Chapter 211: Going through fire and water
Upon seeing this, Jiuer immediately flapped her wings and flew down, happily enjoying this unexpected delicacy, chirping while eating, as if expressing her gratitude to Xiao Zhixue.
"My benefactor loves me, unlike my master who does meaningless things and always mistreats me. If my benefactor needs me in the future, Jiuer will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Xiao Zhixue was amused by Jiuer's innocence. Her smile was like a flower blooming in spring, warm and bright.
She squatted down gently and stroked Jiuer's round little head gently with her fingers, her tone gentle but firm.
"Now you know who is truly kind to you. If you follow me in the future, I will make sure you have a full meal every day."
Jiuer's round eyes flashed with cunning light. She tilted her little head and looked at Xiao Zhixue curiously and vigilantly, as if trying to figure out her words.
"My benefactor, are you trying to turn me against your will? I, Jiuer, will never do anything that is treacherous."
There is a hint of joking in its tone, but it also reveals an insistence on loyalty.
Just as the interaction between Xiao Zhixue and Jiuer was warm and interesting, Fan Yanmu noticed this scene and a smile as bright as the sun bloomed on his face.
He hurriedly finished the rest of the meal, stood up and walked out of the cafeteria, interrupting Xiao Zhixue and Jiuer's playfulness, and gently reminded them: "It's time to leave."
His voice was gentle, yet it carried a force that could not be denied.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhixue stood up, gently brushed the dust off her clothes, and prepared to leave with Fan Yanmu.
There was a determination in her movements, as if she was bidding farewell to the past and embarking on a new journey.
Seeing this, Fang Weiyi quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks. Although he was reluctant, he followed him out of the house, trying to seize the last chance.
"Miss Xiao, where are you going? Can you give me a ride?"
There was a barely perceptible hint of anticipation in his voice.
Fan Yanmu's mood, which was originally bright due to his trip with Xiao Zhixue, was instantly shrouded in a gloomy mood by Fang Weiyi's question.
His face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes swept across Fang Weiyi sharply, thinking secretly in his heart: He and Xiao Zhixue were going to the military camp, and on the way they could deepen their understanding of each other and cultivate that indescribable feeling.
Fang Weiyi's request at this moment undoubtedly broke his inner peace. He didn't understand why Fang Weiyi always appeared at inappropriate times and was so unromantic?
Xiao Zhixue was also surprised by Fang Weiyi's request. She waved her hand gently, with a polite but firm refusal in her tone.
"No need. Fan Yanmu and I have important matters to attend to. It's better for you to stay in the old house."
Her words were concise and clear, leaving no room for ambiguity.
When Fang Weiyi heard these words, he felt disappointed and his expression was beyond words.
Fan Yanmu swept away the previous gloom and naturally took Xiao Zhixue's hand in front of Fang Weiyi, his action full of protection and tenderness.
"The ground is slippery, watch your step."
His concern is so meticulous that it is impossible to ignore.
Xiao Zhixue was not surprised by this, as she had long seen through the subtle emotional entanglement between the two.
She did not break free from Fan Yanmu's hand, but let him lead her, knowing in her heart that such an action was both a rejection of Wei Yi and a clear statement of her emotional stance.
After all, Fang Weiyi once said that he wanted to marry her, and she had no intention of giving him any hope.
Now is the best time for Fang Weiyi to give up, and at the same time, it will also reduce unnecessary troubles for himself.
Ying Er wanted to go along, but was rejected by Fan Yanmu in a tactful way.
"You don't have to. Let Yingyi come over."
Fan Yanmu's words carried an irrefutable authority.
Yingyi received the order and took action immediately. He strode to Fan Yanmu's side, ready to carry out a new mission.
"Go and prepare the carriage, and we will set off for the military camp immediately."
Yingyi took the order, turned around and left with quick movements.
Ying Er felt quite aggrieved. He felt that he was always left out by Fan Yanmu intentionally or unintentionally, and was never allowed to participate in important matters.
He sat back in his chair indignantly. The delicious food in front of him had lost its former appeal, leaving only a feeling of resentment and loss.
Soon, the three of them quickly packed their luggage and left the old house.
After boarding the carriage that had been prepared long ago, Yingyi drove quickly towards the military camp.
In the car, Fan Yanmu and Xiao Zhixue sat opposite each other. His eyes were always fixed on Xiao Zhixue's face. It was an affectionate and focused gaze that made Xiao Zhixue feel sweet and a little embarrassed.
"Why are you staring at me like that? Is there rice stuck on my face?"
As Xiao Zhixue spoke, she reached out and touched her cheek, with a hint of shyness and playfulness in her movements.
Fan Yanmu chuckled, his voice full of fondness and understanding: "I didn't realize you were quite interested in teasing birds."
There was a deep meaning in his words, and he had obviously seen through the little episode between Xiao Zhixue and Jiuer.
When Xiao Zhixue heard this, she immediately understood what Fan Yanmu meant. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
With him by my side during this unknown journey, everything seems to be less difficult.
The tiny and exquisite little tit was carefully raised and brought by Fang Weiyi. It had feathers that were as shiny as dewdrops in the early summer morning light, sparkling with a warm blue-green color.
This little bird has a unique name - Jiuer. Whenever it jumps lightly and makes a clear and melodious chirping sound, it always attracts the attention of people around it.
Looking at its lively appearance, I felt that it not only possessed the agile beauty bestowed by nature, but also carried a breath of cleverness. Therefore, I couldn't help but stop for a while and enjoy this rare tranquility and harmony.
This is not something special for me. After all, being able to listen to the language of all things is a unique ability I have gained through years of practice.
The conversation with Jiuer is like a light dance in the soul, and every syllable of it contains the love and curiosity for life.
As for other animals, perhaps they also have their own stories and emotions, but I seldom have the leisure to savor them carefully. After all, communication between humans and animals requires not only ability, but also patience and resonance.
Fan Yanmu's gaze was like the deep night sky, fixed on Xiao Zhixue, and there seemed to be thousands of words hidden in those eyes.
The smile on his face gradually faded, becoming deep and focused, as if he was weighing something important.
"What do you think of Fang Weiyi?"
His voice was deep and powerful, and every word seemed to be carefully considered.
Xiao Zhixue did not hesitate for a moment and answered directly: "This person thinks highly of himself and has a difficult personality to get close to. I don't have a good impression of him."
Her tone revealed a calm and objective judgment, as if she had already analyzed Fang Weiyi's character clearly.
