Fengqin: "..."
Well, it turns out that all those confident words before were lies; his young master has his eye on her again.
Taking a bath in broad daylight—isn't it obvious to everyone that he has ulterior motives?
"Hurry up and go!"
Seeing that no one answered for a long time, the voice inside grew even deeper.
"Yes, I will take men there immediately."
Seeing Shen Jinchen get angry, Fengqin realized she had made a huge mistake; she shouldn't have let her mind wander in front of the young master.
If he can't control this desire, he might become very aggressive; it would be best for him to run away first.
After Fengqin responded, she tried to use her light-footed skills to escape.
Just as I was about to breathe my last, the voice from behind the screen rang out again.
"Wen Qiyu loves to dress up in fancy clothes. You can burn all his clothes tonight as well."
"yes!"
After responding, Feng Qin didn't linger. With a flash of lightness, she was far away from Shen Jinchen's courtyard. Whether he was afraid or not, if he didn't run fast, he wouldn't be able to keep his clothes.
After returning to the accommodation arranged for her by Wen Keqin, Cen Xi lay down and fell asleep immediately. As for Shen Jinchen's punishment of making her copy books, she didn't care at all. She had only gone to him earlier to ask him what he was up to.
She hadn't really thought much about going, so when Wen Qiyu stopped her, she immediately gave up.
It's better not to see that man. What if she falls into another trap? Little does she know that if she doesn't go, Wen Qiyu will be in trouble.
At midnight that night, hundreds of snakes entered Wen Qiyu's room.
This expectation, however, made Fengqin, the snake catcher, really want to commit suicide by disembowelment.
Wen Qiyu, that oddball, woke up to a room full of snakes, her eyes sparkling. She exclaimed, "Oh! Darlings, did you all miss me? Why are you all looking for me?"
There's also, "I knew you all missed me. Come on, come on, let's get into this cage first. I'll pamper you one by one. Don't rush."
Fengqin listened to his constant muttering in his room, and then watched him herd the snakes into a black cage.
After almost all the snakes went inside, Feng Qin's eyes widened in shock. The scene inside was so overwhelming that even he, a mere guard, could hardly bear it.
Wen Qiyu grabbed a white snake and a green snake and kissed them both on the lips. Then, he actually carried the two snakes into the bed, just like he was visiting prostitutes in a brothel.
Moreover, Wen Qiyu's next words startled Feng Qin, who was hiding outside, so much that she almost fell to the ground.
What about "Baby, don't run away, let me pamper you"?
What do you mean by "Sweetie, I'll be gentle"?
Feng Qin was so frightened that she ran away from Wen Qiyu's courtyard, forgetting even Shen Jinchen's last instructions.
The next day, Cen Xi thought that since she hadn't gone to see that jerk the day before, he would definitely make things difficult for her in class. But the day was peaceful; he didn't cause her any trouble, not even after school ended.
Okay, she was overthinking it. If she's not looking for her, then she can go to sleep. In her previous life, she was severely sleep-deprived because of Ms. Li's rigorous parenting. Now that she's finally working, she's constantly harassed by her boss, and she also has to cater to that sugar daddy, so she hasn't been getting a good night's sleep either.
No matter what, she wants to steal a half-day of leisure in this life and get enough sleep. Staying up late for a long time will lead to an early death, and she doesn't want to die young.
But even though she thought that way, she herself was like a bright, 1000-watt light bulb, attracting flies wherever she went.
So, just after school, after walking for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xiao Qiliang's incredibly pleasant voice called out to her:
“Young Master Jiang, your discussion on scholarship at the academy yesterday was truly insightful. I greatly admire your character. Would you be willing to become my acquaintance?”
"You said my academic discussion yesterday was very insightful?"
Cen Xi turned around and looked him up and down before laughing. This guy really has the nerve to lower himself. Her remarks yesterday were just nonsense. Even in modern times, he would be cursed. This guy is just as unique as Wen Qiyu.
Is it that you're trying to strike up a conversation but can't find a topic to talk about?
She came to Qingshan Academy specifically for this person, and now that he's come to her, it saves her the trouble of racking her brains to test him. But what if it disrupts her plans? She really wanted to sleep for a few days before looking for him again.
Why!
"Yes, what Young Master Jiang said is right. We live our lives to live better. We scholars study for fame and fortune. What is there that we can't tell others? Young Master Jiang's words are truly enlightening."
As Cen Xizheng was pondering this, Xiao Qiliang, who was standing in front of her, suddenly bowed deeply to her and flattered her.
"Brother Xiao, my humble opinion is far from being worthy of serious consideration. You are too kind."
After his flattering words, Cen Xi finally snapped out of her reverie, returned Xiao Qiliang's greeting, and said with a smile.
“Brother, you are too modest. It’s very cold today because of the snow. Why don’t we go back to our lodgings and continue? How is your chess skill? Would you like to play a game with me?”
When Xiao Qiliang saw Cen Xi address him as Brother Xiao, he knew that she had accepted his gesture of goodwill. Sure enough, there was no woman he couldn't handle. What did it matter if she was a fallen flower or a swan? Once he got her, the master would be pleased.
"I do know a little, but if I don't play well, I'm afraid Brother Xiao will laugh at me."
Cen Xi feigned modesty and said...
What a joke! Modern parents who push their kids to excel often prioritize math olympiad and Go. Ms. Li had high hopes for her; how could she live up to the title of "tiger parent" if she didn't learn them? So saying she's not good at it is just being modest.
But as a girl, she had to consider the face of men in the patriarchal society of ancient times. She couldn't possibly win later unless she didn't want to associate with this person anymore. How could she let go of a fish that had taken the bait?
She's not that kind of person, okay? She's good at watching people act, so she needs to get people to perform and for them to feel a sense of accomplishment in order for it to be interesting.
"To be honest, I'm also a terrible chess player. I'm so bad at it that I might not even be able to beat Brother Jiang."
Xiao Qiliang gestured for him to enter, then said with a humble expression.
"Since we're evenly matched, let's have a good few rounds and see whose chess skills are worse."
Cen Xi turned to him and smiled, then took the lead.
At Qingshan Academy, Xiao Qiliang, Wen Qiyu, and she were Wen Keqin's direct disciples.
Therefore, the courtyards where they lived were close by. When Shen Jinchen came to Qingshan Academy to teach, Wen Keqin naturally prepared the best courtyard for him. And the best courtyard was the residence for the four of them.
So when Cen Xi and Xiao Qiliang walked side by side into the courtyard, they ran into Shen Jinchen and Wen Qiyu.
Regardless of their past or present identities, Cen Xi and Xiao Qiliang should pay their respects to Shen Jinchen.
So Cen Xi had no choice but to meet the dog of a man's overly attentive gaze and greet him.
"May Prime Minister Chen be safe and sound!"
"May Prime Minister Chen be safe and sound!"
Cen Xi and Xiao Qiliang spoke at the same time.
After performing the ceremony, Cen Xi thought to herself that she must quickly deal with Xiao Qiliang and leave this academy.
The identity of a scholar was indeed unsuitable for her. When had she ever bowed and scraped before him before? Not even in bed. Today was the first time.
