Chapter 219 Concern
After Shen Xiaoxia finished speaking, Jiang Yan suddenly smiled, his handsome eyebrows relaxed, revealing his white and neat teeth, and even the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were tinged with joy.
Shen Xiaoxia pursed her lips, dazzled by that smile. Her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Yan continued to look directly at Shen Xiaoxia, sincere and gentle, and said, "I just think your personality is very good."
If you look at her appearance alone, you would think that Shen Xiaoxia is a gentle person who seems easy to talk to, making people want to get close to her.
However, those who have truly gotten along with her will understand that beneath this gentle appearance, she hides a tough and independent heart with her own unique intellectual territory. Facing the difficulties and challenges in life, she is courageous and resolute, and never backs down easily.
Like a green bamboo growing in the cracks of rocks, it looks weak but has a tenacious character.
Jiang Yan knew this very well, and because of this, he felt that Shen Xiaoxia was even more precious. Considering the nature of his job, which often required him to travel long distances, Shen Xiaoxia's character made him feel more at ease.
Shen Xiaoxia never hides her true character and thoughts in front of Jiang Yan.
"Very good..." Shen Xiaoxia glanced at Jiang Yan with a half-smile, her eyes flickering with a hint of playfulness, "Don't you guys like girls who are gentle and submissive?"
He deliberately dragged out the ending syllable, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately frowned, his eyes full of disapproval, "Hey...! I never said that!"
He leaned forward, his expression serious and a little anxious, afraid that Shen Xiaoxia would misunderstand something, "I just think you are just right, I like you very much."
Shen Xiaoxia has gradually become accustomed to Jiang Yan's occasional straightforward way of speaking.
She snorted softly and lowered her eyes to hide the smile in her eyes.
Seeing that Shen Xiaoxia did not continue with the somewhat dangerous topic, Jiang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject, bringing up other topics.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was very warm.
Before I knew it, the afterglow of the setting sun poured in through the window, dyeing the whole house a warm golden color.
In the evening, Jiang Yan did not stay with Shen Xiaoxia for dinner. Before leaving, he stood at the door. The cold winter wind lifted the corners of his clothes, but it did not affect the concern in his eyes at all. "Xia Xia, I can stay at home for another day tomorrow. Is there anything you need my help with? Do you want me to prepare some firewood for you?"
Shen Xiaoxia shook her head lightly, her hair swaying beside her cheeks. "No need, didn't you prepare a lot for me? It's enough for a while."
Moreover, in addition to those piled up in the open, she still had a lot of stock in her space. In addition, the several whole large trees that had been stored in the space before had not been processed yet. With those, she didn't have to worry about firewood until the weather got warmer.
Jiang Yan pressed the issue, "So, do you want to go to the county town tomorrow to take a stroll? Buy some things you need to replenish your supplies? Do you have enough grain, oil, rice, and flour?"
Shen Xiaoxia looked at Jiang Yan with a gentle expression, "No need, there's no shortage of things, don't worry about me. Tomorrow is the last day, you should just take a good rest. You'll be tired from running around when you're leaving."
Not only Jiang Yan was worried about her, she was also worried about Jiang Yan. Compared to her, Jiang Yan's job had more uncertainties.
Then he added, "You should be careful when you're out in the car. Try to eat on time. If someone really cuts you off, don't force it. Nothing is more important than safety."
Jiang Yan had a warm smile on his face as he listened to Shen Xiaoxia's nagging. He actually quite enjoyed Shen Xiaoxia's care and nagging. "Yeah, I know."
Seeing that it was getting late, Jiang Yan said again, "I'll come to see you tomorrow. What time do you think you'll get up?"
Shen Xiaoxia thought for a moment and said, "Around nine o'clock."
Jiang Yan nodded, "Okay, see you tomorrow!"
He then turned around and left, but after a few steps he turned back to look at Shen Xiaoxia. As a young couple who had just confirmed their relationship, they always wanted to stick together all the time. Now that they had just separated, the feeling of missing each other had already begun to brew in their hearts.
After seeing Jiang Yan off, it was still daylight and Shen Xiaoxia was stretching her hands and feet in the yard.
Han Zhuxin went out to the bathroom and saw Shen Xiaoxia wandering in the yard. She asked in confusion, "It's so cold, why are you wandering outside instead of staying in the house?"
Shen Xiaoxia walked back under the eaves and explained, "The kang has been burning all day in the room, and it's a bit stuffy. I came out to get some fresh air."
Han Zhuxin shrugged. "You don't mind the cold, right? By the way, are you short of vegetables? We went to the supply and marketing cooperative before the New Year and stocked up. Do you want to share some?"
Shen Xiaoxia shook her head and said, "No, I don't need anything. I have something to eat."
"Okay, go back to the house quickly and don't catch a cold. I'm going to the bathroom."
The moment the words fell, the man had already walked several steps out.
Perhaps hearing the voices of Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin talking outside, Zhao Lingling opened the door, carrying a bag of things and walked straight to Shen Xiaoxia. She first glanced into the room and asked in a low voice, "Is Jiang Yan back home?"
Shen Xiaoxia replied, "Yes, I went back."
Retracting her gaze towards the house, Zhao Lingling stuffed the thing in her hand into Shen Xiaoxia's, "This is for you."
Shen Xiaoxia shook it, "What is this?"
Zhao Lingling smiled and said, "My family sent some food to me and my brother. Try it."
Knowing that it was a return gift for those cakes, Shen Xiaoxia did not refuse. She just smiled and said thank you, "Thank you very much."
Zhao Lingling waved her hand casually, "You're welcome."
After delivering the things, Zhao Lingling didn't stay long. She stomped her feet and ran back quickly.
After Shen Xiaoxia returned to the house, she locked the door, added some firewood to the kang, and then entered the space.
I don't plan to cook for dinner, I'll just grab some cooked food.
After looking through it, I finally decided to eat clay pot rice. I got a combination of pork ribs and Cantonese sausage.
After washing up, do your daily check-in for today.
【System, sign in! 】
[Successful sign-in, congratulations to the host for receiving 500 yuan in cash! ]
Shen Xiaoxia's heart skipped a beat. It was another 500 yuan. It seemed that it was not an illusion. After the Chinese New Year, the cash she received every time she signed in really increased!
At least in the past few times, the cash she received each time she signed in mostly started at 500.
Wow! If this is true, then she's one step closer to living a less-than-optimal life!
Happy, happy!
With excitement, Shen Xiaoxia climbed onto the bed and fell asleep. In her dream, she had only one feeling: there was so much money. She was counting the money until her hands cramped. She was tired but happy!
