Xu Minghao came out and found Qi Xinlan chopping wood with an axe in the yard, so he walked over and said, "Let me help you!"
Qi Xinlan was about to raise the axe to chop wood when it suddenly disappeared from her hand. When she came to her senses, she saw Xu Minghao had already picked up the axe and was chopping wood. What a shame! He didn't even ask if the other person was willing.
With one blow of the axe, Xu Minghao neatly split the firewood into two halves. It was much more efficient than Qi Xinlan who had to chop it three or four times. Xu Minghao finished a large pile of firewood in just a few minutes. Qi Xinlan was stunned by his speed.
"Is there anything else you want to chop?" After Xu Minghao finished chopping, he turned around and asked Qi Xinlan.
"Well... no more. Are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water." Qi Xinlan came back to her senses and asked. She came to chop wood just to cover up, but she didn't expect Xu Minghao to follow her, which made her not know how to answer.
"No. I'm not thirsty." Xu Minghao shook his head.
"Hey, what are you doing? Why are you chopping wood here? Who would chop wood at home while in love? Go, go out for a walk." At this time, Zhao Lan, who had finished her meal, was carrying the bowl out and was about to wash it. She saw Xu Minghao and Qi Xinlan standing there awkwardly, so she walked over and urged them.
"Mom~" Qi Xinlan said with a blush.
"Mom, what? Haozi hasn't been home for a long time. Many places in the village have changed. You can take Haozi around to get familiar with the place. It doesn't matter if he comes back late." Zhao Lanyi looked at Qi Xinlan and hinted.
"I know, Mom~" Qi Xinlan felt embarrassed by Zhao Lan's ambiguous gaze, so she stomped her feet and ran away in regret.
Seeing Qi Xinlan running away again, Xu Minghao nodded gratefully to Zhao Lan and went after Qi Xinlan again.
Seeing them like this, Zhao Lan shook her head and murmured, "How can they not even know how to have a relationship and still need her, an elder, to teach them!"
"Lan Zi." Xu Minghao, who had caught up, called softly to Qi Xinlan who lowered her head slightly.
"Yeah." Qi Xinlan stammered.
"Lan Zi...um, what have you thought about it?" Xu Minghao asked nervously, with a hint of expectation in his tone.
"This..." Qi Xinlan hesitated.
"Lan Zi, I will treat you well for the rest of my life! Really!" Xu Minghao saw Qi Xinlan hesitating, his anxious heart was about to jump out, and he was also afraid that the other party would directly refuse, so Xu Minghao made a promise without consulting her.
When Qi Xinlan heard this, she looked up at Xu Minghao in front of her. His face was slightly anxious, but sincerity flashed in his deep eyes.
In the previous life, Xu Minghao had also said such words, but she was dismissive at that time and deliberately made things difficult for him. She threw an iron hairpin into the river and asked him to find it. She would only agree to it after he found it!
Xu Minghao actually jumped into the river without saying a word and searched for three days and three nights in the river without eating or drinking. By the time he found the hairpin, he had already had a high fever. Fortunately, he was treated in time, otherwise the doctor said his brain would have been burned...
Thinking of this, her heart tightened and her eyes began to turn red. She almost made Xu Minghao become a fool...
"Don't cry, I'm sorry, if you don't want to..." Just deal with it for a while, and then you can tell me the answer. Before he could finish this sentence, he was interrupted by Qi Xinlan's crying, leaving Xu Minghao helpless. It was even more thrilling than the danger during the mission!
"Wow... Who said I don't want to..." Qi Xinlan thought that Xu Minghao just said he didn't want to, but she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She couldn't help crying out loud, and her tears fell in front of Xu Minghao, and it didn't stop for a while.
Xu Minghao's mind was full of Lan Zi crying. Lan Zi crying, his heart was so tight that he didn't hear clearly what Qi Xinlan said with tears in her eyes. He looked at Qi Xinlan crying with anxiety on his face, not knowing what to do. He wanted to hold Qi Xinlan in his arms and comfort her, but he was afraid of offending the beauty.
So, he searched all over his body but found no handkerchief or tissue to wipe her tears, so he had to use his sleeve to wipe her tears. Thinking that his clothes were rough and her skin was so white, tender and smooth, he was afraid of hurting her, so he used less strength in his hands, as if he was wiping the most precious thing in the world, with an extremely serious look and a hint of tenderness.
"Minghao..." Qi Xinlan's eyes were slightly red, and she was pouting, her voice a little crying and a little coquettish.
"What's wrong?" Xu Minghao was wiping her tears carefully. When he heard the other party's soft voice, his heart softened and he asked softly.
"I... um... I'm not unwilling." Seeing the other party's puzzled look, Qi Xinlan felt even more aggrieved. Her eyes were red and full of tears, and she looked like she was about to cry.
"Really?" Xu Minghao wiped his tears and paused for a moment, looking at Qi Xinlan with bright eyes in disbelief.
"Yeah." Seeing this, Qi Xinlan stopped crying and nodded shyly.
"Lan Zi..." Xu Minghao was so happy that he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart. He hugged Qi Xinlan and kept calling her name in her ear.
Qi Xinlan was held in Xu Minghao's arms. She felt warm air by her ears and heard a magnetic voice repeatedly calling her name. The voice was mixed with excitement and joy, which also infected her, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Xu Minghao held Qi Xinlan for a long time, so long that she let her go only when she thought Xu Minghao had fallen asleep.
"Lan Zi, there is something I must tell you. I am a soldier and my vacation is not long, so I can't always be with you. You can think about it again." Xu Minghao said with some difficulty. He was extremely uneasy in his heart, but he had to tell the other party so that the other party would have an idea in his mind.
"I know you are a soldier. I can agree to you only after careful consideration." Qi Xinlan also knew what Xu Minghao was worried about, so she quickly explained.
"Lan Zi, thank you." Xu Minghao expressed his sincere gratitude. He thanked God for letting him meet her, the person he wanted to spend his life with.
"Well, how about I call you brother from now on? This way it will be more intimate." Qi Xinlan said blushing.
"Okay." Although Xu Minghao's tone was light, she could see a smile in his eyes and the curve of his lips. She knew that Xu Minghao did not object and liked this title very much.
"Brother, when will you return to the military headquarters?" Qi Xinlan thought that Xu Minghao was a soldier and would not stay for long. Thinking that he was about to leave, she asked reluctantly.
"This vacation is quite long. We will be back in about 10 days." Xu Minghao replied.
"Then brother, you have to accompany me well during this period!" Qi Xinlan took Xu Minghao's arm, pouting and said domineeringly.
"Okay, I'll only accompany you!" Xu Minghao looked at Qi Xinlan steadily, with a hint of heat in his eyes.
After she and Xu Minghao confirmed their relationship, he became bolder, occasionally holding her hand without noticing. Sometimes, when they ran into people from the village on the road, she shyly tried to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly, not allowing her to let go, as if to declare something...
