Chapter 115: Tacitly agreed, go fishing together

This Lantern Festival was not peaceful.

When Liu Mingan woke up, he was already lying on the bed at home. Jiang Ning moved a stool and sat beside the bed, looking at him motionlessly.

"A Ning."

After Liu Mingan climbed up from the bed, he touched Jiang Ning's face with tenderness.

Jiang Ning tilted her head, rubbed Liu Mingan's palm with her cheek, smiled at him, and then said, "Are you hungry? I cooked noodles, just eat some."

After that, Jiang Ning got up and went into the kitchen, and brought out two bowls of freshly cooked steaming noodles. She cooked the noodles before feeding Liu Mingan the spiritual spring water, so the noodles were not mushy at all when they came out of the pot.

When she returned to the room, Liu Mingan was already sitting at the table.

Neither of them had dinner. They picked up the noodles and ate quietly without saying much. Liu Mingan went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and then heated water for the two to wash up.

When they finished washing up and lay down on the bed, it was almost midnight.

Liu Mingan reached out and pulled Jiang Ning into his arms as usual, touching her soft long hair, and whispered: "Go to sleep, Ning, you're tired all day, have a good rest."

Jiang Ning said "hmm" and closed her eyes in his arms.

The two of them tacitly did not mention what happened in the alley.

Liu Mingan knew Jiang Ning's intention to knock him out, and what would happen in the alley after he fainted, and Jiang Ning also knew that he knew it.

Originally, they were happily celebrating the Lantern Festival, but they encountered such an unexpected disaster, which ruined their good mood for the day. Jiang Ning felt that the three people deserved to die.

But Liu Mingan is different. Jiang Ning would never kill someone in front of him, even if killing a pig was bloody.

Knowing is one thing, seeing it with one's own eyes is another.

The next day, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Jiang Ning woke up and wanted to make breakfast, but was stopped by Liu Mingan. He took the lunch box and a porcelain bowl and went out. After a while, he came back with a big bowl full of glutinous rice balls.

"Although the Lantern Festival has passed, we still have to eat glutinous rice balls."

Liu Mingan said, and went to the kitchen to get two bowls, one for each person.

"Where did you buy the glutinous rice balls after this festival?" Jiang Ning was a little curious.

Liu Mingan explained casually, "There are always some that haven't been sold out. I went to the stall to ask and asked them to cook it for me. It's filled with black sesame and bean paste. Try it." Liu Mingan scooped

up a white and plump glutinous rice ball with a soup spoon and put it to Jiang Ning's lips. After seeing her eat it, he asked, "How does it taste?"

The glutinous rice ball was soft and sticky, and the black sesame inside was also very fragrant. The bean paste was soft and soft. In addition, there was fermented glutinous rice in the soup. The light rice wine flavor just neutralized the sweetness. When you take a bite, the fragrance lingers on your lips and teeth.

Jiang Ning nodded, said "delicious", and picked up the spoon to start eating.

Liu Mingan smiled and glanced at her, his eyes full of doting without knowing it.

After the meal, Liu Mingan continued to read and write as usual.

Jiang Ning sat aside grinding ink, and when she had nothing to do, she would stare at Liu Ming'an's profile.

To Jiang Ning, the focused Liu Ming'an had a kind of attraction, sometimes frowning, sometimes deep in thought, sometimes reading the scroll carefully and muttering to himself, sometimes picking up the pen to write a few lines... She watched every move of Liu Ming'an, and there was always a faint smile on her lips.

"Brother Liu, sister-in-law! Are you home?"

At a certain moment, a shout suddenly came from outside the yard. Liu Ming'an raised his head from the scroll, looked at the direction of the door and smiled: "Brother Zhou is here!"

"I'll go open the door."

Jiang Ning got up and walked towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, Zhou Yi's brilliant smiling face came into her sight.

"Sister-in-law, good morning!"

"Brother Zhou."

The two of them simply greeted each other, and Liu Ming'an also packed up his desk and came out. The three of them sat down on the stone bench in the yard together.

"Hey, brother Liu, sister-in-law, I was so busy after I went back that day. My mother sent me to work in the suburbs of Beijing two days ago. I only got some free time today... I haven't come to see you for a long time. Are you used to living here?"

Zhou Yi talked a lot as soon as he sat down. Liu Ming'an smiled and replied, "Everything is fine. Thank you for your concern, brother Zhou."

Jiang Ning got up and went to the kitchen to get a pot of water. She went back to her room and went to sleep, so that the two brothers could chat without worrying.

She had to stay in good spirits because she had to go out to find housekeeper Ma tonight.

"Aning, Aning..."

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ning vaguely heard someone talking. She opened her eyes and found that it was Liu Ming'an sitting beside the bed calling her.

"Are you awake? Get up and I'll comb your hair for you." Liu Ming'an said with a smile.

Jiang Ning said "hmm", got up from the bed and sat beside the dressing table, letting Liu Ming'an comb her hair.

"When did you come in? I didn't hear any movement." Jiang Ning said casually, but she was actually a little uneasy in her heart.

After she came to this world, she had lived too comfortably, and she no longer had the vigilance that a killer should have. Liu Ming'an came into the room so ostentatiously and sat at the head of her bed, but she could still sleep peacefully. If it were in the past, she would have died countless times.

I don't know if this change is good or bad.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning sighed in her heart.

"Just arrived. It's time to eat. I came to call you." Liu Ming'an didn't know what Jiang Ning was thinking, and was concentrating on tying her hair.

"Brother Zhou sent someone to deliver food again?"

Jiang Ning remembered Zhou Yi's style of doing things, and asked, and sure enough, Liu Ming'an answered affirmatively.

"By the way, Brother Zhou said he would take me out fishing this afternoon. Ning, are you going?" Liu Ming'an put on the hairpin and thought of this again.

"You guys go, don't worry about me." Jiang Ning answered without thinking, and when he was about to leave the room, he said, "I have something to do tonight, and I probably won't be back. Don't worry about me."

Liu Ming'an guessed that it was about the Prime Minister's Mansion. He couldn't help, so he could only nod and say, "Be sure to pay attention to safety!"

"I will." Jiang Ning stared into his eyes and promised solemnly.

After the three of them finished their meal, they sat in the courtyard for a while. The waiter from the Junyue Restaurant came over to clean up the dishes and brought a fishing rod and bucket.

"Sister-in-law, I'll take Brother Liu with me."

Zhou Yi greeted Jiang Ning happily and took Liu Ming'an out.

"Brother Zhou, where are we going to go fishing?"

After going out, Liu Ming'an looked at Zhou Yi with an excited face and asked with a smile while holding a fishing rod.

"Oh, you'll know when you get there!" Zhou Yi was so happy that he was floating on his feet: "It's been so busy during the New Year. I haven't fished for a long time. Zhang Shun has also left. Fortunately, you are here. I must fish to my heart's content today!"

Liu Ming'an actually didn't fish much, and he didn't understand Zhou Yi's enthusiasm for fishing.

Is it really that attractive to sit there for a long time with a fishing rod?

But seeing Zhou Yi's eager look, Liu Ming'an would not say such words to pour cold water on him. After all, he was free and had almost finished his book. Aning had to go out tonight. Instead of being worried and having wild thoughts at home, it would be better for him to follow Zhou Yi out and ask him about the things in the capital.
