Bone Painting Coroner Chapter 541

The sky turned dark rapidly and it started raining. Ji Yunshu asked someone to light another lantern. She messaged her sore neck and prepared to sleep.
"Ah Ji." She could tell who was it by the voice. She raised her eyebrows and unconsciously wrinkled her brows.
Tang Si strolled inside with a frown on her face and sat down at the table. She then cradled her forehead and sighed.
Aiya! Did she have a personality transplant? Ji Yunshu looked her up and down. What's wrong with this girl?
"Miss Tang, is there something wrong?"
"Nothing!"
"Then what's wrong? You chattering away not long ago - why are you so quiet now?"
Tang Si sighed. She worried at her lips for a moment before sitting upright. A pair of searching eyes gazed directly at Ji Yunshu. She sighed deeply and started, "Ah Ji, I want to ask you a question."
A flower bloomed on the rocks! Ji Yunshu smiled, "Okay, go ahead."
When Tang Si was about to speak -
Knock, knock! Someone knocked on the door.
They looked toward the sound and saw Lin Shu standing outside. The grumpy face had been replaced with a trace of guilt. As soon as Tang Si saw him, she put away her previous studious expression and coldly glared at Lin Shu. "Why are you here?"
"Miss Tang, I… I'm here to apologize to you. I also want to thank Teacher Ji."
"You? Apologizing to me? Are you sick?" Tang Si snorted.
"Quickly leave, you are not welcome here."
Ji Yunshu was worried she would cause trouble and hurriedly pulled her behind. She then told Lin Shu, who was beside the door, "The case is over, there's no need to thank me."
"Teacher Ji, I know you're a good person and will not fuss over minor things. But if it weren't for you, I'd be imprisoned now, so please accept my gratitude." e bowed deeply as he finished speaking.
He really had a personality transplant! Ji Yunshu's expression remained chilly. "Alright, I accept your thanks."
Lin Shu let out a heartfelt sigh of relief.
But a moment later, Ji Yunshu spoke again. "After this incident, I hope you really understand that the July spring examinations and subsequent royal examinations are approaching. You should put your whole mind to prepare and I hope we will see you obtain one of the top three positions this year. "
"Yes, I will do my best to get in the top three and not let down Teacher and His Highness's life-saving grace."
Ji Yunshu nodded.
Lin Shu looked at Tang Si again, cupping his hands and bowing apologetically. "Miss Tang, it's my fault that I made you angry by my impertinent remarks. I apologise."
Haha! Tang Si saw his change of heart and his sincere attitude. Even though she may be willful, she was one to reciprocate how others treated her; force would be met with force and diplomacy, likewise. Therefore, the flames in her heart also softened at this moment. She waved her hand, "forget it. Since you're sincere, this miss will not be as petty as to fuss over the things you did before."
"Many thanks, Miss Tang." The other stone weighing on his heart was also lifted. He bid them goodbye and left.
Tang Si murmured, "This person is really interesting. It took him merely a day to completely transform into another person. Sure enough, some people must be frightened in order for them to remember their lesson."
"Okay, things have passed. So let's not pursue it anymore. By the way, didn't you want to ask me a question? Go ahead, if I know, I will naturally tell you."
"I…" She pursed her mouth, bit her lip, and swallowed. "Forget it, I won't ask anymore."
Ji Yunshu was not the kind of person who would insist on getting to the bottom of things. "Since you have nothing to ask, hurry back. We have to get going tomorrow morning." Ordering the guest to leave! Tang Si fidgeted for a while in her seat but left eventually.
The next day.
Although Jing Rong played chess the whole night with Teacher Yu, his spirits were better than ever. He ordered people to pack things into the carriages and prepared to leave. Though Teacher Yu did not send them off, the students got up early and ran to the academy gates to send them off with polite salutations.
Ji Yunshu got into the carriage. Tang Si was ready to follow but Mo Ruo dragged her into his carriage instead. She glared at him. "Didn't you always want to avoid riding with me? Why did you drag me in?"
Mo Ruo chuckled, "I would rather ride with you than Jing Rong."
"You…"
"What? You dislike me?"
Tang Si breathed deeply and involuntarily thought of yesterday's scene. As she remembered being assaulted by the man in front of her, she felt angry and… explicably shy. She simply leaned away and ignored him.
After Jing Rong bid farewell to the students, he got into the carriage and ordered them to leave. The carriages and horses started to move. The wheels made crisp sounds in the mountain forest.
Inside the carriage ahead, Jing Rong closed his eyes, restedt his hands on his knees, and sat upright.
Ji Yunshu knew he had been playing chess all night with Teacher Yu and must be tired, so she didn't disturb him. She opened the curtain and looked outside. The fresh scent of earth and bamboo lingered around her nose. A breeze suddenly rose from outside and a few drops of rain drifted in to land on her lips. The chilly sensation sent a shiver through her body.
She quickly withdrew her hand and the curtains fell. As soon as she sat straight, Jing Rong leaned towards her. She drew back instinctively, and before she could react, Jing Rong had already put his head on her thigh.
"You…"
"Don't move, let me sleep for a while!" He closed his eyes and nuzzled his head on her thigh.
Just like a kitten! Ji Yunshu sat obediently as if she were obeying an order. She held her breath and didn't dare to move her legs, letting himsleep like this. After a while, Jing Rong seemed to be truly asleep, and she finally looked down at him. His vigilant and sharp brows appeared to have loosened into light and slender bamboo leaves. His long and thick eyelashes trembled lightly in the breeze while his high and thin, cold lips were as well-defined as a carved marble bust, giving off the air of a carefree and elegant gentleman.It was completely different from the usual sarcastic and ruthless prince! A little warmer and more refined.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but raise her hand and lightly touch his forehead with her clean, white fingers. She gently brushed along his forehead to the tail of his brows, then moved down to lightly touch his long and thick eyelashes. At this moment, a hand wrapped around her five fingers.
Oh! Her heart tightened suddenly and a wisp of guilt flashed in her eyes as if she had done something wrong.
Fortunately, Jing Rong still had his eyes closed so he didn't see her panicked expression. Jing Rong clenched her hand tightly and nuzzled his face even deeper on her thighs, murmuring softly, "This prince finally understands why Wei Yi loves to rest on you."
