Chapter 49 Like a cat swatting a mouse on a person?
Xie Yubin originally thought that Xie Yunwen wouldn't be able to answer the questions since he hadn't been paying attention in class, so he deliberately wanted to embarrass him.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yunwen had already read the article beforehand, which ironically made him the center of attention!
I just failed to get revenge for being defended by that little brat, and now I've been humiliated by him again.
Xie Yubin pointed at him angrily: "I just don't understand, how could you have read this in advance? You should be doing what you're supposed to do in your free time, what's so great about reading this lousy policy treatise in advance!"
Xie Yubin: I don't understand and I'm devastated.
Xie Yunchuan and Xie Yunyang exchanged a glance, both unable to suppress the upturned corners of their mouths.
The fourth prince's brother is truly proud!
Xie Yunwen remained calm: "You're joking. I was just reading it casually. It can't compare to the prince's brilliant style."
This sounds awkward no matter how you look at it; anyone with a brain would know that Xie Yunwen is mocking Xie Yubin.
Someone couldn't help but laugh, which made Xie Yubin even angrier.
"You, you, you!"
Xie Yubin talked for a long time, but couldn't bring himself to reprimand him in public.
Xie Yunwen was, after all, a prince. There was a difference between openly disrespecting a prince in front of others and bullying him in secret.
Xie Yubin's gaze swept over Pei Ji in another corner, and the corners of his mouth turned up again.
He can't bully the prince, but a hostage would be fine, right?
"Pei Ji, you seem to be laughing quite happily. Are you perhaps mocking me?"
Pei, expressionless: ...?
Where did he find the joy in his smile?
Afu, who was acting as his page behind him, was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground. He couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "This young prince has an eye disease at such a young age. When did our young master smile? And he smiled happily, but the corners of his mouth didn't even turn up much!"
Pei Ji stood up slowly and bowed: "Your Highness, Pei Ji was not laughing."
Whether you laughed or not, are you just afraid to speak up because you don't know how?
"Yes." Pei Ji answered quickly without hesitation.
Xie Yubin was quite happy. He thought to himself, "There must be more than just me who's a hopeless student here!"
"Hmph, you have to admit it, even if you don't know anything. Our Emperor has graciously allowed you to study with us in the Wenhua Hall. That's an immense honor for you! If you don't know anything, wouldn't that go against our Emperor's wishes?"
With just a few words, Xie Yubin put Pei Ji on a pedestal, as if his inability to do so would be disrespectful to His Majesty.
Sheng Sheng, who had been secretly observing from the corner, became furious.
"What does Xie Yubin mean by this? After bullying the Fourth Prince, he's now going to bully Brother Pei Ji too!"
Little Whitey hopped down beside her with a mouse in its mouth, and the struggling mouse startled Zijuan.
"Ah! Princess, there's a mouse!"
"It's alright, Sister Zijuan."
Sheng Sheng was still a little surprised. Xiao Bai looked clumsy, but she didn't expect him to actually be able to catch mice.
"Who do you think you are? Although I don't need to eat mice, a good cat will never fail to catch mice." Little White looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle with arrogance.
The little mouse, being carried and suspended in the air, felt its life was about to end and cried out, "Waaaaah... What kind of fate is this? I saw a dead person yesterday, and today it's my turn to die? Waaaaah... Can't you eat me a little more gently?"
Sheng Sheng squatted down, puzzled: "Xiao Bai, didn't you explain it to him?"
Little White shook its head from side to side and said helplessly, "Little mouse, don't be afraid. We just want to ask you for a favor!"
The little mouse nodded, crying loudly, "Help! Help, help, help!"
Sheng Sheng was amused; she found it rather cute.
When you are weak enough, your fear becomes cute in the eyes of others.
The voice gently tapped the little mouse's head in a soothing tone, and the little mouse was still a little stunned.
How dare anyone touch their rats?
Shouldn't she scream, run away, and chase him with a broom?
Before the little mouse could even ask what kind of help she was doing, it felt itself being lifted into the air; it had been carried up the wall by the cat.
"Little White, hurry up and go!"
With a flick of his finger, Xiao Bai leaped over the wall and in a few steps landed in the courtyard where Liu Taifu was lecturing, releasing his grip.
The little mouse realized its neck had loosened and immediately took off running.
Little White meowed and, unusually seriously, started running, relentlessly chasing after the little mouse.
The little mouse was so frightened that it scurried away and unknowingly ran into the crowd.
Xiao Bai: "Run towards the person in the blue clothes."
Xie Yubin was looking at Pei Ji with a smug smile when he suddenly felt something tugging at the hem of his clothes.
Looking down, Xie Yubin screamed, his voice hoarse: "A rat! There's a rat!"
Everyone was startled by his shout. Upon closer inspection, they discovered a black rat pulling on Xie Yubin's robe and climbing up as if it wanted to reach his head.
Not to mention others, even Pei Ji stared at the rat in astonishment.
The palace has always placed great importance on eliminating rats and insects, let alone in the Wenhua Hall. How could a rat run out in broad daylight?
Xie Yubin desperately tried to hit Qin Xiang, but Qin Xiang was even more frightened and dodged several meters away, saying, "Your Highness, I'm scared too!"
"Where did this rat come from?"
"Hey, aren't rats afraid of people? So why are these rats crawling all over His Highness?"
“I saw it too. The rat went straight for His Highness as soon as it arrived.”
Little White squatted behind the tree and watched for a while. When it felt the time was right, it darted out in a flash.
In a few quick steps, he ran up to Xie Yubin, and then climbed up to him as well, focused on catching the mouse.
But how could Xiaobai compare to the weight of a mouse? Moreover, Xiaobai ran over at full speed, almost knocking Xie Yubin over with one paw.
Unfortunately, Xie Yubin was terrified of mice and didn't dare to move an inch.
"Where did this cat come from?!"
A cat and a mouse, one above and one below, are playing out on Xie Yubin... a cat chasing a mouse?
The little mouse crawled all over Xie Yubin, and Xiaobai followed him.
I don't know why, even though Xiaobai could have caught the mouse with a single paw, he insisted on going around Xie Yubin's shoulder to the other side just as he was about to catch up with the mouse.
It looks like they're toying with that little mouse.
Only Sheng Sheng knew that Xiao Bai wasn't just catching a mouse to play with out of boredom; he was playing a trick on Xie Yubin!
Whether a cat catches a mouse or a person, it's still a cat.
This is no longer about rats; this is clearly possession!
They must be possessed by an evil spirit, otherwise how could they see a cat and a mouse doing parkour on Xie Yubin in broad daylight!
Everyone was stunned, finding the whole thing extremely bizarre.
"Your Highness, why don't you move a couple of times and throw that rat off?"
"Yes, this cat is probably chasing a mouse. If you don't shake the mouse off, the cat won't get off!"
"Hey, but why does it seem like the cat and mouse are having a lot of fun...?"
