Bored, being held firmly by him, she thought that he was really warm and easy to hold. She reached out and touched his collar again. It was indeed very thick. To keep warm, she recklessly slipped her little hand in front of his collar.

She had no other intention, she just wanted to freeze him.

Gu Yiqin's narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked down at her bold appearance in his arms.

It was because it was outside and it was broad daylight that she dared to be so pretentious.

He caught her wrist in the end, and then put it into his coat pocket. He gave her a sideways glance, a little dangerous.

"Don't touch it. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it when we get back to Haiyuan."

"..."

Yan Xixi looked at him in astonishment.

Look at his clear and indifferent face, but he said such words.

"You...you...you are acting like a hooligan." She accused in a trembling voice.

"Me? You were the one who acted like a hooligan first, Xiao Xi'er." He curled his lips and smiled, showing a bit of his bad nature for no reason.

"..."

Very good, as if I had a glimpse of how terrible it would be if he didn't eat meat for seven or eight days when he returned to the manor on the seventh day of the seventh day. Her back and legs were starting to feel weak.

Later, while Yu Nian was still in the kitchen, Yan Xixi asked him curiously.

"It's Chinese New Year, won't Uncle Nian's children go home to see him during the Chinese New Year?"

Gu Yiqin suddenly fell silent, his eyes were dark, and the atmosphere became heavy for no reason. It took him a while before he answered her.

"He's all alone now."

Yan Xi's heart suddenly sank when she heard him continue to speak lightly.

"Both his father and son died young. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man to his wife. His wife couldn't bear it and divorced him."

"More than ten years ago, he rescued me. He used himself as a hostage in exchange for me. He suffered several stab wounds during a bare-handed fight, and his spine was damaged, so he had to retire early."

Listening to Gu Yiqin's narration, Yan Yuxi learned the full story of the accident.

The group of robbers were desperadoes hired by the Gu family's sworn enemy to torture and kill the Gu family's most beloved heir. They sent a photo to the Gu family every day. At that time, the Gu family was shrouded in a heavy haze. When the police came to the door, the group of people picked him up as a hostage when he was near death and unconscious. Yu Nian proposed to exchange him for him. The robbers agreed to his request in order to take the hostage and escape.

"Actually, he had a bright future and was already a first-class police sergeant." Gu Yiqin said.

Yan Xi didn't expect that Uncle Nian, who loves to laugh, would be burdened with such a story.

He pursed his lips and looked towards the kitchen. Yu Nian's back was swaying in the kitchen. He was dressed in a military green cotton-padded coat, which made his figure very tall and straight, as if he had traveled back to more than ten years ago, when he was a person admired by the world. Nowadays, it is a small town in Anyu, living in people's meager memories.

"Then his father and son..." Yan Yuxi said softly.

"Undercover, destroying drug lords, died in the line of duty." Gu Yiqin replied in a deep voice.

Just ten simple words, but Yan Yuxi felt a lump in her throat and almost cried.

Gu Yiqin sighed softly and wiped away her tears with his fingertips. He hugged her tightly and whispered.

"It is their glory to die in noble love."

Yan Yuxi wiped her tears with his thick coat, and when she raised her head, she had calmed down, but her almond-shaped eyes were still trembling with tears.

"Yeah." She whispered and tugged on his sleeve. "Uncle Nian has a bad spine, so he shouldn't work too hard. Don't you know how to cook? Come in and help."

Gu Yiqin smiled slightly, put her on the bamboo chair, got up and walked towards the kitchen.

Yan Ruixi looked in the direction of the kitchen, and through the square glass window, she saw Yu Nian looking at Gu Yiqin in shock and giving a thumbs up. The latter is wearing an apron and chopping vegetables skillfully.

Then Yu Nian laughed and pointed in the direction of Yan Xi outside the kitchen. He seemed to be asking him something.

"Learned it for my wife?"

Gu Yiqin nodded to him.

Yan Xi's crystal clear apricot eyes were filled with a smile. Because she understood what Yu Nian asked.
-

Dinner is ready.

There were several items on the table made by Gu Yiqin to suit her taste.

"Girl, I haven't seen you for a year, but he actually knows how to cook?" Yu Nian was still shocked at the dinner table, "If I knew about this, my jaw would probably drop."

Suddenly mentioning his father's name, the smile on Gu Yiqin's face faded a little, but he still answered.

"As long as she likes it."

"It's good to love your wife." Yu Nian clicked his tongue and looked at Yan Xi again.

Yan Yuxi blushed and almost buried herself in the bowl, picking up the rice in a muffled voice.

After dinner, they played another game of chess. This time Yan Ruixi showed no mercy and played happily. Of course, Yu Nian lost in the end.

"I will beat you next time!" Yu Nian smiled and said suddenly, "How about you two play a game? Let me see who is more powerful."

Yan Xi's eyes paused and slowly fell on Gu Yiqin, who was watching the chess game without saying a word.

Get off with him? Is it true that her chess piece will not be counted?

Gu Yiqin has moved his position and is sitting firmly opposite the chessboard. There was a slight curve on his lips, so he could look at her.

"You first." He gave her the black mark.

Yan Yuxi glanced at him, took it for a while, twisted it, and started playing chess.

As her expression became more and more serious, his expression remained calm. Occasionally he raised his eyes to look at her, with a smile in his eyes.

"The chess piece emerges from the broken place."

“A must order for every recipe.”

Whenever she was undecided about a chess piece, he would say something, occasionally brushing his fingertips over the chess pieces and tapping the edge of the table, completely nonchalantly.

No, I don't take her seriously.

He seemed to be guiding the chess, and all the layouts seemed to be developing under his control.

It was as if she was in the chess game he had laid out, and every move she made was anticipated by him.

As a result, she narrowly won, winning three-quarters of the pieces.

However, Yan Ruixi got angry for no reason.

I finally understand why Yu Nian was so angry when he realized he was being let go!

When you see that your opponent is giving you a hand in the chess game, the feeling of powerlessness and frustration can be really irritating.

Of course Yu Nian didn't see anything, he just thought the two were matched.

"I didn't expect that, girl, you actually beat Yi Qin! This game is really exciting!" Yu Nian was still thinking about the chess game and looking at the chessboard intently. He didn't see Yan Yuxi staring at Gu Yiqin with a dark face.

"Gu Yiqin, come out with me." She stood up suddenly and called him out the door.

Gu Yiqin paused and followed her out the door.

Outside the door of the flower shop, there are many bonsais, and a few gold-inlaid polygonatum trees are tough and elegant, and the bamboo poles show a golden luster in the dusk.

Yan Yuxi turned around to look at him. Against the backdrop of the light green bamboo leaves, the man looked even more elegant and elegant.

"What's the matter, Xiao Xi'er, aren't you happy that you won?" He walked closer and raised his thin eyebrows.

"Gu Yiqin, stop teasing me." She glanced at him and said, "Think I can't tell? Don't treat me like you did to Uncle Nian."

"No, how could I tease you? I'm teaching you." He grabbed her hand, which was indeed cool, and put it into his pocket out of habit, with a begging movement and an innocent expression.

He was indeed teaching her and introducing her to chess, but the process was not that pleasant.

Yan Xi stared at him for a long while, curled her lips and uttered a sentence.

"Whoever is your opponent is really unlucky."
