Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

She used the chopsticks that Shen Tingci had used so naturally. Shen Tingci watched her and thought: Tonight, no matter what, we should make sure we have a real wedding night.

When Shen Tingyu came out of the bridal chamber, he saw his elder brother and sister-in-law interacting at the kitchen door. He only glanced at them twice before awkwardly looking away and going to the main room to tidy up the tables and chairs.

His marriage seems different from his older brother's, Shen Tingyu thought.

By the time everything at the banquet was cleaned up, it was already past 3 p.m.

After everyone had eaten, Chen Ying still instructed Shen Tingyu, "Go back to your room and help your wife organize her dowry. Arrange the things properly and put them away as soon as possible."

Although he was unhappy with Jiang Ruoruo's long face, the guests at the banquet had already left.

Even Aunt Shen and her family packed up the leftovers and took them home.

Chen Ying thought that now that the person had moved in, life still had to go on, and she had to live it the way she always had to.

Shen Tingyu obediently went back to his room.

Inside the room, Jiang Ruoruo didn't eat the bowl of rice.

Shen Tingyu frowned slightly, but still said kindly, "What would you like to eat? I'll go get some."

Jiang Ruoruo snorted and turned her face away, refusing to look at him.

Shen Tingyu, holding the bowl of cooled rice, could only advise her, "Ruoruo, if you're angry, you can tell me. Don't take your health out on yourself."

"Man is made of iron, food is made of steel; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal."

Shen Tingyu wanted to say that they should live a good life like his older brother and sister-in-law, instead of arguing like this, but he swallowed his words when he thought that Jiang Ruoruo would be angry.

But Jiang Ruoruo didn't react to what he said; she just kept a straight face and didn't say anything.

Shen Tingyu then asked, "Shall I make you a bowl of sweet egg soup?"

Jiang Ruoruo remained silent.

Shen Tingyu could only take the cold food out first.

Then one person busied himself in the kitchen preparing a bowl of sweet egg soup and brought it back to the bridal chamber.

He took the cold rice to the kitchen, which Chen Ying didn't see, but she did see him take the sweet egg soup.

However, Chen Ying did not know that Jiang Ruoruo was throwing a tantrum and did not eat lunch. She only thought that Jiang Ruoruo had not eaten enough and did not think much of it.

Inside the main room, Shen Pengfei was saying to Shen Tingci, "I've decided to give all the wedding gifts you and Tingyu gave to yourselves."

Shen Tingci nodded. He didn't object because he had already received his share, so it was only right that Shen Tingyu should receive his as well.

After a pause, Shen Pengfei said, "There's something I haven't told you yet. I'm planning to divide the family property after Tingyu and his wife return to their parents' home."

Shen Tingci was also surprised to hear this, "Divorced so early?"

Shen Pengfei only said, "Delay will only lead to unforeseen changes!"

"We've separated, so each family can live their own lives and there will be less trouble!"

"Does Tingyu know?"

"I haven't told him yet!"

“I have no objection, you can decide,” Shen Tingci said, spreading his hands.

After the important matters were discussed in the main room, Jiang Ruoruo still hadn't eaten the bowl of sweet egg soup in Shen Tingyu's room.

Shen Tingyu was packing up Jiang Ruoruo's dowry all by himself.

As he tidied up, he asked Jiang Ruoruo, "Is it okay to put this here?"

Is it okay to leave that there?

Jiang Ruoruo didn't answer any of the questions, and as Shen Tingyu tidied up, he felt exhausted.

Dinner was prepared quickly because there were quite a few leftover dishes from the banquet.

Neither Shen Tingyu nor Jiang Ruoruo left the room until dinner time.

Chen Ying figured they were packing their things, so when dinner was ready, she asked Shen Tingzhi to call them for dinner.

Shen Tingzhi went to call for them.

Shen Tingyu looked at Jiang Ruoruo.

Jiang Ruoruo remained silent.

Shen Tingyu could only say, "I'll be there in a bit!"

Shen Tingzhi then turned and left.

Shen Tingyu clapped his hands, walked to Jiang Ruoruo's side, and pulled her along, saying, "Let's go, Mom is calling us for dinner."

As a result, Jiang Ruoruo struggled and shook off his hand that was holding her sleeve.

Shen Tingyu was at a loss for words. "Then I'll bring the food over!"

Jiang Ruoruo remained silent, so Shen Tingyu picked up the cooled sweet egg soup and prepared to leave.

He had barely reached the door when Jiang Ruoruo snorted and said, "I won't eat it even if you bring it to me."

Shen Tingyu gripped the bowl tightly in his hand, and finally turned around. "...Ruo Ruo," he called out weakly.

Today is his wedding day, a joyous occasion that should be his happiest day, but he is not happy at all.

This time, Jiang Ruoruo didn't remain silent. Instead, she said, "You guys eat, I'm not hungry!"

She said this and got up.

Shen Tingyu thought she was going to have dinner with him, and even if she wasn't hungry, she would sit with everyone and eat a bite. But who knew she would turn around and go to the backyard to use the toilet.

Chen Ying called out again from the doorway of the main room, "Tingyu, dinner's ready!"

Shen Tingyu could only take the bowl of sweet egg soup to the kitchen first.

Then, back in the main room, she awkwardly began, "...Ruo Ruo, Ruo Ruo said she's not hungry and told us to eat."

When Chen Ying saw him bring the sweet egg soup back to the new house in the afternoon, she really thought Jiang Ruoruo wasn't hungry, so she said, "Okay then, if she tells you she's hungry later, heat up two more fried dough sticks for her and make her a bowl of brown sugar water!"

"okay!"

Jiang Ruoruo didn't expect that even though she didn't go to eat, not a single person in the Shen family cared about her.

He was so angry that he smashed everything in the house.

She smashed the Shen family's bench, but couldn't bear to smash her own dowry.

However, she didn't dare to make too much noise, fearing that the Shen family might really have a problem with her.

But even the slightest noise goes unnoticed from a distance.

After everyone had eaten, Chen Ying went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. When she saw the bowl of sweet egg soup, she realized something was wrong.

She went to find Shen Pengfei and spoke to him.

Shen Pengfei frowned deeply as he listened, and finally only said, "Go and take a look!"

Chen Ying nodded.

But when she arrived, Jiang Ruoruo was already in bed, not talking to anyone.

Shen Tingyu had already picked up the chairs and stools she had fallen on.

Chen Ying knocked on the door, and Shen Tingyu, in order to cover up the truth, said, "She's asleep."

Chen Ying then turned and left.

Jiang Ruoruo didn't cause any more trouble after that, but she also didn't let Shen Tingyu have a wedding night.

Shen Tingyu had lost interest in that idea; he lay in bed, feeling utterly exhausted.

It seems... it seems like being happier without getting married is better.

He had no interest in his wedding night.

His older brother, however, was quite cunning.

Tonight, Shen Tingci decided to stop following Gu Shuhe's orders.

And tonight, he will tell Gu Shuhe that her command was wrong.

Gu Shuhe has a good personality, and he believes she can accept her mistakes.

After the lights were turned off, Shen Tingci took Gu Shuhe's hand in bed, holding it tightly in his palm. His soft voice rang out in the darkness, "Shuhe!"

Gu Shuhe secretly compared the size of her hand with Shen Tingci's hand.

She noticed that Shen Tingci's hands were indeed much bigger than hers.

He gave a vague "hmm".

Having received her response, Shen Tingci finally had the courage to continue speaking, "...The wedding night shouldn't be like that, cough cough," he said, then coughed awkwardly.

Gu Shuhe immediately stated, "I haven't experienced it either, I really don't understand."

Shen Tingci "..."

He knew, of course, that she wouldn't understand, and that wasn't what he meant.

"Don't you already know?" Gu Shuhe asked immediately.
