The carriage slowly came to a stop in front of Zuiyue Tower. Xie Yizhi dismounted, walked to the carriage, and personally helped Jiang Luoluo down.
Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and Zuiyue Tower is bustling with activity. The aroma of wine and food mingles together, filling the night.
The two went straight up to the second floor. Xie Yizhi pushed open the door to the private room, and Jiang Luoluo followed closely behind.
As soon as she stepped into the room, Jiang Luoluo's eyes were drawn to the large copper pot on the table, which was steaming hot.
The red oil sizzled and the aroma was irresistible; the familiar scent instantly stirred up her deep-seated memories.
She stared wide-eyed at Xie Yizhi in disbelief, her lips parted slightly, but she was speechless for a moment.
Xie Yizhi's lips curled into a smile as he pulled her to sit down at the table. His clear voice carried a hint of smugness: "Today, I'm treating Madam to hot pot!"
The moment the words "hot pot" left her lips, Jiang Luoluo's eyes instantly reddened, glistening with tears.
She took a deep breath and suddenly spoke softly: "Hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, boron."
Upon hearing this, Xie Yizhi's eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he almost slammed his fist on the table. His mouth stretched wide, and he couldn't help but rub his hands together: "Carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, neon!"
At this moment, a thousand words are left unsaid.
Jiang Luoluo's nose tingled, and tears instantly rolled down her cheeks. She couldn't care about anything else and threw herself into Xie Yizhi's arms, hugging him tightly.
An old saying goes, "When fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears." This is certainly true!
Her voice choked with sobs, filled with grievance and resentment: "Why are you only acknowledging me now?!"
She almost, almost abandoned him and let him fend for himself.
Xie Yizhi chuckled softly, picked up a handkerchief, and gently wiped away her tears, his tone tinged with affection:
"I've tested you many times, and you've always given me different excuses."
From the moment you mentioned six o'clock, I started to have doubts. Later, when you sang "The Lone Warrior" at the flower-viewing banquet, I was almost certain.
Xie Yizhi moved gently and smiled helplessly, "But every time you try to fob me off, you always manage to convince me."
Until you came to the palace hall with your servants to rescue me, you whispered "Oscar statuette".
It wasn't until that moment that I finally realized that you and I came from the same world.
Jiang Luoluo was stunned, her eyes sparkling with surprise and shock.
She sniffed, about to say something more, when Xie Yizhi suddenly lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't cry, wife."
Jiang Luoluo was startled. The familiar address, the familiar tone, the familiar warmth!
He really is just like her, they both come from the same world!
From then on, they were no longer alone, but walked side by side.
Even if they are just cannon fodder in a book, they should still live a wonderful and beautiful life!
After the two recognized each other as fellow villagers, their emotions gradually calmed down. Xie Yizhi called over the waiter and asked him to bring up the prepared dishes one by one.
Lamb rolls, beef rolls, fish balls, tofu, dried bean curd sticks, and vegetables.
Plates of colorful, fragrant, and delicious ingredients are laid out on the table, and the red oil broth is bubbling with a fiery aroma.
Jiang Luoluo watched all this with her eyes filled with emotion.
Xie Yizhi even had special red oil dipping sauce and garlic sesame sauce made. He also personally drew the designs for the hot pot and had Li Tieniu's shop make them.
This man is incredibly meticulous.
Xie Yizhi smiled slightly, carefully picked up a slice of fatty beef, swished it eight times until it was just cooked, and then put it into Jiang Luoluo's dipping sauce dish: "Madam, please try it."
Jiang Luoluo couldn't wait to pick up a bite and put it in her mouth. Her tongue was instantly enveloped by the rich aroma.
Her eyes widened, sparkling as if stars were appearing in them: "Delicious! So delicious!"
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Xie Yizhi was in a great mood, his smile widened, and he relaxed completely. While he was cooking meat, he listened to Jiang Luoluo recount her experience of transmigrating into a book.
He listened quietly, nodding occasionally and occasionally revealing a meaningful smile.
When Jiang Luoluo got to the crucial point, her voice suddenly softened, and her eyes showed some guilt.
Xie Yizhi noticed her unusual behavior and asked slowly, "And then? What happened to me?"
Jiang Luoluo's eyes darted around. She lowered her head, heated a piece of dried bean curd, put it in her bowl, and then forced herself to say, "Later, you... you died. You were shot to death by the Prince of Yan with an arrow."
Xie Yizhi paused.
He looked up at Jiang Luoluo, his gaze deep and unfathomable. After a long while, he suddenly smiled.
"So?" He put down his chopsticks, looking at her with a half-smile. "When you first approached me for a collaboration, were you planning to become a rich widow?"
Jiang Luoluo felt extremely guilty, and her fingers rubbed back and forth on the rim of the bowl.
That's exactly what she thought!
Who would have thought that she would step onto this pirate ship and even lose her heart in Xie Yizhi's gentle embrace.
Now, she is already living a life of decadence and debauchery in this gentle paradise.
Jiang Luoluo murmured softly, "That's what I really thought, but later, you were just too attractive, and you disturbed my peace of mind."
Today, I also want to confront you directly!
Xie Yizhi then boiled a few more pieces of mutton rolls and placed them in Jiang Luoluo's bowl, teasing her, "So, Luoluo was bewitched by my good looks."
Jiang Luoluo chuckled, "Yes, you are so beautiful that I couldn't resist and fell for you."
Xie Yizhi, however, was overjoyed, as if he had discovered a new continent. This proved that his wife would never have that bastard Gu Boyuan in her heart.
Gu Boyuan is neither as powerful nor as handsome as him, so why would the lady like him?
The only person who likes Gu Boyuan is the Jiang Luoluo from the previous book, but he doesn't mind that. Everyone has a past.
Today is Xie Yizhi's happiest day since his marriage. No matter how bumpy and difficult the road ahead may be, he will definitely protect Jiang Luoluo.
He never believed in evil spirits. Five years ago, Empress Dowager Du wanted him to die quietly in the northern desert, but he stubbornly built the Flying Eagle Army out of sheer willpower.
Now that he was no longer alone, he refused to believe that there were two time travelers.
Surely he can't beat a few reborn clowns? He won't embarrass them transmigrators.
Now that Jiang Luoluo and he have recognized each other, the two of them are now united in their swordsmanship, regardless of whether it is the Prince of Yan or Gu Boyun.
Whether it's Empress Dowager Du, Yao Shiyu, or Consort Lu, kill them all, kill them all, leave no one alive.
Jiang Luoluo looked at Xie Yizhi's silly grin; his lips hadn't stopped moving all day.
He was practically beaming with joy, his eyes were sticking up so high, I wonder if his lips got sore.
That damn jerk, he's just a boy with a youthful heart in private.
He couldn't keep anything to himself, and his usual indifferent and aloof demeanor was completely gone.
