The Villainous Classmate is My Lucky StarChi Jingxi looked his best when he smiled, and Wen Yantong enjoyed seeing him smile the most. Since Chi Jingxi rarely smiled in front of others, especially before they became familiar, she often saw him with a slight frown or an impatient expression.After becoming acquainted for a while, she noticed that he was usually in a calm state. Even in moments of happiness, there would only be a subtle smile in his eyes. It was quite rare to witness him smiling with his eyes fully curved.So, each time he smiled like that, Wen Yantong couldn't help but stare. Instinctively, she found the corners of her own mouth lifting in response.The two were seated in a private room and ordered some random dishes. Wen Yantong ate a lot of pastries in the afternoon, so she was not too hungry. After a couple of bites, she put down her chopsticks, rested her chin on her hands, and silently watched Chi Jingxi eat.Chi Jingxi never spoke when eating, but after his eyes collided with her many times, he finally couldn't help it, "Why are you staring at me?"Wen Yantong said earnestly, "I'm just thinking. Little Marquis, you probably should not choose to marry a particularly smart woman..."These words piqued Chi Jingxi's attention, and he asked with great interest, "Oh? Why is that?""Because you're smart enough." Wen Yantong replied, "If you married a smart wife, how dull would that life be? All that plotting and reading between the lines..."Chi Jingxi felt there was some sense in these words, so he asked, "Then what type of woman should I marry?""Someone stupid." Wen Yantong said, "Then you would complement one another."After she finished, Wen Yantong immediately bursted into laughter, and Chi Jingxi looked at her with a smile in his eyes.Then Wen Yantong added, "Of course she also has to be a little ugly. After all, Little Marquis, you are so handsome, marrying an ugly wife can help your future children from attracting too many suitors."The corners of Chi Jingxis mouth flattened. Of course she was up to no good. So he ignored her and lowered his head to eat.Wen Yantong continued to talk for a while, regardless of his replies, and only went out of the restaurant after Chi Jingxi finished eating.After eating their fill, Wen Yantong naturally didn't want to go back to the inn so soon, so she pestered Chi Jingxi for a stroll.The night in Huayang City was the busiest. Although the streets are not as wide and open as Chaoge's, there are all kinds of vendors on both sides of the road, selling all sorts of wares.Wen Yantong was in a good mood, but she only window shopped. Even if she bought it, it would only be a small trinket because she knew her limited funds. However, some of the merchants were quite keen, knowing that Wen Yantong was a foreigner, they took full advantage.She bought a firefly lantern for two taels, but near the end of the street she saw the same lantern again. When Wen Yantong went up to ask the price, she learned that it was only one tael.Wen Yantong was so angry that her nostrils flared out. She cussed the unscrupulous businessman, but it was not worth going back to argue for a tael. She also couldn't throw the lantern away to vent her anger, after all, she spent two taels on it.So she shook the lantern angrily, flicking it here and there.At the end of a street, Wen Yantong saw a girl in white kneeling on a white cloth that had scarlet words written on it. The girl was also holding a wooden sign with the words, Please spare a favor.Wen Yantong approached curiously, and saw the words written on the cloth. After skimming through it, she realized the girl was asking for money to bury her deceased father.She scratched her head, puzzled. How come shes encountering so many cliches in a single day?Chi Jingxi stood by her side for a while. Seeing that she only looked at the words on the cloth but didn't express anything, he asked, "Are you going to give her money?"Wen Yantong shook her head. "Im out of money now."Chi Jingxi also had no intention of giving alms, so the two turned their heads and left. The white-clothed girl looked up at the backs of the two. After they disappeared into the crowd, she got up, and packed her items from the ground.Strangely enough, Wen Yantong soon found that no matter where she went, she would see the same girl kneeling on the side of the road holding her wooden sign. She didn't cry or make a sound, and just knelt quietly, allowing the people passing by to look at her. From time to time someone would throw a couple copper coins into the broken rice bowl in front of her.In the end Wen Yantong stopped in her tracks, frowned and contemplated for a while. Finally, she asked the guards to give the girl two pieces of silver.This girl was clearly eyeing Chi Jingxi and her, probably because the guards around them gave her a misconception that they were from wealthy families. Because the girl just followed without doing anything, Wen Yantong didn't even have a reason to drive her away, so she might as well use two pieces of silver to end the nuisance. But no one expected that after the girl took the money, she gave Wen Yantong a tearful look, threw her sign to the side and walked over.Wen Yantong had a bad feeling, so she quickly pulled Chi Jingxi to leave. Unfortunately, when the girl saw that she was going to leave, she immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Gongzi, please stop!"This voice stopped many people, but it didn't stop Wen Yantong."This gongzi generously donated money to allow this humble one to bury my father. With nothing of value to repay, this humble one can only offer you my..."Wen Yantong quickly covered her ears, "LA LA LA LA LA LA ELMOS WORLD!"The girl paused and looked at her in astonishment.Wen Yantong didn't want to stay for a moment, so she quickly fled the scene while pushing Chi Jingzhe in front of her. The girl wanted to chase after them but was stopped by the guards.A guard stated, "If you chase after them, the money in your bowl will be taken away."When the beggar girl heard this, she went back to her station, and put all the money away. When she turned back around, ready to chase, the two of them were nowhere to be seen.Wen Yantong sprinted quite a few meters away before slowing down. These events today had completely caught her off guard. Whats strange was that she had been disguised as a man for so many months, but this was the first time she had such fateful encounters, moveover two in one day! Very soon, her mind turned and she instantly recalled Chi Jingxi scolding this morning.The mysterious metaphysics that Chi Jingxi exerted on her was completely unpredictable. Perhaps it was because of that strange lucky buff that she was hit on twice today?With this thought, Wen Yantong didn't dare to walk around the street any longer, and wanted to quickly drag Chi Jingxi back to their inn. ...
