Chapter 170 Grabbing the Little Rabbit by the Neck
"You're not going?" Xu Liu'er was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise.
She quickly walked to the soft couch, looked at Xie Siyuan's little face, and asked gently, "Tell your mother, why don't you want to go?"
Xie Siyuan's voice was icy, "I just don't want to go."
He doesn't want to go to school with that crybaby!
Xu Liu'er was a little anxious. "You started your studies later than other children. If you don't start school soon, you will really fall far behind others. What will you do in the imperial examinations?"
The imperial examination? Xie Siyuan narrowed his eyes.
What is that? It's useless!
"Anyway, I'm not going." Xie Siyuan turned his head away, ignoring Xu Liuer.
Xu Liuer pursed her lips, unsure of what to do.
"Xie Siyuan, what did you say?" A dignified voice suddenly rang out from behind the two of them.
Xie Zhongzhi strode closer with a cold expression.
Upon seeing him, Xie Siyuan immediately became obedient, quietly lowering his head.
"Speak." Xie Zhongzhi wouldn't let him get away so easily, and said sternly.
"I... I don't want to go to school," Xie Siyuan said reluctantly.
Xie Zhongzhi's expression was serious. "This isn't a matter of whether you want to or not. You have to go to school tomorrow. There's no room for discussion."
"And you must be attentive in class tomorrow and not cause trouble."
Xie Siyuan clenched his small fist in his sleeve.
He didn't speak or raise any further objections, and the matter was settled.
Xu Liuer watched from the side and couldn't help but sigh softly.
She has a gentle nature and can't bear to hit or scold her children.
So much so that now that Xie Siyuan has grown up, he is not afraid of her at all, nor does he listen to her.
Finally, I must thank Zhongzhi for coming.
The next day, in the front yard.
Xie Jue led the young page into the courtyard.
His young pageboy was named Shan Rong, and he was much older than Xie Jue, already nine years old.
It was Qin Jiuwei who prepared this for Xie Jue, fearing that he would be bullied by Xie Siyuan today, so she specially found an older child to protect him.
The two met inside the house, but ignored each other and each found a place to sit down.
Xie Siyuan glanced at Xie Jue, his eyes filled with coldness.
At this moment, Zhong Xunxi walked into the house.
Upon seeing him, Xie Jue immediately stood up and bowed, "Hello, Mr. Zhong."
Zhong Xunxi nodded slightly.
Xie Siyuan also noticed that someone had arrived. He looked up at him but didn't say anything.
Finally, Zhong Xunxi spoke first, his eyes warm and smiling, "This must be Young Master Siyuan. I am your mentor, Mr. Zhong."
"Mm." Xie Siyuan nodded slightly, which was his response.
Xiao Qing, who was serving him, couldn't help but purse her lips, feeling somewhat uneasy.
According to etiquette, the young master should stand up and bow to Mr. Zhong to greet him.
But the young master showed absolutely no intention of bowing...
Xiaoqing raised her eyes and cautiously looked at Mr. Zhong in front of her.
Surprisingly, Mr. Zhong showed no sign of anger.
Zhong Xunxi was indeed not angry.
Last night, the young mistress sent someone over to tell him about the situation.
He had anticipated this situation last night.
Xie Jue had been studying for a while, and the two were not at the same pace.
Naturally, they should be taught separately.
Today is Xie Siyuan's first day here, so Zhong Xunxi will teach him first.
Xie Jue was writing the homework he had assigned.
Zhong Xunxi sat next to Xie Siyuan and began to teach him to read.
"Young Master Siyuan, look at this character..."
Zhong Xunxi spoke patiently, but Xie Siyuan didn't even look up, instead fiddling with his fingers.
I didn't speak or pay him any attention.
Zhong Xunxi patiently repeated the sentence, her tone slightly sterner.
This time, Xie Siyuan looked up at him coldly, then lowered his head again.
Upon seeing this, Zhong Xunxi was not angry but laughed.
Just as the young mistress said, the new young master who arrived today will not listen to his lecture.
If he had encountered a student with such a poor attitude towards learning before, he would have patiently and earnestly advised and guided them.
The goal is to guide the other person onto the right path.
But last night, the young mistress sent a message.
If someone doesn't want to learn, he shouldn't force them.
Respect the fate of others.
He was invited by the young mistress, so naturally he obeys her in everything.
Zhong Xunxi finished speaking, and whether or not Xie Siyuan listened was up to him.
After finishing his lecture, Zhong Xunxi assigned him homework and wrote it down on a piece of paper for him.
Xie Siyuan glanced coldly at the paper, then casually flicked his right hand, knocking it to the ground.
Soon it was noon.
Xie Jue and Xie Siyuan will not go back at noon.
The kitchen will send a servant to deliver the food.
Both children were hungry and wolfed down their food.
After finishing his meal, Xie Jue dashed off into the courtyard.
Xie Jue now eats and sleeps with the little rabbit every day.
At night, he would put the little rabbit's nest on the low couch next to his bed so that the little rabbit could sleep with him.
They are inseparable during the day.
I would bring it with me when I came to class in the front yard.
Xie Jue took the little rabbit out of the cage and put it in the grass nest.
"Hehe, I've already eaten. Big Black, are you hungry too?"
Xie Jue took out the vegetable leaves she had prepared that morning and fed them to the little rabbit.
Seeing the little rabbit happily munching away, Xie Jue also broke into a big smile.
But as they were feeding her, Xie Jue suddenly started to have stomach pains.
He put down the vegetable leaves, his little face scrunched up.
Before leaving, he reassured the little rabbit, "Don't worry, Big Black, I'll be back soon."
When Xie Siyuan stepped out of the house, he saw the rabbit huddled alone in the grass nest.
He stepped over to the rabbit.
A few strands of hair obscured his cold eyes.
I couldn't see the emotions in his eyes.
As if sensing the approaching danger, the little rabbit's ruby-like eyes were filled with terror.
Her body trembled slightly with fear, and her ears were pressed tightly against her back.
Xie Siyuan squatted down next to the little rabbit, a very subtle glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
It's like they've found some fun toy.
There were some leftover vegetables that Xie Jue hadn't finished feeding the rabbit earlier. Xie Siyuan picked them up, held them to the rabbit's mouth, and said in an icy voice, "Eat, eat quickly!"
The little rabbit trembled even more violently and desperately shrank into the corner of its nest.
He was filled with fear of Xie Siyuan in front of him and dared not get close to him at all.
Seeing that it refused to eat, the faint light in Xie Siyuan's eyes immediately went out, replaced by a raging fire.
His face quickly darkened.
Xie Siyuan threw the vegetables aside, and suddenly changed the direction of the hand that was reaching for the little rabbit, grabbing the little rabbit's slender neck.
The little rabbit struggled in terror, kicking its limbs wildly, desperately trying to break free from his control.
A faint "squeaking" sound came from his throat.
Seeing the little rabbit struggling in pain, a surge of pleasure shot from the bottom of Xie Siyuan's heart to the top of his head.
His face began to contort and go mad, and his hands clenched tighter and tighter.
He muttered to himself, "He won't listen to reason, so he'll have to suffer the consequences! He deserves to die!"
Just as the little rabbit's struggles were waning and its life was hanging by a thread, a series of hurried footsteps approached.
"What are you doing?!"
