After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 32: Peach Blossoms in the Eyes
"I originally thought that after I had a house to live in, I would cook for myself to thank the guard brother."

Song Lan picked up the teapot and poured tea for Yan Jun who was sitting opposite her, her voice gentle.

“I didn’t expect that house to be in such a state.”

Many of those who come to challenge us live together, eat and drink together.

The kitchen was in a very dilapidated state and covered in dust.

It formed a very sharp contrast with the cleanliness and tidiness of other parts of the house.

"Originally, even if I can't cook at home, I should go to Fanlou and order a table of delicious food for you. Unfortunately, I am really short of money now, so I can only eat a simple meal in this small roadside restaurant for the time being."

Even so, she had to persuade the store owner hard before he agreed to let her exchange half a pearl for a meal.

Song Lan was not embarrassed at all and promised solemnly: "I will take the dowry back from the Xie family tomorrow, and then I will invite you to Fanlou to eat and drink."

At this moment, Yan Jun's mind was not here at all.

He clearly felt that he had received a call for help from the underworld just now.

But for some reason, the distress signal disappeared in just a moment.

It was as if it was just an illusion that he was distracted by.

Then he was pulled over by Song Lan to eat.

After that, trying to capture that faint message for help was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there was nothing to be found.

"It's ok."

Seeing Song Lan's eyes as bright as if hiding stars looking at him, Yan Jun had to temporarily retract his consciousness and concentrate on dealing with the problem.

"I've said before that saving the girl is my duty. It's my responsibility. The girl really doesn't need to be so concerned or polite."

Song Lan let out a long "Oh": "It's my duty~"

Yan Jun: ...

I always feel like you're thinking about something indecent!

Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Yan Jun simply gave up explaining and lowered his head to drink tea to cover up his escape.

The food was served quickly.

Two cold dishes and two hot dishes, not very exquisite, but tasted good.

Song Lan took a bite of the stir-fried cabbage and was satisfied.

It’s so good to be alive!

Now you have food and drink, and you no longer have to watch others burn incense while you work alone for free, without even the money to pay for half a stick of incense.

Halfway through the meal, Song Lan realized that she seemed to be so busy eating that she had neglected her benefactor.

Thinking of the ghost stories in the underworld and the "Love Guide" that had been chattering in her ears, Song Lan asked the boss for a new pair of chopsticks.

She picked out the stir-fried cabbage that she thought was the most delicious, picked up a piece with chopsticks, leaned forward slightly, and gently and slowly put the food on the chopsticks into the person's bowl.

When the person looked up in surprise, she smiled shyly, her eyes slightly shifted for a moment, then as if unable to restrain herself, she secretly turned back, pretending to want to peek but was accidentally caught, and lowered her head even more panickedly, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing uncontrollable joy, her fingers stirring constantly, her heart fluttering like a deer.

"Brother Guard, try this."

Song Lan's voice was deliberately sweetened, as if he had prepared himself mentally. When he raised his head and looked at the person again, his eyes were full of spring.

“I think it tastes pretty good.”

As if possessed by some strange force, Yan Jun picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Strangely enough, he had no interest in these worldly things.

Not to mention what it tastes like.

During the few days he was on earth, everything he ate tasted like chewing wax.

But inexplicably, he could taste the flavor of the fried cabbage he just took with his chopsticks.

It seems... a little bit sweet?

Yan Jun looked up at Song Lan in surprise, wondering if this woman had secretly dipped her chopsticks in sugar water.

"Is it tasty?"

Song Lan looked into the man's eyes, and just as the ghosts in the storybook said, he held his chin with his hand, looked at the man with sparkling eyes and asked.

Yan Jun: ...Well, how should I put it?

"It's OK." This omnipotent answer is not without merit!
Caught off guard, Song Lan stood up and leaned forward again. Yan Jun looked at the person who was about to get close to him and his eyes widened in panic.

Almost dodged it.

In the end, Song Lan just took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his mouth. Yan Jun swallowed nervously a few times.

He was afraid that Song Lan would become ferocious and the hand that was wiping his mouth would turn into sharp claws with white bones, and with two clicks, it would pierce his throat.

Song Lan felt the tension of the people and found it very strange.

Why does it seem like the person in front of me doesn't have a red face or a pounding heart as the word ghosts said?

Was it because she hadn't teased him enough?

The two of them ate for a while and almost finished the meal.

When he stood up and was about to leave, Yan Jun, who was on guard, widened his eyes again, watching Song Lan suddenly approach him. He didn't dare to move or hide, his whole body was stiff as if he was under a spell.

The woman's breath was warm and fragrant.

Yan Jun kept swallowing his saliva, completely unaware of what Song Lan was trying to do.

It's in public, so he shouldn't go on a beastly rampage, right?

He thought of some humiliating nights in the underworld and became even more nervous.

Seeing that the two were about to get close to each other, Yan Jun's hands moved restlessly, struggling between pushing the person away and not pushing him away.

Until Song Lan's eyelashes flickered across his earlobe, and the itchy feeling made him tremble instinctively twice.

This shake can't help but collide with people's shoulders.

When I turned around to avoid the person, I accidentally touched a waist that was almost slender enough to be held in one hand.

Just touch and leave.

Yan Jun felt as if his hand was scalded.

When Song Lan saw the redness behind the man's ears, he began to believe the ghost's lies again.

She stood still with a serious expression, her eyes clear and bright, and shook the leaf in her hand: "Brother Guard, there is a leaf stuck on your hair just now."

Explained why he came closer just now.

"Oh, ah, yes, that's it." Yan Jun swallowed his saliva and spoke incoherently.

Why do I feel inexplicably lost?

In Yan Jun's mind, the image of the person in front of him flashed, the image of her with a flushed face and a dazed look as she tore his clothes.

Wronged.

"What else?" The girl's soft voice quietly slipped into my ear: "Brother Guard, what do you think I want to do?"

Yan Jun: I thought you were going to force me again.

He looked away awkwardly: "Nothing."

Prude!
Song Lan made a soft "tsk" sound, but that was enough.

The two men straightened their clothes and walked out with serious expressions.

"My two guests!"

When they were about to leave the store, the waiter came up to them a little awkwardly, rubbing his hands, and said awkwardly: "My two guests, please stay. I beg you to spare a moment to talk."

Song Lan walked to the side with someone not knowing what was going on, and saw the waiter handing her half a pearl that she wanted to use to pay for her meal.

"Young lady, please be kind and pay for the meal."

Song Lan: ???
No, didn’t we just agree that the meal would be paid for with half a pearl? How come you are not paying for it now that I have finished eating?
"This is also what my boss wants." The waiter said very embarrassedly: "Please don't make it difficult for me, young lady. I am just an employee and I can't make the decision."

As they were both workers, Song Lan empathized with them without any surprise.

"Where's your boss?"

She had just discussed this with her boss.

"My boss said he had something to do and went home first."

The waiter raised his hand and handed the half pearl forward: "Young lady, look at this?"

Where can Song Lan see it? She has no money.

You can't treat people to a meal and then let them pay the bill.

Even if she was willing to give up that face...

What a coincidence, isn't it?
Yan Jun has no money either.

After confirming that the two people really couldn't afford a penny, the waiter felt relieved to tell them his original purpose: "Then I can only ask you two to follow me--"
