The Villainous Classmate is My Lucky StarChapter 138 Piggys left you in the dust (1)Chi Jingxi took a few deep breaths, and after calming down, he said slowly, "I saw a person who looked quite similar to you during the banquet in the imperial palace. I asked someone to take my jade token to test the waters, and as a result, the jade token really appeared in your hand. However, when I asked you later if you had been to the palace, you denied it."When Wen Yantong heard this, she was so startled that she broke into a cold sweat. She thought of thousands of possibilities and the purpose of another trying to steal his jade token, but she never expected that the token was purposely lost by Chi Jingxi himself. It made sense. If he had doubts, how could he not seek proof?The jade token was indeed in her hands, no matter what said now could cover up the fact that she went to the imperial palace. Wen Yantong felt guilty for a moment, she twirled her fingers, trying to calm down."On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, I asked you how you got into the Academy. You lied. And when I asked how you knew my courtesy name, you also lied. And now you even made a fake of my jade token without telling me to bait Wu Yutian." Chi Jingxi said, "Have I ever been angry about you doing all of these? Have I ever held you accountable? Have I ever interrogated you for an answer?""But I didnt deceive you, no?" Wen Yantong couldn't help but whisper back.Chi Jingxi really knew everything. If she just slipped slightly, he could instantly detect it and form accurate conjugations. The only hidden secrets that she had managed to keep under the dark was that she had transmigrated into this novel and that she had disguised herself as a man.But Wen Yantong didn't know how much longer she could keep her crossdressing secret for.It was impossible for Wen Yantong to confess this secret on her own initiative. If this secret were to be revealed, even the Wen Residence in Chang'an will be implicated. And now that she was in Chaoge, except for Fu Tanghuan, there was no one she could fully trust this secret to. Although her relationship with Chi Jingxi had gradually eased, it had not yet reached the point where they could be completely honest with each other.Chi Jingxi let out a long sigh, "If I really was swindled by you, then my brain would have grown in vain.""Since you are not mad at me, why are you ignoring me?" Wen Yantong asked.Chi Jingxi didn't answer for a while, instead he fell silent. Wen Yantong waited for quite a while, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she wanted to move her numb limbs.Unexpectedly, Chi Jingxi thought she was going to leave again, so he quickly said, "I won't."Wen Yantong didn't understand what he meant. "What?""I won't leave early and return late again." Chi Jingxi explained calmly, "I won't be perfunctory or indifferent anymore."Wen Yantong quietly raised her eyes to peek at him.And it just so happened to meet his gaze. As if he still had yet to calm down, Chi Jingxis last sentence sounded somewhat spiteful, "So live here and don't make a fuss about going back, do you hear me!?"Wen Yantong suppressed her smile and nodded obediently.This was the first time she gained the upper hand in a confrontation against Chi Jingxi, and it ended with Chi Jingxi's compromise. Seeing that Chi Jingxi's face was still somewhat unsightly, she immediately put on a smiling face, and leaned in front of Chi Jingxi, "Little Marquis must keep his word."Chi Jingxi gave her a glance and his fierce face softened a little as he retorted unhappily, "Have I ever gone back on my words?""That's great." Wen Yantong laughed and went to hug his arm. Fortunately, he didn't dodge this time.So Wen Yantong slowly led him down from her bundle, "Youve been so busy recently, Im sure you haven't had a good rest, so go to bed early today and recuperate."When she looked down, sure enough, she saw footprints left on her bundle.Chi Jingxi sat on the couch as Wen Yantong gestured and replied, "As long as you dont throw a temper then I will sleep soundly tonight."Wen Yantong snickered, "Of course not! Here, let me massage your shoulders, Im very good at it, you can even call me a professional!"She took the initiative to rub Chi Jingxi's shoulder, and said while working her hands, "I have to thank you, Little Marquis, for helping me today, otherwise I would have definitely been hit."Chi Jingxi responded in a low voice, "With me here, youll never be beaten."His voice was a bit muffled. Wen Yantong couldn't hear it clearly and her thoughts slowly drifted.Wu Yutian's attempt at physically assaulting her came too suddenly. Many people didnt even have the time to react. She didn't expect him to do such a thing in front of so many people, it was completely out of her calculationsNo matter what, Wu Yutians father was also an official of the imperial court. His behavior in the Academy also represented the face of the Wu Residence. This time he was convicted of framing and spreading rumors, and even openly attacked his classmates. His sentence would definitely implicate his father.In fact, Wen Yantong hoped that the punishment should be severer, after all, Wu Yutian would be a huge disaster in the future. Unfortunately, her plan could not would not give Wu Yutian a death sentence, at most, he would be expelled from the Academy and be caned.But this was the best Wen Yantong could do at the moment.Chi Jingxi knew that she wasn't telling the truth; he knew that she had sneaked into the palace but he didn't persuade her. But not persuading didn't mean he wasnt going to investigate, so all she could do now was to build up Chi Jingxis affinity for her. This way, after he really found out something, he would let her live.After all, the current Chi Jingxi was still an eighteen-year-old child. He had a smarter mind and was a deeper thinker, but he was still a person with feelings. As long as she could become one of his true friends, she probably won't be caught by him like in the original book and forced into a road of no return.Chi Jingxi had really been overworking his brain these last couple of days. He couldn't sleep peacefully at night and was busy running around during the day, so he was really exhausted. After being subdued by Wen Yantong's professional technique for a while, he leaned on the soft couch and fell asleep.Wen Yantong patted him on the shoulder lightly and whispered, "Little Marquis, best to sleep in your bed."Chi Jingxi opened his eyes slightly, face full of fatigue. He got up and walked to his bed after taking a look at her. On his way, he saw the bundle on the ground from the corner of his eye and said, "Put all your things back."Wen Yantong quickly responded, and watched Chi Jingxi go back to sleep in the inner room. She then quietly placed all her things back in place, briefly washed herself, and then climbed onto her couch. When Wen Yantong woke up the next morning, she was greeted with the sight of Chi Jingxi getting dressed. His presence instantly put Wen Yantong in a cheerful mood. She loudly greeted him, "Good morning! Little Marquis!"This yell startled Chi Jingxi. "What are you yelling for? If youre awake, then get up quickly."Wen Yantong put on her coat, walked out from behind the screen, and looked at Chi Jingxi. She unabashedly praised, "Aiya! Little Marquis looks really suave today! So handsome and distinguished! How many people of Shao Jing can compare to your good looks?" Chi Jingxi glanced at her indifferently. "Did you dream about donkeys last night?""Huh?" Wen Yantong tilted her head, baffled."No?" Chi Jingxi continued, "Then why does your brain seem as if it's been stampeded on? It's not normal."Wen Yantong became even happier. "Thank you, Little Marquis! I feel great."Chi Jingxi frowned in astonishment. "It's the first time I've heard someone say theyre feeling great after being scolded.""You don't understand." Wen Yantong pretended to be profound. Shen then shook her head, then turned to go wash her face.
