Yan Jin and Yu Shu looked at each other and felt the matter was settled.

“Of course you’re our favorite child. We were just testing you earlier,” Yu Shu squatted down and patted Guo Bao Rou’s head. “Since you promise you won’t get your clothes and hair dirty, we’ll believe you this time.”

Seeing Yu Shu’s attitude soften, Guo Bao Rou quickly nodded. “I will!”

Yan Jin said faintly from the side, “If you come back later all dirty, then there won’t be a share of roast lamb for you tonight.”

Guo Bao Rou pouted. “…I won’t get dirty.”

When Guo Bao Rou finally got permission from the two of them to go play with Guo Guo, Yan Jin turned her head and asked Yu Shu, “Did we bully a child just now?”

“At most, we intimidated her,” After saying that, Yu Shu felt a bit sour. “You’ve teased me so many times, but I haven’t seen you feel like you were bullying me. You only met her a few days ago, but you keep worrying about whether you’re bullying her.”

“Don’t be jealous over everything,” Yan Jin gave Yu Shu a strange look. “Besides, didn’t you say before that adults shouldn’t fight with children? How come this time you’re the one arguing?”

Yu Shu’s face flushed at Yan Jin’s blunt words. “Yan Xiaoxiao!”

Yan Jin was very calm. “What?”

Yan Jin’s composed attitude was like a bucket of cold water, making Yu Shu calm down too. “…Nothing.”

Although he said that, Yu Shu muttered in his heart: Yan Jin is really a blockhead!

But… Yu Shu secretly laughed.

Even as a blockhead, Yan Jin is very cute.

Originally, Yu Shu planned to take the initiative tonight and try making a whole roast lamb. But Yan Jin was still apprehensive about Yu Shu’s “fish fillet congee” and quickly dissuaded him.

“Yan Xiaoxiao, do you look down on me?” Yu Shu became suspicious when he saw Yan Jin trying to stop him in every way. “Otherwise, why won’t you let me in the kitchen?”

Yan Jin lied with her eyes open, “I don’t look down on you. I’m just worried you’ll get burned.”

“You really are… really…” Yu Shu, who was originally standing on solid ground, suddenly lost steam. He hurriedly took a rag and wiped the table a few times to hide his embarrassment before stammering, “I’m already twenty years old. I’m an adult man. You don’t need to always treat me like I’m made of glass.”

“But getting burned will leave scars,” Yan Jin said seriously. “You can’t even stand gaining weight. Can you bear scars on your skin?”

“If I get scars and become ugly, will you hate me?” Yu Shu looked at Yan Jin, his eyes revealing a hopeful look that even he wasn’t aware of. “Will you still be as good to me as you are now?”

[Looking at the two young people, I feel like I’m back to the scene of my first date with my lover when I was eighteen years old.] [If they hadn’t transmigrated, these two kids might have been able to give out wedding candies by the end of the year.]

…

[I was originally going to refute the comment above, but thinking about the tone of the previous comment and realizing that my grandma and others are also following the live broadcast, I shut my mouth. Don’t want to retort the elders and make things awkward.] [To be honest, my grandma and her few sisters even had a fight over the question of who the future child of Yan Jin and Yu Shu would look more like.] [I admire you all. I, a heartless drug-taking chicken, still can’t keep up with the speed of the grandmas.]

No matter how much of a blockhead Yan Jin is, with him hinting so obviously, she should have noticed his intentions a bit, right?

Normal friends, how would they change their attitude because the other person became ugly? Only… more than friends would care about whether the other person is ugly or beautiful.

Yan Jin suspiciously glanced at Yu Shu and put the back of her hand on Yu Shu’s forehead, muttering to herself, “No fever. How come you’re talking nonsense?”

“Before, didn’t you always say I bullied you? How come now you think I treat you well?” Yan Jin was very puzzled. “Yuan Yuan, do you want to get your story straight?”

Yu Shu sighed in his heart, “Forget it if you don’t understand.”

Originally, Yu Shu was still guessing whether he had developed different feelings for Yan Jin. But seeing that Yan Jin didn’t understand his hint, the excitement and nervousness in his heart were swept away.

He didn’t like Yan Jin at all.

He was just blurring the line between friendship and love.

Otherwise, if he fell in love with someone who always made him angry, he would be too much of a masochist.

Yu Shu kept consoling himself in his heart.

“Before, I said your face was your biggest advantage. Now I have to change my words.” Although Yan Jin didn’t know why Yu Shu suddenly became listless, she thought that for Yu Shu, who cared so much about his image, to ask her this question, he must hold her in high regard in his heart.

So Yan Jin didn’t ignore Yu Shu’s question. Instead, she said seriously in Yu Shu’s suddenly brightening eyes, “Because I discovered that your personality is your biggest advantage.”

“Before I met you, I thought boys were only divided into two types: the obedient and well-behaved ones, and the sensitive and troublesome ones,” Yan Jin said softly. “I never knew there were boys like you in this world who are lively, cute, easy to coax, vibrant, lovable, and likable.”

Hearing Yan Jin praise him twice in a row, the corners of Yu Shu’s mouth couldn’t help but lift up high. But on the surface, he still said with restraint, “How can you praise a grown man as cute? You should praise me as mature, steady, and responsible.”

“But you are cute.” Yan Jin was amused by Yu Shu’s proud appearance like a little rooster. “In other people’s hearts, praising a man as mature, steady, and responsible is the highest compliment. Then in my heart, praising a man as cute is the highest compliment.”

“And I think Yuan Yuan, you are much better than those mature, steady, and responsible men.”

[They all think mature men are good. Only I think you’re better than them. Wuwuwu, Yu Shu liking Yan Jin is really not surprising at all.] [Although Yan Jin can be very annoying sometimes, when she gets serious, she really makes people’s hearts go crazy!]

Seeing Yu Shu staring at her and smiling foolishly, Yan Jin hesitantly asked, “…Yuan Yuan, why do you keep looking at me and smiling?”

“Because I discovered that you’re also very cute.” Yu Shu’s smile revealed his eye bags and dimples. “Yan Jin, you’re really very cute.”

So cute.

The Yan Jin who seriously complimented him was really so cute.

Yu Shu felt that he was going to blur the line between friendship and love again.

In the game I play, the male consorts are all types I like.

Although the emperor’s husband doesn’t know how to do anything, he is good-looking, gentle, and proper;

The emperor’s noble consort is lively and clingy. His standing portrait even has cat ears. Every time I see him, he is very happy. “Your Majesty finally came. This servant missed Your Majesty to death.”

There was originally also a seductive fox spirit, but unfortunately, he passed away.

There is also a foreign beauty, but he is too old, in his forties. Sigh, even the youngest noble consort is already twenty-six years old. I wanted to bring in new people, but several cities are restless and need to be managed first. If it weren’t for being unable to part with my emperor’s husband and noble consort, I would have started the game over long ago.
