Chapter 028

　　Yan Jin looked at Yu Shu in bewilderment, “Why are you jealous of her? What’s there to be jealous about?”

　　Yu Shu pursed his lips, continued tapping the table, and ignored Yan Jin.

　　”Friends should be honest with each other and not pretend to be someone they’re not,” Yan Jin said, puzzled. “But I don’t pretend to be someone else in front of you. Doesn’t that prove that you’re a more important friend to me than Ah Yun?”

　　The corners of Yu Shu’s mouth curled up involuntarily, “Are you sure it’s not because I’m easier to bully than your friend?”

　　”That’s also a reason,” Yan Jin immediately held Yu Shu’s hand to soothe him before he glared and got angry. “But that’s also because I treat you as a true friend, so I’m not as polite as I am to outsiders.”

　　Coaxed, Yu Shu brought up the previous topic, “So you and Zhou Nongyun really just talked in the bathhouse for a whole afternoon?”

　　”I explained to her many times, but she just wouldn’t listen,” Yan Jin sighed. “In Ah Yun’s mind, I’m definitely more of a white lotus than a white lotus now.”

　　Yu Shu suddenly asked Yan Jin, “Yan Jin, do you know what white lotus means?”

　　”Of course I know,” Yan Jin said. “But the white lotus I’m talking about is the original meaning of white lotus, not the later derived meaning.”

　　Yu Shu: “How rare. Yan Jin, you actually know what white lotus means.”

　　”…” Yan Jin: “I’m only twenty-five years old this year. It’s not surprising that I know these things.”

　　[Hahaha, I forgot Yan Jin is only twenty-five years old and still very young.]

　　[Yan Jin is usually so… old-fashioned. It’s quite surprising that she knows internet slang.]

　　After saying that, Yu Shu realized he had asked a stupid question.

　　Afraid that Yan Jin would laugh at him, Yu Shu quickly changed the topic, “So you can only see the county magistrate tomorrow?”

　　”Ah Yun said this matter is very important and she can’t make the decision for the county magistrate, so she needs to ask the county magistrate first,” Yan Jin paused and said, “Originally, according to Ah Yun’s intention, she wanted me to go back with her and talk to the county magistrate in person. But I thought if I had to meet the county magistrate today, it would be too tiring, so I came back first.”

　　”You’ve really worked hard today. Even though you don’t like socializing, you still went out for the sake of our future happy life,” Yu Shu smiled and poured Yan Jin a cup of tea. “Have a cup of tea to take a break.”

　　For the sake of their future happy life?

　　Although that’s what he said, Yan Jin always felt that there was some ambiguity in Yu Shu’s words.

　　But seeing Yu Shu’s candid face, Yan Jin suppressed the strange feeling in her heart.

　　The two talked for a while longer. Before Yan Jin could ask Yu Shu what they were going to eat out tonight, she saw Yu Shu wave his hand, “My hand has almost recovered. Let’s not eat out tonight. Let’s cook at home!”

　　Yan Jin: “…”

　　Actually, Yan Jin had 200,000 percent distrust in Yu Shu’s cooking skills, who only knew how to make brown sugar water.

　　It’s just that Yu Shu was so enthusiastic, and Yan Jin didn’t want to dampen his spirits. She just tactfully brought up a topic, “When I went out today, I found that there were only two sets of clothes in the wardrobe. It’s a bit too few. Why don’t we go out and buy some clothes tonight?”

　　[Is it my illusion? Why do I always feel like Yan Jin is trying to stop Yu Shu from cooking?]

　　[Be bold. Remove the “illusion” and question mark. Yan Jin is indeed trying to stop Yu Shu from cooking.]

　　”Buy clothes? Sounds good!” Yu Shu’s eyes lit up. “I haven’t been to an ancient clothing store before.”

　　”Then let’s go shopping tonight,” Yan Jin was secretly delighted to see Yu Shu take the bait. “It’s just that if we want to start a fire and cook at home, it might be too late if we go out after eating.”

　　Yu Shu: “Then let’s eat out tonight.”

　　Before Yan Jin could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Yu Shu say, “We can’t do it tonight, but I’ll make breakfast tomorrow!”

　　”…”

　　Well, it’s better to die later than sooner.

　　She still had one night to mentally prepare herself.

　　Yan Jin’s requirements were not high. As long as the food made by Yu Shu was not “poison” and wouldn’t kill anyone, it would be fine.

　　Anping County was still brightly lit and lively at night. There were quite a few customers coming and going in the shops. The two originally agreed to buy clothes, but after visiting a few stores, both Yan Jin and Yu Shu came out with things in their hands.

　　[Sigh, these two are really spendthrifts.]

　　[Too real. It’s like seeing myself, always carrying things in my hands every time I come out of a mall.]

　　[I understand why they can become friends now. They’re exactly the same when it comes to liking to buy things.]

　　The two walked around for a while before heading to the largest fabric shop in Anping County.
