Chapter 42: Changing

Shen Jun picked up his coat and handed it to her. “Change out of your clothes and put on mine. If they’re waiting for you downstairs, you’ll be walking right into their trap.”

Wen Nian looked at Shen Jun with gratitude. Thoughts from her past were still intertwined in her mind, making it difficult for her to think clearly. She had even overlooked critical details, but Shen Jun’s reminder had saved her.

Therefore, Wen Nian didn’t hesitate to change her clothes. She took off her hoodie and began to put on Shen Jun’s coat. Shen Jun felt a bit nervous and quickly averted his gaze, but he couldn’t help but notice his reflection in the TV wall and realized he was overthinking things.

Wen Nian also had a short-sleeved T-shirt inside as a foundation.

She neatly folded the sweater and put it inside her backpack, then put on Shen Jun’s jacket. The clothes were slightly oversized, and Wen Nian looked a bit awkward in them.

Shen Jun chuckled when he saw Wen Nian wearing his clothes. “This is the smallest piece of clothing 1 have.”

Wen Nian shook her sleeve, which was longer than her arm, and found it funny. Then, she thought that she seemed a little heartless to leave directly. If not for Shen Jun’s help today, it was hard to say what would have happened. The Wei family’s grandfather and grandson were very ruthless.

…..

Wen Nian thought about Shen Jun’s monotonous diet and wondered if he preferred that sort of food. So, she asked, “You helped me so much today. Would you like me to cook dinner for you as a thank you?”

Shen Jun’s eyes lit up. “Sure! I’m tired of eating sandwiches.”

When Wen Nian heard this, she became curious and asked about her doubts. However, when she learned that Shen Jun had chosen to eat sandwiches because he didn’t have much money, she looked at the luxurious house that many ordinary people might not be able to afford in their entire lives and became even more puzzled.

However, since it involved other people’s privacy, Wen Nian felt embarrassed to ask too much. So, she took the initiative and suggested, “Then I’ll make some dumplings for you. It’s good to change your taste occasionally, and it’s not healthy to keep eating outside all the time.”

Shen Jun was happy to accept the offer, so he readily agreed. Since there was nothing in the fridge, they both decided to go to the supermarket.

As they left the apartment building, Shen Jun had a sense that someone was observing the neighborhood from a high place, even though he didn’t see anyone. The feeling of being watched was quite strong.

Fortunately, Wen Nian had changed into Shen Jun’s clothes and had let down her hair, which she had previously tied up, so she didn’t attract much attention.

There was a large supermarket not far from the neighborhood, and Wen Nian picked out the fresh ingredients with ease. Shen Jun trailed behind her, pushing the cart, and asked curiously, “Do you cook often?”

Wen Nian glanced at the young master who didn’t know the hardships of the commoners and replied, “It’s alright. When my parents are busy with work, 1 have to cook by myself.”

Shen Jun nodded in understanding. It was similar to how he had no choice but to give up on delicious food and stick to sandwiches three times a day due to his financial situation.

After purchasing the ingredients, they headed back home together. Since the meat filling from the meat grinder was not chewy, Wen Nian had certain requirements for cooking it. Therefore, she declined the supermarket’s offer to grind the meat for them and insisted on taking it back to chop it herself.

Shen Jun had never cooked before and felt a little embarrassed to see Wen Nian busy preparing the meal. He politely asked, “Is there anything I can do to help you?”

If it had been her partner, Wen Nian would have likely started bossing them around in the kitchen. However, she was grateful to Shen Jun for offering to help, so she didn’t want to burden him. “That’s okay, no need. 1 can handle it myself. You can go ahead and do your own thing,” she said kindly.

Upon hearing Wen Nian’s response, Shen Jun didn’t insist on helping any further. He turned around to attend to his own tasks.

Wen Nian had been busy in the kitchen for over three hours, carefully wrapping and storing more than a hundred pieces of three different types of stuffing in the refrigerator. The amount of food she had prepared was enough to feed Shen Jun for a week or two.

After washing her hands and drying them with a tissue, Wen Nian stepped out of the kitchen and asked Shen Jun, “You do know how to cook dumplings, right?”

Shen Jun paused for a moment and replied, “1’11 search online.”

Wen Nian was also stunned and smiled helplessly. “Alright, contact me on WeChat if you don’t understand.”

Zhou Mei had already gone to bed at home, and when she woke up and stepped out of her bedroom, she accidentally bumped into Wen Nian. She took a quick glance at Wen Nian’s outfit and asked in confusion, “That doesn’t look like your clothes. Whose are you wearing?”

Wen Nian quickly found an excuse and slipped into the room.

Wen Nian noticed a faint scent of cypress wood emanating from Shen Jun’s clothes, and out of curiosity, she brought them to her nose and took a sniff. After realizing what she had done, she felt embarrassed and foolish. Her face turned red, and she quickly removed her coat and placed it on the nearby desk.

Wen Nian composed herself and took out a history book to study for the upcoming test, focusing on memorizing the test venue..
