Chapter 011

[Uh… Wasn’t Yu Shu’s action a bit offensive? He and Yan Jin aren’t close.] [No matter how unfamiliar they are, they’re still fellow townsmen who transmigrated from the same world. Familiarity is just a matter of time.] [I feel like Yu Shu acted on impulse too. Didn’t you see his frightened expression after realizing he actually had the audacity to touch Yan Jin?]

Yan Jin didn’t expect Yu Shu to dare touch her head. She sobered up a bit in an instant. “…What are you doing?”

After Yu Shu inexplicably touched Yan Jin’s head, he was originally worried that she might be angry. But after carefully observing Yan Jin’s expression and seeing no dissatisfaction, Yu Shu slightly breathed a sigh of relief. “Just teasing you.”

If it were anyone else, Yan Jin would definitely feel offended.

But seeing the hidden unease on Yu Shu’s face, the remaining bit of displeasure in the face-obsessed Yan Jin also vanished.

For the sake of Yu Shu’s good-looking face, Yan Jin could turn a blind eye.

It’s just that since Yu Shu touched her head, Yan Jin had to collect some interest in return.

Under Yu Shu’s disbelieving gaze, Yan Jin touched Yu Shu’s slightly prickly crew cut. Her expression was calm, but visible delight surrounded her entire being.

Although cats are too clingy, occasionally petting them also helps improve one’s mood.

[The more I look at Yan Jin’s action of touching Yu Shu, the more familiar it seems, but I can’t remember where I’ve seen it before.] [Hey, you in front, do you dare add the word “head”? The originally normal head pat, with you saying it like that, makes it seem like a midnight show.] [Yan Jin’s touching action is clearly petting a cat. When I pet my fur baby, it’s the same action as Yan Jin’s.]

Because the accommodation fee Yan Jin and the others gave yesterday was quite considerable, Wang Shi got up early to prepare breakfast.

After Yan Jin and Yu Shu chatted for a while in the courtyard, Wang Shi called them to eat breakfast.

Even if a farmer’s family intentionally prepares a hearty breakfast, the conditions are limited. In the end, what was served on the dining table was nothing more than a pot of golden millet porridge, a plate of fragrant egg rolls, a basket of big buns, and two small dishes of homemade pickles.

Deng Qian felt quite embarrassed. “We don’t have anything good to serve here. It’s not good to just eat sugarcane for breakfast. Fortunately, the food is relatively clean. Please don’t mind it, dear guests.”

“With porridge, vegetables, and buns, it’s already very hearty.” Yan Jin glanced at the few little turnip heads in the Deng family who were staring at the egg rolls and buns with drooling mouths, obviously craving them but trying hard to hold back. She casually picked up a pair of shredded radish with her chopsticks and put it into her own bowl. “I love shredded radish. I can’t even eat breakfast without it.”

Yu Shu smiled brightly as he took the porridge handed over by Wang Shi. “Millet porridge is good for the stomach. I usually can’t even get such pure millet at home. I must eat a few more bowls today.”

The Deng couple originally worried that these two guests, who appeared to be of extraordinary status at a glance, would disdain their coarse and crude farmer’s food. Unexpectedly, not only did they not show the slightest disdain on their faces, they were even eating the simple and rough breakfast with a pleasant expression.

[Wuwu, son, you’re lying. You hate drinking porridge the most and never drink it for breakfast.] [Yan Jin and Yu Shu saw that the Deng Qian’s children were craving the food badly, so they deliberately didn’t eat the egg rolls and buns, right?]

In fact, Yan Jin didn’t like shredded radish or drinking porridge in the morning at all. She liked soy milk with egg rolls or buns for breakfast.

But when the shredded radish entered her mouth, Yan Jin felt that what she just said wasn’t really a lie.

The shredded radish was crisp and refreshing, and although it was an ordinary side dish to go with porridge, it tasted great and was to her liking.

After the meal, Yan Jin asked Deng Qian about the way to the nearby county town. When she came back, she heard Wang Shi talking to Yu Shu.

“Although it’s not good for men to sing and dance in public now, because the Phoenix Lord likes music and dance, Her Majesty specially established a male music and dance academy in the capital to recruit men from all over the world to learn dancing and singing.”

“Young lad, you have a good appearance and are young, with a flexible body. You can go and apply.” Seeing Yu Shu’s interest, Wang Shi persuaded, “I heard that every year, the outstanding students selected by the academy can represent the academy to perform at the year-end palace banquet.”

Yan Jin recalled what Wang Shi had just said and asked in confusion, “But isn’t it improper for men to sing and dance?”
