What I fear most is when the air suddenly becomes quiet, and it is a sudden quiet in a certain area, and then the surrounding areas become quiet as well.
But the silence did not last long. The unaware diners smiled at each other and continued chatting.
After Ning Wan finished speaking, she stared at Shen Jingyi seriously, paying attention to the changes in his expression, and did not miss the hint of loss in his eyes.
Shen Jingyi said nothing, or perhaps he didn't know what to say.
Xiaoju didn't dare to interrupt at all, and was even surprised by her princess's shameless words.
Ning Wan: Were the words you just said too harsh?
The smile in Shen Jingyi's eyes disappeared completely. He lowered his eyes to look at the kettle on the table. He put the index finger and middle finger of his right hand together and tapped on the corner of the table.
The sound without any rhythm exposed Shen Jingyi's emotions.
Suddenly, Shen Jingyi stopped moving his hands, looked up at Ning Wan, and said seriously: "I won't let them hurt you."
"Won't."
After saying that, he added.
It was just that Shen Jingyi couldn't tell whether the "no" at the end was meant for himself or Ning Wan.
Ning Wan looked at the nervous Shen Jingyi and for some reason couldn't laugh anymore.
Being able to receive the male protagonist's protection should be something she should be proud of, right?
Shen Jingyi didn't say anything else, just looked at Ning Wan in silence, with an unnecessary worry in his heart. He was clearly not afraid.
"Their target is not me..." Ning Wan spoke again.
Their eyes met again. She was right, those people were not coming for her.
Chen Jingyi looked at Ning Wan, who was really heartless, and thought that if this was her idea of driving him away, he would not be unable to accept it.
"So just be good and I'll protect you, okay?" Ning Wan finally said what she wanted to say the most.
She hadn't forgotten what Shen Jingyi had always said to her before, "Be good", "Be good", "Why can't you learn to be good?"...
She thought at that time that if she got the chance, she would definitely let Shen Jingyi taste the taste of these words.
Now that the opportunity has come, she will naturally seize it.
One sentence shocked the two people three times.
Xiaoju: The ice is three feet thick, and it didn’t freeze overnight. Your Highness the Princess’s love words are deadly.
Wait, love words?!
Her Royal Highness the Princess said sweet words to Shen Jingyi?
Shen Jingyi wanted to take back what he had just said. She was not really heartless.
It was just that this sudden beauty made Shen Jingyi suddenly feel a little unreal.
He looked at Ning Wan, who seemed to be joking in front of him, and spoke clearly and firmly, saying very seriously: "Then Shen Mou will take it seriously."
When Shen Jingyi confirmed the answer, Ning Wan heard it as if he was going to sign some kind of contract, and it was the kind that could not be tampered with.
Ning Wan didn't care, but nodded very considerately, and said with the same serious attitude: "This princess never lies. Now that I have said it, I will definitely do it."
Ning Wan's voice was not loud, and the inn was already noisy, so only Shen Jingyi and Xiaoju heard the words clearly.
After receiving the affirmation, Shen Jingyi suddenly heard the sound of his heart beating faster. Looking at Ning Wan sitting opposite him, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.
Is this what it feels like to be protected by someone?
It was a truly amazing experience.
Shen Jingyi automatically ignored Ning Wan's previous words "So you have to be a good boy", and only heard Ning Wan's words to protect him.
Ning Wan wasn't joking.
Although she couldn't protect Shen Jingyi with her strength, she could shout at the critical moment: "Let him go, Shen Jingyi is this princess's man."
If those people are sensible, then it will be exactly what she wants; if they are not, then she will use her lightness skills to make them escape directly.
Ning Wan couldn't help but smile just thinking about that scene, even though it was just a fantasy and hadn't become a reality.
The feeling of turning a big boss into a little wife is really great.
Shen Jingyi looked at Ning Wan, who was unable to hide her smile, and forced himself to calm down: "Well, Shen believes in the princess."
Shen Jingyi suddenly felt that his decision was right. If he had not followed, he would have missed this conversation.
"The food is here!" Suddenly, the waiter came with a tray, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.
“First dish: Braised crucian carp.”
“Second dish: braised spareribs.”
"Third dish: Spicy chicken."
…
The waiter brought the food to the table while announcing the names of the dishes.
And Shen Jingyi's brows also frowned.
Why are there so many braised dishes?
Moreover, there is too much chili in the spicy diced chicken. If she eats too much, her throat might not be able to bear it.
Looking at the fourth dish in front of me: Mapo Tofu.
The only vegetarian dish also has chili.
Shen Jingyi couldn't help but stare at Ning Wan, but Ning Wan was obviously immersed in the delicious food on the table and didn't care about Shen Jingyi's gaze at all.
"Sir, the dishes are all here, please enjoy!" After the waiter quickly served the dishes, he ran away without stopping.
It was as if Ning Wan and others were some kind of vicious and evil people.
"Waiter, another serving of lotus root soup." Shen Jingyi didn't care whether the waiter was scared or not, and spoke again.
When the waiter heard the call, he had no choice but to respond quickly: "Okay, okay." and immediately went to notify the kitchen.
It doesn't matter. He will be very busy anyway, so there's no point in being afraid.
When Ning Wan heard Shen Jingyi ask for a bowl of lotus root soup, she couldn't help but look up.
Can’t eat spicy food?
Ning Wan thought about her time with Shen Jingyi and realized that they had never had a meal together. Could this be the reason?
Ning Wan didn't say much. It was just a bowl of soup, and she could still afford it.
However, when Ning Wan's chopsticks reached for the plate of spicy chicken, Shen Jingyi took action.
"It's spicy." Shen Jingyi reminded.
Ning Wan nodded. She knew that spicy chicken would be soulless if it wasn't spicy.
But Shen Jingyi didn't let go because of this, he just explained seriously: "Drink some soup first, so as not to hurt your stomach."
Shen Jingyi thought of the scene when Ning Wan coughed before, and glanced at the chicken cubes full of chili peppers. He really didn't dare to let Ning Wan eat it like this.
At this time, the lotus root soup was served.
The lotus root soup in front of me has a rich broth and pink lotus root chunks. Just by looking at it, I can tell that the soup has been cooked and placed there long ago, otherwise it would not be served on the table so quickly.
The fragrant lotus root aroma made Ning Wan adopt Shen Jingyi's advice. She scooped a spoonful of lotus root soup into a small bowl and drank it in small sips.
After finishing the small bowl in a short while, Ning Wan picked up her chopsticks again and picked up the spicy chicken, adding, "I've already had the soup."
Seeing this, Shen Jingyi naturally said nothing more. He just scooped another spoonful of lotus root soup into a small bowl beside him to cool, and then picked up the chopsticks beside him and started eating.
