Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Don’t Let Me Wear The Green Hat (2)_1

"I’ve already applied the medicine!" Shen Songming hurriedly corrected himself and flashed her a grin, "It just hurts. You really went all out, didn’t you? I’ve heard you’ve been discussing marriage like you can’t wait to break my bones! People with dark hearts really do have cruel and heartless methods!" He spared no effort in slandering Mo Heng in front of her.

It was clearly he who, upon hearing about Mo Heng proposing, nearly broke the man’s bones.

"It’s truly a pity you’re not a sycophant!" Pei Qin said to him and walked straight past him into the house.

Pei Yuan watched and then went back to fetch some bowls of cool white jelly.

Shen Songming looked at Pei Qin with a grievance, "I haven’t eaten yet."

"Is there any leftover rice at home?" Pei Qin turned her head to ask Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan sighed and glanced at Shen Songming, "...There’s none left!"

"Pei Qin, you heartless thing! I’m a patient here! An injured person! You don’t feel sorry for me, and now you want me to eat leftovers?" Shen Songming was so angry he wanted to jump up and down.

"There are no leftovers, so you should go back to eat!" Pei Qin picked up the cool white jelly, steaming with cold, and poured a spoonful into her mouth.

If only he could beat her, Shen Songming really wanted to devour her in one bite!

Seeing his face turn sour with anger, Pei Qian coughed and said, "There’s still some rice left from lunch. I’ll go make some fried rice for Brother Songming!"

Shen Songming didn’t speak, his eyes filled with grievance as he stared at Pei Qin.

Pei Qin ate a bowl of cool white jelly with serene composure and then resignedly went to the kitchen.

A smile involuntarily spread across Shen Songming’s face, and he stood up to follow her to the kitchen.

Pei Qin cracked an egg over the rice, chopped some meat and tender corn, and stir-fried a plate of rice.

Shen Songming happily sat by the table with his fried rice, gobbling it down with big mouthfuls, looking blissfully content.

The young master had just finished off two plates of pastries. Shuang Xi watched him swiftly clean up a plate of fried rice and couldn’t help feeling a bit heartbroken. The young master should just marry Ms. Pei! After spending so much thought, if he couldn’t marry her, how pitiful would the young master be?

"It’s a bit dry." Shen Songming finished eating and fixed his gaze on Pei Qin.

Initially, he just wanted to see if she would react, but to his surprise, Pei Qin turned around and poured him a cup of cold tea. Shen Songming downed two cups of the tea and then sidled up to chat with her, "I’ve brought quite a lot of crystals this time! Take a look, and see if you can make them into bracelets, necklaces, and jewelry!" He called for a guard to bring over the chest he had brought.

First, there was a pile of foods and mooncakes, little trinkets for Pei Yuan and the Little Radishes.

Then he took out a box of crystals and opened it for Pei Qin, "Look at this Blue Crystal, deep and penetrating blue, like a Kashmir Sapphire. I haven’t found anyone to cut it yet; I’m afraid those people might ruin it, so it’s yours to turn into a necklace. There’s also this yellow crystal; the color isn’t pure, but it’s large enough to make a crystal carving decoration. These small pieces of white crystal, just take them for fun! These things aren’t worth much now, hardly anyone is willing to buy them!"

Pei Qin picked up the largest piece of white crystal, "How big can these get?"

"You’re thinking of making crystal eyeglasses?" Shen Songming quickly grasped her idea.

"Might be worth a try." Pei Qin nodded.

Shen Songming’s handsome face turned grim, looking at her with disapproval, "You’re not planning to make it for that blind man, Mo Jiu, are you?"

"If it works out, I’ll make a telescope." Pei Qin retorted.

Shen Songming’s interest immediately peaked, "Great! I’ll find someone to give it a try, see if they can make a magnifying glass and a telescope. Do you know how to make it? I don’t!" As long as it wasn’t for Mo Jiu, it was okay!

Pei Qin didn’t believe such simple principles were beyond his understanding.

Seeing her skeptical look, Shen Songming shrank his neck, "I only know the basics, not the details! I haven’t studied these things before."
