It was already the second day since Shangguan Yi had been rescued by a passerby.
Because he often stayed overnight at brothels, the people in his household were accustod to his not returning ho at night, so they didn't think to look for him.
Shangguan Yi usually had several guards accompanying him, but those n were assigned by his father. His father detested his son's daily idleness and wanted the guards to keep an eye on him. Shangguan Yi had a big argunt with his father about this and subsequently dismissed the guards. He prided himself on his martial arts skills and didn't allow anyone else to follow him around, but he hadn't anticipated last night's incident.
After returning ho, the servants called for a doctor to attend to him. The doctor applied dicine and said it was just so superficial wounds that would heal in a few days with so rest. Shangguan Yi was already planning in his mind how he would seek revenge once he recovered.
At this mont, Xu Linghe was practicing with a large sword at her residence.
Hong Ying watched from the side and said, "Miss, I've sent soone to inquire about the Miss Feng you ntioned."
Upon hearing this, Xu Linghe planted her sword on the ground and said, "Tell !"
"According to the information we gathered, she is the daughter of the late General Mu Yuanshan. She has close ties to the General's Mansion, and it seems Princess Xuan He favors her as a potential daughter-in-law."
Xu Linghe: "I see. So the person she said she admired is General Qin."
"Miss, I've also received news about Young Master Shangguan. They say soone rescued him this morning, and a doctor was called as soon as he returned ho."
"I knew my limits. It's just so superficial wounds. He should learn his lesson now."
She couldn't understand what she had done to offend him. He always mocked her every ti they t. No wonder his engagent was called off.
Hong Ying: "Miss, do you think Young Master Shangguan will guess that you were behind last night's incident?"
"Everything requires evidence. Does he have any? Without evidence, it's just slander."
Even if he knew she did it, so what? As long as she didn't admit it, no one could do anything to her. Besides, he couldn't beat her in a fight. He was just a loser, not worth worrying about.
She wondered what Qingyi was doing and why they couldn't et for five days.
...
At the cafeteria of Jing University.
Feng Qingyi and Shen Hanyue each bought a bowl of fish noodles and were eating with relish.
"Qingyi, any updates on that thing from last ti?" Shen Hanyue suddenly asked.
Feng Qingyi: "What thing?"
Shen Hanyue: "Don't pretend you don't understand. I'm talking about what happened after I sent you those ab pics of that hot guy."
"...No updates." How could she still rember that?
Shen Hanyue seed disbelieving, "Is your boyfriend really that open-minded?"
Feng Qingyi quickly changed the subject, "I made it to the finals of that painting competition."
Shen Hanyue exclaid excitedly, "I knew you could do it! You're amazing! What do you want to eat tonight? My treat!"
"Why are you more excited than ? No need for a al. Let's wait for the final results of the competition," Feng Qingyi said.
Shen Hanyue: "Good luck in the finals! I'm rooting for you!"
Halfway through their al, Feng Qingyi saw Feng Qingci approaching with a bowl of noodles.
"Why are you here? Where's Xi Xi?"
Feng Qingci sat down next to Shen Hanyue.
"She has student council business. I heard you're not living on campus. Where are you staying now?"
"Who told you that?" Logically, Lou Xi wouldn't have told him about this.
Feng Qingci: "I had sothing to discuss with you a few days ago. I went to your dormitory and asked soone to call you. They said you had moved out long ago."
"...Yeah, I moved out. It wasn't very convenient in the dorm."
"Are you living alone now?" Feng Qingci asked.
Feng Qingyi nodded, "Yes, why?"
Feng Qingci: "Take to see it later."
"What do you want to see?" Feng Qingyi asked.
"What else? Of course, I want to see how big the place you're renting is. If it's big enough, I'll move in with you. It's not safe for you to live alone."
Feng Qingyi glanced at Shen Hanyue across the table, silently asking for help to change the subject, but she didn't seem to understand Feng Qingyi's intention and continued eating.
Feng Qingyi had to make an excuse, "I have to go to the library to study later. How about another day?"
"Are you hiding sothing from ?" Feng Qingci felt Feng Qingyi's reaction was a bit unusual.
"Of course not. If you want to live with , I'd welco it, but you'll have to pay half the rent."
Feng Qingyi thought that ntioning money might make him give up the idea.
Feng Qingci asked, "How much is the rent?"
Feng Qingyi thought for a mont, "Ten thousand a month. If you want to live there, you'll need to transfer five thousand to every month."
"I really want to see what kind of place you're renting that's so expensive! You can study anyti, it won't hurt to miss these two hours at noon. Hurry up and finish eating, then take to see it."
After finishing their al, Feng Qingyi was forced to take Feng Qingci to see the house.
When they arrived at the entrance, Feng Qingci looked at the three-story garden villa in front of him with so shock.
"You really know how to enjoy life, renting a garden villa. You must have spent all your savings on this!"
Feng Qingyi: "If you're here to see the house, just see it. Why are you talking so much? I'm not spending your money. If you want to see it, hurry up!"
After entering the villa, Feng Qingyi sat down on the sofa.
"If there's anything you want to see, go look by yourself. If you really want to live here, rember to pay the rent."
She thought to herself that his monthly allowance probably wasn't even five thousand, so he shouldn't be able to afford the rent.
Feng Qingci looked around the first floor and then went upstairs. After touring the entire villa, he returned to the living room.
"Be honest with , why are there n's clothes in that room upstairs?"
Feng Qingyi suddenly rembered that she had hung the clothes she bought for Qin Yuchuan in the guest room closet.
"I just thought those clothes looked nice, so I bought them and hung them up. You never know when they might co in handy."
Feng Qingci gave Feng Qingyi a skeptical look, "Do you think I'm an idiot? There are so many pieces of hanfu in there. They must belong to that Qin guy, right?"
"...Yes, they're his. So what?"
Feng Qingyi couldn't be bothered to make up more lies to fool him.
Feng Qingci: "So you're living together, and you moved out because of him?"
"...You're overthinking it. He only cos occasionally and hardly ever stays here."
"Starting from tonight, I'm moving in. I'll pay the rent on ti. I want to see if what you're saying is true."
Feng Qingyi felt helpless, "Where are you getting the money from?"
"I can earn money on my own now, don't worry about it. I'm going back to the dorm to pack my things now, and I've decided I'm going to stay in the room where you hung that Qin guy's clothes."
Feng Qingci left, leaving Feng Qingyi questioning her life choices.
He's willing to pay five thousand a month to live here. Just how much does he dislike Qin Yuchuan?
