Chapter 149 If we can’t be good bros, then let’s be good couples (1)
Chi Jingxi frowned when he heard the movement beside him. When he looked over, he noticed her sudden change in complexion. It looked as if she was going to fall at any time, so without much of a thought, Chi Jingxi stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Are you alright?"
"I– I..." Wen Yantong felt that she couldn't breathe, and instinctively asked Chi Jingxi for help. She raised her head, tears rolled down from her eyes, as she intuitively spoke the truth, "I'm afraid..."
All sorts of emotions surged out of her heart. Fear, grievance, and despair muddled her mind, similar to the feeling when the cannon fodder in the original book learned that her parents would also be implicated and beheaded.
As if she had been squeezed into a narrow and dark gap, bit by bit, crushing her to suffocation.
When Chi Jingxi saw her tears, his stern and cold demeanor disappeared in an instant. He helped her sit on the chair, his tone was angry and helpless, "What are you afraid of, I didn't haven't accused you of any crime."
Wen Yantong's ears were buzzing, she couldn’t make out what Chi Jingxi had said. She frowned and tried to read Chi Jingxi's mouth through her blurry vision, but this expression made her look even more pitiful.
Chi Jingxi panicked. He hurriedly reached out to take the brocade cloth on the table. Seeing that the cloth was covered with the ointment he had wiped off from her face just now, he quickly unfolded the brocade cloth and found a clean side to gently wipe off the tears Wen Yantong had shed. He sighed softly and muttered, "Always pulling this stunt on me..."
The pain in Wen Yantong's heart slowly dissipated, and the tears stopped flowing. Her dense eyelashes were full of tiny droplets of water as she looked straight at Chi Jingxi.
The emotion just now was an instinctive reaction of the little cannon fodder after the body perceived that her identity had been revealed. Wen Yantonhad experienced a similar feeling when she first transmigrated into this novel.
During her first two days,Wen Yantong found it very inconvenient to move and could not control her body freely. She constantly felt palpitations and flustered emotions, there was a feeling of timidness, and it was even difficult to fall asleep at night. It took some time, but she slowly started to adapt to this feeling, completely assimilating to this new body.
This body no longer had the consciousness of the small cannon fodder, but there are still some remnants that could not be completely eliminated.
Wen Yantong was well aware that she was currently a character in the book. Her father was a wealthy businessman in Chang'an and she was a female who disguised herself as a man to enroll into Songhai Academy. As a commoner without much authority, crying would not solve any problems.
So she gritted her teeth, stood up, and abruptly knelt down holding Chi Jingxi's leg. She howled out pitifully, "Little Marquis, please don't tell this to anyone! I plan to leave Songhai Academy soon and return to Chang'an. As long as you don't tell me, no one will know about it!"
Chi Jingxi was taken aback by her sudden movement, almost unable to maintain his demenour. He asked in a deep voice, "Why weren’t you this afraid when you first entered the Academy?"
Wen Yantong pretended to cry, "I didn't think about it that much at the time. And you know, useless bookworms–oops I mean, ‘studying will fuel a scholar’s journey’. Although I am a woman, I also want to study more."
Chi Jingxi asked, "There are so many private schools in Chang'an, why do you insist on coming to Chaoge? And specifically Songhai Academy?"
Without a second thought, Wen Yantong blurted out, "It's because you’re in Songhai Academy! Even in Chang'an, I’ve heard of Little Marquis’ talents and splendid future prospects, so I want to come to see you. Sobbing..."
Chi Jingxi: "..."
She continued to cry, "I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Please spare my life, Little Marquis! I wanted to escape, but I never had a chance. You also know! I tried to escape before, but my legs were hit and I was crippled. I became a joke of the entire Academy! I also didn’t want any of this!"
"Get up first." Chi Jingxi's tone became much calmer.
Wen Yantong refused, "I No! Unless Little Marquis promises me not to tell anyone of this matter, I won't get up from the floor! I’ll just keep kneeling here until the floor falls through."
Chi Jingxi calmly said, "I promise you, so get up quickly."
Wen Yantong didn't expect him to agree so readily. She got up in a daze as she asked, "Little Marquis really promises?"
"Otherwise? You want me to publicize this matter now?" Chi Jingxi saw that there were no tears on her face, and realized he had been deceived, so he angrily added, "You really only know how to make a ruckus."
Wen Yantong was overjoyed, seeing his handsome face was both helpless and caring, her initial feeling of fear quickly dissipated. She had successfully hugged Chi Jingxi's thigh. Time may have felt pity for all her difficulties; her emotions catalyzed and Wen Yantong had an urge to give Chi Jingxi a hug.
Seeing her standing on tiptoes, arms stretched open, and ready to jump at him, Chi Jingxi took two steps back and put his hand on her shoulders. "Act properly. Stand still."
Wen Yantong withdrew her hand wearily, and muttered, "Can't I just give you a hug?"
Chi Jingxi stretched out his hand to pinch her mouth and said, "Didn’t I say before that if you lie to me again, I will knock out a few of your teeth, equal to the amount of times you have cheated on me?"
Wen Yantong hurriedly tried to persuade him otherwise, "Don't! Although I did lie to you about some things, my heart has always been true! Every one of my praises for you are from the heart, completely unadulterated, so don't bother with the small things, okay? "
Chi Jingxi pretended to study her teeth. "Quite straight and white, I guess I’ll pick the most beautiful ones to knock out."
Wen Yantong hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand. "No, no, no!"
Chi Jingxi couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. When he was about to brush her hand away, Hua Mo's voice suddenly sounded outside the door, "Who are you? Why are you people here?"
Chi Jingxi let go of Wen Yantong and turned to look at the door.
Wen Yantong rubbed her face. "Hua jie is back."
Chi Jingxi’s usual expression returned as he said to Wen Yantong, "I hadn’t finished asking you everything, so I'll come find you another day."
Wen Yantong was in disbelief. "You have more questions?"
Chi Jingxi looked back at her silently.
She smiled immediately and flatteringly said, "Okay, okay! I’ll be waiting for Little Marquis to come find me again!"
