Chapter 23: Slept Until Li Boyuan Ca Back 2After practicing seriously for about two hours, Wen Yantong felt that half of her body was numb. Sleepiness gradually hit her eyes as she suppressed her voice when she yawned.It was mainly because Li Boyuan's study was too warm. In the cold winter, the warmth easily induced drowsiness in people, and Wen Yantong was not exempted from this.Originally, she felt nervous because Chi Jingxi was around, but as ti passed, her nerves completely relaxed. If Chi Jingxi was really fierce and spoke ill of her or beat her, it would make her keep her vigilance.But Chi Jingxi didn't act so abhorrent. He just said a few unpleasant words and had an attitude.This was a wonderful state of mind. Its like listening to rumors about how a certain person was a wicked villain, but after getting closer, you find out that the said person was just a little bit fierce. Hes still not very easy to get along with, but aside from that, there was nothing else to complain about.Perhaps because he was still a teenager, Chi Jingxi was not as terrifying as described in the book.translate(d) by puretl . com / do not steal / re po/stAfter realizing this, Wen Yantong started to relax and fell into a deep slumber.In her previous class, she had already honed the skills of sitting and napping. Now she was using this skill to take a quiet nap under Chi Jingxi's eyes.Wen Yantong originally planned to keep writing after a short nap, but the more she slept, the more sleepy she beca. Eventually, she just laid her head down on the table. As a result, she slept until Li Boyuan ca back.Chi Jingxi tapped the table twice before pulling her out of her sleep. Wen Yantong sat up in a panic, and when she looked up, she saw that Li Boyuan's face was as black as Bao Qingtian's mini statue at the door of the study.Imdiately she shivered in fear: Sh!t, Im screwed!Wen Yantong just woke up, so she was still a little groggy. There were even ink marks printed on her face.Thus, she endured half an hour of criticism with these ink marks, and only in the end, with tears in her eyes, swearing that she would never be lazy again, did Li Boyuan let her off.Then Li Boyuan took her paper and looked at it.Wen Yantong was very anxious. She was worried that Li Boyuan would be dissatisfied, and she would be scolded for another half an hour. Chi Jingxi was still sitting upright, as if he didn't hear her being criticized at all, but Wen Yantong saw the ridicule in his expression.Wen Yantong: I hate this!Unexpectedly, Li Boyuan did not get angry but softened his tone a lot. "I can see that you wholeheartedly practiced calligraphy. However, the strokes are still unstable, and the characters are not well ford. You need to practice more."Wen Yantong was flattered and hurriedly said, "What the Teacher said is very true. The student is taught and will practice calligraphy seriously in the future.""But Jingxi's characters are much more difficult than standard script." Li Boyuan glanced at her. "You should learn regular script first."Wen Yantong looked at Chi Jingxi and whispered, "This student wanted to learn it because Little Marquis' calligraphy looks much better than standard script.""You still can't control the strength of your strokes. It's really difficult to learn his handwriting," Li Boyuan said.Wen Yantong realized Li Boyuans aning. He was telling her she would not be a fat person after taking a bite, so she followed his instructions. "This student knows and will definitely practice standard script well."Chi Jingxi's nib paused, leaving ink marks on the paper for the third ti that day. He simply put the pen down and said to Li Boyuan, "Teacher, it's getting late. This is where I stop copying. Ill finish the rest tomorrow."Li Boyuan imdiately put Wen Yantong's paper away, walked over to him, and looked at his work, his facial features stretching out with a smile. "Thats okay. You copied a lot. I can write the rest myself."Chi Jingxi smiled politely. He then got up, walked to the shelf next to the door, took off his cloak, and said, "Teacher, don't stay up too late copying. You are not young anymore. You must care for your eyes."Li Boyuan smiled. "You child, you always hold that against . I'm not old enough to be worrying about poor eyesight."Chi Jingxi smiled and didnt reply.Wen Yantong looked at the way the two got along and rembered that Chi Jingxi was also taught by Li Boyuan since childhood, so the relationship between the two was naturally good.Chi Jingxi was about to leave, so of course, she wouldn't stay. Wen Yantong silently packed up the things she had copied, folded them up, put them in her sleeves, and stood up slowly.The three of them ca to the door one after the other, and when they pulled up the curtains and ca out, Wen Yantong realized that it was completely dark.It got dark early in winter, and the wind beca colder. She couldn't help but shiver after coming out of a warm room.While she was putting on her shoes, she heard Li Boyuan say, "Jingxi, it is inconvenient and unsafe for Wen Yantong with his crutch to walk at night. You can take him back before you leave the academy."Wen Yantong was startled and imdiately blurted out, "There's no need for that!"Who knew that as soon as these words were spoken, she was stared at by two pairs of eyes.
