On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The hustle and bustle of the morning market in Wuqing County was gradually left behind. There were few pedestrians on the official road in the early morning, and it seemed particularly quiet.

"Gululu——"

In this silence, a loud and sudden bowel sound suddenly came from Chengxuan's direction!

The sound is exceptionally clear on the open road!

Chengxuan froze instantly!

The pretty face turned red like a cooked shrimp, all the way to the ears and deep into the neck!

She subconsciously, quickly, and thievingly glanced sideways at Lin Zhen beside her, like a frightened deer.

That look seemed to say.

Didn't you hear it?

You definitely didn't hear it!

The panic and embarrassment of praying made Cheng Xuan want to bury her head in the horse's mane.

however--

"Puchi..." Lin Zhen couldn't help but let out a very low laugh.

Chengxuan's body stiffened, and she instantly felt that this was just the scene of social death!

Lin Zhen resisted the urge to continue laughing, turned his head, and looked at me with a playful look, but his tone was surprisingly calm and natural: "Tsk, stop peeking at me. What are you looking at? You're not a little girl anymore. Why should you be embarrassed about being hungry?"

As he spoke, he naturally reached into his pocket and pulled out a square object wrapped in greaseproof yellow paper, still warm. He stretched out his hand and handed it to Cheng Xuan steadily:

"Here, take it. It's a famous local delicacy in Wuqing, donkey meat hot pot! You've definitely never had it." His voice was as casual as the morning light, and seemed to hide a subtle gentleness. "Try it."

Cheng Xuan was riding on the horse, her eyes fixed on Lin Zhen's outstretched hand.

The hand with distinct joints and dry palms held the warmth firmly.

The early morning sunlight outlined the sharp contours of his profile, and for a moment, his usual ruffianism and calculation faded away, revealing a strange sense of reliability.

Her heart trembled slightly for some unknown reason.

It turns out... he's not just trying to piss people off?

This realization was like a tiny stone dropped into the calm lake of her heart, creating a ripple that she herself had not even noticed.

An indescribable warmth quietly surged through my heart, suppressing the previous shame and embarrassment.

Cheng Xuan forced herself to remain calm and kept a straight face. She reached out and grabbed the paper package that was warm from Lin Zhen's body temperature. She was too reluctant to even say thank you, as if the faster she took it, the better she could hide her abnormality.

She tore open the paper package roughly, and two steaming, golden donkey meat buns immediately came into view. The aroma of the crispy dough mixed with the rich and fragrant meat filling instantly hit her face!

She was already so hungry that morning, and when she was tempted by the fragrance, how could she care about her modesty?

He opened his mouth and took a big bite!

The skin was crispy and crumbly! The donkey meat was tender and juicy inside! The secret sauce was fragrant and delicious! This unprecedented delicacy instantly captured her taste buds!

All the anger I felt yesterday seemed to be strangely relieved by this hot and delicious food.

She almost devoured the food voraciously, finishing two palm-sized pieces of fire in no time. Her speed was so fast that even Lin Zhen was a little surprised.

He didn't even realize that there were a lot of burnt biscuit crumbs on the corners of his mouth.

Lin Zhen couldn't help laughing at her fierce tiger-like appearance as he watched her pounce on her prey. There was a hint of teasing in his voice: "How is it, Xiao Chengxuan? Isn't it delicious?"

He looked at the shiny oil stains and debris at the corners of her mouth.

Cheng Xuan smacked her lips in satisfaction, as if she wanted to savor the delicious taste. However, she still pretended to be stubborn and turned her head away in a cold manner: "Hmph...it's just...okay."

But the slightly raised corners of his lips and the shining eyes revealed his true thoughts.

"You say one thing and mean another!" Lin Zhen smiled and shook his head, exposing her disguise. "You're just being stubborn! This fire-baked bread is a unique and sought-after item in Wuqing. It uses the finest ingredients, and the supply is limited each day. It's not cheap! Want to try it? You'll have to line up early in the morning. Two hours is considered fast!"

He paused, glanced at Cheng Xuan, and said in a calm but meaningful tone, "I know you don't like porridge, so I got up early this morning to queue up."

The indifference on Chengxuan's face froze instantly!

She turned her head abruptly and looked at Lin Zhen in disbelief, her clear eyes filled with astonishment: "You...you went to queue up by yourself? With the status of a prince?!"

She couldn't understand it at all!

A person who can make the Jinwu Guards kneel to welcome him and for whom Zhang Li carefully prepares an exclusive room, has to queue up in person to buy snacks?

"What else?" Lin Zhen raised his eyebrows and asked as if it was a matter of course, "That shop isn't my property. Even if it is, should I cut in line?"

"This..." Cheng Xuan was speechless for a moment, feeling that this theory was absurd. "It's not your property, and you... With your status, just show it and say a word, who would dare not do it for you first?"

The smile on Lin Zhen's face faded a little, his eyes became serious and calm, and his tone became much more solemn: "My status is not for me to be domineering in such trivial matters and compete with ordinary people for convenience. If I bully others, break the rules, and take the share that belongs to others just for a piece of food I'm greedy for..." He looked directly at Cheng Xuan and said clearly word by word:

"Don't you think it's shameful for a prince like Daqian to do this?"

Chengxuan was stunned by the question.

She looked at Lin Zhen's profile, which was calm and frank, without any frivolity or playfulness.

An extremely complicated emotion surged in her heart.

His words were like a small stone thrown into a deeper lake of heart, stirring up waves far greater than before.

His logic was right, but this behavior of "equal queuing" was so incompatible with the "privilege" that she took for granted!

She frowned slightly, her red lips parted, and she murmured subconsciously: "Okay...it seems to make some sense...but I always feel like something is not right..."

This novel and even somewhat subversive cognition, coupled with his behavior of silently queuing up to buy food for her early in the morning, was like two invisible warm currents, quietly melting the originally hard ice in the lake of her heart.

When she looked at Lin Zhen again, the thick layer of defensiveness and hostility in her eyes seemed to have faded a lot unconsciously, replaced by a kind of confusion, thought, and a hint of exploratory tenderness that she herself had not even noticed.

Lin Zhen looked at her frowning face as she pondered and smiled. That smile had regained some of its usual casualness, but it seemed to lack the deliberate teasing. "If you can't figure it out, just think about it slowly! Let's go! We'll try to get to Cangzhou tomorrow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly cracked the whip!

"drive!"

The tall black horse rushed out like an arrow!

Chengxuan subconsciously kicked the horse's belly and immediately caught up.

The horse gallops and the wind whistles in my ears.

Cheng Xuan's gaze involuntarily followed the tall and free-spirited figure in front of her. A corner of her heart seemed to be gently touched by the passing wind, leaving a vague and unfamiliar mark.

She couldn't figure out what the mark was.
