"This girl is hard to win over! Hahahaha!" Qian Weiyong laughed so hard he almost fell over.
Wu Sicheng said helplessly, "Stop laughing. Can you stop making fun of me so blatantly? He's my elder, after all."
“Hmm, right, don’t laugh, let me think of something for you. So you’re learning to cook so that she can eat it? Doesn’t she know how to cook?” Qian Weiyong asked Wu Sicheng, suppressing a laugh.
Yes, and it tastes especially delicious.
Does she know about your family background?
"She didn't go into details, but I think with her intelligence she should be able to guess something."
"You're not tempted by such great conditions? Are her conditions really that good?"
"Her father and mother were both very capable, but it's a pity they both sacrificed their lives. Their level of refinement was comparable to my mother's, or even greater; they wouldn't look at anything but the finest."
"Anything else?"
"After half a year in the countryside, I received a stack of certificates of merit, and I was just named an outstanding educated youth in the province."
"She's exceptionally beautiful!" Qian Weiyong winked.
Wu Sicheng coughed awkwardly and said, "Don't be so superficial!"
"Pshaw, come on! Don't tell me you've developed feelings for her after spending so much time together. Do you even have that much time? Who are you kidding?"
"Isn't love at first sight allowed?"
"Okay, all love at first sight is lust at first sight, it's all ill intentions, men and women are the same."
"I can't argue with you."
"I'm right, you can't argue with that. Eat up, and then I'll give you a haircut." With that, he picked up the biggest piece of chicken and started eating.
"You still haven't said what to do?" Wu Sicheng reminded him, "You've asked so many questions, but haven't given any useful advice yet!"
"Hmm? Where are you spending Chinese New Year?"
"She stayed with her, but she lived by herself."
"Oh no! This is terrible! You're going to make a mistake! Do your parents know?"
"I didn't know, but I told you anyway. Besides, our relationship is completely innocent, okay?"
"Why would she let you stay at her place? A man and a woman all alone together."
"I told her I had a secret mission and nowhere to go. She's saved me several times already," Wu Sicheng said apologetically.
"No wonder! How embarrassing! There's a reason why you can't get anyone."
"What's the meaning?"
"You've been saved so many times, how weak are you! You're a complete wimp. What girl wants a boyfriend who's weaker than herself? No wonder you can't get anyone. Give up!"
"No, I won't give up until I catch her."
"Then there's only one move left."
"What?" Wu Sicheng stared at him expectantly.
Seeing his expression, Qian Weiyong said, "I can't bear to watch anymore, tsk tsk! I only have one trick, I don't know if it will work? Boiling a frog in lukewarm water, slowly simmer it! You have to find a way to infiltrate every aspect of her life, to make her gradually develop feelings for you, to make your presence felt more, to do more things. The most important thing is to let her know that you're not as weak as you think. After doing all that, let fate decide!"
"There's no other way, do you think it will work?"
"I don't know, why don't you try another one? A whole row of them can wave."
"No, none of those are her."
Qian Weiyong chewed on chicken, rolled his eyes, and thought, "That's it. Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still venturing into the tiger's den, who can he blame but himself?"
After finishing his meal, Wu Sicheng cut Qian Weiyong's hair and then hurriedly left.
Qian Weiyong watched his retreating figure, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "How could someone who's usually so composed become so impulsive! Love really does make people blind; it's no good, no good!"
......
When Wu Sicheng returned to An Moxue's house, it was already dark. He carried a deer on his shoulder and a few pheasants in his hand, with two little ones following behind him.
When An Moxue saw him return, she asked, "Did things go smoothly?"
"Yes, everything is fine. Mo Xue, how would you like to eat this deer?"
"Roasted venison ribs, roasted venison, or roasted whole deer are all fine."
As Wu Sicheng recalled Qian Weiyong's words, which had permeated every aspect of her life, hearing her say this again, every cell in her body was screaming, "Do it! Do it!"
An Moxue was impressed by Wu Sicheng's boundless energy and ability to strike from a distance—youth is truly wonderful!
Then he laughed at himself. He was only sixteen years old, six years younger than him!
Wouldn't that make you younger and more energetic!
'It's so good to be young! Keep going!' she told herself.
"Mo Xue, what are you thinking about? It's cold outside, come in quickly!" Wu Sicheng urged.
"Okay! Coming soon."
"Do you need any gifts?" Wu Sicheng asked.
"No, they've all been delivered. Pack them all up!"
"Okay, whatever you say. What dishes should we cook tomorrow? Have you prepared everything? Is there anything we need? I'll go buy it."
"One deer, one chicken, one fish, I haven't thought of anything else yet. What are your ideas? I want to make ten dishes and some dumplings."
"Braised fish, chicken stew with mushrooms..."
"No, how about braised chicken with chestnuts?"
"I haven't learned this, I don't know how to do it!"
“It’s okay, I’ll make it. Let’s make roasted venison chops, the kind with honey, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. They’ll taste delicious when they’re roasted to a golden brown!” An Moxue said, gesturing as she spoke.
Wu Sicheng thought that this was the state a young girl in her prime should be in; she usually kept herself too tense.
“I’ll make this,” he said as he peeled off the deerskin.
An Moxue said matter-of-factly, "Of course you made it, because yours tastes better than mine!"
An Moxue sat by the stove, watching the fire, and asked, "Do you like to drink?"
"I wouldn't say I like it, I can only drink a little, I don't have a high tolerance. You know, in the army, drinking is sometimes unavoidable." Wu Sicheng didn't look up, handling the deer in his hands.
Do you like to eat deer innards?
"What's wrong?"
"If you don't like it, don't bother cleaning it. I'll give it away to save you the trouble. Also, get a piece of venison, not too big, just a few pounds will do."
"Okay, bring me a basin, I'm about to gut him."
After Wu Sicheng finished gutting the deer, An Moxue carried a basket of deer entrails and a piece of venison out the door.
When An Moxue returned, Wu Sicheng had already cleaned up the deer, the water in the pot was boiling, and Wu Sicheng was sitting on a small stool scalding the chicken feathers.
"Why are you back so soon?" Wu Sicheng didn't expect An Moxue to return so quickly.
“I didn’t go inside. I just gave the basket to Uncle Ma at the front door and came back. That old man loves to eat all kinds of animal offal.”
"Don't you like it?"
"I eat it, but I wouldn't say I like it. However, I don't eat intestines; I really dislike the taste. What about you? What don't you eat?"
"Me? I guess either way is fine! I'm not picky." He didn't even look up, continuing to deal with the chicken feathers in his hands.
"It's so good that I'm not a picky eater, unlike me, I don't like to eat a lot of things."
"Of course, I choose what I like to eat when there is food available. I also gradually developed the habit of eating anything after I went on a mission. Otherwise, I can't go hungry when there is no other choice."
"Yeah, hurry up and get ready so we can eat. By the way, have you had lunch yet?"
"have eaten."
"That's good. I would feel uneasy if we didn't eat and had to clean up the game when we got back."
Wu Sicheng – Thank you, I didn’t see it at all.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the courage to say it.
