Chapter 90: Ruan Huai, Are You Willing to Wait for the King to Come Back?

ยท

The expedition is imminent, and there are many important matters to be dealt with in time, until dusk and dusk, Gu Yutang has not been able to be idle.

It was at this time that Songquan came in, saying that someone wanted to see him.

Gu Yutang was about to refuse to come without thinking about it, but Songquan quickly told him strangely that the person who came was Ruan Huai.

Gu Yutang stopped the complicated government affairs and asked Songquan to bring people in.

Songquan was willing to pick up people, but as soon as he took a step, Gu Yutang didn't know what he thought, so he stopped him again and said, "Forget it, this king will go by himself." โ€

Ruan Huai may have come to the barracks directly to find him after school, and when he went out to pick up people, he saw that Ruan Huai was still wearing the white and clean student uniform, carrying a bookbag, and carrying a food box in his hand. Quietly standing under the white tree of the sentry tower, waiting for people.

Ruan Huai probably liked the scarf he gave her very much, as if she wished to wear it all the time, at this moment she lowered her head, her lips were soft against the fine velvet of the scarf, her little face was milky white and translucent, and the scarf around her neck was so red, and the color was clear and beautiful.

Gu Yutang suppressed the rolling Adam's apple, walked up to her, and called her.

Ruan Huai heard the voice, raised his head, and looked at him softly.

Gu Yutang helped her carry the bookbag, and originally wanted to take the food box in her hand, but Ruan Huaidang had some treasure in the food box in her hand, so she had to carry it herself.

Gu Yutang had no choice but to follow her and take her back to the camp.

Ruan Huai didn't quarrel with him, and after returning to the camp, he found the place where the table was placed, opened the food box, and took out the hot and fragrant meals one by one.

Then he looked up and asked Gu Yutang: "Do you want to eat something with me?" โ€

Gu Yutang knew that Ruan Huai had come over to bring him food, so he was embarrassed to say it directly, so he made an excuse and said that he wanted him to accompany her to eat. But he didn't say anything, just looked at Ruan Huai and said okay.

Ruan Huai really didn't eat much, so after eating a little, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, held the can of hot milk tea, and drank it slowly. But after drinking for a while, Ruan Huai felt that there was nothing to do, and his hand couldn't help but touch Gu Yutang's right hand resting on the table, which was easily held by Gu Yutang, rubbing her thin white fingertips, telling her not to move.

Ruan Huai was held by him, looked at him, and then became honest.

After eating, Gu Yutang told Ruan Huai about the expedition, and told Ruan Huai very directly that he should not be able to come back before the year.

After hearing this, Ruan Huai swallowed the last mouthful of milk very slowly, put the small porcelain jar back on the table, pursed his lips, and asked softly: "Isn't it very far from Kyoto?" โ€

"Well, at the border."

Outside the tent, it was cold and windy, but there was a fire lit inside the tent, and the light was relatively restrained and bright, which did not make people feel cold.

Ruan Huai looked at him across half of the table, didn't speak, lowered his head and gently scratched the back of his hand with the fingers of his other hand, thinking about things absentmindedly.

Gu Yutang saw Ruan Huai bowing his head and clutching his eyelashes, obviously lost.

So, he asked a question that he thought was redundant, "Ruan Huai, are you willing to wait for this king to come back?" โ€

Ruan Huai tugged at his slightly calloused fingertips insecurely, nodded sullenly, and vaguely responded yes.

Although it was an expected answer, when Gu Yutang heard this "willing", the contours of his cold face softened a little.
