Chapter 5: Dancer Mami (5)
In the evening, the meals for ten people were finally prepared. We spread a large cloth on the grass, served the meals, and sat down to eat together...
"You must try them carefully, these are all made by the 'Dancer' alone." Wei'er said with a smile!
"Hey, I must try it!"
After saying that, Zhou Yan was the first to pick up his chopsticks and casually picked up a dish and put it into his mouth!
They ate with gusto and praised the dish highly. After hearing what Zhou Yan said, others also started eating. Sure enough, the taste was not bad, but the dish was a bit...
When he put the food in his mouth, Ziheng was even more surprised. Both the dishes and the taste were so familiar that Ziheng could hardly believe his eyes and taste buds. The more he came into contact with them, the more Ziheng could find the similarities between Yinyin and Shuer. He agreed to this outing because he wanted to know more about Yinyin!
The presentation of the dishes was very strange, but no one cared. As long as they were delicious and edible, everyone thought it was Yin Yin’s recipe, so no one asked any more questions.
After dinner, those who had not participated in the labor before had to help wash the dishes and clean up the mess...
It was already dark, Xinxin and Yan Ruxue were washing dishes, while the others were chatting around the fire...
"Yin Yin, I didn't expect your cooking skills are so good. I guess if you open an inn, it will be full of guests--" Zhou Yan praised as he recalled the meal he had eaten!
"Stop making fun of me. The food I cook is not even presentable--" Yin Yin said with self-awareness!
"How dare I? A girl like you who is talented and can cook, I really want to marry you as my wife—" These words are Zhou Yan's inner thoughts and true words!
Although Zhou Yan's tone of voice seemed half-joking and in line with the topic, his words made some people waver!
"The Second Prince is such a joker. I heard that he has already been engaged to Princess Han Ji of Korea. Why does he want to marry the 'dancer'? Does he want to monopolize the two girls in the world?" Xiang Qin laughed loudly!
What she got in return was Zhou Yan's cold eyes, while Han Ji remained silent...
"Huh?? The Second Prince and Sister Han Ji are engaged??"
This is the first time I heard of this. I didn't expect that the people around me have such a relationship? But Yinyin doesn't care too much!
But Yin Yin didn't notice that everyone changed and became silent because of Xiang Qin's words?
The follow-up had to end in a depressed mood.
When it’s time to go to bed at night, the job of keeping watch was originally done by Shan Zhen, but Yin Yin felt that since it was a rare opportunity to be out, everyone should be treated equally, so they took turns keeping watch. However, as men, they would never let a woman do the keeping watch, so the four men had to take turns!
When everyone was fast asleep, only Yin Yin could not fall asleep for a long time. She walked out of the tent, sat on the grass and looked at the stars in the sky. Ziheng, who had just gone to find dry firewood, came back to the fire and saw Yin Yin sitting on the grass looking at the stars, so he walked over!
After the two parties greeted each other, Ziheng sat next to Yinyin!
"Hey, do you think that when people die, they will turn into stars in the sky?"
Looking at the stars, Yin Yin asked!
Ziheng looked at Yinyin with a puzzled look.
"I heard that when people die, they turn into stars in the sky!"
Yinyin’s words seemed very profound, but Ziheng seemed to understand them!
"I wonder if he is really gone, would he have become a star in the sky, watching me?" There is a hint of sadness hidden beneath Yin Yin's cheerful appearance!
"who is he?"
When Yinyin heard Ziheng's question, she lowered her head!
"Someone I may never see again in my life!" Yin Yin said with a sad face!
Yinyin's words hit Ziheng's heart hard. Wasn't what Yinyin said the same thing he had said before? Was it rare that Yinyin had the same story as him? Or was it...
"I think it's weird, isn't it? When we don't know where he is now, or whether he's alive or dead, you're still so excited to come camping. Am I being too much?"
Yin Yin seemed to be smiling, but her unconcealable sadness gradually revealed itself!
I don't know why, when I heard Yinyin talking about her current affairs, I felt that they were very similar to me. I was also in the same situation, not knowing where my beloved was, whether he was dead or alive. Ziheng also fell into the same sorrow as Yinyin...
"…But I can't cry, because he said he doesn't like to see me cry—"
Listening to Yinyin telling her story, Ziheng always felt that Yinyin and Shuer were the same person, but after waking up, he would always find that Yinyin was still Yinyin...
The two were silent for a long time.
Until the next round of night watchmen appear.
"Yin Yin——" a soft call!
Looking back, Zhou Yan was walking towards this side!
"The time is up, you can go and have a rest--" said to Ziheng!
"knew!"
Ziheng stood up, brushed off the remaining weeds on his body and returned to the tent!
Only after watching Ziheng enter the tent did Zhou Yan sit down next to Yinyin!
"Why don't you go take a rest?"
Looking ahead, Zhou Yan asked!
“I can’t sleep!”
Yin Yin looks like she has a lot on her mind!
"Are you worried?"
Zhou Yan looked at Yin Yin from the side and asked with concern!
Yinyin didn't reply, but her expression told him that she was worried...
After a while, Yin Yin still didn't speak, so Zhou Yan turned his eyes and looked ahead and said: "Han Ji and I are just a political marriage, both of us are sacrifices of the country, there is no love between her and me at all——"
Yin Yin was curious when she heard Zhou Yan say this, but she could understand it !
"As long as we are in an imperial family or an official family, we may become victims of political marriage. There are countless examples of two people who cannot be together in the end even if they love each other—"
No wonder, when they heard about Zhou Yan and Han Ji's marriage, everyone became so depressed. Those who knew about it thought that they were royal descendants and nobles, and they could have whatever they wanted, but behind the scenes, they didn't even have the right to choose their own happiness...
"But it's different, my brother. It was their own choice—" Zhou Yan deliberately changed the subject!
"?? He decided on his own marriage??"
It was really strange. From Zhou Cheng's previous behavior towards me, I thought that Zhou Cheng liked me . Zhang Yinyin should be at fault. How could this be? Ah, I heard that he had rejected the marriage proposal before. Could it be that he was just feeling sorry and doing something that cared about me? Yinyin was very puzzled!!
"...Do you still have feelings for him?"
Looking at Yin Yin's expression of careful consideration, Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel angry!
"That's not the case—"
Yin Yin's tone was calm. She just felt that he was a really unpredictable person. If he said he was compensating her, why did his behavior feel so intimate?
"So what are you thinking about??"
Hearing Yin Yin's usual tone , Zhou Yan felt a little relieved, but he was very curious about what Yin Yin was thinking about so intently!
"I wonder if he likes me?"
These words were undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue, leaving Zhou Yan speechless!
"But it's really strange. If you like me, you shouldn't marry Jiang Ruting. Is it really just compensation?"
Yin Yin couldn't figure it out and wondered if she was thinking too much.
"...He must have felt really bad for you, for causing you to lose your memory, so he was so nice to you before. Just don't take it to heart!"
Fortunately, Zhou Yan understood Yin Yin’s words and directly said it was compensation and took it over!
"Oh?? ...Maybe!"
It was true that she had hurt herself, but as for amnesia, forget it, I'd rather not think about it! But she seemed to have forgotten something important!
Seeing that Yinyin seemed to have let things go, Zhou Yan felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his chest! He lay down and looked at the stars in the sky...
"Look, there are so many stars--" Zhou Yan said happily with his hands on the back of his head!
"Yeah, that's right—" After hearing Zhou Yan's words, Yin Yin looked up at the stars in the sky again!
I don’t know how long it took, but Zhou Cheng, who wanted to come out to take over the night watch, saw Zhou Yan and Yin Yin looking at the stars. The atmosphere was pretty good, so he turned back to the tent in a somewhat depressed mood...
That night, Zhou Yan, Zhou Cheng, and Ziheng all stayed awake, all of them were full of worries. Only Yinyin ran back to the tent to take a nap! She completely ignored what the three grown men were worried about...
