Chapter 169 Hair Tie



Wenzhou Cheng took a sip of congee, his eyes fixed on the door of Wen Nan's room.

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with my sister today?" Wenzhou asked cautiously. Although he also wanted his sister to take him to the academy, she was usually very tired, and he hoped she could sleep a little longer.

"Go to school after you finish eating," Lu Yanqing said, changing the subject without saying anything else.

Wenzhou Cheng didn't ask any further questions. After he finished eating, he and Zhang Ruyu went to drive the oxcart.

Zhang Ruyu sent Wenzhou City to the Children's Academy before returning to Fengya Academy himself.

I also asked for a day off for Lu Yanqing.

Wen Nan was sleeping, and the atmosphere between Lu Yanqing and Wen Jinzhong outside was unusually strange.

Wen Jinzhong probably looks down on Lu Yanqing now, after all, the other party is just a poor scholar, and although he has never cared about Wen Nan over the years.

But it's clear that Wennan has made something of himself now.

Wen Jinzhong felt that Lu Yanqing was not good enough for his beloved daughter.

Normally, Wen Jinzhong would have already started to show his displeasure, but... after what happened last night.

He was trembling with fear when he snatched the bowl from Lu Yanqing's hand.

He said somewhat sullenly, "I'll go wash up, old man."

Seeing how diligent Wen Jinzhong was, Lu Yanqing naturally let go.

While washing dishes in the kitchen, Wen Jinzhong poked his head out and spoke earnestly to Lu Yanqing.

“My daughter has a bad temper and doesn’t know how to respect her elders. You’re an educated person, you should know that.”

Although my father was quite confused before, he's changed now! I'm quite useful now, so don't even think about kicking me out.

Wen Jinzhong spoke with great vigor.

Lu Yanqing looked up and glanced at Wen Jinzhong.

"Father-in-law, the accommodation fee has been paid. Who can let you leave?" Lu Yanqing raised his eyebrows slightly. He went to the study and then sat in the courtyard.

It's the spot where Wen Jinzhong usually sits and sunbathes.

Wen Jinzhong wanted to wake this brat up, but he held back for the sake of his own life!

But Wen Jinzhong just stayed home sunbathing; he had no desire to go out and work. By the end of the month... he definitely wouldn't be able to pay for his food.

Lu Yanqing's words at this moment undoubtedly awakened Wen Jinzhong.

He doesn't have a single penny on him!

However, Wen Jinzhong knew that Wenzhou City had money, and he had also considered it.

However, Wenzhou City was young, but extremely sensitive, especially when it came to money. He didn't let Wen Jinzhong see a single copper coin.

Wen Jinzhong began to worry again.

He wanted to sit in the courtyard and drink some cool boiled water, but Lu Yanqing took his seat. He wanted to curse but didn't dare, so he eventually went back to his room and closed the door.

The house fell silent; only the chirping of birds could be heard outside. Lu Yanqing turned the pages of his book.

He felt the sun was too strong, so he put down his book and went into his room.

Just then, Wen Nan turned over.

"It's getting late, are you still getting up?" Lu Yanqing asked. He then drew back the bed curtains.

Wen Nan, still half-asleep, opened her eyes to find it was already bright outside.

She sat up abruptly, then tilted her head and looked at Lu Yanqing blankly.

Why don't you go to the academy?

Lu Yanqing asked Zhang Ruyu to ask for leave today, without Wen Nan knowing anything about it.

Wen Nan went to bed very late last night, and Lu Yanqing specially drew the bed curtains, making it dark inside. Wen Nan slept very soundly.

The familiar, fresh scent of soap surrounds me.

Wen Nan reached out and rubbed her hair, looking completely bewildered.

"Aren't you taking a break today either?" Wen Nan's brain continued to malfunction.

Gentle and dazed.

Lu Yanqing reached out and smoothed Wen Nan's messy hair.

"I'll go to the government office with you." The young man's voice was tinged with amusement as he went to the wardrobe next to him and took out a pink dress for Wen Nan.

He reached out and handed it to Wen Nan.

Wen Nan accepted it.

Lu Yanqing turned and went out, then closed the door.

Wen Nan then got up to change her clothes.

He specifically took leave... to accompany me to the government office?

But she can actually manage on her own, though she felt a little warm inside.

Having someone accompany him is nice, but wouldn't that interfere with Lu Yanqing's studies?

"Don't think about it. Do you think he cares if you waste a day?" The mechanical voice of 859 appeared in Wen Nan's mind.

Wen Nan nodded.

You're right, his grades have always been good.

859 [...]

Why do I suddenly feel like I've been shown up again?

It's a wise ruler system! Why would it want to watch them fall in love?

If you want to find a romantic partner, go to the dating system next door!

...Sigh, I'm numb.

After changing her clothes and washing up, Wen Nan, with her hair disheveled, peeked out and looked at Lu Yanqing in the kitchen, who was putting porridge into a pot to heat it up.

"Husband," Wen Nan called out.

Lu Yanqing put down what he was holding and walked over. "What's wrong?"

Wen Nan reached out and grabbed the boy's wrist, pulling him inside.

He reached out and handed Lu Yanqing a peach wood comb.

“I told you before that my husband would help me with my hair. Today is a good opportunity.” Wen Nan sat in front of the dressing table.

As life improved, the household items increased, and the woman's smiling face was reflected in the slightly yellowish mirror in front of her.

The boy standing behind them looked somewhat at a loss.

Wen Nan had mentioned it once before, but he hadn't taken it seriously.

Lu Yanqing remained motionless for a long time.

Wen Nan rested her head on one hand, looking at Lu Yanqing in the mirror, her tone unusually melancholic.

"Is my husband unwilling?" The woman's voice was soft and gentle, but Lu Yanqing suddenly realized what she meant.

"No."

"I'm just afraid I won't do it right."

Lu Yanqing reached out, his slender fingers stroking Wen Nan's jet-black, glossy hair as if it were the finest silk, but he gripped the peach wood comb tightly in his hand.

She carefully combed Wen Nanshun's hair.

Wen Nan's black hair was very smooth. Even though it looked like a bird's nest in the morning, Lu Yanqing quickly tidied it up and it was smooth again.

Although Lu Yanqing said he might not be able to do it well, he didn't slack off in the slightest.

"Yes, I always have to learn... I hope my husband will do my hair up for me often in the future." Wen Nan nodded solemnly.

Lu Yanqing is an all-around talent who can do everything. He can basically comb Wen Nan's hair just as well.

When choosing jewelry, Wen Nan took out a silver hibiscus hairpin from the mahogany box in front of her.

There were other hairpins on Wen Nan's desk, but Wen Nan never wore them.

She almost always carries this.

It was a gift from him.

Wen Nan handed it to Lu Yanqing.

Lu Yanqing reached out and tucked her hand into Wen Nan's dark hair.

But then he heard the woman praising him.

"My husband does everything so well, washing clothes, cooking... and now he can even comb hair. Is there anything my husband can't do?" Wen Nan turned her head, looking at Lu Yanqing with starry eyes.

Lu Yanqing coughed awkwardly.

"It's not as good as you say."

"Yes!" the woman said firmly.

The man in black in the woodshed felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to the sudden silence around him.

Under the same roof, the atmosphere on both sides was so different.
