C165 Unable to Maintain a Distance
"Which country are you from?" Qin Yue quickly realized that Qin Yizhao was trying to get more information out of her.
Qin Yizhao did not answer.
At this moment, neither of them said anything. Duan Jue's song had also ended. There was no sound at all, only the sound of the leaves swaying gently in the forest. Duan Jue very quickly clicked on another sorrowful song, singing it so sadly. In this group of people, only Duan Yu was not trapped by love, the others were struggling with their emotions.
Qin Yizhao exhaled and was silent for a while. He said to Qin Yue, "It is better for a woman to be gentle. Don't be too strong."
"I don't want to be gentle. I like to be strong." Qin Yue's stubborn temper rose.
Qin Yizhao was silent.
"Why is it like not seeing each other? If not, I wouldn't be sad." Qin Yue looked into the distance and murmured.
Qin Yizhao looked at her and patted her shoulder, "Do as you see fit. Think about what kind of life you want."
Qin Yue was also in such a dilemma. His matter had not been settled properly and everyone felt sad. This was what life was like.
The whole scene was very strange. Qin Yue did not stay there any longer and returned to her wooden house.
Duan Jue saw that Qin Yue had returned. He did not sing anymore and followed behind her.
Duan Yu and Ye Zhijie drank quite a bit. Zhu Ruiyan did not start singing. She had a lot on her mind and could not sing.
"Miss Zhu, I still want to eat something. I will have to trouble you to do it." Qin Yizhao said to Zhu Ruiyan while he was still at the same place.
Zhu Ruiyan was a little surprised. She reacted for a while and asked, "What do you want me to roast?"
"Anything is fine." Qin Yizhao said lightly and walked to her side.
"Leader Qin, I don't know what 'fine' means?"
Qin Yizhao's eyebrows twitched, and he smiled. "Then, give me a few skewers of each type."
Duan Yu and Ye Zhijie looked at each other. Ye Zhijie drank in one breath.
Duan Yu smiled helplessly. "Ye Zhijie, let's go too. Shall we continue drinking at my place?"
Ye Zhijie took the rest of the wine on the table and said, "I need to go back and rest. I'll go fishing tomorrow." Ye Zhijie went back.
"Yizhao, Zhu Ruiyan, you guys should eat more. I am a little tired. I will go back first." Duan Yu pretended to be very tired and left.
Qin Yizhao sat down beside Zhu Ruiyan.
Zhu Ruiyan saw him sit beside her and felt a little numb on her scalp. She felt a little nervous in her heart. She kept cursing this person in her heart. Everyone else had eaten it back. This person had only just started to eat and still wanted her to specially roast it for him. He was really a leader. He would not think about his subordinates.
Zhu Ruiyan felt that she should do whatever she wanted to do. Just roast it. She put the food on and put it on the fire.
Qin Yizhao still smoked.
"Do you want mutton?" Zhu Ruiyan asked.
Qin Yizhao tilted his head and looked at the roasted mutton. The fragrance was overflowing. It was very tempting to grab it in Zhu Ruiyan's hand.
"I like it with cumin powder." Qin Yizhao made a request.
Zhu Ruiyan obediently took back some cumin powder from the fire and gave it to him.
Qin Yizhao looked at it and did not stretch out his hand to take it. He quietly stared at the barbecue in front of him. Zhu Ruiyan saw that he did not take it and did not know why, so she asked, "What else do you want to add?"
"I like adding chili powder." She said very naturally and did not hold back at all.
Zhu Ruiyan felt that this was the person who had been a leader for a long time. The commander did not even need to think before he took it to the fire and roasted it. He added chili and handed it to him. "Add chili powder."
Qin Yizhao still did not take it.
Zhu Ruiyan looked at him. She put a plate on herself and placed it on a stool. She moved the stool in front of Qin Yizhao.
"You eat, I will roast some other things."
Qin Yizhao looked at her and found it funny in his heart. He said calmly, "Yes, it looks very attractive, like a barbeque person."
This meant a lot.
Zhu Ruiyan's face turned slightly red when she heard that. No matter what, she did not say it. She did not say it and just pretended that she did not understand it.
Qin Yizhao saw that she did not want to talk, so he extinguished the cigarette, threw it into the smoking pipe, and ate mutton skewers.
"The taste is not bad." Qin Yizhao praised, eating very energetically.
Zhu Ruiyan was embarrassed to reply, "Leader Qin, I will roast some more for you."
"These things taste very good, but I don't want to eat these!" He was very emotional. He was so straightforward. What he wanted to eat was not these things, but people who prepared this kind of delicious food.
The temperature on Zhu Ruiyan's face rose several degrees and her head almost fell down to her neck. She calmed her mind and warned herself not to be provoked by his words. She must wake up. She had already endured for a few months. She couldn't break down just like that.
She lowered her head and continued barbecuing. Carrying a plate of half-cooked meat skewers and fish, she asked Qin Yizhao, "Can you roast these more?"
He knew that Qin Yizhao usually ate a lot. It was just that he only ate two skewers in front of him, and then let her serve him. What exactly was this person thinking? Wasn't the two of them finished? What was the point of doing this?
"Less, double it, some eggplants, a few fish, and a few meat skewers."
Zhu Ruiyan obediently prepared, but she added one more sentence, "Eating so much tonight is not easy to digest."
"My stomach is empty. I did not eat anything today." Qin Yizhao explained.
Zhu Ruiyan heard this and felt a heartache. Without thinking, she asked with concern, "How can you not eat? Your stomach will not be good."
Once she said this, she felt that she was no longer his. Why did she ask these questions? However, she still felt her heart ache. Why didn't this person know how to cherish his own body? Does he really know how to live? Who would help him wash his clothes? Who would help him cook his food? How could he starve all day long?
Qin Yizhao smiled as if he was pretending to be cool. "Anyway, no one cares about me. I have too many things to do. I forgot."
"No matter how many things I have to do, I can't be hungry." Zhu Ruiyan said so.
"Miss Zhu, do you really want to know about my life?" Qin Yizhao continued to eat the skewers. "You won't have any other purpose like this, right?"
Zhu Ruiyan could not speak anymore. She was a little upset and did not care about him. She was really free, but why did she care so much about him? "Leader Qin, don't misunderstand. It's because you have some relationship with our leader. So I said a few more words."
"That's the reason?" Qin Yizhao smiled.
Zhu Ruiyan looked at his eyes and could not see through his emotions.
"Leader Qin..."
"Miss Zhu..."
The two of them called each other at the same time.
Qin Yizhao stopped talking and waited for Zhu Ruiyan to speak first.
"Leader Qin, you eat. After you eat, go back and rest." Zhu Ruiyan spoke. She felt that he and Qin Yizhao were the only ones left here. It was too ambiguous and she felt uncomfortable.
Qin Yizhao looked at her and did not force her. "So Miss Zhu does not want to help me roast things. Alright, Miss Zhu can go back first."
Zhu Ruiyan really wanted to leave, but when she thought about how he was always hungry, she still said, "I will leave after I roast these."
Qin Yizhao did not say anything. After a while, he said, "I have something I don't know if I should say or not."
Zhu Ruiyan flipped the thing in her hand over. She felt that even if she told him not to say it, he would still find a time to say it. She lightly replied, "If you want to say it, then say it."
"I just want to say that I haven't seen you for a few months and have improved a lot." Qin Yizhao's eyes were facing her and he spoke very seriously.
Zhu Ruiyan did not understand. How had she improved?
Qin Yizhao did not explain. He only smiled. He said that she had improved. He said that she had given him a dime previously, but now she could quietly sit beside him and help him roast food.
She was worth nurturing. She could control her emotions so quickly and deal with him freely.
Qin Yizhao smiled. The depression between his brows was swept away. Qin Yizhao usually laughed. Sometimes, he would smile sincerely, and sometimes, he would smile at social gatherings. Sometimes he would smile politely and in all kinds of ways, but his mood was different. The meaning of laughing was different.
Zhu Ruiyan did not know what to say. She did not ask about what she did not know and just roasted the things in her hands.
She should talk less with him. Otherwise, it would be even more complicated. At that time, she had already decided to end it. She did not want to let herself be addicted anymore.
"Experts are among the people. Miss Zhu, for you to be able to do this, your improvement is really not small. Congratulations, you have learned something. " Qin Yizhao's voice was low. He looked at her with his bright eyes. There seemed to be endless starlight in his eyes.
Zhu Ruiyan was stunned and somewhat flustered. "Sorry, my brain is not enough. I don't understand Leader Qin's meaning."
She had just finished speaking when Qin Yizhao started laughing beside her ear. Zhu Ruiyan was a little embarrassed and angry. She turned her head and saw that Qin Yizhao was waiting for her on the other side. She was so close that Zhu Ruiyan panicked and wanted to avoid him. Qin Yizhao held her chin with his hand, "I just praised you and you have returned to your original appearance."
Zhu Ruiyan was shocked and panicked. She struggled hard and wanted to break free from his control. She only twisted randomly and did not stand up. She directly knocked over the stool that was placed on the plate and sat on the grass.
"Is it necessary?" Qin Yizhao smiled and handed her a hand to pull her up.
Zhu Ruiyan saw his hand but did not put her hand on it. She supported herself with the grass and stood up.
Qin Yizhao was not angry. The usual smile in front of him was gone. There was a coldness between his brows. He looked at Zhu Ruiyan with a stronger aura, but the way he looked at Zhu Ruiyan at this time was so deep and loving. There was love in his eyes.
She wanted to keep a distance from him.
After Zhu Ruiyan stood up, she continued to roast the food. However, her heart was not as stable as it seemed on the surface.
She did not make a sound and quietly barbequed the food. After it was cooked, she put the food on the plate and sent it to the stool in front of him.
She could not see through that person and did not know if there was a trap in his actions. When was she supposed to protect him like this?
Qin Yizhao saw that she had been silent the whole time. He sized her up and looked at her shoulder-length hair. He really wanted to reach out and rub it.
Zhu Ruiyan just quietly stood in the night sky and looked at her. She felt that her heart had become much gentler. Those kind eyes. It was breathtaking as she looked at the eyelashes above her eyes. A slight tremble did not escape his eyes. Qin Yizhao smiled.
She was afraid...
Zhu Ruiyan did not say anything. He just said, "Did you fall very heavily just now?"
Zhu Ruiyan still did not say anything.
Qin Yizhao smiled. Zhu Ruiyan's body had always been tense. She was very afraid of him.
Qin Yizhao simply stretched out his hand and pulled her. "Is it really very heavy? Let me take a look?" As he spoke, he put down the barbeque. He was really going to take a look.
Zhu Ruiyan became anxious. "Don't. It's not that heavy."2
Even if it was heavy, she did not let him see. It was her butt that fell.
"Not heavy? It looks like your situation is a little serious?" Qin Yizhao said this as if he was very worried. In reality, he did not care at all. He knew that she did not fall heavily. The ground was not high, and there was grass below.
