Chapter 203: The most important thing
Su Wan was carried back home by his third brother. When he first drank it, he only thought the plum wine was sweet, but he didn't expect it to have such a strong aftertaste.
When she got up the next day, Jiang Yu and a few guards were the only ones left in the house.
Su's mother went to Yuyan Hall to help. She had promised her uncle last night that she would go and see the yard next to the workshop.
Her head hurt, so she went to the kitchen to get some hot water for washing. When she entered, she found Jiang Yu was also in the kitchen. He was lighting a fire in front of the stove, and something was cooking in the pot, bubbling with steam.
"Awake? I made you some sweet soup. You were drunk last night, so you must be having a headache right now, right?"
Jiang Yu took a clean bowl and spoon and poured her a bowl of hot sweet soup.
Su Wan felt warm in her heart and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise. What should she do? The sweet soup cooked by Young Master Jiang himself was so tempting.
"Let it hang for a while, I'll go wash up."
Su Wan fetched some water to wash up first. Jiang Yu saw that she had to do all these things by herself, which didn't seem like she was a boss.
"Have you ever thought about giving yourself two maids to serve you? Now that you are the head of Yuyan Hall, you have to do these things yourself. When you go out to discuss business in the future, you must bring two people with you."
Jiang Yu was right. Everyone in the family was very busy now. Su's mother had to come back from the workshop every day to cook for the whole family.
She made money to make her mother Su happy, but now she has to suffer with it.
"Yes, you are right. We need a few maids to clean and serve in the mansion, and a few cooking maids in the kitchen."
Those who work in the mansion don't need to be very smart, as long as they can do their job. She does need one or two maids to follow her so that she can take them with her when she goes out to discuss business in the future.
My third brother will be joining the army soon. Now that I think about it, the recruitment notice will probably be posted in Xiangzhou soon.
"The people who clean the house can go to the pawnshop and buy whatever they want, but the people who serve you can't be careless. I will arrange two people who are good at martial arts to protect you closely."
Jiang Yu started to plan for her again.
"No, you don't have to think about everything for me. It makes me feel like I can't do anything without you."
This would make her feel that she was dependent on Jiang Yu.
Su Wan's words were so distant that Jiang Yu felt uncomfortable, as if he had been pricked by a thorn. He handed the sweet soup to her and said with a slightly aggrieved tone:
"You don't like me being nice to you?"
"It's not that I don't like you, it just makes me feel that I'm too dependent on you for everything. What if it becomes a habit in the future?"
Su Wan subconsciously said what he was thinking.
"Isn't it good to rely on me? Isn't it good to make it a habit?" Jiang Yu looked at her expectantly.
"Once it becomes a habit, who will I rely on if you are not by my side in the future?"
"I will take care of everything for you. Even though I'm not by your side, you still have someone to rely on."
Jiang Yu answered these words almost without any hesitation.
It is undeniable that Su Wan was very touched at that moment, but who is she to him now?
Now, they are just a pair of good friends. On what basis can she accept his kindness to her?
If she still doesn't understand Jiang Yu's feelings for her during this period, then she would be a fool.
He likes me, so he does those things for me.
But in the original novel, Gu Yue saved him and he liked Gu Yue. Now he saved him and he likes himself.
Therefore, the person he likes is never fixed. Instead, he likes whoever saves him according to the changes in the plot. This kind of feeling is difficult for her to accept. She doesn't want this kind of love that is mixed with the gratitude for saving his life.
Su Wan would say whatever she wanted to say. She had a mouth, so she had to make it clear:
"Jiang Yu, you like me, don't you?"
Jiang Yu's heart skipped a beat and began to beat wildly. An inexplicable restlessness almost burst through his throat.
He took a deep breath, looked at Su Wan calmly and affectionately, and replied:
"Yes, I like you. What about you? Do you like me?"
Su Wan didn't answer his question for the time being, but also took a deep breath:
"You like me because I saved you. You were nice to me in the beginning because you wanted to repay my kindness in insisting on saving you. But as time went by, that feeling gradually turned into love. What if I hadn't asked my second brother to save your life? What if I had chosen to turn a blind eye from the beginning? What if the person who saved you became someone else?
If you meet me again, will you still like me this much? Will you hate me because I turned a blind eye to you? Will you fall in love with the other person who saved you? Will you be so kind to that person and do so much for her?
If you just wanted to repay a favor, then you've already done it, and you don't owe us anything."
When Su Wan asked this question, Jiang Yu didn't know how to answer for a moment.
But he couldn't deny that he wanted to be nice to her in the beginning because she saved him and he wanted to repay her.
It wasn't long before he fell in love with her. It was also the first time that Jiang Yu liked a girl so much. He only knew that when he liked someone, he didn't want to see her get hurt. He just wanted her to be safe and sound.
He didn't think so much. After Su Wan said these words, his feelings seemed to no longer be pure.
He was a little distracted, and after she asked so many questions in a row, he didn't know how to answer.
Yes, if the person who saved him was not Su Wan, would he still fall in love with her as much as he does now when he sees her again?
In a trance, he remembered that the meeting at the Earth God Temple was not the first time he and Su Wan met. Earlier, she had accidentally bumped into him in an inn, but he did not pay attention at that time.
Women are always so sensitive in relationships and tend to think too much.
For the first time in her life, Su Wan fell in love with someone. She only hoped that this relationship, like all original relationships, was based on mutual attraction to a certain quality in the other person, rather than falling in love with her because of this bloody filter of a life-saving grace.
In fact, what made it most difficult for her to let go was that in the original novel, Gu Yue saved Jiang Yu, so he liked her, although his love for her was not very strong.
Just because I have fallen in love, those things that I didn’t care about before have now become the things I care about the most. It’s like a seed taking root and sprouting in my heart. When it is halfway grown, it rains for a long time, and its roots are gradually corroded by the rain and become sour, and are about to rot.
Su Wan still finished drinking the sweet soup he cooked for her. At the end, she said, "It's delicious."
After leaving Furong Cottage, Su Wan was preoccupied all the way and didn't even realize when she had reached the end of the alley. By the time she realized it, she was about to hit a wall.
