Chapter 27

Lu Xuan hissed, his deep eyes fixed on Shen Wu, “Are you sure you want to put it there?”

Shen Wu pressed on the feeling, feeling something was wrong, like she was pressing on a hot potato. She quickly let go, but felt that she couldn’t put it anywhere, “Quickly, put me down.”

Lu Xuan lowered his head, his lips imprinted on hers. The sweet smell of milk candy hadn’t faded, it was even sweeter than the candy, but it wasn’t unpleasant.

Once.

Twice.

Again.

Shen Wu felt that the milk candy taste had been eaten away by him, her mouth was sour, like a dehydrating, dying fish, she breathed heavily.

If someone had told her before that kissing would feel suffocating, Shen Wu would have thought they were lying.

But now, she thought it wasn’t impossible.

The culprit pinched her face, “The doctor said you’re not feeling well, I’ll spare you today.”

The man’s voice was low and hoarse. Shen Wu lowered her head and glanced at him, then quickly looked away, lying down and pretending to be dead.

Lu Xuan chuckled.

Shen Wu changed the subject, “Why do I feel like Mother’s attitude towards Dragon Zhi Qing is better than towards her own family? Do you know why?”

Lu Xuan twirled her long hair with his fingers, thinking for a moment.

It seemed like he was thinking about this for the first time, his brows furrowed slightly, “As far as I know, there’s no reason. But since she came to the countryside two years ago, my mother has been quite good to her. And the fifth brother, he fell for her at first sight…”

He didn’t pay much attention to this issue before, but Lu Xuan thought about it carefully and gradually felt something was wrong.

“With my mother’s stingy nature, she didn’t pay grain for two years, and she didn’t think about it. It’s not like her.”

If there was no reason, it was a plot device in a novel?

Shen Wu remained silent. Yes, the heroine in this book was the author’s own mother, she was just a vicious antagonist, no, she was just a bigger weirdo than the vicious antagonist.

Since she’s already written as a weirdo, then she’ll stick to the weirdo persona! No one can bully her.

Early in the morning, Shen Wu met up with Xu Yin in the kitchen.

After telling Xu Yin what she asked Lu Xuan last night, Shen Wu sighed, “Don’t you feel like Long Yu Jiao is a bit familiar?”

Xu Yin yawned and shook her head, when she opened her eyes, she suddenly said, “I thought of something.”

Shen Wu’s hand waving the spatula stopped for a moment, she stared at Xu Yin.

“Do you remember, when we were learning flower arranging, there was a classmate who spilled a cup of milk tea on you?”

Shen Wu had an impression of this incident. The iced milk tea, a whole cup suddenly poured down from her neck, she was completely unprepared, and it numbed her in an instant.

“I remember, I didn’t have any clothes to change, you gave me yours.” That was also the beginning of their familiarity.

Xu Yin bought a set of designer clothes at the mall before class and gave them all to her.

Shen Wu gritted her teeth and bought clothes of the same brand to return to her, but Xu Yin refused and instead asked her to treat her to dinner. They became familiar with each other gradually.

“Why did you bring this up.”

Xu Yin frowned and recalled, “Do you remember what that person who spilled milk tea on you was called?”

Not everyone in the flower arranging class knew each other, after all, they hadn’t been learning for long, and some people didn’t come to class regularly. Shen Wu frowned and recalled, but she didn’t have an image of that person in her mind.

But there was a voice.

“Yu Jiao, what happened?”

There was another timid voice, “I accidentally spilled milk tea on someone, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”

Shen Wu was numb with cold, waiting to change clothes, but she didn’t see what she looked like because she was looking down.

She looked at Xu Yin with some confusion, “Is it her?”

Xu Yin shook her head slightly, “It’s been too long, I can’t be completely sure, but she seems a bit similar to Long Yu Jiao.”

Xu Yin’s personality was not the kind to care much about others. She only cared about what she cared about, such as Shen Wu, who was beautiful, she would take a few extra glances out of appreciation.

“If it’s her, there’s no reason for her to do that, even if she spilled milk tea on you, why would she write us both so poorly?” Xu Yin was puzzled.

“Although we can’t be sure if it’s her, some people just do things without a reason.”

Not finding a reason, Xu Yin was inclined to take things as they came, “Forget it, let’s go to the back mountain when we have time today.”

They didn’t have to work in the fields, so they had time to go out.

After breakfast, everyone went to work.

Lu Xuan didn’t know where he found a few books, and he gave them to Shen Wu.

Shen Wu flipped through the books for a while. She sat quietly and read. The books in this era were more practical, teaching academics was teaching academics, teaching skills was teaching skills, there were no useless things like teaching XX meaning.

When she got tired of reading, she put the book on her head and closed her eyes to rest for a while.

Lu Lao Tai mumbled, “I think you just don’t understand, how can you compare to Yu Jiao.”

Her personality isn’t as good as Yu Jiao’s either.

Lu Lao Tai was in the village, and the people in the village all spoke loudly, especially someone like Lu Lao Tai, who was old and loved to argue, her voice was even louder.

Even though she was mumbling, Shen Wu could hear it clearly.

She took the book off her head, squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the old lady, “Mother, if I don’t pass the exam, I’ll eat Third brother for a lifetime, and we’ll all have to eat from the public.”

“Maybe, the twenty catties of grain that Dragon Yu Jiao pays to the public every month will end up in my belly, thinking about it this way, I feel a bit sorry.”

Lu Lao Tai…

She was deliberately trying to annoy her.

“Mother, it’s better if you bless me to pass the exam.” Saying that, Shen Wu handed her a candy, “Do you want some?”

“Eating candy will make you feel better.”

Lu Lao Tai was so angry she didn’t want to eat, but she didn’t want to waste it. This was bought by her son, and it was her son’s money, why shouldn’t she eat it!

She angrily took it from Shen Wu’s hand.

Shen Wu put the book away and winked at Xu Yin.

“I’m tired of reading, I’m going out for a walk.”

Lu Lao Tai frowned, she couldn’t bear to see her daughter-in-law relaxing, “Don’t delay cooking!”

Shen Wu, “Okay!”

The people in the village relied on work points to live and get their grain, so most of them went to work. There were few people like Shen Wu, and she didn’t see anyone on the road.

Shen Wu had discussed with Xu Yin about going to the mountain in the morning. As soon as she got to the mountain, she didn’t go inside, she just waited at the edge.

Fortunately, Xu Yin didn’t make her wait long.

As soon as she got to the mountain, she was carrying a bow and arrow.

Shen Wu glanced at it, it was new.

Xu Yin raised her head and pretended to be nonchalant, “Lu Ye made it for me, it’s a bit rough.”

“Stop pretending, I know you’re happy.” Shen Wu leaned forward and said with a mischievous smile.

Xu Yin punched her, but she also smiled proudly, “Although it’s not as good as the one I used before, it’s still barely usable.”

With Xu Yin around, Shen Wu wasn’t afraid to go into the mountains. She picked some fruits that looked edible, while Xu Yin searched for creatures to shoot with her bow and arrow in the mountains.

But they didn’t know if it was bad luck, or because of the original book’s setting, or because there were many people coming to the mountain, the valuable and edible things had all been caught. They searched for a long time, but only found a sparrow the size of a palm, with a large bone structure and little meat, tasteless, so they let it go.

Just when they were feeling hopeless, Shen Wu suddenly saw a sneaky figure. She pulled Xu Yin’s clothes, and while she was speaking, she covered her mouth, motioning for Xu Yin to look to the left front…
