Chapter 326 Between two people
Seeing Qimuge enjoying his meal so much, Su Shian was also very pleased. She turned to look at Ding Erli beside her and said with a smile, "How is it? It tastes good, right?"
Ding Erli nodded repeatedly and replied with a smile: "Yeah, it's delicious. We used to make buns mostly with tofu, cabbage and pork. This is the first time I've tried making buns with beef and mutton as fillings." As she said that, she took another bite of the bun in her hand, savoring the flavor.
Su Shian had eaten it before, but he still praised Ding Erli: "Yes, I think it is very delicious too."
When Su Shikuan and Xiao Ran came back, Qimuge and Su Shian had already eaten their fill and went out to the yard for a walk and a chat. Nila told Su Shian everything about herself and Su Shikuan.
It turned out that Qimugege's father was actually a small king of a grassland tribe. According to the Wei State, Nila was either a princess or a county lady.
She was a girl particularly favored by men from the grasslands, so her standards were high and she had never set her eyes on anyone. Last year, when Su Shikuan brought goods to their tribe, she had a feeling that this man from the State of Wei was very much what she wanted.
In particular, after she helped drive away the troublemakers from the tribe, Su Shikuan pulled out a jade pendant and handed it to her. This sealed her fate. The pendant seemed to hold special meaning, perhaps representing Su Shikuan's promise to Nila or an expression of his affection. The moment Qimuge accepted the pendant, she felt a surge of joy and contentment, as if she had found her true destiny.
From then on, Qimuge often traded ghee and other items for porcelain and fabric with Su Shikuan, and their interactions became more frequent. Later, late one night, Su Shikuan took her home under the stars, deeply touching her. The jade pendant also deepened their subtle bond, leaving a lasting impression on Qimuge.
Qimuge carefully took the jade pendant out of his pocket and handed it to Su Shian. After a careful examination, Su Shian found that this jade pendant was indeed given to them by Deng Qiyue during the Chinese New Year a few years ago. Of course, Deng Yangchen also had one, because Deng Qiyue always felt that he and the Su siblings were close, so if Su Shian and the others had one, Deng Yangchen naturally had one too.
Each jade pendant was a delicate work of art. They were all nearly identical in size, but to differentiate them, everyone decided to carve their favorite items onto them. Su Shining's pendant, for example, featured a delicate, alluring peony, emanating an enchanting fragrance. Su Shi'an's featured a plum blossom, blooming alone in the cold, evoking a spirit of resilience. Su Shirong's featured a tall, resolute pine tree, proudly standing tall, as if expressing an unyielding spirit. As for Su Shikuan, he opted for an abacus, a meticulously calculated piece, a truly unique piece.
However, Deng Yangchen was still young, and his mind was full of ideas. First, he wanted to carve a steamed bun, then a wooden baseball bat, and even a brush. Seeing so many ideas in his mind, he couldn't quite decide what he'd truly like. Finally, Deng Qiyue suggested leaving it blank for now. It wouldn't be too late to carve the design he truly desired once Deng Yangchen's mind settled.
At this moment, Su Shian gently stroked the delicate abacus pattern on the jade pendant, his eyes revealing deep nostalgia. He slowly said, "Qimuge, this is indeed my eldest brother's..."
Qimuge looked at Su Shian with anticipation in her eyes and asked, "Anan, this thing must be very important to him, right?" Her tone was filled with curiosity and doubt, as if she wanted to get a positive answer from Su Shian.
Su Shian nodded slightly, with a serious look on his face, and said, "It is indeed very important." Although the Su family's life is getting better and better now, the jade pendant that Deng Qiyue gave them has gradually become a symbol of their identity. The meaning it contains is far more special than other ordinary items.
After hearing this, Qimugege felt a little dissatisfied and pouted her lips and complained, "But he gave me such an important thing, but sold all the goods and ran away. An An, do you think he went a bit too far?" Her eyes revealed a hint of grievance and disappointment, as if she had been let down.
Su Shian immediately stood on Nila's side and said indignantly: "My elder brother left without even saying goodbye to you." Her voice was full of concern and support for Nila, which made Qimugege feel warm in his heart.
Qimuge shook his head and replied with a hint of disappointment in his tone, "No."
Su Shian quickly comforted her, "He really did go too far and deserves to be scolded! Let's scold him together!" After that, she gently patted the back of Qimugege's hand, indicating that she would always be by her side.
Su Shikuan and Xiao Ran were listening behind them, and finally couldn't help but jump out and said loudly: "An An, why are you so reluctant? I also want to say goodbye to her, but I'm afraid I can't explain it clearly..."
"Brother, this is really your fault. Qimugege is not an unreasonable person, how could he not explain it clearly!" Su Shian was very dissatisfied with Su Shikuan's words, and his tone became serious. "You gave the jade pendant to Qimugege, but didn't explain it clearly. This is a mistake. Moreover, you knew that Nila was becoming more and more interested in you, but you didn't tell her your true thoughts in time. This is even more wrong!"
Su Shikuan scratched his head innocently, sighed helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "An An, hey~ you don't understand..." As he said that, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Qimugege's eyes full of grievance, and always avoided him intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiao Ran could understand Su Shikuan's thoughts. He felt that Su Shikuan did not have no feelings for Qi Muge, but there must be some problems that he could not solve, so he chose to avoid dealing with them in this way. After all, feelings are sometimes difficult to explain clearly, and it is also difficult to make the right choice.
Xiao Ran thought that since Ni La had come to his house, then this matter should be handled by Su Shi Kuan himself. So, he walked over to Su Shi An, pulled up Su Shi An who was still talking nonstop, and prepared to leave. However, Su Shi An was unwilling to leave like this. She protested against Xiao Ran's actions, but Xiao Ran could only lower his voice and whisper in her ear: "Let your eldest brother and the others solve it themselves. We shouldn't be involved in the cause and effect of their relationship."
