The more cowardly a person is, the more wild they are; I've driven the villainous minister craz

Yun Shang took a step and walked towards Yu Wan.

His face always had a perfectly composed expression, which Yu Wan thought she had gotten used to, but as Yun Shang got closer and closer to her, she inexplicably felt that this guy seemed to be angry.

What is he angry about?

Are you angry that she's showing her face in public? Or are you angry that someone confessed their feelings to her?

Yu Wan subconsciously took a step back, looking at him warily, and awkwardly laughed, "Hehe...you, what brings you here?"

Yun Shang is a celebrity at Bailu Academy; almost every student there knows him.

Yu Wan had already inquired with other students at Bailu Academy and learned that Yun Shang always ate all three meals in the academy's canteen and never wasted time going out.

So, how did he suddenly appear here?

"I heard there's a new food stall here, so I came out to check it out." Yun Shang's gaze was calm, and his tone was completely indifferent.

"Yu Niang, when did you learn to do these things?" His gaze fell on the wooden tub in front of Yu Wan.

Only some soup remained in the wooden bucket, but the strong spicy aroma still lingered.

Yu Wan felt a "ding" in her mind, sounding an alarm.

Is the male lead testing her again?

Yu Wan casually stuffed the money box into the cart, winked at Yun Shang, and said, "Naturally, I learned it when you weren't home."

She smiled, lowered her voice slightly, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "My husband isn't watching me every second, so how do you know I can't cook these dishes?"

Yun Shang was caught off guard by her sudden approach, or perhaps startled by the word "husband" she uttered; a fleeting unease crossed his dark eyes.

He took a step back in front of Yu Wan.

Yu Wan felt a surge of pride and secretly curled the corners of her lips, suppressing her smile. Her eyes welled up with tears as she said aggrievedly, "I only thought of this way to earn money because I saw that our family was struggling financially and I felt sorry for my mother-in-law and Yunxi, who were not well and still had to stay up all night doing embroidery. Husband, do you think I did something wrong?"

In the past, Yun Shang could always see through Yu Wan's disguise at a glance. No matter how well she hid it, he could always sense a sense of incongruity.

But from that night on, even though he felt that Yu Wan was acting, her face and eyes were full of sincerity, which made him involuntarily deny his intuition.

Yu Wan is still the same Yu Wan, but why has she changed so much?

Yun Shang lowered her eyes without showing any emotion and calmly said, "Yu Niang, I was just asking casually."

Yu Wan chuckled inwardly.

Yun Shang would never waste his time on unworthy things; he definitely came here today specifically to test her!

On the surface, Yu Wan's gaze fell on the letter in her hand. She stuffed it into Yun Shang's arms and said apologetically, "This was given to me by my husband's classmate, Young Master Zhou. I can't read, so I don't know what's written inside. Please return it to Young Master Zhou."

Yun Shang's gaze fell on the letter.

He had not originally planned to leave the academy today.

It was because on the way to the library, some students were talking about a new food vendor named "Miss Yu" at the West Market.

The surname “Yu” is very rare in Huicheng County. To date, Yunshang has never heard of a second person with the surname “Yu”.

Recalling Zhou Shi'an's description from yesterday, he impulsively went out.

I never expected it would actually be Yu Wan.

What he didn't expect was that this love poem, which was almost entirely written by him, would end up in Yu Wan's hands.

Yun Shang calmly put the letter away and said, "Zhou Shi'an mistakenly thought you were an unmarried girl. I will explain to him."

Yu Wan nodded, her eyes sparkling.

Then the two fell silent.

Yun Shang is aloof and always listens quietly when he is with others, rarely speaking up.

As for Yu Wan, adhering to the principle that the more she said, the more mistakes she would make, and that she must keep her distance from the male lead, she naturally had to keep her distance from him in private.

So that the male lead wouldn't think she was seducing him.

Yu Wan had thought it over carefully. Yun Shang cared a lot about his family, so instead of frequently contacting Yun Shang and making him feel disgusted, it would be better to do something for the Yun family in a sincere way.

Showing appropriate care for the male lead will naturally build up his goodwill!

"I have other matters to attend to at the academy, so I'll be leaving now." After a long silence, Yun Shang spoke softly, and before he finished speaking, he had already turned and walked away.

The surrounding vendors immediately surrounded Yu Wan, chattering amongst themselves.

"Miss Yu, this is the most promising student at Bailu Academy. You are so lucky!"

Some people made sarcastic remarks, saying, "I think Miss Yu's appearance is just so-so, so why are all these students flocking to her?"

"Miss Yu, could you be an old acquaintance of Young Master Yun? I heard that Young Master Yun has a childhood sweetheart..."

Yu Wan shook her head without hesitation, "You're all overthinking it. I happen to be from the same village as Young Master Yun. He heard that I set up a food stall here, so he came to support my business."

“I am not Young Master Yun’s child bride.”

In the original text, Yun Shang never mentioned his childhood sweetheart to outsiders.

He even loathed the term "child bride" and didn't want anyone to know that he had a child bride.

His knowledge made him intolerant of the existence of child brides, but because Yu Wan was forced upon him by the Shen family, he had no choice but to accept it.

Having transmigrated into the book for so long, Yu Wan couldn't understand why someone as understanding as Madam Shen would force a "child bride" onto Yun Shang.

This is not something the Shen family would do at all.

Therefore, there is only one reason.

The power of story.

The original author created such a vicious child bride for the male protagonist, so regardless of whether it's reasonable or not, she has to exist.

Otherwise, how can we build upon the love story of the male and female leads, and elevate their love to a higher level?

Not far away, Yun Shang paused slightly, his dark eyes like a bottomless pool, making it impossible to see through him.

……

After Yu Wan returned home, she mentioned Yun Shang to Madam Shen. Madam Shen immediately said happily, "Yu Niang, I just made a few undergarments for Yun Shang. How about you send them to him after you finish selling the food tomorrow?"

Madam Shen gently took her hand and said, "Yun Shang never used to leave the academy during lunch break. He must have heard that you were selling food at the West Market, so he came to see you."

“This proves that he’s starting to care about you.” Madam Shen smiled like a loving mother. “You should send him some things every now and then so that he can see you often. I don’t believe that this stinky rock of his can’t be warmed up.”

Yu Wan: "..."

Trust her, you'll never warm her up!

But Yu Wan did not refuse.

As long as she maintains physical distance from the male lead, even small things like giving him clothes can earn her some goodwill.

After all, if she didn't deliver it, Madam Shen would have to make the trip herself. In such cold weather, Madam Shen's health had just recovered, so how could she let herself be exposed to the cold wind?

So the next day, after selling out of the pot-boiled chicken, Yu Wan took the bundle packed by Shen Shi and went to Bailu Academy.

Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter Bailu Academy. Only students can bring their families to visit after obtaining permission from their teachers.

Yu Wan could only wait at the door, preparing to have someone pass a message to Yun Shang.

"Miss Yu!"

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out behind her. Yu Wan turned around and saw a bright smiling face.
