On a calm afternoon, Xiao Xu received a letter from Kyoto, and that afternoon, he did not leave the camp.
Chu Qingyan stood under the tree outside the tent, looking at the closed tent for a long, long time.
Until Jinxin appeared behind her.
"Master." When there were outsiders, he called her Master, and when there were no outsiders, he still called her Master.
"Believe me, have you ever had the thing you want to do most in your life?" Chu Qingyan asked lightly, turning her back to him.
After thinking about it, Jingxin replied, "My subordinates have their own memories in their minds, just these five years, a lifetime is too long, and I can't make a budget too early, but in my heart, what I always want to do is to protect the master, not to. cause you any harm."
Chu Qingyan was a little moved, and then smiled lightly, "I sincerely believe that a person's life is neither long nor short, you don't need to regard protecting me as a task, you have joined the army now, and you have your own way to go. Heaven and Earth, you will have more things you want to do in the future, and there will also be people you want to protect."
Jinxin looked at her back and did not answer. Although he felt that what the master said was reasonable, but at this time he did not want to obey. Maybe in the future, he would indeed have more things he wanted to do and people he wanted to protect, but He will never forget the first and most wanted thing to do since he can remember.
It's just that he doesn't need to tell his master, actions are more important than words.
Chu Qingyan didn't hear the voice behind her, and she didn't care. She looked in the direction of Jiangnan from afar, her eyes were faint, and some indistinguishable emotions were surging inside.
The scorching sun in summer is very dazzling, and she is a little surprised at this moment.
If you have to go through some hardships before doing what you want to do, to be able to do what you want, then cut through the mess and remove these obstacles!
Her eyes became firm, she withdrew her gaze resolutely, then turned around and patted Jinxin on the shoulder, "Go and do it."
Then she strode towards the tent of the big ice cubes.
Jinxin looked at her back slightly in surprise. Although it was the same back, he could feel that the master at this time was less hesitant than before, and more determined and calm.
He couldn't help laughing, Master, no matter what you decide, your subordinates will follow to the death!
When Chu Qingyan lifted the curtain, a smell of wine hit his nostrils.
She frowned. Big Ice is a self-disciplined person. Even if the soldiers were drinking and celebrating in the camp, he would not drink a drop of alcohol, in order to stay awake enough. However, at this time, he actually drinks, is he depressed to the bottom
A hint of distress flashed in her eyes, and after a pause, she continued to walk forward.
On the desk, all the official documents and letters were pushed aside, a wine jug and a bowl were placed, and he was leaning on the back of the chair, with his elbows on the armrests, his palms on his forehead, and his expression was incomprehensible. Unknown sadness.
Chu Qingyan was stunned subconsciously, and she made a noise when she kicked something at her feet.
The person behind the desk spoke lightly, with a voice far from the horizon, "Who?"
Such an ethereal voice is no longer the mellow and low-pitched voice of the past, and some are just as light as the wind without any effort.
I don't know why, but it felt like a wind was blowing lightly in my heart, I didn't hear any echoes, some only had the sound of wind whistling, empty, and then a little painful.
Xu Shi didn't hear the other party's response, Xiao Xu pressed his eyebrows, then raised his eyes slightly, and saw the person standing in front of him with wet eyes.
Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, Xu Shi did not expect her to appear here at this time.
Chu Qingyan walked over, picked up the wine jug on the table, and placed it in her hand, it was already empty.
The residual alcohol smell was so strong that it made her head dizzy.
The dense fog in her eyes blinked away, letting it evaporate, and then she turned around, holding the jug, complaining in her tone, "So you are hiding here by yourself and drinking secretly! You don't even call me for such good things! Enjoying the same hardships, is it just ignored by you?"
The dissatisfied tone and the widened eyes at this time made Xiao Xu think that the tears in her eyes just now were all an illusion.
Xiao Xu smiled helplessly, "What kind of good thing is drinking? I'll take you to drink something else next time."
"It's not a good thing, you still drink alone?" Chu Qingyan threw the jug in his hand and played.
Seeing her innocent appearance, Xiao Xu bent the corners of his mouth, but felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and suddenly he felt an indescribable tiredness.
Chu Qingyan turned her head and saw that something was wrong on his face, her eyes were sure, she couldn't help putting down the jug, went around behind him, stretched out her hand and pressed a few acupoints on his head, and then helped him with fingering skillfully. Press and hold.
Because of her massage, his spirit improved a lot.
But at this time, he had something in his heart, and he didn't know how to talk to the little guy, so he couldn't help closing his eyes and thinking quietly, his brows wrinkled unconsciously.
Chu Qingyan knew what he was worried about, and when she saw the creases on his brows, she sighed inwardly, and then she spoke lightly.
"Big ice cube, when are we going back to Beijing?"
As soon as these words fell, Xiao Xu suddenly opened his eyes, looked at her, and said in a disgusting tone, "You know?"
Seeing that he was so shaken, Chu Qingyan pursed her lips, then smiled and winked at the pile of official documents on the table, "Well, you didn't put it away, I saw it as soon as I came in."
Xiao Xu followed her line of sight, and saw that the letter she read today had not been folded, but was spread out on the table, no wonder she knew.
He helped his forehead, just now he was thinking about how to talk to her, and now he doesn't need to think about how to say it.
"My father said that my mother misses us very much. Let's go back first and talk about the follow-up." He stopped hiding and explained it directly.
Chu Qingyan slandered in her heart, she should be thinking of big ice cubes, her piercing daughter-in-law can't wait to see her.
"Big ice cube, your life cannot be violated, let's go back." She said in a relaxed tone.
Xiao Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Didn't you always want to go back to Jiangnan?" He thought she would be sad for a while.
"Am I a person who doesn't know the big picture in your eyes?" she asked with a snort.
"Our Ayan has always been aware of the overall situation, but I am afraid that you will be unhappy and you will be wronged." Xiao Xu reached out and touched her cheek, and said with pity.
"If you're embarrassed because of me, then I'm really useless."
She tilted her head toward his palm and smiled.
In fact, I know that you are very uncomfortable, do not want to blame me, want to take me back.
But if you are in a dilemma between Junming and me, then I would rather you not have the option of me, even if you cut off your wings, I want you to have nothing to worry about.
"Ayan—" Xiao Xu's eyes moved.
Thank you for your unwavering understanding and companionship along the way.
