Chapter 902 - 901: The Unsolvable Knot
Wang Yongzhu narrowed his eyes in displeasure: "What? Are you rejecting me?"
Song Chongjin reacted swiftly as if facing a great enemy: "Nonsense! I am not! How could I? I just think those weaklings from other academies aren’t worthy of my wife making a move! Why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken? Besides, my wife’s delicate jade-like hands shouldn’t do such coarse work! This sort of thing should be left to your man—"
"On that day, my wife should just accompany our mother on the stands, cheering for your man!" he especially emphasized at the end.
Wang Yongzhu giggled; she mentioned competing just to tease Song Chongjin, knowing full well she wouldn’t possibly participate in the race.
Song Chongjin clearly understood Wang Yongzhu was teasing him, yet he acted so eager to please, leaving Wang Yongzhu feeling a lack of accomplishment.
She cast a sidelong glance at Song Chongjin before speaking seriously: "The Dragon Boat Race has not changed for nearly a hundred years. Are you sure this is solely the County Magistrate’s order?"
It seems impossible. Given the current status of Changqing Academy, how could the County Magistrate forcefully issue such a command?
Song Chongjin’s gaze at Wang Yongzhu was startlingly bright.
He heard about this at the academy earlier—apart from him and Gu Zikai, several other good friends felt there was something fishy about it. Most others merely complained secretly, wondering why the County Magistrate suddenly made such a strange move.
He didn’t expect Wang Yongzhu to perceive this keenly, making Song Chongjin both surprised and pleased.
