The Villainous Classmate is My Lucky Star

Chapter 25: Attracted Fu Shi's Attention Part 2

"Tomorrow Chaoge seems to be hosting a Snow Prayer Festival. Are you interested in going to see it?" Fu Zixian saw that she was struggling to walk with the xiqin on her back, so he took the qin in his hand.

Wen Yantong was stunned for a moment. "Snow Prayer Festival huh..."

The first snow in winter is a special and sacred existence for the people of Shao Jing’. It is said that a hundred years ago, Shao Jing was attacked by a powerful enemy. The soldiers of the enemy country were extremely ferocious, and the soldiers of Shao Jing, who enjoyed peace for several years, were defeated steadily. Half of the mountains and rivers were lost within those seven years. There were countless casualties, and all of Shao Jing’s people had lost many of their relatives and friends who were drafted.

Those were the darkest seven years recorded in the annals of history. The country almost changed hands, and Shao Jing was almost wiped out.

In the 42nd year of Jiaye, the people of Shao Jing, who were struggling to resist the enemy, ushered in the first snow of winter, a huge snowstorm that had not been seen in almost a century.

Ferocious enemy countries have always lived in areas with mild climates, so they have never experienced such severe cold and snow. They were trying to find ways to cope, but many had still died from the cold. On the contrary, Shao Jing was used to the wind and snow, which allowed Shao Jing's soldiers to counterattack in one fell swoop, completely expelling the enemy from the country.

Hundreds of years later, no other country was able to break through the border of Shao Jing, even though there never came a snowstorm as ferocious as the one from the 42nd year.

The people of Shao Jing believed that the snowstorm was a gift from the Heavens, so the emperor designated the first snow in the winter as a grand festival. If the first snow comes later than the previous year, an altar should be set up to pray for the first snow to come.

Therefore, the Snow Prayer Festival is also a grand event in Chaoge. It must be lively and crowded that day.

Wen Yantong wanted to go.

But she glanced at her leg, which was still wrapped in wooden splints, and sighed. "Forget it. Just look at my leg. What if I get crushed?"

"It doesn't matter. You can stand farther away from the crowd," Fu Zixian said. "The venue for the sacrifice is large enough that you won't need to squeeze for space as long as we don’t stand in front."

Hearing this, Wen Yantong happily said, "That's great! When will you go tomorrow?"

"It’s very early, and the sacrifices will start at the fourth quarter of mao-shi (5-7 a.m.), so we need to arrive before then." Fu Zixian continued. "If I leave from home to pick you up, then you have to get up earlier. Most likely before mao-shi."

She slowly counted with her fingers. So I have to wake up before five o'clock. Although it was a little early, it was worth it to participate in this activity. Wen Yantong nodded in agreement. "Ok. Then I will wait for you at the gate of the academy after I get up."

"No. I'll pick you up at the door of the dormitory," Fu Zixian said.

Wen Yantong smiled, thinking how cute Fu Zixian was behaving. Such a kind comrade. . "Okay," she replied.

The two talked, laughed, and walked very slowly. Mu Yang saw it with his sharp eyes and muttered, "The Fu Family's son has a good relationship with Wen Yantong. They eat together all day."

Chi Jingxi glanced casually in their direction and said nothing. Because he didn't sleep well, he felt lethargic all day and was already sleepy before it was even dark outside. He just wanted to go back to bed early.

Cheng Xin said, "Of everyone in the Fu Residence, only he can be considered a sincere one."

Mu Yang pouted, still looking down on him. "His voice is quieter than a mosquito, so it's appropriate that he’s friends with Wen Yantong."

Cheng Xin smiled and said, "Don't look at these two people and think they are timid. Although they look like it, they are actually quite quick-witted."

Mu Yang did not refute him because this Fifth Highness had always been smart, and arguing with him was meaningless. He turned to Chi Jingxi and asked, "Brother Xi, what do you think about that Wen Yantong?"

Chi Jingxi was lazy and didn't want to say so much. "Nothing to think about. I don't have so much time to focus on a waste." He moved his stiff shoulders and neck around for a stretch. "The Snow Prayer Festival is tomorrow morning. Go back to rest early. Best to be careful and not get the wrong time."

After listening to his words, Mu Yang remembered that there was such an event. Chi Jingxi told him especially because he was beaten by General Mu for missing the beginning of the Snow Prayer Festival last time. Half of his buttocks was beaten till it was swollen.

During that time, he could only sit with half of his buttocks. It was really miserable!

Mu Yang remembered last year's tragic situation and immediately vowed, "I will not oversleep this year!"

The three of them left the academy after talking. Mu Yang was thinking about this all the way, and he continued to think about it in bed that night.

But even so, Mu Yang still overslept. And on the way to the sacrifice site in a hurry, he hit the carriage that Fu Zixian and Wen Yantong were sitting on.

The wheel of the Fu Residence's carriage cracked.

Mu Yang rolled over from his seat due to the impact, and his heart chilled in an instant. He subconsciously covered his butt. It’s over! The other half of the butt may not be able to make it this year!
