After Transmigrating as a Tycoon’s Wife, My Thoughts Are Heard by the Whole Family

Because of the jewelry incident, Ji Fei was teased the very next day.

They said Ji Fei favored girls over boys, only giving gifts to the female students.

Ji Fei smiled and replied, "When you all find someone to date, I'll send you something too."

Qin Zhao was immediately disarmed by Ji Fei's pointed gaze.

Qin Jing, on the other hand, claimed he was making progress, though his sister couldn't help but tease him relentlessly.

Ji Fei quickly figured it out.

[So Qin Jing had invited someone to meet in person, only to be rejected. This made me curious—could it be a case of catfishing?]

The Qin family chuckled quietly.

As they were laughing, Qin Yi finally came downstairs, unusually late today, but it was understandable. After all, he had been through so much yesterday and deserved some rest.

However, Qin Yi seemed distracted and out of sorts.

Everyone thought he was still recovering and offered some comforting words.

But Qin Yi's expression remained troubled.

This gave Ji Fei the perfect opportunity to stir things up.

With a quick investigation, Ji Fei almost burst into laughter at the dining table.

In the end, they had to cover it up with fake coughs.

[Hahaha, I knew it! How could he completely forget? It seems that as his body recovers, his memories are gradually coming back too. But poor Qin Yi still thinks it was just a wild dream, and the object of his dream is someone completely out of reach. No wonder he's so shaken.]

The Qin family also started coughing one after another.

So, this juicy gossip wasn't over yet?

They all felt a bit guilty, knowing such a big secret and keeping it from their relative.

If Qin Yi could recover his memories on his own, that would be great.

But their cousin was so clueless—how could he think it was just a dream?

Perhaps the trauma from that day had caused him to dream like that?

Qin Xian could understand, though. After all, Zhou Rushi had acted completely normal, as if nothing had happened between her and her teacher, so Qin Yi naturally wouldn't connect the dots.

Whether this counted as recovering his memories or not was still up for debate.

Out of sheer curiosity, when Qin Yi went to the school to handle some follow-up matters, Ji Fei, Qin Rong, and Qin Zhao—the three most idle members of the family—tagged along under the pretense of being concerned for their cousin. But in reality, they just wanted to stir up some drama.

Once they arrived at the school, Qin Yi headed to the dean's office, while the other three wandered around the hallway, looking around.

As luck would have it, they spotted Zhou Rushi coming out of an office.

When she saw them, she clearly recognized them and tensed up for a moment. Her eyes quickly scanned the area, and when she confirmed Qin Yi wasn’t there, she relaxed slightly.

She nodded with a polite smile, acknowledging them before walking away.

Since they weren’t really acquainted, they couldn’t exactly stop her to chat, so they watched her leave with a mix of regret and curiosity.

As soon as she was gone, Qin Zhao exclaimed, "Huh? That office... Is she leaving?"

Ji Fei and Qin Rong looked up and were equally shocked.

Meanwhile, inside the office, Qin Yi listened as the dean suggested he take a break from teaching for the rest of the semester to focus on recovery. Qin Yi nodded in agreement.

This wasn’t the school being difficult; the incident had caused quite a stir, and it would be hard for everyone to focus if Qin Yi acted like nothing had happened. Qin Yi had actually come to request leave, so the dean’s suggestion aligned perfectly with his plans.

Then the dean added, "But starting next semester, aside from your regular teaching duties, would you consider taking on more students?"

Qin Yi immediately showed resistance.

The dean chuckled awkwardly and said, "You can’t let one bad experience ruin everything. People like Wan Sitong are rare. There are plenty of talented students who lack financial resources and need someone like you—a teacher who values talent over money—to guide them."

The dean couldn’t bear to lose Qin Yi as a free resource and was laying on the flattery thick.

"It’s such a shame to deny others opportunities just because of Wan Sitong, don’t you think?" the dean asked, looking at Qin Yi expectantly.

Qin Yi, being kind-hearted, couldn’t refuse. He nodded and said, "Alright, do you have any candidates in mind?"

The dean immediately handed over a prepared list.

"How about taking on a few more? That way, they can keep an eye on each other, and we’ll assess their character beforehand," the dean suggested with a smile.

Qin Yi wasn’t so jaded that he’d stop helping students altogether because of Wan Sitong, but he knew his judgment wasn’t the best. It was safer to choose from the dean’s recommendations.

However, because of that dream, his first instinct was to look for Zhou Rushi’s name.

After all, aside from Wan Sitong, Zhou Rushi had been the most outstanding student in her year.

But after scanning it once, he didn’t see it. He checked again, only to confirm that her name was indeed missing.

"Why isn’t Zhou Rushi’s name on the list?" After having that dream, Qin Yi should have avoided her to prevent awkwardness, but seeing her name absent, he instinctively felt the need to defend her rights. She deserved to be on that list.

After he asked, the dean sighed and shook his head.

Qin Yi’s heart sank. Since the dean had curated the list, did that mean… did that mean…

Qin Yi couldn’t help but overthink. After the Wan Sitong incident, he had started to suspect that some students might have ulterior motives.

So… was Zhou Rushi one of them? Is that why the dean had excluded her in advance?

As Qin Yi was lost in these thoughts, the dean spoke up. "Ah, Zhou Rushi recently applied for an exchange program to study at a music conservatory abroad. She passed the assessment and will be leaving in a couple of days. I did mention this opportunity to her, since studying under you would provide her with better guidance, but she declined."

Hearing this, Qin Yi’s heart sank even further.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Why… did she refuse?
