It wasn’t strange his mind was filled with all kinds of blood and darkness.
In his last life, he had suffered too much humiliation at the hands of the Bai family. Later, he climbed higher and became the third prince’s hidden blade.
He couldn’t even count the number of bloody and underhanded affairs he had dealt with.
This also affected his temperament so that when he pondered, he unconsciously came up with all sorts of cold-blooded speculations.
Bai Weiwei slowly approached him.
Qi Chimu’s body also tensed. When she extended her hand, he intended to counterattack and strangle her to death.
Bai Weiwei suddenly stopped.
Then something was draped over his body. Soft and warm, with a scent of orchids.
Qi Chimu’s body was as tense as a block of wood, an outstretched hand ready to attack.
But halfway through, he stiffened, somewhat at a loss.
Bai Weiwei was covering him with a quilt.
This quilt… was it laced with poison?
Bai Weiwei warmed her hands with her breath, her voice softening. “So cold…”
For a moment, Qi Chimu didn’t know whether to turn around and expose her.
Then, from behind him, he heard her crouch down and take out something.
The sound of rustling papers and the aroma of roasted chicken drifted out.
She whispered softly, “You won’t starve to death, what am I giving you food for? In any case, you wanted to drown me. I should just tie you up and toss you into the water to freeze to death.”
These words were harsh, but not intimidating.
At the very least, Qi Chimu wasn’t the least bit scared.
He opened his eyes, his back to her. What did she want, what did she want to do?
Bai Weiwei placed down the food, then stealthily turned around and left.
Qi Chimu frowned as he heard the sound of the woodshed door close.
He slowly turned around and spotted a pouch of food wrapped in oil paper placed beside him.
Qi Chimu sat up and opened the pouch. On top of the roasted chicken, there were also some roasted chestnuts inside.
They were still warm.
After going hungry the entire day, he felt that the aroma was tantalizing.
Qi Chimu fell silent before taking out the silver needle from his sleeve. After prodding several times, he found that the food was not poisoned.
Only then did he eat.
It was the first time he had eaten so much food.
And the first time he had eaten so quickly.
In the past, he had never changed his snail-like pace, but this time, he gulped down the chicken before it had even gone cold.
Instead of eating the roasted chestnuts, he wrapped them up and placed them in his sleeves. As soon as he lay on the haystack and covered up with the quilt–
–he discovered that the downy quilt was Bai Weiwei’s.
However, the beautiful sheet used by the precious daughter was replaced with coarse cloth and could not be seen.
This quilt was warm to the touch, an excellent product.
Qi Chimu pursed his lips. Just what on earth did she want to do?
He thought until dawn arrived. By the time he fell asleep in a daze, he still didn’t know the answer.
But suddenly he remembered. If she gave him her own quilt, how did she sleep?
Also, did she eat anything?
These two thoughts flashed past.
Qi Chimu was too tired to pay it any mind. He actually worried about her?
【Ding, male lead’s favorability: -15.】
Qi Chimu had a quilt, and he was full, so he had no more thoughts of burning the woodshed.
He used the stick again to carve on the ground.
Originally planning to write some supplements to the plan for killing Bai Weiwei, he lost interest halfway through.
He erased the plan again and began to write imperial examination questions.
It was the key for him to reach the skies with a single bound [1].
In his previous life, he was able to become the top scorer. In this life, his goal was to be daxiao san yuan [2].
Not only must he be the top scorer, he must be first for all the imperial examinations.
This was the most important and solid foundation for him to step into the imperial court.
1: 一步登天: instant success
2: 大小三元: big + little + three + first(?). Probably referring to coming first in all the exams in the imperial examination system — oh, I should’ve read the rest of the chapter LOL
