Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 63 Coming up every night

Luo Qingfeng didn't dare to refuse and sat down as instructed.

Bai Ruofei didn't say much, but directly opened the damaged book from last night and ordered, "Translate the first two sentences first."

Luo Qingfeng looked down and examined it carefully.

After a moment's thought, he recited: "In the second year of Yuanzhao, I traveled alone with my sword down the river by boat and arrived at White Ape City, where I saw what had happened then..."

Bai Ruofei stretched out her slender finger and pointed to the bottom half of the sentence.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at it and read aloud: "That night, the starry sky was dazzling, and all was silent. I strolled through the city and heard..."

Bai Ruofei turned another page and pointed to the other half of the sentence.

Luo Qingfeng muttered, "Breakfast is roasted human flesh! I feel nauseous, I'm leaving..."

Bai Ruofei appeared dazed and stopped speaking. Her slender fingers hovered over the pages of the book, remaining motionless as if lost in thought.

Luo Qingfeng turned his head and glanced at her.

The two sat very close, their bodies almost touching. He could clearly smell her faint fragrance, which did not come from anything else, but seemed to be her own natural feminine scent.

The sunlight fell on her fair and beautiful face, making her as captivating as a lotus in its first bloom.

"Is it pretty?"

She suddenly turned her head and asked.

Luo Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and looked down at the yellowed books on the table.

Bai Ruofei said, "I'm asking you a question."

Luo Qingfeng lowered his head and said truthfully, "It looks good."

Bai Ruofei took out a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, placed them in front of him, and said, "Write down the contents of the book, and I will let you read it every day."

Luo Qingfeng replied, "Senior Bai, what you actually meant was that I should come and translate and copy for you every day?"

Bai Ruofei looked at him and asked, "Is there a difference?"

Luo Qingfeng didn't say anything more.

Since you've already promised, you should naturally keep your word.

He picked up his pen, looked at the tattered books on the table, and frowned, saying, "Each sentence only contains half of the content."

Bai Ruofei paused for a moment, then said, "For the remaining half, guess based on the sentences you wrote. Can you help me guess?"

Luo Qingfeng asked, "What if we're wrong?"

Bai Ruofei turned her head and looked at him closely, saying, "Then I'll hit you."

As she spoke, her warm breath fell on Luo Qingfeng's face, making his cheeks itch, but he dared not scratch or say anything.

"Then this disciple will give it a try."

He picked up his pen, turned to the first page of the book, and was about to dip it in ink when he discovered that there was only an ink stick in the inkstone.

He turned his head and looked at her.

She turned her head and looked at him.

After staring at each other for a while, Luo Qingfeng finally said, "No ink."

Bai Ruofei's expression was aloof: "You want me to grind ink for you?"

It should be noted that grinding ink was a task usually done by servants.

Luo Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Senior Bai, how about I grind the ink and you write? That would be more efficient. It's too slow if I grind the ink and write by myself."

Bai Ruofei paused for a moment, glanced at the inkstone, then at the book, then at him, and remained silent for a long time before finally reaching out, taking the inkstone in front of her, picking up the ink stick, and beginning to grind.

Luo Qingfeng whispered a reminder: "Water is needed to grind it."

Bai Ruofei paused for a moment before picking up the tea and pouring it into the inkstone.

"Crunch... crunch..."

The ink stick began to mix with the tea and start grinding.

Luo Qingfeng looked at the text on the first page and reminded her, "Grind it gently, in circles, be careful not to break it."

The creaking sound then subsided.

Luo Qingfeng picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and began to write.

After writing half a sentence, he said, "I'll leave the second half blank for now. I'll fill it in when Senior Bai has thought it through. That way it'll be faster."

Bai Ruofei ground the ink, her pretty face slightly cold, and she remained silent.

Clearly, making her grind the ink was beneath her.

However, after Luo Qingfeng quickly wrote down a page and a half of content, she lost her enthusiasm.

Turn to the second page.

Luo Qingfeng read it once and then continued writing.

Occasionally, when the second half of a sentence was easy to guess, he would ask, and after the two of them discussed it and reached a consensus, they would write it down.

"This sentence is broken off at the word '辗'. Based on the sentences before and after, it should roughly mean 'tossing and turning, unable to sleep, until dawn'..."

Bai Ruofei leaned closer to examine him closely, almost touching his cheek. After a moment's thought, she nodded: "It should be."

Luo Qingfeng picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote down a guess. He then said, "The ink is too thick. Add some water."

Bai Ruofei's lips twitched slightly, and she glanced at him again before adding water and continuing to grind.

"The sentence should be followed by, 'The questioner is like someone attacking a hard piece of wood; he should start with the easy parts, then the knots, and in time, they can explain and resolve the issue.'"

Why?

"This is an article, connected to the preceding and following texts, as it should be. Senior Bai, you often keep books in your library, haven't you read it?"

"I've already read it; I'm just testing you. Go ahead and write it."

Luo Qingfeng picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and continued writing.

"On this day, I rescued a wolf girl on the road. She was incredibly beautiful and charming, and I couldn't resist spending a night with her, making love..."

Luo Qingfeng instinctively said, "After 'Dianluan' should be 'Daopeng', and after that... ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his foot. Looking down, he saw a small foot under a skirt stepping on his foot.

"Next chapter."

Bai Ruofei said coldly, looking quite angry, her fair face already turning ashen.

This was the first time Luo Qingfeng had seen her so emotionally fluctuate. He thought to himself, "This book looks like the diary of a member of the demon race. Could it be that she knows the person?"

Luo Qingfeng skipped this one and moved on to the next.

Before we knew it, the sun had already set in the west, and the light in the room had dimmed.

Luo Qingfeng wrote all day and his wrists were a little sore.

Bai Ruofei had been grinding her fingers all day, and even her snow-white jade fingers had turned black.

That's enough for today, let's go eat.

Bai Ruofei put down the ink block and said.

Luo Qingfeng's stomach was growling with hunger, so she probably heard it. Upon hearing this, she stood up, bowed, and said, "Senior Bai, may I speak of my second request?"

Bai Ruofei looked at the words on the table and said, "Speak."

Luo Qingfeng respectfully said, "The Yuan family of the South Courtyard, including Yuan Tong, harbor ill intentions towards one of my friends. I hope Senior Bai can help me bring my friend to the North Courtyard."

Bai Ruofei looked down at the words he had written down and said calmly, "Disciples of the two academies are forbidden from stealing from each other, unless they are new disciples."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "What if she leaves the South Courtyard on her own initiative?"

Bai Ruofei said, "That won't do either."

Luo Qingfeng fell silent.

After a while.

Bai Ruofei looked up at him and said, "If others can't, I can."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "Please help me, Senior Bai."

Bai Ruofei said, "I can let her come to the North Courtyard, but she is not allowed to step into this place, and you are not allowed to stay out all night. Also, starting tonight, you must come to see me every night. Unless you go to cultivate or do a mission."

Luo Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "As long as Senior Bai is willing to help, this disciple agrees."

Bai Ruofei glanced at him a few more times, then got up to tidy up the papers on the table, saying, "Go and tell her to resign from her post in the academy tomorrow. I will have someone take care of the rest."

Luo Qingfeng quickly said, "Thank you, Senior Bai."

Bai Ruofei ignored him and carefully organized all the papers on the table.

Luo Qingfeng took his leave and went downstairs.

When they reached the first floor, Granny Ning was resting with her eyes closed in a chair in the corner. She asked directly, "Is my young lady satisfied?"

Luo Qingfeng cupped his hands and said, "Senior Bai instructed me to go upstairs every night."

Granny Ning opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them: "Which floor?"

Luo Qingfeng said, "Senior Bai didn't say, so it should still be the fourth floor."

Grandma Ning looked at him and said nothing more.

Luo Qingfeng said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mother-in-law, I have some things to do tonight, so I might be back a little late. What do you think..."

Granny Ning said expressionlessly, "Just don't delay Miss's business."

Luo Qingfeng said, "It definitely won't be a delay."

Grandma Ning closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Luo Qingfeng wisely left.

After leaving the North Courtyard, I went to the side gate of the South Courtyard and waited for a long time, but I did not see the Nightingale.

He had no choice but to leave and head straight for the Red Leaf Alley.

Lost in thought the whole way, we arrived quickly.
