So what they just discussed was that they would sleep in one room and he would sleep in another?
Watching them lock the door and then turn off the lights to go to sleep, Shen Changan felt like he was abandoned by the whole world.
He returned to his room dejectedly and crawled into the cold bed.
If I had known, I should have reported it more seriously last night. Now I have to sleep alone.
Jiang Li and Lai Erniang chatted until after midnight when they both fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion.
Shen Changan tossed and turned in bed alone, unable to fall asleep. Finally, it was almost 12 o'clock before he forced himself to go to bed.
Before falling asleep, Shen Changan was still thinking about a question. In the past, when he was alone, he could fall asleep as soon as he lay down.
I'm obviously very tired now, so why can't I fall asleep?
Everyone got up late the next morning, and the room was still quiet when Shen Changan woke up.
He thought that Jiang Li was going to separate from Lai Er Niang today, and they must have chatted very late last night.
He tiptoed out of the room and slowed down to cook noodles in the kitchen.
While busy, Shen Changan did not forget to take out a wallet from his pocket and put it in the corner of the cupboard.
Lai Er Niang will definitely see this place when she takes the dishes and chopsticks every day, and I believe she will find this red envelope soon.
Lai Erniang treats Jiang Li very well, just like her own daughter.
As an outsider, he was also treated preferentially. During the few days they stayed there, they did disturb Lai Er Niang and also ate a lot of food from their house.
Giving the red envelope in person was a concern that he would not accept it, so Shen Changan thought of giving it quietly.
After Shen Changan cooked the noodles, Lai Erniang and Jiang Li slowly came out of the room.
When Lai Erniang was about to go to the kitchen to work, she saw three bowls of noodles already placed next to the stove.
"Auntie, are you up? I've already cooked the noodles. Just wash up and come over to eat."
Shen Changan greeted her with a smile while holding a bowl of noodles.
Lai Erniang originally thought that since he had called Jiang Li away last night, Chen Changan would be a little displeased with her today.
Unexpectedly, Shen Changan not only prepared breakfast, but also greeted her with a smile.
This guy is good!
Lai Erniang's first reaction was this. At least he was very open-minded, and he was tall and good-looking. If he really liked Jiang Li, he was indeed a man worthy of trust.
Shen Changan had no idea that just by showing a little bit, he changed Lai Erniang's opinion of him.
The three of them gathered together to eat noodles, originally thinking that it was just an ordinary bowl of noodles.
After eating, Jiang Li found that the noodles tasted very good.
“Chen Changan, I didn’t expect you to be quite good at cooking noodles.”
"This noodle is really delicious. It looks simple, but it's actually delicious. The young man has good cooking skills and is a nice person."
Lai Erniang looked at Shen Changan with admiration and kept praising him during the heartbreak.
After breakfast, Jiang Li helped clear the table and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Lai Erniang quickly pulled her into the room and said, "Jiang Li, come here for a moment. Auntie has something to say to you."
Jiang Li put down his bag and followed with a confused look on his face.
Lai Erniang closed the door, took Jiang Li's hand, lowered her voice and spoke in her ear.
"I can see that this young man is a very good person and is sincere to you. If you don't reject him, you two can get along well."
"Auntie, weren't you still saying bad things about him last night? How come you changed your mind after just a good night's sleep?"
Jiang Li is now very curious, what did Shen Changan do to win Lai Erniang's favor?
"My thoughts are too one-sided. I've only been with him for a day or two and have only seen part of him. Let's get along first. In my heart, you are the best."
"Because I treat you as my own daughter in my heart, when I look at others, I feel that they are not good enough for you. But through a few small things this morning, I have reversed the impression of Shen Changan in my mind."
Lai Erniang briefly expressed her thoughts, and Jiang Li fell silent after listening.
Even she herself thought that Shen Changan would definitely be a little angry because she slept in the same room with Lai Erniang last night.
Who knew that not only did he not do that, he also cooked delicious noodles for them.
Jiang Li really felt that he did a good job in this regard. No wonder Lai Erniang also changed her opinion of him.
"Okay, Auntie, I understand. I'll observe him for a while. If we're really suitable for each other and he really treats me well, I'll consider it carefully."
"Okay then, I'll help you keep an eye on your sister's affairs."
As soon as Lai Erniang mentioned her sister, Jiang Li quickly took out a small picture of her sister from his pocket.
It is a relatively simple portrait, but it captures the sister's physical features very vividly.
"Aunt, this is what my sister looks like. I'm leaving this portrait for you. If you see a girl who looks exactly like the one in this portrait later, she must be my sister."
"Okay, leave it to me."
Lai Erniang folded the small portrait and put it in her pocket. Jiang Li then took out a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into her pocket.
"Aunt, I'm sorry to bother you by staying here these days. This is a small gift from me. I hope you can accept it."
Lai Erniang accepted her red envelope without hesitation, but she quickly gave Jiang Li a red envelope as well.
This red envelope has been sealed, it seems to have been prepared long ago.
The two exchanged red envelopes, and Jiang Li left with his bag.
Shen Changan followed behind her to protect her.
On the way down the mountain, Jiang Li took out the red envelope out of curiosity. She opened the red envelope and looked inside, and found that there was 20 yuan in it.
“There’s so much money!”
Jiang Li remembered that there was only ten yuan in the red envelope she gave to Lai Er Niang. Because she had said before that her family had no money, she didn't dare to give more. She didn't expect that Lai Er Niang, who was not financially well-off herself, was so generous to her.
"No, this is too much money. I need to go back and return the red envelope to Lai Erniang. She has a hard time herself. I can't ask her for so much money!"
Jiang Li was about to go back, but Shen Changan stopped her in time.
"Since the red envelope your aunt gave you is a token of her love, just take it. If you take it back, won't that make her sad?"
"But, but this is too much. I've been eating and drinking for free for so many days, not only did I not pay for my living expenses, but I also received such a huge red envelope for free. How can I feel good about this?"
Jiang Li felt even more embarrassed when he thought about asking her to help with work later.
"It's okay. I wrapped a big red envelope for her this morning when I was cooking noodles and put it in the cupboard."
“How much money did you put in the red envelope?”
"30 yuan."
Jiang Li did a simple calculation. She gave Lai Erniang 10 yuan, Shen Changan gave her 30 yuan, and Lai Erniang gave her 20 yuan. In the end, they all gave Lai Erniang 20 yuan more.
Jiang Li quickly took out 10 yuan from his pocket, and gave Lai Erniang 20 yuan and stuffed them together into Shen Changan.
“Shen Changan, I’ll return this money to you.”
