Chapter Forty-Eight: Entrust It All
A touch of unnatural embarrassment flashed on Li Chuxia's face and then smiled, but she didn't expect that the two of them would speak again, and she also looked a little weird at this time.
The two froze at the door of the Treasure Pavilion, neither of them spoke first, and even the passers-by couldn't help but look at them when they looked very embarrassed.
"Jing Ran, are we still good friends?" Li Chuxia still couldn't hold back and asked.
Wei Jingran nodded very mechanically, and after his gaze crossed her face, he slowly retracted.
Although he was a little disappointed, Li Chuxia was able to understand why Wei Jingran was doing this to himself, even if others were unwilling to be friends with him, it was normal for these ancient people to be a little feudal in their thinking, and now he was thinking crankily in his heart, and it was normal for him to easily have thoughts about people who were more novel in their behavior.
Now that it's in this state, it will be awkward for the two of them to get along, so it's better to leave it like this.
Li Chuxia defined this friendship with Wei Jingran in his mind, I am afraid that even if he asks so, the other party nods, and the two of them will end up unhappy.
Originally, I thought that the tactic of not moving the enemy and not moving me could alleviate the embarrassment between the two people, but I didn't expect that this tactical method was only suitable for the few seconds when we first met.
"Then you go in and buy something, I'll go back to the restaurant first." Li Chuxia thought that he couldn't block the door, and he always delayed other people's time, so he was thinking of giving way.
Before Wei Jingran could speak, the person in front of him had already passed by him and walked in another direction.
Seeing her go farther and farther, Wei Jingran wanted to catch up with her only then did he realize it.
"Early summer! Early summer, you wait for me. β
Li Chuxia heard the familiar voice of the person behind him, and turned his head suspiciously to see what he was about to say.
"In early summer, we're still good friends." Wei Jingran's first sentence after catching up was this, because after struggling for so many days, he also understood that even if it was impossible for two people, the feelings after getting along for the past two years could not be wiped out casually.
"You...... Don't mind? β
Li Chuxia was happy in his heart, he would take the initiative to talk to him, but from his eyebrows, he always felt that he still had some dodge meaning towards himself.
Wei Jingran saw her looking at herself, and looked at her directly with her heart and said, "Well, let's go get drunk in the spring breeze, I brought food for the two children." β
Nodding, Li Chuxia took Wei Jingran's 'hitchhiker' back to the drunken spring breeze.
When getting off the carriage, Wei Jingran returned to his original appearance, and would lead Li Chuxia to get out of the carriage and cautiously let her get off safely.
From now on, the restaurant has returned to the general harmony of the past, and naturally the happiest are the two children Li Chuyun and Li Chuli, who have delicious food again.
As the days passed, Li Chuxia missed more and more Baili Yunzheng on the battlefield, and in the past few years, even the two children around him have grown up a lot.
Li Chuyun, who has learned to settle accounts since he was a child, is now able to collect money and settle accounts by himself because he often keeps accounts, and the little fat man in the school is not as naughty as he was at the beginning, and he also knows how to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics or poetry and famous sayings.
"It's almost time to leave...... Li Chuxia looked at the letter sent back by the recent flying pigeon book, Baili Yunzheng said in the letter that it may be officially over soon, and hoped that she would wait for him to go back.
Now that everything in the restaurant is arranged, there is no need to worry about it anymore, and the days are gradually on the right track.
"Chu Yun, if you want to run a restaurant, the owner of the restaurant must be the most sleek and sophisticated, and when you encounter that kind of helplessness, you must use strong means to let him see that you are not easy to bully.
Li Chuxia spoke earnestly, looking at the little girl standing in front of the counter, now she is only half a head away from being as tall as herself, although she is a few years old, but she has already matured, much more mature than ordinary children.
In the past few years in the restaurant, Li Chuyun has gradually changed, and he has also witnessed it, it is not easy for a teenage girl to be able to do this now, and even if she can be in charge now, she will be relieved if she hands over the restaurant to her.
"Sister, I understand all these truths." Li Chuyun looked at the sister in front of her seriously and nodded, on weekdays, she was settling accounts in front of the counter, she had already seen all kinds of people, and she had also learned her own way of doing things.
"It's good if you understand, if you don't understand anything, just ask Shopkeeper Zhao or Shopkeeper Shen in your Jingran brother's restaurant."
Li Chuxia has always been very relieved of the little girl, even if he is usually a little naΓ―ve, but he is never sloppy in the face of big things, and he also knows that this little girl can pick up the burden of the restaurant.
"Sister...... What do you mean? β
Li Chuyun inexplicably felt a little wrong in his heart, and Sister Ah seemed to be explaining something when she said this.
"It's fine."
Shaking his head with a smile, and patting the little girl's shoulder with his hand, Li Chuxia turned around and left the drunken spring breeze and walked towards Wei Jingran.
Walking into the first store, many shopkeepers greeted her, after all, everyone also knew the relationship between Li Chuxia and Wei Jingran, so the shopkeeper Shen who was standing in front of the counter greeted her directly, leading Li Chuxia towards the attic on the second floor.
After waiting for Li Chuxia to come to the attic, he looked at the door that was not closed, so he gently pushed the door and walked in.
Wei Jingran was sitting inside to settle accounts, when he heard a slight noise at the door, turned his head and found that it was Li Chuxia who came, so he smiled at her.
"Why are you here?"
Wei Jingran looked at the girl in front of him with burning eyes, even though the relationship between the two people had returned to the way it was at the beginning, his state of mind still couldn't be changed.
Li Chuxia sat beside Wei Jingran with a somewhat solemn face, and after pouring a cup of tea with a teapot, he took a sip.
"I'm here to tell you something important." Li Chuxia's gaze did not leave Wei Jingran's face.
"What's the matter?" Seeing her look so serious, Wei Jingran couldn't help but restrain the casualness on his face.
Li Chuxia rubbed his fingers on the cup in his hand and said seriously: "I came this time, although I want to tell you that I am ready to leave for the capital. β
"Why do you suddenly want to go to the capital? How long is it going to go? β
Wei Jingran was obviously a little surprised, but he didn't think that Li Chuxia would suddenly bring up the matter of going to the capital.
"Because I have agreed with Baili Yunzheng, when he returns after the war, I will go to the capital to wait for him, this time I may never come back, and I may occasionally come back to see."
Li Chuxia thought about how long to go, after all, if he went to the capital to settle down, he might rarely come back, or he might not come back.
"That'...... What about the drunken spring breeze and the first clouds? Wei Jingran's face was a little unnatural, but he quickly calmed down, he didn't expect her to leave so soon, and guessed her plan in his heart.
Li Chuxia thought many times in his heart, the only suitable person who can take care of Zui Chunfeng, and also take care of his three family members, is Wei Jingran.
"So that's what I'm here for." Li Chuxia paused between speaking, his eyes fell on his face, and he continued to speak: "I hope you can help me take care of Chuyun's family, as well as the business of Drunken Spring Breeze." β
"There is actually no difficulty in running this restaurant, at present, most of my dishes are handed over to the chefs in the back, and the dishes they make are no different from those I make, the only thing I am worried about is Chuyun them, with you taking care of them, then I can rest assured."
Wei Jingran tightened his fingers for a while, not knowing what to say at this time.
"You don't have to worry about the dishes to be made in these two restaurants, I will go to the capital when the time comes, and every month I will bring back the latest dishes I can make."
Li Chuxia saw that he didn't mean to agree, probably because she thought that the two restaurants would have a problem with the dishes in the future, so she said this, and she believed very much in her heart that Wei Jingran was willing to help her.
Although she took advantage of Wei Jingran's friendship with her, she now has no choice but to entrust everything to him.
"Early Summer...... Do you really want to go? Wei Jingran looked at her with a little expectation in his eyes, but the next moment he understood that it was too stupid for him to ask like this.
"Yes." Li Chuxia nodded seriously and lowered his eyes.
She has been waiting for Baili Yunzheng to return from the battlefield for so many years, and now that the deadline is finally coming, her years of hard work have finally come to fruition, and she will not give up.
Wei Jingran saw her so determined, even if she wanted to say something, it only turned into one word in the end, "Okay." β
After glancing at the person in front of him very gratefully, Li Chuxia really didn't hold back and walked over and hugged Wei Jingran.
Now that Wei Jingran has helped him take care of the drunken spring breeze and everything here, Li Chuxia can finally let go of it in his heart, and when the time comes, he will be able to go to the capital with peace of mind.
Wei Jingran was a little caught off guard by this sudden hug, but the emotions in his heart slowly flattened.
After returning to the drunken spring breeze, that night, Li Chuxia was going to tell everyone about his trip to the capital.
