Upon arriving at the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence, after greeting Xiao Qingyin, she noticed that neither Madam Yun nor Fu Weiyun were there. She asked in confusion, "Haven't Aunt Yun and General Fu arrived yet?"
Xiao Qingyin pointed towards the back garden: "They're playing chess in the back."
Zuo Miaomiao waved the things she was holding and said with a grin, "I'll deliver the things first, then I'll help my sister."
Xiao Qingyin shook her head: "I'm not busy here. You can play chess with them. I'll call you when it's time to eat."
"OK."
Zuo Miaomiao then went to the back garden.
As she walked to the end of the corridor, she caught a glimpse of Yun Shi and Fu Weiyun playing chess under the pavilion in the distance, and her pace slowed down.
My heart was pounding, and I kept thinking about what I was going to say.
He even looked down and examined himself to see if there was anything wrong with him.
As I mustered my courage and stepped into the garden, I suddenly heard Yun ask:
"Xiao Yun, I don't know when I'll be back. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of your marriage. What kind of girl do you like? Tell me, and I'll ask your maternal grandmother to keep an eye out for her."
She stopped in her tracks and turned her gaze to Fu Weiyun, wondering how he would respond.
Fu Weiyun picked up a chess piece and chuckled, "Mother, you don't need to worry, I already have a girl I like."
Madam Yun was both surprised and delighted: "Which family's daughter is she?"
Fu Weiyun put down the chess piece and smiled slightly: "It's still far from certain. I'll let you know when it's settled."
Madam Yun gave him a reproachful look: "Why are you keeping me in suspense? Fine, you won't give your name, but surely you can at least tell me what kind of girl you are?"
A smile flickered across Fu Weiyun's lips: "She is a gentle, kind, brave, and determined girl, as radiant as a star."
Yun laughed heartily: "It seems you really like her."
Zuo Miaomiao's heart sank.
Of the adjectives describing her as "gentle and kind," "brave and determined," and "shining like a star," only "kind" is relevant to her; the others are completely unrelated.
The girl he truly loved wasn't her at all; it was someone else!
She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
How presumptuous of me!
She bit her lip, turned around angrily, and strode back.
Seeing her return carrying gifts, Xiao Qingyin asked in confusion, "Didn't you find them?"
Zuo Miaomiao forced herself to stay awake: "I found them. Seeing how focused they were on their exercise, I didn't go over to disturb them."
Xiao Qingyin smiled and said, "Then please sit down for a while. Dinner will be served soon."
What do you want to eat?
"Tofu pudding and grilled fish".
Zuo Miaomiao had tried it once and exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this, "This is my favorite dish!"
"Then eat more."
"Yes! Absolutely."
She helped with the arrangements.
Being busy can keep one from thinking, but after dinner, when Yun Shi and Fu Weiyun came over, her mind started racing again.
“Aunt Yun, I heard it’s very cold in the capital in winter. I made you a pair of gloves so you can wear them when you’re cold.”
She gave the gloves to Ms. Yun.
Yun happily accepted it and said with a smile, "Thank you, Miaomiao, that's so thoughtful. When Aunt Yun arrives in the capital, I'll send you some local specialties from there."
Zuo Miaomiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Aunt Yun."
After she sat down, before the smile on her face could fade, Fu Weiyun asked, "What is that?"
Zuo Miaomiao turned her head and saw that he was referring to the collection she had carefully packaged and originally intended to give him. Her face immediately tightened: "This is a gift I prepared for a friend."
Fu Weiyun stared at her intently for a moment.
"I thought it was a thank-you gift for me."
You're overthinking it.
Fu Weiyun didn't say anything and sat down to eat.
The tofu pudding was delicious, the grilled fish was delicious, and the drinks that Sister Xiao made were also delicious.
Zuo Miaomiao kept her head down and ate, barely saying a word.
As she was having the fourth bowl of rice served, Xiao Qingyin reminded her, "Miaomiao, you just ate a big fish, three bowls of rice, four drinks, and a pot of side dishes."
Zuo Miaomiao then realized that her stomach was very full.
"I didn't realize it just now, this fish is so delicious..."
She said shyly.
I don't know how I ended up eating so much.
Xiao Qingyin smiled and said, "It's not that I'm stingy, but you have to eat in moderation, otherwise your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Zuo Miaomiao nodded emphatically.
She's starting to feel unwell now.
It felt like there was a big watermelon inside my stomach, heavy and pressing down on me. I couldn't move, but I couldn't stay still either.
Just then, a fair and slender hand reached out.
"This is a digestive pill."
Fu Weiyun smiled and handed over a porcelain bottle.
"It will make you feel better after eating it."
Zuo Miaomiao hesitated for a moment before taking it.
After eating the pills, the feeling of stuffiness subsided considerably.
Her favorability toward Fu Weiyun plummeted.
With such attentiveness, how could she not misunderstand?
He already has a girl he likes, yet he still takes care of other girls. What's the difference between him and a scoundrel who juggles multiple relationships?
She actually got seduced by a playboy; how embarrassing!
When she returned the bottle of digestive pills to Fu Weiyun, she said with a cold face, "Thank you, Commander Fu."
Fu Weiyun paused for a moment.
He was fine yesterday, so why does he suddenly seem to dislike me today?
Zuo Miaomiao certainly wouldn't give him an answer; she wasn't even bothering to give him a smile anymore.
She didn't linger after the meal, making an excuse that she had an upset stomach, and left early.
Xiao Qingyin noticed her actions and, after the banquet, quietly asked Fu Weiyun, "Did you make Miaomiao angry?"
Fu Weiyun shook his head: "I don't know."
