Chapter 135 Shocking news! A certain student was expelled from Songhai Academy! (2)
Wu Yutian was startled when he heard this. He suddenly raised his head to look at Wen Yantong, as if finally realizing something, his whole face turned pale white.
Wen Yantong loosened her foot, took two steps back, and said, "What the Teacher said was completely just. It's better for such people to be driven out of the Academy as soon as possible."
After Wu Yutian withdrew his hand, he was not in a hurry to dig up the soil on the ground anymore. He just stared at Wen Yantong with a restless heart, trying to study her face.
Wen Yantong looked at him condescendingly, her delicate eyes were as cold as ice, making Wu Yutian feel cold all over.
Wen Yantong shouldn't have such an expression at this time.
Wu Yutian suddenly thought of something. He lowered his head and stared at the half-dug hole in the ground. The brocade box was barely exposed; it was clearly the same one he had seen before, but its unchanged appearance frightened him so.
Wen Yantong saw that his face was rapidly changing colors, and knew that he might have figured out her plan. So she said in a very low voice, "You just realized it now, isn't it a bit late?"
Wu Yutian's eyes widened, "You! How dare you..."
Wen Yantong could only respond with a sneer, and said loudly to Li Boyuan, "Teacher, Wu Yutian has never looked fondly of me. He tried to frame me many times, and this time he spread false rumors about me trying to steal from the Little Marquis..."
She looked at Chi Jingxi and continued seriously, "My good feelings for the Little Marquis are true and sincere, how could I steal his things? This time, Wu Yutian's rumors seriously hurt my relationship with the Little Marquis. He has ignored me for three whole days, which made me very sad! Teacher, please investigate this case fairly and give this student justice!"
Although there were irrelevant events in her statement, they were all true, so Wen Yantong’s earnest speech was very believable.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chi Jingxi, as if they were probing his expression, but Chi Jingxi's expression remained unfathomable. He was currently staring at Wen Yantong, but no one but himself knew what he was thinking.
Li Boyuan immediately said, "Quickly dig out that box!"
Several servants stepped forward together. Wu Yutian was shocked by the sudden change in situation. He opened his arms, blocking the path with his body. "Wait..."
The servants quickly pushed him away. Wu Yutian was so frightened that his whole body went limp, unable to catch his balance, he fell hard to the ground.
The box was buried shallowly, so the servants dug it out in two or three strokes. They quickly took it out and brought it to Li Boyuan and the others.
Li Boyuan said, "Open it."
So the brocade box was opened in full view, but alas, the inside was empty.
Wen Yantong raised her chin slightly, "See? It's just a box."
Wu Yutian trembled and quickly got up and snatched the box to see; it was indeed an empty box. He stared at Wen Yantong with widened eyes, full of resentment.
Wen Yantong was not afraid and stared back at him, "What? Did I disappoint you?"
Wu Yutian threw the box on the ground, and frantically went to dig deeper into the hole. However, after digging for a while, his fingernails were full of dirt, but there was nothing else to be found.
It was a trap!
After he realized what had happened, Wu Yutian got up and jumped towards Wen Yantong.
Wen Yantong was only three steps away from him, so even if she had seen what he was trying to do, Wen Yantong couldn't dodge in time.
Just as she watched Wu Yutian's ferocious face rushing towards her, Wen Yantong felt someone grip her wrist and pull her back. After being dragged back a couple of steps, her shoulder bumped into a sturdy arm.
Then Chi Jingxi's voice sounded above her head, "Hold him down."
The two guards immediately stepped forward, one taking the left while the other went to the right, and pressed Wu Yutian hard into the ground. No matter how hard the latter struggled, he couldn't move, and could only yell out in pain.
Li Boyuan's face turned blue with anger, and he sighed three times in a row.
Sun Qiu quickly made his statement, "Wu Yutian, you have spread rumors, sowed dissension, violated school rules, and tried to attack your classmate. ‘Rotten wood can not be sculpted’. Today, the Academy will announce that this student will be expelled, his student status will be revoked, and he will be temporarily detained. He will be sent to the Ministry of Justice tomorrow, and be dealt with accordingly. Let all students take this as a warning: don't act on hearsay evidence."
How could Wu Yutian calmly accept this type of ending? He bursted into tears and cried out, "No! Teacher, please listen to my explanation! It was Wen Yantong who deliberately framed me!"
The crowd witnessed Wu Yutian gowling on the ground, begging for forgiveness. Some people felt schadenfreude, some felt disappointed, and others felt pity.
But no one wanted to hear Wu Yutian's explanation, not even Teachers. So Wu Yutian was sent out of Songhai Academy while still shouting and crying.
After Sun Qiu finished speaking, Chi Jingxi let go of Wen Yantong's hand and turned, readying to leave. Wen Yantong didn't even think, but subconsciously took a step forward and grabbed his hand.
Chi Jingxi's hand was much bigger than Wen Yantong's, so when she grabbed it, she actually only held three of his fingers.
But it successfully caused him to pause his steps.
Only after she had acted did Wen Yantong realize that her hands were still covered in mud. When she looked down and saw that she had sullied Chi Jingxi's clean and fair hands, she quickly let go.
Chi Jingxi turned to look at her, and saw her quickly rubbing her hands on her own clothes. After she cleaned her hands, she then grabbed his hands again, and wiped off the mud on his hands with her sleeves.
Wen Yantong's hands were soft but also very cold. It was most likely because she had dug in the freezing soil just a moment ago. Chi Jingxi’s fingertips moved lightly, as if desiring to wrap his hands around hers. Using the heat of his palms, it would warm up these cold and soft little hands.
In the end, he didn’t not move on his instincts, but looked at Wen Yantong's earnest face and asked softly, "What's the matter?"
Wen Yantong withdrew her hand. She looked up at him, hesitated a bit before finally asking, "Little Marquis, will you be in the dormitory tonight?"
Chi Jingxi nodded.
Wen Yantong's shoulders loosened. Although there was no change on her face, her tense emotions eased a lot. "Then I'll wait for Little Marquis."
Chi Jingxi's eyes suddenly became turbid, as if the ink in his eyes had been stirred. He looked deeply into Wen Yantong's eyes for a moment, then turned and left without saying anything.
