Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He Chengyi has improved a lot since last year. He also realized it himself, so he was naturally happy with the game. Even though he knew that he would still lose in the end, he was still very happy being able to play with Xue Yan.
Xue Yan was surrounded by so many people, so Jiang Yue couldn’t see Xue Yan at all. However, when she looked at Mister Zhang beside her and then at the other gentlemen, all of them were smiling, as if they were used to it. It was obvious that Xue Yan and He Chengyi had always played like this in the past.
She looked again, but still couldn’t see him, so she stopped looking.
She ate the pastries on the small table in front of her.
Out of all the tables, only the small table in front of her had pastries. They all coaxed her like she was a baby.
If she wasn’t a baby, Mister Zhang wouldn’t have let her come with Xue Yan.
This cultural gathering was a competition between the students of the academy in all aspects. Naturally, it would not end in the morning. After lunch in the academy, the cultural gathering would still continue.
Some of them even skipped meals in order to perform well, afraid that their train of thought would be interrupted.
Especially those who played against tough players.
The chess match between Xue Yan and He Chengyi had long been won with Xue Yan’s crushing momentum. After that, Xue Yan was quickly pulled to another aspect of the game to compete in.
It wasn’t until four in the afternoon that Shengming Academy’s annual cultural gathering ended.
Just like in previous years, there were many good chess games, good poems, and good paintings at this literary event. They would also be sorted out. In the future, anyone who wanted to see them could go to the place where the academy specially placed them to admire the work.
There was no need to keep tally, Xue Yan was definitely the best in everything.
This was the case for three consecutive years. The students were very convinced that he was blessed as a child.
After the cultural gathering ended, Xue Yan went to hold Jiang Yue’s hand. He wanted to take Jiang Yue to bid farewell to the gentlemen and go home. He had planned to come in the morning to take a look and return before noon. Who knew that he would stay here until now?
With this thought, Xue Yan glanced at Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue was expressionless.
Forget it.
After bidding farewell to the teachers and saying goodbye to his classmates and friends, Xue Yan took Jiang Yue out of the academy.
Erfu came again before noon, but because he couldn’t get away from the cultural gathering, Erfu left again and said that he would come back in the afternoon.
The teacher also asked someone to talk to Erfu to give them about two more hours before coming back. When they walked out of the academy, Erfu arrived in a carriage.
Once Xue Erfu stopped the carriage, he got down from the carriage. Without even putting down his whip, he urged his two little ones, “Hurry up, hurry up.”
Xue Yan let Jiang Yue climb into the carriage first, then he also got into the carriage.
Xue Erfu lifted the curtain to take a look. Seeing that the two precious children were seated, he then got on the carriage and drove it back.
When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan returned home, Xue Dafu and the others had already returned from the workshop to make rice noodles. They were harvesting the dried late rice on the paddy field.
At the beginning of the month, the late rice had already been harvested. It was also because Xue Dafu and the others wanted to make rice noodles that they had no time for, so they hired people.
Jiang Yue had secretly changed the seeds of the late rice, so the family was very happy.
Some of the late rice had not been dried yet and needed to be dried again.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also went to the paddy field to help the family harvest the late rice that was very dry today. The late rice could be directly put away.
“You guys are finally back.” When Liu Guixia saw them, she immediately smiled. “Especially you, Jiang Yue. You’ve been in the academy all day. Were you bored?”
If it were her, she would definitely be bored to death. She couldn’t understand what those scholars were saying..
