Meng Qingluan looked up and noticed that another red mark had appeared on Shen Yan's face.
As she raised her hand to touch it, Meng Qingluan's eyes reddened again.
Did they hit you?
A hint of unease flashed across Shen Yan's eyes. Seeing Meng Qingluan's eyes redden, he quickly grasped her hand.
"It doesn't hurt, don't cry, okay?"
Meng Qingluan: "You're lying, they're all famous now."
Shen Yan felt a bit of a headache. Her original intention was to ask her to feel sorry for her.
Seeing Meng Qingluan's red eyes, he felt another wave of regret.
Chen Yan explained in a pleasant voice.
"It really doesn't hurt. It just looks scary. Don't cry. In a little while, the wind will blow and you'll look like a little kitten."
Meng Qingluan wiped away her tears.
"Feel sorry…"
Chen Yan cupped Meng Qingluan's face in his hands and spoke earnestly.
"I am the one who should apologize; I went too far with my words yesterday."
Meng Qingluan was taken aback.
He hadn't expected Shen Yan to apologize to him, since Shen Yan had never admitted his mistakes in the original story.
Even though she later had many misunderstandings and conflicts with Li Zhanjue.
Shen Yan had his pride and never bowed his head once.
Meng Qingluan came to her senses and did not refute.
"It's good that you know that. You're not allowed to yell at me anymore, understand?"
Chen Yan nodded earnestly.
"You're not allowed to say things like 'I can't interfere' in your life anymore. I'm only interfering because I care about you. Look at all those people on the street, do you think I'm meddling in other people's business?"
Shen Yan nodded, sincerely admitting his mistake.
"It was my fault. I was too proud to admit it and suffered for it." Shen Yan leaned down and looked at Meng Qingluan with flirtatious eyes.
"Luanluan, please forgive me."
Meng Qingluan felt a tingling sensation in her tailbone from his gaze, especially the drawn-out tone of his last sentence.
She's truly a vixen who bewitches people's hearts.
Meng Qingluan nodded reluctantly.
"There's one more thing."
Chen Yan pricked up his ears to listen attentively. "Go on," he said.
"I'm hungry, you have to treat me to noodles!"
Chen Yan smiled and replied, "Okay."
Meng Qingluan added, "I want it spicy with meat, and I also want two eggs!"
Shen Yan didn't refuse: "Whatever you say."
Finally, the two went to the noodle shop they had eaten at before. Unlike last time, this time there were only the two of them in the noodle shop.
It was late at night, and only this shop was still open.
Just like last time, Meng Qingluan ordered a bowl of beef noodles, with extra chili and two eggs.
Shen Yan ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles.
The noodles were served quickly, and the two sat facing each other.
The two were exhausted after a long night, and because they were both holding their anger in, they hadn't eaten properly for a whole day and night.
As soon as the noodles were served, the two picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Meng Qingluan took a couple of bites, then suddenly looked up and secretly glanced at Chen Yan.
After hesitating for a moment, he brought up the matter from last night again.
"Chen Yan, go take the exam at the academy. I believe you can do it."
After finishing speaking, Meng Qingluan added seriously.
"Don't think I'm trying to feel superior to you, or that I'm just playing with you for my own amusement again. I'm serious this time. We're married now, and I won't do what I did before."
"I don't think of myself as some kind of savior, I just... feel sorry for you."
Shen Yan paused in his chopsticks, but quickly regained his composure, only slowing down his eating pace.
Meng Qingluan did not notice his subtle movements and continued speaking earnestly.
"It doesn't matter if we don't pass the exam. We are both able-bodied and can make a good living even without academic success."
"But you have a lot of talent, you can't just keep it to yourself, can you?"
Shen Yan looked up at her and answered.
“Okay, I’ll take the exam.” Shen Yan agreed, looking at Meng Qingluan and saying earnestly, word by word, “I don’t need you to support me. I will pass the exam and let you enjoy wealth and honor.”
When is a man most handsome?
He's most handsome when he says he'll buy you a house, a car, and a plane.
Undeniably, Shen Yan looked incredibly cool in Meng Qingluan's eyes when he said those words!
Moved, Meng Qingluan picked up her chopsticks and stuffed a slice of beef into her mouth.
Chew, chew, chew.
Meng Qingluan's face suddenly flushed red, her features contorted, and then she covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing her pained expression, Shen Yan nervously spoke up.
"What's wrong?"
Meng Qingluan pointed to the noodles in the bowl, speechless.
"Did you get burned?"
Meng Qingluan shook her head and uttered a single word, "Spicy..."
Shen Yan picked up his bowl and handed it to Meng Qingluan, "This is clear soup noodles..."
Before he could finish speaking, Meng Qingluan took the bowl, picked up the spoon inside, and scooped up a few mouthfuls of soup, putting them in her mouth.
After taking several gulps, Meng Qingluan finally felt that the chili in her mouth had been diluted considerably.
It really is all-natural chili pepper; it's incredibly spicy.
Shen Yan remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on Meng Qingluan's lips.
Perhaps because of the spiciness, the girl's lips were rosy and slightly parted, revealing a few white teeth.
He just used the spoon…
"It's so spicy! I'm so sorry, Shen Yan, this bowl of noodles..."
Shen Yan snapped out of her daze and took Meng Qingluan's bowl of noodles.
I'll eat from your bowl.
Meng Qingluan didn't dare to challenge such spicy noodles, so she agreed to the decision.
…
By the time the two returned home, it was completely dark.
The two of them returned almost entirely in the dark.
Meng Qingluan immediately pounced on the bed, picked up a wooden box, and mysteriously hid it behind her back.
When Shen Yan finished washing up and entered the room, she saw a malicious smile on her face.
Chen Yan wiped his hair, somewhat puzzled.
Meng Qingluan walked up to him and gave him a command.
"Close your eyes first, and I'll open them when I count to three."
Shen Yan watched her with great interest.
"what are you up to?"
Meng Qingluan said haughtily, "Don't worry about that, just close your eyes."
Shen Yan obediently closed his eyes.
Meng Qingluan solemnly raised her hand and waved it in front of Shen Yan's eyes.
Seeing that he had really closed his eyes, I felt relieved and started counting.
"3——"
"2——"
"1——"
"Hey, why are you opening your eyes? You're being a cheater."
Shen Yan suddenly opened his eyes, immediately provoking Meng Qingluan to cry out in displeasure.
Shen Yan opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was Meng Qingluan's hand.
Shen Yan retorted shamelessly, "You said three numbers, and I only opened my eyes because you told me to, didn't I?"
"Never mind, I won't argue with you."
Her fingers were smooth and beautiful, and she was mysteriously clenching her fist, as if she were holding something inside.
The next second, the girl's fair knuckles opened, and a familiar jade pendant appeared before his eyes.
The jade pendant, white and lustrous, lay in Meng Qingluan's rosy palm.
One white and one red, intertwined.
"you……"
Chen Yan couldn't help but speak out.
His voice trembled slightly, without him even realizing it.
Meng Qingluan's eyes sparkled. "See? I didn't break my promise, did I?"
"I said I would redeem it for you, and I'm not one to go back on my word. Hurry up and take it," Meng Qingluan urged.
