Chapter 228: Using Green Tea to Defeat Green Tea, Falling in Love with the Warlord (7)
This was actually a good suggestion. After all, Han Zhiyao was reliable, they were friends, and Han Zhiyao knew everything about him wearing women's clothing. Li Ziyan rarely wore women's clothing because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. If Han Zhiyao was by his side, it would definitely be much more convenient.
Li Ziyan looked at Han Zhiyao, a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes. This method was good, but it was quite embarrassing. However, when he thought that the other party was Han Zhiyao, the discomfort in Li Ziyan's heart slowly dissipated and he nodded.
"Um."
His voice was barely louder than a mosquito's. He shifted his gaze, leaving Han Zhiyao with a glimpse of his profile. His expression was forced to be calm, but his fair skin was particularly noticeable when he blushed. His cheeks and ear tips looked as if they were lightly rouge-red, making him particularly charming.
Han Zhiyao raised the corners of his lips and smiled not too obviously. He held the armrests of the stool on both sides of Li Ziyan's body tightly with both hands to prevent himself from reaching out to tease those cute earlobes.
The two chatted for a while. Li Ziyan had a fixed time to practice every day. For them, no matter how good their talent or foundation was, they could not withstand the test of time. Even if Li Ziyan had done everything to the extreme, he could not, and would not, slack off.
After changing into lighter and more comfortable training clothes, Li Ziyan stood in the yard and practiced basic skills.
Han Zhiyao sat aside and watched Li Ziyan's actions.
He didn't feel slighted; instead, he admired Li Ziyan's actions. As a soldier, besides handling official documents, he also challenged himself to study military tactics and find time to practice with his soldiers. Just as Li Ziyan wouldn't slack off because of his status and abilities, he wouldn't be complacent because of his position. Only by constantly improving and breaking through oneself can one truly grow.
He looked at the pretty figure in the yard, and his face unconsciously softened. Adjutant Liu who was following him was also in a relaxed mood.
Li Ziyan has a light figure, and even when practicing, he performs every movement to perfection. Singing, reciting, acting and fighting, the four basic skills, each of them is displayed in the most standard way, but with his own characteristics.
Her steps were light, and every few steps she took in the yard was like a fairy floating over with her fairy air. Her voice was even more pleasant, and even if it was hung high, it did not sound harsh, but was particularly gentle.
Such a scene is pleasing to the eye, and coupled with the romantic decorations in the yard, it makes people feel happy and relaxed.
Adjutant Liu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the tension he'd been holding inside him ease. He glanced at Han Zhiyao, who had a gentle expression, none of the seriousness he'd shown facing documents and enemies. He seemed to understand why Han Zhiyao was friends with Li Ziyan, and why he cared so much about him. The two of them got along well, understanding each other, and Li Ziyan had a soothing aura that made it hard not to like him.
"You came here to see me, and I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. Isn't it boring?" Li Ziyan took the towel handed to him by Xiao Shitou, gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled at Han Zhiyao. "It's noon already, and it's time to eat. I'll treat you two to a meal today, how about it?"
"It's not boring, it looks good. You can eat anything, it's up to you." Han Zhiyao looked at Li Ziyan's lips when he said this. Because of the throat stretching, Li Ziyan drank some warm water, and there was a little water on his lips, which made them particularly rosy and bright.
He retracted his gaze and turned to look at Adjutant Liu, "Adjutant, go prepare the car, we'll go eat together."
"yes!"
Li Ziyan would definitely bring Xiao Shitou with him. He and Han Zhiyao sat in the back seat. When he glanced at Xiao Shitou, who was so excited about riding in a car for the first time, he felt helpless and amused, but his eyes showed a bit of doting.
Han Zhiyao had been observing Li Ziyan's condition, and naturally noticed the changes in Li Ziyan's expression. He looked at Xiao Shitou, and the curve of his mouth corners dropped a little.
Several people went to a Chinese restaurant. The teahouse and restaurant here still maintained their original characteristics. The owner took them to a private room and waited until they ordered the dishes and had tea prepared before going downstairs.
There is no menu here, so as the host, Li Ziyan naturally took on the responsibility of ordering the dishes. The chefs here are very skillful and the dishes were served soon.
"I don't know if you're used to it, so I just ordered some. See if it suits your taste."
Han Zhiyao smiled and looked at the food on the table. There were Longjing shrimps, stir-fried pork with wild rice stems, lotus root and pork rib soup, blanched prawns, and crab meat tofu. Most of them were light dishes. In addition, there was a roast chicken, Dongpo pork, and braised fish. There were also eight large bowls of rice on the small shelf next to the table.
Everyone thought that soldiers had big appetites and liked to eat chicken, duck, fish and meat, but no one knew that Han Zhiyao's taste actually inherited from his mother who came from the water town of Jiangnan, and he preferred lighter food.
If he said that the dishes Li Ziyan ordered were a coincidence, he would definitely not believe it.
Perhaps because his gaze was too intense and obvious, Li Ziyan pursed her lips awkwardly and spoke softly, "Last time you dined at Liyuan, you didn't eat much of the rich-flavored dishes, but ate more of the lighter ones. I thought you might prefer that flavor, but did you order the wrong one?"
"No, I like it very much." Han Zhiyao lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.
"These dishes are for Adjutant Liu and Little Stone. You should eat more."
Adjutant Liu was quite surprised. He really didn't expect that Li Ziyan would even take him into consideration. His attitude towards Li Ziyan also became a little closer.
Of the eight bowls of rice ordered, Han Zhiyao and Adjutant Liu ate three bowls each, Xiao Shitou ate one and a half bowls, and Li Ziyan only ate half a bowl.
It’s not that he has a small appetite, he just has a normal appetite. It’s just that the little stone is growing, while the other two can really eat.
They chatted outside for a while, and after Han Zhiyao sent Li Ziyan back to the Pear Garden, he returned to the Marshal's Mansion.
In those days, communication was not well developed, so the two of them couldn't contact each other by phone. Han Zhiyao had military affairs to attend to, and Li Ziyan had to perform on stage, so the two of them didn't see each other very often. They would see each other about once every two days, and they would talk for a whole day.
However, such a leisurely and comfortable life did not last long. In the second month after Han Zhiyao returned to the capital, the Japanese military sent a "delegation" to try to negotiate with Han Zhiyao.
"Bullshit! Get them out!" Han Zhiyao frowned and said in a bad tone, "We haven't settled the score with them yet, and now they dare to come here and seek death?!"
Adjutant Liu's expression was not good either. This group of Japanese were very good at taking advantage of others. Seeing that they could not defeat Han Zhiyao's troops, they said they came to ask for peace and wanted to cooperate. In fact, they just wanted to bribe Han Zhiyao and make him rebel.
I really don't know if they are fools or if they think Han Zhiyao is a fool.
Han Zhiyao looked at Adjutant Liu with a fierce look in his eyes, "Find someone to keep an eye on them and don't let them wander around."
"yes!"
