In the evening, Wen Nan went to the college and brought everyone back.
Wen Nan was busy in the kitchen, and Lu Yanqing wanted to go over and help several times.
But for some reason, Zhang Ruyu suddenly became very diligent today, desperately pulling Lu Yanqing to explain things to her.
Lu Yanqing spent the entire day in his study.
Wen Jinzhong didn't cause any trouble. He wasn't in the yard; he was in the kitchen, doing something, I don't know...
Wenzhou City finished its homework early this morning, and then disappeared without a trace.
Lu Yanqing was somewhat suspicious; it was unusually quiet today.
"Lu Yanqing, take a look, how should this problem be solved?" Zhang Ruyu saw that Lu Yanqing was distracted, so he pulled Lu Yanqing over.
Lu Yanqing had no mind to think about anything else.
After a long while, the aroma of food wafted in from outside.
Wenzhou City then came to invite Lu Yanqing out for dinner.
A group of people sat at the dining table.
The dishes today are quite plentiful.
There were more than ten dishes.
The key point is that no one touched their chopsticks... all their eyes were on Lu Yanqing.
Lu Yanqing looked completely bewildered. He glanced at Wen Nan beside him.
The woman slowly approached and said, "Happy birthday, my husband."
The woman's voice was crisp and sweet, and the fresh scent of hibiscus emanating from her made Lu Yanqing panic.
It turns out today is his birthday.
In a surprising turn of events, Wenzhou City presented Lu Yanqing with a large chicken leg, saying, "Happy birthday, brother-in-law!"
Lu Yanqing lowered his eyes and then raised them back to their usual clarity.
"Thank you," the young man said gently, his voice sincere and earnest.
Wen Nan reached under the small dining table and held Lu Yanqing's hand tightly.
Surprisingly, Lu Yanqing didn't dodge; he reached out and grasped Wen Nan's soft, boneless hand.
Wen Nan raised an eyebrow slightly, clearly somewhat surprised as well.
He was originally a poor scholar... If it weren't for Wen Nan, he probably would never have celebrated his birthday in his life.
He hadn't done it for many years.
He himself had almost forgotten about it.
The meal was incredibly warm and cozy. After Lu Yanqing finished eating, Zhang Ruyu told him to get some rest.
Even Wenzhou City, where he usually went to find Wen Nan, was locked up for his father.
Tell Wenzhou City not to disturb Lu Yanqing and Wen Nan's time together.
It is said that Lu Yanqing finally had a birthday celebration, so he asked Wenzhou City to stop bothering Wennan.
Wenzhou City agreed. Today is Lu Yanqing's birthday, and he can naturally pester his older sister again tomorrow.
Zhang Ruyu looked at the mess in front of her.
"Grandpa Wen, come quickly! It's time to wash the dishes!" Zhang Ruyu reached out and beckoned to Wen Jinzhong with a kind expression.
Wen Jinzhong snorted coldly.
"I won't do it! I washed my hands raw at the Jiangnan food stall all day!" Wen Jinzhong started to put on airs.
"Not going to wash?" Zhang Ruyu raised an eyebrow.
The two then had a friendly exchange.
The outside was filled with warm greetings.
Finally... the curtain fell with Wen Nan's exclamation, "It's too noisy!"
Zhang Ruyu and Wen Jinzhong took on the responsibility of washing the dishes.
On Lu Yanqing's birthday, Zhang Ruyu prepared a set of writing brush and inkstone for him, a traditional gift between men.
Wen Jinzhong had no money; even his father couldn't afford the rent.
Wenzhou City cautiously gave Lu Yanqing a promise.
He promised not to bother his older sister with telling him stories for seven days.
Lu Yanqing smiled; he was actually somewhat satisfied with the birthday gift from Wenzhou City…
Of course... Wen Nan wouldn't know if a man secretly gave a gift.
It was midnight.
Lu Yanqing returned from the study.
With the autumn imperial examinations fast approaching, Lu Yanqing felt even more pressed for time and dared not slack off.
Before, I was all alone, so it didn't matter what happened to me.
But all he wants now is for Wen Nan to not have to work so hard.
The candlelight was burning as always. Lu Yanqing pushed open the door, but Wen Nan was not in the room.
Lu Yanqing came out carrying a lantern.
"I'm here!" Wen Nan waved to Lu Yanqing from the rooftop.
Wen Nan jumped off the roof.
Lu Yanqing looked nervous, afraid that Wen Nan would fall, even though he knew that Wen Nan was very strong.
Under the moonlight, the woman's face was serene, and her eyes shone like stars in the night sky.
"May my husband have a peaceful and healthy birthday, and may he grow another year older."
"Thank you." Lu Yanqing said with a smile in his eyes.
Wen Nan then handed Lu Yanqing a bottle of fine wine.
"This is peach blossom wine that I brewed myself. My husband, you may have a small cup."
Lu Yanqing reached out and took it.
He knew that this was the birthday gift that Wen Nan had prepared for him personally.
In the courtyard, Lu Yanqing placed the lantern he was holding on the table.
Wen Nan quickly fetched a small wine glass and poured one for Lu Yanqing.
Let Lu Yanqing have a taste.
Under the expectant gaze of Wennan.
Lu Yanqing picked up the wine glass in front of him with his slender hand and took a small sip.
The alcohol content of wine brewed in Wennan is not high.
Lu Yanqing rarely drinks alcohol, and since it was made by Wen Nan himself, Lu Yanqing naturally wouldn't let anyone else taste it.
The nineteen-year-old boy took a small sip of the wine in front of him, as if holding a precious treasure.
Under Wen Nan's expectant gaze.
Lu Yanqing said, "It's delicious."
There are only two words.
Wen Nan frowned.
"Anything else?"
"It's sweet." The boy smacked his lips carefully. There seemed to be a slightly sweet aftertaste.
"I'd like to try it too," Wen Nan said with a smile in her eyes.
“You can’t drink.” Lu Yanqing hadn’t forgotten how poor Wen Nan’s alcohol tolerance was. She would immediately become dizzy as soon as she touched alcohol.
He had seen it all.
The boy finished speaking.
The hibiscus fragrance emanating from the woman suddenly became heavy, immersing Lu Yanqing completely in its scent, leaving him seemingly with nowhere to retreat and nowhere to escape.
