Zheng Xiao Mistake: The Mistake of Rebirth Provoked the Cold Master
Chapter 99 Who is Qingshan?
Sihai Academy is located on the top of Shijian Mountain south of Shengjing City. It gathers young talents from aristocratic families and has a long-standing reputation.
Shijian Mountain got its name from its shape which resembles a long sword. Its high, dangerous and isolated location add a sense of caution to the academy, making it difficult to enter and exit, attracting countless students to come here.
The mountain plank road was covered with lush green. A short young man in a green scholar's robe and a plain scholar's hat was carrying a huge bookcase on his back, weighing down his frail body.
When they reached a river bank, opposite was the gate of Sihai Academy. The narrow bridge over the river had steep steps. The young man in blue was sweating profusely. He stopped for a moment to put down his book box, preparing to take a breath and tidy up his clothes.
Unexpectedly, just as he put down the bookcase, the cotton rope on the top suddenly broke, and several tied bamboo slips rolled away and fell along the bridge.
The young man in blue stuck his head out in annoyance, and happened to see a boat moored under the bridge. The bamboo slips fell into the cabin. The boatman, wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, threw the bamboo slips up from under the bridge.
The boy caught it steadily and said gratefully, "Thank you, boatman!"
The man raised the brim of his hat and waved his hand, saying, "It's a small matter."
I couldn't see his face clearly because of the hat, but I heard that his voice was quite young.
The young man in blue thanked him a few more times and crossed the bridge carrying the book box.
The next day, the same young man in blue clothes crossed the narrow bridge again. The same small boat was parked beside the bridge, and the same boatman was napping on the boat with his hat covering his face.
On the third day, the boatman sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat fishing. The young man in blue clothes waved to him at the bridgehead, and he also waved his fishing rod.
On the fourth day, it began to rain heavily before dawn. The young man in blue showed up regardless of the weather, carrying the book box on his back.
The rain was hazy and the river was turbulent due to the raindrops hitting it. It was impossible to even see if there were any boats on the river. The boy hurriedly went up the bridge. The stone steps were full of rain. His steps slipped and he fell into the river.
The boy immediately called for help in panic. He didn't know how long he had been floating in the water. Finally, a figure dived into the water, swam over and dragged the boy to the shore.
The young man in blue choked on the water, but fortunately he was still conscious. He saw the benefactor who saved him picked up his hat and found out that he was the boatman who returned the letter a few days ago.
"Thanks……"
The two of them went into a concave cliff to shelter from the rain. In front of the cliff, a huge willow tree had branches hanging down, blocking the howling rain like a door curtain.
The boatman's young face showed a handsome outline for the first time, with messy black hair between his eyebrows. Even though he was soaked all over, he did not show any embarrassment.
The young man was still spitting out water, his thin green clothes sticking tightly to his body. He took a look, took off his raincoat and threw it over.
"My classmate, the school is closed today due to heavy rain. Didn't anyone tell you?"
This man was born with a good voice, his voice was clear and had a sense of freedom and soaring.
The young man in blue sat on a rock with his knees hugged, looking at him timidly with a pair of frightened eyes.
He took off his raincoat, revealing a deep blue round-necked robe underneath, and said with a smile, "Why? You don't recognize the robes of Sihai Academy?"
"I recognize you." The boy nodded weakly with a pale face, "But why do you..."
The young man in the ragged clothes seemed to know what he was going to ask, and answered, "I just row the boat once in a while and ferry a few people across, and that's considered a good deed."
As he said this, he broke off a willow branch and wrote two words on the sand.
"Pray for seclusion."
"What about you?" Qi Yin looked up, "What's your name in the academy?"
The young man was silent for a while, "...I haven't seen the Master yet."
After three whole days of fruitless efforts, the abbot of Sihai Academy made various excuses to decline the admission.
Qi Yin stood with his back to the light and glanced at the figure sitting on the stone, curled up in a wet ball. He turned the willow branch in his hand and wrote two more words on the sand.
The young man repeated it, "Qingshan."
"You and I are destined to be together. Since you are both wearing green, why not call yourself this?" Qi Yin pointed at his own name with the tip of a willow branch. "When you go find Master Han next time, tell him that I gave him the name."
After he said that, he threw away the willow branch, picked up his hat and prepared to leave.
"Master Qiyin," the young man called out to him, "why are you helping me?"
"Do one good deed a day." Qi Yin said in a leisurely voice, "If I don't save anyone today, I'll do it on you."
"Thanks……"
Qi Yin didn't look back, just waved and left.
This was the first time the two met. Qi Yin received three “thank yous” and Qing Shan got a new name.
Qi Yin was right, they were indeed destined to be together.
A few days later, the rain stopped and classes resumed at the academy. Master Han brought a new face early in the morning, dressed in blue and carrying a huge book box.
Master Han didn't introduce him, just asked him to sit down. The boy looked around and picked a seat in the corner.
Qi Yin was sitting by the window, still wearing a deep blue robe. Under the bright sunshine, her appearance was even more extraordinary, especially her eyes, whose spirit was as bright as fire.
Qingshan hesitated for a while and did not go forward to greet him.
Master Han said a few words of nonsense and was about to start the morning class, but Qi Yin suddenly said, "Master, I want to change my dormitory."
As soon as he said this, many eyes in the school fell on him. Before the teacher spoke, a voice came from behind him.
"Is there anything wrong with my brother living with me?"
Qi Yin didn't even look at the person who was speaking, and said coldly, "I'm not your brother."
Master Han's expression turned from stiff to full of smiles, "Your Highness...Which dormitory do you want to change to, Qi Yin?"
"The last one." Qi Yin looked at the corner of the crowd, "My roommate has been changed to Qingshan."
"Qingshan?" Master Han was stunned. "Who is Qingshan?"
A thin white hand was raised from the crowd, "I..."
Master Han was confused and thought for a long time. He looked back and forth at the two most unoffensive Buddhas in the two academies. Finally, he regained his kindness and said, "Then Qiyin will be with Qingshan, and Changsheng will be transferred to be with Cangye. Is that okay?"
Qi Yin nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.
The one called Changsheng looked at the new face who raised his hand, and said with a slight smile, "I will leave it to the arrangement of the teacher and my brother."
Sihai Academy covers a large area and the school buildings are more spacious than those elsewhere. In addition to the bedrooms for two people, there is also a small study for reviewing homework.
After Qingshan finished his first day of classes, when he followed the sign to find the last dormitory in the evening, Qi Yin was already waiting in the room.
The two chatted for a while and then it was time to go to bed.
The candlelight flickered, and the faint moonlight shone through the small window of the school. Qi Yin changed into pajamas, sat cross-legged on the bed, and looked at Qing Shan who was dressed warmly and asked, "You don't take off your clothes when you sleep?"
Qingshan held his collar and answered cautiously, "I have been suffering from a hidden disease since I was a child, and I am particularly afraid of the cold at night."
Qi Yin's eyes showed an ambiguous smile, "Since you are afraid of the cold, classmates should be friendly to each other. Why don't we sleep together? It will be a good deed for me."
Qingshan stepped back in fear, "No!"
Qi Yin: "Why not?"
Qingshan's face flushed, and he stuttered, "Because... because..."
Qi Yin crossed his arms, raised an eyebrow and interrupted, "Because you are a woman."
Qingshan looked up blankly.
"Young lady, do you know why Sihai Academy is so nicknamed? It's because everyone sent here is not an ordinary person." Qi Yin's tone was normal, but it contained strange sympathy. "You dare to use such a third-rate trick. Should I call you courageous or stupid?"
Qi Yin's steady tone was like a huge rock hitting him, shaking his thin figure in the moonlight. After a long while, he whispered to defend himself.
"I have a difficult situation that I have no choice but to deal with. My brother is ill in bed and I am afraid that he will miss the spring exam, so I have to come here in his place..."
"Oh?" Qi Yin dragged out the last word and paused before saying, "Zhu Long, the second son of the Zhu family, slept with prostitutes all day long. I didn't even know when he became so tired that he fell ill and ended up in bed?"
With these words, the face in front of him lost all color.
Qi Yin continued, "The Zhu family has two more daughters. The younger one is studying at Dexun Girls' School, and the older one..."
He paused, "It's you, Zhu Qing."
Zhu Qing, whose name was called out lightly, felt as if she had been stripped of her clothes. Her beautiful face turned pale instantly, and her eyes were filled with helplessness and fear. After a long while, she asked calmly, "Who are you..."
Qi Yin said coldly, "I have found out your identity. If you want to know mine, figure it out yourself."
Zhu Qing clenched his palms tightly, his nails digging into his flesh without feeling any pain. After a long while, he suddenly laughed, "Since you have checked, you should also know the situation of my family."
"My grandmother had to do a lot of work to get me a place in the academy. My second brother treated me like a worn-out shoe, but that was what I wanted." Zhu Qing lowered his head, with a hint of bitterness on his lips. "I have heard of the academy's reputation for a long time, so I took the risk to come here. I also knew that I couldn't fool people forever. No matter what the consequences are, they are all my own fault."
"Right now I can't and won't stop you from exposing me. I'll die if I go back to the mansion anyway. Being beaten to death in the academy can be considered as fulfilling my wish. It can be considered as a worthy death."
Her voice was very soft and her tone was calm as she delivered an impassioned speech. However, her trembling arms under the thin blanket betrayed her weakness.
Qi Yin glanced at him calmly, and asked with the corner of his lips moving slightly, "Why should I expose you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Qing looked up and looked at him in confusion.
"The academy only said it is not allowed, but I am curious how it would handle if something like this really happened." Qi Yin looked amused, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting.
"It's your luck that you can get in. How long you can stay in the dark depends on your ability."
Qi Yin got up, hugging the quilt, and said, "From now on, I will sleep in the study, and you can sleep in the inner room so that you can get enough rest."
When he reached the door, he paused for a moment, turned around and said, "Hold on a little longer... Don't let me down, A-Qing."
