Chapter 39 Caught to Practice Script Again (1)

To explain everything, the story must be told from the afternoon of the previous day…

Half a month has passed since the First Snow Banquet, and in a blink of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month. Chaoge’s snow would inconsistently fall. Because of the slippery road, Wen Yantong's martial arts class was completely suspended, so she could concentrate on her leg.

In addition to drinking various bone marrow soups all day, she kept trying to walk without crutches in the room.

It was very strenuous at first, Wen Yantong almost tripped multiple times, but after getting used to it, it became easier. The main reason was her leg didn’t hurt so much when moving. And now she was finally able to remove the splint on her leg.

During this period of recuperation, Wen Yantong completely shed off her small, malnourished cannon fodder's body. Her face became white and tender, and her hair became black and shiny, gradually showing a hint of beauty.

On this rest day, Fu Zixian came to look for her.

The two made an appointment the day before to go to the hospital to remove the splint together. In fact, Wen Yantong felt that the slint could be dismantled by herself, and there was no need to go to the clinic again. However, Fu Zixian insisted on it, saying that the bones were not fully set, and herbal medicine was needed as a follow-up.

Wen Yantong couldn't outtalk him, so she had to agree.

After Fu Tanghuan knew about this, she came and secretly took care of Wen Yantong.

Speaking of Fu Tanghuan, Wen Yantong hadn't seen her for some time. The previous incident of her being attacked in the city caused quite a stir, even alarming the emperor. It's just that those mountain bandits were all foreign outlaws. Except for the ones killed by Cheng Xiao, everyone else fled.

There was no trace left to track.

Fu Tanghuan knew that the attack was planned, and could vaguely guess that it was Fu Shi. But because there was no solid evidence, she naturally could not out her as the perpetrator. Even if there was a lead, Fu Shi could easily get rid of it. Afterall, it was not just her, but probably also Fu Shi's mother behind the scenes.

Fu Tanghuan could only endure her anger.

When she saw Wen Yantong, she was very happy, and the two talked for a while in the clinic. Once she sent Fu Zixian away, she asked the doctor to give Wen Yantong a reading.

Wen Yantong didn't have any major problems, except for her body was cold in nature with qi deficiency and with long-term malnutrition. The most important thing now was to take good care of herself.

Wen Yantong knew that this was caused by the long-term oppression as a small cannon fodder in the academy, and along with that, the original owner had psychological problems, so that in the end she got anorexia.

As soon as she came into this book, she felt her body was starving.

Wen Yantong immediately said, "If you have any medicine, just pick it for me."

The doctor was very straightforward, and immediately filled several large bags, allowing Wen Yantong to return with a full load. Although she felt bitter from the throat to the intestines just from the sight of these herbs, but for her own body, no matter how bitter, she had to eat it.

After the cast was removed, Wen Yantong felt that her whole right leg was much lighter. Although she was still limping when walking, she didn't need to depend on her two crutches all the time.

Wen Yantong was very happy, and invited Fu Tanghuan and her brother for a good meal before being sent back to the academy.

While Fu Zixian was in the midst of sending Wen Yantong back, they happened to meet Li Boyuan.

Li Boyuan was walking in front of the two with his back facing them, but Wen Yantong recognized his dark complexion at a single glance. She was about to pull Fu Zixian to change paths, when she suddenly heard the young man beside her shout: "Teacher Li!"

Wen Yantong took a big breath of cold air, and felt chills in her mouth and lungs.

…How careless!

Fu Zixian has always been self disciplined and observant. Even if he saw Li Boyuan from a distance, he still would not forget to pay his respects.

Li Boyuan stopped and looked back to see Fu Zixian supporting the limping Wen Yantong.

Fu Zixian bowed respectfully, "Student greets Teacher."

Wen Yantong followed suit. 

Li Boyuan has always liked students who observe etiquette, so he has a good impression of Fu Zixian. With a rare smile, he said. "It's getting dark now, why are you still in the outskirts academy?"

Fu Zixian replied, "This student took Wen Yantong to remove the wooden board on his leg, and is sending him back now."

Li Boyuan looked at Wen Yantong and then at her legs. "Wen Yantong, have you been practicing calligraphy recently?"

"Of course! Of course!" Wen Yantong said, "This student remembers the Teacher's instructions and dare not be lazy."

"Hmm—" Li Boyuan dragged his voice, thought for a while, and then said, "Then I'll see how you've practiced these days today. Come with me."

It's over…

Wen Yantong wanted to cry but had no tears. Last time, Li Boyuan dragged her into his dormitory, she stayed for a whole afternoon before coming out. She didn’t know how long she had to stay and copy the script for this time.

She glanced at Fu Zixian. You sneaky rascal, actually can kill people so silently!

Fu Zijian thought she was worried about the herbs, so he kindly said, "You don't need to worry. I'll send these things to the dormitory for you."

"Thank you so much." Wen Yantong said, devoid of all love.

However, Fu Zixian only thought that she was very grateful and smiled embarrassedly. After saying goodbye, he left with Wen Yantong's herbal medicine.

And Wen Yantong was taken to the dormitory by Li Boyuan again.
