Chapter 133 Does Lord Ye really mean duplicity or the addiction of Long-yang? (3)
Chi Jingxi was not in the dorm when Wen Yantong returned that night. Thus she could only eat dinner in silence, washed up, and sat in the study to copy the articles given to her by Li Boyuan. Even after finishing so many chores, Chi Jingxi still had yet to come back.
For some unknown reason, Wen Yantong felt unwell and restless. She kept looking towards the door, as if subconsciously waiting for Chi Jingxi to come back.
It was getting late and later, but Wen Yantong continued to wait a bit more after she finished all of her chores. Exhausted, she decided to lay in bed, but there was still no sign of Chi Jingxi.
She was extremely tired and sleepy, but Wen Yantong just couldn't sleep. Many thoughts riddled her mind; helpless, she could only toss around in bed and sigh.
In the end, in a fit of anger and frustration, she lugged over her blanket and decided to sleep in Chi Jingxi's bed.
That damned marquis won't be back tonight, so the bed will remain empty. If she doesn’t sleep on it, then it’ll be a waste!
Wen Yantong rolled herself into a sushi roll in his bed. She sank into the familiar fragrance of sandalwood and ink, and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
Seeing that the person on the bed hadn't moved for a long time, the servant quietly left the room, opened the door, and went outside.
It was the middle of the winter night, and the frosty wind stabbed into the skin like a thousand needles. The servant couldn't help shivering from the cold as soon as he went out.
Chi Jingxi stood under the moon wearing an apricot yellow cloak. The natural silver light cascaded down, covering his handsome face with a soft silver veil. His eyes half opened and his expression was flat.
The servant walked to his side lightly, and respectfully reported, "Master, he has fallen asleep."
Chi Jingxi responded with a low hum. He slowly raised his head to look at the moon in the sky and said, "I never realized that the moon in winter was so bright."
The servant replied, "Master may not know, but the moon is always this bright year round, especially when it's a full moon."
Chi Jingxi didn't show much of a reaction and just said, "True. I never had the time to study the moon so carefully in the past. It’s just because I had nothing else to do while standing here for so long that I decided to look up."
The servant lightly persuades, "Master, please go in quickly. The wind in the first lunar month is particularly harsh. Be careful not to catch the chills."
Chi Jingxi replied, "No matter."
He exhaled. A long white mist followed the path of his breath and soon dissipated in the cold winter. Chi Jingxi only turned back to enter his room after standing in the cold for a while longer.
When he went into the bedroom, Chi Jingxi discovered that there was no one on the couch. He soon found Wen Yantong rolled up her blanket sleeping in his bed. Standing beside the bed, Chi Jingxi was torn between anger and laughter.
With his head lowered, Chi Jingxi could see her tranquil sleeping profile. As if it was specially reserved for another, Wen Yangtong squeezed herself into the innermost side against the wall, leaving a good portion of open space on the bed.
Chi Jingxi stood beside the bed, his ink-stained pupils studied Wen Yantong's slumbering face, and he stood like this for an indeterminately long time.
It wasn't until Wen Yantong unconsciously uttered a couple incoherent words in her sleep that it seemed to have awoken Chi Jingxi from his daze-like state. He blinked his sore and tired eyes, turned around, and entered the study.
The light in the study room stayed on until the end of yin-shi (3-5 am), but Chi Jingxi did not come out from inside.

Wen Yantong was woken up by the sound of the Academy bell. When she opened her eyes, she turned her head subconsciously, but saw that the other half of the bed was still empty. There were no visible changes from when she had climbed into it last night.
Her expression dropped instantly. With a frown, she got up, put on her clothes, and tied her hair. Finally, after she washed her face, Wen Yantong hastily made her way to class.
It was probably the first time she was first to make it to class. At this moment, even the most studious Zhang Jieran should have only just left his dorm.
After Wen Yantong silently took her seat, she took out a book and read it like a good student. As for how much information from the book was absorbed, well, even she herself did not know.
When Fu Zixian arrived at the classroom, he tried to chat with her, but found that she was still not in high spirits, so he didn't disturb her anymore. Even Mu Yang didn't want to bother her as much as usual.
Her mood stayed low all day, even during meal time, Wen Yantong couldn’t muster her appetite and only took a couple bites before putting down her utensils. Once her classes ended in the evening, she couldn't wait to go back to her dormitory.
But when she pushed the door open, the room was still empty.
She called over a servant and asked, but he only replied that the Little MArquis was still busy. A servant naturally wouldn’t be aware of the details of their master's whereabouts.
Wen Yantong’s heart was in turmoil, but she didn't know if it was anger or something else, but it continued to suffocate her. Just like yesterday, she finished washing by herself, and didn't even bother to read her assigned articles, she just got into Chi Jingxi’s bed to sleep.
The days passed quickly, soon it will be the second lunar month, and the Academy will issue its next holiday. Wen Yantong didn't see Chi Jingxi for two consecutive days. Once the holidays begin, she would have to wait until May to see him again.
When she came to this conclusion, Wen Yantong felt a dull pain in her heart, it was very uncomfortable.
She hugged her blanket and buried her head in it.
The next day, although she was still depressed, Wen Yantong remembered that she had to go dig up that box.
Wu Yutian had been keeping tabs on her this whole time, just waiting for this very day. After class in the evening, he secretly waited for Wen Yantong to slip into Chi Jingxi's bedroom, and immediately ordered his attendants to tell the Teachers of the Academy.
He had already filed a complaint before.
Almost everyone in the Academy knew that Wen Yantong lived in Chi Jingxi's dormitory, including all the Teachers. But there were still many Teachers who disapproved of Wen Yantong.
In their eyes, she was an inept student, excelling in neither literature nor martial arts, and only knew how to flatter and bootlick higher ups. Hence, some self-proclaimed ‘aloof from politics and material pursuits’ Teachers naturally look down on her. So when Wu Yutian said that Wen Yantong had stolen something from the Little Marquis and was going to sell it, they naturally wanted to make a fuss about it.
Thus when Wu Yutian informed them, those Teachers urged Li Boyuan, Sun Yu and other high-ranking staff members to go to Chi Jingxi's dorm all together.
Hence, when Wen Yantong was digging the brocade box, a large number of people arrived one after another.
"Wen Yantong, you thief! How dare you!" Wu Yutian awe-inspiringly yelled loudly from a long distance.
Wen Yantong shook off the dirt in her hands and looked up. She quickly realized Wu Yutian really called over a grand number of people, not only the Teachers, but also many students arrived at the scene.
Her gaze swept around the crowd and noticed Chi Jingxi, who she hadn’t seen for three days.
A light flickered in Wen Yantong's eyes, there was finally some change in her dull expression.
She stared at Chi Jingxi’s handsome and unparalleled face, making note of his slightly haggard state.
