Gu Jingyuan looked at the little girl who rushed into his arms and felt that her face was familiar. Before he could remember who she was, he heard the little girl say in surprise, "Why is it you?"
The more he looked at Gu Jingyuan, the more familiar he seemed. After thinking for a while, Gu Jingyuan finally remembered.
It turned out to be her!
I didn't expect to meet you again.
"I haven't thanked you properly last time. It's so hard to meet you, why don't I treat you to a meal?" After all, this person is his savior, it would be wrong not to express some gratitude.
Besides, I am a heartless ungrateful person. I still have to treat you to a meal.
Shen Qingmiao, who vowed to treat everyone to a meal, probably forgot how much money he had on him.
Gu Jingyuan felt very fond of Shen Qingmiao's bright smiling face, which was like the warm sun in spring, giving people a sense of comfort.
Although he had a good impression of Shen Qingmiao, Gu Jingyuan still rejected her proposal, "No, that's what I should do."
As a soldier, it is his duty to protect the weak, and Gu Jingyuan has never thought about asking others to repay him.
Shen Qingmiao, however, was not going to let Gu Jingyuan go so easily. "If you don't go to eat, I'll feel bad. If you think about this every day, you'll definitely lose your appetite. Maybe one day you'll end up in the hospital because of overthinking. Just think of it as helping me out and go have a meal."
Shen Qingmiao was adept at acting pitiful and aggrieved. It was a rare opportunity to meet her, so she had to treat him to a meal no matter what.
It was the first time Gu Jingyuan had ever heard someone talk about treating someone to a meal in such a threatening way, as if not going would ruin their health. Yet, Gu Jingyuan didn't find it offensive at all. Being stared at by Shen Qingmiao's lively, deer-like eyes put him in a wonderfully cheerful mood.
It's really strange.
This little girl is really adorable.
Gu Jingyuan thought, maybe because his family only had boys, he had always wanted a sister. That's why when he saw Shen Qingmiao, who matched his ideal, he felt a surge of love in his heart.
"Okay, just consider it as helping me?" Seeing that Gu Jingyuan was still unmoved, Shen Qingmiao began to suspect that his method of playing the role of pity had failed.
Shen Qingmiao's request was so earnest that Gu Jingyuan thought that if he didn't agree, the little girl would probably cry.
When he thought of the mist rising in those bright eyes, Gu Jingyuan felt a sense of heartache.
He didn't want to see it.
So, Gu Jingyuan had no choice but to agree: "Okay."
As for who will treat us, we’ll talk about it later.
"Comrade Gu, are you planning to buy something?" Shen Qingmiao's question seemed a bit redundant as soon as he said this.
What's the point of coming to the supply and marketing cooperative if you don't buy anything?
Shen Qingmiao realized that he had asked a stupid question and could only smile awkwardly, looking around and not daring to look Gu Jingyuan in the eye.
So embarrassing!
Gu Jingyuan seemed to notice Shen Qingmiao's embarrassment, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he said gently, "There's no need to be so distant. I'm a few years older than you. You can call me Brother Jingyuan."
At first, Shen Qingmiao thought Gu Jingyuan was a hard-working person because of his cold appearance. But unexpectedly, he looked cold and stern on the outside, but he was actually very gentle and warm on the inside.
If the soldiers under Gu Jingyuan heard what Shen Qingmiao was thinking, they would probably doubt their lives.
Is this the adjective they use to describe Demon King Gu?
"You left in such a hurry last time that I forgot to tell you my name," Shen Qingmiao said, "My name is Shen Qingmiao, so you can just call me Qingmiao."
"I'll wait for you outside so I won't delay your shopping."
Shen Qingmiao quickly made way to allow Gu Jingyuan to go in and buy things.
The clerk had noticed the commotion and would glance over here from time to time. When he saw Gu Jingyuan's appearance, his face turned shy.
"Then wait for me here for a moment."
When Gu Jingyuan was buying things, the clerk was very enthusiastic, his eyes were glued to Gu Jingyuan, and he would show off his superior job position from time to time in his words.
The smile on her face was as sweet as a flower, and the word "desire" was almost written on her face.
Unfortunately, she met the cold-blooded Gu Jingyuan, who ignored all her little actions.
Shen Qingmiao stood at the door and saw everything that happened inside.
Seeing the clerk's dark face at the end, Shen Qingmiao couldn't help but want to laugh.
Who told her to look down on others? She has to look down on people before selling things.
After buying everything he needed, Gu Jingyuan came out and saw Shen Qingmiao laughing secretly, "What are you laughing at?"
Shen Qingmiao smiled and shook his head and replied, "Nothing."
She can't say she's watching you being obsessed with someone.
Shen Qingmiao had a bad feeling and thought that if he told her something, something terrible would probably happen.
"Now that you've bought your things, let's go." Shen Qingmiao looked at Gu Jingyuan carrying a pile of things and said, "Are you planning to visit relatives?"
Shen Qingmiao had a guess.
"Um."
Gu Jingyuan responded without rebuttal.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Qingmiao realized that he didn't even know the location of the state-owned restaurant.
Then how should she take Gu Jingyuan there?
Seeing Shen Qingmiao not leaving, Gu Jingyuan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Shen Qingmiao scratched his head and laughed dryly, "I haven't been to the county very often. Do you know the way to the state-owned restaurant?"
It would be so embarrassing to invite someone to dinner but not know the restaurant.
Gu Jingyuan smiled slightly and said, "I know. I'll take you there."
He didn't expect this answer, and he found his sister even cuter.
This time, Gu Jingyuan walked in front, and Shen Qingmiao followed behind.
Since it was inconvenient to carry all these things, Gu Jingyuan said, "I'll put the things back first and then go with you."
