Ignoring Zhang Yi's expression, Wu Jian nodded to Xu Nian.
When she inquired about her relationship with Zhang Yi, she learned that they had just met and was secretly alarmed.
He knew Zhang Yi best; he was notoriously bad-tempered and difficult to deal with.
The fact that this newcomer named Xu Nian is receiving special treatment from him means that he must have the ability to win Zhang Yi's favor.
Wu Jian looked towards Yantai, already having made up his mind.
Without a doubt, Zhang Yi's cooking skills could never produce something this delicious.
The cafeteria's style is all about boiling and steaming; they can't make food cooked in a pot like that.
While fighting with Zhang Yi for food, Wu Jian already knew that he was eating fish and bird fins and claws.
"Xu Nian, what reward do you want?" Wu Jian pondered for a moment. If this girl wanted to go back, it wouldn't be impossible if she handed over the formula.
“Commander Wu, I don’t want anything. But if you insist on giving it to me, I’d like to give this opportunity to my husband.” Xu Nian smiled gently and looked at Ying Fan.
“Niannian, I don’t really want anything.” Yingfan felt a warmth in his heart. Perhaps she didn’t know what a great opportunity this was, but he did.
She's willing to give him the best of everything, which means his status in her heart has risen again.
Wu Jian felt a pang of jealousy watching the two young boys exchanging glances.
At my age, I still have to endure the displays of affection from young people. It's really too much.
"Since none of you want it, I'll keep this opportunity for you. Come find me anytime you want." Wu Jian felt very regretful that he hadn't been able to get his hands on the formula.
Zhang Yi and Wu Jian are truly good brothers; they can tell what he's thinking just by looking at his expression!
He immediately grinned slyly and leaned closer, waving the recipe on his phone in front of Wu Jian's eyes. "Old Wu, you'll be asking me for favors all the time from now on."
"Old Zhang, you already have the formula, why didn't you say so earlier?" Wu Jian reached out to snatch Zhang Yi's phone.
This time, Zhang Yi was on guard, and his phone was not taken away. He locked the phone with a smug look on his face, refusing to let Wu Jian see the recipe.
Zhang Yi's eccentric behavior made Wu Jian laugh.
Even though Zhang Yi already had the formula, Wu Jian thought for a moment and looked at Xu Nian and Ying Fan, saying, "My promise from earlier still stands."
...
When Xu Nian walked out of the kitchen, she was still a little dazed.
It's unbelievable that she traded a braising spice recipe and a roasting spice recipe for a major promise.
Seeing that Xu Nian was still a little confused, Ying Fan patted her head and said, "Niannian, you don't understand what the fish and bird mean to Xingluo Kingdom! You also don't know what your two formulas mean to Xingluo Kingdom!"
That was a completely new change; the fresh, fragrant, tender, and spicy flavor was an unprecedented new attempt.
Yingfan still reminisces about the taste of fish and bird.
He prefers grilled fish and birds to braised ones.
It was so delicious; it was the best thing he had ever eaten in his life.
The previous nutritional supplements and meals tasted bland in the face of the grilled fish and birds.
"Niannian, could you teach me how to make grilled fish and braised fish?" Yingfan was too embarrassed to ask Xu Nian to cook for him every time.
He preferred to cook for her himself rather than let her do it.
He also wanted to make her happy while eating, and he wanted her to know that he was really trying to change himself for her.
Whether it's the way he loves her or the image she desires, he tries his best to achieve it.
“Of course, it’s not a secret.” Xu Nian followed suit and sent Ying Fan a copy of the seasoning recipe.
Having obtained the complete recipes, Yingfan carefully studied them several times. He was determined to thoroughly understand these two recipes and strive to develop even more flavors.
He had just noticed that Xu Nian had a particular fondness for braised fish and birds.
"Yingfan, where do we stay?" Xu Nian didn't know what was wrong with her; she was very sleepy and wanted to find a place to sleep peacefully.
"Niannian, come on, I'll carry you across." Ying Fan squatted down in front of Xu Nian.
There are free vehicles available, so why not take advantage of them?
Xu Nian climbed onto Ying Fan's back and was effortlessly carried by him.
"Yingfan, how long will we stay at the border?" Xu Nian's vision was excellent; she could see the border walls and the mental ability users fighting the fish and birds on the walls.
A torrent of spiritual energy of various colors surged forth, instantly killing any fish or birds that were struck.
Some were smashed into pieces, some were thrown away, and some fell below the city wall.
"Niannian, if I want to stay here on the border forever, would you be willing to stay with me?" Ying Fan lowered his head, his voice was steady, but the hand on her knees tightened unconsciously.
"If I don't stay here with you, where else can I go?" Xu Nian smiled gently.
He was her 100,000 points; she would follow him through thick and thin, vowing to be his one and only for life.
There was no way around it; she cared more about points than loving him.
“Niannian, don’t you blame me? You could have been enjoying life in the capital of Xingluo, but I selfishly brought you here. I even thought about keeping you with me at the border. Don’t you think I’m selfish and shameful?” Ying Fan smiled bitterly. Not to mention whether Xu Nian would think that way, he himself felt that he was shameless and selfish.
His dream is to guard the border.
He couldn't bear to give up his dreams, nor could he bear to give her up.
He despises himself.
Xu Nian couldn't see Ying Fan's expression, but she could guess his conflicted look.
Actually, he was overthinking it. The capital of Xingluo Kingdom was nice, but she also wanted to see different scenery.
The border is dangerous, but what can you do when he's here?
With a slight sigh in her heart, Xu Nian playfully tugged at Ying Fan's short hair and said, "Ying Fan, let me ask you, will you let me suffer?"
"No." Ying Fan was confident that Xu Nian's quality of life here would not be worse than in the capital of Xingluo.
The border isn't a barren land; things on Xingluo.com are readily available.
Xu Nian playfully ruffled Ying Fan's short hair and continued to ask, "Then would you let me die?"
“It’s impossible.” Ying Fan’s voice suddenly rose.
If he failed to protect her, it must be because he was no longer there, not for any other reason.
He can die before her, but she cannot die before him.
"Would you betray me? Betray me in any way you can!" Xu Nian leaned close to Ying Fan's ear, her gentle voice carrying a strange question.
"No, Niannian, believe me. Even if I only have my soul left, I will not betray you," Ying Fan said firmly.
He didn't know where he got the confidence and assurance to say those words, but he just sincerely wanted to tell her.
He would never betray her.
Neither life nor death can separate us.
Xu Nian kissed Ying Fan's cheek hard, then wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "Ying Fan, I've realized I like you even more now."
