Xu Nian felt somewhat embarrassed as she watched Gu Zhan leave without looking back.
After all, he had witnessed such an embarrassing scene last night, so perhaps Gu Zhan felt that this was to save face for him.
Thinking of this, Xu Nian couldn't sit still any longer. She led Da Bao and Er Bao closer to the tent, and also brought Xiao Bai into the tent.
"Gu Zhan!"
Gu Zhan was standing and tidying his clothes when he heard that familiar, clear voice again. He froze for a moment, then turned around without making a sound.
Xu Nian bent down, picked up Xiao Bai, and placed it in Da Bao's arms. "It's a little white tiger. Although it's cute, it can also be dangerous. You can't provoke it."
"Okay!"
When Da Bao and Er Bao saw Xiao Bai, their eyes lit up, clearly showing their excitement.
Little White stretched lazily, extremely satisfied with the gazes of its two little masters.
Watching Da Bao and Er Bao leave the tent, Xu Nian took several deep breaths before slowly walking to Gu Zhan's side.
"Um, do you think what I did yesterday was particularly embarrassing?"
Since the two of them would be spending every day together in the future, Xu Nian felt it was better to talk things out, so she asked a question.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan frowned, not understanding why she would have such a thought.
But his silence was interpreted by Xu Nian as a silent acquiescence, and she immediately sighed, "Oh, don't overthink it!"
"I was just bored yesterday, so I was just jumping around for fun. It was just a chance to thank you. There was nothing else to it, so don't get the wrong idea."
After giving a lengthy explanation, Xu Nian's clothes were damp with a thin layer of sweat, and she felt a little uneasy.
After all, she had only casually mentioned Gu Zhan's love life once before and was reprimanded with a cold face, so Xu Nian didn't want Gu Zhan to overthink it or feel any unnecessary burden because of it.
Seeing Xu Nian's anxious explanation, Gu Zhan tightened his hands hanging at his sides, unable to describe his inner feelings.
He did misunderstand at first.
But after a long time, tossing and turning all night, Gu Zhan felt it was unlikely.
The two of them are at most close friends; how could there be any extra feelings between them?
Now that he had heard Xu Nian's explanation, Gu Zhan finally felt relieved, but instead of the relief he had imagined, he felt extremely agitated.
But when facing Xu Nian, Gu Zhan naturally wouldn't show such an expression, and nodded gently, "I know, you don't need to worry."
Seeing that communication with Gu Zhan seemed to have returned to normal, Xu Nian breathed a heavy sigh of relief and teased, "Oh dear, how could I possibly have such thoughts about General Gu? I'm going to keep my brother company now~"
With that, she skipped and hopped out the door, disappearing from Gu Zhan's sight.
He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
Why is the host in such a hurry to explain? It almost seems like they're trying to cover something up.
Indeed, if we didn't know the real reason, we might really think the streamer had a crush on the general, hahaha!
[Why don't we just explain the truth to the general?]
"no."
Xu Nian interrupted decisively, speaking with righteous indignation, "While this explanation might help him understand the reason, it's too bizarre and outlandish, and besides—"
"I am merely a passerby in this dynasty, and I will eventually leave."
As she spoke, she looked up at the clear blue sky not far away, feeling somewhat uncertain.
Da Bao and Er Bao, Gu Zhan, Han Xiao'e, Li Cheng, the villagers, and many others...
These memories will likely become her most precious recollections in the future.
Thinking this way, Xu Nian's sadness disappeared, and she got up to look for Da Bao and Er Bao.
The two children had a great time playing with Xiaobai, and nothing dangerous happened. Xu Nian watched with a smile, a feeling of happiness rising in her heart.
"Sir, the people in the farmland say they need to speak with you."
Han Xiao'e rushed over, carrying a large stack of documents, and said breathlessly, "It seems like we've encountered some kind of problem."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian stood up without hesitation, then whispered to the two children, "Your older sister is going to take care of things first. If you have any questions, go find Brother Gu Zhan, understand?"
"Okay!"
The two children answered quickly, their faces beaming with excitement.
It's so boring in the city all day long, the military camp is much more interesting!
Gu Zhan stepped outside and saw the two children playing excitedly. He immediately walked over and asked in a deep voice, "Where is your older sister?"
Da Bao looked up and met Gu Zhan's cold face. He was a little scared, but he knew it was Gu Zhan, so he mustered up his courage and said, "Sister went to take care of something and told us to wait for her here."
Erbao nodded in agreement, looked Gu Zhan up and down with curiosity, and asked from the bottom of her heart, "Big brother, are you the general? Is it fun to be a general?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan had many thoughts and feelings in his heart, but he knew that this was not something he should say to a child, so he tried to explain gently, "I am a general. Being a general is tiring, but it is also very prestigious."
"Wow!"
Erbao immediately looked on with envy and asked eagerly, "Then can I become a general in the future?"
Gu Zhan was speechless. After thinking for a long time, he gave a dry reply, "Anything can be done if you want to."
"That's great! I want to be a general in the future to protect my second brother and older sister!"
Erbao jumped up and down excitedly, counting on his little fingers as he talked nonstop, "And the little flower at the village entrance, and so many of my friends, I want to protect them all!"
Seeing his childlike expression, Gu Zhan didn't want to delve into the topic and immediately changed the subject, "Is your older sister good to you?"
When this was mentioned, both Da Bao and Er Bao stopped teasing Xiao Bai and nodded very seriously, replying, "Big sister is very good to us. She is the best big sister in the world."
"She not only provides us with food and drink, but also takes care of us every day. Even when she is busy, she will help us review our lessons."
Da Bao was almost out of breath from talking, but he still insisted on saying, "My sister is amazing! I heard the villagers call her a fortune teller!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan recalled Xu Nian using fire talismans, but he didn't refute her and quietly listened to Da Bao's boasting.
"That's right, that's right, in short, we like our older sister the most!" Erbao nodded vigorously.
Immediately afterwards, Da Bao and Er Bao pulled Gu Zhan aside and talked at length about everything that had happened since their older sister had been so kind to them.
Gu Zhan listened intently, occasionally chuckling or nodding, in sync with the two children.
"I'm back."
So when Xu Nian returned, she was greeted by this harmonious scene and immediately asked curiously, "What did they all say to you?"
Gu Zhan stood up, lowered his eyes to look at her bright eyes, and slightly curved his lips.
"It's nothing, it's just..."
"I've learned a little more about you."
