Chapter 942 The Ghost and the Old-Fashioned Scholar (13)
Wen Yanci amplified all his desires, igniting them completely with Shen Shuyi, and the two didn't fall asleep in each other's arms until the middle of the night.
The next morning, he woke up and looked at Shen Shuyi's peaceful sleeping face, his mind uncontrollably filled with memories of the previous night.
He imagined Yiyi clinging to his neck with both hands, her body rising and falling with his movements.
That feeling from Wen Yanci came back again.
He took a deep breath, quickly closed his eyes, and dared not look at it for even a second.
But the images in my mind became even clearer.
He finally supported Shuyi's waist, took deep breaths, and helplessly picked up a handkerchief to wipe Shuyi's back.
Thinking about how he had dirtied her back, Wen Yanci blushed shamefully.
Shen Shuyi was half asleep when she heard rustling sounds.
She opened her eyes and was met with Wen Yanci's flushed face. She asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing?"
Wen Yanci hugged her tightly, buried his face in her neck, his ears burning, "It's nothing."
"Yiyi, are you tired? You can sleep a little longer, and I'll get up and make breakfast."
Shen Shuyi is a ghost, how could she be tired?
But since Wen Yanci wanted to prove herself, she naturally had to give him that opportunity.
When Wen Yanci got up and dressed, his gaze remained fixed on Shen Shuyi's sleeping face. Her dark hair was loose, her eyelashes were long, and her ample bosom was half-hidden under the thin blanket when she turned to the side.
Even when she's asleep, she's so beautiful.
After he finished dressing, he couldn't resist bending down and kissing Shen Shuyi's forehead.
……
With beautiful women by her side, the days flew by, and soon it was two days before the provincial examination.
Seeing Wen Yanci studying, Shen Shuyi suggested, "Brother Yanci, are you nervous? Shouldn't you relax a bit before the exam?"
“Okay.” Wen Yanci nodded immediately.
Shen Shuyi hugged his arm, "Then shall we go out and have some fun?!"
I want to buy two pieces of clothing.
She glared at Wen Yanci, "It's all your fault for being so impatient! You tore my pocket!"
"I'm sorry, Yi Yi." Wen Yanci's face flushed red, and he stammered.
"I'll go buy it for you right now!" He quickly took out an oil-paper umbrella and opened it.
Shen Shuyi hid back inside the hairpin. "It's sunny outside, I'll go inside and hide for a bit. You can help me choose clothes later."
"Okay." Wen Yanci still took the umbrella, just in case Shuyi wanted to go for a walk.
Their residence was not far from the market. The clothing shop was located on Dongjie Street, the most bustling street in Quanzhou, where people came and went and shops lined the streets.
As the provincial examination approached, the city became even more bustling.
With a clear goal in mind, Wen Yanci walked into a clothing store.
Seeing his refined manners and extraordinary demeanor, the waiter quickly came to greet him.
"Please come in, sir. We've just received our newest satin."
Wen Yanci simply said he would take a look first, then walked to the ready-to-wear section for young women and asked Shen Shuyi in a low voice, "Yiyi, what color do you like?"
"This pink suits you very well, do you like it?"
Shen Shuyi made a sound from inside the hairpin, "Okay."
"Oh, right, Brother Yanci, remember to buy me some underwear."
Wen Yanci blushed, but he still straightened his back and told the waiter frankly that he wanted to buy clothes for his wife.
Hearing him address her that way and seeing her favorability rating rapidly increasing and almost reaching its maximum, Shen Shuyi was in a great mood.
When Wen Yanci saw those elegant or alluring pockets, his face turned even redder.
Shen Shuyi teased him on purpose, "Oh dear, which one should I choose? Brother Yanci, please help me."
Wen Yanci recalled the scene on the bed, when he had ripped off the pockets and thrown them on the floor, and then coughed lightly and chose two similar ones.
But then, as if possessed, he picked up a rather daring style. When he paid, the redness on his ears hadn't even faded.
As Wen Yanci was leaving the store and preparing to go home, he unexpectedly ran into the same group of scholars who had once stayed at the haunted house together.
The person opposite him called out to him first, "Brother Wen?!"
"Brother Wen, are you alright?" Liu Yong looked Wen Yanci up and down.
Zhang Qian rubbed his chin with his fingers and pondered, "Why do I feel that you look more and more refreshed, Brother Wen?"
“Indeed, Brother Wen, you look quite rosy-cheeked. That’s strange,” Li Yu asked curiously. “Brother Wen, have you perhaps gone to work as a retainer for a wealthy family?”
The three of them asked Wen Yanci questions one after another, and Wen Yanci, who was holding an umbrella, said: "I still live in the same house as before."
"What?!" Everyone was stunned. "No way, Brother Wen, you actually dared to live in that haunted house?!"
They all thought Wen Yanci had gone mad.
"Brother Wen, you...you're not possessed by a ghost, are you?"
Wen Yanci was stunned for a moment, and his ears turned red because he heard Shuyi whispering to him.
"Brother Yanci~ Tell them, you're not possessed by a ghost, you're possessed by a ghost~"
Wen Yanci's cheeks burned. "Brother, you jest. I'm quite comfortable living in that house."
“Brother Wen, we saw you walking this way earlier, talking as you went, with a smile on your face.”
“But you’re all alone, and you’re talking to yourself like this. Even if you’re not possessed by a ghost, you’ve been cursed. You have your exams in a couple of days, so you should go to a temple and find an abbot to exorcise the evil spirits.”
"That's right! I see that Brother Wen's rosy complexion is a sign of a final burst of energy before death, which should not be ignored. If it waits any longer, it will be too late!"
Wen Yanci didn't know how to explain, so he could only offer a few polite words, wish them success in the imperial examination, and then said he had to go back to study and took his leave.
On the way home, Shen Shuyi teased Wen Yanci a few times with a smile, making the scholar blush.
The scholar wasn't innocent either; he was the fiercest one last night!
Shen Shuyi felt it was perfectly reasonable for her to make a few jokes.
Back home, she couldn't wait to try on the clothes, only to find that she couldn't fit into any of them.
"Brother Yanci, come in for a moment."
Wen Yanci pushed open the door and entered. "All changed?"
Seeing Shen Shuyi's aggrieved little face, she said, "I can't wear it."
"What's going on?" Wen Yanci stepped forward, picked up the clothes, and tried to put them on Shen Shuyi, but they fell to the ground as soon as he put them on.
Seeing the disappointment in Shen Shuyi's eyes, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her, saying, "I'll think of something."
"How about this, I'll burn your clothes for you."
Shen Shuyi lifted her head from his embrace. "Is it okay?"
"I'll give it a try." Wen Yanci took the newly bought clothes, went to the yard, and called Shen Shuyi's name as he lit the clothes to burn.
As Shen Shuyi listened to his devout voice and looked at the man's gentle face in the firelight, her heart softened.
Until the fire went out, Shen Shuyi found several sets of clothes floating down in front of her, covering her entire body, or rather, her entire ghost.
Wen Yanci breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and smiled as he took off the clothes from her body. "Great, did you receive them?"
"Okay! I'll try it on!" Shen Shuyi happily changed into the new clothes and twirled around in front of Wen Yanci when she came out.
"How about it?"
Wen Yanci stepped forward, hugged her tightly, and spun her around a few times. "You're very beautiful."
"Yiyi has a face as beautiful as a flower and the moon, and is a beauty that rivals the heavens."
Shen Shuyi kissed him on the cheek, "I really like all the clothes that Brother Yanci picked out!"
Wen Yanci lowered his head and kissed her hair. "Would the pocket fit too?"
Shen Shuyi wrapped her arms around his neck and asked in his ear.
"Brother Yanci, would you like to see it for yourself?"
