Chapter 53 Sharing Bedrooms

Chi Jingxi's eyes sank, "Are you not sober?"

He then raised his voice, saying, "Throw him out and let him freeze a bit. Only let him in once he figures things out."

The guards were about to step forward, ready to hoist Wen Yantong up on both sides, when Wen Yantong protested strongly against being thrown out while there was a blizzard.

Wen Yantong wrapped herself in the quilt tightly and shouted, "Little Marquis, let’s talk peacefully, okay? It's so cold outside! I could freeze to death!"

She raised her voice, "What happened? What happened! I just took a shower!"

Chi Jingxi raised his hand. The two guards stopped moving.

He said, "When did you move in?"

After hearing his question, Wen Yantong vaguely sensed something was wrong and hurriedly replied, "After my leg was crippled, it was very inconvenient for me to move in the two-person dormitory. Seeing that no one lived here, I decided to move in without authorization... It couldn’t be… It couldn’t be that…"

"That's right." Cheng Xin walked out of the study, holding a book in his hand, and said with a smile, "This is Jingxi's dormitory. He just hadn’t lived in it yet. No one just expected that you would be so bold to sneak in here."

Wen Yantong's heart thumped. It seemed her worst nightmare had become a reality! Although Chi Jingxi had a bad temper, he would not trouble anyone for no reason.

When Fu Tanghuan arranged a single dormitory for her, she probably assumed that Chi Jingxi would not ever live in the Academy, so she let her move in with confidence. It's just that no one would have expected this heavy snow to come so suddenly, which led to the current situation.

This was embarrassing.

Wen Yantong hummed and chirped. "I didn't know this was the Little Marquis's bedroom… how about I'll move out now..."

"It's snowing heavily outside, and it's hard to walk. It's better not to move around right now. Just stay with Chi Jingxi for one night." Cheng Xin persuaded gently.

Chi Jingxi frowned. "Why should I live with this cripple?"

"Then what do you want to do? Are you really kicking him out?" Cheng Xin said, "It's freezing outside. It would be a hassle if he really froze to death."

Chi Jingxi turned his gaze to Wen Yantong.

Since she had just taken a shower, Wen Yantong’s skin was white with the mist, and large eyes framed her face beautifully. Meeting Jingxi's eyes, she pursed her lips cutely. "Little Marquis is so kindhearted. He definitely would not allow me to freeze to death. Even if I'm an unwelcome person, whose mind is filled with paste… a cripple who couldn’t even hold a bow properly."

Chi Jingxi didn't expect her to say these words at all and was promptly stunned into silence. Even Cheng Xin was stunned before busting out in laughter.

Bet the Little Marquis had never seen this trick before! This was something she learned while surfing the Internet!

This technique was commonly known as ‘moral kidnapping’.

When a ‘kindhearted’ hat was suddenly placed on Chi Jingxi's head, the room suddenly turned silent for a while.

Just when the room was quiet, someone suddenly pushed the door and brought in a gust of cold wind.

When everyone looked over at the same time and saw Fu Zixian come in while panting. His hair and clothes were covered with snow balls, which quickly turned into water as soon as he entered.

He looked at Chi Jingxi, and quickly explained, "Little Marquis, Wen Yantong is unaware of this matter, please don't blame him!"

Chi Jingxi's eyes narrowed, "So, you arranged him in here?"

Fu Zixian was about to speak when Wen Yantong interrupted. "It has nothing to do with him! When I was choosing a dormitory for myself, I saw that this dormitory was luxurious and looked very auspicious. That’s why I chose it! I didn’t know it was a dorm belonging to the Little Marquis! Sure enough, this dorm was not ordinary, since I moved in…”

This rainbow fart was about to blow up, but Chi Jingxi remained calm. "Shut up."

Wen Yantong lowered her voice instantly, but still finished her words in a murmur. "I’ve had good luck since I’ve moved in… I think it's because of the blessing of the Little Marquis."

Fu Zixian said, "Don't be angry, Little Marquis. I will take Wen Yantong away right now."

As he said that, he was going to pull Wen Yantong. "You can sleep with me for the time being."

Mu Yang, who happened to just walk in after folding his umbrella, heard it and raised his eyebrows in doubt. "Sleeping with you? You already share your room with another, so where would Wen Yantong sleep?"

Fu Zixian was dumbstruck. He quickly recalled that he was a concubine-born son of the Prime Minister's residence and did not have a single room.

Mu Yang added, "I have already inquired about you. You are sharing a bedroom with the concubine-born son of the Chen family."

Wen Yantong couldn't help but ask, "Why are you inquiring about this?"

"None of your business." Mu Yang turned to Fu Zixian and said, "Wen Yantong is living in Brother Xi's room, so it’s up to Brother Xi to decide. It is no longer up to you if he wants to scold or hit, you better worry about yourself. There won’t be enough charcoal for tonight, the shared bedrooms should only have enough to last for two hours at most..."

"Wow—" Wen Yantong exclaimed, "This logic is so f*cking powerful! Since you ate my snacks two days ago, you belong to me now?"

"The academy may still have some vacant rooms, it's better than letting Wen Yantong disturb the Little Marquis." Fu Zixian said.

"Just a few dumplings the size of your fingernails, you think you own me now? How could it be so cheap!" Mu Yang debated with the two of them by himself, "How can there be any vacancies? Everyone is stuck in the academy today, so there are no vacant rooms at all."

"Didn't you say that when you couldn't swallow it whole?" Wen Yantong retorted.

"I remember there are a few spare rest rooms in the academy..."

"Those rooms are far away and you would be buried in snow before you even get there."

Seeing that the three of them were bickering with each other, Chi Jingxi's face darkened, and he hit the table impatiently, "All of you, get out!"
