Chapter 292 I Apologize to You
Judging from Shen Shulin's behavior after he entered the room, he undoubtedly loved Li Wutong very much.
Judging from Li Wutong's attitude towards him, Princess Wuping should not look down on such a young man from a noble family.
Wei Changtian was not sure about the reason, but it was most likely the case.
Since the two of them were in this kind of relationship, why did Li Wutong take the initiative to ask to see Shen Shulin? And then pick food for himself in front of the latter?
According to common sense, there are only two possibilities for this action.
First, Li Wutong wanted to use herself as a shield to completely cut off Shen Shulin's thoughts about her.
But considering Li Wutong's identity, this possibility is not very high.
Although the Shen family is considered a prominent family in Dafeng, its status is still far behind that of "Liu Wei Xu" in Daning.
In this case, if Li Wutong wanted to reject Shen Shulin, it would only take a word. Why would he need to go to such great lengths? Therefore, everything Li Wutong did today seemed more like an intentional attempt to provoke a conflict between him and Shen Shulin.
As for the purpose Although it was a bit naive, Wei Changtian always felt that Li Wutong wanted to tell him in this way——
It’s not like no one is chasing me! "."
Wei Changtian couldn't help but laugh in his heart after coming to this conclusion, but considering that they were in Dafeng after all, he didn't give Li Wutong too much face.
However, the latter refused to give in. Seeing Wei Changtian push the porcelain bowl away, he actually personally served him a bowl of fresh soup.
"Master Wei, drink some warm soup then."
“.”
She first picked up the dishes and then served the soup. If Li Wutong hadn't called him "Young Master", people would have believed her if she said she was Wei Changtian's wife.
After looking at Shen Shulin whose face was ashen, Wei Changtian did not answer again, nor did he drink the soup. He just poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly.
The candlelight was bright, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward for a moment.
Fortunately, Wang Qixing quickly stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Hahaha, it's all my servants' fault for being so inconsiderate that I had to trouble the princess to come down and entertain the guests. I should drink a glass of wine as a punishment!"
Putting Wei Changtian in the position of a "guest" and describing Li Wutong's behavior as "an act of hospitality", Wang Qixing obviously saw through the trick, so he used this statement to save face for Shen Shulin.
"Gulp~"
He first drank a glass of wine himself, and then arranged to have a drink with Shen Shulin.
After two glasses of wine, the scene that just happened was temporarily forgotten. It seemed that even Li Wutong had forgotten what he had just done. He turned around and started chatting with Shen Shulin in a random manner.
One of them loves practicing martial arts, while the other only knows how to read and write articles. They should have no common topics.
However, surprisingly, Shen Shulin also knew something about cultivation and some interesting stories about the martial arts world, so there was no dull moment.
I just don't know if he deliberately wanted to know these things in order to please Li Wutong.
Alas, how pitiful are the dogs in the world. Looking at Shen Shulin, whose expression changed from gloomy to bright and full of happiness, Wei Changtian poured another glass of wine, and while drinking, he wondered whether Li Wutong would do something weird again later.
Then he soon knew the answer.
"Oh, Shulin."
I don't know what topic they were talking about, but Li Wutong suddenly smiled and said to Shen Shulin: "I remember that you are very good at writing poetry."
"Master Wei happens to be here right now, why don't you two have a competition?"
“.”
Hearing this, Shen Shulin was stunned for a moment. He secretly glanced at Wei Changtian, and after hesitating for a while, he shook his head with great bitterness and difficulty.
"Princess, everyone knows that Master Wei is a talented poet. I... I am ashamed of myself."
"You have never competed with him, so how do you know you are not as good as him?"
Li Wutong smiled and said, "Besides, even if you lose, what does it matter? I think no matter if you are a warrior or a scholar, you should not be afraid of losing."
"this"
Shen Shulin opened his mouth and suddenly made up his mind after being encouraged by Li Wutong's eyes.
"Master Wei, since the princess said so, may I ask you for advice?"
Although he knew that he was no match for Wei Changtian, Shen Shulin's tone at this time was very firm.
He thought that Wei Changtian would definitely take this opportunity to humiliate him severely, and he was already prepared to endure the humiliation.
But unexpectedly, Wei Changtian just put down the wine glass and shook his head calmly.
"Mr. Shen, I won't compete with you."
"Why?" Shen Shulin was stunned.
"Because I can't write poetry." Wei Changtian answered truthfully.
"Can't write poetry?"
Shen Shulin frowned, and then seemed to understand something, his expression instantly turned ugly: "Master Wei, I don't need your pity!"
"Yes, maybe even if I write hundreds of poems, they still can't be as good as one Spring River Moon Night, but as the princess said, what's the harm in losing?"
"I, Shen Shulin, am not so narrow-minded that I cannot afford to lose!"
"Could it be that Master Wei thinks I am not worthy of competing with you in poetry?!"
“.”
From Shen Shulin’s perspective, Wei Changtian said “I can’t write poetry” either because he felt sorry for himself and didn’t want to compete, or because he looked down on himself and didn’t want to compete.
No matter which of these two things was the reason, it made him very angry. In addition, Li Wutong was watching beside him, so he definitely couldn't swallow this anger.
But no matter whether he could swallow it or not, Wei Changtian had no intention of competing with him in poetry.
"Mr. Shen, I really can't write poetry."
"If you insist on competing, then even if you win today, you can always say you beat me no matter who asks you in the future."
"Also, although I don't know what your relationship with the princess is, I have something to say."
"Everyone, I'm full. Excuse me."
Wei Changtian stood up with a fist clasped, not caring about everyone's reactions. He said a few words and pushed the door open to leave the dining hall.
Watching his departing back, Shen Shulin's face flushed slightly, Wang Qixing's face was full of embarrassment, but Li Wutong's expression contained a hint of smugness that was difficult to conceal.
Wei Changtian was humiliated and he "avenged himself".
After secretly rejoicing for a while, he realized that Shen Shulin beside him seemed to have said something to him.
"Mr. Shen, what did you say just now?"
"Princess, I, I just said."
Shen Shulin took a deep breath and repeated with a trembling voice: "Wait, wait, would you like to go for a walk in the courtyard?"
"oh."
Li Wutong waved his hand, and his attitude suddenly became several times colder than before.
"I am a little tired, you should go back home early."
Half an hour later.
Now that Wei Changtian is gone, Shen Shulin naturally has no "use value" anymore, and this dinner also loses its meaning of continuing.
After the hasty ending, Shen Shulin was "driven" back to the Shen Mansion with a look of loss, while Li Wutong was very happy and prepared to go back to the house to sleep, intending to tease Wei Changtian about today's events when they were on their way tomorrow.
But who knew that she didn't have to wait until tomorrow. Soon she saw the familiar figure under an ancient tree in the yard.
"You guys go back and rest."
After giving instructions to the maids around her, Li Wutong walked to Wei Changtian with a very proud tone.
"Master Wei, what are you doing standing here so late?"
"Could it be that you are depressed because you can't write a poem?"
“.”
The courtyard is silent late at night, the bright moon casts a myriad of shadows across the sky.
Wei Changtian turned around under the moonlight and replied calmly:
"I’m waiting for you."
"Wait for me?"
Li Wutong never expected to get such an answer, and a blush immediately appeared on her cheeks.
"W-What are you waiting for me to do?"
"Princess, if I said anything inappropriate before and hurt you, then I apologize."
In Li Wutong's surprised eyes, Wei Changtian said slowly:
"I think you should probably apologize to Master Shen, too."
