"And what about your cooking skills? Did you develop them after you joined the army?"
"Yes, back then, the old man had to go to the hospital every day and often had to work overtime, while I was in school. When I got home and was hungry, I had to cook and deliver the food to the old man."
In addition, both my grandfather and I are quite picky eaters, especially my grandfather. Over time, I developed my cooking skills.
However, luckily I've developed excellent cooking skills, otherwise how would I be able to properly cook for us in the future, right?
Zhu Qinghao felt a little embarrassed by what he said, but she was unwilling to continue in such a relatively disadvantaged position.
So she tried her best to hide her shyness.
"That's true, ordinary cooking skills won't meet my standards."
Sheng Yi grinned and turned his head to ask her.
"Well, I wonder if my little tricks will catch Miss Zhu's eye?"
Zhu Qinghao held her head high and gave him a look.
"It's alright, but there's still room for improvement."
"Yes, sir. This time when I go back to the unit, I will practice my sword every day and make sure I'll be better when I come back next time. How about that?"
Zhu Qinghao had briefly forgotten that he was about to leave, but this incident suddenly reminded her of it.
Everything was fine before, except for a slightly strange feeling in her heart. But now that the conversation has been open, she knows that it is her reluctance to part, and now this reluctance seems to be even stronger.
"Brother Sheng Yi, how long will it be before you can come back after you go back this time? Is it going to be another year or two?"
The thought of parting made Sheng Yi's smile fade considerably.
"Probably not, I'll try my best to come back as soon as possible."
Actually, he was reluctant to leave now. After all, Zhu Qinghao had just agreed to give him a chance to pursue her, and if he left now, there would be fewer opportunities to spend time together.
But thinking about what he would do next, he felt it was still worth it.
"I'm so sorry, okay. I just said I wanted to share this with you, and now I'm leaving you all alone here again..."
Sheng Yi felt deeply guilty, and Zhu Qinghao couldn't possibly blame him.
"It's okay, Sheng Yi. I considered your profession before I agreed to your request, and we can also correspond with each other."
Anyway, we're still in the stage of getting to know each other, so writing letters to each other regularly is another way, isn't it?
After hearing this, Sheng Yi also twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, that's right. We can keep in touch by letter."
Okay, then, can you promise me that you'll write back after you receive my letter?
Zhu Qinghao's habit was to reply to every letter she received, so she felt there was nothing she couldn't agree to and nodded very readily.
"Yes, don't worry, Sheng Yi, I will definitely write it."
Hearing her promise, Sheng Yi felt much more at ease.
They corresponded frequently, so it seems she couldn't forget him.
...
Even after Sheng Yi left, Zhu Qinghao was still somewhat dazed, feeling a sense of unreality about her conversation with him that afternoon.
She didn't know why, after being betrayed by a scumbag like Liu Yansong in her past life, she was willing to trust him so much after becoming Sheng Yi.
Is it because she now has more space in her life, has protected her family, and is therefore more confident, or is it for some other reason?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall the first time she met Sheng Yi in Hongshan Brigade, when she seemed to be attracted by his face and figure.
After learning about his connection to her childhood and hearing that the two had almost gotten engaged, her feelings changed somewhat.
Gradually, without realizing it, her gaze began to fall more and more on Sheng Yi, though she herself didn't notice.
