Rêve de Jiangshan

Chapitre 85

Han Shan watched their figures disappear quickly and said in confusion, "Why is the way the headmaster is hugging my senior brother so strange?" What Han Shan didn't say was that it looked like he was hugging a woman.

Zuiyue remained silent, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes. After a long while, she said, "I guess he's afraid that Senior Brother's wound will reopen."

Upon hearing this, a deep sadness flashed in the eyes of both Yujue and Yuxuan.

****************

Ru Feng lay in Mu Wenchen's broad arms, took a deep sniff, and laughed, "You smell so good."

Mu Wenchen's arm twitched. Ru Feng noticed it, chuckled, and then said, "Don't let anyone see me, or I'll lose face."

"What does this have to do with saving face? You're injured right now." Mu Wenchen's tone revealed his pleasure.

Ru Feng shook his head: "Anyway, I'm not allowed to let anyone recognize me." It's a matter of face.

Mu Wenchen smiled, but simply held Ru Fenglou even tighter. He moved with incredible speed, leaping between rooftops, and carrying someone seemed to have no effect on his speed.

Ru Feng felt the wind blowing against his arm and knew how fast he was going without even looking, so he felt very happy.

Inside Fengxian Academy, everyone only saw a white shadow whizz past them, and upon closer inspection, it had already disappeared.

Back at Mu Wenchen's house, Ru Feng was placed on the large bed where she had slept for three days. She reminded him again, "Remember to teach me martial arts. Actually, I only need to reach my previous level."

Mu Wenchen gently tapped Ru Feng's nose and said softly, "I won't forget what I promised you. Now you should focus on healing your injuries. Once they're healed, I'll help you clear your internal energy." What Mu Wenchen didn't say was that he was the one who sealed Ru Feng's internal energy so that she could focus on healing.

Ru Feng yawned, rolled her eyes, and then said, "I know, you're so long-winded. I remember you used to be very quiet." But she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.

Mu Wenchen didn't say anything, but simply helped Rufeng lie down, then covered him with the blanket and said, "Go to sleep, injured people need to get some rest."

Ru Feng refused, reaching out to grab Mu Wenchen's sleeve and saying, "Where's Mu Tong? Why haven't I seen his black figure all day? Isn't he always following you?" He used to dislike her, so why didn't he show up to give her a hard time today?

Mu Wenchen paused in making the bed and asked, "What do you want with him?"

Ru Feng pouted and said, "It seems like I haven't eaten in a long time. His cooking is delicious." She's been drinking medicine lately and is crying her eyes out. Ru Feng only just realized that the medicine she had just swallowed was still lingering bitterly in her mouth.

Mu Wenchen pondered for a moment before saying, "Then you can see him tomorrow. I'll ask him to come back."

Ru Feng responded and added, "If he's going to do something important, there's no need to call him back. The important thing is to get things done."

Mu Wenchen patted Ru Feng's face and said, "Don't worry, it's alright. Go to sleep. When you wake up, he might come back and cook for you."

Ru Feng was finally satisfied, but after a while, just as Mu Wenchen was about to leave, Ru Feng whispered again, "Don't go."

Mu Wenchen shook his head. Why did this little guy seem so clingy after he got sick?

"Is there anything else?" Mu Wenchen simply sat down on the edge of the bed.

After thinking for a moment, Ru Feng finally spoke up: "Wen Chen, how is Yun Tianze now?"

A shadow crossed Mu Wenchen's face. He paused for a moment before saying, "Don't worry, he's very cunning. He might have already returned to the country."

Ru Feng sighed, "After all, we were classmates."

"But he hurt you." Mu Wenchen's voice was very low.

Ru Feng paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "At least I'm not dead yet, but who saved me?"

"Little guy, aren't you going to sleep?" Mu Wenchen asked in a low voice.

Ru Feng pouted and said, "I can't sleep until I find out the details."

"You were too impulsive. You didn't know if it was a trap and you followed their carriage. If you hadn't been lucky, you wouldn't be seeing me now. The person who rescued you was a woman in red, but Zuiyue didn't see who it was."

Ru Feng wondered, "A woman in red? Who could it be?" Of all the women Ru Feng knew, the ones who loved wearing red the most were his other junior sister, Zui Zhu, and Murong Yinghe from the governor's mansion, but neither seemed like the right person. Leaving aside whether Murong Yinghe had the ability to drag him back, as for Zui Zhu, if it were her, there would be no need to hide it. Besides, it seemed she hadn't been able to leave the mountain yet, and she wouldn't disobey her master's orders.

Mu Wenchen patted Ru Feng's head: "Don't think about it anymore. You'll know what you need to know one day."

Ru Feng thought about it and agreed. He yawned again and said, "Then I'll go to sleep first." He then closed his eyes.

After Mu Wenchen left, Ru Feng reopened her eyes with a serious expression.

Ru Feng recalled the bead there; it seemed she had broken it, or perhaps someone else had. But that wasn't the point. What worried Ru Feng was whether the bead was fake. After all, she hadn't wasted her time watching TV. But she didn't want to tell Mu Wenchen. Sigh, Yun Tianze… Ru Feng muttered to herself and buried her head in the pillow.

Chapter 81 Confession

On the third day, Mu Tong returned, with the same stern face as always, except...

"Hey, Mu Tong, why are you walking so strangely?" Ru Feng sat on the bed, watching Mu Tong's departing figure, and couldn't help but ask.

Mu Tong's back stiffened, and after a pause, she said, "It's nothing."

Ru Feng shook his head, looked at Mu Wenchen beside him, and said, "Wenchen, do you think something happened to Mu Tong? Why is her attitude so strange after she came back this time?"

Mu Wenchen flipped through the book in his hand, frowned, and then looked up at Rufeng, asking, "What's your attitude?"

Ru Feng stroked his chin and said, "He used to be impatient with me, but now he's very nice to me. He makes whatever I want to eat. Hmm, his attitude is frighteningly good."

Mu Wenchen smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. You should go to sleep now, it's time."

Ru Feng glared at him: "But I don't want to sleep now. Oh right," Ru Feng suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my god, I didn't ask for leave. It seems like I haven't been to class in ages." Although she never cared about going to class, she was in big trouble if her dad and grandpa found out.

Mu Wenchen said slowly and deliberately, "Don't worry, it won't matter if you don't go."

Ru Feng thought about it and patted his chest, saying, "That's true. You're the headmaster, so you can put in a good word for me." Ru Feng wasn't afraid of people saying he got in through connections, and in Fengxian Academy, who didn't know that Yu Chi Ru Feng and the headmaster were on good terms? So it was better not to hide it and just put it out there.

Thinking of this, Ru Feng remembered something else and couldn't help but ask, "Wen Chen, why don't Yu Jue and Yu Xuan come to see me?"

Mu Wenchen stopped turning the pages of his book. He put it down, stood up from the stool, walked over to Rufeng, patted her head, and asked, "Little one, are you really not going to take a nap?"
