Chapter 692: Chapter 531: After Crossing the Defense Line, Lin Xian is Truly Wonderful_2

Shen Chuwei generously praised, "They learn pretty fast, and the flavors they produce aren’t bad either."

Lin Xian glanced at the dishes in front of him, which were somewhat different from what Shen Chuwei had described—they lacked finesse in appearance.

"You’ve been teaching them culinary skills?"

"Not exactly teaching them on purpose; if they are willing to watch and learn, I just teach them along the way." Shen Chuwei smiled and pointed to the dishes in front of her, "Look, now I don’t have to cook myself to enjoy these dishes."

Lin Xian looked at the table’s spread again. It was an unexpected gain, and he lifted the corners of his mouth, the smile very faint.

The commotion in the room last night had been quite noticeable. Qin Xiao’s kung fu was not weak, and even from a distance, he had heard it.

Watching the warm scene before him, Qin Xiao believed that his Master would soon regain his memory, and he silently withdrew.

Shen Chuwei was genuinely starving; a bowl of porridge was quickly devoured, and she started on the small steamed buns, which disappeared in two bites.

When she had nearly eaten her fill, she slowed down, taking small bites of the Fried Dough Stick, and looked up at Xiao Jinyan with a smile that curved her eyebrows and eyes.

"Husband, you were quite forward last night. Have you accepted the fact that you are my husband now?"

Lin Xian was mixing his porridge, and upon hearing this, he almost choked on his porridge. Struggling to not let it come out, he coughed to ease the discomfort.

Shen Chuwei saw his flushed face, and quickly handed him some tea.

Lin Xian took a few sips of the tea with her help.

"Why such a big reaction? Last night, you were also..."

Lin Xian couldn’t hold back this time and spit it out directly.

Shen Chuwei quickly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe him off, fumbling in a fluster for a while, until Lin Xian stopped coughing and his complexion recovered.

Shen Chuwei couldn’t help asking, "Did I say something wrong?"

Lin Xian tried to calm himself down, "Have your meal, why talk about that now?"

Shen Chuwei, not giving up, pressed on, "So have you accepted it?"

Lin Xian, with his head down sipping porridge, was either too embarrassed or unwilling to answer.

Shen Chuwei pouted, "You weren’t like this last night. Last night, you..."

Fearing she would say something more, Lin Xian saw Meat Buns in front of him, picked one up with his chopsticks, and placed it in her bowl, "Eat the Meat Bun."

Shen Chuwei stared at the Meat Bun in her bowl, tightened her grip on her chopsticks and lifted them, looking up to see Xiao Jinyan with his head down drinking porridge, aloof and noble—a stark contrast to the man from the night before.

She took a bite of the Meat Bun, and looking back at Xiao Jinyan across from her, she huffed discontentedly, "Men really are scoundrels."

Lin Xian paused in his porridge-sipping, looked up confusedly at her, "What do you mean?"

"Not telling you," huffed Shen Chuwei, swallowing the rest of the Meat Bun in one bite.

Lin Xian: "..." day by day, spouting words that leave people baffled.

Princess Ouyang Leyuan dressed up especially for today. Already of high status, her living expenses were incomparable to ordinary nobles. She liked to wear red, which made her look enchanting and seductive.

She came in happily and then saw Lin Xian and Doctor Shen already there, her brow furrowing. Why so early in the morning?

When she looked at Lin Xian, she exclaimed with joyful surprise as she realized he could actually stand, "Young Master Lin, you can really walk now?"

Lin Xian looked up at Ouyang Leyuan and said in a gentle voice, "Yes, but not for too long."

Shen Chuwei: "..." The stamina displayed last night suggested anything but a short walking time.

"Then let’s go," said Ouyang Leyuan excitedly, moving forward and reaching out to loop her arm around Lin Xian’s but he subtly dodged, turning towards the table instead.

Ouyang Leyuan was left hanging in mid-air. Seeing Lin Xian turn and walk to the table, she did not think much of it and drew back her hand.

Once they were ready, Ouyang Leyuan led Lin Xian out.

Shen Chuwei immediately followed, but her overexerted legs were somewhat disobedient, causing her to lag a step behind.

After Lin Xian stepped out, he looked back and noticed that Shen Chuwei hadn’t kept up. Seeing her walking stance, he guessed the reason and waited for her.

Ouyang Leyuan noticed that Lin Xian had stopped and asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"

Lin Xian replied, "Wait for her."

Ouyang Leyuan glanced at Doctor Shen, irritated by his delicate and tender look, as if you could squeeze water from his face—annoyed by a man who looked like he was out to seduce others.

"Wait for him for what?"

Lin Xian explained, "She’s been here for a while now but hasn’t been out. It’s a good opportunity for everyone to go out together."

Ouyang Leyuan looked at Doctor Shen’s apparently fragile form with resentment. Turning to Lin Xian, her tone contained a hint of dissatisfaction, "But, my invitation was for you. Why bring him along?"

Shen Chuwei caught up and heard this, responding with a laugh, "It’s not just me ah, but also Third Master and little Master Wu Tan. The more, the merrier, right?"

Lin Xian’s expression darkened upon hearing this, not expecting Ouyang Jingyuan and Wu Tan to be going as well; undoubtedly, it had been her idea.

Ouyang Leyuan’s expression also soured; she had wanted to go out alone with Lin Xian, but now three more people were added. Could that still count as a date?

Ouyang Jingyuan and Wu Tan arrive in succession.

"Are you all ready?"

Ouyang Leyuan couldn’t help asking, "Brother, why are you going?"

Ouyang Jingyuan replied with a smile, "I’ve been bedridden for days. Now that I’m somewhat better, of course, I want to go out and have fun with everyone."

Ouyang Leyuan held in her annoyance, unable to voice her displeasure.

The horse carriage was very spacious, with more than enough room for five people.

Ouyang Leyuan wanted to sit next to Lin Xian; she waited for him to get in, but Ouyang Jingyuan stepped in first, sitting next to his sister.

Ouyang Leyuan became anxious upon seeing him sit, "Brother, go sit on that side."

Ouyang Jingyuan asked, "Why? Don’t you like sitting beside your brother?"

"No, I want to sit with Young Master Lin. Brother, go over there," Ouyang Leyuan pushed Ouyang Jingyuan, nearly shoving him across to clear a spot for Lin Xian.

...

Let me explain, as some readers are wondering why the male lead shared a room with the female lead despite not yet remembering? First, the male lead only lost his memory, his intellect is still intact. With the he had and the evidence before him, it’s impossible not to be suspicious, moreover with his confused memories, he had long been doubting his own identity. Not remembering the female lead but still falling for her all over again, after spending time together and deducing from his suspicions, the male lead gradually went from doubting to accepting, though he hasn’t said so out loud. The female lead isn’t foolish either, she can feel from the details that the male lead is starting to accept her. When two people truly love each other, a single kiss is enough to feel the other’s affection, and sharing a room happened naturally, it’s not far-fetched at all.
