Tang Chen saw that Wang Yanzhou had opened up and thought he could talk for a while. Besides, it was really time for dinner. She could already smell the aroma coming from the kitchen. "Wait, let's serve the food first. We can talk while we eat."
"Chen Xin, serve the dishes."
Tang Chen watched as Chen Xin and Liang Shuyi brought out the dishes she had ordered one by one. Just as she was about to start eating, she realized something seemed off about the dish. Take, for example, the fried pork liver with leeks on the table. She never eats animal offal, so she definitely wouldn't order that. Wang Yanzhou was a mysophobe, and he always thought these things were unclean, so it wasn't him.
Looking at the dishes on the table that he couldn't name, Tang Chen was a little confused: "Strange, there are many things here that I didn't order?"
After a dry cough, Shen Xin explained: "...I ordered it for her."
Liang Shuyi sat down naturally opposite Tang Chen, then waved and beckoned Chen Xin over: "It's time to eat, sit here, the feng shui here is good!"
Chen Xin's eyes showed some hesitation, but he just stood aside without saying a word. Wang Yanzhou saw that he suddenly became reserved and said helplessly: "Sit down and eat together. It's rare for her to come here."
"……yes."
Surprisingly, the person who talked the most at the dinner table wasn't Tang Chen, but Liang Shuyi. She was constantly chatting and picking up food, incredibly attentive. Chen Xin, on the other hand, seemed aloof and indifferent, but Tang Chen, a seasoned veteran, was so full of energy that his ears blushed. He devoured every dish she was given. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk! Wang Yanzhou never picked up any food for her. What a difference!
However, Tang Chen had never imagined that Chen Xin could actually have such, uh, innocent moments. This normally seemingly ruthless man, he hadn't expected that. They say even heroes struggle with the temptation of beauty, and the ancients weren't wrong. So, the question was, if Wang Yanzhou and Liang Shuyi fell into the water at the same time, who would he save? Such a serious question, Tang Chen said, must be posed to the parties involved.
"Well, Chen Xin, let me ask you a question. Think carefully before you answer. If your master and Shu Yi fell into the river at the same time, and you could only save one, who would you save?"
Liang Shuyi's hand trembled slightly as he picked up the food, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared: "...That's a really good question."
Tang Chen blinked and said that as a close friend, she would be the one to take on this kind of test: "I am your sister Tang, so the questions I ask are naturally worth discussing."
Liang Shuyi put down the bowl and chopsticks, his eyes seemed to hide the sea of stars: "So, who are you going to save?"
Wang Yanzhou, who received Chen Xin's distress signal, picked up the food slowly while trying to smooth things over for him: "There's no need to answer this question. Chen Xin will definitely save Liang Shuyi."
Tang Chen said that although she knew the answer was most likely this, it was wrong to rush to answer: "Why!"
Liang Shuyi said: "Because he can swim, and I can't swim."
Tang Chen looked at Liang Shuyi with an expression that was difficult to describe. Originally, she wanted to help Liang Shuyi, but how could this woman betray so quickly? "... Boring, let's eat."
After eating and drinking, Tang Chen was able to basically draw a rough outline of the relationship between Liang Shuyi and Chen Xin, Wang Yanzhou and Lin Zirong.
Simply put, the relationship between them is that she loves him, he loves her, he doesn't love her, but she loves him. Easy to understand, simple and clear: "Your relationship really isn't complicated at all. Based on this calculation, I think I have a rough idea of your identity."
Wang Yanzhou raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "I didn't realize that your brain is much more useful than before."
Tang Chen forced a weak laugh and asked, "Are you praising me or insulting me?"
"Of course I'm praising you."
Tang Chen nodded in satisfaction, looked at the bright lights outside the window, stretched his body, and planned to run away: "Okay, I'm full, I'm going home."
When Liang Shuyi heard this, he quickly jumped behind Chen Xin and said, "It's already so dark, let's leave tomorrow morning!"
Tang Chen said: "You want to stay."
Liang Shuyi frowned and pleaded, "Then, are you willing to fulfill my wish?"
"I don't want to. Let me tell you, I changed to a new bed, but you haven't slept on it yet!" As he spoke, Tang Chen took advantage of Liang Shuyi's inattention and grabbed her.
When Liang Shuyi heard that Tang Chen had a new bed, she was actually tempted, "Really?" But at this moment, her mind told her that although it was fun to be able to share a bed with friends and chat about everything, "No, no, you almost led me astray. If you want to leave, go ahead. I want to stay and help my doctor run the shop."
Seeing Liang Shuyi's useless look, Tang Chen let go of his hand: "Tsk tsk tsk, alright, alright, yours is yours. No one is competing with you, look at your little ambition."
"It's not impossible for you to stay. Is my room still available?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and said, "Put away the sundries."
Tang Chen said, "Brother, I seem to see a hint of deceit in your smile. Also, you really don't give me face at all:"
"Fuck, let's go home, let's go home."
Wang Yanzhou continued with a smile and added: "Your room is gone, but mine is still sleepable."
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen's first reaction was to look at Liang Shuyi and Shen Xin, and then he kicked Wang Yanzhou's foot with both strength and gentleness: "...You know that this is called openly molesting a decent woman!"
"It's you I'm teasing."
"How can you be so shameless?" Apart from anything else, he always told her to be reserved! He was fine, but there were other people here, other people, she didn't care about face!
"I learned it from you."
Chen Xin and Liang Shu were annoyed by the two of them playing around. After exchanging glances, they secretly went to the backyard hand in hand.
Wang Yanzhou saw that it was getting late, and Tang Chen must be tired after walking a lot today, so he stopped teasing her: "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. There are plenty of guest rooms here, you can stay in whichever one you want, or..."
"Stop, I'll stay in the guest room. That's a happy decision."
The moon was high in the sky, and Tang Chen and Liang Shuyi were both sound asleep in their respective rooms. Tang Chen, engrossed in his sweet dreams, was completely unaware that his room was being visited by a "gentleman on the beam" every night. However, this "gentleman" wasn't there to steal anything; he was simply passing by carelessly, truly carelessly.
Wang Yanzhou looked at Tang Chen's sleeping face as if he was tireless, staring at her sometimes in a daze, sometimes laughing, as if he was stupid. When Chen Xin went to the study, he saw that although the candle was still lit, there was no one in sight; thinking that Wang Yanzhou should be in Tang Chen's room, he tiptoed upstairs and entered the room.
"Lord."
