Chapter 189 Something went wrong
Shen Jingxuan stepped forward and came to Xie Lingxiao's side. When she saw clearly what Xie Lingxiao was looking at, Shen Jingxuan finally laughed out loud.
"Hahaha..." Shen Jingxuan laughed so hard that tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
She really couldn't figure out what the black thing on Xie Lingxiao's plate was.
Didn't they say they cooked the noodles? Could it be that they didn't even add water and just baked the noodles?
Shen Jingxuan never expected that Xie Lingxiao, who was so meticulous in everything he did, could actually cook such dark dishes.
Xie Lingxiao angrily pulled Shen Jingxuan up and pushed her back into the room again, refusing to let her out no matter what.
"You are not allowed to come out without my consent, otherwise I will punish you." Xie Lingxiao glared at Shen Jingxuan and left angrily.
He is the regent who can go to the battlefield and kill enemies. I don’t believe he can’t make a bad bowl of noodles.
After a long time, just when Shen Jingxuan could no longer bear the roar of her stomach, the door was finally opened.
Shen Jingxuan ran out the door anxiously: "Ah Xiao, are you okay?"
She was so hungry that if things got any worse, she decided to just do it herself.
"Okay." Xie Lingxiao pulled Shen Jingxuan, pressed her down on the chair, and brought out the fruits of his labor.
What surprised Shen Jingxuan was that just by looking at the appearance, it was impossible to tell that it was made by a beginner.
But with the psychological trauma just now, looking at the noodles in front of her, Shen Jingxuan suddenly felt a little full.
Seeing Xie Lingxiao looking at her expectantly with his dark eyes, Shen Jingxuan tried hard to shift her gaze back and continued to stare at the face in front of her.
After a fierce inner struggle, Shen Jingxuan gritted her teeth, picked up the chopsticks, closed her eyes and put the noodles into her mouth, as if she was sacrificing a heroic death.
The moment the noodles entered her mouth, she didn't even dare to chew them and swallowed them quickly.
There was no strange smell and the taste was just right, so Shen Jingxuan started eating with confidence.
At this moment, she was still a little scared. She was really worried that under this beautiful appearance, the taste would be hard to swallow.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan eating happily, Xie Lingxiao gradually felt relieved after being worried for a long time.
"Xuan'er, is it delicious?" Xie Lingxiao seemed unsure and sought Shen Jingxuan's confirmation.
Shen Jingxuan didn't bother to speak, she just nodded and ate the noodles in the bowl quickly.
Seeing Xie Lingxiao looking at her tenderly, Shen Jingxuan picked up some and handed them to him: "Ah Xiao, try it, it's delicious."
Xie Lingxiao was extremely happy to receive Shen Jingxuan's praise, as if all the efforts he had just made were worth it.
He moved closer to Shen Jingxuan, took the noodles she handed to him, and savored them carefully.
Although he was not very satisfied with the taste, Xie Lingxiao felt that if he made it a few more times, he would definitely do better than this time.
Seeing Shen Jingxuan eating happily, the smile on his lips lasted for a long time.
The two of them finished the bowl of noodles together, and Shen Jingxuan took Xie Lingxiao out of the space.
Shen Jingxuan looked at Xie Lingxiao in confusion: "Ah Xiao, why did you take out these books?"
Those books didn't really have much use for her, but for a man, they didn't seem to be of much use either.
"Take it back and have a look." Thinking of how satisfied Shen Jingxuan was with the meal just now, Xie Lingxiao decided to go back and study it carefully.
Shen Jingxuan's almond-shaped eyes flickered slightly, but she did not expose him and let Xie Lingxiao take the book away.
The next morning, the rain that had been falling for two consecutive days finally stopped last night, and today was a rare good day.
The sun outside gradually rose and the warm sunshine fell down.
Shen Jingxuan got up early and came to Qinxin Garden, waiting for the time to come so that she could send Shen Xinglin to take part in the imperial examination.
She had just sat down when she heard footsteps outside the yard.
Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen came into the room hand in hand.
Shen Jingxuan stepped forward: "Grandfather and grandmother, you are here."
"Xuan'er is up early today, can you have breakfast?" Old Madam Shen patted Shen Jingxuan's hand gently.
Shen Jingxuan pulled Madam Shen to sit down: "I haven't eaten yet, I'll eat with Lin'er later."
Maybe Shen Xinglin was reading last night, or maybe he was too nervous to sleep. For some reason, he hasn't gotten up yet.
When Mrs. Shen mentioned this, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She knew how important this matter was to Shen Xinglin, and he would not delay it for anything.
But he didn't show up for a long time, which made Shen Jingxuan feel very anxious.
Thinking back to the past, if she had come at this time, Shen Xinglin would have been waiting in the yard, and Shen Jingxuan could no longer sit still.
She stood up and walked towards Shen Xinglin's room: "Grandpa and grandma, I'm going to see Lin'er."
Shen Jingxuan walked out after she finished speaking. As soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Hao coming towards her.
"Mom, where is Lin'er?" Shen Jingxuan asked anxiously.
Hao was walking absent-mindedly and was startled by Shen Jingxuan's sudden voice.
Seeing that it was her, Mrs. Hao managed to raise the corners of her lips: "Xuan'er, Lin'er said he would be here in a while."
After she finished speaking, she continued to walk into the room. She knew that Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen were inside, so she had no choice but to go forward and pay her respects.
Shen Jingxuan blocked her way: "Mother, what happened to Lin'er?"
From the moment she saw Hao, Shen Jingxuan knew that something must have happened, otherwise Hao's expression would not be so ugly.
Hao's eyes were evasive, not daring to look Shen Jingxuan in the eye, for fear that telling the truth would displease Shen Xinglin.
Thinking of Shen Xinglin's repeated instructions, Hao said with a stiff upper lip: "He's fine. Please get out of the way. I'll go and pay my respects to your grandparents."
As Hao spoke, she walked forward and pushed Shen Jingxuan aside. She lifted her skirt and continued walking.
Hearing the conversation between the two, Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen came out.
Mr. Shen was puzzled: "What happened? Where is Lin'er?"
There is not much time left before the scientific expedition.
If we delay any further, there will be more people gathering in front of the examination room, and it will be difficult to get through the crowd and enter the examination room.
Mrs. Hao lowered her head and said, "Lin'er will be here soon."
No matter what, she would help Shen Xinglin.
Although she felt sorry for Shen Xinglin and was worried about him, she had no choice but to listen to Shen Xinglin.
Shen Jingxuan and Old Man Shen looked at each other, and both found that something was unusual.
Old Master Shen raised his chin slightly towards Shen Xinglin's room, and Shen Jingxuan disappeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Although Old Madam Shen was anxious, her eyes lit up slightly when she saw Shen Jingxuan disappear in the blink of an eye.
When she was young, she envied women with such skills, but now she envies her granddaughter.
Shen Jingxuan arrived outside Shen Xinglin's door in just a few breaths.
Looking at the closed door, Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but frown.
She walked forward and knocked gently on the door, but no one answered for a moment.
But she clearly heard a slight noise in the room just now.
After a while, Shen Jingxuan pushed open the door and walked into the room, but she did not see Shen Xinglin.
Shen Jingxuan walked into the inner room and visited each room one by one.
It was not until she came to the door of the ear room and clearly heard the sporadic sounds coming from inside that Shen Jingxuan slowly let go of the worry that had been weighing on her for the whole morning.
