Chapter 1088 - The Reborn Young Master’s Pampered Cousin (85)
The Reborn Young Master’s Pampered Cousin (85)
Bai Weiwei said to the system, “This method’s awesome enough ba? I cuckold him, and he’ll be too anxious to take the exam. Is that vicious or not?”
System: “Too vicious.”
When Qi Chimu saw this green hat elopement letter, wouldn’t he die of anger?
Bai Weiwei: “I’ve already found a friend and asked him to help me act out this elopement drama. I’ll wait until the task prompt says I’m done and come back.”
Once the elopement task was carried out, she had to really act out an elopement.
Otherwise, she couldn’t fool the main system.
The system fell into a deep silence. Towards its host’s death-seeking behavior, it expressed infinite ‘hehe’s.
She still had to go back. Was she not afraid of getting eaten alive by Qi Chimu?
Qi Chimu spread out his draft paper. When he saw the unchanged question, he calmly began to write the answer.
Of the several examinees next to him, not many of them had pleasant expressions.
The subject of the imperial examination was difficult.
It was much harder than the previous few examinations.
So among the anguished examinees, Qi Chimu was the calmest one.
He suddenly thought of the sheets of paper Bai Weiwei had stuffed in his case.
He swept his gaze over and found that it was… a love letter.
The man I like is peerlessly handsome, of excellent learning, of noble character, gentle and considerate, likes me to death…”
Because he had been in a rush to enter the examination room, he’d only given it a brief glance.
And he’d already blushed at such straightforward words of confession.
It was a rare experience for Qi Chimu.
Of noble character? He supposed he certainly was.
Peerlessly handsome? He hadn’t seen anyone better looking than him. Other than Bai Weiwei, there was no woman who could compare.
Gentle and considerate? He dug out his heart and lungs for her. He was definitely gentle and considerate ah.
Likes her to death? What dying? He could do anything.
It turned out that what she’d given him in the middle of the night was actually a love letter!
So he straightforwardly entered with the love letter.
Those who conducted a body search then looked at him with an indescribable expression.
One of the soldiers carrying out the inspection said, “Bringing this with you, is it to give yourself the motivation to pass the examination?”
Getting divorced and cuckolded by his wife.
If he didn’t succeed, didn’t it mean he’d cough up blood and die.
Qi Chimu nodded. “En, is it banned?”
Her love letter was definitely motivating. One glance and his mood became so roused and stirred up that he was able to write his best essay.
He was guaranteed to get first place again.
The soldier gave him a sympathetic look. “No, you can take it ba.”
Then Qi Chimu excitedly entered the examination room, clutching the love letter.
This was the first love letter Bai Weiwei had given to him. It was the best gift he had ever received in his life.
So he had to read it slowly. He couldn’t bear to read it all at once.
Qi Chimu treated this love letter as his reward.
After writing about one subject, he read two lines.
“He is a jade tree facing the wind, like pine and plum in snow, making one unable to forget after one glance.”
She treated him coldly, but her temper was irritable.
He’d never expected her confession or her inner thoughts would be so intense and bold.
Qi Chimu’s mental state was so good that he had nearly finished writing for all the imperial examination subjects.
After reading the love letter, there was the final piece of paper and the remaining few lines.
His proposal [1] had just been written. The subject was related to national affairs.
He already had a mental outline ready. Just as he was about to write, he suddenly read the final few lines. “The person I like is from a wealthy family and was raised to have a gentle character, without the smell of poverty.”
A wealthy family…
Something was wrong.
He continued reading.
“The person I like is called Ping Linqing. I am no longer able to free myself from him.”
The smile at the corners of Qi Chimu’s mouth stiffened.
“And so, Qi Chimu, let’s separate ba. A forcefully plucked melon is not sweet, and I will not be plucked by you. Let’s never meet again ba.”
Qi Chimu: “…”
He fell silent for a long while, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. The sound of laughter was extremely malicious.
Then, he started writing. The strokes were sharp and powerful, awe-inspiring and overflowing with murderous spirit.
The answer itself was intended to be radical and assertive, so this writing style was perfectly fitting.
Qi Chimu finished writing his answer. When time was up, the doors opened, and the examiner collected the papers.
He unhurriedly got up, even calmly packing his case and placing the green hat love letter in the lining of his robe.
When he left and returned home.
He opened the door.
The room was empty. He calmly opened the chest.
A few gold and silver jewelry were missing, as well as a few simple and warm articles of clothing.
Qi Chimu stared at the jewelry box. He had not asked for the hairpin to be returned, all in order to let her wear the Qi family hairpin, yet it was tossed aside.
The hairpin was too unsophisticated and was not made of gold.
So she didn’t want it.
Qi Chimu suddenly laughed, the laughter hoarse and cruel.
He smashed down the jewelry box and stepped over the hairpin with a ferocious and terrible expression.
He didn’t just want to pluck the melon.
He also wanted to stew it, cook it, boil it, and eat it up with even more strength.
You better run far away, Weiwei.
[1] 破题: sounds like a thesis from what I read on Baidu. The term refers to different things depending on the dynasty, but based on context it’s probably referring to the first two sentences of an eight-part essay. These two sentences are meant to express/explain the essence of the essay.
