Guan Jiyu saw the person clearly. The confused expression on his face disappeared in an instant, and his eyebrows relaxed.
Xiao Qingyuan was still beside him, but Guan Jiyu resisted the ridicule and didn't want to be defeated. He replied: "What? If this is my child, do you still want to be the godfather?"
Jiang Yingnian looked at Xiao Qingyuan carefully again and said loudly to Guan Jiyu: "I have some similarities with you, but I was just joking. How old are you! If we look like sisters, why should we take it so seriously?
Well."
He grinned, with a sly smile in his eyes, and said: "If you have a child, why should I be Lao Shizi's godfather? I think it's more appropriate to be my biological father!"
Jiang Yingnian's joke made not only Guan Jiyu dumbfounded, but also Xiao Qingyuan on the side, who was shocked and looked at Guan Jiyu in disbelief, saying: "Oh my god, Mr. Guan, you lover, what are you talking about?"
Wild enough and manly enough!"
Guan Jiyu was already embarrassed by Jiang Yingnian's words "Be a biological father", and when he heard Xiao Qingyuan's explosive "You lover", he was so shocked that he could not speak.
"Ahem." Guan Jiyu coughed dryly and quickly waved his hand to explain: "Xiao Qingyuan, this is Mr. Jiang in the army. We are just colleagues, not lovers as you said."
Xiao Qingyuan didn't accept this trick. She came forward and stared at Guan Jiyu's face carefully, and said in surprise: "Huh? Mr. Guan, are you very hot? Why are you blushing suddenly?"
"Nothing." Guan Jiyu was almost overwhelmed by this child, so he quickly changed the subject and asked Jiang Yingnian: "Why are you coming here alone so late? How is the situation in the east?
?Does the general know you are coming?"
Jiang Yingnian picked his ears and said with a helpless smile: "Oh, I haven't heard you nagging like this for a long time. You are so kind."
He still looked relaxed and said: "Don't worry, I just think that the situation in the east is relatively stable at the moment, so I asked the general and I for a day off to come and see you."
Guan Jiyu said uncomfortably: "Okay, you must have felt uncomfortable being under the nose of the general, so you just wanted to sneak out and relax. You even asked for a day off to come see me. How can I have that honor?"
?”
Seeing her disbelief, Jiang Yingnian raised the black square box in his hand and said, "If you still don't believe me, you will know later."
He waved his hand to Xiao Qingyuan on the side and said: "Children, don't listen to the adults' affairs at this late hour. Go back to bed quickly. I want to lock the adults out with you for a while."
Xiao Qingyuan curled her lips, and her eyes revealed Xiao Jiujiu's eyes, "Okay, okay, we are both people who have to work hard in love, so I won't disturb your studies!"
After saying that, she yawned and went back wisely.
Leaving Jiang Yingnian and Guan Jiyu behind in the night, he looked down at Guan Jiyu and said, "What, Mr. Guan, can you follow me now?"
"Where to go?"
"I said you would know later, but why are you still so unromantic?"
"Because there is no romance between you and me."
Guan Jiyu couldn't help Jiang Yingnian persuading and pulling her. There were soldiers watching at the door, so the pulling and pulling had a bad effect, so she agreed and went out together.
The two of them walked along the Yanjiang Corridor towards the branch of the Hechiliu Kingdom in the west. As they walked, Jiang Yingnian smacked his lips and said with emotion: "This place is indeed no different from what Brother Helan said in the letter."
Guan Jiyu said: "You wouldn't pull me out in the middle of the night just to inspect the terrain here with you, right?"
Jiang Yingnian raised his eyebrows and said, "Thankfully you are still the consul of Yanjiang Corridor. Isn't this the consciousness you should have had in the first place?"
Guan Jiyu said: "During this period, Helan has been responsible for exploring the geographical extension. As for me, I am responsible for staying in the main city and taking care of some city affairs."
Jiang Yingnian picked up a few wooden sticks, stopped and sat down on the spot, saying: "This is enough."
As he spoke, he placed the black square box in front of Guan Jiyu, raised his chin, and said, "Okay, now you can open it."
Guan Jiyu pointed at himself and said, "Me?"
Jiang Yingnian said: "Otherwise? Apart from you and me, is there anyone else here?"
Guan Jiyu had no choice but to squat down and carefully open the lid of the black square box.
I was originally worried that this might be another prank by Jiang Yingnian. He loved playing tricks on people, so if something strange suddenly came out when the lid was opened, it would be bad.
Guan Jiyu held his breath and carefully opened the lid. Inside was a portion of food in a porcelain bowl.
She didn't even need to move the closed bowl, but she could already smell the sweet smell of glutinous rice.
Jiang Yingnian had already lit the fire and looked at her expression quietly with a smile.
Sure enough, a look of surprise appeared on Guan Jiyu's face. He held the square box and raised his head to Jiang Yingnian and said, "It's eight-treasure rice! Where did you get it? Is the food in the east of you already so good?"
Jiang Yingnian smiled lowly and said: "How is it possible? How could there be these things in the army? The people at the eastern border gave a portion to the general. The general didn't like eating these sweet and greasy things, so he gave it to him after changing hands.
Got me."
He stretched out his hand to help take it out and put it on the simple rack he had prepared to heat it up. He said, "This is just one portion. I thought someone seemed to like it too, so I didn't have the nerve to eat it all alone."
Guan Jiyu said in surprise: "It takes at least half a day to come from the east. You come all the way here just to deliver this eight-treasure rice?"
"What else?" Jiang Yingnian's face was flushed by the firelight, and his eyebrows were deep and handsome. He said leisurely: "Fortunately, the weather is still cold at the moment, otherwise this thing can't be put away, and it will spoil if you don't eat it in time.
Lost it."
He said it very indifferently, and Guan Jiyu was inexplicably moved after hearing it.
Jiang Yingnian turned over the firewood to make the fire burn more vigorously. Seeing that Guan Jiyu was silent for a long time, he glanced at her expression and found that she looked absent-minded and thoughtful, and asked: "What? I'm so moved."
Are you speechless?"
Guan Jiyu glared at him and denied: "What's this? You didn't do it yourself. If you had made it yourself and sent it to me, maybe I would be moved."
"Okay." He kept turning the firewood in his hands and said seriously: "Next time I have the opportunity, I will learn it specifically. Once I learn it, I will cook it for you."
After the cold eight-treasure sweet rice was heated, the rice aroma became even richer. Guan Jiyu sighed: "Oh, how can I be so lucky that our third son can make it for me with his own hands?"
She paused and said, "Did you never even take a look at the eight-treasure rice I gave you that year?"
Jiang Yingnian didn't react for a moment and asked in confusion: "What?"
Guan Jiyu reminded: "That year, it was your birthday in Zui Qinglou." She coughed uncomfortably again and said, "I didn't go there empty-handed, and I don't know if you have eaten."
"Oh!" Jiang Yingnian suddenly realized, suddenly remembered this past, and affirmed: "I ate it! Why didn't I eat it?!"
Guan Jiyu teased: "There were so many people at that time, but you didn't even look at it when I put it there. Later, I got drunk and didn't know anything. Who knows whether you really ate it or pretended to eat it?"
Jiang Yingnian's face flushed slightly, and she said firmly: "I will definitely eat it! Whoever lies to you is your grandson!"
"Uh-huh." Guan Jiyu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "It seems to be hot, why don't you take it off?"
Jiang Yingnian quickly took out a handkerchief from his arms and carefully took it out with the bowl on his back.
"Oops, I forgot to take another empty bowl." Jiang Yingnian patted his head and only watched Guan Jiyu run out in a hurry, but he forgot to take the bowl.
Guan Jiyu pursed his lips and said, "There is only one pair of chopsticks in this food box... How are we going to eat?"
"It's easy!" Jiang Yingnian picked up the chopsticks and said, "You eat with the head of the chopsticks, and I eat with the tail of the chopsticks. Neither of us will touch the other's side."
As he spoke, he picked up the end of a chopstick, put it to Guan Jiyu's mouth, and said: "Open your mouth——"
Guan Jiyu was naturally not used to such intimate movements, so he unconsciously moved back and said seriously: "I'll do it myself."
Jiang Yingnian had no choice but to hand the chopsticks to her. Seeing her take two bites, he quickly grabbed the chopsticks and said, "It's my turn, it's my turn!"
He turned his chopsticks over, picked up a large chopstick head with the tail end, ate it very sweetly and said, "I'm so hungry, I finally had this bite."
After taking two bites, he picked it up with the end used by Guan Jiyu and handed it to her mouth. Seeing that she still wanted to refuse, Jiang Yingnian urged: "Eat quickly, it's so cold, and you have time to control it."
The sweet rice is already cold, how can I still eat it?"
Seeing that she was still hesitant, Jiang Yingnian smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, I know your heart is not with me, and I don't have any other intentions."
Guan Jiyu had no choice but to stretch her head and eat the delicious food he gave her.
"You're still talking about me. I don't even know whether you really ate or pretended to eat what I gave you!" Jiang Yingnian watched eagerly as she finished eating, then picked up a chopstick for herself and chewed.
While complaining.
Guan Jiyu said: "Are you blind? Am I not eating right now?"
Jiang Yingnian cut out another large chopstick and put it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "That's not what I'm talking about. Just when we were in the Beizhong concentration camp, you suddenly fell ill. I was afraid that you would die of illness in Beizhong."
Woolen cloth!"
"It took a lot of effort to get a thin chicken. I asked the chef to make chicken soup for you and put it at the door. I forgot to ask you if you drank it?" Jiang Yingnian looked at the bowl and said
With the last candied date left, he picked it up with his fingers and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
"This candied date is the sweetest. I'll give it to you."
The things he mentioned inadvertently made Guan Jiyu's body go cold. Soon, an indescribable heat rebounded from her body.
Surprised? Ashamed? Or embarrassed.
She didn't know, it was a very complicated feeling.
After he stuffed it into his mouth, he said that the candied dates were really sweet, soft and glutinous, and Guan Jiyu chewed them numbly before his body regained its original consciousness.
For so long, she had always thought that the cup of clear chicken soup was sent by Xiang Lincheng.
She would never think of the fragrance that she couldn't help but recall day and night, the care and sincerity that she thought she would never forget.
They all come from Jiang Yingnian.
Guan Jiyu moved his neck with difficulty and looked at Jiang Yingnian with a complicated expression.
Jiang Yingnian didn't notice anything strange about her, and was only slightly surprised: "No way, Guan Jiyu? Are you so indifferent? If I hadn't seen that you were dying of illness, I wouldn't have secretly climbed over the wall to the back mountain in the middle of the night to help you
You catch the chicken!”
He was still mumbling: "But the snow was really heavy that night. If you haven't been to the back mountain, you don't know how thick the snow is!"
Guan Jiyu didn't notice it herself. At this moment, she looked at the person in front of her carefully with a look she had never seen before.
"Yingnian." She tried her best to search her mind and thanked her seriously: "Thank you. Actually, when you don't hate it, it's pretty good."
Jiang Yingnian had just eaten the last bite of leftover rice, and he couldn't help but made a "pop" sound and said: "You are really good. This is the first time I have heard someone thank someone so much."
He rolled his eyes at Guan Jiyu speechlessly and said, "When you are not annoying, you are also very lovable."
