Everyone in the capital knew that Xie Yingshuang, the only grandson of Grand Tutor Xie, had the beautiful, saintly face of a golden statue, but was a wicked brat on the inside who would happily turn the world upside down.
By contrast, Gu Heyun, heir to Prince Ning's household across the street from the Grand Tutor's estate, could recite poetry at five, paint at eight, and compose essays so excellent by ten that Grand Tutor Xie couldn't praise them enough. He was the very model of a refined young gentleman, learned and courteous.
At this, Xie Yingshuang rolled his eyes and sneered, "What a pretentious guy."
Though they were neighbors, the two didn't get along. Whenever they met, one would sneer and the other ignore him. Their entourages would pass each other without stopping for even a moment, until Xie Yingshuang spilled sweet soup over a rare ancient book that Grand Tutor Xie had painstakingly collected...
In a fit of rage, Grand Tutor Xie tossed him into the Imperial Academy.
On his first day at the Imperial Academy, Xie Yingshuang was unlucky enough to be assigned the same dorm room as Gu Heyun. They glared at each other for a moment before Xie Yingshuang slapped the table and snapped, "You sanctimonious hypocrite! What gives you the right to share a room with me?"
Gu Heyun's calm gaze fell on Xie Yingshuang's strikingly beautiful face, flushed with anger. His expression remained cool as he replied with a mocking edge:
"I knew the Xie family would produce an illiterate fool, but I never expected you to be blind as well. Can't you see who got to this dorm first?"
Xie Yingshuang: !
After seething for several days and realizing Grand Tutor Xie was determined to make him stay at the Imperial Academy, Xie Yingshuang glanced at Gu Heyun, who was lowering his eyes as he practiced calligraphy at the desk, and gave him a malicious smile.
Fine!
If I can't change dorms, then that Gu fellow won't have an easy time either!
