I guess the lady must have had some hidden meaning in giving this candied haws stick as a gift.
"Tell the lady to thank her for the candied haws."
Liu Chun smiled and nodded, then said, "Miss has told me that there are many ways to eat these candied haws, braised, steamed, stir-fried, or boiled in soup."
Yue Lingfeng was silent for a moment, as if he couldn't believe what he heard, and asked hesitantly: "Miss, are you seriously suggesting this?"
Liu Chun covered his mouth and laughed secretly: "Master Yue, you'd better not take it seriously. Tomorrow is the Spring Examination. Don't get diarrhea."
Yue Lingfeng: ...
After Liuchun left, Yue Lingfeng stared at the pole of candied haws and didn't know where to put it.
He took a bunch and tasted it. The sugar coating was very sweet. Yue Lingfeng smiled slightly, and what he thought of in his mind was Wen Yu's lips.
But the hawthorn inside was very sour and astringent, not processed well, with a sandy taste and the seeds were not tightly removed. He couldn't help but frown and forced himself not to spit it out.
Yue Lingfeng actually doesn’t like these sweet and sour snacks, but it’s a different story when the young lady sends them to him.
He would naturally finish eating slowly and would not let the young lady down.
Before dawn the next day, Liuchun woke Wen Yu up from bed.
She glanced at the sky in a daze, "Oh my God, what time is it now?"
"It's already 5:45 pm, Princess. Didn't you say you were going to see Master Yue off?" Liu Chun explained, "Because there is a search before entering the examination room, candidates should go to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall around 5:00 pm to prepare for entering the examination room. If you want to see Master Yue off, you should go at 5:45 pm."
Wen Yu: ...
Okay, okay, it’s five quarters past three in the morning, a little after four in the morning, right?
I was careless. I can’t send it. I can’t send it at all.
But since she was the one who proposed it, I naturally couldn't stand her up, especially on such an important day as the first day of the Spring Examination.
If Yue Lingfeng starts to overthink because I didn't go and ends up performing poorly, then it would be unfair.
After all, to a certain extent, scientific examinations are more important than the modern college entrance examinations.
So even though Wen Yu was as sleepy as a sloth, she still showed up at Sancong Hutong on time.
The cold wind at Yinshi is so biting that it cannot be compared with that during the day. In addition, the sky is dark, which gives people a feeling of extreme depression. Wen Yu feels like she has been frozen stupid.
As soon as Yue Lingfeng went out, he saw Wen Yu. He showed a faint smile on his face: "I thought the lady was just trying to cheer me up and said she was coming to see me off."
Wen Yu's eyes, which were originally sleepy, suddenly widened. If you had told her earlier, she wouldn't have come. She got up at four o'clock, just like a self-indulgent fool.
"Thank you, Miss, for coming to see me off at Yin hour."
At this time, Yue Lingfeng took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Wen Yu, with a hint of nervousness and expectation on his face.
Wen Yu took it curiously, opened it and saw that it was a jade bracelet with nice color, which was obviously carefully selected.
She was a little surprised: "For me?"
Yue Lingfeng nodded: "Give it to the young lady for a lucky draw."
Wen Yu was a little amused: "Lucky? Shouldn't I be the one giving you the lucky gift? How can I ask you to give me something? This makes me look like I'm wrong for not even thinking of preparing a gift for you."
Yue Lingfeng pursed his lips and smiled, "Didn't the young lady send me a candied haws yesterday? It has a very good meaning. The lunch box is a gift from the young lady to me, wishing me success in the imperial examination."
When Wen Yu heard the word "tanghulu", she knew it was the one Lin Yuzhi had. She blinked and said, "This... isn't good, is it?"
"Why not? I think the candied haws that the lady gave me are very good."
Since Yue Lingfeng had no objection and was very satisfied, Wen Yu naturally did not say anything more. She said, "Okay, then after you pass the imperial examination, I will give you a proper gift."
At this moment, Wen Yu suddenly realized something, hugged her arms and said jokingly: "That's not right, didn't you say that you thought I was just trying to make you happy and didn't think I would come? Then why did you prepare this jade bracelet for me? If I don't come, who are you going to give it to?"
Yue Lingfeng: ...
He put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly with embarrassment: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady."
"But... Miss has already given you the gift for passing the imperial examination."
"What?" Wen Yu was a little confused, but soon realized that he was talking about proposing marriage, so she said, "Let's talk about it after you graduate from high school."
Yue Lingfeng nodded, knowing that this time the top spot would definitely be his.
He chuckled and said, "Miss, I'll be leaving now."
Wen Yu smiled, grabbed his arm and pulled it back, then held his cheek and kissed him gently on the corner of his lips, "Lucky kiss, come on, the future top scholar."
Yue Lingfeng was a little stunned. He stared at Wen Yu's lips, then suddenly held the back of her head and covered it gently.
The cold wind made his lips feel a little cold, but the soft and moist touch that seemed to suck his soul away was a fire in Yue Lingfeng's heart.
He stepped away slightly: "Miss, wait until I return from the exam."
There was a trace of moisture on Wen Yu's lips. She nodded, then picked up a strand of hair, gently pulled it off and handed it to Yue Lingfeng, shrugged and said, "I don't have a knife, but for the sake of my scalp, I'll give you one."
The hair was blown by the cold wind. Seeing this, Yue Lingfeng's eyes froze instantly and his thoughts seemed to be stagnant.
After a moment, the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably. He took the hair, wrapped it carefully in a towel, and then placed it close to his heart.
His eyes trembled, and he held Wen Yu's hand, "Thank you for the gift of black hair, Miss. Yue Lingfeng will never let you down."
Wen Yu touched his face and said, "Go ahead."
Looking at Yue Lingfeng's back as he left in the dark night, Wen Yu inexplicably felt a sense of tragedy, like a mother sending her child to an exam.
Then she felt a chill for a moment and tried to get rid of this extremely terrible feeling. It was clearly a beautiful woman sending a talented man, so where did the mother and child come from?
At this time, Liu Chun on the side suddenly said: "Princess, I actually have a knife, but you pulled it out so unexpectedly that I didn't have time to speak."
Wen Yu: ...
What to do, it feels like a hair has been pulled out and the discomfort of a concussion.
