Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Chapter 82 The Scholar vs. the Substitute Bride (16)

When Sheng Yuan woke up, he saw his little husband's slightly swollen lips in his arms, lowered his head to kiss them, and then got up.

Lin Nan was used to waking up early. As if sensing her husband's departure, she half-opened her eyes and called out to him in a hoarse voice.

"You're awake. Have some water to soothe your throat." Sheng Yuan helped him lean against his chest and brought him a glass of warm water to his lips.

Lin Nan was still a little dazed, but obediently drank water from his hand.

"I'm going to the academy today. If you're tired, take a nap. Remember to have Nuonuo accompany you to ensure your safety. Eat and rest on time. I'll be back around noon. Take good care of yourself at home," Sheng Yuan instructed.

Lin Nan nodded, somewhat reluctant to let Sheng Yuan leave, but he knew the priorities and only buried himself in Sheng Yuan's arms for a short while before getting up.

Sheng Yuan kissed him and coaxed, "Sleep a little longer, I'll be back soon."

"Mmm." Lin Nan stopped trying to stay awake, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again.

Sheng Yuan tucked him in and left the room.

After breakfast, he took his pageboy Chen'an to the academy.

Sheng Yuan was considered to have arrived early.

The original owner's seat was by the window, but not in the front; it was in a corner, and he sat alone.

There was nothing the original owner could do; he was poor and had no connections.

In addition, Li Jiang was right in front of him.

Li Jiang sat next to Wei Xing, but Wei Xing was, to put it nicely, a spoiled brat, so he didn't want to sit where the teacher would easily notice him.

The academy could neither do nor dare to do anything to the county magistrate's son, so it naturally chose this position.

Lin Nan chose Chen An to be Sheng Yuan's page because Chen An was quiet and literate.

Some students who were going to stay at the academy arrived earlier, since most of them were rural scholars from relatively well-off families who came here hoping to defy fate.

The group was taken aback when they saw Sheng Yuan.

After all, given He Zhao's family background, it was impossible for him to have such attire, let alone a page.

"Brother He?" someone called out uncertainly.

Hearing the sound from afar, he looked up and saw a young man dressed in a faded blue robe.

"What is it?" Sheng Yuan's tone was always cold and distant towards people he had no connection with.

[Host, he also has the surname Li, and his name is Li Wei. He's from the same village as Li Jiang, but he's not familiar with Li Jiang.]

"It really is Brother He!" Li Wei noticed the white bandage wrapped around his forehead and asked, "Brother He, how did you get injured?"

"There was an unexpected incident; I narrowly escaped death, but I'm fine now."

This is to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the difference in behavior between oneself and the original owner.

Actually, the back of this body was more severely injured. The sound has been repaired, but the injury on the forehead would be visible, so it couldn't be made too obvious.

"I see." After asking, Li Wei returned to his seat. He and He Zhao were not familiar with each other. Although he was curious, this was enough for him.

Li Jiang's face was filled with anger when he saw Sheng Yuan.

“Brother He has changed so much, I can’t even recognize him. He’s different from us now, he even has a page.”

“After marrying a husband, things are naturally different from before. Coming to the academy is for learning, so how can it be different?” Sheng Yuan said.

"Brother He, you're getting married! Congratulations!" Li Wei couldn't help but exclaim.

First, he disliked Li Jiang; second, he was genuinely curious.

Sheng Yuan accepted his congratulations.

The time was approaching, and the students of the academy arrived one after another.

Hearing their conversation, I realized they were all here to learn, so there was no question of superiority or inferiority!

Teenagers at this age are easily swayed; they are impulsive and passionate.

Provoked by Sheng Yuan, he became hostile towards Li Jiang.

The blame lies with Li Jiang for being too obsequious to Wei Xing; otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to incite them.

"You!" Seeing the situation turning sour, Li Jiang's face darkened instantly. He explained, "Of course I know we're all here to learn. But Brother He, you're being supported by your husband these days; you've truly disgraced scholars!"

These words might have angered others, but Sheng Yuan was the one listening.

“My husband and I are family. He is willing to spend money on me, so it is reasonable for me to use his money. It is better than some people who go around cheating others to spend money.”

"I didn't!" Li Jiang stood up abruptly upon hearing this and retorted.

"Did I say it was you?" You idiot.

"You!" Li Jiang angrily sat back down.

When the school bell rang, Sheng Yuan saw that disgusting piece of trash—Wei Xing.

He was obese, with a rugged face, and wore an embroidered robe. Sheng Yuan felt nauseous looking at him and turned his head away.

Wei Xing fell asleep as soon as he got to his seat. He had gone to bed late the night before and was extremely tired.

When the teacher arrived at the classroom, he said two things before starting his lesson: first, he gave instructions to the top student in the class, and second, he mentioned that there would be an exam the next day.

The entrance exam is a major hurdle for every student.

Sheng Yuan didn't care at all; all he could think about was when he could go home.

During the class, the teacher looked at him intently several times, seemingly lost in thought.

[Master, the Lord has woken up and eaten something. Shen Yunzhao has come to see the Lord.]

【Um. 】

Since Nuonuo became Lin Nan's personal attendant, she has taken on the task of reporting the master's situation to him.

When Shen Yunzhao arrived, Lin Nan was practicing arithmetic in the study.

Shen Yunzhao knocked on the door, and a woman in her thirties or forties opened it.

"Is this... He Xiucai's house?" Shen Yunzhao paused, somewhat uncertain.

As Granny Yang and Granny Guo were sweeping the courtyard, they heard someone knocking on the door. If it weren't for the red mole at the corner of the person's eye, she would have thought it was a man.

"Yes, what is it?" They don't seem to be from a wealthy family.

“Gu Fulang’s husband is a friend of the head of the family.” Nuonuo was about to go to the kitchen to get some pastries to satisfy her cravings when she saw the door open. She explained as soon as she saw people.

Shen Yunzhao had met Nuonuo before. The first time he met him, he was a young man who suspected that He Xiucai was going to take a concubine. He almost picked up a hammer and went to confront He Xiucai.

After all, Lin Nan is definitely his family, and he wouldn't let his family suffer.

In the end, Nuonuo explained that she was Lin Nan's personal attendant, and the matter was dropped.

"My lord, Mr. Gu has arrived."

"Enter."

Nuonuo stood outside the door and invited Shen Yunzhao in.

"Brother Zhao, you've arrived," Lin Nan said upon seeing him.

Shen Yunzhao approached and looked at the numbers Lin Nan wrote that he recognized, saying, "The numbers you wrote are the same as my husband's."

“My husband taught me this,” Lin Nan said with a smile.

"What does Brother Zhao want to see me about?" Lin Nan thought Brother Zhao was a quiet and reserved person, and he wouldn't come looking for him unless he had something important to say.

Shen Yunzhao nodded and said, "My husband's dessert shop will open in a few days. I would like to invite you to try the desserts."

"Okay!" Lin Nan liked sweets, so she readily agreed.

"I saved some of the cake my husband made. Shall we go and try it now?" Shen Yunzhao asked.

Cakes aren't made often; it's too much work. So Shen Yunzhao specially saved one for Lin Nan.

This is his only blood relative here.

Lin Nan nodded and told Nuonuo to prepare the car.

Shen Yunzhao sat somewhat reserved in the carriage. Lin Nan said he felt the same way the first time he rode in a carriage, and that he would get used to it.

Lin Nan sat on the soft cushion that Nuonuo had specially placed for him and told him.

Shen Yunzhao looked at Lin Nan, who was dressed in comfortable and soft clothes and wearing a peach wood hairpin.

He Xiucai took good care of him, and Shen Yunzhao was happy for him.

Suddenly, I heard a commotion.

"Let me go! You bastard! Let me go!"
