Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

In a military tent, Lin Gou Wa and Chen Chang Tong, who had tidied themselves up a little, sat next to each other, looking nervously and anxiously at Cheng Wan and Gu Yan opposite them.

"Your Excellency..."

"You should call me cousin."

Cheng Wan smiled and interrupted Lin Gou Wa's unfinished words.

Lin Gou Wa: “!!!”

Chen Changtong suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Gou Wa, his eyes wider than Lin Gou Wa's.

"My last name is Cheng, Cheng Wan, and my native place is Jiajia Village, Qingyuan County. My grandmother's name is Lin Xiangcao, your great aunt."

Lin Gouwa looked at Cheng Wan blankly without any reaction.

Cheng Wan smiled slightly, letting Lin Gou Wa react slowly, then turned to look at Chen Changtong.

"Are you and my cousin from the same village or did you meet in the army?"

Chen Changtong pinched his trembling thigh hard to calm himself down, and replied: "Gou Wa and I met in the army. I was born exactly one year earlier than Gou Wa, so Gou Wa called me brother."

Cheng Wan nodded, her voice gentle: "Then you two are destined to be together."

"Yes, we are no different from brothers!"

After saying this, Chen Changtong quickly waved his hands and said nervously: "I, I mean that we have a good relationship, I don't... I don't mean to offend you."

"I know." Cheng Wan smiled at Chen Changtong, then glanced at Lin Gou Wa who still didn't react, and said to Chen Changtong:

"I will lead the team to leave here and head north tomorrow. When my cousin calms down, please ask him for me.

Was he going to go with me, or did he have other ideas, like going back to see his family?

As for you..."

Chen Changtong swallowed nervously.

"You are no longer a soldier or a prisoner of war. You can go wherever you want."

"Then, if Gou Wa chooses to go with you, can I, can I follow him too?"

Cheng Wan raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you want, I have no objection."

Cheng Wan has some admiration for Chen Changtong.

This appreciation is not because Chen Changtong takes care of Lin Gou Wa, but because Chen Changtong is a smart man.

"You can think about it carefully and tell me your decision before you leave tomorrow."

After briefly speaking about the key points, Cheng Wan did not stay here for long, and went to Gu Yan's military tent with Gu Yan.

We will separate tomorrow and I don’t know when we will meet next time.

Not only Gu Yan couldn't bear to leave Cheng Wan, Cheng Wan also couldn't bear to leave Gu Yan.

Gu Yan's military tent was simply and coldly furnished.

Cheng Wan looked around, feeling a little sour.

Intellectually, she knew that it was normal for Gu Yan's military tent to be simply furnished, but emotionally she couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Yan.

"Awan."

Cheng Wan took the teacup handed to him by Gu Yan, sat down facing the wide-open door of the military tent, and looked at the soldiers coming and going outside, somewhat dazed.

"Awan, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering when this war will end and when you can go back to your homes."

Gu Yan looked at Cheng Wan's profile, his eyes gentle and affectionate: "Ah Wan, when the war is over, I will definitely pester you every day. By then, will you find me annoying?"

"You are my beloved one, and I am willing to be pestered by you every day."

Cheng Wan turned his head and looked at Gu Yan with a gentle smile.

Gu Yan's fingers on his knees trembled slightly, and his eyes were a little red.

"So, Gu Yan, you must protect yourself. I'm waiting for you to come back and pester me."

Gu Yan used his eyes to trace Cheng Wan's facial features devoutly, curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes were slightly wet: "Well, I know."

Gu Yan blinked twice quickly, stood up and walked towards his military bed, and took out a small velvet bag from a locked wooden box at the head of the bed. "I don't think I'll be with Sui Sui when he turns three, so I carved a family jade pendant for him in advance. Ah Wan, take the jade pendant back and give it to him on his birthday for me."

Cheng Wan took the small bag with both hands and looked up at Gu Yan: "Can I see it?"

"Ah Wan, there is nothing of mine that you cannot see."

Cheng Wan opened the bag and carefully took out a jade pendant.

The jade pendant is round in shape, transparent in texture, and smooth to the touch. It is undoubtedly a piece of fine jade.

Cheng Wan gently stroked the word "Gu Yu" in the middle of the jade pendant with his fingers, and teased in a gentle voice: "Your craftsmanship is really not that good. In the future, our children..."

Cheng Wan's words came to an abrupt end. She was unusually embarrassed, and her cheeks felt slightly hot.

"When we have children, my skills in carving jade pendants will definitely be better than they are now."

Gu Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Cheng Wan's slightly pink cheeks. His heart seemed to be soaked in honey water, so warm and sweet.

Cheng Wan silently put away the jade pendant carefully.

She didn't plan to speak until the temperature on her face cooled down.

Cheng Wan was so rare and adorable. Gu Yan put his fist to his lips, cleared his throat, and a smile filled his eyes.

Feeling the temperature on his face return to normal, Cheng Wan looked at Gu Yan again and said, "If possible, when you see my elder brother again, ask him to write us a letter to let us know he is safe and send it back to the grain transport team on the way back. We really miss him."

Gu Yan nodded: "I've made a note of it. Also, Ah Wan, I didn't tell my eldest brother about your coming to the front line this time, for fear that he would be distracted by worrying about you."

"You did the right thing."

Cheng Wan showed a bright smile, and Gu Yan couldn't help but laugh again.

The two of them had told each other everything they needed to tell each other, and now they were just looking at each other without saying anything, feeling extremely satisfied and sweet.

Unfortunately, in the context of war, this time is destined to be short-lived.

No matter how reluctant Cheng Wan and Gu Yan were, the time had come to separate.

At the gate of the military camp, Cheng Wan smiled at Gu Yan and said in a brisk voice: "I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself. Sui Sui and I will wait for you to come back."

"Well, you have to take care of yourself too."

Gu Yan looked at Cheng Wan deeply, the love and reluctance in his eyes almost solidified.

Cheng Wan nodded, looked at Shao Qing with a smile, and said in a gentle voice: "Shao Qing, don't just focus on taking care of your young master, take care of yourself more, we are also waiting for you to come back."

Shao Qing finally let down the tears she had been holding back for most of the day.

Shao Qing wiped away his tears vigorously with the back of his hand and nodded heavily: "I will, Master Cheng, don't worry."

Cheng Wan climbed onto the horse, took one last look at Gu Yan, whose eyes were red and wet, took a deep breath, turned the horse's head and said, "Let's go!"

Gu Yan instinctively took a few steps forward, and his spirit and soul seemed to have left with Cheng Wan.

"Master..."

Shao Qing looked at Gu Yan, who looked lonely and depressed, with concern.

Gu Yan blinked and said in a very light voice: "Shao Qing, when can I see her again? Two months, half a year, or even longer?"

"Master..."

"I miss her so much, Shaoqing, I miss her so much..."

Gu Yan looked at the direction where Cheng Wan left for a long time without moving, but Cheng Wan, whom she missed so much, had temporarily forgotten about him.
