Chapter 126 Isn’t that my blanket? (2)
This was Wen Yantong's first time riding in Chi Jingxi's personal carriage, it was quite different from the one she sat on when they traveled to Nian'an Temple. The interior decoration could almost be described as luxurious.
She had ridden in Mu Yang’s carriage multiple times, but the Mu Family was of a military background. Moreover, Mu Yuan was an uncooth old fellow, he didn't like to put extra items in the carriage. This rule also applied to Mu Yang and his carriage.
But Marquis Anhuai was a very high ranking official, and this carriage was gifted by the Emperor, so everything in it was top-notch. Even the curtains were made of brilliant silk padded with soft cotton linter inside, it was super soft to the touch.
It was then Wen Yantong noticed the coral-colored blanket placed on the soft couch. When Chi Jingxi was injured, she specially gave it to the guard and told him to spread it on Chi Jingxi's bed.
But when she went to ask for it later, the guard said it was gone. She had thought Chi Jingxi had thrown it out after.
She didn't expect him to have kept it in his carriage.
After Chi Jingxi sat down, he casually threw the blanket to Wen Yantong, without any intention of explaining.
Wen Yantong put it over her body, thinking that Chi Jingxi was going to return it to her.
The carriage was moving at a slow pace, the inside was quite quiet, and there was still a slight smell of license lingering in the air.
Breaking the silence, Wen Yantong coughed and asked, "Little Marquis, my Snow Jade Lotus Bow..."
Chi Jingxi’s eyes were closed as he rested his head on a soft pillow. Without moving, he replied lightly, "I will return it to you when we reach your house."
Wen Yantong replied, "You don't need to return that bow."
"You don't want it anymore?" Chi Jingxi asked.
"No..." she said, "I want to give you the bow. I heard that New Year's Eve was your birthday. I wanted to give you a gift, but after sorting through my stuff, I found that I nothing worth offering"
Chi Jingxi’s eyelashes moved slightly and he slowly opened his eyes to look at her.
Wen Yantong continued, "I just happened to win this bow. Everyone said it was a renowned treasure. Little Marquis, your archery skills are the best, so I want to give the bow to you as a birthday present."
"...Birthday present?" Chi Jingxi repeated softly.
Wen Yantong nodded affirmatively, "It's a waste for me to keep anyways."
Chi Jingxi fell silent and did not answer.
"Although I know that Little Marquis is not lacking a good bow, you have helped me so many times. I want to repay this gratitude, so please accept this gift, Little Marquis." Wen Yantong persuaded.
The corner of Chi Jingxi's mouth curled up slightly, "Since you want to give it away so much, I will accept your kind intention."
Wen Yantong was overjoyed and smiled joyfully. This treasure was coveted by countless people but it was the most suitable gift for Chi Jingxi.
Chi Jingxi accepted it, which meant that he doesn't hate her so much. Sooner or later, she will become Chi Jingxi's right-hand man, the kind who specializes in giving brainless compliments].
Chi Jingxi didn't continue to converse after, and Wen Yantong didn't make any noise to disturb him, both of them remained tactfully quiet.
When they finally reached Wen Yantong house, she got up, with the blanket in her arms. Before she could exit the carriage, however, Chi Jingxi stretched his leg and stopped her.
Wen Yantong looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Is there something wrong, Little Marquis?"
"Leave the blanket." Chi Jingxi raised his chin and replied in a matter-of-fact tone.
Wen Yantong put down the blanket in a daze. She couldn't hold it back and decided to insinuate, "This blanket looks exactly like the one I lost in Nian'an Temple."
"Really?" Chi Jingxi raised his eyebrows slightly, "What a pity. If you can't find it, then just make a new one."
Wen Yantong: "..."
She thought that Chi Jingxi was going to return the blanket to her, but unexpectedly this man only intended to just lend her own blanket for a while.
Wen Yantong had no choice but to reluctantly surrender this custom-made blanket. After bidding goodbye to Chi Jingxi, she got off the carriage, and returned to Wen Residence.
After returning home, she washed and untied her hair, soaked her feet comfortably. After she was completely cleaned, Wen Yantong laid down happily under the blanket.
Before falling asleep, Wen Yantong took out the jade token she had picked up in the palace from between the layer of mattresses, and felt the cold surface with her fingertips. She gently touched the words "Chi Jingxi" engraved on it, and her internal abacus began to clatter.
Since she transmigrated, that scum Wu Yutian had caused her a lot of trouble. Although every time was just a daunting experience without mishap, she was not one to just endure all these grievances; it was time to get revenge.
Wen Yantong held the jade tablet until it warmed up to her body temperature, then placed it back between the mattress again. She then wrapped the quilt tightly around her body and fell asleep.

Shortly after the 15th day of the first lunar month, Songhai Academy resumed classes again. What followed was the news of Jiang's family being searched and seized, causing a sensation in Chaoge.
Afterwards, the Emperor issued an imperial decree. It was a mandated boarding for all students in the Academy, they could no longer leave the premises when class ended and return in the morning like before.
This series of rumors spread throughout Chaoge, but Wen Yantong didn't believe it at first, afterall, there was no such plot mentioned in the original book.
But on this rare sunny and cloudless evening, she saw with her own eyes: a large number of guards carrying luggages into the Academy one by one.
Chi Jingxi, Cheng Xin, and other noble young masters are actually going to move into Songhai Academy!!
So that night, in order to avoid causing trouble, Wen Yantong carried her belongings and hurried back to Zhang Jieran's two-person dorm.

[Chi Jingxi's Little Diary]
In the twenty-fourth year of Ruixing Decade, on the twenty-first day of the first lunar month:
We will be moving back into the Academy tomorrow. Although I'm not used to sharing a room with others, since the Little Cripple's is so well behaved, I’ll reluctantly agree to let her sleep in my room.
On the twenty-first day of the first lunar month:
...I’m pissed.
