Chapter 2192: Chapter 2192: Meng Yunzheng Activates the Invisible Switch
Ever since the last time the results were announced, Shu Yu, overwhelmed with excitement, kissed him once, he’s been seemingly activated, always asking if she felt excited.
Shu Yu resisted the urge to roll her eyes, but...
The carriage started moving, and there was silence outside. Shu Yu’s eyes turned, and she quickly leaned over, giving him a peck on the lips.
Before they could separate... they couldn’t. Meng Yunzheng was even quicker, lifting his hand as she leaned over, pressing the back of her head, pinning her against the carriage wall, deepening the kiss.
When they reached the small courtyard in the south of the city, Shu Yu got off with slightly flushed cheeks, catching Shuyou’s meaningful gaze.
Shuyou, being experienced, might not have reacted the first time, but now it was the second time, how could she not understand, and she teasingly glanced at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu coughed lightly, took Little Huohuo, and led the way inside.
With the last exam over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Daniu and Yuan Gui, along with a few others, were there, and they had a lively gathering that night.
Meng Yunzheng seemed to fully relax too, sleeping early that night, and the next day he unusually slept in, not rising even as daylight flooded the room.
Everyone assumed he was tired, so no one disturbed him, and everyone left quietly.
Shu Yu left him a note and went out, planning to buy some ingredients to reward him well.
She went with Little Song Le, heading to a large food market.
Shu Yu thought she arrived quite early, but didn’t expect to almost not get in. It wasn’t until she overheard passing locals that she remembered today’s market day.
She immediately regretted bringing Little Song Le out; the child’s still young, and getting squashed in the crowd wouldn’t be ideal.
Ying Xi hurried over, "Miss, let me carry Lele."
"Okay."
Shu Yu handed over the basket to Ying Xi, who lifted the child.
Little Song Le’s view widened considerably when he was elevated, and he quickly spotted someone not far off. He exclaimed, "Auntie!"
Shu Yu was taken aback, "What Auntie?"
Little Song Le pointed to the person at a distance, and Shu Yu looked over, indeed seeing a familiar figure crouched in the corner.
Wasn’t it Aunt Hong? In front of her were some fresh vegetables, which she seemed to have picked to sell for market day.
Shu Yu suddenly recalled when they first arrived in the capital, she had noticed Aunt Hong’s figure flash past, basket in hand; could she have been selling vegetables then too?
While pondering, they walked over to the corner.
Aunt Hong, sensing visitors, stood up immediately, greeting them, "Fresh spinach, I just picked them this morning, come..."
Before finishing her sentence, she froze upon recognizing the three standing before her, "Lady Lu, it’s you?"
Little Song Le, having come down from Ying Xi’s hold, hugged Aunt Hong’s leg, "Auntie, why are you selling vegetables here?"
Aunt Hong, smiling, patted his head, "These are home-grown, can’t eat them all, so I brought the extras to sell."
She glanced at Shu Yu’s basket, empty as she must have just arrived at the market.
Indeed, the spots inside cost quite a bit, and Aunt Hong, selling only small amounts, found a spot on the outskirts, so Shu Yu and the others encountered her immediately upon arrival.
