Stealing Your Heart

She repeated, “Are you sure you are fine?”

He was so self-conscious when she demonstrated such great care that he wanted to disappear into a hole.

He drank some cold water and reassured her. “I’m fine.”

She relaxed slightly upon hearing that. Suddenly, she remembered that there was a new toothbrush that she wanted to pass to him. “You can use my cup,” she remarked. With that, she left him to freshen himself up as she cooked eggs. By now the porridge was already done.

As they ate, she asked, “Do you want to eat the chicken?”

She gestured to the chicken tied at the front door. “The chancellor gave it to you. They treat you really well,” she said.

Just yesterday, someone had gifted them a huge watermelon, and today, they had received a chicken.

Shen Peichuan knew that the villagers made such nice gestures because of Sang Yu. He began to eye her intently. She is so kind and genuine. Not only that, but she also isn’t scheming at all.

As he was in Wang Wen’s clothes, she bought new clothes for Wang Wen based on his size, because didn’t want Shen Peichuan to owe Wang Wen any favors.

After they returned home and placed the items in the house, they headed to school to distribute the necessities that she had bought for the students.

Wang Wen was also there, so she passed him the new clothes. “Thank you for lending us your clothes,” she said.

Wang Wen didn’t take the clothes. Instead, he uttered, “It’s just a set of clothes. They aren’t worth much and there is no need to buy me new ones.”

“It is necessary,” she said as she passed him the clothes again. “Although I’m not wealthy, my boyfriend and I do not want to act like freeloaders.”

She wanted to make herself absolutely clear because Wang Wen had a crush on her and she had to return his favor. If he didn’t feel that way for her, she would have returned his favor in another manner.
