The Villainous Classmate is My Lucky StarChapter 137 The All-knowing Little Marquis (2)Cold sweat broke out in an instant; Wen Yantong was stunned, at a loss, and unable to respond.Chi Jingxi raised his brow slightly. "Why that expression? Didn't you already say that I knew?"Wen Yantong held back for a long time. After concluding that Chi Jingxi was already aware, it was no longer feasible to lie and conceal it, so she said, "I knew you knew, but I didn't know you knew so much.""Since you already knew that I knew, then you should have known that I would know more than just that." Chi Jingxi replied."How am I supposed to know how much you know? You always act like you know everything." Wen Yantong retorted."I do indeed know a lot, at least, I know things you don't." Chi Jingxi stated.Wen Yantong felt tired. "Okay, let's end the tongue twister here.""Isn't it uncomfortable to sit on the ground and talk?" he asked.Wen Yantong looked down. "I'm kneeling on the ground, okay? I'm admitting my mistake to you!""Did you do something wrong?" Chi Jingxi asked calmly."I dont know! Either way, I must have done something! Otherwise why did you ignore me for three whole days?" Wen Yantong questioned, "What on earth did I do to offend you?"This time, it was Chi Jingxis turn to be stunned. "I told you, I'm not angry with you.""You are! Because youve been giving me the silent treatment!" Unconvinced, Wen Yantong continued to accuse him, "At first when I talked to you, you were perfunctory and indifferent, and then you just straight up never avoided me! The first thing I do when I wake up every morning is to check if you are in the room. Same goes when I come back at night, do you know how hard I waited for you..."These words were straightforward and clearcut, her expression feigned grievance, and her tone was full of complaint.She would have never dared to speak to Chi Jingxi like this before, but for some reason, she had the confidence to do so now.Chi Jingxi no longer reacted with loathe and dislike as before, on the contrary, he was taken back by her words. His charming eyes were full of emotion as his voice softened unconsciously, "That's because Ive been busy these past couple of days... ""Even if you are busy, you shouldn't stay out at night! Where else could you sleep in this Academy?!" Wen Yantong continued kneeling on the cushion, so she was much shorter than Chi Jingxi, but her imposing manner did not falter because of it."I didnt stay out all night, I came back every night." Chi Jingxi replied."Then why didn't I see you at all?" Wen Yantong wondered. She stayed in his room every night. There was no presence of him when she went into bed or when she got up from bed. Could it be that Chi Jingxi returned after she went to bed every night and left before she woke up?Just as she was contemplating this possibility, Wen Yantong heard Chi Jingxi say, "You were already asleep when I came back and remained asleep when I left, so you didn't know I was back."Wen Yantong could no longer refute him now. After all, she couldn't blame Chi Jingxi for coming back too late and leaving too early, right? In the end, she could only blame herself for being a deep sleeper and didn't even hear any of Chi Jingxi's movements.This put her in a melancholy mood. And so, she simply sat on the soft cushion with her legs crossed, her head bowed, and remained silent.Chi Jingxi was really alienating her on purpose. She could feel it herself, but even if she asked, he didn't explain why.But Wen Yantong wasnt without a plan.She got up suddenly, grabbed the cushion, and rushed out of the study. The movement was so fast that it frightened Chi Jingxi. Chi Jingxi closed the book, got up and followed her out of the study. Right outside, he saw Wen Yantong took out a large cloth sheet from nowhere and spread it on the floor; she was moving all her little gadgets onto it.Chi Jingxi's complexion changed and he quickly walked to Wen Yantong's side. Watching her packing her things with her head lowered, he asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing?"Wen Yantong didnt stop her movements, and without raising her head, she replied, "The Little Marquis doesn't want to see me anyways, so I might as well move out. This way I won't get in the eyes of Little Marquis' and disturb the Little Marquis' rest. "She moved very quickly, because she didn't have many things, Wen Yantong finished packing in a short while. When she squatted down to tie the package all together, Chi Jingxi put his foot on a corner of the sheet.Wen Yantong tried to pull the last corner out, but the last corner remained under Chi Jingxi's foot, motionless. She had no choice but to raise her head and request, "Little Marquis, I beseech you to move your precious foot."Chi Jingxi remained steady and refused to move.Wen Yantong had no choice but to tickle the bottom of his foot. Chi Jingxi's instep itched so his muscles reflexively tensed. Taking this opportunity, she quickly pulled the corner out and folded it on the bed sheet into a big bundle. Soon, Wen Yantong recalled her qin, so she got up to get the xi-qin hanging on the wall. Chi Jingxi followed after her, step by step, "When did I say I don't want to see you?" Wen Yantong took xi-qin down. "If it wasn't for me, the Little Marquis wouldn't have to go out early and come back late at night. Anyway, I have my own assigned room, so I won't bother you here."Chi Jingxi became anxious, and grabbed her xi-qin, hurriedly trying to explain, "I said it's not because of you. I'm just busy with other things these past few days."Wen Yantong argued back, "Little Marquis, there is no need to lie. I am self-knowledgeable."Chi Jingxi was a little peeved. "Self-knowledgeable? Your bedroom is small and narrow, you dont even have the space to spread out your limbs! And the heating in your room is so insufficient, youll be forced to freeze at night. Why bother to go back?"Wen Yantong replied with a straight face, "Its the same for me, no matter which dormitory I'm in. I live here because I want to see the Little Marquis from time to time. It's not because the heating here is sufficient, not because of the plentiful servants around, nor because it's comfortable to live in. If the Little Marquis is angry with me and doesn't want to see me, I'd rather go back to my original room."These words made Chi Jingxi feel uncomfortable and angry. Although those words were ambiguous, Wen Yantong said it so confidently and naturally that he had no way to overthink it. Chi Jingxi snatched her xi-qin, walked towards her couch, and stood directly on top of Wen Yantongs bundle that was still laying on the ground.The majority of the bundle was made up of Wen Yantong clothing, as well as the small blanket that she brought. It was originally a bulging lump, but it was instantly deflated when Chi Jingxi stepped on it.Wen Yantong pursed her lips and said. "Little Marquis, don't step on my things."With a dark face, he pointed with the head of the xi-qin, "Sit here."Heeding his command, Wen Yantong walked over and sat on her couch. Chi Jingxi was already very tall, so when he stepped on her pile of things, Wen Yantong had to raise her head to look at him.Chi Jingxi looked at her with an unsightly face, "Didn't I say I wasn't mad with you?""No one would believe such words." Wen Yantong muttered.Chi Jingxi was fuming, but he tried his best to restrain his temper. "Why would I lie to you?"Wen Yantong remained silent. She was pouting and disbelief written all over her face.
