Chapter 84 A Small Revenge Against Wu Yutian (2)

After a while of slacking off, Wen Yantong noticed Wu Yutian also loafing not far away. He was chatting with the people next to him, looking very arrogant.

Wen Yantong couldn't bear the sight of him being so full of himself. Once she thought back to when he had framed her by killing Wu-dou before, she felt even more uncomfortable, so she decided to walk to him with a shovel still in her hand.

She slowly hoisted a shovel full of snow and then threw it on Wu Yutian with all her might. The snow completely covered his head and face.

Wu Yutian let out a loud cry.

Wen Yantong immediately dropped the shovel and stepped forward. "Oh, my apologies! I didn't see Wu gongzi standing so close by!"

She grabbed Wu Yutian's collar and shook it vigorously. The snow fell down his neck into his clothes, and Wu Yutian yelled a few times at the sudden chill. When he saw the perpetrator was Wen Yantong, his immediate reaction was to push her.

Fortunately, Wen Yantong was already prepared and dodged to the side. She quickly tripped Wu Yutian and pushed his back, making Wu Yutian fall into the snow.

Everything was going as Wen Yantong planned! She immediately knelt down and pressed his shoulders with her knees. She then moved a large amount of snow and buried Wu Yutian's body in an instant.

Taking the opportunity, she grabbed two handfuls and stuffed them into his collar.

Freeze to death, you bastard!

Wu Yutian squealed like a pig, but he still didn't forget to scold Wen Yantong while struggling to get up. However, Wen Yantong didn't give him a chance. When he opened his mouth, she shoved a mouthful of snow into it, making his mouth full of ice cold.

In the end, Zhao Yu saw this scramble and hurried over. By then, Wen Yantong was pulled away by Fu Zixian.

Wu Yutian was so angry that he got up from the snow and started to cuss profusely. Who knew that Li Boyuan was standing beside him and immediately kicked him. "As well-educated literati, you dare to use such unclean words to insult one’s own classmates! What happened to all the knowledge you’ve learned. Did it get swallowed up by a dog?!"

Wu Yutian was scared out of his wits. He immediately admitted his mistake and accused Wen Yantong of his crimes.

Wen Yantong frowned and pretended to be innocent. "I was accidentally tripped by Wu Yutian just now. I didn't want to be on top of him either."

Wu Yutian was so angry with her innocent look that he jumped three feet high. "He is faking it! Faking it! He even stuffed snow down my neck!..."

Li Boyuan slapped him across the face. "Shut up! Clear the snow honestly! If you dare to make trouble again, I’ll have you stay here until nightfall!"

Wu Yutian shut up aggrievedly.

Wen Yantong naturally was also given a scolding, but with Zhao Yu talking beside her, Li Boyuan didn't use his hands to speak.

The time of snow sweeping passed quickly.

In fact, this wasn’t supposed to be a lengthy task anyways. After all, these were all rich young masters. Though it was called ‘snow clearing’, it was only a small exercise; no one dared to let them actually work hard. The rest of the time was spent in the temple, silently reciting scriptures.

Wen Yantong was dozing off the whole time when the rest of her classmates were reciting silently; she was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open. Chi Jingxi and the others were in another temple. Mu Yang had followed Chi Jingxi without authorization during the sweeping snow assignment in the afternoon, and he had yet to come back. Since there was nothing interesting going on, sleepiness naturally enveloped Wen Yantong.

When the silent recitation ended, Wen Yantong also finished napping. The wind was very cold at night, so she and Fu Zixian had a hasty meal and went back to their rooms.

Zhang Jieran was already reading in the room. Wen Yantong didn't bother him. Instead, she went to boil some water for a simple scrubbing and then went back to the room.

The two-person room had a small bedroom on both sides, and the middle room, which was used as a common room, was equipped with tables and chairs. Wen Yantong moved the table and chairs away, took a spare quilt, and spread it on the cleaned floor. After everything was completed, she called Zhang Jieran over to sit down.

She was still waiting to ask about this morning's affair.

Zhang Jieran closed the book, went toward the quilt, took off his shoes, and sat down. He then asked, "Brother Wen, why did you spread the quilt on the floor?"

"For ambience," Wen Yantong replied matter-of-factly.

Zhang Jieran nodded half understanding. "What do you want to know, Brother Wen?"

Wen Yantong said, "Of course, the reason why you didn't sleep well in Nian'an Temple last year."

Zhang Jieran then said, "It's a long story. Because it's been a year, I probably forgot some things. But whatever I still recall, I’ll tell you, Brother Wen."

"Then tell me quickly!" Wen Yantong urged.

Zhang Jieran was silent for a while as if he was thinking about where to start. However, just when he was about to speak, Wen Yantong interrupted him, "Wait a moment."

She got up, ran to her bed, and picked up her quilt, which she threw beside Zhang Jieran. Wen Yantong then moved the small heater closer and said, "Cover yourself. This heater is not warm enough. Be careful of catching a cold." 

Zhang Jieran shook his head. "Brother Wen, you have a weaker body, so you should cover yourself."

Wen Yantong didn't resist as she wrapped the quilt around her body. Just as she sat down, she recalled something else and asked Zhang Jieran to wait for a while again.

This time she put on her shoes and went out. Not long after, she brought Fu Zixian back when she came back. Wen Yantong said with a smile, "The more, the merrier."

Fu Zixian looked dazed. He was about to go to bed after washing his hands and feet when Wen Yantong brought him here.

Wen Yantong pushed him onto the spare quilt, and they all sat down. The quilt was actually not that big, and it was just right for three people to sit on. Any more people, and there would be no more space between each person.

Wen Yantong was finally ready and was about to let him start talking when she suddenly heard the sound of knocking.

The three of them looked at the door at the same time. Wen Yantong called out, "Who is it? I’m already in bed, sleeping! If it’s nothing, then leave!"

The next moment, Mu Yang's voice sounded outside the door. "You? Sleep early? Who are you lying to?!"

This rascal really came. Wen Yantong thought as she ran over to open the door for him. However, when she opened the door, she found that Mu Yang was not alone.

He also brought Chi Jingxi, Cheng Xin, and Cheng Xiao.
