“You passed?” Ye Muyu reacted instantly. She grabbed his shoulder happily. She couldn’t believe it. She repeated, “Really?” What’s your ranking?”

“Second place.” Seeing her so happy, Chu Heng, who did not care much about the results, also became happy.

If he had known that Ah Yu would be so happy when he passed, he would have gotten first place.

“Are you disappointed that I didn’t get first place?” Chu Heng could not help but ask.

Ye Muyu shook her head crazily. She could not stop smiling. “How can that be? Second place is already very impressive. The imperial examination is so difficult. Ahhhh, you’re so amazing.”

“Really? Did you only know about my abilities?” Chu Heng looked at her with his smiling black eyes and said something meaningful.

Ye Muyu’s face turned red. She could not afford to offend the man. She pretended not to understand. “I’m going to make sweet potatoes and chrysanthemum cakes today. I’ll cook a bowl of birthday noodles for you later.” She then went to the kitchen.

Chu Heng followed her into the kitchen. Seeing the unfinished chrysanthemum cake on the chopping board, he walked over to help.

Ye Muyu added fuel to the fire and took out the dried noodles from the cupboard.

She did not like to have to knead dough every time she ate noodles. It was very troublesome, so she simply made noodles at once and dried them.

However, she still had to make birthday noodles again. She and Ziluo would accompany Chu Heng to eat noodles at noon.

“Did anything happen to you on the way? You’ve already spent your birthday outside. I’ll make you some noodles to make up for it.” Ye Muyu felt that Chu Heng probably did not celebrate his birthday. How could staying outside be more comfortable than staying at home? Moreover, he had to find evidence of the Wang family’s crime. Even if he went to the prefecture city, he would have to study every day to prepare for the exam. The exam was even more difficult. With such a nervous state, how could he be in the mood to celebrate his birthday?

“Nothing happened. It’s all in the past.” Chu Heng did not plan to tell her about the hardships of the process, so as not to worry her.

“As for you…” Chu Heng’s eyes were fixed on her. His face was full of worry.

“Don’t take any risks next time. Even if Han Zhuang dies, he will save you.”

“I… I was just thinking of taking the opportunity to capture that group of people. Moreover, there were too many people at that time. Lil’ Jin’s safety was the most important. If they captured me, they wouldn’t chase after Lil’ Jin anymore.” Ye Muyu felt a little guilty, especially when she saw Chu Heng’s dark eyes. It made her feel like she had done something wrong to him.

“I won’t let you take any more risks in the future.” Chu Heng was a little regretful. He regretted that he had not made sufficient arrangements, which was why the accident had happened. He frowned slightly.

Ye Muyu did not even have time to breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that he was blaming her again, she could not help but feel sorry for him. She walked over and reached out to caress his face. She said with a relaxed expression, “Don’t blame yourself. I’m not blaming you either. You’ve already done very well.”

“Besides, there are always surprises in any plan. Just try your best. I’ll protect myself too. See, I’ve already made preparations.” Ye Muyu said seriously.

Chu Heng hugged her waist and buried his head in her neck. He hugged her silently for a while.

Ye Muyu patted his back and comforted him silently.

“Ah Yu, thank you.”

“Alright, I’ll make it for you right away. Go and rest after you’re done eating.” Ye Muyu saw the exhaustion on his face and stopped him from helping.

Chu Heng sat obediently at the side, his face full of smiles. He felt that all the fatigue was worth it.

Soon, Ye Muyu finished cooking a bowl of birthday noodles with two fried eggs on top.

Chu Heng did not stand on ceremony and finished his meal quickly. Ye Muyu told him to go rest. They could talk after he woke up..
