After finishing the last bite of rice, she let out a delicate burp.
Mmm~ Aunt Guihua's cooking is so delicious~
…
(ps: Yan Xiao probably found this amusing, since in a man's heart, she's just a delicate little darling who needs to be coaxed to eat even a single bite.)
At this moment, Yan Xiao was already sitting on the train heading south.
He used the same reason he gave to the captain when he went out this time.
“I have a friend named Xu Xian. Something happened in his hometown, and he needs me to go and help him for a few days.”
Xu Xian: Something's wrong at home?! My biggest problem is that I've made a friend like you, who's selfish and harmful to others.
The fields weren't too busy right now, and Yan Xiao wouldn't be gone for long, so the team leader readily approved his application and issued a letter of introduction.
…
Their destination was Guangzhou, and the three of them were in a hurry to catch their train, so they bought the tickets at the last minute.
I only managed to buy two seated tickets and one standing ticket.
They were all grown men, so there wasn't much to say; it was only a dozen or so hours anyway.
The three of them took turns sitting, and whoever got tired of sitting could stand up for a while, so it wasn't too unbearable.
It was already noon, and Xu Xian had already gone to the dining car and bought three meals.
The boxed meals on this train look pretty good.
Two meat dishes and one vegetable dish: braised pork, stir-fried eggs with chives, and stir-fried cabbage with vinegar.
Xu Xian and Hei Zi had gotten up early today, and they had just hurriedly stuffed a few bites of pancakes into their breakfast.
The aroma of food is irresistible, and people can't resist indulging in a hearty meal.
Just as the two were enjoying their meal, they noticed that Yan Xiao was still sitting there staring blankly at his lunchbox.
Xu Xian was full of curiosity and put a piece of braised pork into his mouth.
Mmm~ It smells delicious~
"Brother Yan, aren't you going to eat?"
Yan Xiao was lost in his own thoughts and didn't hear it.
Seeing this, Xu Xian nudged Hei Zi, who was still eating, with his elbow.
"Hey, what's wrong with Brother Yan?"
Kuroko almost choked and rolled his eyes from the impact.
After catching his breath, he swallowed the rice in his mouth before speaking in a gruff tone.
"He must be missing his wife, can't you tell?"
Oh, I forgot, you don't even have a wife.
Ugh, how could he have such stupid teammates?
Speaking of his wife, Xu Xian thought of the fairy-like girl, and his heart skipped a beat; he felt a little resentful.
"You talk as if you have one!"
A strange red blush appeared on Kuroko's ears.
Xu Xian's eyes widened in surprise...
"You...you...no way? You have a wife now??"
Kuroko pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "Ahem, not yet, but soon..."
Although she hasn't agreed to be his girlfriend yet, she hasn't refused either, has she?
Thinking of that little girl, he was determined to make her his girlfriend when he went back this time.
Kuroko smiled, lost in her beautiful fantasy.
Xu Xian looked around, observing the one or two...
One has a wife, the other is about to get a wife, but he's still hopping around like a chopstick.
We promised to be friends for life, but how did I end up being treated like a dog...?
...
Yan Xiao was unaware of the two people's underhanded dealings; his mind was completely occupied with his little girl at home.
It's already noon, I wonder if the little girl has eaten yet.
Although I knew that I had already told Aunt Guihua before I came out.
But since it's not me, how could anyone else care as much as I do?
I wonder what she ate?
Have you been thinking about him?
Will the little girl not be able to eat because she misses him while he's not here?
The little girl, who usually needs to be coaxed to eat one more bite, did she finish her meal obediently?
I imagined the little girl's favorite thing to do: to curl up on the sofa and lazily bask in the sun, like a lazy kitten.
I wonder if there was any wind in the pavilion, and whether she had covered herself with a blanket properly.
He misses her so much right now that he can't eat because of it.
If he were there, he would immediately take out a small blanket, wrap the person in it, and carry them inside when the wind picks up.
But right now, none of that is possible; we can only dream about it…
…
Xu Xian, who was standing to the side, finished his own boxed lunch and watched Yan Xiao staring at his food without eating.
He touched his stomach and swallowed.
Uh, I'm not full.
It'll get cold if we don't eat it soon.
He couldn't resist reaching out and touching the portion on the table.
"Brother Yan? Are you going to eat or not? If not, I'll eat it!"
A five-fingered black claw appeared in his line of sight, and Yan Xiao finally noticed him this time.
Seeing his actions, she frowned slightly, her face showing a mixture of emotions: "Eat, eat, eat. Here, take this. You always eat two portions of food. No wonder you're still single!"
Xu Xian, who had just received permission and was happily opening his lunchbox, was inexplicably interrupted by the fact that he didn't have a wife.
This blow is insurmountable, isn't it?
He shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth with resentment.
snort!
He not only wants to eat, but he wants to eat in big bites!
If you don't eat more, how will you have the energy to find a wife?
Maybe he'll be able to bring a wife home this time he goes to Guangzhou!
Who do you think you are...?
…
At that moment, Xu Xian never imagined that his words would come true.
He really did bring a "wife" home.
—————————
After finishing lunch, Wen Qinghe, who was on Yan Xiao's mind, was now, as he had expected, basking in the sun in a rocking chair in the pavilion.
It was early winter, and the afternoon sun wasn't intense, but it was unusually warm.
She spent the afternoon sleeping in a rocking chair, bathed in sunlight.
Dinner was brought over by Aunt Guihua again.
It was similar to the dishes we had for lunch, but also a little different.
Because the staple food has changed; it's now braised rabbit noodles.
