“I think it’s pretty much true…” Zhang Ruyu cracked open a melon seed and looked at Wen Nan in front of him.
Didn't he get beaten up so badly because he bullied Lu Yanqing back then?
With a similar modus operandi, it must be Wennan!
Wen Nan frowned, and before he could speak, he gave Zhang Ruyu a cold look.
What's going on with Zhang Ruyu?
Is she deliberately trying to ruin her gentle and virtuous image in front of Lu Yanqing?
Wen Nan was unhappy.
When Zhang Ruyu received the cold glare, her hand trembled, and the sunflower seeds jumped out of her mouth in fright. Her arm shook, and half of the sunflower seeds fell to the ground.
"Sister...Sister...I was wrong." Zhang Ruyu's voice trembled.
He had been getting along well with Wen Nan and Lu Yanqing these past two days, and he almost forgot what kind of shrew Wen Nan was!
"I misspoke. I'm a gentle and virtuous girl. Yan Qing, you're so lucky..." Zhang Ruyu cracked open the last few melon seeds, preparing to leave the battlefield quickly.
"Don't waste the sunflower seeds..." Wen Nan frowned as he saw Zhang Ruyu had scattered sunflower seeds all over the ground.
"Yes, yes, sister, I'll pick them all up right away." Zhang Ruyu immediately squatted down and picked up all the sunflower seeds that had fallen to the ground.
"What happened to Zhuang Fei being expelled?" Wen Nan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhuang Fei comes from a well-off family, how could he possibly be suddenly fired?
Wen Nan asked casually.
Zhang Ruyu excitedly cracked open a sunflower seed. He then recounted everything that had happened at the academy that day.
"Zhuang Fei once wrote an article that got a good grade in an exam, but who knew it was plagiarized by Zhuang Fei."
A poor scholar who plagiarized—I don't know who it was today—corrected the identical points in two of the articles.
It was almost identical. It was posted on the notice board, and all the students at Fengya Academy knew about it. The news of Zhuang Fei plagiarizing someone else's work spread like wildfire.
Zhang Ruyu shook her head as she cracked sunflower seeds.
"Alas, you reap what you sow."
"The most taboo thing for scholars is plagiarism. The dean was furious, and all the teachers gathered together to discuss the matter."
"In the end, the decision was made to dismiss Zhuang Fei."
"Zhuang Fei's reputation among scholars is terrible."
"But the evidence is conclusive. If Zhuang Fei hadn't done this, it wouldn't have been exposed. He brought it upon himself."
"Sis, does that make you feel better?"
Wen Nan raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "Mm."
Zhang Ruyu sighed, cracked some melon seeds, and went to her study.
Just then, the mechanical voice of 859 came into Wen Nan's head.
[Target's corruption value -3, current corruption value 2.]
Wen Nan looked up at the study. The door was open, and Lu Yanqing was sitting upright, staring intently at the book in front of him.
A black shadow fell on the wooden wall.
Wen Nan lowered his head. [So he got his revenge, which is why his "darkening value" decreased? Was it Lu Yanqing who exposed Zhuang Fei's plagiarism?]
Wen Nan could guess a bit of it. But why is the corruption level only decreasing now?
Could it be that the humiliation of having her hair cut off that Lu Yanqing mentioned yesterday was for her...? That's why she answered Zhuang Fei that she felt relieved.
That's why the "darkening value" decreased?
"Yes, he did it." 859's affirmative voice came through.
Tsk tsk tsk, I feel a little touched for some reason.
Lu Yanqing looked up and saw Wen Nan, who was in a daze.
Wennan... has been very different ever since I fell into the water.
That's not bad. Wen Nan once jokingly said that he wasn't Wen Nan.
But how could it not be the same face?
Lu Yanqing assumed that Wen Nan had changed, but now she was speaking without restraint.
They always say things that make people uncomfortable.
...Lu Yanqing's hand holding the brush tightened slightly.
He sighed, but it wasn't a big deal.
Wen Nan walked into the kitchen; she had prepared a delicious dish for today.
Zhang Ruyu and Lu Yanqing should have a taste.
By the time the dishes were almost ready, the rice was almost cooked as well.
Wen Nan then invited the two of them out for dinner.
The old hen soup has been simmering since early this morning in Wennan, and it's still simmering now.
I just stir-fried some vegetables.
And another thing is... her heavy-duty dishes!
Zhang Ruyu moved at the smell of food, impatiently putting down the book in her hand. Lu Yanqing glanced at Zhang Ruyu.
Zhang Ruyu said sullenly, "I'll write later, dinner's ready."
"Okay." Lu Yanqing put down the book and walked out first.
Zhang Ruyu followed closely behind.
Everything in Wennan's kitchen is ready, and they are serving the rice.
"Please sit down first." Wen Nan poked her head out while serving rice in the kitchen, gesturing for Lu Yanqing and Zhang Ruyu to sit at the table.
It's just a pity... Wenzhou City didn't come today.
I occasionally come to Wenzhou to visit, but not very often, about once every seven days.
Zhang Ruyu consciously went into the kitchen to serve Wen Nan his meal.
Zhang Ruyu now does everything herself, even washing her own clothes, so as not to return to the Zhang residence.
However, neither Wen Nan nor Lu Yanqing, this married couple, are easy to mess with.
He had no choice but to follow his heart.
There were two dishes on the table, and another dish that Wen Nan placed in the middle of the table, covered with a bowl.
Neither Lu Yanqing nor Zhang Ruyu could glean even the slightest clue.
"Sister, what is this?" Zhang Ruyu held the chopsticks, tightening his grip slightly, and swallowed hard.
"Good stuff." Wen Nan tilted his head with a smile.
Zhang Ruyu believed it without a doubt.
Under the expectant gazes of Zhang Ruyu and Lu Yanqing, Wen Nan opened the middle plate.
The dish was covered in red oil and minced garlic... Zhang Ruyu couldn't quite make out what it was. It looked a bit like a crescent moon, but not quite... It was white with a hint of pink, coated with the spicy red broth from the bottom of the plate, making it look even more mouthwatering.
