Chapter 220 Disturbance at Blooming Bouquet Tea House (2)
Wen Yantong grinned and remarked, "You're unusually earnest today. You've been engrossed the whole time. In the past, you would have dozed off and snored long before the test."
Her words soon reminded Mu Yang, "Oh, now that you mention this. You stretched your head over just now. Did you want to copy my answers?"
Wen Yantong was quick to clarify, "Are you kidding me? Do I need to see your answers? Even if you dared to show them to me, I wouldn't dare to copy."
Mu Yang contemplated a retort but swiftly acknowledged Wen Yantong's point. Calculations were Wen Yantong's forte. Even though she was in Class Six of Ding, she consistently secured the top spot in tests, earning her the admiration of Zhao Yu.
With a light snort, Mu Yang suggested, "Chaoge has opened a new flower teahouse. If you guys have time today, let's go and have a drink together."
Wen Yantong pondered for a moment and realized she had no plans for the afternoon. She was about to agree when Fu Zixian, standing beside her, chimed in, "The third sister asked me to relay a message to Wen Yantong, saying that she wants to invite her out today."
Wen Yantong promptly changed her mind, "Alright, did she mention where to meet?"
"Third sister will take my carriage and head straight to Wen Residence to find you," he informed.
"Wait a minute," Mu Yang expressed his dissatisfaction, "I clearly made the appointment first, how could you agree to her request?!"
Fu Zixian looked apologetic, "I said it was too late."
Wen Yantong stated, "In terms of order, the Third Young Lady comes first. Besides, I still have something to discuss with the Third Young Lady. You go to that flower teahouse first, or we can reschedule."
Even though Mu Yang was not happy, upon hearing Wen Yantong's explanation, he realized he couldn't be petty any longer, so he reluctantly gave up.
Wen Yantong then packed up her things and returned to the dorm, finding Chi Jingxi's guard stationed at the bedroom door. Knowing Chi Jingxi was inside, she happily entered the room.
"Little Marquis——" Wen Yantong called out as soon as she entered the door.
Chi Jingxi came out of the study. Observing her joyful expression, he inquired, "You seem so happy. Is it because the test questions were very easy?"
"No, it's because I saw you here." Wen Yantong walked over with a smile and reached out to hug him.
Chi Jingxi allowed her to embrace him. Observing some ink stains on her forehead, he gently rubbed them with his fingertips and asked, "How did you manage to get ink on your face?"
Wen Yantong pondered for a moment and replied, "Maybe Mu Xingyi put it there. He was a little unusual today. He was answering questions from beginning to end. It's completely different from his usual appearance of taking a nap after writing two questions."
"It seems that he has really studied hard these days," Chi Jingxi remarked, looking down at her. "Are you worried that you will lose to him?"
Wen Yantong answered earnestly, "I'm not concerned about Knowledge of Calculations, but the Knowledge of Words is a bit confusing to me."
Chi Jingxi continued to wipe away the ink stains on her forehead, saying, "It doesn't matter even if you lose; I will give him the set of brushes."
Wen Yantong expressed, "But I don't want to lose either."
She felt her forehead grow warm from the rubbing, so she reached out, held Chi Jingxi's hand, pulled it down, and said, "You've been going to the palace quite often lately. Is something happening?"
Chi Jingxi responded, "There is indeed something going on in the court."
Wen Yantong, not wanting to delve into court matters, swiftly changed the topic, saying, "Mu Xingyi gave me scallion pancakes today."
Chi Jingxi looked down at her, anticipating her next words.
"After I ate it, Teacher Zhao smelled it and began to question the whole class as to who was eating. Unexpectedly, Mu Xingyi told Teacher Zhao that he ate the scallion pancake." Wen Yantong pondered, "Why is Mu Xingyi so nice to me today? Did he receive any stimulation last night?”
Chi Jingxi curled his lips and smiled, "Yang’er has wanted to have a sister since he was a child."
Wen Yantong remarked, "Doesn't he already have a sister?"
"He isn't fond of any of his siblings." Chi Jingxi guided her towards the soft couch, and explained, "Qianyuan and I share the absence of younger sisters. Once, Yang’er spotted someone with a little sister trailing behind them, prompting him to clamor persistently, urging us to plead mother to bring another younger sister into the world."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yantong felt an unexplainable sadness. Mu Yang certainly yearned for siblings, more than just a younger sister. Unfortunately, his mother's untimely death left him as the sole offspring. While Cheng Xin and Chi Jingxi's mothers were still alive, Mu Yang could only vest his hopes in others.
Although Mu Yang had half-brothers and sisters, he was likely very lonely.
Very soon, Wen Yantong chuckled at the idea, "Was he trying to consider me as his younger sister?"
Chi Jingxi replied, "That seemed to be the case."
"But it won’t be possible," Wen Yantong remarked.
Chi Jingxi arched his eyebrows slightly.
"In that case, won’t the seniority become chaotic?" Wen Yantong remarked, "I just wanted to be his sister-in-law."
Chi Jingxi burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Why are you laughing?" Wen Yantong inquired. Seeing the smile on his handsome face, she couldn't resist moving closer and planting a kiss on the side of his face.
Chi Jingxi lowered his head, pressed it against her cheek, and then lightly nibbled her earlobe. His teeth left a distinct feeling as a sudden rush of warm breath enveloped her ears.
Wen Yantong couldn't withstand the ticklish sensation and chuckled, "Don't bite me."
Upon hearing this, Chi Jingxi withdrew his teeth and planted a gentle kiss on her earlobe, then trailed along her cheek before finally landing on her lips. As their lips met, Chi Jingxi embraced her in his arms.
After their intimate moment, Chi Jingxi didn't linger for too long and soon headed to the palace. Coincidentally, Wen Yantong needed to make her way back to Wen Residence, so the two of them left the Academy together.
After returning, Wen Yantong undressed, removed her hair accessory, indulged in a hot bath, and then adorned herself in the dress she had brought from Chang'an.
Attire from Chang'an had distinguishing features, slightly different from clothing produced in Chaoge. Chang'an favored garments crafted from brocade and silk, offering a smooth and cool texture. Embroidery patterns primarily featured vegetation and birds, while colors were kept simple and elegant.
Wen Yantong possessed several female dresses predominantly in apricot and almond tones, fitting for the summer season.
Upon changing into her blouse and skirt, she enlisted Mo Li's help to create a simple half bun, allowing the other half of her hair to cascade over her shoulders. A modest set of coral bead hairpins adorned her hair, complemented by a touch of eyebrow and lip makeup, rendering her appearance more feminine.
Once Wen Yantong had prepared herself, she sat down and awaited Fu Tanghuan's arrival.
Given that most of Wen Residence's servants were stationed in the outer courtyard, she preferred using the lengthy route from the backyard to the side exit whenever she ventured outside. This approach made it a common predicament of the servants being uncertain about the master's presence in the house.
After a wait of less than an hour, the carriage from Fu Residence halted at the main entrance. Having received Mo Li's notification, Wen Yantong promptly rose and departed via the extended pathway.
Very soon, the Wen Residence's carriage trailed the Fu Residence's carriage, merging into the lively streets of Chaoge.
