NFBE Chapter 120 Awakening of Self-Awareness
Chapter 120 Awakening of Self-Awareness
Yu Wan was shocked by the thoughts that popped into her mind.
If Wang Wanshu is truly a fictional character manipulated by the plot, then what about the male lead Yun Shang and Prince Chen, whose behavior is completely inconsistent with the original story?
Could it be that they...?
Have I awakened my own consciousness?
The more Yu Wan thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
The things Wang Wanshu is doing now can no longer be described as unintelligent; they're practically a forced reduction in her intelligence.
This doesn't seem like something a person with a brain would do.
Yu Wan lay on the table, lost in thought.
Therefore, they did not notice Yun Shang, who had been standing quietly at the door for quite some time.
He stood sideways outside the door, his dark, deep eyes fixed on Yu Wan inside the room.
The girl lay on the table, her chin resting on the back of her hand, her facial expressions vivid and varied.
One moment he'd be frowning, the next his eyes would be wide open, then he'd be staring blankly; his facial expressions were so varied that no two were ever the same.
Yun Shang felt a strange itch in her heart.
Her appearance made him very curious.
What the hell is she thinking?
"elder brother?"
A questioning voice broke the silence. Yunxi stood behind Yunshang, puzzled as to why he stood at the doorway instead of going in.
Why are you standing at the door and not going in?
Hearing the sound, Yu Wan, who was inside the room, was jolted back to her senses.
Turning her head, she met Yun Shang's deep eyes.
Yu Wan was stunned for a moment by the beauty filter.
Yun Shang noticed her dazed expression and couldn't help but smile slightly.
He strode into the house without looking back, leaving Yunxi behind with only one sentence: "I have something to do. Go back to your room and play."
Yunxi: "..."
No, is she some three-year-old?
He even told her to go play by herself, as if he was afraid she would delay his business.
Yunxi thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to the door, where she saw her sister-in-law sitting inside.
She couldn't help but laugh, and was about to tease her brother when, before she could even open her mouth, the door slammed shut in front of her.
Yunxi: "..."
Now that you have a sister-in-law, you've forgotten about your younger sister, haven't you?
Yu Wan, who was inside the house, also saw Yun Xi and subconsciously said to Yun Shang, "Why are you closing the door? Yun Xi is still outside."
Yun Shang walked towards her, taking off his outer robe as he went, and asked in a calm tone, "Does she want to come in and sleep with us?"
Yu Wan's pupils dilated in shock, and she thought instinctively.
Sleep? How do I sleep?
Should I sleep with a vegetarian or a meat-eater?!
She felt that Yun Shang was becoming increasingly bold and unrestrained in his speech; he would never have said such explicit things before.
Furthermore, in the original novel, the male protagonist Yun Shang never said such a thing to the female protagonist.
The male lead, Yun Shang, is the epitome of aloofness and restraint! Even when he's making love with the female lead, he can still maintain a cool and unchanging expression.
Yu Wan suddenly realized that the Yun Shang of today seemed to be getting more and more different from the Yun Shang in the original novel that she remembered.
So, in this book, are there really any two-dimensional characters who awaken self-awareness?
Yu Wan's thoughts kept wandering.
Yun Shang stared blankly at her, then stopped walking towards the bed instead.
Stop in front of her.
He reached out and tucked a stray strand of hair that had fallen across Yu Wan's face behind her ear, asking in a very natural tone, "What are you thinking about?"
"Miss you."
Yu Wan answered subconsciously.
Only after she said it did she suddenly come to her senses.
Looking up, she saw a hint of amusement in Yun Shang's eyes, his gaze towards her filled with teasing.
Yu Wan: "..." Listen to her sophistry!
“I was thinking about you… were you being too cold to Yunxi? You’ve been missing for almost half a month, and Yunxi was so worried about you.”
Yun Shang gave a calm "Mmm," leaned slightly closer to Yu Wan, and asked, "And you? Are you worried about me?"
His sudden approach made Yu Wan's heart skip a beat. The familiar cool fragrance invaded her territory, leaving her with only the person in front of her in her eyes.
Yu Wan nervously swallowed.
He stumbled and said, "I...you failed to escape because you were saving me, of course I was worried about you..."
Yun Shang seemed dissatisfied with her answer and moved even closer. "What are you worried about?"
Yu Wan's ears turned crimson.
Too, too close.
They were so close that if she tilted her head up, or he tilted his head down, they could kiss.
At this point, Yu Wan still didn't realize that Yun Shang was deliberately flirting with her; otherwise, all those erotic novels she had read would have been for nothing.
How could a modern person like her lose to a two-dimensional character in something like this?!
Yu Wan took a deep breath, looked up, blinked at him, and said, "I can't eat or sleep. I'm worried about you every single moment I breathe."
Let this two-dimensional character experience the impact of a modern, cheesy pickup line!
Yun Shang's eyes flickered slightly.
The unusual heat within his body surged up again.
He suddenly straightened up and put his outer robe back on, as if he had just remembered something.
Her tone suddenly turned cold. "Well, it's almost time for dinner. Let's go eat."
By the time Yu Wan slowly came to her senses, Yun Shang had already opened the door and walked out.
Yu Wan: "??" What's going on?
What did he want to do when he came into the house? Was he going to flirt with her and then run away?
Or was it her cheesy pickup lines that shocked him? Yun Shang wasn't buying it.
Yu Wan felt like her brain couldn't keep up; her head was full of question marks.
……
Shen ordered a large meal to be prepared.
Celebrating Yu Wan and Yun Shang's safe return home.
At the dinner table, she kept putting food on Yu Wan and Yun Shang's plates, as if to confirm that they had really returned safely.
Yu Wan and Yun Shang both saw the worry hidden beneath Shen's smile, and without tacit agreement, they did not refuse. Whatever Shen put on their plates, they ate.
After finishing the meal, Yu Wan was completely dazed.
Yun Shang poured her a cup of tea to aid digestion.
When Madam Shen saw this, she smiled with a loving expression.
“Mother,” Yun Shang said, her gaze falling on Yu Wan, “I went to see Prince Chen today. Prince Chen wants me to participate in next month’s imperial examination. I have already agreed and will depart no later than ten days from now.”
The smile on Shen's face froze.
Yu Wan also looked up at Yun Shang curiously, and their eyes met.
Her cheeks flushed a few degrees, but she didn't look away.
The imperial examination system was mentioned in the original text.
To fill vacancies, exams are held irregularly and without specific direction.
"The Imperial Examination..." Shen murmured. Coming from a prominent family, she naturally knew about the Imperial Examination.
The advantages and disadvantages of the examination system are also clear.
She would have preferred her son to take the imperial examinations, but now... perhaps it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to take the special examinations and get an official position sooner.
Madam Shen nodded, "Alright, if you want to go, then go. I support you."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yu Wan and winked at Yun Shang, "But right now, the thing you should ask for most is not your mother's opinion."
Yunxi nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, brother should ask sister-in-law's opinion."
Yu Wan: "..."
There's absolutely no need for that! Her opinion is unimportant!
Three pairs of eyes simultaneously turned to Yu Wan.
Yu Wan immediately smiled and said, "I think it's no problem, absolutely no problem. A man should be ambitious, right? I support Yun Shang."
A slight smile appeared in Yun Shang's eyes. He nodded and said calmly, "Alright, since you have no objections, then come with me to the capital."
what?
Yu Wan was completely shocked.
