Chapter 414 Fire
"Okay?... Come and try it. I've been thinking about this red bean roll all day."
Qi Ning'an thought that he was not the kind of person who loved sweets, but he always felt that sweets were delicious unconsciously, so he would keep looking for some sweets to eat.
Especially in winter or when you are in a bad mood, sweets can really relieve your sorrow.
Gu Qingyun sat obediently on the side, holding a rose roll in his mouth and chewing it expressionlessly. His cheeks were bulging, which made him look quite cute.
Qi Ningan ate with gusto and felt that all the hard work during this period was worth it.
The glutinous rice roll was steamed to perfection, with a crystal clear exterior and an extremely soft and glutinous interior. When you take a bite, the sweet taste instantly spreads in your mouth.
Qi Ning'an suddenly thought of her previous life. When she was a child, she read a lot of children's literature, and more than half of these books were written by foreign writers.
These books constantly describe turkey, Christmas, and the warm feeling that Thanksgiving brings, so she feels warm and happy every time she eats turkey or every Christmas.
The reason is simple: the cold days described in those books are particularly warm because of the presence of light.
Just like every time you hear the sound of firecrackers or see a lot of miscellaneous items placed on a plate, or see more candied haws on the street, you feel that the Spring Festival has arrived and spring is coming soon.
This feeling of happiness is the warmth and comfort you feel just by reading the text or seeing the pictures.
At this moment, she was sitting on the recliner she had modified, eating red bean rolls, and feeling the warmth of winter.
At the same time, the stove in the yard was burning vigorously, and the blazing flames illuminated the entire yard, warm and bright.
Gu Qingyun was sitting opposite her. The firelight made his face warm and he looked extremely happy. He was not as talkative as before and sat there very obediently, as if he had suddenly turned into a child.
The orange cat in my arms kept wagging its tail, and it looked so cute that I couldn’t bear to disturb it.
The two people and the cat sat in the backyard eating red bean rolls in silence, like a painting.
……
When the Lower Yuan Festival arrived, Kyoto Prefecture prepared to hold a large banquet, and it was said that the princess would be present. For a while, Kyoto Prefecture, which had been somewhat depressed, became active again.
Gu Qingpei also cleared his father-in-law of suspicion as he wished, and could marry Yan Yu legitimately and openly.
In the past few days, he has been in high spirits every day, completely different from his previous lifeless look.
Every day I am busy preparing the bride price, running around the house, picking this and that.
The old marquis couldn't help shaking his head when he saw him like this. He had thought his child was extremely well-behaved, but he didn't expect that his rebellious period had just come a little late.
In comparison, Gu Qingyun was left in a state of laissez-faire.
The whole family was keeping the wedding banquet a secret from Gu Qingpei, so few people cared about Gu Qingyun. Anyway, he was in a restaurant in Kyoto and couldn't starve to death even if he wanted to.
Zhao Hengzhi finally agreed to go home this year. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he told Qi Ning'an that he had to go home at the end of the year and asked Qi Ning'an to find a new pastry chef as soon as possible.
Qi Ning'an also asked him what he wanted to do after returning home?
Zhao Hengzhi smiled and said that his grandparents had finally agreed that he could continue making his favorite cakes, and that he would then make his cake shop as big and good as the restaurant in Kyoto.
Now Zhao Hengzhi stood on one side, looking at Qi Ningan and Gu Qingyun curiously and shook his head. These two people were also very strange.
Recently, Zhao Hengzhi often stood on one side and looked at everyone in the restaurant. Perhaps he was somewhat reluctant to leave, and was reluctant to part with this period of time that seemed to have been stolen.
Qi Ning'an quickly noticed Zhao Hengzhi and smiled gently. The firelight reflected on her face, making him look gentle and beautiful.
"What are you standing there for? Come over here and eat the red bean rolls I just made."
Zhao Hengzhi nodded, then walked to Qi Ningan’s right and sat down.
There were clearly only three people, but there were seven or eight chairs, and there seemed to be a space of one or two people around each person.
"I just wanted to ask you, what kind of cakes are you going to prepare for this Xiayuan Festival?"
Zhao Hengzhi naturally picked up a red bean roll and put it in his mouth. A look of surprise immediately flashed in his eyes. It was indeed delicious, soft and sticky, very suitable for winter.
"Just like usual, but this time I have to change the filling. I'll tell you tomorrow afternoon."
Qi Ning'an squinted his eyes comfortably, enjoying the red bean rolls he made, which looked exactly like the kitten in Gu Qingyun's arms.
Qi Ningliang was startled when he walked into the backyard. To be honest, he was often startled by his sister's behavior.
My sister doesn't seem to be so wary of other men. If many ladies were to sit in the backyard with other men like this, they would probably be scared and feel that they are not clean.
But my sister is different. She always looks indifferent.
When Qi Ningliang saw that there was still a gap between them, he felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt that these people were weird and unreasonable.
"What are you talking about?"
Qi Ning'an was almost asleep. The fire was so comfortable that she wished she would ignore me all night.
None of the three spoke, they just stared at the fire quietly. Qi Ningan yawned and said, "Brother, come and eat the red bean rolls. I just made them."
Maybe because she was too sleepy, her voice was soft and cute.
Qi Ningliang nodded, but didn't react. He sat between Zhao Hengzhi and Qi Ningan and stretched lazily.
But Gu Qingyun couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. Qi Ningan usually had all kinds of attitudes and reactions.
When we first met, he always had a fake smile on his face and looked like he was just working.
Later, after they became more familiar with each other, Gu Qingyun felt that Qi Ningan always disliked him to some extent.
Then he went to Ubang, and when he came back they were both extremely embarrassed again.
Everything is peaceful now. Although they occasionally quarrel with each other, most of the time they just sit together quietly without saying a word.
If you ask Gu Qingyun which state he likes, he probably can't tell you. It's like asking someone whether he likes himself as a teenager or after he has achieved success.
Qi Ningliang shrank his neck. The temperature was indeed dropping very quickly. He didn't wear enough when he went out this morning. Now, he had to say that the fire was indeed quite comfortable.
Then the three-member weird group turned into a four-member weird group.
I don’t know how long I sat in front of the fire, I just knew that more and more people came behind me, gradually breaking the quiet atmosphere.
Everyone sat in front of the fire with their necks hunched, which was a unique experience.
