Chapter 46 The Princess’s Beauty Agent (3) (1/2)

Chapter 46 The Princess’s Beauty Agent (3) (1/2)

Lin Shiheng's words obviously made Zhao He very unacceptable. Until three or four days after the incident, he was wondering whether he had dreamed these words and pressed them on Brother Lin unconsciously, and then he mistakenly thought it was Lin Shiheng. What comes out of my brother's mouth.

No wonder Zhao He thinks this way, Lin Shiheng looks like a gentleman who stepped out of a book, no matter in appearance or temperament, words and deeds, except that his body is slightly weaker.

How could such a person say those words?

He struggled for a few days, but was too embarrassed to ask Lin Shiheng whether he had said those words.

After all, these words are really... so shameless.

It was not easy for him to find such a friend who did not dislike his identity as a businessman and also had excellent grades. How could his roommate ask such questions again? If he made someone angry, where could he find such a friend again.

What's more, in the eyes of his friends, he is still a gentleman who is very willing to help others.

Today, Zhao He stepped on the deck and saw his famous friend standing on the deck talking to several scholars. He stepped forward and before he could answer, he heard Brother Lin say, "Brother Zhao's knowledge is indeed extremely high." "Jia, what I just said to you brothers was just discussed with Brother Zhao yesterday. It's just that he doesn't like achievements and never wants me to publicize them."

Zhao He blushed for a while after hearing this, and could hardly maintain the unnatural look on his face.

He felt that his friend was good in every way, but he was too honest. Every time we discussed it, he was the one who made Zhao He think, "So that's how it is," and "This is how this scripture should be." But Brother Lin was obsessed with it. He thought that Zhao He wouldn't have been able to figure it out if he hadn't discussed it with him, so he directly put the credit on him.

Although Zhao He liked to hear others praise him, he would not just take the credit from others. He quickly stepped forward, bowed to several people, and told the truth.

Lin Shiheng listened to what he said with a smile. His smile remained unchanged, he covered his lips and coughed softly a few times. With a smile in his eyes, he said to the scholars, "This is the reason why Brother Zhao and I have a good relationship. "

Zhao He looked strangely at the scholars across from him who looked at him with some inexplicable admiration.

What's with that look that looks at a talented person who doesn't admire fame? ?

"It turns out that Brother Zhao's talent and learning are so outstanding. I will have to worry about Brother Zhao more in the future."

"How about we arrange a poetry meeting here tomorrow?"

Zhao He was blown a rainbow fart again. He rarely attended gatherings of scholars like this before. Except for the ones held by his elders where he could receive invitations, he was always treated as a transparent person among his peers.

Although merchants are more or less looked down upon by others, Zhao He, who was directly denied his talent and was completely rejected, still had to thank those three candidates. At this moment, he was actually invited by the scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam together. Some were flattered and quickly agreed.

After the few scholars left, Lin Shiheng looked at Zhao He, who still had a joyous expression, and coughed softly, "Brother Zhao will attend the poetry meeting tomorrow. Don't forget if anyone writes a wonderful poem and brings it to me." "

Zhao He was a little confused: "Brother Lin, aren't you going?"

"By the way, what you just discussed was clearly proposed by you and me. Why do you want to tell them that I proposed it..."

The scholar in Tsing Yi smiled faintly, "I originally came up with it based on what Brother Zhao said, not to mention that this is what they will discuss tomorrow. Brother Zhao also knows that I am not in good health and cannot blow the wind for a long time. Tomorrow's Poetry Meeting I won’t go.”

Zhao He really believed it.

"Brother Lin, you still need to wait until you go to the capital to find a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. Then why don't you attend the poetry meeting tomorrow and just read in the room?"

Lin Shiheng smiled shyly, "The poetry meeting will be tomorrow morning. I should be meeting Duke Zhou at that time."

"I have a bad health. I need to get up before the sky is completely bright. I won't be able to participate in the future."

Zhao He looked at him with more sympathy.

As a scholar, it is so uncomfortable to be unable to attend even a gathering among scholars even though I am not excluded.

Thinking about how uncomfortable he felt when he was rejected, Zhao He suddenly felt that he could completely understand how lost his friend must be at this moment.

His expression was both sympathetic and determined, "Brother Lin, don't worry, I will attend the poetry meeting tomorrow and will write down some good poems and bring them to your room for you to watch."

As expected, Lin Shiheng's handsome and clear face showed some gratitude, and he slowly saluted, "In that case, thank you Brother Zhao."

"It's just that the poetry meeting ends tomorrow. Brother Zhao doesn't have to come to my room. I must not have woken up at that time. When I wake up, I will go find Brother Zhao."

After hearing these words, Brother Zhao sympathized with his friend even more.

Going to Beijing to take the exam requires you to take the time to study hard on the road, but Brother Lin can only sleep until midnight every day because of his health.

It's so pathetic.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao He indeed brought pen and ink to the poetry meeting. While everyone was talking loudly, he wrote furiously.

Someone was talking passionately, but suddenly from the corner of his eye, he saw that what Zhao He wrote on the paper was exactly what he said. His voice immediately dropped eight degrees. After finishing speaking politely, he walked to Zhao He and spoke briefly. Somewhat embarrassedly, I asked him why he recorded what he said.

When they heard that Lin Shiheng was not in good health and could not go out in the early morning, Zhao He specially helped him write down what everyone said so that he could take it back to him. The students at the poetry meeting first sympathized with Lin Shiheng who could only sleep in bed in such a good morning, and then sighed that Zhao He valued friendship. Then they consciously slowed down their speech when talking, so that Zhao He could record it more conveniently.

They were all scholars, and everyone wanted a reputation. Not to mention that Lin Shiheng, who made people feel that he was a gentle scholar in both appearance and behavior, was very popular with everyone. Just this matter alone, if it was spread out, it was also because these people were pure and kind.

So Zhao He's recording was indeed very smooth.

He was full of joy and conscientiously recorded it. When everyone left, it was already time for breakfast. When Zhao He walked to the deck on his way back to his room, he was blown by a gust of cool wind, and he was so cold that he hurriedly ran back to his room.

It was not too late at this time, Brother Lin should have woken up?

With this thought in mind, Zhao He took the paper he had written down and went to Lin Shiheng's window. He just wanted to take a look, but when he did, he happened to see the handsome scholar sleeping in bed with a calm and comfortable face.

Zhao He, who got up with a candle before the weather got cold and braved the cold wind to attend the poetry meeting, suddenly felt envious.

He was actually still sleepy. How comfortable it would be if he could sleep like Brother Lin until now.

With this thought, Zhao He immediately woke up and felt ashamed for having such a thought.

Brother Lin couldn't go out in such cold weather to attend the poetry meeting that was freezing to death. He could only sleep in the warm house. It was miserable enough. How could he have such a thought?

As soon as he finished thinking, Zhao He was stunned.

When he thought about it, he felt that he was the one who was really miserable. What should he do...

No, how could he think like this? It was too sorry for Brother Lin who was weak.

Zhao He kept brainwashing himself in his mind and left.

In the room behind him, Lin Shiheng turned over comfortably, yawned, got up and looked at the sky outside.

Although it was time for breakfast, Zhao He was probably still attending the poetry meeting and hadn't returned yet. How could he have the nerve to eat for free if the host hadn't returned yet!

It's better to sleep for a while. The colder the weather, the more comfortable it is to sleep in.

Thinking of this, the scholar on the bed closed his eyes with peace of mind and planned to have a good sleep.

Hey, Brother Zhao is really a very good friend.

Not only did he give him a free meal, but he also took notes.

He wanted to be friends with Brother Zhao for life.

When the boat slowly arrived at the destination, the two had a very good relationship with the scholars on the boat.

Originally, Zhao He's identity as a merchant was taboo, but after Lin Shiheng's words were spread, even if they were disgusted in their hearts, they would not say it in person and discuss it with others.

If they look down on others for their status, then what is the difference between them and the narrow-minded Hu Chuan.

Of course, no one would say the word "narrow-minded" in front of Hu Chuan. At most, they would mention it by the way when a few friends were together.

After getting along with each other, they also found that Zhao He was indeed a rare good friend. For example, he was good friends with Lin Shiheng and Lin Qinzhi. Brother Lin had been weak since childhood and it was inconvenient for him to go out. Brother Zhao would record every time they discussed and give it to Brother Lin to see.

If they really avoided such a passionate person because of his identity as a merchant, it would be really stupid.

As for Brother Lin, it made these candidates praise him endlessly.

Although he was not in good health and rarely attended their gatherings, the poems and verses that he asked Brother Zhao to bring were always excellent. It was a pity that he was not in good health. Every time they met, he was always pale and weak and coughed. The imperial examination was not a simple matter. Each candidate had a small cell, and they had to stay in it for several days in the ice and snow.

They felt cold when they were on the boat. The capital was many times colder than on the boat. In addition, in order to prevent zu0'b-i, except for food and clothes, the rest of the things during the imperial examination were provided by the court, so there were never too many braziers.

In the past, there were tragic cases where candidates caught cold during the examination and died before the results came out. It was inevitable that these candidates began to worry about Brother Lin, who was talented but in poor health.

When saying goodbye, Lin Shiheng, who was wearing a thick cloak given by Zhao Heyou and holding a hot water bottle stuffed by a candidate, was handsome but still pale. Several candidates suggested that he go to see a doctor and hinted that if he felt that he couldn't hold on during the exam, he should not force himself.

They said goodbye reluctantly here, while Hu Chuan and two classmates came down from the back and looked very unhappy when they saw this scene.

He was just a merchant and a sickly person, but he was so popular. It was ridiculous.

Thinking that it was because of what Lin Shiheng said before that the candidates on the boat thought that he was a person who was unwilling to admit his defeat, Hu Chuan's face became more and more ugly.

Looking at the scholars calling Brother Lin and Brother Zhao affectionately, he really couldn't hold back his anger. After some people left, he walked forward.

After a hypocritical greeting, he looked at Lin Shiheng, who looked pale and didn't look like he was in good health, "Brother Lin, are you feeling well? The examination will be held soon, and the weather in the capital is cold. If Brother Lin feels unwell, don't force it. Anyway, there will be another chance in three years."

As soon as he said this, Zhao He's face immediately fell.

Someone had just reminded Lin Shiheng that it was important not to hold on for his life if he couldn't hold on, but they were just a kind reminder, and they were deliberately oblique and said that they were afraid of triggering some bad omen.

Listening to what Hu Chuan said again, he was simply cursing Lin Shiheng for failing the exam.

He was about to speak, but his arm was grabbed by his friend beside him.

Wearing a white cloak and standing in the crowd of people disembarking from the boat in the background, the young scholar smiled warmly and his eyes were full of sincerity.

"What Brother Hu cares about is, don't hold on if you can't hold on. Everyone knows this, and I naturally know it too."

"Brother Hu can definitely pass the exam with his knowledge. It is fate that you and I can meet on this boat. If we can be not far from the exam room, then the fate will be even deeper."

Hu Chuan felt that there was something wrong with Lin Shiheng's brain.

Here he was insinuating that Lin Shiheng failed to pass the exam. Lin Shiheng said that he hoped to be close to him?

Thinking about what he had heard from people during this period that Lin Shiheng was a clear-minded person and liked to be kind to others, Hu Chuan, who didn't believe it at first, now felt that he should believe it.

Of course, in his mind, being kind to others and being mentally ill are the same thing.

"If that's the case, it's naturally good."

Anyway, having said the curse, Hu Chuan left directly.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with cursing people. It was a fact that Lin Shiheng was in poor health. He just said what was likely to happen, didn't he?

Waiting for Hu Chuan to leave, Zhao He looked at Hu Chuan's back indignantly. After enduring it for a long time, he couldn't hold it back anymore and asked his friend next to him, "Brother Lin, he is mocking you, didn't you hear it?" ?”

"We all worked hard to go to Beijing together to take the exam. Why do we have to make such an ugly scene? Brother Hu just said it. I won't lose any weight, so there is no need to argue with him."

Juren who was passing by happened to hear these words. Although he had not heard what Hu Chuan said before, he still knew what the two were arguing on the deck that day. He immediately slowed down his steps and pricked up his ears to try to listen. Come out and see what happened.

"Even so, he is going too far. It is so important to know how to take the test, but he wants to curse you for failing the test."

Zhao He was so angry that he wanted to smoke, "Brother Lin, you are too good-tempered, and you even talked about fate with him. Even if you are destined to be destined, it is still a bad fate!"

Facing Zhao He's anger, Lin Shiheng still smiled nonchalantly, with kindness and generosity written all over his face.

Under the sunshine, his magnanimity became even more extraordinary, "Okay, Brother Zhao, that's all he said, let's get to know each other, and you and he are classmates. If you pass the exam together, you can support each other in the future."

Zhao He was startled.

Brother Lin, after hearing such curse words, still held back and didn't care. Could it be because Hu Chuan was his classmate?

He felt moved and helpless at the same time.

Although Brother Lin has such a good character, it is easy to make friends with him, but if he is deliberately ridiculed by someone who is interested, it will make people angry on his behalf.

He wanted to say that he and Hu Chuan and others had never dealt with each other very well. Looking at the people coming and going around him, he still didn't tell the truth.

"Brother Lin, I will take the exam soon. My family has a house in the capital. If you live with me, you will save yourself the trouble of spending every day looking for a place to study."

Lin Shiheng waved his hand, his face full of embarrassment.

"It's so embarrassing. I can just find an inn to stay at. Why bother disturbing my house?"

Seeing his refusal, Zhao He was immediately moved even more.

Brother Lin endured Hu Chuan's bad breath for him and was so caring not to cause him any trouble. Naturally, he wanted to reciprocate the favor.

Thinking about this, Zhao He grabbed Lin Shiheng's arm and winked at the book boy, "That house has not been inhabited for a long time. It's still deserted when I live alone. I'd better trouble you, Brother Lin, to accompany me."

"How can I be so embarrassed? Hey, Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao!"

Several bookboys quickly followed, squeezing behind Lin Shiheng while pushing him forward and discouraging him.

"Mr. Lin, just go with me. We can't bear to leave Master Lin."

"Yes, it's lively when there are many people."

Seeing Lin Shiheng being "forcibly" taken to live in his home by his friends, several people sighed with envy.

"These are the best friends."

Compared to staying in an inn with a lot of people, it is naturally more comfortable to stay in a friend's house, where you can study and wait for the test in peace.

The days when Lin Shiheng lived in Zhao He's house and waited for the imperial examination passed quickly.

The two read books together every day, but because of "physical reasons", he could only get up during breakfast time and rest after the sun went down.

Zhao He, who struggled to get up before dawn every day to study, not only didn't feel anything was wrong, but also sympathized with his friend who had lost so much study time in vain.

The day before the trial, the book boy who knew how to cook excitedly brought a box of things coded into small cubes to show them to the two of them.

"Mr. Lin, I have done everything you asked me to do."

Zhao He curiously went over to take a look, and saw small red and oily pieces inside, and was a little confused.

"What is this?"

"Back to the young master, Mr. Lin told me to boil some kitchen seasonings and lard together and let them dry. When they are put into the pot again, they will be boiled again. Even those who are not good at cooking can use it to cook. Even if you cook, you can make a very good taste.”

As he spoke, he couldn't hide his excitement and added, "Master, haven't you always been worried that you won't know how to prepare your own meals during the test? Then you only need to add a piece of this thing."

Zhao He thought thoughtfully and his eyes gradually brightened, "It is indeed a good thing. I was very hungry during the last provincial examination, so I tried to cook by myself but couldn't control it well. I thought I would have to drink water again in this examination. After eating cold and hard food for a few days, I didn’t expect such a good thing. I don’t know how Brother Lin came up with it.”

Lin Shiheng smiled sheepishly, "It's not a good idea, and it's hard for Brother Zhao to praise it like this."

"By the way, are the copper beads ready?"

"It's ready, it's still burning!"

When he talked about copper beads, Zhao He looked even more excited than before.

I don’t know what Brother Lin was thinking, but he actually came up with the idea of ​​throwing the copper beads into the charcoal fire and grilling them, and then bringing them to the exam. In this way, the copper beads could maintain their temperature for a long time after being burned by the fire. Although it will still cool down later, it can still keep them warm for a while.

"I really didn't expect that the capital city would be so cold. Hey, although my elders have been to the capital city before, they all came here wearing thick warm winter clothes and sitting in sedan chairs. If I hadn't listened to Brother Miao and the others a few days ago, they would have tried the environment. It’s really possible to go in and catch the cold without any preparation.”

Lin Shiheng smiled, "Brother Miao has elders in his family, so he naturally knows about these matters. In the future, when Brother Zhao gets married and has children, he can also tell him this."

Zhao He waved his hand, "Stop joking, let's get through it ourselves first."

"Brother Zhao, bring more of this. If the copper beads are no longer hot, you can burn them in water and drink them. Gastrodia elata and some seasonings that can make people heat are added to it. It can at least counteract it."

"By the way, if Brother Zhao meets Brother Hu and the others, he should also ask them if they want it."

Zhao He's eyes twitched, "Brother Lin, my relationship with Hu Chuan is really not good. If I ask them, they will definitely not want it."

Lin Shihengwen smiled and said, "We are classmates after all. If I get something new, I will naturally ask about it. Brother Zhao will listen to me."

Zhao He didn't want to hear it.

Sometimes he really felt that Brother Lin was good at everything, but his temper was too good.

They were all bullying him, and he actually thought of asking them if they wanted something new.

I'm afraid even a saint can't do this.

Oh, that’s true.

A person like Brother Lin, who is kind and easy to bully, has no idea what kind of wife he will marry in the future.

Zhao He was thinking about it, and suddenly he remembered that it was now popular to catch sons-in-law. Good-looking young students like Lin Shiheng were the most dangerous. With his appearance, he was almost caught when he was admitted to the Juren Examination. If he goes away, wouldn't Brother Lin be even more dangerous?

When they were looking at the list, they sat in the inn and asked the book boy to look at it and then come back to inform them.

On the last day, the two went over the knowledge points that they thought they were likely to get in the exam. Finally, they went to the exam room fully armed.

There were soldiers checking one by one. According to the regulations, the small pieces they brought, which Lin Shiheng named the hot pot base, were also poked open with chopsticks for careful inspection. The copper beads were specially designed to be able to be removed as soon as they were held in their hands. The skilled craftsman touched and touched it again and again, and only returned it to them after confirming that it was solid and could not be opened by hand alone.

The clothes and mattresses they brought were cut open one by one to confirm that nothing was stuffed inside. The examinees were also inspected. After such a strict inspection, the examinees entered the examination room one after another.

Lin Shiheng saw Hu Chuan, who was right next door to him.

The young and handsome scholar wearing furry clothes courtesy of Zhao He walked very politely behind Hu Chuan who was opening the door and saluted.

"I've met Brother Hu."

Hu Chuan's clothes had been cut open just now, and he was freezing all over when the wind blew. When he heard someone calling from behind him, he turned around and saw Lin Shiheng's face full of kindness.

"Brother Hu, the people around Brother Zhao used seasonings to make a good soup base, which can also dispel wind and cold. I brought a lot of it. Brother Hu, do you want to try it?"

Hu Chuan looked at Lin Shiheng in front of him warily.

Did someone around Zhao He do it?

If so, what good thing would you give yourself?

There must be some fraud!

He refused with a serious face and alert eyes.

Seeing his refusal, Lin Shiheng showed a little regret in his eyes, "Then I will return to my seat."

Seeing the regret in his eyes clearly, Hu Chuan became more convinced that Lin Shiheng wanted to do something to harm himself.

He did know that there was a man who was staying at an inn who was poured cold water on his head while he was walking on the road. In such a cold winter, even if his grades were acceptable, he might not be able to survive the exam.

After Hu Chuan found out about this, he immediately stayed in his room and even his two friends disappeared.

Although this kind of thing reminded him of the time when he hired a carriage to deliberately attack Zhao He during the examination, he only felt a little panic but not disgusted when he did it. When it was his turn, he knew that he might also be done like this, and he felt in his heart. I felt very depressed.

If possible, he would like to do this to Zhao He, a guy who is obviously a lowly businessman but always puts him down. Unfortunately, Zhao He lives a luxurious life and actually has his own house in the capital.

Since he himself thinks this way, he will naturally also think about other people's intentions.

How could Lin Shiheng be so kind to share something with him? There must be some fraud!

He refused very firmly. When the exam started and everyone answered the questions quietly, Hu Chuan still felt proud of his tact in rejecting the plot.

When it was time to eat, he took out the millet he had brought with him and sprinkled it into the pot of boiling water without being very skillful. He waited for it to be cooked, but suddenly his nose smelled a very fragrant smell.

Hu Chuan originally couldn't feel the hunger in his stomach because he was so nervous doing the questions before. He just wanted to cook some porridge to fill his stomach. However, as soon as he smelled this smell, his stomach, which had not reacted before, immediately started to growl.

Hungry, so hungry.

What the hell is this? It smells so delicious.

Hu Chuan was hungry in the front, and Lin Shiheng in the back looked at the gurgling hot pot water, tearing open the big cakes he brought and putting them in one by one.

It smells so good.

Hu Chuan stared blankly at the pot of clear rice porridge in front of him, which was thin due to the lack of rice. He was thinking about what it was, when he suddenly heard Lin Shiheng behind him, who seemed to have eaten something. A sigh came from his throat.

“It tastes really good.”

His voice was so soft that no one heard it except Hu Chuan who was nearby.

Hu Chuan didn't want to hear it either. His growling stomach seemed to have awakened his hungry cells in an instant, urging him to eat. However, his porridge hadn't been cooked yet, and the smell kept coming from behind him. Hu Chuan gritted his teeth and poured some water to drink from the alluring aroma.

While drinking, he thought, he was not an extravagant and wasteful businessman like Zhao He. Even if he bought all those fancy things, what was the use? Could it be possible that he could get good grades by eating delicious food?

Just as he was thinking this, the same fragrance came from in front of him.

Then, the Juren sitting in the front room also sighed softly, "Sure enough, my whole body feels warm after drinking it."

After Lin Shiheng asked him if he didn't want it, he also asked Juren, who was sitting in front of Hu Chuan, and he wanted it.

If it was just a guess before, then after hearing this sentence, Hu Chuan was already sure that this scent was the new thing Lin Shiheng said before.

Hu Chuan originally didn't believe it when he said it was delicious and could make people feel warm after drinking it. He felt that this person was exaggerating and there was no way there could be such a magical thing.

But the student in front of him only had a few friendships with Lin Shiheng, so it was impossible for him to hide in the dormitory and say such things on purpose.

Hu Chuan shook his cold hands that were slightly stiff from holding a brush for writing for a long time. He smelled the aroma coming from the next door and swallowed hard.

It smells so good, I really want to eat it.

no!

He must not be as degenerate as that merchant in Zhao He. They are scholars and should be diligent and frugal in the first place. What is the use of creating such a thing!

it's useless!

Lin Shiheng, who was in the back room, ate two pieces of flatbread, filled up a bowl of soup, and put it in his mouth.

"Suck..."

"Suck..."

Hu Chuan heard the sound of people drinking soup coming from the waiting room behind him, and then the sound of young people sighing because of the delicious drink.

"Um……"

on purpose! !

He must have done it on purpose! !

How can anyone eat so loudly? !

Just as Hu Chuan was thinking this, he suddenly heard Lin Shiheng's soft voice muttering to himself from behind, "Add a little more meat, um... the food is ready to eat."

"Suck it... it's so delicious."

Hu Chuan sitting in front of his own pot of porridge "..."

He was already directly sure that the person behind him did it on purpose.

It’s definitely intentional! !

But even if he knew that Lin Shiheng did it on purpose, Hu Chuan could not do anything.

Although there are people patrolling outside to prevent the candidates in the exam from talking, Lin Shiheng spoke so quietly. Since there was no movement outside, it meant that the patrolling soldiers did not hear it at all. If he came to the soldiers now, not only would he be unable to produce evidence, but , and it will also make the examiner think that he is a troublesome person.

How could he want to leave a bad impression in front of the examiner when he was just a small official?

Thinking like this, Hu Chuan reluctantly suppressed the urge in his heart to rush to the back and roar, and quietly waited for his porridge to be ready.

Perhaps knowing that he had reached the end of his patience, Lin Shiheng behind him did not make any more noise. However, he did not make a sound, but the fragrance continued to float into Hu Chuan's room.

How come it smells so good!

The white porridge was finally ready. Hu Chuan was so hungry that he quickly filled a bowl and drank it regardless of how hot it was.

The warm white porridge entered the stomach along the intestines, and the coldness all over his body seemed to have been dissolved. Hu Chuan sighed with contentment, and was about to drink it when he suddenly heard something rubbing behind him. The sound of moving forward.

He turned around strangely and found a bowl of hot red oil soup with flatbread soaked in it and even a few green vegetables. It looked very delicious.

A white and slender hand was slowly pushing the bowl of soup on the ground. Through the narrow gap under the room that could only be seen with eyes, Hu Chuan watched with his own eyes as the other hand took the spoon. I scooped out a spoonful of soup that was still smoking, and it tasted very good.

The next second, a familiar voice came from behind again that made Hu Chuan despair.

"Suck!"

"Hmm...suck it!"

Hu Chuan almost collapsed while holding the white porridge in his hand.

All speculations were completely useless at this moment.

He could directly confirm that Lin Shiheng did it on purpose, otherwise who would put the bowl on the ground and push it so close to him!

Hu Chuan forced himself to look away from the bowl. Even though his mind was filled with the delicious soup in the bowl, and the aroma in his nose could almost drive people crazy, he still had to be strong. Tell yourself in your head.

Don't be fooled. Just eating is nothing.

He tried hard to brainwash himself for a few minutes. After feeling that his mind had calmed down, he took another sip of the white porridge from the bowl.

As a result, when I drank it, I only felt blandness in my mouth.

Especially with the fragrance wafting from the front and back.

After Hu Chuan finished the porridge, he was not very hungry anymore. After trying hard to convince himself not to fall into the trap, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and continued to answer the questions.

At night, Hu Chuan was shivering from the cold, sleeping in a daze, his hands and feet were cold and he could only curl up, but he smelled the fragrance again in his sleep.

When Hu Chuan woke up with his stomach growling seduced by the scent, he almost thought he was still dreaming. The firelight next door told him that this was reality.

Lin Shiheng! Actually! In the middle of the night...eat! East! West!

Hu Chuan looked numb. He stood up and rummaged through his package. He found a piece of cake that had gone cold for a long time. Smelling the fragrance, he gnawed the cake in his hand with difficulty to fill his stomach before forcing himself to fall asleep. , but in my sleep, I was always hung up by that fragrance and could not sleep peacefully.

He was greedy during the day, was greedy at night, and was very cold. It is conceivable that Hu Chuan did not do very well in the exam.

When he walked out of the room and stood in the sunshine, he could smell the stench on his body and could hardly move his eyes.

Lin Shiheng, who was also in high spirits after staying up for many days, came out wearing a big cloak. The man in front of Hu Chuan had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw him coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Brother Lin!"

He saluted and said with gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you so much for the base ingredients you gave me. These days, whenever I feel cold, I cook a pot of it. As expected, my body no longer feels cold after drinking it, and it tastes very good."

Even after staying up for many days, the young Juren, who still looked clear and handsome, smiled gently after hearing the return gift, "Why be so polite? We all came together to try it out. You may not know whether we will be colleagues in the future."

"I still have to thank Brother Lin for his generosity..."

While the two were talking, Hu Chuan on the side walked over with bloodshot eyes after hearing their voices, and stared at Lin Shiheng with eyes filled with hatred.

"Lin Shiheng!! You and I have no grievances, why do you want to harm me!"

The young Juren looked confused, "Brother Hu? What kind of statement are you talking about... eh!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed back a few steps by the emotional Hu Chuan, and immediately covered his mouth and coughed weakly.

"Hey! What are you doing! Where did Brother Lin offend you? Before the exam started, he even asked you if you wanted any information. How can you repay kindness with hatred? It's not what a scholar does!"

The man in front of him was thanking Lin Shiheng. When he saw this scene, he immediately stepped forward with indignation and blocked the young man who was pale and coughing.

Hu Chuan was so angry that his brain was filled with blood. "He, he deliberately used food to seduce me and make me not concentrate..."

"Nonsense! It was you who Brother Lin asked for the first time before! I can see clearly that if you hadn't asked for it, Brother Lin wouldn't have come to ask me if I wanted the information!"

"You didn't do well in the exam but you blame the innocent Brother Lin. How can there be such logic in the world!"

"me……"

Hu Chuan was panting so hard that he felt like he was going to vomit blood...

A smell of fishy sand came out of his throat.

Hu Chuan stretched out his hand and wiped the blood from his hand.

No, he has already vomited blood.
