The tableware in He Youyou's home was nothing special.
She only likes pure white bone china, without patterns or decorations.
It's too monotonous to be white.
However, Zhao Changqing held the glass wine cup in his hand and studied it carefully for a long time.
He had never seen such a crystal glass.
Seeing his naive and unworldly appearance, He Youyou didn't say anything, but just waited quietly.
After he's had his fill of looking at the wine glass, pour him some wine.
These snacks on the table are actually quite suitable for drinking beer.
But I'm worried he won't be used to drinking sparkling wine.
"Governor Zhao, please try some of my family's dishes."
As a qualified host, He Youyou did her best to ensure that both the host and guests had a pleasant time.
Zhao Changqing's attention was finally drawn away from the wine glass and the surrounding environment, and focused on He Youyou across from him.
How did we get here?
He Youyou smiled and said, "I can bring you in with my mind, but I can't explain why. I don't understand why this happened myself. I was just staying at home, and suddenly one day, I ended up in your world."
"Are you from another world?" Zhao Changqing asked tentatively.
"Yes, you could say that."
"So... are you going back?"
"We can't go back, at least not now." He Youyou's tone was a little disappointed.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. Since I can't go back, and since fate has brought me to your world, I'll live well here and try my best to make something of myself."
Zhao Changqing finally understood where the strange thing about this woman came from all along.
It turns out, she wasn't from this world.
Her way of doing things and her wisdom do not belong to this world.
He suddenly felt some worries.
"You mean, if you find a way back in the future, you will leave?"
"Of course, why would I stay here if I didn't go back? My family is still in the original world, and I can't bear to leave them."
"But...but isn't there anything here that you'd miss...or anyone here? Ah Li...Wen Qi...don't you miss these people?"
And me...
Don't you care at all?
"Meeting is fate, and when fate ends, we will naturally drift apart. There is nothing to regret. People come and go, and relationships come and go; it is all part of life. There is no need to feel too sorry. On the road of life, there are many passersby, and we don't need to care too much about them. The more things you care about, the heavier your burden becomes. In your world, you value human relationships and filial piety, and so do we. The only thing that I can't let go of is family."
Zhao Changqing held his wine glass in his hand, remaining silent for a long time.
“Governor Zhao, if I work hard for a day, I will live each day well. I will treat all the people I meet and all the things I do well. Whether I stay or leave in the future, I will not regret every day I have spent here.”
“…Hanzhang, call me Hanzhang,” he corrected softly.
He Youyou chuckled softly and raised her glass to clink with his.
The glass clashed, making a crisp sound.
"Hanzhang, let's drink this cup."
The wine was fine, but Zhao Changqing was preoccupied with his own thoughts and couldn't quite savor its flavor.
He Youyou, however, had no such melancholy thoughts; she simply did not forget her purpose in coming here.
"Hanzhang, please consider my suggestion. You know in your heart that it won't do you any harm..."
"good."
Before He Youyou could finish speaking, Zhao Changqing agreed.
Even He Youyou was a little surprised when he uttered the word "good".
So...smoothly?
She had a whole host of reasons she hadn't yet voiced.
Zhao Changqing slammed the cup down on the table.
"He Youyou, I can give you anything you want." He looked at her intently, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
He Youyou was taken aback when she heard this.
She picked up the bottle and refilled both of their glasses.
"Thank you, Hanzhang."
He Youyou hadn't expected the conversation to end so quickly.
The rest was just drinking, eating, and introducing the local customs and products.
He Youyou was afraid that he would feel resentful, so she omitted mentioning the advanced technology.
“Youyou, your hometown is very nice…” Zhao Changqing said.
But... the person who's doing all the work is pretty good, could you...?
...Could you stay?
This was the second time in Zhao Changqing's life that he felt fear.
The first time was when I had to part with my relatives in the capital.
The second time was when they learned that He Youyou came from an unknown world and might return at any time.
He sincerely hoped that she would never go back.
What a selfish thought.
"Hanzhang, thank you. Even if I can go back in the future, I will never forget you. You are my only connection in the army, and you have helped me a lot."
He Youyou rested her chin on her hand, her eyes slightly tipsy.
Zhao Changqing remained silent for a long time.
After a long pause, he said, "Tomorrow, I will go to the government office, find Prefect Xie, and talk to him about this matter. I will help you with whatever you want. Apart from suspending the grain supply to the government-run wineries, do you have any other wishes?"
He Youyou chuckled and didn't stand on ceremony with him: "If privately-run wineries could also be restricted, that would be the best."
What is politeness?
How much does it cost per pound?
“Okay,” Zhao Changqing replied.
The two of them finished a bottle of wine.
He Youyou felt it was about time and said to Zhao Changqing, "Hanzhang, I'll see you out."
