This was the first time that Li Han witnessed the horror of a jealous black-hearted man. Just because she met Du Jian once, he now looked at her like a prisoner every day. Li Han felt very painful.
"Alas, I used to think that being liked by a domineering and scheming man would be a very exciting thing. I didn't expect that when it really came to me, I found that this kind of love was so tiring and suffocating. It turns out that men who are both handsome and scheming are all jealous people!" Li Han rolled over and over in bed and complained.
Now, apart from thinking about how to please Lu Li, Li Han was also thinking about Tuoba Jun and Lu Yuan. These two people could be considered a pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks. Compared with Gui Yue and Du Jian, their fate was even worse. Li Han almost doubted his ability to match them up.
Li Han was thinking in his mind how to connect Tuoba Jun and Lu Yuan, and the two protagonists of this matter began to take the initiative.
Tuoba Jun hadn't looked for Lu Yuan for quite some time since he left in anger last time. Although he was still unwilling and angry in his heart, he couldn't let Lu Yuan go after all, so he decided not to wait for Lu Yuan to come and apologize, and chose to take the initiative.
Tuoba Jun learned some simple pastry-making techniques from Li Han, and during her time at home, she began practicing. After all, she was the Third Princess of the Western Regions, where pastries were rare. Most of what they ate were dried meat and wild fruits, which they could just grab and eat. Even if these pastries were available, they rarely had the patience to make them, especially for someone as carefree as them.
In the past, Tuoba Jun would have definitely thrown up his hands and quit, but this time, because he had someone in his heart, Tuoba Jun did not give up despite failing many times. He was not even afraid of blowing up the kitchen. Finally, hard work paid off, and after countless failures, she finally succeeded.
Tuoba Jun changed into clean clothes, dressed up, carefully put the prepared pastries into the food box, and went to find Lu Yuan very satisfied.
However, after Tuoba Jun went to find Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan's attitude towards her was still lukewarm. Tuoba Jun couldn't understand what he was thinking. She felt angry and helpless, but this time she didn't plan to be angry anymore.
Tuoba Jun would not do the same thing a second time. After all, she had fallen in one place and could not fall again. Tuoba Jun was ready to adjust her strategy. No matter what Lu Yuan's attitude towards her was, she planned to take the initiative, thinking that as long as she persisted, she would be able to impress Lu Yuan.
"Lu Yuan, I made some pastries for you. They are all made by me. This is my first time making them, so I don't know if they suit your taste. Come and try them!" Tuoba Jun said to Lu Yuan gently with a smile on his face. As he spoke, he took out the pastries he made and placed them in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan originally didn't want to pay attention to Tuoba Jun, but when he heard her say that she made the cake for him personally, he couldn't help but feel touched and looked flattered: "You made this for me personally?"
Tuoba Jun nodded, still shy like a young girl, and said softly: "This is your first time making it, if it doesn't taste good, don't say it directly, just be more tactful."
Lu Yuan was amused by Tuoba Jun's words, but he still felt warm in his heart. He never thought that one day he would be so favored by a princess that she would take off her jewelry and make cakes for him. This was the first time that Lu Yuan felt such warmth since he lost his memory.
However, although Lu Yuan was very grateful to Tuoba Jun, he still couldn't get over the conversation with Li Han. He was still hesitant about Tuoba Jun. Although he looked flattered, he still kept his distance.
Seeing that Lu Yuan remained unmoved, Tuoba Jun thought of what Li Han had said to her before.
Before Tuoba Jun came to find Lu Yuan, she had already discussed this matter with Li Han. After all, Lu Yuan was different from the men in the Western Regions. If he was a man in the Western Regions, Tuoba Jun would not have been so entangled and could have just captured him and raised him in the mansion. But the bad thing was that he was a man from the Central Plains, and the ethical concepts engraved in his bones were difficult to tame after all.
Li Han told Tuoba Jun that the Lantern Festival would be coming soon, and asked her to invite Lu Yuan to go and light lanterns together.
"The Lantern Festival? Lighting lanterns?" It was the first time that Tuoba Jun heard of this. After all, the cultural differences between the Western Regions and the Central Plains were quite significant.
"Oh, you probably don't know about the Lantern Festival, but I'll give you a brief introduction now. It's not too late!" Li Han, considering Tuoba Yun's cultural differences, explained, "The Lantern Festival can be considered a blessing festival in the Central Plains. On this day, people of all ages gather in the streets to pray for a happy and healthy future. Loving couples also release lanterns on the lake, which is also a way to pray for a happy marriage."
"Pray for a happy marriage!" Tuoba Jun is very good at grasping the key points. He is very happy when he thinks about having a happy marriage with Lu Yuan.
"Yeah, so then you can drag Lu Yuan along to light lanterns and express your love to him. Maybe in that atmosphere, Lu Yuan will agree!"
Tuoba Jun was satisfied with Li Han's proposal, so this time she came to Lu Yuan for this matter. Tuoba Jun picked up a piece of cake and fed it to Lu Yuan: "Try it!"
Lu Yuan didn't refuse and took a bite. Tuoba Jun asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"
Lu Yuan nodded desperately. Although the taste was a little off, it was good enough for Tuoba Jun, who was making it for the first time. Lu Yuan also expressed his understanding. At this time, Tuoba Jun suddenly said, "In a few days, it will be the Lantern Festival in the Central Plains. Come with me to light the lanterns!"
"Lighting lanterns? I don't want to go!" Lu Yuan refused without even thinking, and his tone was very firm.
Tuoba Jun also expected Lu Yuan to say this, and was not surprised. He slowly blurted out: "You ate my cakes, shouldn't you repay me? I don't want anything else, I just want you to accompany me to release lanterns!"
"This..." Lu Yuan didn't expect that this was actually a trap set by Tuoba Jun. He sighed helplessly: "Okay, I'll go with you!"
Tuoba Jun was very happy after hearing this, and picked up a few pieces of cakes and handed them to Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan was helpless.
Speaking of the Lantern Festival, Li Han also had tasks assigned by the system to do, and this time the Queen also planned to let Li Han celebrate the festival in the palace, and also asked to bring Lu Li along, saying that it would be meaningful for the couple to be together.
In fact, ever since Lu Li kissed Li Han out of jealousy last time, Li Han's mind has been full of Lu Li's face. Unknowingly, her feelings for Lu Li have deepened. She feels like she seems to have fallen in love with Lu Li, but she is still a little uncertain in her heart.
