his disciple!
After having that meal and induction feast, Liu Guoying found out that the Youqingwei tea snacks were actually made by Chiang Xiaoâs family, and he immediately felt like he had dug a hole and buried himself!
