Since it was Gu Huaijin who proposed it, he definitely didn't like Su Yitang, but at the end of the story, the two of them still got together. Is this the power of the plot? No matter how the process changes, the ending will not change.
Song Zhi felt like she couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. The only thing she cared about was Gu Huaijin's attitude, which was completely different from before. She said with a relaxed smile, "I understand."
Song Zhi herself couldn't understand why her attitude changed so quickly. She clearly had no feelings for Gu Huaijin, but that couldn't be said. After being together for such a long time, people would always have some feelings, maybe a little bit of goodwill.
But when she heard that Su Yitang was coming, her heart sank. She couldn't even figure out why. She just felt depressed, as if a stone was pressing on her and she couldn't breathe.
But when Gu Huaijin told her that he and Su Yitang had already broken off their engagement, it was like a stone that had been pressing on her for a long time was gently lifted. Although she felt much relieved, she couldn't help but think that the original owner had been scheming and pressuring her for so long, only to find out in the end that everything was wrong, and even the person she hated was wrong. She didn't know what kind of mood she would be in at that time.
She herself is just a passer-by and will soon leave this plot. Although she doesn't want to admit it, during this period of time, she knows that Gu Huaijin is a very good and responsible person, but it's a pity that he is not hers.
She shook her head, clearing her mind of the random thoughts.
Seeing that she looked relaxed and no longer as nervous as before, Gu Huaijin felt relieved and turned off the lights to go to sleep.
When Song Zhi woke up the next day, realizing it was the winter solstice, she decided to make dumplings. She went to the market early, skipping breakfast, and bought a piece of lean pork belly. Although she didn't like fatty meat, adding a little fat to the dumpling filling did make it more flavorful. She also bought a bunch of fresh green onions, planning to make a pork and green onion filling.
After returning home, Song Zhi began preparing the ingredients. She first minced the pork belly, then added the appropriate amount of seasoning and mixed it thoroughly. Next, she washed and chopped the scallions and mixed them with the pork filling. The fragrance of the scallions blended perfectly with the flavor of the pork, making it easy to tell what the filling was.
After preparing the dumpling filling, Song Zhi began rolling out the dough. She sprinkled some flour on the countertop and formed the dough into a round ball. Then, she used a rolling pin to slowly roll the dough into a thin sheet. While the repetitive motion was a bit tedious, she felt a surge of motivation as she watched the dwindling filling filler.
After rolling out the dough, Song Zhi began wrapping the dumplings. She placed the filling in the center of the dough, then moistened the edges with her fingers, folded the dough over, and pinched it tightly. Each plump, white dumpling quickly took shape in her hands and was placed on the cutting board. She wrapped them meticulously, making each one almost identical in shape.
It was almost noon when the dumplings were wrapped. She was a little lazy and didn't want to cook, so she decided to make some dumplings to make do. However, she would have to eat them today and tomorrow as well.
She opened the pot and carefully placed the dumplings into the boiling water.
While cooking the dumplings, she made two dipping sauces with chili, vinegar, sesame and seasonings. She likes to dip dumplings in sauce when eating them, otherwise her mouth feels tasteless.
As the water in the pot gradually boils, the dumplings gradually become puffed up. Finally, the dumplings float to the surface, emitting an enticing aroma.
Song Zhi picked up the bowl and put a dumpling in it. She blew on it gently, and the aroma filled her nose. She took a careful bite. The filling inside was very hot and a little bit spicy, but it was also the most delicious one she had ever made.
On the winter solstice, the weather was exceptionally cold, as if the cold air had seeped into every corner. Even lying on the kang (kang) was too much to bear. Gu Huaijin and Song Zhi slept in together for a rare opportunity.
"You sleep a little longer, I'll get up and cook." Gu Huaijin sat up and put on his clothes while offering to prepare breakfast.
In fact, Song Zhi was not sleepy, but he was reluctant to leave the warm bed. "The dumplings are in the chest of drawers. Just put them in the pot and prepare some dipping sauce." Song Zhi instructed bluntly, stayed in the bed for a while, and then went out to wash up.
After eating dumplings, Song Zhi took out his textbook and asked Gu Huaijin some questions about what he didn't understand while he was taking a break.
Gu Huaijin patiently answered her questions, providing accurate answers and supplementing them with practical examples and applications. His explanations were easy to understand, allowing her to quickly digest the knowledge.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the art troupe was coming to perform. Song Zhi didn't have much feelings for Su Yitong because he hadn't seen her since she came here. He only heard her name in occasional conversations.
Since she was going to come and perform, I had no ability to stop her. Besides, meeting her was inevitable. Since this day would come sooner or later, there was no need to worry.
Su Yitang, who was being thought of by Song Zhi, had just gotten off the train. Seeing the huge difference between this place and Kyoto, he frowned slightly, but quickly recovered.
"Yitang, I really don't understand why you insisted on applying to perform here. We can't even escape from this place, but you are rushing to come here." Tang Qianqian, the team leader beside him, said this with obvious confusion.
"Qianqian, I want to see him."
When Tang Qianqian heard this, she panicked and grabbed her hand, saying cautiously, "Are you crazy? He's already married, are you still trying to get involved?"
Tang Qianqian also knew about their affairs. Although they did not grow up together, they lived in the same compound. Moreover, they later worked in the same place. They could not be said to be very close, but they were friends who could talk to each other.
"You clearly know that it was her interference. It's all because of her that things turned out like this. It's clearly her fault, so why am I the only one who got hurt in the end?" Su Yitang had a questioning look on her face, with a hint of imperceptible viciousness. She usually didn't smile, and it was inevitable that she looked a little scary when she showed such an expression at this moment.
Tang Qianqian was frightened by her behavior. She quickly let go of her hand and took a few steps back. Her face was full of disbelief, but she quickly returned to normal and said with some comfort: "So what do you want to do? Don't forget, you are a soldier. Don't you want to wear the hat on your head?"
"I'm not that stupid." Su Yitong sneered, her face full of disdain. There was no need for her to take action against such a stupid person.
"..." Tang Qianqian didn't know where her confidence came from. Even if Song Zhi had many faults, it was she who would marry Gu Huaijin in the end. She didn't know whether Song Zhi was in a clear mind or not, but she also knew Gu Huaijin. After all, their parents were in the same circle, and they saw each other every day, so naturally she knew something about him.
