"Let's hurry, or there won't be any meat left."

Ignoring Ma Wencai, Su Yuanyuan pulled Zhu Yingtai toward the cafeteria.

Ma Wencai followed slowly behind with steady steps, which made Su Yuanyuan glare at him again.

What are you showing off for? As if everyone has had long legs. She was once 1.8 meters tall.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Su Yuanyuan was right; only vegetarian dishes were left to eat.

She poked at the cabbage with her chopsticks, and the meal tasted bland and unappetizing.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Su Yuanyuan went to the back mountain and roasted a chicken to satisfy her craving; the chicken was taken from her spatial storage.

She wandered around the mountain for half a day but didn't see a single small animal. Before leaving, she roasted two more, since there were still three people in the dormitory.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard noises coming from Ma Wencai's room next door. Su Yuanyuan hid in the corner and watched Ma Wencai, who was dressed neatly.

Judging from the direction he went, he must have gotten up to use the restroom. Su Yuanyuan's eyes darted around, and she grinned in the darkness.

She found a spot near the door and hid herself in the shadows.

"Ah! Who!"

Ma Wencai returned shortly after. Su Yuanyuan seized the opportunity and swiftly and accurately punched him in the eye. Without hesitation, she turned and jumped over the wall and ran away.

After wandering around outside for a while to make sure no one was following him, he secretly jumped back through the window.

"Xiao Shi, where have you been?"

Zhu Yingtai was still sitting at the table reading when she heard the sound and turned around to see her coming in through the window.

Su Yuanyuan placed two roasted chickens on the table, but did not see Yin Xin and Yin Ping.

"Look what I brought you! Where did the other two go?"

"They went to fetch water, what did you bring?"

Zhu Yingtai moved all the books off the table so that she would have a place to put her things, and then went over to see what she had brought.

"Roast chicken? Where did you get that?"

Zhu Yingtai smiled immediately upon seeing the roast chicken. She hadn't eaten much for dinner and was already quite hungry. She had originally wanted to eat some pastries.

Su Yuanyuan pointed to the back mountain, "I caught it on the mountain, eat it while it's hot."

"Aren't you going to eat?"

Zhu Yingtai tore off a chicken leg and handed it to her, but Su Yuanyuan shook her head and refused.

"You eat, I've already eaten on the mountain."

Hearing her say that, Zhu Yingtai started eating it herself, leaving the other one unopened, to be given to Yin Xin and Yin Ping when they returned.

Su Yuanyuan watched her eat, then went over and took all the books off the table. What was she reading so late at night? With only two candles, wasn't she afraid of going blind?

"Master, you are back."

As soon as Yinping entered the door, she smelled the delicious aroma. She saw her young master tidying up his books, while the ninth young master was enjoying a chicken leg.

"Yinping, Yinxin, come and see what I brought you."

The two put the water aside and looked at the roast chicken that Zhu Yingtai was eating, their eyes involuntarily falling on another paper package.

Su Yuanyuan smiled and pushed the paper package forward, and the two men followed her gaze, making Zhu Yingtai and Su Yuanyuan laugh.

"Eat up, this is for you guys."

The two men exchanged a glance and bowed in unison, "Thank you, young master."

While the others were eating roast chicken, Su Yuanyuan poured herself some water, tidied herself up a bit, and lay comfortably on the bed with a smile on her lips.

Her biggest achievement tonight was beating up Ma Wencai, which finally made her feel a little better.

In the dark, she moved quickly, and Ma Wencai probably didn't know who she was, which made her feel even better.

She needs to go to bed early; there's bound to be a good show tomorrow morning.

The next morning, she was awakened by the sound of swordsmanship. In this courtyard, only Ma Wencai would practice swordsmanship so early.

Su Yuanyuan got up with a sour face, put on her clothes and went out. The cursing words she was about to say were swallowed back when she saw his bruised eyes.

puff!

In the end, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. Ma Wencai's fierce gaze immediately fell on her. Su Yuanyuan coughed lightly, still smiling.

"Brother Wencai, what happened to your face?"

Ma Wencai covered his eyes with one hand, did not answer her question, but instead asked her sternly.

Where were you last night?

Su Yuanyuan blinked innocently, "In the dormitory."

Judging from his clenched teeth, he didn't believe Su Yuanyuan at all.

Su Yuanyuan looked at him with a smile on her face, "Brother Wencai, do you need me to help you ask for leave?"

Ma Wencai sheathed his sword, no longer covering his eyes, and glared fiercely at her.

"Ha! No need."

After saying that, she turned and went into the next room. Su Yuanyuan went back to her room and closed the door before laughing loudly. It's good to have high combat power; you can get revenge on the spot.

Zhu Yingtai, who had just finished dressing, looked at her strangely and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ma Wencai got beaten up, and it looked hilarious."

Su Yuanyuan casually mentioned that she was pouring water to wash up, while Yin Xin and Yin Ping lived with the other pageboys.

Like them, they needed to be chosen by lottery, and she also had the system cheat a little so that the two of them could share a room.

She specifically instructed last night that they didn't need to come over this morning, and she even prepared the water they would need for the morning before they left.

Fortunately, it wasn't cold. After Su Yuanyuan finished washing up, she looked up and couldn't see Zhu Yingtai anymore. Instead, she could hear her talking to Ma Wencai next door.

"Girls really are hard to keep at home once they grow up."

She muttered something under her breath and didn't call out to her. Zhu Yingtai was sensible and wouldn't stay there for too long.

Sure enough, Zhu Yingtai returned shortly afterward. As soon as he came in, he grabbed her and whispered something in her ear.

"Xiao Shi, did you hit Ma Wencai?"

"Why do you say that?"

Su Yuanyuan raised an eyebrow. What was Ma Wencai implying to her?

"I... I just feel that, and you're the only one in the academy who can beat Ma Wencai."

Zhu Yingtai stammered for a while before speaking, and then convinced herself, looking at her with a righteous air.

Su Yuanyuan glared at her speechlessly, "Are you going to tell him?"

Zhu Yingtai quickly shook her head, "How could that be? You must have hit him because he offended you somehow. Besides, you're my sister, of course I'll help you."

Su Yuanyuan smiled slightly, feeling pleased. Wasn't Zhu Yingtai a bit love-struck?

"Never mind that, hurry up and finish washing up, then we'll go eat."

Zhu Yingtai nodded and walked away, while Su Yuanyuan stood at the door waiting for her in a good mood.

Even when Zhu Yingtai had to deliver food to Ma Wencai during mealtimes, leaving her alone in the cafeteria, she didn't get angry.

Today, in the first lesson, the teacher led them to read the Four Books and Five Classics. What made Su Yuanyuan suffer was the difficulty in understanding them. As a modern person, it was already difficult for her to read the classical Chinese texts, let alone understand their meaning.

Throughout the entire class, she dared not meet the teacher's gaze, her heart pounding like a drum. Fortunately, the teacher did not call on her, perhaps because he had noticed her poor academic performance.

In short, having narrowly escaped a class without any major incidents, Su Yuanyuan sighed with relief.

"Your performance in class was so obvious; I could tell you didn't understand it."

Zhu Yingtai stood in front of her, holding a book, her eyes brimming with uncontrollable laughter.
