Chapter 68 What's the difference between you and spending money to buy meat?
"That's right." Zhu An nodded. Especially since Shen Shilang's grades were so good, he must be aiming for the top spot. He really couldn't relax so early.
After chatting with them for a while, Shen Shilang left and returned to the cabin.
"Shen Shilang, do you want to write a letter to Wei Zhaoxian and tell him that you have won the first place in the imperial examination?" Su Jinshi asked after returning home.
Shen Shilang shook his head. "Since you've made a show of breaking up, you can't write the letter. Otherwise, if someone finds out about it later, it will be troublesome."
"General Wei has been paying attention to me. Even if I don't believe him, he will know that I won the first place." Shen Shilang said.
"That's right." Su Jinshi said happily, "But you won the first prize, which is a great joy. We must celebrate it well. I will treat you to a feast tonight."
"Jinshi, I have never asked you whether these things you bought for me cost a lot of money?" Shen Shilang asked.
"It's okay. For me, it's not a burden at all to spend money." Su Jinshi said, "Didn't I tell you that in my world, I earn quite a lot, which is equivalent to..."
"Anyway, our living and consumption standards should be comparable to those of wealthy families." Su Jinshi said with a smile, "So you don't have to worry about me."
"Even so, you don't have to spend so much on me." Shen Shilang shook his head and said gently, "I have hands and feet, and I can earn money by myself. Besides, once I am given an official position and a salary, the situation will be better."
"It's your business to make money, but I'm willing to spend it on you." Su Jinshi said, "And I didn't actually buy you a lot of things."
"I just bought you a few clothes and a few meals. You usually earn your own money and spend it yourself." Su Jinshi smiled and held her cheek. Just for Shen Shilang's face, she was willing to give him money! "Then I'll buy you something too." Shen Shilang said softly.
"Even if you buy it, I can't receive it." Su Jinshi said subconsciously without thinking much.
Shen Shilang drooped his eyelashes slightly, gently hiding the disappointment in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He said: "You can keep it for now, and when we can meet again, I will send it to you together."
"Oh! Shen Shilang, don't spend all this money on me." Su Jinshi thought, how could there be a chance to meet? Isn't Shen Shilang wasting money? "We will definitely meet." Shen Shilang suddenly raised his head, his eyes firm, "You and I can communicate like this now, and you can buy things and send them to me. There must be a way to really connect our worlds."
Su Jinshi suddenly felt like crying. She also wanted to touch and hug Shen Shilang.
Not like now, but really in front of him and hug him.
Su Jinshi poked Shen Shilang's chest with a pursed mouth, "Shen Shilang..."
Hearing Su Jinshi's voice tremble, Shen Shilang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
"How about...how about you let me touch it properly?" Su Jinshi said pitifully, "If you can let me touch your abdominal muscles, if...if you can be more generous, it would be even better. It would be the best gift for me."
Shen Shilang: “…”
Just now he was worried whether Su Jinshi was crying, but now Su Jinshi left him speechless.
Shen Shilang suddenly sneered and said, "Then what's the difference between you and spending money to buy meat?"
Su Jinshi: “…”
As expected of a scholar, you really know how to speak.
Shen Shilang raised his eyelids slightly, "If you can appear in front of me one day, I will satisfy you."
As he spoke, Shen Shilang's ears turned red.
Su Jinshi poked Shen Shilang's red ears and sighed silently.
In the evening, Su Jinshi prepared a large table of food for Shen Shilang to celebrate.
Bought all from the mall.
He also specially selected rice wine with almost no alcohol content to prevent Shen Shilang from getting drunk.
When the palace examination comes, Shen Shilang will meet Emperor Jiacheng.
Facing the enemy who slaughtered his entire family, I wonder how angry and sad Shen Shilang would be at that time.
He had to pretend to be respectful and kneel down to Emperor Jiacheng.
This day was the day for the palace examination.
Shen Shilang got up before dawn to prepare.
Because the residence is far from the palace, it takes a lot of time on the way.
Su Jinshi also remembered this important day, and was afraid that he would not be able to get up, so he simply did not sleep and stayed up all night.
She didn't want Shen Shilang to bear it alone on such an important day.
The room was still pitch black, and the moonlight outside could not penetrate the paper window.
The quiet air in the house was filled with the biting cold of the night, so quiet that it made people feel a little depressed.
"Shen Shilang." Su Jinshi was afraid that a sudden sound would scare Shen Shilang, so he called in a low voice.
"Jinshi?" Shen Shilang was surprised, "Why did you get up so early?"
Su Jinshi didn't say that he actually didn't sleep all night.
"Today is an important day. How can I let you enter the palace alone?" Su Jinshi said, "I must accompany you."
Su Jinshi's voice sounded faintly in the quiet and dim room, but it had an energy that calmed Shen Shilang's heart.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
In the dim light, Shen Shilang had a faint smile on his lips.
Su Jinshi discovered that in this dimness, Shen Shilang's face became deeper and sharper.
When he smiled and spoke during the day, there was a hint of tenderness in his coldness.
But at this moment, there was an additional solemn and dominatrix temperament in the darkness.
Su Jinshi took a deep breath. Shen Shilang's temperament really appealed to her.
Su Jinshi gently touched Shen Shilang's eyebrows.
Although Shen Shilang couldn't see Su Jinshi, he subconsciously lowered his eyes and looked in one direction.
Su Jinshi just happened to see Shen Shilang looking straight at him.
Su Jinshi's fingertips gently slid along the line of Shen Shilang's eyebrows, and said softly to Shen Shilang: "Shen Shilang, although I can't appear in front of you now, I am always by your side."
"No matter what you do, I will help you." Su Jinshi said, "I will be here at all times."
Just do it with peace of mind and don't worry about anything.
No matter what danger he encountered, she would always find a way to save him.
Shen Shilang raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to hold Su Jinshi's hand.
The feeling of her fingertips on his brow was all too real.
He could even feel her body temperature.
It was as if there was a gentle and cunning woman standing in front of him, or even in his arms.
But when Shen Shilang raised his hand and clenched it, he found nothing, and his fingertips only touched the palm of his hand.
Shen Shilang lowered his eyes to hide the loneliness in his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."
Shen Shilang put down his hand, spread it out and looked down at his palm which was turned upward.
Somehow, Su Jinshi inexplicably understood what Shen Shilang meant.
He raised his hand and placed his fingertips on Shen Shilang's outstretched palm.
