Survival rules for restaurants: cooking and eating melons at the same time

Chapter 436: Confession? A profound question

The entire Kyoto Prefecture celebrated a happy New Year. On the night of New Year’s Eve, snow began to fall as soon as the restaurants closed.

It was the kind of soft, continuous snowflakes that fell on the ground and on the big locust tree at the door.

When standing at the door and looking back, there were still stars shining inside the restaurant. Qi Ning'an pulled together the white fur coat that his father had given him a few days ago, which was wrapped around his neck with fur.

Jin Xi was holding a lantern behind him and asked softly, "Miss, it's snowing, why don't you go home?"

Qi Ning'an nodded, then looked at the last carriage disappearing at the end of the alley, and said in a very light voice, "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest."

Jin Xi followed Qi Ning'an back with a lantern in his hand, and couldn't help thinking that auspicious snow meant a good harvest.

The new embroidered shoes made a creaking sound on the road, not too far away. Qi Ning'an suddenly felt a little confused. To be honest, this was the best life she could have imagined. She had her own yard, her favorite things, and she was not afraid of being cold or hungry.

It’s much better than when I first came here.

At first, Qi Ning'an thought about how to survive every day. Later, he thought about when things would get better.

Until leaving the palace, all Qi Ning'an wanted was a simple courtyard and a life with food and drink.

After all, when Qi Ning'an started, he just felt that he had got a very bad script, and it was not easy to have enough food and clothing.

Unexpectedly, now he has a father and brothers who love him so much, and endless good days to come. In the following days, Qi Ning'an suddenly fell into deep confusion.

Jin Xi followed Qi Ning'an obediently, step by step, and only spoke softly when they reached the lake, "Miss, are you unhappy?"

Qi Ning'an shook his head and suddenly said seriously, "Jin Xi, it's the New Year. What do you want to do this year?"

Jin Xi was stunned for a moment. What to do? Isn't it just serving the good lady? What else can he do?

"Of course I will stay with the young lady and wait for the next New Year."

Jinxi's voice was crisp and full of sincerity.

Qi Ning'an smiled and suddenly felt that his previous sadness was meaningless. Why think so much? When you are alive, being happy is the most important thing.

The two walked back along the path, and from a distance, they could hear faint laughter. Everyone was playing in the snow at the door, laughing and joking, and the bonfire nearby cast shadowy figures.

Qi Ning'an suddenly thought of the murals he saw in the museum in his previous life. They were probably like this, with people gathering around a campfire in the distance.

I used to think that the ancients exaggerated their lives, but now I don’t have that idea at all.

Because she also became a person in the ancient murals.

Qi Ning'an said to Jin Xi, "They are having a snowball fight. Let's attack them from behind."

Jin Xi smiled and crouched down to get in from behind the reeds.

It had snowed a lot these past few days, and there was still a lot of snow on the ground. Qi Ning'an made a snowball with his hands and hit Qi Tao with it.

Qi Tao was startled. She clearly remembered that there was no one behind her, but when she turned around and saw it was the young lady, she couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, little girl, you actually sneak attacked me, watch me."

So Qi Tao also squatted down, and also threw out a big snowball and chased after Qi Ningan.

On the Autumnal Equinox, the Beginning of Summer and the Beginning of Spring, people started chasing each other with laughter and noise. For a moment, no one could tell who was the enemy and who was the friend, and they just beat up whoever they saw.

Just as everyone was laughing and making noises, a not-so-bright firework suddenly bloomed in the sky.

Qi Ning'an had seen more gorgeous fireworks in modern times, so the fireworks at this moment were not so stunning. But in this situation, he felt that the fireworks were incredibly beautiful.

Even though they are not very powerful, the color is not dark, and they even look like sparks.

But everyone stopped. They looked at the fireworks not far away, as if they all wanted to make a wish, but they just smiled foolishly at the people around them.

Gu Qingyun appeared beside Qi Ningan at some point. He looked at Qi Ningan sideways, and his eyes became colorful under the illumination of the fireworks. It was unknown what kind of emotions were flowing in them.

It was also the first time after knowing Gu Qingyun for such a long time that Qi Ningan saw in his eyes a subtle, lingering emotion, like the snow on New Year's Eve.

Qi Ning'an awkwardly shifted his gaze, unwilling to look back.

Gu Qingyun didn't chase her, but just smiled gently behind him.

Qi Ning'an, the young lady who has always been dignified and self-possessed, the young lady who has always been free and easy.

At this moment, she was running in the snow like a child, and even her footprints were faintly visible.

It was not until the snowflakes grew bigger and bigger and Gu Qingyun could no longer see her footprints that she took a few steps forward.

When Qi Ning'an looked back at him, his eyelashes were covered with fine and dense snow, making him look more like a snow elf.

"Anqiao, you are so beautiful."

Gu Qingyun looked at the person in front of him and couldn't help but speak.

Qi Ning'an was stunned for a moment, then stagnated for a moment, and then laughed, "What are you kidding?"

Gu Qingyun looked at Qi Ning'an and said seriously, "I said, you are very beautiful."

Qi Ning'an could only pretend not to understand and took a few steps back.

Who knew that Gu Qingyun might have drunk some fine peach blossom wine tonight, and he kept pressing forward but was extremely timid.

"I just said you're pretty, don't be scared."

Qi Ning'an had nowhere to retreat, while the others were still playing in the snow in the yard, seemingly not caring where the snowflakes fell.

It’s strange to say, but if we normally spend so much time preparing for a banquet, everyone would be too tired to move.

But today is different. Everyone is playing in the snow. I don’t know if it’s because tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year and the restaurants are closed, or because the New Year atmosphere is infecting everyone.

Qi Ning'an took a few deep breaths and said seriously, "Gu Qingyun, I'm not really stupid. I can feel all your feelings for me. But I think, aren't we being a little too hasty?"

Gu Qingyun's originally tired eyes gradually grew bigger, and even turned into round cat eyes, "Careless?"

The man is not married and the woman is not married, so how can it be careless?

Besides, they were not too young, and now they were a perfect match. Qi Ning'an was about to turn nineteen, which was considered an old leftover woman in ancient times. Gu Qingyun was already twenty-five, and if he got married early, he would have almost become a grandfather.

But living in Qi Ningan's body is a soul from the modern era. She always feels that she is still young and that young people should not spend their time and energy on love affairs.

Besides, she hasn't been attracted to anyone for a long time.

Even if it was just a momentary feeling, Qi Ning'an would attribute all these feelings to illusions.

Sometimes, she even thought Gu Qingyun was childish.
