Chapter 114 Qi Pei x Yu Anran: Now that you are here, be happy

In his left ear was the howling wind outside the window, and in his right ear was Qi Pei's deep and sweet praise. The two voices were intertwined. Yu Anran bit her lower lip, not knowing how to answer the words.

"Yes, Brother Pei, you feel the same way." Anan didn't notice the subtlety of the atmosphere, and was still complacent that Qi Pei and he were on the same front.

There was a crack in Ah Chuan's expression. He glanced at Qi Pei in disbelief and lowered his voice: "Didn't you say yesterday that your parents were just 'okay'?"

"I didn't see clearly at that time." Qi Pei didn't care.

He glanced at the rearview mirror again. Yu Anran lowered his head slightly and didn't know what he was thinking. However, those beautiful eyes were no longer as cold as before. They now had an inexplicable amount of restraint and embarrassment, making them look a little bit...

Cute.

Qi Pei couldn't help laughing.

"Yu Anran, please ignore him, Brother Pei just likes to tease people." Ah Chuan also added an accent to the word "tease".

"Yeah." Yu Anran said softly.

Anan on the side noticed something was wrong: "But Brother Pei, you seem to be older than Sister Yu. Isn't it inappropriate to call me sister?"

"Really?" Qi Pei played with his phone and asked Yu Anran directly this time: "What year are you from?"

Yu Anran said honestly: "I was born in 1995, 23 years old."

"You are indeed younger than me, otherwise, why don't you call me Sister Yu?"

"..."

Yu Anran swore that in 23 years she had never met anyone who could chatter more nonsense than Qi Pei. At this moment, she just wanted to end this topic quickly.

She asked Achuan: "How long until we arrive?"

Seeing Yu Anran clumsily change the subject, Qi Pei had a vague illusion of bullying.

As you speak, you reach your destination.

The town is a bit bigger this time, and there are people passing by.

Qi Pei looked out, looking for a parking space, and said at the same time: "Let's find a place to eat first."

After parking the car, the group looked for a restaurant along the road. Yu Anran fell behind and she looked at the road intently.

It was already noon, the sun was high in the sky, and Yu Anran still couldn't feel the slightest warmth. The air in Xilan was dry, and Yu Anran's nose felt a little uncomfortable. She took a breath and unconsciously wrapped herself in the down jacket.

"Still not feeling well?"

Qi Pei was walking side by side with her at some point.

"No," Yu Anran shook his head, "The air here is relatively dry, I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

"You look worried, Miss Yu."

"..."

Yu Anran was not used to being around people, let alone strangers whom she had only known for two days.

It's hard to describe this feeling. It's like she has always had her own little world, and suddenly one day, this world is invaded by aliens, leaving her helpless and scared.

But she didn't want to explain too much to Qi Pei, so she just said perfunctorily: "No, it's just that I'm not used to it when I first came here."

"Now that you're here, be happy."

After hearing this, Yu Anran turned to look at him. Qi Pei no longer had the carefree attitude of "teasing" her in the car just now. Yu Anran discovered that there was a shallow mole about a millimeter below his lip.

His words were vaguely visible.

Looking away, Yu Anran responded softly: "Okay."

The four ended up finding a local diner with home-cooked food.

Adhering to the principle that visitors are guests, Qi Pei placed the menu in front of Yu Anran: "Let's see what you want to eat."

There were all kinds of things on the menu, and Yu Anran had no idea, so she pushed it back: "Just order it."

Seeing this, Qi Pei didn't insist and just asked her: "Can you eat spicy food?"

Yu Anran shook his head: "Not really."

Qi Pei understood, called the waiter, pointed at the menu, and ordered the dishes in a few seconds.

Yu Anran glanced at it and saw that most of the dishes Qi Pei ordered were less spicy dishes.

Anan, who was tearing off the packaging of tableware on the side, suddenly asked her: "Sister Yu, are you a BJ person?"

"No, I'm from Suzhou."

"So you are from the south, no wonder you don't eat spicy food!"

Yu Anran smiled lightly: "It's not that all southerners don't like spicy food, it's just that our taste is relatively mild."

"Then how come you are from BJ?" Anan was really curious.

"Working at BJ's."

"Oh oh."

Ah Chuan, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help it anymore and asked her: "Why do you want to stay in BJ? BJ is so far away from Suzhou. Aren't you girls all home-loving?"

Yu Anran stopped tearing the packaging.

Is BJ far from Suzhou?

Of course, if it wasn't far away, there's a high probability that she wouldn't choose BJ.

Seeing Yu Anran's lip line smoothing out little by little, Ah Chuan looked at Qi Pei and silently compared his mouth shape with him: "Did I say the wrong thing?"

Qi Pei hit him on the leg with chopsticks. Ah Chuan covered the place where he was hit and looked aggrieved. He couldn't understand why he asked about Yu Anran's minefield as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Nanlan people love spicy food," Qi Pei suddenly interrupted, "the food here is more focused on taste."

Yu Anran came back to her senses and thought of Qi Pei's order just now: "Then you just ordered spicy food, don't accommodate me."

Qi Pei smiled from his nose: "I won't eat either."

Anan thought that Yu Anran thought that Qi Pei was also from Nanlan, so he kindly explained: "Brother Pei is not from Nanlan, he is also from BJ."

Worried about Yu Anran's psychological burden, she added: "Every time we go out to eat with him, the soup is watery. We can only sneak some spicy food while he is away."

Yu Anran: "That's it."

After dinner, the four soldiers divided into two groups.

Qi Pei and Ah Chuan went to buy daily necessities and food. The inn usually didn't have many guests, so they didn't consume much. But the three of them lived there after all, and the town was far away from the inn, so they could only go out to buy things once in a while.

The two little girls went shopping.

After hearing Anan talk about it, Yu Anran learned that this town was called Jiuxiao Town. It was different from the town she went to yesterday. Jiuxiao Town was further away from the B&B, was larger, and had richer resources.

Anan took Yu Anran to a clothing store on the corner. This store was very large and sold not only casual clothes but also ethnic costumes.

Anan knows the owner of this store.

"Boss, don't you have any new goods?"

"Anan, you're here. A batch just arrived yesterday. Do you want to take a look?"

"Okay, take it out and let me take a look."

The two communicated in Nanlan dialect, and Yu Anran couldn't understand it as they spoke so fast that he could only stand aside and look at the clothes hanging in the store boredly.

The lady boss saw someone standing behind Anan, and asked curiously and cautiously: "Where did you bring the girl?"

Hearing this, Anan took Yu Anran's arm and pulled her to his side, and replied with a smile: "My boss's wife, isn't she pretty?"

"Shui Ling Shui Ling, what a handsome girl."

When the landlady turned around to look for clothes, Yu Anran asked Anan: "What were you talking about just now?"

"She asked me who you were, and I said you were our boss's wife."

Yu Anran was stunned and reacted for a few seconds before speaking: "Why do you say that?"

Anan took Yu Anran and quietly walked back a few steps and lowered her voice: "This landlady is a bit xenophobic. She refused to agree to the development of tourism a few years ago. Later, she stopped because she made some money."

"Sister Yu, you are so fair and fair, and you are nothing like the people from Nanlan. I told you that you were Brother Pei's wife, so that she wouldn't have to drag me around to ask questions."

"oh."

Inexplicably, she became a married woman.

"But," Yu Anran pointed out the question, "Boss Pei doesn't look like a native of Nanlan, right?"

"It's okay. She has never met Brother Pei. She thinks my boss is a local!"

"...You are amazing."

Anan stuck out his tongue when he heard this.

"Sister Yu, do you want to try these clothes? They will look great on you." Anan pointed to the national costumes at the door.
