Zhang Ruyu walked into the study and then stole a glance back.
Lu Yanqing hurriedly reached out and pulled Wen Nan away from him.
"Go back to your room and rest for a while, I'll come." The young man's ears were so red they seemed to be bleeding, and his voice, which he tried to keep calm, sounded somewhat hurried, like the sound of a flowing spring.
"Okay." Wen Nan didn't refuse, her breath sweet and fragrant.
"My husband is truly an all-rounder, he can do everything. Looking back now, I realize that having such a husband is my blessing."
Wen Nanxing's eyes lingered on Lu Yanqing, seemingly casually.
Wen Nan has always been like this, but Lu Yanqing still hasn't been able to adapt.
Lu Yanqing reached out and placed the meat that Wen Nan had cut into the pot, then coughed awkwardly.
"Didn't you say you were tired? Go and rest first." He pretended not to hear what Wen Nan said above.
Wen Nan nodded before returning to her room.
Lu Yanqing opened the kitchen door, and the cooking fumes drifted out of the house.
He was stir-frying green peppers and meat when he coughed a few times from the spiciness of the peppers, and his face and neck turned a pinkish-red.
The red marks on my ears... haven't faded yet.
Lu Yanqing cooked dinner tonight, and Wen Nan took advantage of the break to go to the fields behind the house.
It's almost finished digging, more than a meter deep, but not completely done yet.
In the middle, a small square was left to fill the soil. This was for water that was brought in from outside. After it flowed in, the pond formed a hollow circle shape.
She wanted to leave some soil in the middle so that the lobsters could dig holes and build nests there.
Wen Nan also had people fill in the ridges of the adjacent fields to raise them considerably, so that the crayfish wouldn't escape from the pond.
After all, they couldn't climb out anyway.
She will dig a canal to Hequ tomorrow.
In this way, the water in the pond is flowing.
Wen Nan checked everything before heading back.
I just pushed open the red lacquered door.
Lu Yanqing had already packed everything. He was slightly stunned when he saw Wen Nan come out from outside.
Didn't Wen Nan say she was going back to her room to rest?
How did you get out from outside?
"Why did you go out?" Lu Yanqing asked, while serving Wen Nan a bowl of rice.
Zhang Ruyu didn't need anyone to call him; he came out just by smelling the aroma.
"I went to check on the pond. It's going to be filled with water tomorrow, so I'm checking it out carefully first." Wen Nan smiled as she sat down at the table and took the chopsticks that Lu Yanqing handed her.
Zhang Ruyu waited for a long time, but Lu Yanqing still didn't serve her any rice.
Zhang Ruyu looked at Lu Yanqing with a deep gaze, then resignedly served herself rice.
"What pond?" Zhang Ruyu asked.
But no one paid any attention to Zhang Ruyu.
Zhang Ruyu stayed in his study at the academy every day, rarely leaving the room. Since Wen Nan and the other person hadn't told Zhang Ruyu, he naturally wouldn't know.
But still no one paid any attention to Zhang Ruyu.
...
"You've worked hard." Lu Yanqing lowered his eyes slightly, and the beauty mark at the corner of his eye seemed to droop a little.
"It's no trouble at all. My pond is already built, and my husband will be the owner of the pond from now on." Wen Nan smiled as she picked up the stir-fried green peppers and pork in front of her and swallowed another mouthful of rice.
He gave Lu Yanqing a thumbs up.
"My husband's cooking skills are getting better and better. From now on, apart from the food he makes, I think that no one else's cooking is edible!"
Lu Yanqing felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Zhang Ruyu's probing gaze was far too direct.
Zhang Ruyu put down her chopsticks, not even having time to chew the food in her mouth.
He had seen this scene countless times before, and thought he was immune to it.
But... it's so sour!
This meal is better left uneaten!
Zhang Ruyu picked up a few bites of food, then turned and silently went to the study.
After Zhang Ruyu left.
Lu Yanqing looked at Wen Nan seriously and said, "In the future, you should watch your words. I... well, Zhang Ruyu is still here."
Lu Yanqing thought for a long time but couldn't find an adjective to describe it; he couldn't adapt.
She also couldn't adapt to being praised unexpectedly in front of others.
"Yes, I'll tell my husband secretly later." Wen Nan didn't refuse and nodded obediently.
...I have to say something no matter what.
"Never mind, it's nothing serious." Lu Yanqing reached out and picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks, placing it in Wen Nan's bowl.
Wen Nan slightly raised her eyes. Her clear, bright eyes looked at Lu Yan and said crisply, "Husband, my hand hurts... feed me."
Lu Yanqing looked up at Wen Nan's hand holding the chopsticks.
She's already eaten half a bowl of rice, and now she's saying her hand hurts?
He would never believe it.
Wen Nan noticed Lu Yanqing's gaze and immediately put her chopsticks on the table.
She raised her hand weakly.
"It really hurts."
Wen Nan's eyes sparkled as she looked at Lu Yanqing with a sincere expression.
"You've already eaten half a bowl of rice, and now you're saying it hurts? It's too late."
Lu Yanqing replied coldly.
“Husband…” Wen Nan pouted slightly, looking at Lu Yanqing pitifully.
Lu Yanqing turned and went to the kitchen, took out a wooden spoon, and handed it to Wen Nan.
Wen Nan "..."
Wen Nan stopped when she had had enough, and ate her white rice spoonful by spoonful.
I'm so depressed... so depressed...
Lu Yanqing, who was standing next to her, would occasionally put a piece of food in Wen Nan's bowl and have her scoop it into her mouth with a spoon.
After the meal, Zhang Ruyu took the initiative to wash the dishes.
Wen Nan and Lu Yanqing did not stop it.
It's already March, and in five months, Lu Yanqing and Zhang Ruyu will both be taking the exam.
