"Ding Dong, hidden side quest completion rate: 100%. System reminder: You may have hidden character lines that can help you complete the quest even more perfectly. Please continue to dig hard, and you will receive double the reward. Deadline countdown: one month."
"Double reward? Does that mean the wish fulfillment rate is 40%?"
"That's right, host!"
Chen Yao: ...
Is she really not being fooled?
While I was thinking, there was a muffled "knock" sound on the window of the room.
Chen Yao glanced over there curiously.
Then there was another "knock" sound.
She felt as if she had guessed something, so she quickly got out of bed, walked over quickly, and opened the window with a few "clicks".
"General! Why are you here?" Chen Yao covered her mouth and looked at him in surprise, asking in a low voice.
Xiao Yan looked at her with burning eyes, and smiled: "Yaoyao, I missed you so much, so I came to see you specially."
Chen Yao blushed. There had been too many things going on recently, and they had just almost ended. She was thinking of going with Qi He in a few days to see how he had recovered.
Unexpectedly, he showed up.
"General, has your body... recovered now?" She looked at him curiously.
Xiao Yan felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at him. He nodded silently and said, "I'm almost recovered, Yaoyao, thanks to you, ahem..."
Chen Yao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can you move normally now?"
Xiao Yan: "Well, not only can he walk normally, he can even climb over walls."
Chen Yao: ???
The corners of her mouth twitched: "So you didn't come in... by climbing over the wall?"
Xiao Yan nodded honestly and said, "Yes, I just wanted to come in to see you and tell you that I will come to propose marriage in a few days."
Chen Yao was startled, "Have you already started preparing?"
Xiao Yan nodded seriously and said, "Well, Yaoyao, I want to come here early and ask for your hand in marriage from the elders to make my intentions clear."
What he didn't say was that he was also afraid that Chen Yao would be snatched away by someone early, and then he would have no place to cry.
Chen Yao smiled and said, "General, I will wait for you to marry me."
Xiao Yan's heart moved, and his Adam's apple couldn't help rolling up and down. He suppressed the urge to kiss her immediately out of joy, and then suddenly took out a wooden box and handed it to her.
"This is the jewelry I bought especially for you. Open it and see if you like it."
Chen Yao took the wooden box and gently opened the lid, then saw a crystal clear orchid-shaped white jade hairpin and a gold bracelet inlaid with rubies.
The orchid white hosta is beautiful and exquisite, of extraordinary quality.
Although the ruby gold bracelet looks beautiful, it is a bit tacky. However, its value is very high in today's world.
Overall, he is very attentive.
Chen Yao smiled and said, "I like it very much. Thank you, General, you are so thoughtful. However, I also happen to have something to give you. Please wait here for a moment and I will go get it."
Xiao Yan: "Okay."
After Chen Yao put away the things Xiao Yan gave her, she took out a new sachet and sword tassel from a separate wooden box and walked quickly to the windowsill.
"General, this is what I made recently. Please take a look and see if you like it." She handed him the sachet and sword tassel in her hand.
Xiao Yan took it and smiled silently, "I like it very much, thank you."
With the sachet and sword tassel he received now, plus the sachet Chen Yao gave him before, he can now hang a sachet on his body, put a sachet by his bed, and tie the sword tassel to the sword. Perfect.
When Chen Yao saw his sincere smile and wanted to ask him if he had anything else he liked, a loud cough suddenly sounded not far away.
"Ahem."
"It's time, brother Yan, it's time for you to leave."
The person who made the sound was Qi He.
Xiao Yan glanced at Chen Yao reluctantly and said softly, "Yaoyao, I have to go. I'll come to see you next time I have a chance."
Chen Yao was also a little reluctant and waved to him.
Qi He came over, put his elbow on Xiao Yan's shoulder, and urged him, "Let's go. My father will find out if we're any later."
Xiao Yan paused, then suddenly asked, "How about I come to your place tonight?"
Qi He: ...
Is that what he meant?
"Of course not, just go away." Qi He clicked his tongue.
"Stay for two days? Actually, I also have a grape field." Xiao Yan threw out the bait.
Qi He: ...
Does he look so seducible?
"Xiao Yan, why haven't I seen you be so generous before? You just give me something as soon as you ask? Are you from a grape-producing area?"
Qi He gritted his teeth. He had tried to manage the grape plantations before, but the result was not as good as Xiao Yan's. The grapes grown by the people he hired were sour and small in size. They were completely different from the grapes produced by Xiao Yan, which were sweet and large in size.
Xiao Yan said calmly, "Oh, I also have other fruit plantations, not just grapes."
Qi He: ...
He didn't want to pay attention to him, so he turned around and said to Shen Yao who was standing by the window: "Sister, we will leave first, remember to close the doors and windows."
Chen Yao nodded, said okay, and watched them leave.
After Qi He led Xiao Yan away, he nudged him lightly and whispered, "Come to think of it, why do I feel like you're a lot more obedient here? You don't have the arrogance you have back home at all."
Xiao Yan: ...
Can't you be honest?
Just now, when he was handing or receiving things, he didn't even dare to touch Chen Yao's hand, let alone anything else.
After all, if General Zhongwu suddenly appeared, he would be finished.
What he didn't know was that General Zhongwu had already gone to bed with his wife and had no time to check if there were any outsiders in the house.
Qi He sent Xiao Yan to the corner of the east wall, then stopped, raised his chin, and signaled that he could leave.
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aren't you going to take me through the main entrance?"
If you can go through the main gate, of course you should go through it. It’s always better than climbing over the wall.
Qi He didn't think so. He just wanted to see Xiao Yan climb over the wall.
So, he made up an excuse and said, "If you go through the main gate, how am I going to explain to the gatekeeper how you got in?"
Xiao Yan: ...
He finally understood that Qi He didn't want to take him through the main gate at all.
Okay, then he can just climb over the wall and go out the same way he came in and out, that’s great.
"Well, I'll go first." Xiao Yan looked at him.
Qi He crossed his arms and nodded.
Then we saw Xiao Yan's quick and decisive moves to climb over the wall.
Tsk, this kid seems to have recovered quite well.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and then he walked back with a smile.
