Chapter 234: Sense of Ritual

Who stipulated that the sense of ritual can only be given by men to women?

As long as you want, women can also give men a sense of ritual.

So on the way to the military district office building, Ruan Anan picked a lot of wild flowers as she walked.

The average temperature of Nansha Island is above 25 degrees all year round, which means that it is an island with flowers blooming all year round.

The wild flowers on the roadside are tenacious. Although the flowers are not as gorgeous as those in the flower shop in the previous life, each one is unique and beautiful.

I wish the space could be filled with such beautiful little flowers.

Ruan Anan thought about it and decided that if she saw a flower with seeds on the road, she would throw it into the space.

Of course, I didn't forget to take out a beautiful light blue silk hairband from the space.

By the time she reached the military area, she had tied a beautiful bow with a blue ribbon.

The soldier standing guard at the door recognized Ruan Anan and saluted her enthusiastically, "Sister-in-law, are you here to see Captain Xu?"

"He's wrapping up the meeting now. Why don't you go wait in the reception room?"

Ruan Anan rubbed her nose a little embarrassedly and asked curiously, "Will the meeting last a long time? If it takes a long time, then I will go home first."

The soldier denied it in panic, "Sister-in-law, you're overthinking it. This kind of summary meeting won't last long."

"After all, we've returned victorious from a battle. The summary meeting is just symbolic, and the commendation meeting will have to wait until the trial of these enemy spies is over."

"Please go to the reception room and wait. I estimate that Captain Xu will come out soon."

Ruan Anan finally felt relieved. After giving the little soldier two White Rabbit milk candies, she registered her name at the gate and walked into the reception area.

In fact, I was also very nervous when I came here.

On the one hand, he really wanted to give Xu Xu Yancheng a surprise, but on the other hand, due to his profession, he felt that it would be too abrupt for him to go there without authorization.

Fortunately, I still have the identity of a military district consultant now.

Otherwise, that would be really sensible.

While waiting in the reception room, Ruan Anan was not idle either. She asked the staff for some manuscript paper and pen and began to write the interrogation outline about Su Qingyue.

Even if she wanted to give up, she would not really leave everything to Qi Chi.

When it comes to opium, she's not that confused.

As I waited and wrote, an hour passed quickly.

She felt a little sleepy and fell asleep on the table somehow.

Suddenly she felt a warmth on her back. She tried to open her sleepy eyes and saw the familiar and strong figure.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Xu Yancheng's skin color became darker and he seemed to be thinner.

At this moment, Ruan Anan finally had a concrete understanding of the mission.

She raised her hand, wanting to touch Xu Yancheng's cheek, "You're back? That's great!"

Then, she handed the bouquet to Xu Yancheng, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, "Congratulations to my Captain Xu on your triumphant return."

Xu Yancheng felt tears welling up in his eyes, and with trembling fingers he took the flowers. "Thank you, because you were waiting for me at home, my mission went extra smoothly."

"Stop!" Ruan Anan gestured to stop. "The trial of the Dark God hasn't concluded yet. You don't need to tell me the specific mission details. I still have a sense of confidentiality."

Xu Yancheng caressed her cheek lovingly, put the bouquet on the table beside him, and opened his backpack. "I brought you a gift, too."

As he spoke, he took out a thick diary and handed it to Ruan Anan.

Ruan Anan felt a little guilty when she answered the phone. She had heard that people like this like to write diaries, and like to write about their love affairs in them, and exchange diaries with each other on special days.

However, this seemingly ritualistic and romantic behavior is simply a killer for someone from the 21st century.

She didn't really want to share all her secrets with her husband.

It’s like deleting the chat history with your best friend before you die.

Social death!

However, looking at Xu Yancheng's expectant eyes, Ruan Anan had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the diary.

The corners of her lips twitched twice, and she nervously turned a page, and spoke hesitantly, "Xu Yancheng, although we are now a close couple."

"Then there's no need to share something as private as a diary."

"We two should give each other space, don't you think?"

"Diary?" Xu Yancheng was so angry that he laughed. Ruan Anan's train of thought was comparable to the corridor in the back mountain. You never knew where he would turn next.

He opened the diary with a bit of helplessness, and Ruan Anan realized that there was not a single word in the book.

On the contrary, there is a beautiful leaf or exquisite little flower in each page.

"So beautiful!" Is this embossing?

Ruan Anan was really surprised and happy, and her hands became very cautious when holding the diary. This kind of pure natural embossing can be put into a photo frame after it is pressed.

Arrange and combine them in the way you like, and they will definitely be the most beautiful handicrafts.

A few days ago, she had just said that the furnishings in her home were a bit monotonous and she hoped to go to Min City to buy some beautiful decorations when the ferry resumed. Unexpectedly, Xu Yancheng made embossing for her today.

These flowers were obviously different from the ones she saw on the roadside. The colors were more gorgeous and the flowers were larger.

Seeing Ruan Anan's fondness for the item, Xu Yancheng finally felt relieved. "There are two exits from the ancient tomb. This one is inside the dry well we found, and the other one leads through the deep, dense forest filled with miasma."

"The plants there are different from those at the foot of the mountain, so I took advantage of my rest and sleep time to pick some and put them in my notebook."

"When we get home, we'll put these flowers in clean, absorbent paper and press them tightly with a chest of drawers. After ten days or eight months, we can make all kinds of decorative hanging paintings."

"I figured it would be shorter than waiting for the ferry to resume."

Looking at Ruan Anan's sparkling eyes, Xu Yancheng felt a little guilty again and quickly explained, "Of course, don't get me wrong, I'm not stopping you from spending money."

"After this mission is over, I should still have allowances and bonuses. I'll give them all to you then. You can buy whatever you want and spend it however you want."

"I'm not a man who doesn't want his wife to spend money."

Suddenly, Ruan Anan stood on tiptoe and pressed a kiss on his lips. Xu Yancheng froze in place.

Although they had had close contact, it happened outside.

She actually kissed him?

Ruan Anan held the large diary in her hand and said, "Xu Yancheng, I like your gift very much. I think this kind of handmade gift is far more meaningful than spending money in Min City."
