Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling
Chapter 71 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (5)
Sheng Yuan woke up at daybreak. The person in his arms was sleeping soundly. Sheng Yuan tiptoed out of bed and gently tucked him in.
Sheng Yuan got up early, ate some simple breakfast, and went to his study.
Upon arriving at the study, Sheng Yuan picked up his pen and wrote a secret letter, but with a wave of his hand, the letter vanished into thin air.
Then, Sheng Yuan took out the original owner's schoolwork and looked at it.
I don’t know, I’m scared.
This is really bad. No wonder he failed the imperial examination in the same year as the protagonist who started from scratch.
Sheng Yuan picked up his pen and started redoing it. Fortunately, there was still some time during the holiday, so he was able to redo it.
When Sheng Yuan stopped writing, it was almost 9 AM. So he put down his pen and raised his hand, and a bowl of fragrant minced meat and egg custard appeared in his hand.
He carried the bowl of steamed egg custard towards the bedroom.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Nan, dressed only in his undergarments, was sitting on the bed in a daze.
Sheng Yuan quickly walked over, put down the steamed egg custard, picked up the clothes, and helped Lin Nan put them on.
While putting on the clothes, she kept nagging, "Although it's spring now, it's still quite cold. Your body is weak, and you catch a cold so easily..."
Lin Nan heard his voice and felt his movements, and gradually came back to his senses.
"Sorry……"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan stopped nagging and asked in confusion, "What did Nan Bao do to offend her husband?"
"I overslept and didn't prepare breakfast for my husband... I won't do that again, I'm not lazy!"
Lin Nan was very annoyed.
I used to get up before dawn. What if my husband thinks I'm lazy and doesn't like me anymore?
Will my husband leave me?
Is he going to go back to the old way of life?
“I didn’t oversleep, and you don’t need to prepare breakfast.” Sheng Yuan helped him fasten his belt and coaxed him with a smile.
Lin Nan was not comforted. Her husband was very capable, and she, a country boy, knew nothing. If she was not diligent and could not serve her husband well, she would be a burden.
Everything that's superfluous will eventually be discarded.
He doesn't want to be abandoned.
"I can cook and take good care of my husband. I'm useful! Don't treat me as a burden..." Lin Nan quickly said, afraid that if he hesitated even a second longer, Sheng Yuan would treat him as a burden and divorce him.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan felt heartbroken. He cupped Nan Bao's thin face in his hands and said, "Nan Bao, you are my husband, we are family. I don't need you to be useful, I need you to be happy. You will never be a burden to me. Nan Bao is weak, you need to get enough sleep to take care of yourself."
"Husband..." Lin Nan had never heard anyone tell him so gently that he was not a burden and that he didn't need to be useful.
Tears welled up in his eyes. He reached out and hugged Sheng Yuan's waist, burying his face in Sheng Yuan's arms.
Sheng Yuan held the person in his arms, gently stroking their back, and coaxed softly, "From now on, I'll be here for you. I'll support you in everything. Nan Bao, you can do whatever you want without worrying about anything. Nan Bao is great, I love you very much, please don't cry anymore, okay?"
Lin Nan never cried before, not even when his stepmother and father beat and insulted him, when his younger siblings bullied him, when people in the village mocked and isolated him, or when he was so hungry that he was about to faint.
But at this moment, he couldn't help himself, just like yesterday when he couldn't help but believe in Scholar He and wanted to get closer to him.
My husband's embrace was so warm, so comforting that I didn't want to leave.
[Ding! Target's affection level: 40%]
[Ding! Target's happiness level: 10%]
Lin Nan tried to control herself, pulled away from Sheng Yuan's embrace, and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.
"……Um."
Suddenly his stomach rumbled.
"I prepared steamed egg custard for you. Try it and see if you like it." Sheng Yuan picked up the steamed egg custard that had been placed aside.
It was a little cold, but he didn't panic. He secretly used his magic to warm it up.
Lin Nan saw a large bowl of steamed egg custard topped with minced meat and sprinkled with chopped green onions.
It was something I'd never eaten before.
"Did my husband make this?"
There was no one else at home; she was sleeping while her husband was cooking.
No man in the village is willing to cook, let alone cook for his wife or husband.
My husband is a scholar, and isn't it said that a gentleman keeps away from the kitchen?
"Okay. Let's have something to eat first, then we'll have lunch later."
"Have you eaten, my husband?"
Lin Nan felt somewhat ashamed; what husband was as lazy as him...
"Eat it. This was prepared for you."
Sheng Yuan scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Lin Nan.
Having learned from yesterday's experience of being fed, Lin Nan obediently opened his mouth.
The golden-yellow steamed egg custard slid into my mouth, fresh, fragrant, and smooth. The addition of crunchy minced meat pieces added a new layer to this bowl of steamed egg custard.
delicious!
This is certainly not an ordinary steamed egg custard. Sheng Yuan added some nourishing medicinal herbs to it, but given Lin Nan's severely depleted body, only mild tonics were used.
Lin Nan didn't know that; he just thought it was ordinary steamed egg custard. But even though it was just ordinary steamed egg custard, it was already very precious to Lin Nan.
My husband is so wonderful, so unreal, it's like I'm dreaming, a beautiful dream.
I hope this dream never ends, never ends.
Sheng Yuan looked at his little husband's smiling face, seemingly lost in thought, and was so charmed that he couldn't resist giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Lin Nan's face turned visibly red; he was still not used to such intimate gestures.
After feeding the young man, Sheng Yuan decided to go and check on the He family's fields.
The original owner had a high opinion of himself and was unwilling to work in the fields. After passing the imperial examination, he rented out all his land and was unwilling to put in the effort to look after it.
Feeling superior, he considered discussing matters with these commoners to be beneath his dignity. So, whenever someone tried to plead with him or say a few words of sympathy, the original owner would quickly agree to send them away, deeming them unclean, to prevent them from lingering.
He Zhao is both stupid and hypocritical.
Lin Nan naturally wanted to go along, but it was almost noon and he had to cook.
Just as he hesitated, Sheng Yuan led him outside.
"We're not hungry right now. Let's take care of this first, then we'll go back and cook together."
A large hand enveloped Lin Nan's small, rough hand, conveying warmth.
Although the clothes Sheng Yuan gave him didn't fit him perfectly, they were very warm, warmer and more comfortable than what he used to wear.
Country lanes always have a refreshing scent that makes people feel relaxed and at ease.
On the way, the villagers saw Scholar He walking with his husband. Although they were curious, they did not dare to go forward. After all, the whole village knew that Scholar He looked down on them, these peasants.
Sheng Yuan didn't want to explain. First, it would be too deliberate to explain and he might be seen as crazy. Second, actions are more likely to be accepted than words.
Instead of explaining to people verbally, it's better to actually offer them some benefits.
This is the time when the men of each household are working in the fields.
Shengyuan called out to the men who were working in the fields.
Everyone was stunned when they heard He Xiucai's voice.
Scholar He never came to the fields, so his sudden arrival today was very strange, and everyone couldn't help but be on guard.
Lin Nan knew these people, including Aunt Gu's husband, Gu Laoda, who loved to gossip.
In Lin Nan's eyes, Gu Laoda and Gu Shenzi were like a perfect match, like a pot and its lid.
Boss Gu likes to take advantage of others and also likes to cheat.
Aunt Gu likes to gossip.
The reputation of being a jinx to his relatives spread back to the village, thanks to Aunt Gu.
My younger sister is famous because she's beautiful.
I was told this because Aunt Gu had overheard my stepmother beating and verbally abusing me.
Although he didn't say anything to anyone, when he was helping his stepmother deliver things to Aunt Gu that day, before he could leave, he overheard her talking about him with someone else.
However, if he were to confront them, he would certainly be beaten and scolded by his father and stepmother, and would also be branded as fierce and shrewish.
Moreover, Aunt Gu was burly and strong, and Boss Gu was also there. He couldn't beat her, so he could only hold back.
Lin Nan disliked them, gripped Sheng Yuan's hand tightly, and hid behind Sheng Yuan.
Sheng Yuan sensed his little husband's emotions, though he didn't show it on his face. But beneath his robes, he took the little husband's hand in his own and stroked his little hand with his thumb, trying to soothe him.
"Scholar He, what... why did it take so long?" Elder Gu asked.
Sheng Yuan glanced at him and sneered.
[The host chuckled, realizing the old man's fate was uncertain.]
Nuonuo floated on Lin Nan's shoulder to watch the show.
Hehe~ He's next to an adult, and out of respect for the adult, the host won't hold it against him.
