After Xiao Yan's buttocks healed, the first thing he did was to go to A Lian's noodle shop. This time, Xiao Yan still didn't bring any money, and he did it on purpose.
Ah Lian was a little surprised to see Xiao Yan. She rolled her eyes at him and went back to her work.
Xiao Yan sat down in the noodle shop happily, watching A Lian busying around.
The more he looked at her, the more he thought A-Lian was a good person. Unlike Yun Chuxue, who kept her emotions secret and wore a mask all day long, Xiao Yan felt that if he married Yun Chuxue, they would never have a fight in their lives. What was the point of that?
But A-Lian was different. In front of A-Lian, he was just an ordinary man. If A-Lian liked him, it was because of him as a person, not his identity. When he was young, Xiao Yan actually had a girlish heart that was hidden deep inside, proud and pretentious. However, he would never admit this.
Xiao Yan sat down in the restaurant until it was time to close. Then A-Lian brought him a bowl of noodle soup from the kitchen and placed it heavily in front of him: "Here, eat."
Xiao Yan ate this bowl of noodle soup happily. He felt that it was still earned by his own charm.
From then on, Xiao Yan would come to A Lian's noodle soup restaurant every day, deliberately not bringing any money. He would wait until A Lian closed her stall and eat a bowl of free noodles every time.
Xiao Yan liked A Lian more and more day by day. He felt more and more that marrying a woman like A Lian was the only way to truly live his life.
However, Xiao Yan knew that his elders would not allow him to marry a woman of A Lian's status, so Xiao Yan was both happy and painful during this period.
Later, Xiao Yan thought it through. If his grandfather and father didn't agree to him marrying the woman he loved, he would take A Lian away. He didn't care about inheriting the Yanbei Palace anyway. His father was exhausted every day and had to look after the court's mood. Being the King of Yanbei was not a good thing.
He took his woman to guard Jiajing Pass for the rest of his life and had a bunch of children. Isn't that a free and unrestrained life?
After figuring it out, Xiao Yan became happy. He felt that the sky was bluer and the water was clearer every day, and even Mr. Zhao, who taught him, looked more handsome.
However, Xiao Yan's good mood did not last long, because his grandfather suddenly announced a "good news" on his birthday: he was engaged to Yun Chuxue.
Xiao Yan was extremely angry when he saw Yun Chuxue, who looked calm, meekly accept the hairpin given to her by her mother. However, he did not make a scene on the spot.
On this day, Xiao Yan went to see A-Lian later than usual, but A-Lian did not ask. When A-Lian closed her stall and brought him a bowl of steaming hot noodle soup as usual, Xiao Yan picked up his chopsticks and did not eat.
Ah Lian glared at him and said, "You don't want to eat? If you don't want to eat, I'll take it away."
Xiao Yan looked at A Lian's lively face and suddenly didn't know what to say.
A-Lian frowned: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Yan looked at A Lian for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Will you come with me?"
A-Lian was stunned.
Xiao Yan said seriously: "Even if you become my wife, don't worry, I will treat you well and treat you well for the rest of my life."
A-Lian was silent for a long time, then said, "You said you wanted to leave? Where to? Isn't Yunyang City good enough?"
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Something happened at home, and I plan to go to Ningxia to seek refuge with a friend. But don't worry, I still have some savings. I also have some skills, and I won't let you suffer with me."
This time, A-Lian was silent for even longer. Xiao Yan felt a little uneasy. After a while, A-Lian said, "I need to think about it."
Xiao Yan was delighted to see that A Lian didn't refuse outright. Thinking about it, he felt a little sweet. He immediately took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it in A Lian's hand: "This is for you. Think about it carefully."
A Lian looked down at the jade pendant in her hand and said nothing.
Three days after Xiao Yan confessed his love, A Lian finally gave him a reply.
"When are you leaving?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yan looked at A Lian with sparkling eyes and said, "I'll make arrangements on the fifth day of next month."
That day, Xiao Yan did not stay at A-Lian's place to eat noodles. He wanted to go back and plan for the future for himself and A-Lian. A-Lian stood at the door of the restaurant and watched him leave, and stood there for a long time.
