Yan Jin noticed Yu Shu’s gaze and quickly changed the subject, putting on a solemn and serious appearance. “Although the second person is very good-looking, I, Yan Jin, am not the type to have my feet in two boats. I won’t feed love potion to two people at the same time.”
Yu Shu secretly glanced at Yan Jin and muttered, “Who knows if what you’re saying is true or false.”
“I only looked at that second person once.” Yan Jin purposely raised her voice, “Because there’s only one boy named Yu Shu in my heart.”
Yu Shu raised an eyebrow, his back even straighter than before, like a cute little cat waiting to be coaxed.
“But since that Yu Shu doesn’t trust me, there’s nothing I can do.” Yan Jin sighed with regret, “A forced melon isn’t sweet.”
Yu Shu’s expression, which had eased a little, turned slightly irate.
When did he not trust Yan Jin? When did he become a forced melon?
Yan Jin’s words took a turn. “Although there’s only Yu Shu in my heart, fortunately the second person is better-looking than Yu Shu.”
Yu Shu gave Yan Jin a glare and snorted, “How could there possibly be someone better-looking than me!”
Yan Jin almost broke character from being amused by Yu Shu’s blunt truth, but still tried hard to hold back her laughter. She even raised her volume higher, as if afraid Yu Shu wasn’t angry enough. “More gentle than Yu Shu, more considerate than Yu Shu, and more obedient than Yu Shu, not even talking back.”
Even though Yu Shu knew Yan Jin didn’t have such thoughts, before her words even finished, Yu Shu couldn’t help but roll his eyes several times. “Then you should go to him.”
He would definitely have to have a good talk with Yan Jin later. How could matters of the heart be joked about?
Joke after joke, even feelings get teased away.
“What, you’re not convinced?” Yan Jin’s tone took on a few hints of eagerness. “He’s so good-looking. I saw a box engraved with his name on the street and even bought it specially.”
Seeing Yan Jin really take out a small box from her bosom, Yu Shu got even more angry. “Just for a name, you specially bought the box? Do you have too much money to spend?”
Even if it was a prop Yan Jin bought specially to tease him, it was unacceptable!
Yan Jin opened the box engraved with a name and praised, “Good-looking, handsome!”
Yu Shu started grinding his back teeth, getting angrier the more he heard.
Just a name, and she could tell if it was good-looking or not? Handsome or not?
What kind of look was that in Yan Jin’s eyes!
Yu Shu was already planning in his heart to go out and buy twenty sticks of candied hawthorns later, and make Yan Jin eat them all in one go.
See if she knew her mistake and dared to make this kind of joke again.
“Do you want to see?” With that, Yan Jin didn’t even wait for Yu Shu’s answer before throwing the box to him. “Here!”
Although Yu Shu was angry, he still caught the box Yan Jin threw over, opening it with puffed cheeks, still thinking in his heart: I’d like to see how good-looking and handsome this man’s name can be.
Who knew that upon opening the box, Yu Shu saw two familiar characters: Yu Shu.
[You win, Yan Jin! So this is how engraved gifts can be played.] [I kept guessing how Yan Jin was going to tease Yu Shu this time. As a result, oh ho, not bad, Yan Jin!] [To be honest, I also think Yu Shu is more gentle, considerate and obedient than Yu Shu.]When the name in the box matched, the anger in Yu Shu’s eyes was instantly doused with a basin of ice water, disappearing without a trace, his heart once again blooming with fresh flowers.
Yu Shu closed the box and looked at Yan Jin with a pout.
Seeing that Yu Shu had discovered the trick in the box, Yan Jin smiled and walked to Yu Shu in a few strides, deliberately asking, “How is it? Yu Shu is better-looking and much more handsome than Yu Shu, right?”
Yu Shu glared at Yan Jin. “You’re so annoying.”
Yan Jin asked with a grin, “So now, can I feed love potion to Yu Shu?”
Yu Shu snorted, but the corners of his lips curved up high. “Annoying, I don’t want to talk to you.”
Yan Jin poked the dimple exposed on Yu Shu’s face. “Really don’t want to talk to me?”
“Yan Xiao Xiao, you’re so annoying. Go set the table quickly.” Yu Shu pinched Yan Jin’s face. “We’re going to eat.”
With that, Yu Shu pretended to hastily carry the dishes to the dining room.
Yan Jin watched Yu Shu’s fleeing figure and shook her head with amusement in her heart: Yu Shu is no good, he can’t handle this.
Should she play something special with Yu Shu after the exams?
A cat spirit who just descended the mountain, in order to repay the life-saving grace, offered her primal yang to her unconscious benefactor?
Having no experience, the cat spirit’s hands trembled as she untied her clothes, her earlobes red enough to drip blood, her entire body shrouded in a layer of light pink by shyness.
Not bad, let’s decide on this.
Let Yu Shu take some initiative, maybe he’ll be a bit bolder and thicker-skinned.
After dinner, Yu Shu urged Yan Jin to rest. “You still have exams tomorrow, go to sleep first.”
Yan Jin: “It’s not very good for the body to sleep right after eating.”
“Then you go watch,” Yu Shu had already blurted out the words, but forcibly swallowed back that character, “Then you just watch me, a feast for the eyes.”
Even though Yu Shu had swallowed back that character, Yan Jin still understood what he originally wanted to say.
“Yu Shu.” Yan Jin sighed with amusement, “Don’t be too nervous, I think I did quite well.”
The first round of the county exams was relatively simple, she knew how to do all the questions, and was not careless at all when writing. If nothing unexpected happened, she should be able to get them all right.
Yan Jin saying this made Yu Shu even more uneasy instead.
Thinking that Yan Jin might be saying this on purpose for fear of receiving the punishment mentioned by the system, Yu Shu comforted her, “It’s alright, Yan Jin. If the system really hands out a punishment, I’ll accompany you to the market then.”
Yan Jin emphasized again, “I think I did quite well.”
Yu Shu gave Yan Jin a worried look.
Seemed like this exam was very difficult, Yan Jin was starting to talk nonsense.
Yan Jin also saw Yu Shu’s distrust in her. Without the exam results out, no matter what she said it would be in vain.
So Yan Jin simply went back to her room to read, waiting for the results to come out. Yu Shu would then know that he had underestimated her.
After finishing the county exams and returning home, the first thing Yan Jin did was go to her room to take a look at her little cactus.
Great, another pot of cactus that she had killed. She had to hold another funeral.
To show respect for this cactus that had transmigrated from the modern era to An Kingdom, walking the most paths in history, Yan Jin and Yu Shu held a simple yet solemn “funeral” for it.
When Yu Shu was carving a wooden plaque for the cactus, he asked Yan Jin, “What’s its name?”
Yan Jin sighed, “Yan Twenty-eight.”
Yu Shu: …So there were twenty-seven pots of cactus before this that Yan Jin had killed.
To be honest, I also think Yu Shu is cuter than Yu Shu hahaha
Yu Shu will get pregnant in the next chapter
