Chapter 98 My Mentor Mei Ankun

  Attracting readers is just the first step, what's more important is retaining them - loving wisdom with feeling.

  Because of my reason, my parents have experienced a disaster, but I don't know anything about it. At this moment, I and my little friends are on the way to class, but we find that many classmates are curiously looking at us, most of whom are girls, which is also a characteristic of our college.

  From their whispers, I roughly knew the reason. Unexpectedly, we gained a lot of popularity through yesterday's incident! Among them were girls who secretly sent affectionate glances. I casually took a look at my friends' performance and found that they were all responding to the girls in different ways.

  I know that before long they will find their own little companions. I suppose then they won't follow me around every day, just like how I'm no longer as dependent on my brother as I used to be. People always have to grow up eventually.

  Just as I was sighing, I had unknowingly arrived at the classroom. Tian Jiao Mei and Ye Meng Ting were already seated at the first table, so we walked over and sat down without hesitation.

  "What took you so long? Class is about to start!"

  Ye Mengting's high-pitched voice came out, and the bored classmates around her shot their gazes over, but she remained unmoved. I secretly admired this girl's thick skin, feeling inferior to her, and explained:

  "It wasn't yesterday's trouble, this morning I went to the teaching office to check on the situation; but now it's fine, it's already been resolved."

  "Oh...I see, as long as it's resolved, that's good." Ye Mengting recalled yesterday's events and felt a slight sense of relief.

  "Little brother, I'm really sorry that I couldn't help you; my grandfather said that the punishment was proposed by Vice President Long, and it's not that he can't veto the punishment, but this punishment is a bit excessive, however, for you, it might not be a bad thing. Only what you get through your own hard work will seem more precious."

  Tian Jiao Mei heard about yesterday's events and apologetically conveyed her grandfather's intentions to me; so that's how it was, I smiled and said:

  "Your grandfather is right, this is a well-considered disciplinary decision; don't worry, I will work hard, what I lost I will definitely work to get back, and even more!"

  "Good, where there's a will, there's a way! This classmate must be the one called 'Little Genius' Yiyue, indeed has great ambition! Hehe."

  Suddenly a strange and somewhat familiar voice came over, and the little friends looked up in surprise.

  Only see:

  A middle-aged man with eyes sparkling with ideals, wisdom, knowledge and courage, although in his middle age, shows the unique brilliance of an eighteen-year-old youth. His two eyes are black and shiny, with sharp gaze, as if piercing through something; he is about 1.78 meters tall, with a head of black hair neatly draped over his shoulders, wearing a green shirt fluttering in the wind, looking elegant and refreshing!

  The person who came was none other than the youngest, or rather, the one with the smallest age among the teachers in the college - Mei Ankun, who is sixty years old this year, equivalent to my parents' age, but because of his low cultivation level, he looks even more mature and older.

  As the college did not provide his background, most people do not know about his life, but one thing is certain that Mei Ankun is the lowest cultivation among the college teachers and also a knowledgeable and talented person.

  Mei An Kun, with a normal physique, has been infatuated with various studies for many years and has already reached the pinnacle of literary accomplishment. However, his cultivation has remained at the peak of the solid foundation stage and cannot be further advanced. In this world where martial arts are supreme, students admire his exceptional literary talent, but not many classmates are willing to choose him as their mentor, even among those in the literature class - who wouldn't want a powerful mentor?

  But Teacher Mei didn't mind, every time the instructor selected students he didn't participate, just saying, new students who weren't selected by other instructors can be given to me, I'll do my best to bring them up; Teacher Mei indeed lived up to expectations, this can be seen from him being evaluated as an excellent instructor at the opening ceremony.

  This information is the result of what I have been paying attention to these days. Why did I pay attention to this information? Because I can freely choose a mentor, choosing a mentor is such an important thing, so I must pay attention to it.

  My criteria for choosing a mentor are three: first, they must be publicly recognized; second, they must be able to teach me something truly useful; and third, they must not see through my secrets, which is also the most important point.

  Here is the translation:

  Firstly, I started paying attention from the opening ceremony of school, my tutor must be an excellent tutor, and the college has assessment standards for excellent tutors, which is publicly recognized; Secondly, in the past few days, I went to the teaching office to check the teacher's information, in terms of martial arts, the path of cultivating truth can only be explored by oneself according to the experience of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, in literature, although having a university degree has some foundation, it is still not enough, so I need a senior tutor in literature; Thirdly, hehe, finding a tutor with low cultivation is also a good choice.

  After such an analysis, the one who satisfies all three points is indeed Teacher Mei Ankun.

  "Hehe, I'm surprised how I know you?"

  Just as I was stunned, Teacher Mei chuckled and said.

  "Uh-huh." I nodded and said, indeed surprised.

  "Haha, your phrase 'Weak water three thousand only one scoop' is truly on everyone's lips! I've long wanted to witness the splendor of the 'Little Genius', and heaven didn't disappoint me, as I saw your writing talent again at that awards ceremony. You're really awe-inspiring! Now, seeing you come to attend my class makes me feel it's just too wonderful!"

  When it comes to literary matters, he gets excited like a peer child. On the one hand, I unconsciously feel relaxed and comfortable; on the other hand, I decided to choose Professor Mei as my supervisor, but I didn't expect Professor Mei's evaluation of me to be so high, I'm actually embarrassed, with some shy words:

  "Teacher Mei is too kind with her praise. I'm just a student and can't compare to you. I came here today because of your reputation, and I hope you'll continue to guide me in the future."

  Seeing my implicit expression, Teacher Mei heard the sound of the qin and knew the elegant meaning, happily saying:

  "Life is hard to find a bosom friend, as long as you are willing, you are always welcome to come and stay at my place; when the time comes, we can explore together poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, just thinking about it makes one feel wonderful!"

  Teacher Mei spoke as if she were an intimate friend, and I was infected by the atmosphere, feeling delighted and laughing:

  "How about I go back with you after school today? I suppose your teacher's home is filled with a literary atmosphere, and I'm eager to experience it."

  "Alright! It's settled then."

  Miss Mei replied readily, just then the class started. Miss Mei apologetically glanced at me and I smiled and nodded in agreement to start the lesson. My classmates all gave me a thumbs up, admiring me beyond words.

  Arithmetic class, no need to mention the content, it's just some content from learning numbers to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. With a university degree, I'm taking this course, it's simply - elementary school stuff.

  After one class, I was the most active student, although it's a simple lesson, but the lecturer is my admired teacher, how can I not cooperate well?

  After class, as agreed, I went to Mr. Mei's home with him, bidding farewell to my little friends, and we chatted and laughed all the way there.

  Tianjiao Mountain, on the upper half of the mountain, there is a simple two-story small building, in front of the courtyard are planted various orchids, several fruit trees and a lawn, the sun shines brightly, blue sky and green tiles, what a beautiful scene.

  "Next month is our anniversary, and then it's just us two at home, how about that?"

  Mr. Mei pointed at the small building and asked, his tone revealing a sense of self-satisfaction. I thought it wasn't bad either, and smiled in response:

  Simple and elegant, quiet and refined, very much in line with the teacher's style.

  "Haha, that's right, this is exactly what I wanted to tell you. I have a simple and elegant wife named Luo Wenshan, and also a quiet and gentle daughter. The environment here isn't just my own achievement, okay?"

  "Haha, Teacher must be very happy now, congratulations!"

  "That's settled! You've come at just the right time, my daughter has just turned one month old and hasn't been named yet. Why don't you give her a name? Don't hesitate, this is fate, isn't it?"

  At the mention of his name, I couldn't help but smile wryly and replied:

  "If the master's wife does not object, the student will offer a name for reference, how about that?"

  Miss Mei nodded in agreement, and before she knew it, they had already arrived at the courtyard. At that moment, a window on the second floor opened, revealing a beautiful face, accompanied by a charming voice:

  "Hubby, you're back! Did you bring that student with you?"

  "Hmm, I'm back. How are you and your mother? This classmate is the one I mentioned to you before, known as 'Little Genius' Yiyue, aren't you excited, haha."

  Teacher Mei was a bit uncertain about the way, but one of the teachers' wives had a bright look in her eyes and chuckled.

  "Are you the one who's been waiting for a month? Hehe, come on up and sit down, must be hungry, I'll go cook something for you to eat."

  "Hello Aunt Luo, I'm just a student, don't bother about me, I just came to sit for a while and will leave soon."

  I didn't dare ask her to cook, I said with a decline. Teacher Mei pulled me along as we walked upstairs, saying:

  "Hehe, why don't you stay for lunch before leaving? I'll cook it myself, so don't worry. Since she got pregnant, I've been taking care of her."

  "Alright, I'll give you a hand then."

  Upon entering the house, what catches the eye first is the books on the bookshelf. The sheer number of books and their rich variety are beyond words; in short, the fragrance of ink wafts everywhere, but before one can fully take it in, they have already entered the kitchen.

  Then, two big men busied themselves cooking...

  At the dinner table, Aunt Luo was like a curious baby, asking this and that, of course, all about some poems I wrote, and I answered one by one.

  Finally, mentioning the topic of naming, unexpectedly Luo Ayi agreed immediately.

  I took it from the little girl and muttered to myself:

  "Little sister is naturally quiet and elegant, lovely, let's call her Yajing."

  Looking up, I saw Mr. and Mrs. Mei's delighted expressions, I knew they agreed on the name, but it wasn't over yet, they said together:

  "Let's get another alias."

  "En, I have a predestined relationship with little sister, let's just call her Yuanyuan."

  "Good name, Moon Fate, it's just that you and I have a fate with the moon, there's a hidden meaning, it's settled like this."

  Miss Mei said happily, and everyone laughed.
