Chapter 18: Treasure every gift from Qiao Qiao
Ye Qiaoqiao leaned back subconsciously, her breathing stagnated. She could see beads of sweat rolling down Fu Juechuan's cheeks and finally sliding into his chest.
"Qiao Qiao, don't worry, it will be done soon." Fu Juechuan frowned slightly, and his fingers quickly untangled her hair without even breaking a single hair.
Ye Qiaoqiao looked at his resolute and steady face and felt her cheeks burning. She pursed her lips to avoid skin contact, but could not avoid the entanglement of their breath.
"alright."
Fu Juechuan let go of the last strand of hair, and his voice unconsciously became much hoarseer than before.
He raised his eyes and met Ye Qiaoqiao's gaze.
His eyes were deep, and Ye Qiaoqiao felt embarrassed when she was stared at. She subconsciously avoided him, and she felt something was wrong in her heart, as if she was itchy, scared, and very nervous.
"Thank you, Brother Fu." Ye Qiaoqiao said in a low voice.
As Fu Juechuan lowered her head, he subconsciously took a step back, and the gift paper bag in Ye Qiaoqiao's hand fell to the ground between the two of them with a plop.
Fu Juechuan bent down to pick it up and was about to hand it back to her.
"Brother Fu, you really don't want to accept my gift? Then I'll prepare something else next time." Ye Qiaoqiao was a little annoyed, thinking that her gift was not well prepared, so Fu Juechuan refused.
Fu Juechuan frowned and opened his mouth to continue to refuse, but was blocked by her lost expression.
His voice was dark, "No."
"I like."
“No need to prepare next time.”
Fu Juechuan left the gift behind and held it beside him.
When Ye Qiaoqiao saw him accept the gift, her mood suddenly improved.
"Brother Fu, these gifts are all things you can use. I originally wanted to give you clothes and shoes, but if I buy them directly, you can hardly wear them on a daily basis. But I heard that soldiers are more picky about shoes."
"It's a pity that I don't know how to make handmade thousand-layer cloth shoes, but I can learn. Give me some time, give me one... no, two months, and I will definitely be able to learn it." Ye Qiaoqiao said, stretching out her finger.
Fu Juechuan stared at her fair and delicate fingers and shook his head, "You have hands for painting, not for making shoes."
"Brother Fu, don't you want to wear a pair of shoes I made myself?" Ye Qiaoqiao asked with a smile.
Fu Juechuan's lips moved, and looking at her smiling eyes, he couldn't say a word of refusal.
Ye Qiaoqiao said, "Brother Fu, since you didn't refuse, I will take it as your consent. After all, you have given me so many gifts, so it is my duty to do these for you, isn't it?"
"...You don't have to take it too seriously." Fu Juechuan lowered his eyes slightly. When he learned why she was actively preparing gifts, the joy in his eyes faded. He just looked at her with his dark eyes and repeated, "The betrothal gift my mother left behind actually has nothing to do with me."
"But if you don't respect me, you don't have to give it to me." Ye Qiaoqiao refuted seriously.
In her heart, she really felt that Fu Juechuan was a good person.
I feel a lot of gratitude, so I am naturally willing to do more for him to express my sincerity.
Fu Juechuan was not happy about her words, nor did he refute them. He just told her not to work too hard.
Obviously, if Ye Qiaoqiao really wants to do something, Fu Juechuan is more likely to support her.
"By the way, Brother Fu, you can stay at my house tonight."
Ye Qiaoqiao took him downstairs.
"Dad and I prepared a room for you."
"When you come to our house from now on, you will no longer be a guest. You will naturally have your own room." Ye Qiaoqiao took him to the largest guest room on the right side of the first floor.
She stood at the door and asked, "Brother Fu, do you think this room is suitable?"
"If you don't like it, you can always choose the third floor."
She lived on the second floor and Commander Ye lived on the third floor. However, Commander Ye thought that even if they were engaged, they didn't know each other very well. In order to avoid meeting a scumbag like Zhou Cong again, he asked her to open her eyes this time and spend more time with Fu Juechuan.
Although Ye Qiaoqiao trusts Fu Juechuan's character, she will also consider whether she is suitable for him. If the two of them are not comfortable getting along, she cannot force it, and she can then separate from Brother Fu in harmony.
Therefore, Ye Qiaoqiao supports her father's approach.
For example, although they have to get along, they have to live separately to avoid suspicion and protect her reputation.
certainly.
Commander Ye meant that he didn't think his daughter would do anything unscrupulous and get pregnant before marriage, but who knew if Fu Juechuan could hold back.
He is a man and understands that not all men have self-control and bottom line.
"I won't stay overnight." Fu Juechuan refused subconsciously. He was so close to Ye Qiaoqiao that his skin felt hot, not to mention that they lived in the same building.
Ye Qiaoqiao was already worried about not being a good host, and after being rejected, she instantly felt like she had done something wrong.
She opened her mouth several times.
In the end, there was no further persuasion.
She was afraid that talking too much would annoy people.
After all, Fu Juechuan looked like someone who had made up his mind and would not change it easily.
Ye Qiaoqiao thought for a moment and said softly, "Brother Fu, then... I'll keep this room for you in case you need it. Anyway, you don't have to be so polite."
Fu Juechuan was stared at by her, and he finally restrained himself, his Adam's apple rolling, "Yeah, I know."
"Then...Brother Fu, why don't you stay home and have a midnight snack?"
Just as Ye Qiaoqiao finished speaking, Commander Ye happened to be calling out to two people outside.
Ye Qiaoqiao walked out first.
Commander Ye said, "Qiao Qiao, everyone gave us a lot of gift cakes today, and we can't finish them at home. Take Juechuan to pick out some of his favorites. Soldiers often go hungry before mealtime, so he should be able to use them. Just don't bring them to the training ground."
"Got it, Dad."
Ye Qiaoqiao turned and looked at Fu Juechuan, "Brother Fu, come with me."
Ye Qiaoqiao turned around and went to the warehouse to move all kinds of pastry boxes to the living room.
Fu Juechuan stepped forward to help very naturally. He took the heavier box and glanced twice at Ye Qiaoqiao for insisting on taking the lighter one.
"Chocolate... red bean cake... candy canes... cookies... wafer cookies..."
Ye Qiaoqiao packed the things that were easy to preserve into a box and handed it to Fu Juechuan.
Fu Juechuan had never received such a thoughtful and practical gift before, and he looked at it twice more.
It seems that what you are looking at are not pastries, but precious jewelry and jade.
"Brother Fu, can I take you home?" Ye Qiaoqiao said enthusiastically.
Fu Juechuan immediately came to his senses and shook his head to refuse, "No, I can take it back myself."
"Well... okay." Ye Qiaoqiao felt helpless. She didn't understand why Brother Fu always rejected her. If she hadn't seen rejection in his eyes, she would have almost thought that Brother Fu regretted getting engaged to her.
Fu Juechuan only sent her to the gate of the courtyard and then asked her to stop.
After Ye Qiaoqiao insisted, he did not refuse and left with her looking at his back, "Then I'll go first."
