Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

Chen Wenqi then left the secret realm without further hesitation.

Back in his room, he could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the bed.

He drifted off to sleep in no time.

Meanwhile, Hua Youlin spent the entire night clutching the bamboo flute that Chen Wenqi had given her, and peacefully drifted off to sleep.

A sweet smile still lingered at the corners of her lips; her sleeping face was serene and peaceful.

She really wished that time could pass faster, much faster.

She longed for the weekend to come quickly, so that she could see the man she had been yearning for again.

She recalled that day when Chen Wenqi held her in his arms, and they flew across the calm, still lake.

At that time, the two of them, dressed in flowing robes, looked like a pair of celestial beings.

Thinking of this, her heart felt as if it had been filled with a spoonful of honey.

That sweet feeling spread from the deepest part of my heart all the way to the corners of my eyes and brows.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and school officially started.

The students quickly put away their holiday laziness and adjusted their mindset, entering a tense and orderly learning rhythm.

From this period onward, He Yushui's attitude towards studying became increasingly serious and diligent.

She had already made up her mind that no matter what, she must get into a vocational high school.

This is almost the only opportunity she can seize right now to change her fate.

Otherwise, one day, she might be ruthlessly kicked out of the house by her infatuated and foolish brother, He Yuzhu.

They ended up destitute and alone.

The family has He Yuzhu, who is lazy, loves to eat, and is extremely biased.

There's also Qin Huairu, who's always greedy for small gains and has a deep mind.

He Yushui knew perfectly well that there would be no comfortable days ahead for her.

Before the start of the school year, Chen Wenqi had already completed all the cultural courses of the third year of junior high school through self-study with his tenacity. He had a thorough and solid grasp of every knowledge point and knew it by heart.

Now he has devoted his energy to self-studying foreign languages. English and Japanese are two languages ​​that he has studied systematically in his previous life and has reached a level of proficiency. If he hadn't spoken Japanese so fluently in his previous life, how could he have made so many international friends from related industries in Japan?

Speaking of which, his experience of learning Japanese in his previous life was quite an interesting story.

At first, Chen Wenqi only knew some simple everyday Japanese phrases. Later, he relied on his Japanese friends, Oya, Ayaka, Qin Hai, and Agasa, to humbly learn and practice repeatedly. So, he can speak fluently and naturally, whether it is the local dialect of the Kanto region or the standard accent of Tokyo, without any hesitation in his speech.

Currently, Chen Wenqi is mainly focusing his energy on studying Russian, French, and German. He borrowed these foreign language textbooks and related books from the city library. He thinks that it's always good to master more foreign languages, so that if he has the opportunity to go abroad to handle business or explore some old objects in the future, communication will be more convenient and smooth.

Especially the United States, the Soviet Union/Russia, and Japan, which have plundered countless precious national treasures and cultural relics from China to this day. These weighty cultural treasures are something he wants to find a way to bring back himself in the future.

China boasts a magnificent civilization spanning five thousand years, and its historical scroll, which unfolds slowly, is incredibly grand and splendid. Yet, during the three hundred years of Manchu rule, China suffered countless humiliations of losing sovereignty and national dignity, and indescribable hardships of chaos and calamity.

He has never forgotten this unforgettable experience.

"Chen Wenqi, what are you looking at?"

The crisp sound of the bell rang, instantly filling the once silent classroom with noise.

Yu Xiaotang noticed Chen Wenqi sitting alone in his seat, engrossed in his studies, his expression so focused that the surrounding noise seemed to be just background noise to him. Full of curiosity, she hopped over to him.

She tilted her head playfully, her bright eyes constantly scanning the book in his hands.

Yu Xiaotang casually picked up a foreign language book that Chen Wenqi had spread out in front of her, gently turned the pages, and saw that it was covered with unfamiliar characters.

She couldn't recognize a single word and couldn't help but click her tongue in surprise, her heart churning with astonishment.

The school they are currently attending primarily offers Russian as its main foreign language course.

However, the Russian proficiency of the students in the class was generally not ideal, and most of them could only barely manage a few basic daily conversations.

The book that Chen Wenqi was holding was clearly not one of the Russian textbooks distributed by the school.

Yu Xiaotang patiently flipped through a few more pages, only to find the winding, obscure text difficult to understand, making her head spin.

She carefully and gently put the book back in its original place, afraid of accidentally damaging this book that looked unusual.

"What foreign language is this? Aren't we only learning Russian right now?"

Yu Xiaotang blinked her big, watery eyes, her face full of confusion, and asked Chen Wenqi in a clear voice.

"This is French, that one is German."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wenqi slowly raised his head and gave a brief and clear answer.

Although his tone was calm, it subtly revealed a confident and assured air.

"Wow, you can actually understand so many foreign languages?"

Yu Xiaotang's eyes immediately lit up with a bright light of admiration, and her small face was filled with undisguised surprise and admiration.

"It's alright, these languages ​​aren't too difficult to learn."

Chen Wenqi gently put down his book, turned to look at Yu Xiaotang beside him, and asked in a slightly questioning tone, "Is there anything else?"

"Can't I just chat with you if there's nothing wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaotang immediately pouted her pink lips in dissatisfaction, and her cheeks puffed out slightly.

Her charming appearance clearly revealed her subtle emotions.

"If you don't have much free time, spend more time studying."

Seeing her sullen expression, Chen Wenqi spoke calmly to persuade her.

Yu Xiaotang's grades weren't terrible, but they certainly weren't outstanding either.

In addition, she was beautiful, and many boys in her class would always fawn over her.

This favoritism, which others envied, meant that she could only devote a limited amount of energy to her studies on a daily basis.

After all, most girls of this age prefer to play with friends and care more about dressing up and making themselves stand out.

"I happen to have two movie tickets here, it would be a waste to just leave them here."

Yu Xiaotang tilted her bright, sparkling face up to Chen Wenqi, her eyes fixed on him with a hint of anticipation, and said, "How about we go see a movie together this weekend?"

He Yushui, who was sitting at the table in front of her, heard every word of these words.

Hearing that Yu Xiaotang had actually invited Chen Wenqi to go to the movies, her heart clenched, and her breathing became rapid.

She instinctively gripped the hem of her clothes, her heart pounding, afraid that Chen Wenqi would actually accept Yu Xiaotang's invitation without hesitation.

He Yushui had long seen through Yu Xiaotang's undisguised girlish feelings for Chen Wenqi, and knew it perfectly well.

"I already have other plans for the weekend, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

Chen Wenqi's tone remained calm and even, revealing no emotion whatsoever. He simply declined, saying, "You should find someone else to keep you company."

"What important things could you possibly have on this weekend?"

Yu Xiaotang immediately understood his refusal, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she asked with a hint of displeasure, "Weekends are for relaxing and having fun, aren't they?"

"I have to go to the library to study, and my schedule is already completely full. I don't have a single spare moment."

Chen Wenqi patiently explained to her why he couldn't keep the appointment.

"Then I'll go to the library with you."

Yu Xiaotang quickly picked up the conversation, her tone full of excitement, showing no intention of giving up. "Anyway, it's been quite a while since I've stepped inside."

We'll see when the time comes.

Chen Wenqi's words revealed a hint of helplessness, as if this girl was a piece of chewing gum that he couldn't shake off, clinging to him and refusing to let go.

It's all because my face is too eye-catching; it attracts unnecessary attention wherever I go.

He knew perfectly well that he had already arranged to meet Hua Youlin over the weekend, so he didn't have any extra time to agree to meet Xiaotang.

Although Yu Xiaotang is a pretty girl with delicate features and a pleasing appearance, she still lacks a certain unique charm compared to Hua Youlin.

Yu Xiaotang couldn't help but pout her pink lips, secretly wondering to herself.

Why is Chen Wenqi like a block of wood that doesn't understand anything? Doesn't he realize at all that I want to spend more time with him?

How many girls in school are prettier than me?

She had already taken such a proactive approach, how could he remain so indifferent?

When He Yushui saw that Chen Wenqi had indeed decisively rejected Yu Xiaotang's invitation, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, quietly relaxed a little.

But then she thought about it again. Chen Wenqi was so outstanding, with a good appearance and excellent grades. There must be quite a few girls who liked him.

What if one day he is snatched away by some girl? What will he do then?

After the school bell rang crisply in the afternoon, Chen Wenqi rode his bicycle home alone.

After finishing his physical education class in the afternoon, Chen Wenzhi, the younger brother, went home ahead of time, so he was all alone on the road.

Just as he was about to reach the alley entrance, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a girl limping as she pushed her bicycle not far ahead.
