Early the next morning, Wen Ziqing prepared breakfast.
Wen Ziqing felt a little downcast. He had planned to stay with the little girl until eleven o'clock this morning. But Grandpa was right. It wouldn't be right for him to go to the battlefield without telling Grandpa. After all, Wen Yiran had already passed away when Wen Ziqing went to war in his previous life. But this life was different. Not only was Wen Yiran doing well, he'd even been promoted to Minister of Energy.
Wen Yiran was very busy with work every day, but he insisted on calling Wen Ziqing every once in a while to ask about his college life. Unlike Wen Ziqing's biological father, Wen Yulong, who had not even called him in all these years, as if he didn't have a son like Wen Ziqing.
I'll have to talk to Grandpa about this when I get home. Otherwise, he'll be furious if he finds out I've signed up to go to the battlefield. And the little girl, should I confess my feelings to her before I leave? She's only thirteen, still a little girl! Maybe confessing to her now would scare her? I'd better wait until I'm back from the battlefield in one piece!
Looking at Zhou Yuanyuan eating with big mouthfuls of delicious food, Wen Ziqing sat at the dining table, thinking about his own things and feeling conflicted.
"Brother Ziqing, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yuanyuan looked up after finishing breakfast and saw Wen Ziqing sitting at the dining table in a daze. She asked curiously.
In Zhou Yuanyuan's impression, Wen Ziqing has always been calm and wise, and he has rarely been seen in a daze.
"Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you. I have to go back to see grandpa later." Wen Ziqing finally made up his mind, took a deep breath, and said guiltily.
"It's only natural for you to go see Grandpa Wen! How can you say you're sorry to me?" Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little puzzled. Wen Ziqing was going to the battlefield, so it was normal for him to go home and say goodbye to Wen Yiran and the others! How could he be said to be sorry to her?
"Yuanyuan, I..." Wen Ziqing was a little speechless. Indeed, everything was just his wishful thinking. In his heart, Zhou Yuanyuan ranked first, but in the little girl's heart, no one knew where he ranked.
"Brother Ziqing, I have a gift for you." Zhou Yuanyuan was in a good mood, her tone light and cheerful. Last night, Zhou Yuanyuan practiced all night, and Xiao Yumao worked hard to finish carving two diamond jade talismans. With her jade talismans protecting him, Brother Ziqing would surely be safe on the battlefield.
Zhou Yuanyuan took out a white jade peace locket with a red rope already threaded on it.
Please forgive Zhou Yuanyuan's aesthetic! In a past life, Zhou Yuanyuan had seen a piece of jewelry she loved but couldn't afford: a jade peace locket she saw while working as a cleaner at a mall in H City. So when Xiaoyu asked Zhou Yuanyuan what the jade charm looked like, Zhou Yuanyuan immediately pictured the peace locket. It was bare, without a single pattern or decoration, a simple, round piece the size of a one-yuan coin.
Although Xiaoyu felt that Zhou Yuanyuan's peace locket was too simple and unworthy of the high-ranking status of the Vajra Talisman, she changed her mind and thought that the smooth shape made it easier to depict the lines of the talisman. Compared with other fancy styles, the simplicity also had a simple and elegant beauty.
Just like that, two jade talismans in the shape of a peace locket were created by Xiaoyu. Little did Xiaoyu know that these two talismans would earn her the reputation of "Talisman God." But that's all for later.
Wen Ziqing was stunned when he saw the peace locket in Zhou Yuanyuan's hand. This was the first time the little girl had given him a gift, and Wen Ziqing was very happy. Unfortunately, soldiers were not allowed to wear any accessories, so he was afraid that he would disappoint the little girl's kindness.
"Brother Ziqing, lower your head." Before Wen Ziqing could say anything like "no," Zhou Yuanyuan tiptoed and patted Wen Ziqing's shoulder. There was no other way, Wen Ziqing was too tall, 1.82 meters tall. With Zhou Yuanyuan's current small body, if Wen Ziqing didn't lower his head automatically, the peace locket in Zhou Yuanyuan's hand would not be able to hang around Wen Ziqing's neck at all.
As soon as Zhou Yuanyuan gave the order, Wen Ziqing subconsciously lowered his body. By the time Wen Ziqing realized how to refuse, Zhou Yuanyuan's safety locket was already hanging around his neck.
"Yuanyuan, soldiers are not allowed to wear jewelry." At this time, Wen Ziqing came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to take off the peace locket from his neck. After thinking about it, he felt reluctant to do so, because this was the first gift his little girl gave him!
"Brother Ziqing, don't worry, I will use a trick to deceive people. Except for you, no one else can see your peace locket." Zhou Yuanyuan saw Wen Ziqing wanted to take off the peace locket and quickly explained. Originally, Wen Ziqing must hang this diamond jade talisman around his neck, and it can still play its role when he carries it on his body. But Zhou Yuanyuan was worried! The battlefield was so chaotic. If Wen Ziqing's jade talisman fell off, wouldn't her work be in vain? The most important thing is that this jade talisman can withstand bullets and artillery shells! If Wen Ziqing carries it, not to mention being able to walk sideways on the battlefield, at least his life will not be in danger, right?
"Yuanyuan..." Wen Ziqing was helpless. Although he knew that with Zhou Yuanyuan's means, people would definitely not be able to tell that he was wearing a piece of jade around his neck, but he was a soldier and he could deceive others but not his own heart!
Zhou Yuanyuan knew Wen Ziqing's inner resistance, so without thinking twice, she made a hand gesture and cast a spell on Wen Ziqing's peace locket. Sure enough, the peace locket became invisible, and even the red rope around his neck disappeared without a trace.
Wen Ziqing reached out to take off the peace locket from his neck, but found nothing.
"Brother Ziqing, come and take a look. You can't see it, right? Let me tell you, I can't even take it off now unless it falls off automatically." Zhou Yuanyuan pulled Wen Ziqing to stand in front of the mirror. Sure enough, Wen Ziqing in the mirror had a bare neck, with nothing on it.
Wen Ziqing reached out and ruffled Zhou Yuanyuan's hair. He really had no way to deal with this little girl. She had used all sorts of tricks, and now even if he wanted to take it, he couldn't find the peace locket.
In addition to the peace locket, Zhou Yuanyuan also took out a round pill, about the size of a longan, which gave off a refreshing fragrance.
Zhou Yuanyuan placed the elixir in a small jade bottle to prevent its fragrance from escaping. Xiaoyu had crafted the bottle from the white jade seed material Wen Ziqing had given her yesterday. It was small, exquisite, and had a simple, quaint design. With the example of the peace locket, Xiaoyu didn't dare offer any rash suggestions when she asked about the bottle's shape. Xiaoyu knew a lot anyway, so Zhou Yuanyuan let her handle anything she didn't understand.
