”Faced with a face like yours, who would have the heart to say half a harsh word to make you unhappy?”
”…Although you’re praising me, I don’t feel happy at all.” Yu Shu puffed out his cheeks. “I have many good points too. You can’t just see my face.”
Yu Shu became more and more unhappy as he spoke, “I don’t want my face to get injured in the future, get wrinkles when I’m old, and then you think I’m not good-looking anymore, ignore me, or even physically abuse me and give me the cold shoulder.”
”…Although I am a face-con, I’m not that exaggerated.” Yan Jin was a bit helpless. “Besides, I was just coaxing you just now.”
”In addition to your good looks, your personality is also very cute,” Yan Jin said. “The first time I saw you, I thought you were cute.”
Especially in social situations when Yu Shu shielded her, and when haggling with the toothman, Yu Shu’s glib tongue and demeanor were extremely charming.
”If one day I really look at others with that kind of gaze, the one I’ll be looking at will be others, not you.”
Yan Jin said, “Because you’re different from everyone else. You’re the one and only Yu Shu in this world, an irreplaceable existence.”
[Uh… Yan Jin really doesn’t like Yu Shu? Why do I feel like he’s been flirting with Yu Shu?]
[The mutual attraction between the Jinshu CP is getting more and more obvious.]
Every word Yan Jin said was sincere, touching Yu Shu’s heart and giving him a great sense of being recognized. The corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.
Although this guy could be infuriating at times, when he praised someone, he was very sincere, making one feel quite embarrassed.
Yan Jin couldn’t help but sigh to the system: Yu Shu is really easy to coax.
The pleased Yu Shu smiled and continued the earlier topic, “In the future, if your child’s father doesn’t protect the child, then your child will be miserable.”
Yan Jin asked Yu Shu in return, “Why interfere?”
Yu Shu: “It’s his child, if he doesn’t take care of it, who will?”
”No need to interfere,” Yan Jin said leisurely. “Let go of the helping mentality and respect others’ fates.”
”You really can’t say that to the child’s father in the future,” Yu Shu clicked his tongue. “Otherwise, I’m afraid he’ll be angered to death by you.”
”To be honest, I think your future child is really quite pitiful,” Yu Shu sighed. “With such an intellectually outstanding mother in front, wanting to gain your recognition might be harder than ascending to the heavens.”
”I actually think your child is the most pitiful,” Yan Jin said slowly. “Because no child would like to be called Rou Song (Meat Floss).”
Yu Shu retorted, “You don’t understand how cute the name Rou Song is.”
”I indeed don’t understand how cute the name Rou Song is, and I don’t need to understand it either,” Yan Jin said with unusual self-righteousness. “It’s not my child anyway, so what’s the point of me understanding so much?”
”You have a point,” Yu Shu pondered for a moment. “Anyway, it’s not my child being held to high standards by the mother in the future, so what am I worrying so much for.”
After leaving Li Min’s house, the two visited a few more neighbors before heading back home.
At this time, the sun was already high in the sky, and the households that cooked early had already started preparing meals.
Yan Jin could even smell the faint aroma of food.
Seeing that they were almost home, Yan Jin asked Yu Shu, “Didn’t you make a friend named Ah De? Why didn’t you go visit him this time?”
Yan Jin still remembered the young man who had rushed over to see if they needed help when they first moved into their new home.
”We are going to his place now,” Yu Shu said. “Ah De said his wife-master was studying in the morning and only comes out to take a break around mealtime.”
Xu Junde’s wife-master, Yu Erlan, was a young woman with fair skin and a gentle temperament.
After greeting them, Yu Erlan silently made tea, looking like a quiet and reserved person.
”Sorry for the embarrassment. My wife-master here is great in every way, just shy and doesn’t like to talk,” Xu Junde smiled and served them tea snacks. “Give her a book, and she can read from morning to night quietly.”
Yu Erlan didn’t argue, but there were no signs of displeasure on her face. Her gaze towards Xu Junde was very tender.
[Oh my, I’m actually being fed dog food from the female-dominant country.]
[Xu Junde looks so cheerful, and his wife-master seems very graceful. They really make a good match.]
After a few cups of tea, Yan Jin clearly felt that Yu Erlan was getting restless.
Although Yan Jin was a bit curious, she didn’t ask.
Xu Junde understood his wife-master well. “My wife-master is preparing to take the provincial exam this year. With less than a few months left until the exam, she’s anxious and goes to study whenever she has time.”
