In the middle of the night, Wen Nan lay on the inside of the bed, covered with a quilt, her body temperature gradually rising.
Lu Yanqing lay down beside him, and both of them remained silent.
Wen Nan suddenly turned over, and the woman's eyes, like a sky full of stars, shone brightly in the night sky. "Tomorrow, my husband, do you have an exam?"
Wen Nan didn't pay much attention at first, but Zhang Ruyu actually came in person for that exam, so Wen Nan gradually realized something.
But Lu Yanqing didn't say anything.
If Lu Yanqing won't say... then she'll just have to ask him.
Lu Yanqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his hand under the blanket tightened slightly.
He hadn't planned to say anything. But now that Wen Nan had asked... she had never cared about her own affairs before, so Lu Yanqing mostly kept quiet.
Before Lu Yanqing could speak, a chill suddenly emanated from the blanket, and Lu Yanqing's icy hand was grasped.
Wen Nan's hands were warm, soft, and boneless.
In the night sky, Lu Yanqing's fingertips trembled slightly, and his earlobes turned completely red, all of which were hidden by the dark night sky.
That way, Lu Yanqing wouldn't be exposed for what he truly was.
"Are you nervous?" Wen Nan turned his head slightly. The bed was divided in half for each person, with a dividing line in the middle. However, after Wen Nan fell asleep, the dividing line would be placed under Wen Nan.
The woman's voice was gentle, but Lu Yanqing's heart suddenly raced. He was somewhat confused and withdrew his hand... until it was far away from that gentle and boneless hand.
He finally suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. He seemed to breathe a sigh of relief...
But the temperature on her ears was something Lu Yanqing couldn't ignore.
Next August, the provincial examination, commonly known as the autumn examination, will be held.
For scholars... whether they pass the exam or not depends on this one test.
It's understandable that Lu Yanqing is nervous.
Wen Nan thought to himself.
But she had no idea that Lu Yanqing had never worried about the exam.
It was her sudden action that threw him into disarray.
Lu Yanqing coughed and said, "The autumn examination is next year; this year's exam is organized by the academy, specifically for those in key training programs. Is it considered a major exam...?"
Lu Yanqing steadied himself, his voice as clear as a mountain stream.
Lu Yanqing meant that he wasn't nervous.
But suddenly that hand landed on Lu Yanqing's wrist.
"Not nervous? Then why is your pulse beating so fast? Hmm?"
The woman turned her head slightly, wrapped herself in the blanket, and sat up slightly to look at Lu Yanqing.
Even in the darkness, Lu Yanqing could clearly see the expression on Wen Nan's face; the woman was frowning.
The fragrance of hibiscus emanating from Wen Nan permeated the surroundings, permeating every step, as if it were an inescapable lingering presence.
"Hmm? Are you feeling unwell?" Wen Nan frowned.
Lu Yanqing held her breath slightly, trying to resist, but she couldn't let Wen Nan see it at all.
A strange feeling welled up inside Lu Yanqing, and he couldn't quite suppress it. But he didn't know why... he had never felt this way before when facing Wen Nan.
It felt as if I was powerless and had no control over it.
"What makes you say that?" Lu Yanqing turned her head slightly and broke free from Wen Nan's hand on her wrist.
"Your pulse is getting faster and faster. Are you feeling unwell?" the woman muttered softly.
Suddenly, Lu Yanqing covered Wen Nan's head with a blanket.
Lu Yanqing's ears turned bright red, and suddenly, in the cold winter, he felt a bit of sweat on his vest.
"It's getting late... We have to get up early tomorrow, so you should go to sleep early." Lu Yanqing's voice carried a hint of urgency.
Wen Nan didn't move again.
It was late at night.
“Husband, I think you are doing very well in your studies, so there’s no need to worry so much.”
She still thought Lu Yanqing was nervous.
Lu Yanqing remained silent.
"..." Lu Yanqing's eyelashes trembled, and he had to repeat himself several times. He wasn't nervous.
