Ever since leaving Luoyang, my father has found fault with everything about me and my second brother, constantly nitpicking. My second brother is alright, as he spends most of his time in the camp, but I'm miserable. Every time I have a day off, I see my father's face full of resentment and disgust.
After finishing the noodles, Lord Fu repeatedly praised them, saying that the taste was absolutely superb.
The group stopped talking and focused on eating.
After Qi Nuan finished eating, Lord Fu said, "Young friend, if you have time, have your son bring you to my residence to play. I'm just an old man at home, and it's quite boring."
"Lord Fu, just call me Anuan."
"Okay, okay, Ah Nuan, right? This meeting was a bit rushed. I'll make up for it with a gift next time. Although Luoyang isn't very interesting, there are still some rare things there. Or you can come to my residence and choose whatever you like."
"father."
The young man, seeing the old man's manipulative manner, wanted to call him "Dad" again.
"Shut up."
Well, the old man had a bad temper. He looked at the silent young master with an apologetic expression. Jiang Yu shook his head and simply watched the two talk without interrupting.
"Okay, I'll definitely visit you when I have the chance."
Qi Nuan spoke to Lord Fu with a solemn expression.
After finally seeing off the incredibly enthusiastic Fu Daren, Qi Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Qi Nuan, Jiang Yu smiled slightly.
"You're still laughing, but you're not saying anything."
"Let's go back, it's getting late. I wonder if Sister Ahua is getting impatient waiting for us?"
As they were talking, Xiangxiang saw a woman in plain clothes carrying a basket walk into the shop.
"Is this Sister Ahua?" Qi Nuan looked at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu nodded, and the two walked to the door, just in time to hear Ahua's voice, "Boss, nine roujiamo, please."
"Sister Ahua, you're here!" The waiter's voice was filled with surprise.
Soon, Ahua came out and was startled to see the two people standing at the door. Her face was full of surprise. "Anuan? What are you doing here? You didn't even make a sound and startled me."
"Ayu brought me here to eat. Sister Ahua, you know this place too? It seems this place is really famous. When I saw you just now, I thought I was seeing things, so I waited for you here."
Ahua nodded, "I'm on my way to the charity hall. Some of the children there like to eat this, so I came to get some for them. Do you want to come?"
Qi Nuan shook her head. Seeing that Ahua still had things to do, she decided to wait until everyone was together in the evening to discuss Xiangxiang's departure.
"I won't go. I'm a little tired today and want to go back and rest."
Ahua patted her head and said, "Okay, you should rest well. I'll be going now."
Then she turned to Jiang Yu and said, "Brother Yu, then I'll trouble you to take Anuan back."
Jiang Yu nodded.
Qi Nuan watched Ah Hua's departing figure with some distress. How was she going to tell everyone about this later? Xiang Xiang hadn't shown any intention of leaving before, so no one was prepared. This sudden turn of events was a bit hard to accept.
"Your face was practically a sour gourd, but they weren't that hard to accept. Look at you, you accepted it very quickly, didn't you?"
"We'll definitely see each other again in the future."
Qi Nuan nodded weakly, "That's the only way."
Seeing Qi Nuan's unhappy expression, Jiang Yu thought, "How about we go for a walk?"
"Aren't you going to work today?"
"It's nothing, nothing much today. Didn't you just see Young Master Fu? He didn't come to work today either."
That's good, of course. Although she was a little tired, she wanted to spend more time with Jiang Yu. Since arriving in Shangjun, Jiang Yu had always been very busy, and every time they met, it was a fleeting visit.
How about this one?
"How much, boss?"
"Ten coins."
Jiang Yu paid the money, took two steps toward Qi Nuan, inserted the wooden hairpin into Qi Nuan's hair, and nodded, "It looks very nice."
"Really?"
Qi Nuan took out the small bronze mirror she bought from the vendor in front of her and looked into it. A girl's face appeared in the mirror. Her delicate oval face was spotless, with cherry lips, a delicate nose, and smiling eyes. This was her in this life, Qi Nuan with Jiang Yu.
Qi Nuan looked up and saw that the boy had shed his childishness and grown into a young man. The aloofness on his originally cold face had disappeared, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. His eyes were full of warmth as he looked at her.
"Ah Yu, you are so beautiful."
Jiang Yu was slightly taken aback, then said, "Not as good as A Nuan."
This scene was witnessed by onlookers. The white-robed young man standing at a distance said to the person beside him, "I didn't expect my cold-faced brother to have this side to him. Interesting, interesting, very interesting!"
"Let's go and meet my younger brother."
"Young master, please stop here. These are turbulent times, so it is best not to cause any accidents."
The young man in white glanced at the old man beside him, his gaze turning cold. "Fine, fine, even so, let's go."
His gaze swept across the market, and he sighed casually, "Shangjun is nice, but how can it compare to Luoyang?"
Jiang Yu seemed to sense something, looked up at the direction the group had left in, and her eyes became deep and unfathomable.
"What's wrong?"
Qi Nuan looked over, but saw nothing.
"fine……"
Jiang Yu was about to reply like that when, as if remembering something, she continued, "I sensed someone watching us just now. The world is getting more and more chaotic these days, you need to be careful..."
"Shangjun is a good place, but too many people are secretly watching us. Our... identities are different now than before. If others tell you anything, you don't need to care. If you have any questions, just come and ask me."
Qi Nuan nodded. She knew Jiang Yu also had many secrets. Since he wouldn't say, she wouldn't ask. It wasn't a big deal anyway; she didn't care. However…
She lowered her eyes slightly, realizing that she wasn't exactly a good person either.
It seemed as if to confirm her statement.
"Miss, I'm so sorry..."
Before the person who bumped into her could finish speaking, Jiang Yu pinned him to the ground.
"What are you trying to do? I just accidentally bumped into you, and I've already apologized. What more do you want?"
People gathered around, and Qi Nuan, seeing this, snatched the purse from the man's waist.
"What is this? It looks like there's more than one person's."
The man panicked at her actions, his face turning bright red, but he still tried to argue, "That's my wallet, what are you doing? Give it back to me!"
Qi Nuan didn't even look at him, and said to the people around her, "Fellow villagers, please check if you still have your wallets?"
People immediately checked their wallets.
At that moment, a young man in white squeezed in.
"Miss, may I take a look inside? Is there a silver pouch?"
His hair was a little messy, and he looked a little anxious.
Qi Nuan looked and indeed saw a silver pouch, but to prevent someone from impersonating the owner, Qi Nuan asked, "Can you name a few items in this pouch?"
