After Chen Yan returned to the capital, the emperor thought of his injuries and the journey he had just made to Lizhou City.
So he was sent to Luting Academy to teach and recuperate at the same time.
Shen Yan enjoyed his leisure time.
He was teaching archery to the students of Luting Academy.
The boy was wearing a black suit with several patterns sewn on the cuffs with gold thread. Her black hair was neatly tied with a headband of the same color, with only two flowing ribbons hanging behind her head.
He walked into the door and raised his eyes slightly. His calm and sharp eyes immediately quieted the noisy teenagers.
"What are you arguing about?" Shen Yan asked.
Some students who were relatively close to him immediately became excited and boldly stepped forward to get close to Shen Yan.
"Major General, we are talking about your little fiancée."
"Ayan, your little fiancée is really brave!" The person who spoke was Xue Yuanyuan's brother, Xue Songjin, the son of Zhenyuan Marquis.
He and Shen Yan are about the same age and have similar status, so they have the closest relationship.
Xue Songjin patted Shen Yan's shoulder nonchalantly.
Shen Yan slapped his hand away unhappily, walked a few steps away, looked directly at him, and asked, "What do you mean by that? Explain clearly."
Xue Songjin spread the news of Lu Wan and Xue Yuanyuan's bet with ill intentions.
Finally, he looked at Chen Yan and said, "Do you want to take care of it? Everyone knows that Miss Lu is really..."
The words were not yet finished, but everyone knew what they meant.
After all, Lu Wan's reputation as a vase beauty has spread throughout the circle of aristocratic children in the capital.
"Since she made the bet herself, she must be confident about it." Shen Yan said.
"I have no right to interfere, and," Shen Yan said gently, "I respect her."
When he said this, his long eyelashes drooped slightly, diluting the coldness around him a little, turning it into a unique and rare gentleness.
Xue Songjin felt a little uncomfortable.
Not only did he not see Shen Yan being humiliated, but he also had an inexplicable urge to burn lovers on the road.
At this time, the young Xue Songjin didn't know that the name of this impulse was the impotent rage of a single dog.
"Chen Yan, you have to think about it carefully. If Lu Wan loses, she will be embarrassed in front of everyone in the hospital."
Xue Songjin stared at Shen Yan and said, “If she loses face, it means you will also lose face.”
Shen Yan's expression did not change, he just raised his eyes to look at him, and asked in confusion: "Why are you so sure that Lu Wan will lose?"
Xue Songjin laughed out loud, his eyes swept across the people around him, and then slowly fell on Shen Yan, asking: "You really don't know? Who doesn't know that Miss Lu is famous for her embroidered pillow——"
He hadn't finished his words because a feathered arrow grazed his temple and hit the target behind him.
Xue Songjin only felt the sound of wind passing by, his eyes blurred, and a slight pain came from his cheek.
The words he hadn't finished speaking got stuck in his throat, and he could only stare at the culprit in shock.
However, Chen Yan on the opposite side still had that cold and self-restrained look, wiping the bow and arrow with his slender and graceful fingers.
Meeting Xue Songjin's gaze, he said slowly, "Sorry, my hand slipped."
Xue Songjin couldn't help but curl his lips. There was no sincerity at all, and it was totally untrustworthy!
"Since you think Lu Wan can't win, why don't we make a bet as well."
Amid the shocked and surprised eyes of the whole room, Shen Yan spoke calmly and calmly.
Xue Songjin finally came back to his senses from the shock, but he felt as if he was in an even greater shock.
In his mind, Chen Yan has always been calm and indifferent, as if no matter what happens, he can't arouse the slightest interest.
But today he actually said that he wanted to bet with him for Lu Wan.
Xue Songjin certainly couldn't miss this opportunity.
He was afraid that Shen Yan would regret it, so he quickly raised his voice and said, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. There are so many people here as witnesses, so don't go back on your word!"
Shen Yan didn't say anything, just glanced at him calmly.
From that look, Xue Songjin vaguely saw contempt and disdain - would he, Chen Yan, be someone who would go back on his word?
Even though he didn't say a word, Xue Songjin still felt that he was insulted.
Shen Yan said: "Okay."
Xue Songjin breathed a sigh of relief.
He couldn't help laughing wildly in his heart, as if he had already seen the scene of stepping on Shen Yan.
Since he was a child, because they were of similar status, he was always taught by his father, "Learn from Chen Yan!"
Later, he entered the Lanting Academy. He was still studying the Six Arts with great difficulty, but Shen Yan had already become a high-ranking official.
His father was even more upset.
In the academy, she had to be tortured by Chen Yan, and when she returned home, she had to listen to Zhenyuan Hou's nagging.
Xue Songjin, who was deeply poisoned by "other people's children", finally saw a glimmer of opportunity to stand up and sing like a serf.
Thinking of this, Xue Songjin couldn't help but thank Lu Wan.
If he really beats Shen Yan this time, he will definitely spend a lot of money to build a temple for Lu Wan!
"Chen Yan," Xue Songjin couldn't help but ask hesitantly, "Are you really not afraid? If you lose, I will make you do something extreme!"
Hearing this, Shen Yan actually curled the corners of his lips.
The arc is not obvious, but it is indeed a smile.
“She wouldn’t let me lose,” he said.
Xue Songjin's urge to burn the couple became even stronger.
…
…
Lu Wan obviously didn't expect that her bet with Xue Yuanyuan would eventually turn into a bet between Shen Yan and Xue Songjin.
What she didn't expect was that those big names in writing fan fiction could keep up with the trend so closely.
That night, Taozhi placed a bunch of brand new bookstores on Lu Wan's bedside.
Lu Wan couldn't help but flip through it.
It was written with such sincerity and love that was as deep as the sea and as strong as gold that she even began to feel a little dazed as she read it.
——Chen Yan seemed to love her terribly.
"Pa!" Lu Wan immediately slapped himself.
Wake up! You're just a cannon fodder, don't make so much of a scene!
Lu Wan asked Taozhi to destroy these evil fan fictions.
Taozhi looked confused.
Until she accidentally saw one of the books, it turned out to be about the strange relationship between Chen Yan and Xue Songjin.
Taozhi understood.
It turned out that the young lady was unhappy about this and wanted to burn all the books.
She felt that it was her fault, but the lady did not blame her.
Taozhi looked at Lu Wan with tears in her eyes and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Miss, don't worry! Taozhi will definitely carefully select the best scripts for you in the future!"
Lu Wan: “……?”
Although no one knows what this little maid has thought of in such a short time, it doesn't seem to be very good.
Compared to Taozhi, what she doesn't understand even more now is Chen Yan.
Everything is fine, why is he joining in the fun?
Perhaps, it’s the damn desire of men to win?
Lu Wan shook her head and ordered ambitiously: "Taozhi, bring all the books over! I want to read late at night!"
Half an hour later, Lu Wanyan died.
