Surrender At a Glance - Chapter 41
After getting up, Yi Yan went downstairs and walked around and found that there were no other people in the house except the servant, so she went back to the room with peace of mind, was busy replying to some friends’ private messages, and sent a video to explain by the way.
Jiang Xiche and Jin Sui didn’t get home until about eleven o’clock. Jiang Xiche went directly to the room and saw Yi Yan lying on the bed playing with a mobile phone, bare feet in the air.
He called her and walked towards the closet.
“Jiang Xiche, you are back.” Yi Yan sat up from the bed and said to him happily, “We went on a hot search, do you know?”
“I know.” Jiang Xiche opened the closet, took a pair of her socks from it, walked over to the bed and sat down, pulled her ankles, “put on a pair of socks.”
“If you have cotton shoes, what socks are you wearing?” Yi Yan muttered, but didn’t refuse him to wear socks for herself, but teased him triumphantly, “Do you know that my male fan knows that I am so sad after getting married? forget about it?”
Jiang Xiche was silent. He raised his eyes to look at her after putting on her socks, and said with a smile: “Then if they know your enthusiasm last night, do they have to jump off the building?”
“Asshole.” Yi Yan’s white face flushed suddenly, and he glared at him in shame, then punched his waist with a sigh and fist. Say, I still suffer from backaches.”
Hearing the words, Jiang Xiche sat beside her, rubbed her back with his fingers, and asked in confusion, “How did I seduce you?”
Didn’t she seduce him first?
Yi Yan stared at him sideways and contemptuously, and said confidently: “Don’t you know that you are handsome? You kissed and touched me in the car last night, which woman can stand it?”
This is the first time Jiang Xiche has heard someone praise him for being handsome in such a tone, and the corners of his mouth are drawn without a trace, “Okay, my fault.”
Yi Yan: “What did you buy outside with your mother?”
“I bought some New Year goods and daily necessities. I bought you a firework stick that your girls like.”
“Really?!” Yi Yan grinned in surprise. The next moment he thought of something, his smile receded back and sighed, “I used to play with my brother every year, but this is the first time I didn’t spend the New Year with him. .”
“Always separate.” Jiang Xiche paused, “I will play with you in the future.”
Yi Yan had a fantasy and couldn’t help laughing for an instant, “Thinking about how you play with fireworks is funny.”
Jiang Xiche didn’t tell her about this topic, he took his hand from her waist and got up first, “Go down, I bought strawberries and oranges for you.”
So Yi Yan followed Jiang Xiche downstairs, and the nanny had washed her strawberries and opened two oranges and put them in the living room.
While eating strawberries, Yi Yan looked around cautiously. Without seeing Jin Sui, she asked Jiang Xiche, “Where is your mother?”
“She’s not just my mother.” Jiang Xiche corrected her gently, and sat aside to work and peeled the orange peel for her, peeled it clean and brought it to her mouth.
“Oh…” Yi Yan bit a piece of orange meat he gave, and chewed it. “What about our mother?”
“Should make dessert in the kitchen.”
Yi Yan pondered for a moment, and quickly swallowed the orange in his mouth, and asked him: “Should we go in for a favor? Although I can’t make desserts, it’s okay to help wash something.”
“it is good.”
In the kitchen, Jin Sui was beating eggs in a bowl, Yu Guang saw the couple come in, took time to glance at them, “Why are you two in here?”
“Mom.” Yi Yan smiled cautiously and approached her, “Let’s come in and see if you need our help.”
“Are you just awake?” Jin Sui shook the egg in his hand, looked straight at Yi Yan’s face, and asked unintentionally.
“I’ve been awake for half an hour.” Yi Yan responded in a low voice, scratching his ears. She suddenly felt embarrassed, and only got up so late on the first day.
Jin Sui looked back when he heard the words, dropped the eggshell, and said in an unpredictable tone: “Then you can sleep well. You didn’t rest until late last night?”
“Fortunately, it’s not very late…” Yi Yan was embarrassed to say that she could sleep like this because she was too tired last night.
“Okay.” Jiang Xiche washed his hands and came over, looking at Jin Sui unfriendly, “Do you need us to do something for you.”
“Since I am so active–” Jin Sui wiped his hands with a bit of arrogance, spooned some sugar into the egg whites, and then put three chopsticks in. “Then Yiyan, help me beat the egg whites, just found out The whisk at home is broken.”
“Uh.” Yi Yan was embarrassed, she didn’t know this.
But before she had time to speak, Jin Sui turned to the other side and called to Jiang Xiche: “Son, come over and help mom cut some sweet potatoes.”
Jiang Xiche knew that Yi Yan would definitely not beat eggs. He didn’t listen to Jin Sui’s words, but picked up the porcelain bowl with egg whites and handed it to Yi Yan, “I teach you.”
“Okay.” Yi Yan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and took the porcelain bowl and held the three chopsticks.
Jiang Xiche stood behind her, holding the porcelain bowl with one hand, tilting the bowl, holding her hand with the other, teaching her to beat the egg whites in slow motion, with a very patient voice.
“It’s good to stir in the same direction, and move fast when stirring…”
“Can’t beat egg whites?” Jin Sui turned around and interrupted Jiang Xiche, looking surprised, “Will you cut sweet potatoes? If you can, come and peel sweet potatoes. Let Ache beat the egg whites.”
Yi Yan nodded embarrassedly, and whispered to Jiang Xiche: “Jiang Xiche, then I’ll go peel the sweet potatoes.”
“You beat the egg whites so as not to hurt your hands.” Jiang Xiche let go of her, and touched the back of her head with his palm, “As fast as possible, I’ll come and help you later.”
Yi Yan nodded and started to exert her strength just like he did just now, but fortunately, the egg white did not splash out and did not embarrass her.
At the beginning, Yi Yan was full of accomplishment, but within five minutes, her arms were so tired that she couldn’t help but stop to rest.
Jin Sui, who was cutting the yam, noticed it and immediately shouted: “Oh, you’d better not stop the process of beating the egg whites, otherwise it might not be able to beat them.”
“Sorry, I don’t know!” Yi Yan got up and continued to fight after hearing this. In anxiousness, she couldn’t control her intensity and direction. She accidentally let a little bit of egg white fly onto her face.
She acted, took a quick peek at Jin Sui, and found that she was looking at herself with a “black man looking at her phone” expression, causing her a guilty conscience, pretending that nothing happened, and continuing to beat her eggs.
Seeing that Yi Yan was tired, Jiang Xiche speeded up and peeled off the sweet potatoes in his hands, walked over and took her bowl and chopsticks, and wiped the egg whites from her cheeks with his fingers.
“Let’s rest outside.”
Yi Yan wanted to hand it over to him, but was afraid that this would cause Jin Sui’s dissatisfaction, so he hid his eyes and looked at her.
Jin Sui feels speechless at Yi Yan’s intimidation, is she so scary? Didn’t you beat her and scold her?
She waved her hand helplessly, “Okay, let’s go out. It takes more than half an hour to beat the egg whites manually. You can’t beat that long.”
“Thank you mom.” Yi Yan dared to rub his arm out, feeling deeply that his arm strength was poor.
This day was very normal. After lunch, everyone went to do their own things. Yi Yan followed Jiang Xiche to the study. She recently planned to design a work to participate in a costume competition, so she and Jiang Xiche did their own things. interference.
But Yi Yan found that she had no inspiration right now, and she was dissatisfied with painting for most of the day. In the end, she was bored, lost her paintbrush and lay down on the table with a frown.
“What’s the matter?” Jiang Xiche on the opposite side cast a questioning glance at her.
Yi Yan drooped his eyelids and said weakly, “I can’t draw it.”
“Then don’t paint first, and wait until you know the effect you want.” Jiang Xiche said slowly, turning his eyes to look at the time on the computer, “It’s still early, you can take a nap when you are tired.”
“I do not want to sleep.”
“Then what do you want to do?”
What do you want? Yi Yan rolled his eyes and thought, his gaze finally fixed on the window a few meters away behind him.
Seeing the ice and snow outside, she suddenly came over and asked Jiang Xiche with clear eyes, “Shall we go and build a snowman outside?”
“…It’s cold outside and it’s easy to catch a cold.”
“It’s fine to dress thickly.” Yi Yan is very interested in this, she can’t wait to get up and close her computer, “If you don’t want to go, then I can go by myself. It’s too boring at home.”
Even if Jiang Xiche didn’t want to do such a naive thing, he didn’t worry about Yi Yan going out alone, so he just got up and said, “I’ll go with you.”
“That’s great!” Yi Yan beamed with joy, holding his arms with both hands and walking out.
The two quickly put on thick clothes, gloves and hats and went out, to build a snowman on a flat ground not far from the villa, took a carrot from home, and picked up a few rocks on the road.
Jiang Xiche hasn’t built a snowman since he was in middle school. Now he and Yi Yan are squatting on the snow to play in the snow, and he feels “rejuvenated”.
The two piled up the same snowman. Yi Yan hid half of his face in the scarf, patted the snowball with both hands, and hummed a little song in his mouth, looking very happy.
Jiang Xiche looked at her sideways, and saw her curved corners of eyes. She was very beautiful, and the air seemed to be flowing with sweet fragrance, which moved people.
He was not consciously stunned. In these short months of getting along, she always seemed to look like this, as well as what he remembered.
He stared at her for a long time, his deep eyes were filled with ink-like silence, and he slowly asked softly, “Yi Yan, except for the last grandma’s birthday party, have you ever been sad when you were with me last time.”
“Huh?” Yi Yan was confused by the sudden question, stopped moving and stared at him in surprise, “What do you mean?”
“After marrying me, will you feel sad because you are my wife, or that this identity makes you unhappy, unhappy?”
“No.” Yi Yan answered without thinking, her big eyes are sincere and puzzled. She pulled down her scarf, and a white mist suddenly loomed in front of her face, “Why are you asking me this question suddenly?”
“Nothing, just curious.” Jiang Xiche withdrew his gaze indifferently, and continued to make a snowman.
In fact, he was just suddenly afraid. I was afraid that her happiness was disguised, or that he only saw her happy side, afraid that she would be secretly sad in a place he couldn’t see.
Because she wasn’t willing to marry him, she was just arrogant, in order to **** off her half-sister.
Yi Yan thought it was strange that Jiang Xiche asked this question suddenly. She took a moment alone, thinking that she wanted to understand, sighed, moved two steps towards him, and gently touched his head with the back of her hand. .
“Jiang Xiche, don’t be so burdened. Your husband has done a good job. Really, I am very satisfied. Although your mother…No, my mother has not fully accepted me, but this is not your fault. And I’m not sad because of this, I’m just a little depressed, don’t think too much.”
“…”
Jiang Xiche couldn’t say anything, so he had to make a perfunctory “um”.
“Good boy.” Yi Yan patted his head again with satisfaction, then retracted his hand and tilted his head to look at him, “What about you? Will you feel unhappy and unhappy after marrying me?”
After asking, she was unreasonable.
“will not.”
Jiang Xiche’s answer without hesitation caused Yi Yan to breathe a sigh of relief, but he was afraid that he could not bear to hurt her and lied, so he confirmed to him again.
“Really? You don’t have to be afraid of me being sad or angry. You just tell the truth. I can accept everything, and I promise not to be sad or angry.”
Jiang Xiche turned his face to look at her, and said solemnly, “I am beautiful and have a good figure. What is unhappy or unhappy about me?”
“…” Yi Yan’s mouth twitched, no longer looking at him, and continued to make a snowman, shaking his head and sighing, “Superficial man~”
After doing it for a while, she was idle and bored, and another question that she was more curious came out of her mind, and naturally asked, “Jiang Xiche, if I am unhappy to marry you, what will happen to you? ”
After Jiang Xiche was silent for a long time, slowly stood up, turned around and walked to a dead tree behind, leaving a cold word, “Divorce, maybe.”
For some reason, Yi Yan’s heart trembled fiercely when he heard him say the word divorce.
She turned her head in astonishment, staring at his arrogant back, her clear eyes gradually losing focus.
After a while, she abruptly got up and rushed towards him, jumping on his back, her legs wrapped around his waist, and her hands hooked around his neck.
“Jiang Xiche, I am very happy to marry you.” She approached his ear, her voice suddenly turned into a weak whisper, “We won’t get divorced.”
Jiang Xiche’s figure stopped, and his thoughtful heart gradually returned to peace and tranquility, “Okay.”
Yi Yan lay on his back for a while before coming down. Her heart was in a mess, and she turned back unwillingly.
The two snowmen behind hardly spoke, each with their own thoughts.
It took them more than half an hour to pile up a little snowman. After installing the carrots and the stone branches they picked up, Jiang Xiche also put up his scarf and gloves.
This is the first snowman he and Yi Yan have built together, and he wants to make it more attractive.
Yi Yan began to take pictures of the snowman back and forth, and after the shooting, he asked Jiang Xiche to help her take a photo with the snowman, and then took a few selfies with Jiang Xiche.
After taking the photo, Jiang Xiche let him go back. Yi Yan was holding hands and walking on the way home, lowering his head and counting the footprints he had stepped on the snow.
When he was about to walk on the road, Yi Yan looked back at the neat and beautiful string of long footprints behind him, and suddenly thought of something.
“Jiang Xiche, wait a minute.” She took out the hand held by Jiang Xiche, took off the glove on her right hand, and then squatted on the ground, writing on a clean and even snow with her fingers.
Jiang Xiche stood silently beside her, watched her write down her own name, and drew a Xinxin, and then wrote his name beside Xinxin.
His pupils widened in the snow.
What does this… mean?
Yiyan love Jiang Xiche?
“Jiang Xiche, this is the first time I have written your name.” After Yi Yan finished writing, she clapped her hands and stood up, with her bright face facing him, raising her eyebrows and smiling, “Well?”
Jiang Xiche forced the undercurrent in his heart and asked calmly, “What do you mean by this?”
“Is there a problem?” Yi Yan blinked, smiled and took out the phone from his pocket, and said, “I want to show my affection in Moments.”
Ok.
Jiang Xi Che was silent.
After taking the picture, Yi Yan took the hand back to Jiang Xiche, and asked him while looking at the phone: “I will send the picture I just took to your WeChat, do you want?”
“it is good.”
After returning home, Yi Yan went back to the room and was busy editing pictures.
More than ten minutes had passed when she was repaired, and she finally entered WeChat to prepare to post to Moments, but unexpectedly saw Jiang Xiche’s once-in-a-century dynamic.
He didn’t say anything, so he posted three pictures.
One is the snowman she and him made, another is her writing, and the other is the footprints they have stepped on all the way.
