Xi Xuanyao lifted the quilt and lay down, leaning against the head of the bed to read a book. The dim light shone on his face, softening his sharp jaw, and his tightly pursed lips revealed a hint of sexiness for no reason.

There was a cool scent of cedar in her nose. Ruan Yin felt as if she was being embraced by him. She couldn't help but cover her head with the quilt. It was over. She was really a little bit bewitched. Thinking about that kiss made her feel a little dizzy. Her cheeks were hot. No, she had to control herself.

"Aren't you bored?" a voice came from above.

Ruan Yin said stubbornly, "It's not stuffy." It was so hot. After waiting for a few minutes, she couldn't stand it anymore and quietly pulled the quilt down a little. As soon as she showed her eyes, she was caught by Xi Xuanyao. His eyes expressed in a joking manner, "Isn't it not stuffy?"

She said embarrassedly, "It's a bit stuffy right now, I want to get some fresh air." She felt a little guilty.

After reading for a while, Xi Xuanyao turned off the lights and lay down. Even though they had slept together for a few days, he felt particularly nervous today for some reason. He was not the only one who felt this way.

Ruan Yin couldn't sleep either. She slept all afternoon. She quietly turned around and opened her phone to watch some hypnotic scenery videos. She thought Xi Xuanyao didn't know. In fact, he could still see it even if he dimmed the light in his hand. He said helplessly, "Aren't you sleepy?"

"Did I disturb you?" Ruan Yin turned around and asked embarrassedly.

"It's not good for your eyes to look at your phone in such a dark place," Xi Xuanyao said with a hint of concern in his tone.

Ruan Yin put down her phone obediently and sighed: "But I can't sleep, why don't we chat?" Her eyes lit up when she said this.

"What do you want to talk about?" Xi Xuanyao cooperated.

"How about we play a quick question and answer game? You ask me three questions first, and then I ask you three questions." Ruan Yin was very excited.

"Sure," Xi Xuanyao agreed readily.

Ruan Yin perked up, "What are your favorite colors and foods?"

“Any dark color is fine, I don’t have a favorite food”

“What’s your favorite place?”

"No!" Maybe he can go anywhere he wants, so he has no obsession with places, anywhere is fine.

Ruan Yin was a little disappointed, but she also felt it was expected. He looked like a cold person with no desires. But she would not be discouraged. She became more courageous as she faced more setbacks. "What do you want to do most?"

"Work"

Ruan Yin was a little crazy. Who would want to work the most? When she was working, she complained in her heart eight hundred times a day. She said with despair: "You won, it's your turn." After asking for a long time, no one gave her any useful answers.

In the darkness, Xi Xuanyao seemed to sense Ruan Yin's madness, and he curled his lips and asked, "What's your favorite color?"

“I like all bright colors, but blue is my favorite.”

"Favorite sport?"

“I don’t like sports”

"Do you like animals?"

"do not like"

Well, no one likes it. It feels like the two of them are torturing each other with their questions and answers. The air is quiet for a moment, and Xi Xuanyao asks: "Are you sleepy?"

No one answered, only the sound of her shallow breathing told him that she was sleepy. He chuckled. Every time she said she was not sleepy, she was also the first to fall asleep.

When Ruan Yin woke up in the rising sun, Xi Xuanyao had already gone to the company. After she finished washing up, she heard the doorbell. She thought of the etiquette teacher Xi Xuanyao mentioned yesterday, and hurried to open the door.

Unexpectedly, it was Aunt Zhou. Zhou Cui placed breakfast on the table with a smile and said, "Master, your calculation is really accurate. Sure enough, you woke up at this time." Originally, it was delivered a long time ago. The master said that the mistress was still sleeping and would deliver it at 9:30. The time was really accurate.

Ruan Yin felt a little embarrassed. She seemed to have slept too much recently. "When did he leave?"

"Eight o'clock"

Just as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang again. This time it was a woman in her forties who looked very intellectual and elegant. She introduced herself, "I'm the new etiquette teacher. My last name is Cai."

"Teacher Cai, please come in." Ruan Yin opened the door and let her in, then politely asked, "Teacher Cai, have you had breakfast?"

"I have eaten. Mrs. Xi hasn't eaten yet?" Cai Min asked casually.

It was the first time that Ruan Yin heard someone call her Mrs. Xi. She was a little surprised. She smiled and nodded, then led the other person to the restaurant.

While eating, Cai Min observed carefully and found that Ruan Yin's etiquette was not bad, she just didn't pay attention to many things.

After Ruan Yin finished eating, she said: "Madam's etiquette is generally good, but she needs to pay attention to the details."

Ruan Yin sat upright, like a student in class, and listened to the teacher continue: "It's good that you don't make any noise when eating, but there's more to dining etiquette than that. You have to bite off the noodles and use a small spoon to drink soup. Don't eat pork ribs or pig's trotters or other foods that affect your image in formal occasions."

Ruan Yin froze. She loved eating spare ribs and pig's trotters, but she comforted herself that she just had to not eat them in formal occasions.

"Sit on a chair with your knees close together, your feet parallel, and only sit on one-third of the chair. Remember not to open your legs or cross your legs."

Ruan Yin looked down at herself. She was halfway sitting on the chair and her legs were not straight. After hearing this, she quickly adjusted her sitting posture.

Cai Min nodded in her heart, as long as she was obedient, she was afraid that she would be disobedient after being invited here, and then said: "She must also be neat and tidy and dress appropriately at home."

Ruan Yin looked down at her sleeping posture. Great, she made a mistake again. She thought that Xi Xuanyao had gone to work and she was alone at home, so it was comfortable to wear this.

Cai Min smiled and said, "These are all superficial things. The etiquette that is truly rooted in the inner self is education and tolerance. These are subtle changes, not overnight achievements."

"For example, I said above that you should be well-groomed and well-dressed at home, but if you are already wearing pajamas, then treat it as a pajama party. Being calm, confident and generous is the most important thing."

Ruan Yin suddenly understood, it seemed to be the case. She thought about it and felt that even if Teacher Cai was wearing pajamas, it seemed that people would feel that this was a trend, rather than inappropriate attire. She nodded.

Cai Min continued: "Walking, sitting and lying down are elegant and relaxed, neither rigid nor deliberate."

She stood up and demonstrated it. It must be said that her every move was elegant and charming, which was very pleasing to watch.

Ruan Yin tried to walk a few steps, but she felt more and more awkward. She even used her hands and feet together and seemed to have forgotten how she walked before.

"Don't sit in the same posture as me. Choose a posture that suits you best, makes you feel comfortable, relaxed and confident. Keep your back straight, look straight ahead, sit neither too fast nor too slow, and stretch in moderation. You are similar in form but not in spirit, like a puppet," Cai Min commented.

Ruan Yin calmed down and thought about the spirit of her movements, then demonstrated them again, and received a barely acceptable evaluation.

"Let's go out for Western food for lunch. You should know most of the Chinese food. I will emphasize the points to pay attention to at that time. Banquets held by wealthy aristocrats mostly serve Western food. I will explain it to you while we eat," said Cai Min.

Ruan Yin nodded and continued to listen to her talk about some rules of wealthy families. She didn't even dare to reply to the message on her phone.

Xi Xuanyao sent a message but it fell on deaf ears. He just smiled and wondered how her studies were going today.

Outside the door, Ling Xiao suddenly came to Huiheng and saw surprise flashing in Shen Lanxi's eyes. Why did she come here?
