Chapter 23 : Classmates (3)
Xie Jianyu sat cross-legged in front of Zhang Fengxi, his eyes closed in meditation.
Zhang Fengxi held his ink brush above the spotless paper, his mental state the exact opposite of Xie Jianyu's.
Just what was he supposed to write? The tale of his rebellion from his past life? His father was going to serve his head on a silver platter in front of the Heavenly Emperor!
The young man in front of him did not seem to be bothered by Zhang Fengxi's lack of progress. In fact, he was not even supervising his classmate as per the Grand Tutor's request!
Anyway, Zhang Fengxi was unable to concentrate when he was forced to sit upright in the pavilion and write under supervision. If he was supposed to spin out a grand lie to read out loud in front of the class tomorrow, then he should do it at home.
Zhang Fengxi quietly gathered his stuff, not without stealing glances at Xie Jianyu repeatedly. Once he had everything with him, he carefully rose to his feet and turned to leave.
"Halt," an authoritative voice spoke behind him.
Zhang Fengxi turned his head to look at Xie Jianyu, who was staring at him like the latter was a lowly thief.
"Have you finished your assignment?"
