199 His past
"You've cleaned up?"
"Well, the time is too short, and complex designs are not suitable, so I can only be simpler."
“Sometimes, the simpler the more advanced it is.”
Jiang Zhen curled his lips and smiled, "It is the best you can like."
After entering the room, the simple sense of high-end style became even stronger. Ye Taoyao's eyes shiny. It was amazing to be able to decorate this level in more than ten days.
"How?" Jiang Zhen asked.
"Very good." Ye Taoyao praised sincerely and blurted out, "If I had known, you would have helped design the house I bought in Longhuyuan."
After saying that, he remembered something and frowned in regret.
When Jiang Zhen saw this, he laughed happily, "Hahaha, if my father-in-law hears this, should he say whether a girl is too old or not? Or is it an extrovert?"
"Will you sue?"
"Of course not..." Jiang Zhen was still very eager to survive. He took her hand and looked at the rooms one by one, but he didn't even let go of the bedroom on the second floor.
There are two bedrooms on the second floor. Jiang Zhen pointed to one and said to her, "This is for you."
Ye Taoyao couldn't help but feel a fever on his face, and he looked at him calmly, "It's not bad, but I'm afraid I'm going to let you down, I have to follow the crowd."
"Occasionally, you can still come and stay for a while." Jiang Zhen pointed to the huge terrace and coaxed him, "I don't know how beautiful it is when I sit on the terrace to watch the stars at night."
The imperial capital is heavily polluted and there has been no beautiful scenery of thousands of miles of starry sky, but it is OK here.
Ye Taoyao cleared her throat, "You can watch it even in the dormitory."
"Not comfortable here." Jiang Zhen took her over and pointed to the sofa on the terrace and the tall green plants. "Lying here and looking up at the stars is much more comfortable than sticking out of the dormitory to see."
Ye Taoyao looked at him with a smile.
Jiang Zhen surrounded her waist, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes, "Okay, I'm trying my best to tempt you. So Yaoyao, are you moved by me?"
"You can see the stars, you don't need to stay overnight."
"Okay, then my previous efforts were not in vain."
Jiang Zhen stopped when he saw it, and he didn't expect her to agree immediately. With a good start, he would be able to slowly plan it later.
The two went downstairs to have a meal. Ye Taoyao saw that there was no mutton pot on the table and asked curiously, "Have you finished eating at noon?"
"I'll share it with Changyuan. The longer the mutton is, the better. The meat is too bad and it tastes less delicious. I'll make it for you tomorrow."
"good……"
"You won't have anything to do tomorrow, will you?"
"It shouldn't."
"If Du Ruo is looking for trouble..."
"I'll push it."
When Jiang Zhen heard this answer, he was satisfied. In the following time, his attitude towards her was extremely earnest, which made her feel like she was favored by the whole world.
After dinner, the two of them first walked around the yard, then returned to the terrace on the second floor to drink tea and watch the stars. They lay on the wide sofa, leaning against the soft pillow, the air was filled with the fragrance of green plants and tea, and they felt comfortable that they could not extricate themselves.
Jiang Zhen was half lying beside her. When he placed the sofa, he chose to lie two people away. As expected, this arrangement was amazing. He hugged the person on his chest, pointed to the stars on his head, taught her to recognize various signs, and explained the mystery of the universe to her...
Ye Taoyao was originally not interested in astronomy knowledge, but gradually, he could not help but say, "You know so much, is it because of your interest?"
"No." Jiang Zhen paused, and then said lightly, "I used to be needed when I was working."
"Hmm?" Ye Taoyao was curious, "You have worked before?"
"Well..." Jiang Zhen's voice was a little erratic, and those long-standing memories floated in his mind again, making his face look a little cold. "I got several doctoral degrees when I was twenty years old, and then went to the army."
Ye Taoyao felt aroused. She didn't expect that he would have such experience. But thinking about it, it was not surprising that the two generations of the Jiang and Jiang family were big shots in the military, so it was normal for their descendants to take this path. What's strange is why he didn't persist and stayed away from it. Since then, he no longer stepped into any circle.
"At that time, I was very proud and thought that no one was my opponent. Any difficulties were irresistible in front of me. At the beginning, it was true. There was nothing I could not do. Everyone around me was the only one who followed me. Praising me for being better than me would make the Jiang family more stable. I never doubted it, but..."
Ye Taoyao suddenly remembered the one who died in the Du family and said, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."
Jiang Zhen lowered his head and stared at her deeply, "If it were before, I would never say it, and I had never told anyone, but now, I want to tell you, Yaoyao, why do you think this is?"
Ye Taoyao did not answer directly, but said, "It is said that sharing happiness with others will double, sharing pain with others will halve. No matter how powerful a person is, someone needs to share his emotions. You didn't know before, probably because your sister met someone she wanted to talk to."
Jiang Zhen smiled slowly, "You are right. Now that I meet you, I have hope of congratulations. It's strange, right? I didn't want to fight either. I thought that those things would be taken to the grave by me and would not be opened for the rest of my life, because... that is my stain, representing my failure. How can a person who pursues perfection like me accept and face it?"
Ye Taoyao heard this, but said, "It was because of that incident that you became pursuing perfection all the time and everywhere, and you can't stand the flaws at all times, right?"
Jiang Zhen's body suddenly became stiff and his face was dim and unclear, "Why do you say that?"
Ye Taoyao patted his arm as if comfortingly, "Intuition, and speculation, you said just now, that was your stain, witnessing your failure and causing you to leave the army. It can be seen how much impact that thing has on you and how deeply it hurts. Since then, your temperament has changed drastically. In fact, it is because you are blaming yourself. You think that if you did a little more perfectly, the tragedy would not have happened, and you don't have to bear the pain, right?"
Jiang Zhen was silent for a long time before he said hoarsely, "Yes, at the beginning, I was too arrogant and arrogant, too self-righteous. I thought I could face any danger, resolve any crisis, and turn the danger into safety under any danger. But... God gave me a head-on blow, and that blow made me lose my best friend. Even if the final mission is completed, but he is gone, why do I still have the face to stay in the army?"
