Jiang Yule ignored his outstretched hand and remained seated in the middle of the sofa. She simply smiled politely at him. At that moment, she embodied the image of a rich and noble lady, and this scene was the first thing Li Sui’an saw when he came down from his room.

Ouyang Xuan did not feel awkward about the rejection and quietly withdrew his hand before sitting back down. To change the mood, he praised the unique and beautiful flowers and plants in the Li Family’s courtyard.

Jiang Yule eyed the man discreetly. A man who could meet the colossal standards that Li Xingyi had for the tutor of his sole heir had to be extraordinary, and Ouyang Xuan was just that. He was a graduate from one of the top universities in the country and was one of the youngest among his peers to earn his doctorate. After graduating, he was even invited by his university to enlighten his juniors. He was a scholar who was awarded all sorts of accolades.

He was a person who was not only well-educated, but also had good looks. He looked handsome and gentle, with a distinct scholarly atmosphere. He was the kind of person that would make anyone subconsciously relax their guard when they see him.

Jiang Yule admitted that he was indeed pleasing to the eye, but he was far from the muscular type that she liked. His small body looked even more delicate than her own. No matter how she looked at him, he looked like a weak little chick to her.

She introduced Li Sui’an, who had walked beside her, “Li Sui’an, say hello to your new tutor, Ouyang Xuan. From now on, he will come over to teach you daily.”

The little dumpling-cheeked boy was about to frown when she called him by his full name, but he knew better than to disgrace the Li Family’s name by misbehaving in front of guests. He looked at her with a complicated expression before turning to nod at Ouyang Xuan. “Hello, Teacher Ouyang. My name is Li Sui’an.”

This was the tutor that his uncle had personally arranged for him. He had to perform well.

Ouyang Xuan smiled and nodded at Li Sui’an. “Hello, Young Master Li. As you’ve just heard, my name is Ouyang Xuan, but you can call me Teacher. I believe that we’ll get along very well.”

Ouyang Xuan used a soft tone with Li Sui’an, but inwardly, his thoughts were very different. ‘You’d better be obedient, brat. I’ll be your stepfather in the future.’

Ouyang Xuan wanted to say more, but Jiang Yule suddenly stood up and said, “Li Sui’an, bring the tutor to your room. You two should get to know each other.”

Li Sui’an nodded his head in a rarely seen docile manner. Although the little boy was still young, he was very aware of his social responsibility. No matter how much he quibbled with Jiang Yule, they were still family, and he would never disrespect his elders in front of outsiders.

Ouyang Xuan’s gaze darkened slightly. The relationship between Jiang Yule and Li Sui’an was different from what he had expected. The Jiang Yule described in the book was insignificant to the Li Family, but it seemed that that description was not true. The servants treated her with respect and adoration, and even the male protagonist himself obeyed her.

It seemed that he had to change his plans.

‘I know that the seemingly proper ladies always have the most fun behind closed doors and are the easiest to seduce!’ Ouyang Xuan grinned slightly at the smiling Jiang Yule. He believed that victory was in his grasp.

After Li Sui’an brought Ouyang Xuan upstairs, Jiang Yule asked Aunt Wang to return to whatever she was doing. Once she finished her cup of jasmine tea, Jiang Yule asked Wang Jianguo, ‘If I eliminate the transmigrator, can I drive him out of this world?’

Wang Jianguo replied, ‘Yes, he has to be eliminated. After a transmigrator is dealt with, their soul will be expelled from this world, and the original owner of the body will be able to return. However, you cannot do this personally.’

At the end of the day, Ouyang Xuan suppressed the frustration in his heart as he explained the workbook exercises to Li Sui’an. Even though he finally got his hands on a body with a high IQ, this little brat was so smart that he was making him look stupid. He could grasp every problem and concept he explained to him in one go. ‘Ugh, how am I supposed to show off how good I am?’

The little boy sat in front of the study table and said without raising his head, “Teacher, why don’t you go down for a glass of water and some fresh air. I’ll do these questions on my own for a while.”

Ouyang Xuan had been waiting to hear these words. He felt that he did not need to maintain his image in front of a child and eagerly accepted the chance to leave. “Alright, I am a little thirsty.”

Then, he stood up and walked towards the door with eyes filled with impatience. Just as he was about to head downstairs, he suddenly heard the sound of a violin coming from a room at the end of the corridor.

Based on the knowledge of the original owner of his body, he could tell that the song being played was “The Last Rose of Summer” by Ernst. The gentle sound of the violin held a slow and steady rhythm. The tone of the song gradually became sorrowful, and it conveyed the performer’s attachment to youth and love as well as a faint sense of loneliness.

Ouyang Xuan’s body walked towards the room at the end of the corridor uncontrollably. At this moment, the violin stopped.
