Daily life in the academy

A few days before Baizhi came here, when she was being pua by her boss to work overtime, there was another colleague with her. She was three years younger than Baizhi, had just joined the company and was still relatively soft-hearted. Her best friend borrowed money from her and lost contact, and she was the emergency contact. When she was called to urge her to pay back the debt, she found out that her best friend actually owed a lot of money.

Therefore, Baizhi has a particularly deep memory of this plot.

Logically speaking, if Bai Zhi wanted to stay away from disputes, stay in Yunlu Academy honestly for three years, and then fade out of everyone's sight, she should stay away from these people and watch everything develop according to the original trajectory indifferently.

But...such a vivid Yan Qingchen was standing in front of Bai Zhi. When Bai Zhi stayed up late to read, although she read it hastily, she did not skip any of Yan Qingchen's appearances.

Bai Zhi wondered if such a proud and unbridled young man's life would have been different if that incident hadn't happened? Would he and they have ended up in such a tragic way?

The young man was wearing a black riding suit, with faint traces of gold threads with the outline of flying clouds and auspicious patterns on the collar and cuffs. He looked noble and his eyes were full of arrogance.

Bai Zhi made up her mind and whispered a few words to Ye Yanliang beside her. The latter seemed a little hesitant, but after hesitating for a moment, he nodded solemnly to Bai Zhi.

At this time, Yan Qingchen was standing on the sidelines, with Mu Bailian and Wenzhe standing beside him. It was unknown what they were talking about. Mu Bailian was very excited, while Wenzhe had a calm expression and a little worried look on his face.

Mu Bailian was very excited, rubbing his hands as if he was about to go on stage: "Brother Yan, you will ride away and piss him off to death."

Wenzhe curled his lips and said, "You used that idiom well today, but... Qingchen, I looked at the almanac for today and it says it's better to be still than to move. I have a bad feeling about this, so you must be careful later."

When Bai Zhi came over, she heard Yan Qingchen say, "Xiao Qingyu looks so unattractive and useless. He should be careful."

Wenzhe was standing facing Baizhi, and when he saw her, he forced a smile: "Baizhi, are you here to cheer for Qingchen too?"

Mu Bailian immediately turned around and looked at Bai Zhi, raising his fighting stance: "How dare you come near me, little dwarf? We haven't settled our feud this morning yet!"

Bai Zhi ignored Mu Bailian. She first smiled back at Wen Zhe, then met Yan Qingchen's eyes. This time, she did not deliberately retreat. There was no fear in her eyes, only seriousness and solemnity.

"Sir, I believe you will win. However, the forest is not an official road after all. Be careful of birds and discarded ropes, so as not to startle the horse and cause an accident."

She emphasized the words "birds" and "ropes," hoping Yan Qingchen would be alert.

These words made no sense. Seeing that the man in front of him was more serious than ever before, Yan Qingchen couldn't help but feel more confused. Why did he say that?

"My brother Yan is an excellent rider, how could he have an accident? Are you deliberately cursing me?"

Bai Zhi wanted to hit him with a hammer. Why did she think Mu Bailian was gentle and interesting when she read the original book? This guy is just an idiot.

Fortunately, Wenzhe stepped in to help: "Bai Lian, can you use your brain? Who dares to curse Qing Chen in front of him? Are they trying to kill themselves? Bai Zhi is here to kindly remind you, so please don't make things worse."

There seemed to be nothing wrong with that. Mu Bailian nodded and said, "That's right. The dwarf only dared to act arrogantly with me. He was like a quail in front of Brother Yan."

Yan Qingchen listened to their conversation without saying anything, suppressing the doubts in his heart. Bai Zhi had saved Wenzhe before, so he didn't think he would have the courage to harm him. He nodded, indicating that he understood.

After getting the response, Bai Zhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when two uninvited guests arrived.

"Cousin Qingchen, I heard that you and Qingyu were having a match today, so I came here specially to cheer you on."

Mu Bailian and Wenzhe, who had their backs to the newcomer, surprisingly looked constipated. It would have been fine if Mu Bailian had a rich expression, but Baizhi was very curious about who could make Wenzhe's always sad face change so much.

Bai Zhi looked up and saw a very handsome man in purple riding clothes walking towards her, and behind him was An Ziqian, the man Bai Zhi had accidentally encountered three days ago.

In the original book, the only person who called Yan Qingchen this way and was on good terms with An Ziqian was Xue Huaiming, the son of Marquis Yong'an. The wife of Marquis Yong'an and the Princess of Ning were from the same family, so Yan Qingchen and Xue Huaiming were naturally cousins.

However, in the original book, Yan Qingchen never called Xue Huaiming "cousin." This time, he turned to look at Xue Huaiming expressionlessly, his words laced with sarcasm: "Prince Xue, are you not pretending to be a good student to cheer up the teachers today?"

"Cousin Qingchen, what you said is not true. I study hard not to please the teacher, but to be able to serve the court in the future and share the emperor's worries."

The corner of Xue Huaiming's mouth twitched slightly, but returned to normal in an instant. If Bai Zhi hadn't been staring at him, she would definitely not have noticed this little abnormality.

Of course, as soon as Master Xue opened his mouth, Bai Zhi finally understood why Mu Bailian and Wen Zhe looked so constipated. She also wanted to roll her eyes at this moment, but because she was the only small fry on the scene, she restrained herself and remained expressionless.

But Bai Zhi, who was pretending to be a quail, could feel another pair of inquiring eyes with a strong presence. She knew that the eyes came from An Ziqian, but she did not dare to look him in the eye. She still needed to do some psychological preparation. An Ziqian was a complete white and black, and it took a strong heart to play against him.

Xiao Qingyu was already ready and was calling Yan Qingchen. Coincidentally, he was too lazy to pay attention to Xue Huaiming at the moment, so he jumped on his horse and drove to the starting point.

The two horses stood side by side, Yan Qingchen on the left and Xiao Qingyu on the right. With a whistle, the race began.

The first part of the race was in a relatively open area. The two horses were in a stalemate, making it difficult to determine the winner. The focus was on the mountain road in the second half.

Before entering the mountain road, Yan Qingchen kicked the horse's belly to signal it to speed up again. The horse under him was named Shuangbai, a purple swallow horse he got when he was twelve years old. He had already had a tacit understanding with it for five years. It seemed as if it was deliberately trying to match Xiao Qingyu's horse before. Now, it quickly left Xiao Qingyu behind and took the lead into the forest.

Mu Bailian shouted happily at the starting point: "Brother Yan, go!"

Yan Qingchen turned around and looked over here, sweeping across everyone's faces, her gaze fell on Bai Zhi's solemn face, and she couldn't help but think of what she had just said: Be careful of birds and ropes...
