Chapter 40 Even if I have to make the whole world my enemy, I will stand by your side
Zhao Hu followed closely behind, and just by taking a look, his eyes widened.
"I thought you were in such a hurry to come back that there must be something exciting to see."
In the next yard, Song Yunqing was stunned when he saw Xiao Jinchuan with two buttons of his shirt undone, revealing the skin on his neck.
Moreover, Xiao Jinchuan was posing in a posture she had never seen before.
He wore his military cap askew with the brim pulled down very low, his right hand was in his trouser pocket, and his left hand was swinging his belt back and forth.
"Are you... feeling unwell?"
Why did she seem to see the shadow of Jiang Lei in Xiao Jinchuan?
Xiao Jinchuan walked to Song Yunqing in a leisurely manner, but it was obvious that he was used to marching in a straight line, so this looked extremely awkward to him.
He stretched out his hand to support himself on the clothes drying rack behind Song Yunqing, and lowered his voice deliberately as he slowly uttered a few words: "Brother brought you some delicious food."
Song Yunqing froze, goose bumps covering her arms. She rubbed them violently, "Xiao Jinchuan, I don't know what's happened to you, but can you please not be so disgusting to me?"
Before Xiao Jinchuan could say anything, a "crack" sound came from behind him, and the old clothes rack broke directly.
Xiao Jinchuan reacted very quickly to catch the fallen bamboo pole, but all the clothes that had just been hung out to dry fell to the ground.
Song Yunqing looked at the clothes on the ground speechlessly, then looked at Xiao Jinchuan who had a look of shock on his face.
"I don't care what method you use, just hang these clothes up for me. You can't eat until they're done."
Seeing Song Yunqing walk into the room with a dark face, Xiao Jinchuan tugged at his collar unnaturally.
Why do other people look so natural when they unbutton their clothes, but I feel uncomfortable everywhere.
He found a piece of wire, pulled it directly from the courtyard wall, and fixed one end to a nail at the gate.
Pat the half-dry clothes clean and hang them up one by one.
The two people who were peeking had gone completely crazy.
When they looked at each other, they saw shock in each other's eyes.
"Damn it, the deputy leader is like a snail girl, she does whatever she's told to do."
"Keep your voice down. The deputy commander just lost someone. Don't let him find out that we know."
Zhao Hu's shoulders shook as he tried to hold back his laughter, he could hardly contain it anymore.
"Don't tell me, this is the first time I've seen such a ruffian-like deputy leader. Do you think he's crazy?"
Chen Zhicheng had a vague idea of the reason, as he happened to see the captain coming before.
After all this time, it turns out that the deputy leader is jealous of others.
But...this is too funny!
The two people were whispering and didn't notice Xiao Jinchuan's eyes sweeping across the hollow patterns on the wall.
When Song Yunqing had served the food, Xiao Jinchuan finally came in with his hat in hand.
"I say, why don't you just hang up your hat? If you keep holding it for a while, it'll get dirty if it falls to the ground."
As soon as he finished speaking, the hat fell to the ground.
silence.
Deathly silence.
Xiao Jinchuan picked it up silently again and hung it on the coat rack where he usually hung his hats.
"Eat...eat."
Without Song Yunqing noticing, he casually draped his military uniform over the back of the chair. It was usually neatly folded.
Xiao Jinchuan thought about it carefully and realized that this was exactly what Jiang Lei did that day.
He quietly adjusted the angle of his clothes, and it was exactly the same as that day.
Unexpectedly, Song Yunqing picked up the clothes and threw them on the bed: "Why are you putting clothes on the bench?"
Imitation failed.
Today Song Yunqing made stir-fried pork and millet porridge, and heated up a few big steamed buns.
Xiao Jinchuan pinched a steamed bun, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
My face almost turned red when I thought about what I was going to say later.
"This...this dish today...is really...delicious!"
"Bah."
It's the sound of chopsticks falling to the ground.
Song Yunqing looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.
"Xiao Jinchuan, I don't know how to exorcise demons. Wait, I'll go ask someone who knows."
As she said this, she was about to run out.
God knows why Xiao Jinchuan suddenly went crazy today. He seemed like he was possessed by another spirit.
"etc!"
Xiao Jinchuan's face flushed red, and he grabbed Song Yunqing's wrist to stop her from running out.
"I'm... fine."
"How is it possible? How can you look like you're okay?"
"I'm telling you, it's okay to be sick, we can find a way to cure it. It's also okay to be possessed by a ghost, there's always a way to drive it away."
Seeing that she was becoming less and less reliable, Xiao Jinchuan felt a heat burning from his neck to his chest.
"It's okay, I did it on purpose."
Song Yunqing looked at him in surprise: "Are you bored? Are you doing this on purpose?"
Xiao Jinchuan was so angry that he was completely upset.
"I just want to try different kinds of life and better understand the habits of different groups of people."
"Phew...you scared me to death. I thought something really happened to you. Next time, remember to tell me before you get to know someone else's habits."
Song Yunqing then sat down to eat again, but Xiao Jinchuan was like a cooked shrimp.
"Am I really that weird?"
"Of course, this isn't for you. Have you ever seen a state banquet where the preparations are made for a long time and everyone is looking forward to it, only to be served a plate of pickled cucumbers? That's what it feels like."
Xiao Jinchuan buttoned up his shirt silently.
Does this mean that she doesn't like Jiang Lei very much either?
"But you remind me of Jiang Lei. He's been like this since he was a kid. He never wears his clothes properly and likes to play tricks on people. The way he walks is exactly the same as you just now."
"But he's a nice guy, helpful and warm-hearted. When I was a kid reading those storybooks, he even said he wanted to be a chivalrous warrior who upholds justice."
Song Yunqing had a smile on his face whenever he talked about Jiang Lei.
That smile is so dazzling no matter how you look at it.
Xiao Jinchuan thought about it again and again, and finally "accidentally" dropped his chopsticks on the ground, interrupting Song Yunqing's words.
"Here, there's another chopstick here, you don't need to take it."
"Do you think Jiang Lei's personality is good?"
Song Yunqing nodded: "Yes, as a friend, he is very loyal, has a good personality, and is interesting to talk to."
"What about as a partner?"
Song Yunqing approached mysteriously, "What's the matter? Do you have someone suitable who wants to act as a matchmaker?"
Xiao Jinchuan almost choked on his food.
"Cough cough cough."
“No…no.”
"As a partner, she should be good too. She's loyal and affectionate. She should be the type to stand by you even if the whole world is against you."
Xiao Jinchuan pursed his lips. Song Yunqing had a very high opinion of Jiang Lei.
"But even if you really want to be a matchmaker, you'd better give up. He said he is a bachelor and has no plans to get married in this life."
Hmm? There's always light at the end of the tunnel?
Xiao Jinchuan's mood suddenly improved a lot.
It’s good to be a bachelor. A bachelor doesn’t miss Song Yunqing!
"In fact, even if it means I'm against the whole world, I can still stand by your side."
"You won't."
Song Yunqing denied it categorically.
"Why?"
"Because you have great love in your heart, you won't be limited to small emotions."
There was one more thing Song Yunqing didn't say.
He won't, because he will devote everything to Wei Zhihe.
During this period of time, Song Yunqing deliberately ignored the existence of this person, but this does not mean that she really does not exist.
Sooner or later, she will appear again, and Xiao Jinchuan's fate has already been written.
When he thought of this, the expression on Song Yunqing's face froze a little.
Xiao Jinchuan thought Song Yunqing didn't believe him, so he quickly said, "I can do it, I really can."
But... you can't even defy the plot.
"Well, okay, I believe you, eat quickly."
Xiao Jinchuan saw it clearly. Although she said that she believed him, her expression clearly showed that she did not believe him.
He was confused. Why was Song Yunqing so sure that he would not end up like Jiang Lei?
What did she misunderstand?
He wanted to ask, but didn't know how to start.
Both of them had things hidden in their hearts, and even the meal was much quieter.
Song Yunqing kept dreaming at night. Sometimes he dreamed of the miserable state described in the original owner's book, and sometimes he dreamed of Xiao Jinchuan chasing Wei Zhihe and looking at him with cold eyes.
She turned over and her arm unconsciously rested on Xiao Jinchuan's chest.
The bed here is small. If you put a quilt in the middle, there will be no room for two people to sleep.
In addition, Song Yunqing was very restless when sleeping and would kick the quilt off nine times out of ten.
Another time, he was caught by Xiao Jinchuan.
Noticing that Song Yunqing started to roll around on the bed again, Xiao Jinchuan wanted to grab her hand directly as he did before.
Unexpectedly, she rolled over and almost rolled into his arms, her fingertips gently rubbing his Adam's apple.
Xiao Jinchuan's breathing stagnated and his body tensed up instantly, but he didn't dare to move.
Although she rolled around before, except for that time in the staff quarters, she never rolled into his arms again.
Half asleep and half awake, Song Yunqing rubbed against his arms again, resting her forehead on his chin, her gentle breath brushing against his neck.
Just when Xiao Jinchuan was hesitating whether to sleep like this.
She moved.
She raised her head slightly, and her lips brushed against the corner of his mouth inadvertently.
The vision is blurred in the dark night, and the senses are magnified countless times.
Xiao Jinchuan clearly felt the softness of her lips.
He froze completely.
He opened his eyes and stared at the dark beams. His Adam's apple rolled but he held his breath.
The touch was so light, like the brush of a feather, yet so heavy that it burned his fingertips and made them numb.
The culprit was completely unaware, and even snuggled into his arms again, his lips rubbing against his chin again, soft and warm from sleep.
Xiao Jinchuan's fingertips unconsciously clenched the sheets, and his knuckles turned white.
He should have pushed her away.
He should turn over and face away from her.
He should...
But his body refused to obey him, as if it was nailed to the spot.
Even his breathing was very light, for fear of disturbing the tenderness of the moment.
His conscience condemned him for taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
But emotions are surging.
Forget it, a beast is a beast.
Xiao Jinchuan hugged Song Yunqing tightly.
He only dares to act like a beast in the middle of the night when no one cares!
At daybreak, Song Yunqing finally woke up and rubbed his eyes sleepily.
He discovered that Xiao Jinchuan was already dressed neatly and standing beside the bed. The buttons of his military uniform were buttoned meticulously to the top, and even his belt was tied tighter than usual.
"You're up so early?"
Her voice was sleepy.
Xiao Jinchuan didn't even dare to look her in the eye. He just said "hmm", his voice lower and hoarse than usual.
Song Yunqing blinked, feeling that he was particularly...tense today?
It was not until Xiao Jinchuan left the house that Song Yunqing saw the prepared breakfast on the table.
She went out to the bathroom in a daze, but when she turned around, her eyes widened in shock at what she saw in the yard.
"This is......"
