81: Chapter 81 Revenge Attempt Fails, Instead She's Gently Controlled

Early morning.

The scent of food wafted from the kitchen.

Shen Muyan wore a light pink apron, a spatula in her hand as she gently flipped the eggs in the pan.

Since moving in, she had arranged to add some pots, bowls, and ladles. Occasionally, she and Jiang Jinyue would make breakfast together, which was always more comforting than eating takeout every meal.

Especially that "One Thousand Years of Death" from last night... Thinking back on it, she regretted it so much her intestines were almost turning green.

Watching Tang Luochuan's expression of utter despair, a sense of shame engulfed her like a tide.

That was the first time in her life she had ever played such a prank on someone, and it was on her own boyfriend, no less.

With her heart full of guilt, she wanted to make it up to him properly.

"You broke into my heart just like that, it was you who made me see flowers blooming in the parched desert~~~"

The girl hummed a song while flipping the fried eggs in the pan.

Suddenly... a chill ran down her back. Her sixth sense told her: there is danger.

She hurriedly turned around. Tang Luochuan was half-crouched, having quietly snuck up behind her. He wore the same mischievous smile, his hands forming the gesture for the One Thousand Years of Death.

"Tang Luochuan! You can't bully me like this!" The girl instinctively raised the spatula to defend herself.

Shen Muyan was terrified. A wave of shame surged up instantly, and her cheeks burned hotly.

The courage she had to provoke him last night was gone, leaving only the panic of being retaliated against.

"I'm a girl~~ you can't do this!"

Her voice trembled; she was scared! As she spoke, her eyes began to redden. This was even more shameful and unacceptable to her than living together or getting a hotel room.

But she also regretted it—why did she provoke him like that last night?

She really deserved it!!

"I'm a girl... I was wrong..."

The girl subconsciously took two steps back, her back pressing tightly against the cold stove.

"Why didn't you say you were a girl last night? Let me return the favor, and we'll be even."

"I beg you."

"No, turn around, stick it out..."

"I... you're bullying me..."

"You were the one who bullied me first!" Tang Luochuan pressed his advantage, though how could he ever actually poke her like that?

Shen Muyan felt like someone with a phobia of needles about to have their blood drawn.

Scared, panicked, yet she had no choice but to face it.

"Just... just once, be gentle."

"Heh!" Tang Luochuan hadn't expected her to actually agree.

As she spoke, Shen Muyan turned the heat on the stove down, bent over slightly, and stuck out her little perky butt. "You aren't allowed to go too far... From now on, I... I won't bully you like this either. This behavior is strictly prohibited from now on! It's not allowed to happen again..."

After finishing, she squeezed her eyes shut and whispered to herself: "I'm really scared, take it slow~"

Then she took a deep breath, waiting quietly for the attack!

"Smack."

A crisp sound rang out. The expected stinging sensation didn't come; the boy gently patted her butt. "Alright, I won't tease you anymore! We'll call it even this time! You girl, you're quite wicked."

Shen Muyan opened her eyes abruptly. It took her a few seconds to react, then she straightened up instantly, turned around quickly, and covered her butt.

Shame, relief, and grievance were intertwined. She looked at him in panic, her voice laced with tears: "You bullied me~"

The girl's voice was very soft. She wasn't sad, but rather seeking comfort.

"I was wrong!" Tang Luochuan quickly pulled her into his arms. "Alright, big sister, it was my fault..."

The girl didn't resist at all, burying her head against his chest to seek comfort.

Tang Luochuan smelled the fresh fragrance in her hair, then suddenly frowned. "What is that... burning??"

"Oh no, it's ruined!" Hearing this, Shen Muyan quickly broke free and looked at her pan.

Even though she had turned the heat to the lowest setting, the fried egg had long since turned into black charcoal.

...

There was definitely no way to eat the meal.

The two bought some bread and milk to stave off their hunger for breakfast.

They were running a bit late, so they hailed a taxi outside and headed straight to the high-speed railway station.

Once they arrived at the station, Shen Muyan got out of the car quickly with her backpack on.

Tang Luochuan followed behind, and the two hurried toward the station.

Passersby involuntarily turned their eyes toward the pair; the boy was handsome, and the girl was even more beautiful.

But most weren't just looking because of their appearance, but rather to see a joke.

"They must have woken up late and are rushing to catch a train."

"These young people, every single one of them! I've seen several couples like this today..."

Fortunately, they made it in the end, and the two stood in the main hall.

"Luochuan! Kiss!" Shen Muyan looked at her ticket; they had ten minutes left before boarding.

She wasn't an overly open girl by nature, but thinking that this parting would last for 7 days, she felt a bit reluctant.

Tang Luochuan froze for a second, then immediately leaned his face over.

Shen Muyan stood on tiptoe and left a kiss on the boy's cheek. "See you after the National Day holiday!"

"Okay!"

After a simple farewell, Tang Luochuan waved his hand.

The girl also waved back and walked toward the ticket gate...

As ticket checking began, Shen Muyan looked at Tang Luochuan and suddenly noticed something wrong.

Behind the boy, there was another person.

That person, dressed in high-profile luxury clothing, was staring fixedly at Tang Luochuan.

Su Wantang!!

Shen Muyan hurriedly pointed behind him, and Tang Luochuan looked in the direction she was pointing.

Upon turning his head, he saw Su Wantang's almond-shaped eyes.

She was looking at him blankly.

"I... you..." Tang Luochuan just felt it was very strange; how could he run into her here?

Since he had seen her, he had to say hello at least. Tang Luochuan nodded slightly. "Hello!"

"Hello... what a coincidence." Su Wantang was clutching her ticket. Her makeup was very light today, and her hair was no longer so flowing, giving her a more homey feel.

She was also much more pleasing to the eye.

Tang Luochuan asked, "Are you going out to play?"

"Yes! Traveling!"

"Where to?"

"Quanshui City..."

Tang Luochuan: "..."

Isn't this his hometown? This woman had asked him where his hometown was, so she was clearly prepared.

But how could she know he was leaving today? This ticket was something he had just booked last night.

Could it be a coincidence? Or should it be called fate?

Tang Luochuan turned his head to look at the other ticket gate. Shen Muyan was checking her ticket over there and even made a face at him.

"Are you going home?"

Su Wantang started the conversation; she had come specifically for Tang Luochuan.

She just hadn't expected him to be here too; it really was a coincidence.

She had originally planned to send him a message after arriving, pretending to ask him where the fun places were and letting him help with recommendations.

Who would have thought they would meet right here.

"I... um..." Tang Luochuan didn't know what to say; this was just too coincidental. "Which train are you on?"

Su Wantang handed him her ticket. "Take a look."

Tang Luochuan looked at the text on the ticket, slowly closed his eyes, looking incredulous. Two seconds later, he opened them again. "Heh... the carriage is the same too..."

"Eh??" Su Wantang's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: "God... are you helping me!?? "
