The Villainous Classmate is My Lucky Star Chapter 71
Pure: Yesterday a reader asked for a character index. I don’t usually keep one, so I casually made this. Here it is, enjoy~
Also, sorry I usually don’t like to blatantly ask in the announcements here, but recently I’ve been seeing a BIG decrease in ad revenue. This is my main source of income, so if you don’t mind, please turn off adblock when reading— every little bit helps. Thank you so so much!

Chapter 71 Chi Jingxi Secretly Playing Favorites (3)
Chi Jingxi frowned in surprise. The people at the table laughed at the same time; they all knew that Wen Yantong was trying to cheat and was thinking of ways not to take the wine glass.
Mu Yang said on the side, "Your fingers really know when to cramp up."
Wen Yantong posed her fingers in a weird position. "It's true! Look, it's all cramped, looking like chicken feet!"
Chi Jingxi laughed angrily and said, "Then don't guess. Just drink this glass of wine and pass it."
Wen Yantong could only obediently take the wine glass. She thought about it for a moment and casually said, "It's something I don't have."
Cheng Yanchuan and the others immediately laughed hysterically. Wen Yantong was unsure and asked Fu Zixian, "Did I guess right?"
Fu Zixian blushed and hesitated, "I don't know if you are right or wrong."
Wen Yantong passed the wine glass to him and hinted, "You wouldn't say something too difficult, right?"
Fu Zixian took the wine glass. "Melts in sunrise, congeals under moonlight."
Fu Zixian then passed it to Mu Yang, who then said, "The cleanest, the dirtiest."
Wen Yantong scolded secretly. How did the foolish Mu Yang guess it correctly?!
Cheng Xin took the cup, "Gentle and violent, an uncertain temperament."
The last one was Jiang Musheng, who said, "In thousands of poses, none alike."
The cup fell into Cheng Yanchuan's hands again, and he smiled, "Then I will ask someone to explain. If they guess wrong, they will drink this glass of wine. If it is correct, then I will drink it."
After Cheng Yanchuan finished speaking, he picked Wen Yantong. "You tell me."
Wen Yantong was dumbfounded. She held back for a long time before saying, "It's something I don't have anyways."
"What is it? Come on. Say it!" Mu Yang urged.
At this time, Chi Jingxi interjected slowly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Could it be that you are also guessing blindly and are in a hurry to find someone to take the blame?"
Mu Yang was completely unaware of the trap that Chi Jingxi had dug and jumped into the pit unknowingly. He said anxiously, "I didn’t blindly guess! Isn't it ‘snow’? It's the cleanest when it comes down, but then becomes the dirtiest once it gets trampled on? Brother Xi, don't talk nonsense."
Wen Yantong immediately slapped the table. "It's snow. The answer is snow! I guessed it was snow!"
Only then did Mu Yang realize that he had been fooled. He glared and blamed, "Brother Xi, you are going too far! How can you be so partial?"
Chi Jingxi’s eyes curved into a smile. His beautiful smiling eyes instantly softened his face. "You said it yourself. I didn't force you to say anything."
"You deliberately provoked me!" Mu Yang retorted.
Cheng Yanchuan passed the wine glass to Mu Yang. "You broke the rules, so this glass belongs to you."
In the end, because of Mu Yang's young age and strict family discipline, Jiang Musheng drank it for him.
Wen Yantong breathed a sigh of relief. At least, he was fooled.
Just as the group was about to start the next round, someone knocked on the door. A servant reported from the outside. "Master, Prime Minister Fu and Chief Minister of the Department of State Affairs are asking to see you."
Wen Yantong was startled. When she looked up and saw the expressions of several people on the table changed at the same time. Obviously, they didn't expect that the prime minister and the chief minister would come and find them at this time.
Cheng Yanchuan smiled warmly. "Come invite them quickly."
As soon as the door opened, everyone stood up and faced the door.
Several people entered the private room one after another. The leader was Fu Zixian's father, Fu Sheng. He and the others gave Cheng Yanchuan a simple salute. "Greetings, His Royal Highness Crown Prince."
Cheng Yanchuan's smile was as pleasant as a spring breeze. "No need to be polite. I didn't expect to meet everyone here."
Fu Sheng also agreed, "It's really a coincidence. I heard that His Royal Highness the Prince was also here when I arrived, so along with the other ministers, we have come to greet you."
Jiang Musheng and Fu Zixian lowered their heads as they called out, "Father."
The Chief Minister of the Department of State Affairs, Jiang Wu, was Jiang Musheng's father. Once he saw Jiang Musheng, his expression turned ugly, and he asked solemnly, "What are you doing here with His Royal Highness at this time?"
Cheng Yanchuan replied for them, "Imperial brother, Xiao Xi, and Yang'er have a rest day tomorrow, so I called everyone out for a meal to have some fun together"
Fu Sheng said, "There are many interesting places to play in Chaoge. New Moon Restaurant is deserted and not lively enough. Isn't His Royal Highness afraid of not having a good time?"
He didn't look at Fu Zixian at all, and Fu Zixian tactfully stood on the side.
Cheng Yanchuan replied, "It happens that we have a lot of people, so it is lively enough. The classmate Xiao Xi brought today is a very interesting person. They have made us laugh many times."
He waved at Wen Yantong. "Come here and give your greetings."
Wen Yantong quickly understood. She stepped forward while limping. "Greetings, Sires. This commoner must have been blessed for three generations to have met the pillars of the court today! Tonight will be a sleepless night for sure. Today was such a wonderful day for this commoner."
When the several high-ranking officials heard that she called herself a commoner, they quickly discovered her identity. Jiang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. His face softened a lot as he said with a smile, "Little Marquis, this classmate of yours has such a sweet mouth."
On the other hand, Fu Sheng's face became very unsightly. After a casual chat or two with Cheng Yanchuan, he said goodbye and left. Before leaving, Jiang Wu patted Jiang Musheng's shoulder. "Go home early. Don't stay out too late."
After the people left, the rest of the people all silently laughed as they slowly returned to their seats.
