Chapter 175 Eat melons, eat melons
There is a square kang table. Opposite Gu Xixi is He Jinglan, on the left is Shitou, and on the right is An Qinghe.
An Qinghe stared at Gu Xixi, while Shitou glared at An Qinghe as if he was guarding against a thief.
These two people have not changed their posture since they sat down.
Gu Xixi was so annoyed by their stares that she had to order them to leave. "Shi Tou, go play with Gou Wa. An Qinghe, you can take some snacks and tea and eat in your room."
The two people who had been silent all this time now said in unison:
An Qinghe: "I can't bear to leave your side."
Shitou: "I won't leave unless he does!"
How embarrassing! Gu Xixi held her forehead with her hand, not daring to look at He Jinglan's expression.
Three days ago, An Qinghe came to Huachidu Village again.
This time, Aunt Zhang arranged a place for him to live, which was next to the old doctor's room in the backyard. A small wooden bed was set up in the small compartment that originally stored medicinal materials.
At this time, An Qinghe looked at Gu Xixi with a pair of special blue eyes that were deep and charming.
"Xixi, this time Daye is at war with Beili, and the guards in Yunling County have become much stricter."
"I heard the news and was very worried about you, so I changed the trip I had originally asked the caravan to bring to you to include myself."
"As a result, when I arrived, Aunt Zhang told me that you had already gone to the border."
There was a moist light flashing in his eyes, "Xixi, do you know how scared I am?"
"Every day I watch the sunrise and sunset waiting for you, but you never come back."
"I became more and more worried and more and more scared."
Aunt Zhang happened to come in to get something and heard it. She said, "Xiao An is a really good kid. He told me last night that you have been overdue for return. If you don't come back today, he will go all the way to the border to look for you."
"Fortunately you came back today, so we can finally put our minds at ease."
Gu Xixi looked at An Qinghe and couldn't help feeling a little moved.
As a friend and partner who I have known for a short time, An Qinghe is indeed quite kind and righteous.
"I'm sorry, but we can't just send messages out from there. I made you worry."
Aunt Zhang waved her hand and said, "What are you talking about, kid?"
"As long as I can see you come back and stay with you for a long time, that's all I need."
Aunt Zhang went out, and Gu Xixi thanked An Qinghe again.
An Qinghe said, "Xixi, there's no need for us to thank each other. I have every right to worry about you."
"Besides, I came here for you in the first place."
Gu Xixi thought of something and asked, "You were with Aunt Qian and Sister-in-law Qin today."
"Could it be that you have been taking turns helping out in everyone's orchard these past two days?"
An Qinghe smiled embarrassedly, "You still found out."
He hurriedly explained, "But don't worry, I only touched the parts that I understood. There were a few small problems that the Pinellia Fruit Trees didn't know how to deal with, and I helped solve them."
"Besides, I didn't dare to touch the intercropping you did."
Gu Xixi bowed solemnly and thanked An Qinghe.
"I was late for my return and broke my promise to everyone. I am grateful for the help from Brother An."
Speaking of this, she felt somewhat self-blaming and ashamed.
No wonder everyone says everything is fine in the orchard. It seems not that there are no problems, but that all the problems have been solved.
An Qinghe saw what Gu Xixi was thinking and tried to comfort her, "They are just minor issues. It won't cause any problems even if you leave them alone for now. It's totally in time for you to come back and deal with them."
"It's me, it's just me who's bored and likes to meddle in other people's business and join in the fun."
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "Thank you for comforting me."
"But I did make a mistake this time. I thought it would be okay if I came back three or four days later."
"As a result, my family members were worried and the fruit trees also had problems."
An Qinghe was afraid that she would be sad, and was at a loss what to do, "Xixi, don't think like that."
"Well, there's a saying..."
"Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be without mistakes~!"
Gu Xixi was stunned and couldn't help but correct him, "What you mean is that no one is perfect, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes." An Qinghe nodded repeatedly.
"Don't blame yourself. I know you want to accomplish something big. Since we are going to work together in the future, it is my duty to do things for you."
"Besides, compared to what you did, what I did was just a small favor."
When he was moved, his eyes were sincere, like a pool of blue water, the waves were gentle yet warm.
Gu Xixi was originally looking at An Qinghe, but later she suddenly felt uncomfortable and quickly looked away, only to find that He Jinglan was supporting her chin with one hand and smiling meaningfully.
Gu Xixi was very embarrassed, but she didn't dare to show it.
Just as I was trying to find an excuse to change the subject, Aunt Zhang lifted the door curtain, leaned in and said:
"It's time to cook. Xiao An, you come and light the fire. Shitou, you come and see if there is any sand in the rice."
He Jinglan stood up obediently, "Aunt, I'll help too."
Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Hurry up and sit down! You are the guest, and you two just came back today, so you should rest up first. You and Xixi can talk here."
There were two girls left in the house.
He Jinglan glanced at Gu Xixi and showed a playful expression again.
"It's only natural for us to work together in the future...oh..."
Gu Xixi's brows tightened and she put down the teacup she had just picked up. "Just say what you want to say."
He Jinglan asked with a smile, "Who is this Mr. An? Can you tell me more about him?"
Since it was a secret conversation in the boudoir, Gu Xixi generously told about how she met An Qinghe and the possibility of future cooperation.
He Jinglan suddenly realized, "So he fell in love with you at first sight?"
There were invisible black lines hanging behind Gu Xixi's head.
"Don't think too much about it. People in that country just socialize in such a passionate and unrestrained way."
He Jinglan didn't seem to listen to this explanation. She looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's over, it's over. From my perspective, he is not the same type as Mu Nanzhao, but he is definitely not inferior to him."
“And he has many advantages.”
He Jinglan counted them on her fingers, "She is good-looking, and her eyes are uniquely beautiful."
"If he can be honest about what he's thinking, it means he won't hide anything from you."
"Enthusiastic, pleasant to the ear, makes people happy when they hear it, which is much better than the cold and indifferent one."
"And, you are so brave. I came to find you even though I knew there was a war on the border. I even went to the border to look for you."
Gu Xixi was already lying on the table weakly.
"Jinglan, I told you... Anqinghe and I are not what you think."
He Jinglan smiled to show that she heard it.
Then he said, "I have decided to stay for a few more days. I will pay Aunt Zhang for board and lodging tonight."
I must find an opportunity to persuade Boss An later and try to get him to stay for a while longer.
Thinking of this, He Jinglan couldn't help but chuckle.
Gu Xixi saw her expression and sat up straight. "You are thinking, right now, that you must wait for Mu Nanzhao to come back, so that there will be something interesting to watch...right?"
