"No...didn't you buy the pork leg and send it to me?" Kong Wenjie said in a low voice, with a hint of pity in his voice that he himself was not aware of.
"Who... who sent it to you?" Fang Chengyin was still stubborn, sniffing and saying, "I just lost my mind for a moment, so I bought the pork leg and sent it to you."
"Oh. Really?" Kong Wenjie said in a deep voice, feeling suffocated. It was obviously not like this that day. It was obviously not Fang Chengyin's attitude towards him at that time. What happened?
Kong Wenjie stood stiffly in front of the table. Looking at the large pot of steaming pork bone soup, he was a little absent-minded for a moment, and remembered that morning -
"Did you really make the pork bone soup? Can you cook?"
"My parents passed away 20 years ago. We are the only two brothers left to depend on each other. Naturally, we have to learn how to do everything. My brother never wants to see the kitchen, so I have to learn how to do it."
"Why haven't I seen you cook before?"
"There are eight cooks in the prefectural government. Why would I be needed to cook?"
"But their cooking isn't as delicious as yours?"
"Then come find me whenever you want to eat pork bone soup."
"oh."
…
That day was really not like that. That day, the girl clearly liked the soup he cooked. That day, the girl looked at him with such tenderness that he even thought that in the girl's heart, he might be different from others, at least more than just a guard.
But, he had misunderstood and was wishful thinking.
How could a toad like him dare to dream of a white swan?
It's so ridiculous and sad.
Kong Wenjie wiped his face, then picked up the food box, bowed to Fang Chengyin, and said respectfully: "Miss, take care, I will take my leave."
After saying that, Kong Wenjie turned around and walked out, but Fang Chengyin called him from behind again.
"Where are you going?" Fang Chengyin watched him turn around and leave so quickly. She was so angry and sad that she couldn't help but call Kong Wenjie, "What's the matter? You've only been out for a while, and you're already rushing back? Are you so worried about your sweetheart?"
Kong Wenjie was startled, then turned around and looked at Fang Chengyin in confusion: "Sweetheart? What sweetheart did you say? Who is my sweetheart?"
"You're still pretending in front of me!" Fang Chengyin was furious when she saw his stupid look. "Don't you know who you like? Don't you know it yourself?!"
Kong Wenjie looked at Fang Chengyin's fierce face, and his heart began to beat unpromisingly. He felt a little annoyed and a little self-loathing. He lowered his head to avoid Fang Chengyin's gaze, and then whispered, "I know."
Seeing that he admitted it, Fang Chengyin's heart was immediately filled with bitterness. She felt that she was simply humiliating herself, but she just couldn't control her mouth, couldn't control her hypocritical mouth: "Very good! You are really a man who dares to take responsibility! Very good! I, Fang Chengyin, wish you can have many children and grandchildren even if you are infertile!"
Kong Wenjie felt that Fang Chengyin seemed to have misunderstood something, so he frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? Don't you understand? I sincerely wish you and that ugly girl in your family the best!" Fang Chengyin simply risked her life. She stood up and walked to Kong Wenjie in two or three steps, pointing her finger at him and said, "Do you dare to say that the pearl flower was not bought for that ugly girl?! Do you dare to say that you don't like that ugly girl?!"
"I have liked her." Kong Wenjie looked at Fang Chengyin's face, which was more crazy and angry than ever before, and his lost heart suddenly settled down.
"I knew you would..." Fang Chengyin continued to roar, and then she stopped roaring. She stared at Kong Wenjie, pursed her lips, and asked anxiously, "What does it mean to have liked someone?"
"I used to like her, but I don't like her now," Kong Wenjie said slowly. He put down the food box in his hand, stood up again, and said to Fang Chengyin seriously, word by word, "That girl is the first woman who cooked and washed for me besides my mother. Although I only treated her as a maid at that time, I was very grateful to her. She served us brothers so respectfully all the way from the capital to Ningguta. In fact, we are just guards. How can we be better than her? But she was so afraid of us that she didn't dare to say a word more."
