Shen Bei'an: Isn't that right?
But Gu Nanyan's behavior didn't seem like he was faking it.
Did he really make his wife feel wronged?
She let out a long sigh, raised her hand and ruffled Gu Nanyan's hair, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely kick him out next time. Don't be angry, don't be angry."
His wife can be quite terrifying when she's jealous.
Han Lianjun ate all that food by himself. He didn't have to do anything tonight, and he'd probably eat until he threw up.
"Mmm." Gu Nanyan remained lying on Shen Bei'an.
"Then why aren't you getting up?" Summer nights are inherently hot and humid, and even if their clothes are comfortable and cool, hugging for so long inevitably makes them feel a bit hot.
"An'an, are you disgusted with me?" Gu Nanyan's voice sounded somewhat hurt.
There were no other sounds around, only the faint breathing of Gu Nanyan close to his ear, which made his ear inexplicably itchy.
Shen Bei'an even felt her cheeks and earlobes burning. "No...no, don't talk nonsense, get up now."
"Then why won't you let me hug you for a while? We're husband and wife, not some kind of secret relationship. He looked at you for so long just now, and An'an didn't say anything, did she?"
Shen Bei'an was somewhat swayed by her twisted logic. Gu Nan'an hugged his waist even tighter, making it impossible for Shen Bei'an to break free. "Be gentle. Of course we are husband and wife. This is still a banquet. If you want to hug me, how about we go home later?"
Why does Gu Nanyan seem a bit off tonight?
"Gu Nanyan, have you been drinking?" This was the only one he could think of, otherwise, what was wrong with his wife tonight?
Gu Nanyan gently kissed Shen Bei'an's cheek, seemingly somewhat helpless, "An'an, I don't drink alcohol."
Oh right, I almost forgot, the one in my arms doesn't drink alcohol. Even that day at the Shen residence, when they mistakenly identified the water, she didn't drink a drop.
"Are you allergic to alcohol? Why don't you drink at all?" Shen Beian was very curious. This was the Empire, and the drinking culture of the Empire had existed since ancient times. Moreover, Gu Nanyan came from such a family. Unless it was for this reason, Shen Beian really couldn't think of any other reason that would make Gu Nanyan not drink at all.
Gu Nanyan gently shook his head, "I'm not allergic," he lowered his head and lowered his eyes, his voice light, then he looked up and reached out to touch the corner of Shen Bei'an's eye, his voice low and gentle, "I just gave it up in recent years."
She was like a law enforcement officer standing guard in the dark, upright and incorruptible, exposing all the filth and depravity without a doubt.
You've quit?
Then she couldn't have simply been slightly tipsy before.
So Gu Nanyan was also a heavy drinker?
"It's good that you don't drink." Shen Bei'an doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance and only likes to drink a little occasionally. He never likes to get drunk unless he can't help it sometimes.
"Alright, let's go back. I'm still a little hungry." Shen Beian rubbed his stomach. It seemed he really should go out more. Regardless of anything else, just the delicious food alone was worth the trip!
Gu Nanyan smiled and said, "Okay." The two dark, deep pools of water had regained their clear, loving expression and tenderness.
When they returned, they could still occasionally hear voices like "Fifth Master Shen" and "Han Lianjun".
Without noticing, he saw Han Lianjun sitting at that table eating...
He's really eating!
Even Gu Nanyan didn't have anyone watching him!
Why?
"An'an, have some cold lotus root slices." Gu Nanyan handed a small dish of cold dishes to Shen Bei'an. "If I'm not mistaken, An'an has been eating meat the whole time. It's evening, so it's better to eat less."
Shen Beian playfully stuck out her tongue at Gu Nanyan and puffed out her cheeks, "No way, me too! I used some vegetables too."
Gu Nanyan raised his hand and pinched Shen Bei'an's cheek. "Why do I feel like An'an's face has gotten a little rounder?" He leaned closer.
Both men and women are bound to feel some dissatisfaction when told they are fat.
Shen Beian frowned and grabbed Gu Nanyan's wrist. "How could that be! I've been working out really hard these days, okay!" As long as Gu Nanyan didn't go too far at night, they would get up at about the same time every morning and go to exercise.
Shen Beian has been following a reasonable exercise plan and has weighed himself, so he doesn't feel like he's gained weight anywhere.
So it must be Gu Nanyan talking nonsense.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault, it's my fault." Gu Nanyan apologized repeatedly. "So I personally fed Fifth Master these lotus root slices. I wonder if Fifth Master can forgive this humble person?" Despite being restrained by Shen Bei'an, Gu Nanyan's other hand holding the plate remained steady.
"Hmph," Shen Beian let go of Gu Nanyan's hand. Gu Nanyan picked up a slice of lotus root and placed it near Shen Beian's mouth. Shen Beian opened his mouth and ate it, his eyes lighting up.
The meat dishes were delicious, but I never expected the vegetarian dishes to be so tasty too!
"I'll take you to try the vegetarian buffet at Baiweiju when I have time in a few days," Gu Nanyan invited with a smile.
"A vegetarian buffet..." As a pure carnivore, Shen Bei'an had friends who had suggested taking him to try a vegetarian buffet before. The taste was so-so, but he would usually have to go for barbecue or something afterward anyway.
Gu Nanyan knew that Shen Bei'an liked to eat meat, so she picked up another slice of lotus root. "You can always trust Baiweiju's cooking skills. They also have explanations of Buddhist scriptures there. I've been there twice and I thought it was pretty good."
"Wouldn't that make you drowsy?" Shen Bei'an's biological father in the original world was a Buddhist, and he had accompanied him to temples several times. He didn't know how devout others were, but he had never believed in ghosts and gods.
He, Shen Beian, was a good socialist youth born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze.
Until we got here...
Well... but that doesn't mean he completely believed it.
Anyway, I used to be able to fall asleep by listening to that stuff. There was a time when I couldn't sleep, so I even had someone record a lullaby for me.
Gu Nanyan couldn't help but chuckle. "When An'an was little, she would fall asleep whenever she went to a temple. Come to think of it, we haven't been to a temple since we grew up. I wonder how she is now. I'll go listen to her story when I have time and see if An'an can still fall asleep easily now."
They recalled that when they were children, they would accompany their elders to temples and Taoist monasteries.
Although Gu Nanyan was a mischievous boy when he was young, he would not do anything excessive when he went to places like Taoist temples or Buddhist monasteries.
On the contrary, Shen Beian always falls asleep whenever he goes there.
Shen Bei'an raised an eyebrow. He always slept at temples and Taoist monasteries... just like him.
The path in my heart is becoming clearer and clearer; it seems I'm about to see the exit and reap the fruit I've been longing for.
"We can forget about Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries for now, but we can arrange a vegetarian buffet if we have time." There aren't many temples or Taoist monasteries in the capital, or rather, there are very few temples and Taoist monasteries in the empire now.
Aside from some scenic spots, they can be found deep in the mountains and forests, but getting there is always quite troublesome.
"Okay," Gu Nanyan readily agreed.
