Gu Fuqiao quickly fell asleep, and early the next morning, when she woke up, she was surprised to find that Yan Zhen Guo was already dressed neatly and looked ready to go out.
"Old Yan, is it really late now?" Gu Fuqiao beca sowhat anxious, beauty can really delay a person! If she hadn’t spent so much ti with Yan Zhen Guo during the Qixi Festival yesterday evening, she wouldn’t have even postponed the ti to cook.
Yan Zhen Guo briefly ntioned the ti to Gu Fuqiao, but he always gave the ti down to the second. Regardless of the latter seconds, Gu Fuqiao thought it was late upon hearing the initial ti. She swiftly climbed out of bed and said to Yan Zhen Guo, "Old Yan, you should have woken up earlier. Now it’s so late, what should we do? There’s definitely no ti for cooking!"
Just as Gu Fuqiao was feeling anxious, she suddenly slled the scent of buns from outside. She quickly put on her shoes and went out to the doorway, just in ti to see Yan Zhen Guo taking a pair of chopsticks and placing them on a lunch box.
And there was only one pair of chopsticks...
Seeing this, Gu Fuqiao understood everything. Today, Old Yan is really a good husband! He went to buy breakfast early in the morning and still has to go to work.
How nice!
"Old Yan, why are you treating so well today?" Gu Fuqiao flashed a smile at Yan Zhen Guo.
Yan Zhen Guo glanced at her and said, "Aren’t I under your care? Naturally, I must do my best." His words amused Gu Fuqiao but she quickly straightened her expression and said, "Yes, you are absolutely right. You know you are under my care, and now, I want to tell you, hurry up and go to work, I know how to eat."
Yan Zhen Guo did not plan to linger any longer, nodded, and left. Once Yan Zhen Guo was gone, Gu Fuqiao sat down to eat breakfast. She found that the breakfast Yan Zhen Guo bought was quite complete and suited her taste well, and the bouquet of roses Yan Zhen Guo brought back last night was also placed nearby, the scent was incredibly soothing.
Gu Fuqiao felt exceptionally happy since the morning! She finally understood why love has been praised by so many throughout history because love really is a wonderful thing!
Reflecting on the various romantic monts from last night, Gu Fuqiao couldn’t help but laugh, then she finished eating and cleaned up the table.
Then she walked out the door and knocked on Chen Bajin’s front door.
"Ah Jiao, why are you up so early?" Chen Bajin had just gotten up as well. Gu Fuqiao knew that Chen Bajin usually woke up early. Seeing her like this, it didn’t take much guessing to know that she probably did too much the night before and hence woke up late.
Gu Fuqiao chuckled and said, "Today I’m actually up late, why are you also up late, what did you do last night? Be honest with ."
Upon hearing this, Chen Bajin laughed and pointed at Gu Fuqiao, saying, "Don’t tell you did nothing with Yan Camp Commander last night, I definitely won’t believe that!"
"Alright, alright." Gu Fuqiao chuckled and asked, "So, was yesterday’s holiday enjoyable?"
Gu Fuqiao expected to hear a satisfactory answer from Chen Bajin, but to her surprise, Chen Bajin sighed and spilled her grievances to Gu Fuqiao.
She explained, "Ah Jiao, can you believe what happened last night?"
Last night, as soon as Chen Jian Country returned, Chen Bajin continuously hinted at him, thinking he knew it was the Qixi Festival. However, Chen Jian Country didn’t know at all and even bought a radio back, insisting that Chen Bajin listen to it with him. Chen Jian Country seed happy, but Chen Bajin was not happy at all. Clearly, it was the Qixi Festival, but the couple could only spend it with a radio—what kind of logic is that?
So Chen Bajin directly got angry and solemnly told Chen Jian Country to figure out where he went wrong, and even told him that he should eat at the canteen by himself the next morning!
As for Chen Bajin’s anger, Chen Jian Country was clueless for a long while.
After returning to the bedroom, still angrily, Chen Bajin realized that Chen Jian Country didn’t follow her, which made her even angrier. Eventually, Chen Jian Country finally ca in, and after a bit of tenderness with Chen Bajin, revealed that he just realized that today was the Qixi Festival.
It turned out that Chen Jian Country didn’t know it was the Qixi Festival. Initially, when Chen Bajin got upset, he thought Chen Bajin was having a tantrum due to her mood and didn’t even think of checking the calendar. After all, being the tough guy he is!
He eventually realized it was the Qixi Festival, all thanks to hearing it on the radio, where the host wished everyone a happy Qixi Festival.
Although Chen Jian Country hadn’t studied much, he still knew the story behind the Qixi Festival, the one about the rogue peeking at the fairies bathing and the love story with the weaving maid.
So afterward, Chen Jian Country didn’t care about his newly bought radio anymore, after all, compared to the radio, his wife was more important.
After saying this, Chen Bajin felt a bitter sorrow, then looked at Gu Fuqiao. Although she knew, most soldiers aren’t very attentive, being rough guys, for so reason, she always felt that maybe Yan Camp Commander was a bit different.
"Ah Jiao, your Yan Camp Commander shouldn’t be like my Brother Jian Country...so clueless and oblivious." Chen Bajin said to Gu Fuqiao.
Gu Fuqiao thought about it too. If she had been full of expectations for the Qixi Festival, yet Yan Zhen Guo was so indifferent, she might really get angry enough to give Yan Zhen Guo a beating.
But what Gu Fuqiao didn’t know was that actually Yan Zhen Guo was completely unaware that yesterday was the Qixi Festival. It was all thanks to Chen Yong’s reminder; otherwise, the roses and the awareness of the festival wouldn’t have been possible!
"Hmm, co with to my place, I’ll show you sothing!" Gu Fuqiao said to Chen Bajin.
Chen Bajin saw Gu Fuqiao looking so happy and guessed that likely Yan Camp Commander had given Gu Fuqiao so surprise yesterday, like buying her so milk candies, or gifting so nice things.
So Chen Bajin followed Gu Fuqiao to her house, upon arriving she privately searched but didn’t see anything novel, so she asked Gu Fuqiao, what exactly did Yan Zhen Guo give her?
Gu Fuqiao chuckled, knowing that in this era, sending flowers probably wasn’t that widespread yet.
So she pointed to the small vase placed on the dining table and said, "It’s that, look."
"It’s a bouquet of roses!" Chen Bajin exclaid upon seeing the roses.
In later generations, sending flowers on Valentine’s Day was truly a brilliant marketing strategy because few won could resist these delightful blossoms.
"Yes." Gu Fuqiao nodded. Honestly, she had never expected that Yan Zhen Guo, being so coarse, would know to send her flowers and recognize yesterday as the Qixi Festival.
Yesterday... she herself hadn’t realized it was the Qixi Festival.
Looking at the vase of roses, Chen Bajin beca increasingly envious, saying, "Ah Jiao, you are truly blessed. Captain Yan is indeed a good man, no wonder so many girls adore him. If only my Brother Jian Country were half as good, I too wish soone would send roses..."
