Chapter 211 Whose heart skipped a beat?
Qi Jingchuan didn't have much to say to Cen Yan. To be precise, he just wanted to find an excuse to spend more time with Cen Yan, because the thought of Cen Yan not being home for the next seven days was making him a little annoyed.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, and Cen Yan was suddenly made to sneeze.
Upon seeing this, Qi Jingchuan immediately took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders. Using the momentum, he pulled her closer to him and stared down into her eyes.
"Don't go out without wearing more clothes. It's late autumn now, and the temperature might drop any day, and it will get cold," Qi Jingchuan said in a deep voice.
The scent of pine and cypress, unique to men, filled her nostrils, lingering on his coat. Cen Yan couldn't help but blush slightly. "It wasn't cold when I came out, and I was wearing quite a lot..."
“Wearing an extra layer is always beneficial. I told Xiao Liu along the way that he will be staying in Blue City for a few days. If you need anything, just contact him. As for accommodation, it would be best to stay at the same guesthouse as Xiao Liu.”
Everything is taken care of.
When Cen Yan heard that Qi Jingchuan had arranged so much for her, it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved. "Thank you, Qi Jingchuan. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have been able to board the ship smoothly today. Is there anything you want? I'll bring it back from outside later."
"No." Cen Yan's safe return was his greatest wish. Qi Jingchuan's expression was cold and unreadable, and Cen Yan didn't have time to delve into the man's feelings.
The passenger ship roared as it set sail. Cen Yan quickly took off her coat. "I'll take good care of myself. Don't just focus on training; get some rest. I'm going to board now."
Before he could even take off his coat, the man draped it back over his shoulders, saying, "Wear it! It'll keep you warm!"
No matter how far you send someone off, you must eventually part ways. Fortunately, his separation from Cen Yan was only seven days, which wasn't too long.
Cen Yan was practically pushed onto the passenger ship by Qi Jingchuan. When Lin Xiaoliu saw her board the ship, he waved to Qi Jingchuan.
"Don't worry, Brother Chuan, I'll take good care of your wife!"
Qi Jingchuan nodded, his gaze remaining fixed on Cen Yan.
Bang! Someone's heart suddenly started pounding, making a loud noise like a thunderclap.
By the time Cen Yan came to her senses, Qi Jingchuan on the dock had shrunk to the size of an ant until he was completely out of sight.
She quickly pulled her standard military jacket tighter and walked towards Lin Xiaoliu.
"Xiao Liu, thank you for your help these past few days. This is a small token of my appreciation from your sister-in-law. Please accept it."
While Cen Yan was speaking, she stuffed a heavy bag into Lin Xiaoliu's hand; it was unclear what was inside.
Lin Xiaoliu panicked, "Sister-in-law, if Brother Chuan finds out I accepted your gifts, he'll break my legs! Besides, if it weren't for Brother Chuan, I would have drowned in the sea back then. How could I be a respectable boatman like this today?"
Cen Yan said without further ado, "These are all things I made myself. It's called Seven White Cream, which can be used to whiten your face. You can give it to whomever you want."
Lin Xiaoliu looked to be under twenty, but he was at the age where he was just beginning to experience romantic feelings. In more remote areas, a twenty-year-old man would probably already be the father of one or two children.
Lin Xiaoliu doesn't have a wife at home, but he always has a mistress outside, or he must be secretly in love with someone else.
Giving him money is unrealistic, but giving him some of my homemade Seven White Ointment as a way to let him use it to help others is a good idea.
Besides, Seven White Cream isn't just for women; men can use it too for skincare and whitening.
