The Villainous Classmate is My Lucky Star

Chapter 38

Views:

In the end, Wen Yantong failed to draw the wonderful frog seeds for Chi Jingxi, but instead copied half an hour of "Youth is easy to learn, old is hard to achieve, and an inch of time cannot be taken lightly."

Wen Yantong became more and more tired from copying, half of his body was almost lying on the table, he put down the pen and twisted his wrist, and wailed, "I know I was wrong, young master, don't let me copy, my hands are really tired—— "

When Chi Jingxi heard the voice, he lifted his eyes from the book and glanced at her, "Where is the mistake, let me hear."

"I shouldn't put food on the desk. It's wrong to write while eating. I won't do it again next time." Wen Yantong leaned his face on the table and said in a weak voice.

She said to herself, "Why do I say this, I shouldn't show off my knowledge... The little cripple is so miserable, the little cripple."

Wen Yantong's writing speed was slow, and she only copied a few pages in half an hour, but she always wrote this sentence, and she almost vomited.

Chi Jingxi's mood has obviously eased. Seeing her like this, she didn't blame her with a cold face. She looked down at the book and said, "But after writing a few chapters, I was crying and screaming tired."

This is tacit consent. Wen Yantong was overjoyed, raised the paper in his hand, and said, "Young Master, look, how similar is my word to yours?"

"Less than one point." Chi Jingxi didn't raise his head.

"You didn't even read it." Wen Yantong said, "Master Li also said that I have learned three points from you?"

"When did he say that?" Chi Jingxi frowned.

"He said that I learned the skin, but not the bone." Wen Yantong said, "Three parts of the skin and seven parts of the bone, don't I just learn three parts?"

He didn't answer the phone again.

Wen Yantong was a little bored, but didn't dare to bother Chi Jingxi frequently, so he got up and walked to the main hall.

There was only a small heater in the study room, which was not very warm. Her hands were cold when she was writing just now, so Wen Yantong ran to sit by the big heater in the main hall.

Blessed by Tuo Chi Jingxi, I thought I would have to fight the freezing overnight without the charcoal fire, but I didn't expect that the little prince would bring warmth to the room when he came, and now he wouldn't feel cold even if he lay on the floor.

Wen Yantong sat by the stove for a while, then wanted to go back to the study and talk to Chi Jingxi for a while. In fact, it was still early, and Wen Yantong came back to sleep after class in the morning, so he was quite energetic at the moment.

Considering the low temperature in the study, she wanted to move the heater to the study.

Thinking about it, Wen Yantong posed several poses by the stove, while paying attention to his right leg, and at the same time finding an easy place to exert force, twisting for a long time.

When she leaned down and pushed with all her strength, the stove was pushed a certain distance on the ground, making a piercing sound, which shocked Chi Jingxi, who was reading a book, from her thoughts.

He turned his head and said to the boy behind him, "Go and see what he's doing."

When the young servant led the order to go out, he saw Yantong slamming on the stove, hurried forward, and shouted in a fierce tone, "What are you doing! Be careful not to overturn the stove, and the charcoal fire will come out!"

Wen Yantong stopped, "I'm afraid that the young master will be cold in the study."

The servant pushed her away, and said in a disgusted tone, "Do you need to worry about this?"

Wen Yantong staggered two steps back, then pushed back, and said angrily, "Don't worry if you don't worry, why push people! Bullying me is a cripple, right?"

"It's the first time I've seen a shameless person like you, occupying our master's room and acting like a master." The servant rolled his eyes at Wen Yantong, "Master should just throw you in the snow Here, let you suffer from the cold, sober your brain and understand your identity."

Wen Yantong was pissed off by this sharp-toothed boy, "I'm also a classmate of the young master in the academy, so what are you? Why should you teach me?"

"Missing a whole school of classmates?" The boy laughed bluntly and exaggeratedly.

Isn't Jiayitang and Dingliutang just a whole academy apart

Wen Yantong looked at his face more and more disgusted, and couldn't help but roll up his sleeves to fight him. But thinking that he is Chi Jingxi's servant, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, not to mention that he is still under the fence now.

She stopped comparing her voice with the servant, and said sarcastically, "No matter how bad I am, I'm still in Songhai Academy. If you're capable, you'd spend money to come in."

The boy was speechless. Indeed, no matter how humble Wen Yantong's status is, with a lot of gold in his hands, he can still be a master. And these little servants are nothing more than ordinary or poor families, and then sign a contract to make a living.

The boy felt that he had been humiliated, and went back to the study with his face flushed with anger.

Chi Jingxi didn't look up, nor saw the expression on the boy's face, but asked, "What is he doing?"

"Back to the young master, the cripple said that the study room was too cold, and he wanted to move the big fireplace in the main hall to the study room so that it would be warmer." The boy replied.

Chi Jingxi was taken aback, "The stove is so big, he moved it by himself?"

"When I went there, I saw him pushing the stove." The servant said in a low voice, "He's clearly a cripple, and he's not honest."

"You went there for a while, what did you tell him?" Chi Jingxi's tone did not fluctuate, seemingly casually.

"I asked him to be quiet, so as not to disturb the master's reading, but the cripple said that in the academy, his status is equal to that of the master, and there is no need to bow to the master. It is clearly the master's bedroom, but he regards it as his own home." Xiao Xiao The conversation was full of accusations.

After hearing this, Chi Jingxi didn't react at all, her beautiful eyebrows and eyes were light, maybe she was a little sleepy, and there was a laziness hidden in it, "Is that all?"

"The servant said a few words to him, and he scolded the servant for being poor and unworthy of teaching him. The servant took into account that he is the master's classmate, so he didn't dare to say more, so he had to come in." The servant lowered his eyebrows and said aggrievedly.

Chi Jingxi turned the pages of the book with a lazy voice, "You've said enough."

"Master, what are you doing with this ignorant person? Just drive him out and let him know where he is." Seeing that Chi Jingxi was not in any mood, the servant fanned the flames.

"It's a good idea." Chi Jingxi rubbed the pages of the book with his fingertips.

The young servant was extremely happy when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to say, "The servant is going to pass the message."

Unexpectedly, Chi Jingxi said, "I see that there is still a vacancy in the guard outside, you can fill it."

"Ah?" The boy was dumbfounded for a moment, and then a terrified expression appeared on his face. He knelt down on his knees and slapped himself, "I am wrong, I am wrong! I beg the master to spare the slave! Outside It's freezing cold, the slave will definitely freeze to death if he goes out!"

Chi Jingxi said, "Do you know what's wrong?"

"Slaves shouldn't exaggerate and make up lies to deceive their masters. Slaves deserve to die! I won't do it again next time!" The servant imitated Wen Yantong's confession to Chi Jingxi just now, and begged for Chi Jingxi's forgiveness.

But Chi Jingxi only hummed lightly after hearing this, and then said, "Go out."

The boy knew that there was no room for turning back, so he got up from the ground and exited the study, holding back his fear and anger.

As soon as he went out, he saw Wen Yantong standing at the door listening to the corner of the wall, and seeing the slap marks on the boy's face, he couldn't hold back his ridicule, "Hey, why did you put on rouge after entering it for a while? It's so beautiful."

The servant glared at her resentfully, not daring to do it again, and walked out of the house without saying a word.

How could Wen Yantong let him go so easily, he just followed behind his butt and said in a low voice, "You deserve it, you deserve it, for making your mouth dirty."

Even though the boy was trembling with anger, he didn't dare to say anything. After his ears were blocked, he stood outside and guarded the gate with the guards in the wind and snow.

Although Wen Yantong didn't know why Chi Jingxi punished him, but he felt very relieved, and instantly felt comfortable physically and mentally. She suppressed a smile and went back to the study, seeing that Chi Jingxi was concentrating on seeing, she quietly sat down opposite him.

Chi Jingxi seems to be a little used to Wen Yantong staying by his side now, and he is not as repulsive as he was the first time. Hearing her come in, he asked, "Why didn't you bring the heater in?"

Wen Yantong shook his head, "That thing is too heavy, I have to use all my strength to move it a little bit, so as not to hurt my legs."

Chi Jingxi said, "Since you think the study is cold, what are you doing sitting here?"

Kind of like a eviction order.

Wen Yantong smacked his lips and said, "It's rare to have a few words with Young Master, so I naturally want to cherish this opportunity."

Chi Jingxi lifted his eyelids slightly, and glanced at her, "You can listen to what you say when you are flattering people."

Wen Yantong took it as a compliment for now. He smiled and said, "Young Master, you are so smart, surely no one has ever blamed you for your mistakes."

She picked up the pen at hand and drew casually on the paper, seemingly casually saying, "I am different. I have been stupid since I was a child. In order not to disappoint my parents, I tried my best to do my best in everything. It's a pity that I never made my parents proud."

"When my father was young, his family was very poor. He didn't even have a decent bed. He always slept in thatched huts and straw bunks with air leakage. In that way, noble sons come from poor families." Wen Yantong's voice was mixed with sighs,

"It's a pity that because he was too poor, he couldn't even read books. He was able to read a few words. Later, he started a business to earn money, and his life gradually improved, and he could afford books. But because he was too old, his memory was not good enough. Well, I fell off the list three times, and I didn’t even get a single student.”

She glanced at Chi Jingxi, and saw that he was reading a book with his eyes down, his face was calm, he didn't react at all, and she didn't know if he was listening. But he didn't say shut up, Wen Yantong continued, "I went to Songhai Academy to study, just to make up for my father's regrets, even if I just pass the exam and go home."

As an academy directly under the royal family, Songhai Academy is a special existence outside the imperial examination system. Students among them can also take the imperial examination, but the imperial examination system is cumbersome, and they have to take the exam from the bottom to the top. And Songhai Academy organizes a summary exam every three years, the location is in the palace, and the emperor and the Ministry of Rites personally invigilate the exam, which is equivalent to the standard of the palace exam.

If you pass the exam, you will directly become a Jinshi, and you can take the palace exam to go up the exam. If you fail, it is divided into two types: qualified and unqualified. If you are qualified, you are considered a scholar, if you are not qualified, you are nothing. At most, you can brag about the past of studying in Songhai Academy.

What Wen Yantong meant was to take a scholar home.

She sighed, "But I didn't expect that I was not only stupid, but also not very lucky. I was crippled before, and I was falsely accused of killing a chicken two days ago. Now there are rumors in the academy that I killed the chicken secretly." of it."

"Little Hou Ye, did Master Sun ask you about me?" Wen Yantong asked tentatively.

Chi Jingxi's eyes, which had been quiet for a long time, moved slightly, and he picked up the book that had not been turned for a long time with his fingertips, turned his face and said, "No."

Wen Yantong's shoulders collapsed, and he pursed his mouth and said, "Could it be that Master Sun doesn't believe my testimony? What if they still doubt me and expel me from the academy?"

Chi Jingxi said, "Isn't that just what you want?"

"That's why I was confused before. Shaojing couldn't find another one with such good teaching qualifications as Songhai Academy." Wen Yantong said in a low voice, "I also don't want to disappoint my father's expectations."

There was silence on the other side for a while.

Just when Wen Yantong thought Chi Jingxi would ignore it, he heard his calm voice, "If you don't want people to suspect you, just find the murderer."

Wen Yantong was overjoyed, and continued to frown, "But I don't know how to find the murderer."

Chi Jingxi said, "Suspecting all the people who show signs is enough to find a murderer who killed a chicken."

Wen Yantong knew that what she said just now had made Chi Jingxi a bit interested in her. Although this amount was very small, it was enough because she had nine points of initiative.

She put half of her body on the table, leaned closer to Chi Jingxi, and said, "I suspect that the night watchman is here now. I have no reason with him, but he came up and identified me as the person who killed the chicken." , if I hadn't got Master Li's proof, I'm afraid he wouldn't change his mind."

"Young master, you are so smart, can you tell me, is my suspicion right?" she said.

Chi Jingxi fluttered her drooping eyelashes and said, "Wrong."

Wen Yantong was surprised, "Did you say that I suspected wrong without even thinking about it?"

He was a little careless, "Besides you, it is the servant of the night watch who is most suspected."

Wen Yantong was startled, and instantly his mind became clear as if enlightened.

yes! Why didn't she think of such a simple truth? !

Announcing Xiaoji's abnormal murder, the biggest suspect is Wen Yantong, who once got up in the middle of the night to kill chickens, but once her suspicions are cleared, the second place is the night watchman. At that time, he was so anxious to identify Wen Yantong because he wanted to find the murderer to prove his innocence.

But Wen Yantong presented ironclad evidence that Uncle Zhou was the biggest suspect, so there was no need to ask Uncle Zhou now, because he wanted to find out the real murderer more than anyone else.

This accusation is actually very low-level, too unstable, and the murderer only killed the chicken, even if the knife for killing the chicken was hidden in her bedroom, it was enough to forge the evidence. But the killer did nothing else.

Even if she did not go to Mrs. Li's bedroom that night, there is no conclusive evidence that she killed the chicken. So the black hands behind the scenes probably didn't want to take advantage of this incident to bring her down, but to cause trouble for him or tarnish her reputation.

But honestly, her reputation stinks enough.

As long as Uncle Zhou had any brains, he would not risk such an unstable murder.

Therefore, the suspicion of Uncle Zhou must be ruled out from the very beginning.

But before Wen Yantong's thoughts got into a blind spot, she thought that she must have bad intentions for Zhou Bo's constant rogue, and he was the only person who could touch chickens at night, so she was suspicious.

Wen Yantong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Who killed that? If it wasn't killed by the night watchman, someone must have killed it during the time gap between the changing of the night watch. I asked before, the two of them The handover time should not exceed a moment, who can kill the chicken quietly in this moment?"

Chi Jingxi pondered for a moment, then asked, "Let me hear what's going on around the scene."

She recalled and said what she noticed at the time, "The head of the chicken was cut off from the neck to the root, and it was thrown next to the chicken body. It bled a lot and was frozen."

"Is there blood in the coop?" he asked.

Wen Yantong frowned, then shook his head, "No, there is no blood around."

Chi Jingxi tapped the writing twice with her fingertips, and wrote lightly, "When you go to the canteen to eat in the future, pay more attention to the dish 'Inexhaustible Threads', and you will be able to find the murderer."

"Ah?" Wen Yantong was quite shocked, why did he suddenly get involved in eating

She was not sure what Chi Jingxi meant, and asked, "Is the young master hungry? How about I ask someone to bring in some food?"

"The murderer is in the dining room, a cook," he said.

Wen Yantong:? ?

This kind of miraculous feeling is like a math teacher asked a question, and the scumbag is trying to formulate the steps, and when he is confused about what to do next, the scumbag writes an answer directly under the question.

Even if there is no process, even if the answer is correct, there will be no points, okay

Wen Yantong asked thirsty for knowledge, "Why?"

In fact, she thought of it herself. First of all, the chicken was killed in a coma, because animals are very alert. If you want to kill it without making a sound, you can only faint the chicken first. And there is no blood around the chicken, which is enough to prove that the chicken killer took the chicken out of the chicken coop and put it on the ground, and then cut off the chicken's neck with a knife, so the blood only clotted on the body.

Her second suspicion was whoever was feeding the chickens.

But I didn't expect that Chi Jingxi skipped the doubt step and gave a completely irrelevant answer.

Seeing her confused face, Chi Jingxi smiled inexplicably, "You will understand after you have seen the dish in the dining hall, if you still don't understand..."

"Ask you again?" She answered suspiciously.

"Just write a request to leave the hospital and submit it to the dean." He closed the book, put it on the table and stood up, "The reason is that the brain is too stupid, and there is no hope of passing it. Go back as soon as possible."

After speaking, he walked out of the study.

Wen Yantong watched him leave, and couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

But then she realized that she was very close to the truth. Chi Jingxi has already revealed the identity of the murderer and the way to find out the murderer, the rest is to see if she can find out the connection.

Chi Jingxi is so smart, he must not be talking nonsense just now, he must have thought of something that Wen Yantong did not think of, and thus deduced the identity of the murderer.

But he didn't bother to explain, so Wen Yantong had to discover the rest of the points by himself.

Thinking of this, Wen Yantong became happy again. Originally, she was still stuck in a dead corner of her mind, pondering and doubting repeatedly, unable to start at all. But after chatting with Chi Jingxi like this, I feel transparent in an instant.

No wonder people like to make friends with smart people.

She walked out of the academy cheerfully, and saw Chi Jingxi starting to undress, took off one piece and threw it on the soft bed next to her.

Wen Yantong walked over and picked up his clothes, "This is where I sleep at night."

Chi Jingxi watched her take the clothes to hang on the screen, then took off two more clothes and put them directly on top, and said, "If you make noise while I'm sleeping, I'll kick you out."

"Understood." Wen Yantong replied hastily.

The soft bed is behind the screen, and Fu Zixian would sleep there when he came here to take a nap on weekdays. It's not spacious, but it's enough for Wen Yantong to sleep on it.

After Chi Jingxi lay on the bed, he closed his eyes and went to sleep. Because the snow outside was too heavy to bring in new bedding, he covered the quilt that Wen Yantong hugged and slept every night.

And Wen Yantong was covered with the quilt they used to sleep with.

The bed was full of the smell of medicinal herbs. On the one hand, Wen Yantong liked to drink traditional Chinese medicine before going to bed, and on the other hand, she was tortured by cock crowing a while ago, which made her sleep unstable, so she went to the medicine hall to catch her nerves. herbs.

This smell is not strong, Chi Jingxi felt very relaxed after smelling it, and naturally did not have much rejection of the bed.

Wen Yantong slowly extinguished all the lights in the room, then lay down on the soft couch, closed her eyes comfortably and prepared to sleep.

This bedroom is quite big, at least bigger than Wen Yantong's previous house. Since the death of her family, she has been wandering outside by herself, seemingly carefree, but in fact she is very lonely. Most of my friends are busy with work and basically don't communicate much.

So Wen Yantong went out alone, went home alone, and ate alone. Later, he came in through the book and slept with Zhang Jieran. Wen Yantong went to his room to take a look when he was sleeping, and the light was on. After waking up, he looked again, and the light was still on. Although there was no intersection, it made Wen Yantong feel at ease.

It was only now that she realized that the faint peace of mind at that time was far less intense than Chi Jingxi's peace of mind who was by his side.

Even though Chi Jingxi was not related to her, but he was sleeping in this room, which filled Wen Yantong with a sense of fullness and a vague illusion that there was a tree to lean on.

Chi Jingxi is so powerful. Smart, knowledgeable, powerful in martial arts, and powerful, if you can really rely on him, won't you be walking sideways in the academy

Wen Yantong thought about it, and gradually became sleepy, yawned and gradually fell asleep.

I thought I would sleep until dawn, but I didn't expect to wake up in the middle of the night.

She opened her eyes and saw that there was still a faint light burning in the room, and there was a chill in the air. Wen Yantong got out of bed lightly and walked to the stove, but saw that the charcoal fire in the stove was extinguished again.

Before, the night watch maids came in to add charcoal in the middle of the night, but since Chi Jingxi is here tonight, they probably dare not come in again. And Chi Jingxi transferred the boy out to guard the gate again, so no one added charcoal.

Wen Yantong sighed irritably, remembering that the quilt on Chi Jingxi was thin, so he took the cloak hanging on the screen and his own cloak, and walked to the bed.

Seeing that he also seemed to be sleeping restlessly because of the cold, his body was curled up, revealing a delicate side face, and his facial features were extremely peaceful in his sleep. She stacked the two cloaks and lightly pressed them on Chi Jingxi's body.

She pulled Chi Jingxi's two unlined clothes from the screen, spread them on her quilt, and curled her body into a ball. Chi Jingxi's breath filled her nostrils, which seemed to warm her up a lot. She took a deep breath and fell asleep peacefully.

When I woke up the next day, I felt dizzy and had a cold.

Wen Yantong sucked on two completely blocked noses, and angrily threw Chi Jingxi's unlined clothes on the ground.

Warm ass!
