Jiang Liu smiled faintly, "Okay."
Looking at the restaurant in front of her, she recalled Qiu Dafu's stiff and reserved manner when the two of them first dined at Xingyue Restaurant.
However, this time, the restaurant's name is not Xingyuelou or Shuangxilou, but... Shuangxige.
Qiu Yan was also having a meal at that moment.
However, the food on the table was pitifully scarce.
She barely ate a few bites before the plate was empty.
Gu Qian lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
"Gu Qian, what are you doing lying in bed? If you don't eat soon, I'll eat it all."
Gu Qian shifted his body to the inside, "I'm not eating! I couldn't sleep a wink last night, I need to catch up on my sleep now."
"Then you go to sleep. I'll leave after I finish eating."
Qiu Yan was anxious to find her second uncle and couldn't sit still for a moment, but the man said he needed to catch up on his sleep.
After hearing this, Gu Qian turned around and leaned against the headboard. "Yan Yan, don't you know how to care about your husband?"
My whole body aches and aches.
Qiu Yan: "Then who's to blame? Who told you to curl up on the table and sleep?"
If all else fails, sleeping on the floor will do.
Anyway, this room is on the second floor, and the floor is made of wood.
With such a small desk, let alone Gu Qian's long legs, even Qiu Yan's physique probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep.
Gu Qian turned his head to the side and lay back down: "It's you who won't let me sleep in the bed."
His tone was languid, yet tinged with... grievance.
Qiu Yan wanted to laugh when she heard this.
Thinking back to last night, it seems she fell asleep as soon as she lay down in bed.
"Did I say that?"
Gu Qian raised the corner of his lips slightly, sat up, and looked at Qiu Yan, saying, "You mean, tonight, I can sleep in the bed?"
Qiu Yan… this man is always trying to tease her. “Are you going to eat or not?”
Gu Qian turned his head away haughtily, "I won't eat!"
"I apologize to you. What happened this morning will absolutely not happen again. Now can we eat?"
Gu Qian slowly closed his eyes, his will resolute, "I won't eat!"
Qiu Yan put down her chopsticks, "If you don't eat, I won't eat either!"
I thought it was just a joke from Gu Qian, but I didn't expect him to take it seriously.
She believed that food was essential for survival, and she refused to believe that he could really not eat.
"...You eat first."
Sure enough, upon hearing Qiu Yan's words, Gu Qian's resolve wavered somewhat.
Qiu Yan glanced at the food on the table, then turned to find the waiter.
However, they only brought one steamed bun.
With the city gates of Huaiyuan sealed off, their food supply was insufficient, and their daily consumption was decreasing.
Qiu Yan rubbed her still-unfilled stomach and handed the steamed bun to Gu Qian, saying, "Eat up."
Gu Qian turned and placed the steamed bun on the table. "Food is precious, so save it for your next meal."
Qiu Yan broke down, "You like being hungry, don't you?"
Gu Qian was clearly trying to teach her a lesson by punishing himself.
She looked out the window: "Let's go out to eat."
Upon hearing the words "go out to eat," Gu Qian sat up abruptly.
He didn't want Qiu Yan to go out alone behind his back again.
...After leaving the inn, the two walked straight ahead.
Just like yesterday, finding a guesthouse was difficult, and getting breakfast was also a challenge.
On the streets, most of the people were patrolling. Small vendors rarely went out, with only a few daring ones continuing their previous business.
Qiu Yan and her companion walked along the main road, circling three streets before and after. Unable to find breakfast, they first circled the government office and the Jiang residence.
From this, we learn that the government office has been occupied by the Northern Qi, and the Jiang residence is empty, with two Northern Qi guards standing at the gate, while the master and servants inside are nowhere to be found.
