Chapter 41 Generous Teaching (1)

Wen Yantong was so deep in her thoughts that she didn't pay attention and stared for a long time, causing Chi Jingxi to become unhappy.

"What are you looking at?" Chi Jingxi stopped writing and asked.

Wen Yantong suddenly came back to her senses and said to Chi Jingxi, "I'm just thinking. After sitting for such a long time without moving, don’t your hands and legs feel numb?"

Chi Jingxi sneered coldly. "You have so many things to worry about."

"I'm just concerned about you," Wen Yantong whispered. "I've been sitting for just a little while, but I already can’t feel my legs."

Before Chi Jingxi could speak, he heard Li Boyuan say, "Stand up and walk around, let the blood in your legs flow."

Wen Yantong agreed and then slowly climbed up against the table. Just as she was about to walk around, she saw Li Boyuan walking beside her. He leaned over and picked up her paper.

"Hmm?" Li Boyuan squeezed out a sound from his nose, sounding confused while staring at her writing. "Didn't I ask you to practice regular script?"

Wen Yantong's body froze. She had forgotten that she had been imitating Chi Jingxi's characters these days. Although she didn't quite grasp the feeling of the characters, the physical characters were three to four points similar to Chi Jingxi’s.

"I-I really like Little Marquis's words..." Wen Yantong said in a low voice.

When Chi Jingxi heard her whisper, the tip of his brush pen paused, leaving an ink mark on the paper. Recalling the three ink marks he left on the paper last time, he frowned and put the brush down. He chose to close his eyes gently to let them rest for a while.

Li Boyuan read her calligraphy over again and said, "I can see that you have practiced calligraphy recently, but Jingxi's calligraphy can’t be replicated in a day. If you want to practice it well, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

Wen Yantong nodded quickly.

"You have only learned the skin, not the bones. If you continue to practice like this, your efforts will not bear fruit…" Li Boyuan glanced at Chi Jingxi, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said, "Jingxi, take a break and teach Wen Yantong how to write strokes."

Chi Jingxi opened his eyes, showing a strong reluctance on his face. Even though he would usually never go against his teacher’s wishes, he couldn't help but say, "...Mastering strokes should be more effective by pondering on one’s own."

Li Boyuan said, "It's true that calligraphy needs to be understood by oneself. But Wen Yantong's brain is not very bright. Without any outside help, it may take him forever to achieve enlightenment. Since he likes your calligraphy, you can teach him a little bit and lead him in the right direction."

The ‘not-so-bright’ Wen Yantong sniffed and stared blankly at Chi Jingxi.

Chi Jingxi couldn't shirk his responsibility any further, so he could only take out a blank piece of paper and move the article he was transcribing aside. Seeing this, Wen Yantong joyfully sat beside Chi Jingxi. In a not-too-close nor too-far distance, she waited for him to pick up the pen obediently.

Li Boyuan smiled and put Wen Yantong's paper next to Chi Jingxi's hand, "Look at his writing."

Chi Jingxi showed a faint surprise when he picked up the paper.

When he saw Wen Yantong's words previously, it was too crooked to even enter his eyes, but after half a month, his writing became decent. It really imitated his writing, as demonstrated by some horizontal and vertical ticks.

Chi Jingxi suppressed his impatience and read her words. He found some unsightly written words, disassembled the structures one by one, and put them in front of Wen Yantong. "Look at it. Do you see the difference?"

Wen Yantong cautiously stretched out her head to look, but after looking back and forth several times, she couldn't find the difference. She had no choice but to shake her head.

Chi Jingxi's eyebrows twitched as if signaling that he was about to explode. Wen Yantong hurriedly glanced at Li Boyuan. Her eyes seemed to be telling Chi Jingxi:

You can't curse. The teacher is here!

Chi Jingxi swallowed the breath again and pointed to a certain stroke of the character. "Here. Look carefully."

Wen Yantong was quite amused when she saw that he was unable to release his anger. She pretended to look carefully but still shook her head in the end. "I don’t see it."

"Your eyes..." Chi Jingxi opened his mouth to scold her, but the next moment, his words took a turn abruptly, "They’re as big as goose eggs! How can you not see the difference?"

Holy crap. Are those even human eyes?!

Appalled, Wen Yantong said in a deadpan tone, "Little Marquis' metaphor is quite unique."

Chi Jingxi tapped the paper several times in a row, clearly revealing his impatience. His voice was full of threats, "If you don't look carefully, I can make this metaphor come true."

"Really?" Wen Yantong gasped in surprise. She turned around and called to Li Boyuan, "Teacher Li, Little Marquis said that he can turn a human's eyes into the size of goose eggs. How amazing is that!"

Li Boyuan turned his head to look, his eyes full of surprise. "Really? Jingxi, do you have such ability?"

Chi Jingxi was so angry that he could only close his eyes and tried to calm his anger. He then turned his head and smiled at Li Boyuan. "Yes, the solution is actually quite simple."

"Do tell." Li Boyuan’s interest was piqued.

"With just one punch, it can be swollen to the size of a goose egg," Chi Jingxi said casually.

Wen Yantong: Mommy, help! QAQ
