Chapter 9

"I... Of course I'm going to pee standing up! I was just picking up money, picking up money! A coin fell to the ground just now." The young scholar said, straightening up from the ground with a whoosh, and without another word, she lifted the lower hem of her long robe, about to untie her waistband to enter the state of a boy peeing, but the pricking gaze on her back was truly impossible to ignore...

"You... Why haven't you left yet? Planning to watch me pee?"

"I am planning to watch."

"..."

"Pee. Just pretend I don't exist."

"How can I pretend you don't exist? Your two eyes are staring right at my crotch! Do you know how much pressure I'm under?!"

"Rest assured, I have no interest in a man's size. I won't criticize your dimensions." I just wanted to see if you were normal.

"I, I'm not used to it. With someone staring at my crotch, I can't pee!"

"Then you'd better start getting used to it from now on. If you pass the exam into Dongxu Mansion, your crotch will be stared at by countless people, because there are only public latrines there."

"...You, how can you be so annoying, ahhhhh! Does it matter one cent to you whether I pee standing up or squatting down? Does it matter two cents? I just like to squat, sit, or lie down when I pee, what can you do to me? What can you do?" Angrily turning back, their eyes met, and neither of them expected that the person opposite was someone they knew—

"It's you?!" They cried out at the same time.

Li Chenjing narrowed his eyes and glared at the stinky brat before him, a shadow rising between his brows as he recalled that teasing love poem. After returning home that day, whenever he thought of the palpitation he felt while reading the poem, he still felt uncomfortable all over. Why would his heart beat for a love poem written for a man? He just thought this kid had good talent and a delicate writing style.

Ignoring the close call that night, Li Chenjing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Me? I'm naturally taking the exam! What about you?" Zhu Bafu blinked, tilting her head as she asked.

"Examiner." He replied flatly. This kid showed zero awkwardness or reaction, acting as if she completely forgot what happened that night.

"...Is checking the urinary system part of the exam questions?"

"Not yet."

"Phew... That's good."

"But I'm happy to add it at any time."

"What?!" Did he want to watch him pee and use the latrine that badly, refusing to stop until he achieved his goal?

Seeing the kid in front of him turn liverish with held-in anger, her eyeballs rolling nonstop, she finally tightened her waistband, pulled in her lower abdomen, and roared proudly at him.

"A scholar can be killed, but not humiliated! This young master isn't peeing anymore!"

Not peeing? Heh...

"Be my guest."

Author has something to say:

I had some things to do today, so the update is a little late~~~ Continuing to update, definitely guaranteed one chapter a day, keep it up!!

Chapter 10 Chapter 9

... Be whose guest, it was all forcefully bottled back! This prime minister's son was too inhumane, testing people's willpower out of nowhere, and it had to be in his weakest area.

Flinging her sleeve and striding forward, she angrily ran out of the latrine, vacating the place for this big shot.

Running into the examiner unexpectedly in the latrine brought no mutual sympathy, but rather tit-for-tat confrontation. Knowing her official career prospects were definitely looking grim, Zhu Bafu pushed open the door and walked into the chief examiner's room, only to feel a cold wind blowing down from the main hall.

A Yuntai Desk was laid horizontally across the high hall, and Li Chenjing sat composedly behind it, his eyes fixed on his nose and his nose on his heart. He wore a Dongxu Uniform edged in cyan and purple, making his whole demeanor extraordinary, with a pair of solemn and respectful couplet scrolls hanging high behind him.

The first line of the couplet was: A wise ruler selects scholars; the second line was: Seeking talents for the country.

The horizontal scroll was transformed into a plaque hanging right in the middle of the hall's apex, with four square characters written with majestic momentum: Seeking Excellence.

Everything no longer seemed like nonsense or a joke, serious to the point that a single mistake would get one dragged off to have their head chopped off. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, belatedly nervous to the point of trembling all over, and stood beneath the hall with bent knees, not even daring to raise her head much.

A cool, thin voice came from above.

"Sit."

She looked back at the chair placed in the middle of the hall, lowered her head and hunched her back like a timid young bride, taking tiny, tentative steps and timidly sitting down on the chair.

Unfolding the roll book, Li Chenjing glanced at the person below the hall, "Now then, we shall begin. Zhu... Bafu?"

"Yes!"

"No need to stand up to answer. Sit."

"..."Yes."

"When we met just now, I didn't see you having such good manners." He let out a sarcastic chuckle, crossing his hands and resting them against his lips.

"Just now... Just now, this scholar had a pressing need and was feeling vexed."

"Oh? Are you still holding it in now?"

"How could that be, do you take me for a fool? Who can hold it in for the time of two incense sticks, that would cause major problems."

Stopping the hand lifting the tea lid, he raised an eyebrow and looked at the unguarded fellow below the hall, the corners of his lips curling up as he softly lured, "Where did you relieve yourself?"

"Hehe, right there in that fragrant peony flower bed in the corridor! Butterflies and bees, I chased them all away, hahaha! You have no idea, using the latrine stinks to high heaven, instead of that, I was smart and found a fragrant place where I..." Her glowing eyes lifted, meeting the cold, piercing gaze shot down from the high hall. Only then did she realize it was too late to brake, and she could only blink innocently at the examiner brother on the high hall.

"Where you what?"

"Uh..." Blinking, blinking, and blinking again. Please spare her. For a young woman, it wasn't easy to find a place to pee, she wasn't a man who could just take care of it standing in a corner. Besides, if he hadn't driven her to a dead end, she wouldn't have been reduced to destroying that bed of elegant fragrance...

"Speak."

"I... I just casually gave those famished peonies some artificial fertilizer or something..."
