In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

The two of them walked together, but they were both shy, so they were silent all the way.

Chu Qingyin looked at Lu Yan with a serious expression. Although she dared to say anything in front of him when delivering messages on weekdays, she became timid when they met face to face. The two were three or four years apart in age, and this man was so tall. Standing in front of him, she felt as small as a rabbit that could be crushed to death at any time.

The same goes for Lu Yan. He usually watched Chu Qingyin being so enthusiastic towards him in his heart. Although he was not good at speaking, he especially liked listening to him talk. Today's meeting made her so embarrassed. Now he didn't talk to him. How dare he take the initiative to mention it to the witch?

So Chu Qingyin regretted her embarrassing image again and again, and even regretted traveling here to celebrate the New Year. She should have known not to agree to 101 earlier.

Lu Yan regretted again and again that he had failed to protect the witch and caused her to suffer such a great humiliation. Every time he thought about it, he blamed himself and even felt ashamed to face her.

So the two of them walked this way, each with their own thoughts, without saying a word. For a full half hour, both of them were regretting it in their hearts.

When the two of them arrived at where Lu Yan was, there was no one else there because Lu Yan had made arrangements in advance. Since there were not many meals in Xixiang, when he learned that Chu Qingyin was coming, he immediately rushed to buy the best meals from the next county.

So when the two of them sat down, the table was filled with a full banquet. He knew that Xixiang was poor, so Lu Yan was very frugal in eating on weekdays. As long as he could eat his fill, it was fine. The cost of this meal tonight could cover all his previous meals.

Seeing Lu Yan still not saying anything, Chu Qingyin knew that he respected her very much in his heart, so she didn't doubt whether he was impatient with her, but just thought he was too shy, so she had to speak:

"We met in such a hurry today, I'm really in a mess. I wonder if there's a place to freshen up here. I really can't face people in my current state..."

Seeing Chu Xingyin in such a difficult position, Lu Yan suddenly felt that although he had made every effort to arrange everything, it was still really inconsiderate. He had actually forgotten that a girl's most important thing was her appearance, and he let the witch sit in front of him so awkwardly before starting to eat...

"Lu Yan was inconsiderate. This time, all the people accompanying us are men, so many of the girls' household items are missing. Xixiang has been hit by a drought recently, so buying things might not be easy. Perhaps we'll have to let the witch make do with the things used by us rough men..."

Chu Qingyin complained in her heart, what rough men? She was a senior in high school and was perhaps even more unrefined than Lu Yan in her daily life, so how could she dislike them?

"That's nothing, as long as I can freshen up."

Lu Yan looked at the food on the table. Although he didn't feel bad, he was worried that if Chu Qingyin came out, the food might have gotten cold, and it would be difficult for him to get the food on the table again.

So he had to protect her carefully. When Chu Qingyin went out to get dressed, he asked someone to come over and heat up the food.

Since she was not familiar with the things here, Chu Qingyin spent an hour just to wash and dress. The clothes on her body were still wearable. It must be said that the quality of the things provided by 101 was really good. This dress was not only beautiful, but it didn't even get dirty...

This was the first time she and Lu Yan met, and it was a meeting where both of them showed up.

She didn't know how to describe her feelings. When she lay in the bathtub, she thought of Lu Yan's occasionally red face, his eight-foot height, and his skin, which was a little rough and dark from being tanned at the border, and his heroic spirit.

I didn't expect that he didn't seem to care much about appearance and didn't get along with girls, but he was so considerate.

He had such a big bathtub, and I don't know where he got some flower petals from in the middle of winter.

Although these things were easy for Prince Jing, who came from a wealthy family, this was Xixiang, and there was nothing here.

After a long time, Chu Qingyin finished washing up. When she came out again, she was wearing the same clothes and had removed all the makeup on her face. She was not wearing any makeup at all.

Her already delicate skin was so pure and untainted, as white as a peeled egg, and her big eyes flickered like stars in the dark night.

When she picked up the chopsticks, her hands were as smooth as jade, and Lu Yan didn't dare to look at them again after just one look.

When I picked up these dishes, the taste had not changed and they were still hot.

"Thank you Prince Jing for your concern."

Although they seemed to be good friends in their letters on weekdays, in this situation, Chu Qingyin always unconsciously wanted to be polite to him, as if she would have made a mistake if she was not familiar with these etiquettes.

But these words sounded unfamiliar to Lu Yan.

"There's no need for the witch to be so distant with Lu Yan. I can never be Prince Jing in front of you. But Lu Yan, although he is a little more noble now, I will never forget the witch's great kindness to Zhenbei Jun."

Although these words were meant to express loyalty, they were too formal. Chu Qingyin was a little uncomfortable with them, so she quickly tried to smooth things over:

"What are you talking about? Saying this makes us seem like strangers. I came all the way from where we are tonight just to have New Year's Eve dinner with you. I think you must be a little lonely being alone in Xixiang without any friends, and so am I."

Lu Yan was a little surprised to hear this. He heard the witch herself say that she was just an ordinary person and the person she cared about most seemed to have passed away. But she had so many special abilities, how could she be so lonely?

"A witch so clever and resourceful, there must be hundreds of people who want to be with you. How come no one wants to eat New Year's Eve dinner with you?"

Hearing Lu Yan's question, she didn't know how to answer him.

She couldn't tell him that she had picked up these things by chance, and that she had acquired these special abilities by chance. In fact, she had never had any friends or family since she was a child.

Seeing the witch remain silent for a long time, Lu Yan realized that what he said might not be appropriate, so he quickly changed the subject:

"Thank you for traveling all the way here, Miko. It's a pity that it's a bit deserted here in Xixiang today. I wonder if the food is to your liking?"

When this question was finally asked, Chu Qingyin was already drooling at the table of food in front of her.

Was she going to tell Lu Yan that as an omnipotent deity, she had only eaten a bowl of frozen dumplings for New Year’s Eve dinner?
