Judging from Shen Shulin's behavior after entering the house, there is no doubt that he loves Li Wutong very much.
Judging from Li Wutong's attitude towards him, this Princess Wuping should not look down upon such a noble son.
Wei Changtian didn't know the reason for this, but it was probably the case.
Since the two have this kind of relationship, why did Li Wutong take the initiative to ask to see Shen Shulin? And then you have to pick up food for yourself in front of the latter?
From common sense, there are only two possibilities for this move.
First, Li Wutong wanted to use herself as a shield to completely stop Shen Shulin from thinking about her.
But considering Li Wutong's identity, this possibility is not high.
Although the Shen family is considered a famous family in Da Feng, its status in Daning is still far behind that of "Liu Wei Xu".
In this case, Li Wutong could only say one sentence to refuse Shen Shulin. Why would he need to go to such trouble?
Therefore, everything Li Wutong did today was more like deliberately provoking a conflict between himself and Shen Shulin.
As for the purpose...
Although a bit naive, Wei Changtian always felt that Li Wutong wanted to tell him in this way——
I am not chased by anyone!
"..."
After Wei Changtian came to the conclusion, he couldn't help but feel funny in his heart, but considering that he was in Dafeng after all, he didn't want to give Li Wutong too much face.
However, the latter was unwilling to give up. Seeing Wei Changtian push the porcelain bowl away, he actually served him a bowl of fresh soup himself.
"Mr. Wei, let's have some warm soup."
"..."
First they were picking up vegetables and then serving soup. If Li Wutong hadn't called him "Master", anyone would have believed that she was Wei Changtian's wife.
After looking at Shen Shulin, whose face was ashen, Wei Changtian didn't reply, let alone drink the soup. He just poured a glass of wine and drank it alone.
The candles were brightly lit, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely awkward for a moment.
Fortunately, Wang Qixing quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said:
"Hahaha, it's all because the servants in the villain's house are so ignorant that they troubled the princess to entertain guests. The villain should punish himself with a drink!"
Putting Wei Changtian in the position of a "guest" and calling Li Wutong's behavior an "act of hospitality", Wang Qixing had obviously seen the trick, so he used this statement to save face for Shen Shulin.
"Gudu~"
He first drank a glass of wine by himself, and then had a glass of wine with Shen Shulin.
After two glasses of wine, the scene that had just happened was temporarily revealed. It seemed that even Li Wutong had forgotten what he had just done, and turned around to chat with Shen Shulin.
One of them loves to practice martial arts, and the other only knows how to read and write articles. They should have nothing in common.
However, what was unexpected was that Shen Shulin also knew some things about cultivation and some anecdotes about the world, so there was no silence.
I just don’t know if he deliberately learned about these things to please Li Wutong.
Alas, what a pity for the licking-dog heart in this world...
Looking at Shen Shulin, whose expression changed from gloomy to bright, with happiness all over his face, Wei Changtian poured another glass of wine, and while drinking, he wondered if Li Wutong would cause more trouble later.
And soon he knew the answer.
"By the way Shulin..."
I don’t know what topic was discussed over there, but Li Wutong suddenly smiled and said to Shen Shulin: "I remember that your poetry is excellent."
"Young Master Wei happens to be here right now, why don't you two compete?"
"..."
Hearing these words, Shen Shulin was stunned for a moment, secretly glanced at Wei Changtian, and after struggling for a long time, he shook his head with great bitterness and difficulty.
"Princess, Mr. Wei's poetic talent is well known to the world. I...I am ashamed of myself."
"You've never compared yourself with him, so how do you know you're not as good as him?"
Li Wutong smiled and said: "Besides, what happens even if you lose? I think no matter whether you are a martial artist or a scholar, you should not be afraid of losing."
"this......"
Shen Shulin opened his mouth and suddenly made up his mind under the encouragement from Li Wutong's eyes.
"Mr. Wei, since the princess has said so, I wonder if I can ask you for advice?"
Although he knew that he was no match for Wei Changtian, Shen Shulin's tone was very firm at this time.
He thought that Wei Changtian would definitely take this opportunity to humiliate him severely, and he was already prepared to bear the humiliation.
Unexpectedly, Wei Changtian just put down his wine glass and calmly shook his head.
"Mr. Shen, I won't compare with you."
"Why?" Shen Shulin was stunned.
"Because I can't compose poetry." Wei Changtian answered truthfully.
"Can't compose poetry?"
Shen Shulin frowned, and then he seemed to understand something, and his face instantly turned ugly: "Mr. Wei, I don't need your pity!"
"Yes, maybe even if I write hundreds of poems, I can't compare to one poem, Spring River, Flowers and Moonlight Night, but as the princess said, it doesn't matter if you lose?"
"I, Shen Shulin, am not so narrow-minded that I cannot afford to lose!"
"Could it be that... Mr. Wei thinks I'm not worthy of competing with you in poetry?!"
"..."
From Shen Shulin's perspective, Wei Changtian said he "can't write poetry" either because he felt sorry for himself and didn't want to compare, or because he looked down on himself and didn't bother to compare.
No matter which one of these two things it was because of, he was very angry. Plus, Li Wutong was watching from the side, so he definitely couldn't swallow this breath.
But regardless of whether he could swallow it or not, Wei Changtian had no intention of competing with him in poetry.
"Mr. Shen, I really can't compose poetry."
"If you insist on competing, then you will win today. No matter who asks you in the future, you can say that you beat me."
"Also, although I don't know what your relationship is with the princess, but there is a saying... forget it."
"Everyone, I'm full, excuse me."
Standing up with his fists clasped, Wei Changtian ignored everyone's reactions, said a few words and then pushed the door open and walked out of the dining room.
Looking at his leaving figure, Shen Shulin's face flushed slightly, Wang Qixing's face was full of embarrassment, but Li Wutong's expression had a hint of secret joy that could not be concealed.
Wei Changtian was defeated and his "big revenge was avenged."
After secretly rejoicing for a while, he realized that Shen Shulin beside him seemed to have just said something to him.
"Mr. Shen, what did you just say?"
"Princess, I, I just said..."
Shen Shulin took a deep breath and repeated tremblingly: "Wait, wait, would you like to go for a walk in the courtyard?"
"oh."
Li Wutong waved his hand, his attitude suddenly became several times more indifferent than before.
"I'm a little tired. You should go back to the house early."
...
Half an hour later.
After Wei Changtian left, Shen Shulin naturally lost his "use value", and the dinner also lost its meaning in continuing.
After the hasty ending, Shen Shulin was "driven" back to Shen Mansion with a disappointed look on his face, while Li Wutong happily prepared to go back to the house to sleep, planning to tease Wei Changtian about today's incident when he was on his way tomorrow.
But who knew she didn't have to wait until tomorrow, soon she saw the familiar figure from behind under an old tree in the courtyard.
"You go back and rest."
After explaining to the maids around him, Li Wutong sounded very proud when he walked to Wei Changtian.
"Master Wei, what are you doing standing here so late?"
"Is it because I can't write poetry and feel depressed?"
"..."
The courtyard is silent late at night, with the bright moon flowing across the sky and thousands of shadows across the sky.
Under the moonlight above his head, Wei Changtian turned his head and replied calmly:
"I’m waiting for you."
"Wait for me?"
Li Wutong never expected to get such an answer, and a blush suddenly flew to his cheeks.
"What are you waiting for me to do?"
"Princess, if I said something inappropriate before and hurt you, then I apologize to you."
Under Li Wutong's surprised eyes, Wei Changtian said slowly:
"I think you should probably apologize to Mr. Shen."
