Chapter 351: Debt of Favor
Wen Nan's real body was in Yu Shujun's guest room, on the windowsill, watching the stars with her. The only two remaining clones had to deal with Ru Huan, Xiao Fei, Wen Wen, and Xu Zhenzhen, and were so busy that they were dizzy.
It was only then that I realized that theory is theory and practice is practice.
This liquidity principle sounds reliable, but it is really a laborious task to implement it in practice.
After finally settling Xiao Feiwenwen and Xu Zhenzhen, leaving only one clone to deal with Ru Huan's second round of problems, Wen Nan controlled the other clone and returned to Zhuang Yichen's bedroom. It was almost dawn.
Wen Nan originally thought that, with Zhuang Yichen's personality, she should be curled up in bed waiting for him to come over, or she should be sulking because she hadn't waited for Wen Nan for too long.
However, unexpectedly, the bedroom was empty at this moment and there was no sign of Zhuang Yichen at all.
Where are the people?
Wen Nan walked to the head of the bed and touched the quilt. It was at room temperature, not cold at all - obviously, Zhuang Yichen did not return to the bedroom after chatting with him on the terrace.
Where did you go?
Wen Nan opened Zhuang Yichen's chat box and sent a message to her: "Are you not coming back to sleep yet?"
After waiting for a long time without getting a reply from the other party, Wen Nan was feeling strange when he heard hurried footsteps coming from the door.
Then came the shrill voice that came closer and closer like a little train: "Husband, put a table mat~Husband, put a table mat~Husband, put a table mat~"
Wen Nan looked over in the direction of the sound and saw Zhuang Yichen, wearing an apron on her chest, thick heat-insulating gloves on her hands, and holding a bowl of rice porridge, trotting towards the bedroom.
Wen Nan hurriedly pulled out the low table next to him, took out a large table mat from underneath, and placed it in the center of the table.
Zhuang Yichen held the bowl of porridge and placed it steadily on the table mat, then stood up and exhaled a breath of cool air, "That's great, I didn't freeze you."
As she spoke, she raised a hand wearing a thick heat-insulated glove and waved to Wen Nan like a lucky cat, "Husband, come here, eat the freshly baked boat porridge while it's hot~"
Wen Nan walked to the table and asked, "You didn't sleep at night just to prepare this porridge?"
Zhuang Yichen nodded vigorously, "I did it myself, and I want to... want to apologize to you."
She heard from her sisters that if you want to keep a man's heart, you have to keep his stomach first - if you make a man unhappy, you can reconcile with him quickly.
Tonight, it was indeed Zhuang Yichen who made the mistake first, which made her husband unhappy, so on the way back, she thought of using this method to apologize to the other party.
"I asked our Cantonese chef to stay up all night with me and finally made this. I was going to give it to you as breakfast, but since you sent me a message asking, I just brought it over in advance."
As she spoke, Zhuang Yichen stood up stiffly, like a primary school student taking an exam for the first time and placing the test paper in front of his parents. "I made this myself. Here, husband, try it. Is it delicious?"
When Wen Nan heard the words "made by himself", alarm bells immediately went off in his mind.
Although Zhuang Yichen's level is at the bottom in this copy, he is still a high-level character with sixteen stars.
It is definitely not easy for a character like this to make delicious food with his own hands.
"What are you doing? Ouch," Zhuang Yichen stamped her feet. "Hubby, please don't look at me like that. Although this is my first time cooking, I'm very skilled. It's definitely not a weird dish. Why don't you try it~"
Whether it was a dark dish or not, it was a token of his kindness, so Wen Nan would definitely drink it even if he had to pinch his nose.
So he didn't say much, picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful, put it into his mouth and tasted it.
Um……
The taste was surprisingly good! The proportions of the ingredients were just right, the seasoning was salty and fresh, and the cooking time was perfect.
"It tastes good." Wen Nan praised sincerely and couldn't help asking, "Did you really make it?"
Zhuang Yichen's eyes dodged, "Of course, I, I stole the secret recipe from Master Li and made it according to the recipe."
Wen Nan took another sip, "Really?"
"The secret recipe is mainly the ingredients," Zhuang Yichen said excitedly as she sat down next to Wen Nan. "The sashimi, fried dough sticks, egg shreds, and barbecued pork shreds, do you think they are particularly different?"
Wen Nan nodded, "Well, it does taste good, so what's the secret recipe?"
"The secret recipe is that these ingredients must be made by Master Li himself!" Zhuang Yichen said seriously.
Wen Nan: ...
No, the secret recipe was made by Master Li himself, so what does this porridge have to do with you? Seeing Wen Nan's questioning look, Zhuang Yichen said, "I'm responsible for putting the secret ingredients into the porridge!"
After that, she added: "Besides, it's not just the ingredients, the temperature of the porridge is also very important, so I've been watching it myself." Zhuang Yichen paused here, and Wen Nan was about to nod in agreement when she continued, "Watching Master Li's entire cooking process!"
Wen Nan: ...
Ms. Zhuang, you have single-handedly redefined the term "made by hand".
Wen Nan took another sip of the hot porridge and thought, this is good too. Fortunately, Miss Zhuang did not help in person, so the original deliciousness of the boat porridge was preserved.
Seeing that the person opposite was eating contentedly, Zhuang Yichen moved closer and said, "Honey, if you like this porridge, I will make it for you next time~"
Then he asked cautiously, "Then you are not angry anymore, oh~"
Wen Nan chuckled, "How can I be angry when I have such a lovely and virtuous wife?"
"Huh, no one would believe your sweet words," Zhuang Yichen thought for a moment and felt that the atmosphere was good, so she took advantage of the situation and said, "Hubby, if you don't like it, I won't bring my friends to see you in the future. But if you like your female friends, you can let them stay at our house for a few more days."
Wen Nan was stunned, "So generous?"
Zhuang Yichen snorted, "I have always been so generous. Why, husband, do you only realize it now?"
Of course Wen Nan wouldn't believe what the other party said.
Although they have not spent a long time together, Zhuang Yichen has a very straightforward personality, everything is written on his face, and it is easy to guess.
Therefore, Wen Nan said nothing on the surface, but secretly activated his mind-reading skill. Soon, a female voice sounded in his mind -
"Those women are indeed pretty, but I can see that, Ye Jiu, you and them are just playing around."
'Women have the keenest sense of smell in this regard. Whether they like someone or not, their eyes can't lie.'
"You can see that there is not much sincerity in their eyes."
"You seem to have some real feelings for that Qiqi, but she's probably just a little sister you keep by your side, an internet-addicted girl who only thinks about looking at her phone all day long. You don't need to be afraid of her."
"In this case, my status will not be shaken by them at all. Letting them live here can highlight my status and also show my tolerance. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone? Hehe."
Woman, your abacus beads are about to fall on my face.
Wen Nan complained in his heart and couldn't help but start to examine himself again -
When he looked at the other characters, was his expression really so perfunctory?
Has his acting skills deteriorated so seriously?
Just as he was thinking, soft fingers suddenly touched his lower lip, pulling Wen Nan back to his senses.
Zhuang Yichen gently wiped the corner of his lips, her eyes locked tightly on Wen Nan's lips, and said with a smile: "It's all on your face, husband, I'll help you wipe it off."
Wen Nan turned his head away, raised his hand, and wiped it casually in the direction of the other person's finger, "Anything else?"
"Yes, I'll help you wipe it."
As Zhuang Yichen spoke, she suddenly leaned forward, pouting her lips, wanting to put her lips on Wen Nan's lips.
Just as they were about to kiss, Wen Nan suddenly tilted his head back to avoid the other party's kiss.
…
…
“Boom!”
In Yu Shujun's guest room, Wen Nan subconsciously leaned back and his head hit the window frame.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Hiss," Wen Nan rubbed the back of his head, "Sorry, operational error."
Yu Shujun raised his eyes to look at Wen Nan, and quickly realized that the so-called "operational error" referred to the fact that the other party's clone left with Zhuang Yichen did not control the strength during the pulling.
Although he had no interest in spying on the interactions between Wen Nan and other characters, Yu Shujun was very concerned about the safety of Wen Nan's clone - if the clone was injured, the damage would be shared proportionally with the original body - so Yu Shujun was forced to separate a part of the light of the Root Breaking Slash to monitor the clone's every move in real time.
Therefore, she knew very well that although the other party seemed to be leisurely watching the stars and chatting with her in the room, in fact, he was very busy with business.
Considering that the main quest requires Wen Nan and those characters to spend three nights safely, there is nothing wrong with Yu Shujun doing this.
But, Zhuang Yichen almost succeeded just now...
This inevitably made Yu Shujun feel annoyed, and she quietly leaned forward. She wanted to move her face closer without making any noise.
However, halfway through, his movements faltered and he couldn't help but back down.
I still can't ask for a kiss as naturally as Zhuang Yichen.
never mind.
Given their current relationship, it would be better for them not to take risks with things like kissing.
He said he needed some time to think about it, and since she had agreed, she shouldn't act on her own and do something that crossed the line.
Otherwise, you may cause disgust on the other side and end up making things worse, which may not be worth the effort.
Thinking of this, Yu Shujun retreated back to the other side of the windowsill.
Wen Nan did not notice Yu Shujun's attempt to interrupt halfway.
Wen Nan pinched Ru Huan's earlobe with his right hand, and felt a cool touch from his fingertips, which seemed to be Zhuang Yichen's skin, but it shouldn't be so hard...
Ah, it's the Void Stone.
Wen Nan's attention finally returned to the body on the windowsill.
Rubbing the round and smooth gem with his fingertips, Wen Nan looked at Yu Shujun again and said, "By the way, thank you for the gift." Thinking of tens of millions of gold coins being spent on a piece of stone, Wen Nan couldn't help but feel sorry for the little maid, "At this price, even if I were sold, I'm afraid I can't pay it back."
Yu Shujun subconsciously replied: "What I gave you is yours, why should I return it?"
"It's too expensive." Thinking that the entire [Wen Na] Guild only has assets worth a few million gold coins, Wen Nan couldn't help but ask: "In order to buy such a stone, you won't empty the entire [Wu Ming] Guild, right?"
Yu Shujun wanted to say that this little bit of gold coins was nothing.
However, thinking of the words just now from the other party that he sold himself to pay off the debt, Yu Shujun changed his mind and said, "The more difficult part is the purchase qualification. In order to obtain the qualification, I spent a lot of effort, used the shuttle postmark, and asked [Feng Shui Huan] for help. It was not easy to get it."
It really took a lot of effort, didn't it? This time I owe you a big favor.
Oh, that's not right.
Wen Nan was just about to say something when he felt guilty about what he had done. Suddenly, he realized something.
Girls like Yu Shujun and Zhuang Yichen are different.
Perhaps Zhuang Yichen could brazenly claim that the Cantonese chef's boat porridge was made by herself and take credit from Wen Nan.
But it was too abnormal for Yu Shujun to say such words to take credit.
Based on Wen Nan's understanding of Yu Shujun, in this situation, even if she really paid a lot, she would probably be stubborn and refuse to admit it, and then reply coldly, "This little money is nothing."
He would definitely not take the initiative to tell Wen Nan about the difficulties he encountered like he is doing now, unless... there is another hidden story.
Thinking of this, Wen Nan looked at the other party suspiciously, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.
Yu Shujun felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he looked away, no longer looking at the other person, gritted his teeth, and whispered, "If you feel guilty, you can, you can..."
Yu Shujun pursed his lips, paused for a moment, and let out a sigh of relief.
Forget it. I can't even say such words.
Her lips were tightened into a line and she swallowed the rest of the sentence.
Wen Nan waited for a long time and found that the other party was like constipated. He even took back his words halfway through. He felt a little annoyed and subconsciously said, "What can I do? Just finish what you are going to say."
It was just a casual remark. After he finished speaking, Wen Nan realized that he was a little impatient and used a commanding tone. Wouldn't that trigger the control pattern?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Yu Shujun clench his hands into fists again, frowning, looking at Wen Nan with great resistance. Although he was reluctant, he was forced to say the second half of the sentence he had just swallowed back: "Kiss me, and I'll pay it back."
After the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat subtle.
Wen Nan stood there in a daze, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Yu Shujun was forced to say such words, and she felt so ashamed that she wanted to jump off the windowsill.
She stood up suddenly from the window, not daring to look at the person opposite her any longer, and turned to walk towards the door.
"I'm just kidding," Yu Shujun said with a tight lip, "Don't take it seriously."
However, just after taking half a step, his wrist was grabbed by the person next to him.
