Lu Jinwan snapped out of her daze: "Hey! Sister-in-law... no, Jiang Zao."

He handed her a large bag of snacks, saying, "Jiang Zao, this is what my brother asked me to give you. Here!"

Jiang Zao thought of Lu Jinye, then looked at Lu Jinwan, and her ears turned red instantly. What... what did he mean by that?

Jiang Zao groggily took the snacks: "Ah~ then... then you..."

Looking at Jiang Zao's adorable appearance, Lu Jinwan couldn't help but smile: "I have some. They gave me two big bags and specifically told me to give you the other one."

Jiang Zao's face turned even redder: "Ah~ Ah!"

Lu Jinwan knew when to stop teasing her: "Alright, I'll head back now. Call me if you need anything, bye~"

Jiang Zao nodded: "Okay, bye-bye."

After the door closed, Lu Xin jumped out from behind!

Lu Xin: "Ah!!! Zaozao!! Lu Jinye specially gave you these snacks!!!"

Jiang Zao's face flushed even more: "Oh dear, that!"

Lu Xin felt as if she had witnessed her favorite couple come true!

It jumped around wildly.

Jiang Zao stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at the large bag of snacks in her hand.

Images of Lu Jinye flashed through my mind.

At that moment, Lu Xin jumped out!

Lu Xin: "Good morning! I just remembered, when Lu Jinwan first met you, she called you 'sister-in-law'! Sister-in-law what! Of course, she's your sister-in-law!"

"My goodness! You're officially my sister-in-law now!"

Lu Xin kept talking,

They didn't see Jiang Zao's flushed face at all.

Lu Jinwan had just returned to her room after delivering the snacks when she started sending information to her brother.

Lu Jinwan: [Reporting, Commander! Mission accomplished perfectly!]

Lu Jinye replied quickly: 【Very good.】

Lu Jinwan thought for a moment: "Hey, brother, I have a feeling my sister-in-law definitely has feelings for you."

[You have no idea, when I mentioned the snacks you gave me, my sister-in-law's blushing little face was so tempting, I wanted to take a bite myself.]

Lu Jinye looked at Lu Jinwan's words: 【!?? You!?】

Lu Jinwan: [Don't worry~ I like men, I won't compete with you for them.]

Lu Jinye reassured himself: [Hmm, you can't beat me even if you try.]

Lu Jinwan: [...]

The conversation ended; the sky had been killed by Lu Jinye's chatter.

Lu Jinye sat alone in the car, recalling the words Lu Jinwan had said.

Jiang Zao might like me!?

but……

In Jiang Zao's words, she is more socially awkward in front of strangers, but more neurotic in front of acquaintances.

Could it be that she blushed because she wasn't familiar with Lu Jinwan and was therefore embarrassed?

Lu Jinye scratched his head, lost in thought.

Just then, the phone rang.

A WeChat message,

Lu Jinye unlocked his phone and saw a WeChat message from Jiang Zao.

Jiang Zao (trying to sound casual): (Photo of snacks) [Thanks for the treat, Brother Lu!]

Lu Jinye smiled helplessly, noticing that he didn't seem shy or interested at all!

It seems I still need to work harder.

Lu Jinye: [I'm glad you like it. If there's anything you'd like to eat, just tell me and I'll bring it over for you, or I'll take you to eat it.]

Jiang Zao looked at the WeChat message she received on her phone, and couldn't help but smile: 【Okay~】

Lu Jinye: [Yeah, you must be tired today. Get some rest.]

Jiang Zao: [Okay, goodnight.]

Lu Jinye: [Good night.]

Jiang Zao and Lu Jinye both looked at the words "Goodnight" on their phone screens and smiled broadly.

The result was that when people said "Goodnight, goodnight," no one actually felt at peace.

————

As the first rays of sunlight pierce through the thin mist and gradually illuminate the land of the capital, it is a new day.

Jiang Zao was woken up by Lu Xin shaking her.

Lu Xin: "Good morning, get up and get ready to leave."

Jiang Zao sat up groggily. She had thought about Lu Jinye all night and had been unable to sleep for a while.

Without a doubt, she must have two big dark circles under her eyes right now.

Jiang Zao patted her face and exclaimed, "Get up!"

She quickly tidied herself up and even put on some light makeup, looking absolutely stunning!

This made Lu Xin jump around and insist that Jiang Zao also do her makeup.

Using her superb skills, Jiang Zao gave Lu Xin a lively, cat-like makeup look in less than ten minutes.

This made Lu Xin appear even more radiant and cheerful.

The two happily took their bags and headed to the meeting point. The price of their beautiful makeup was that they didn't have time to eat breakfast.

Fortunately, Lu Xin had brought a few small bread rolls with her, so the two of them didn't have to set off on an empty stomach.

I had just boarded the bus to the Old Summer Palace.

Jiang Zao's phone rang.

Jiang picked it up and saw it was Professor Yun's call.

Jiang sat up straight and patted Lu Xin on the shoulder, telling her to speak more quietly.

Then I clicked to answer the call.

Jiang Zao: "Hey, Professor Yun."

Professor Yun's kind voice came through: "Jiang Zao, are you still in the capital?"

Jiang Zao: "Yes, we're here. We're about to visit the Old Summer Palace."

Professor Yun: "Are you free now? I'll have someone pick you up and bring you to Beijing University. I need to talk to you about something."

Jiang Zao nodded: "Sure, I can ask the tour guide for leave."

Professor Yun: "Okay, wait for me at the entrance of Yuanmingyuan. I'll send someone to pick you up right away."

Jiang Zao: "Okay."

Jiang Zao put down her phone and met Lu Xin's curious eyes.

Jiang Zao smiled and said, "What are you doing, looking at me like that?"

Lu Xin said, "Zaozao, you're so busy these days~ You don't have time to spend with me at all~"

Jiang Zao hugged Lu Xin: "Oh my~ Is Consort Lu jealous?"

Lu Xin played along perfectly, clutching the hem of her dress: "Mmm~ This servant misses Your Majesty~~"

Jiang Zao laughed heartily: "Then I'll wait until tonight, and then I'll properly favor Consort Lu."

Lu Xin kept rolling around in Jiang Zao's arms, making little noises.

Jiang Zao and Lu Xin fooled around for a while,

As they approached the Old Summer Palace, Jiang Zao went over and asked Director Wang for leave.

Jiang Zao was embarrassed; it was as if she was asking for leave every day: "Director Wang... I..."

Director Wang immediately got it: "Alright, go ahead and get busy. Remember to call me when you're done."

Jiang Zao smiled and said, "Okay, Director Wang."

The bus arrived at the entrance of Yuanmingyuan, and everyone got off one after another. Led by Director Wang, they lined up to enter Yuanmingyuan.

Jiang Zao waited alone at the door, waiting for Professor Yun's people to come and pick her up.

Jiang Zao was still a little nervous. Yesterday, Lu Jinye was with her, but today, she was facing such a highly respected teacher all by herself, and she was particularly nervous.

Professor Yun didn't keep her waiting long; he appeared in less than ten minutes, probably because Beijing University was relatively close by.

Once in the car, Jiang Zao realized that Professor Yun had come to pick her up in person, sitting in the passenger seat.

Jiang was flattered and overwhelmed!
