There was obvious excitement on her face, and she completely forgot that her current identity was Chen Qingmian.
When she saw the hint of surprise in Chi Yu's eyes, she suddenly came to her senses and started to make amends for herself.
"Umm... I mean... it would be even better if we could have real guns. After all, it's better than hand - to - hand combat. Even if we don't use them, just carrying them can have a deterrent effect on the enemy. You know... right..."
Jiang Zhirou's voice grew softer and softer, and by the end, it was almost inaudible.
Chi Yu was such a smart person. He shouldn't be fooled by her words, right?
Oh no, the revolution is not yet successful, and she's about to be exposed now.
Jiang Zhirou hung her head and carefully awaited judgment.
Chi Yu looked at her like this, the emotions in his eyes obscure.
It seemed that in an instant, the person in front of him had turned back into the girl he first met as a child.
Sunny, full of vitality, as if full of energy all the time, and there was never the word "retreat" in her eyes.
But Qingmian had changed after coming back from Mexico, as if she were a different person.
Now, she seemed to have changed back to her former bright self.
The girl who had brought a ray of sunshine into his dark life.
Chi Yu stared at her for a long time.
Jiang Zhirou kept her head down. She didn't know what Chi Yu was thinking and didn't dare to look up, but her heart was pounding anxiously.
Why isn't he saying anything?
If he had really seen through her, it would be better to just give her a quick end. What's going on now?
Does he want her to confess?
Just as Jiang Zhirou was thinking, Chi Yu's voice suddenly came from above her head.
"Baby."
Hearing this address, Jiang Zhirou looked up blankly.
Was she overthinking? Had Chi Yu not seen through her?
Before she could say a word, Chi Yu's voice continued.
"You don't need to hide yourself in front of me. Do whatever you want boldly. You can be completely yourself and do as you please without any worries."
Jiang Zhirou looked at Chi Yu's serious expression. Her eyelashes fluttered, and it took her a long time to make a sound.
"Really...?"
Her voice was very soft and low, so low that Chi Yu could hardly hear it.
He didn't know why "Qingmian" was used to hiding her inner needs, but he didn't want her to be like this. He wanted her to become the carefree girl she used to be.
Seeing her incredulous expression, Chi Yu felt a pang of heartache.
No matter what had changed her, he would find a way to let her be completely herself.
"Really."
Chi Yu nodded in Jiang Zhirou's stunned gaze.
She didn't know why Chi Yu suddenly said these things to her, but since he had said so, it was the best thing for her.
She didn't need to deliberately act like Chen Qingmian anymore. She could be completely herself and didn't need to worry about being exposed all the time.
She lifted her eyes and looked at Chi Yu seriously.
"Chi Yu, there's something I've never told you."
Since he was willing to accept the different her, she was also willing to share her thoughts with him.
"Hmm?"
Chi Yu looked at her curiously.
Jiang Zhirou said word by word, "I want to find out what happened back then and who sent me to the imperial capital."
As soon as she finished speaking, a hint of surprise clearly flashed in Chi Yu's eyes.
Then he quickly reacted and understood why she wanted to learn self - defense skills and make herself capable of self - protection.
"Okay." Chi Yu said, "I'll accompany you."
"I'll accompany you to find out what happened back then."
Chi Yu looked at her with a firm gaze.
Jiang Zhirou never thought that Chi Yu would help her. Looking at Chi Yu's serious expression, her nose twitched, and she nodded heavily, "Okay."
The two looked into each other's eyes, and different emotions welled up in their hearts.
Chi Yu's gaze fell on Jiang Zhirou's lips. His Adam's apple rolled, and he leaned forward slightly towards her.
Jiang Zhirou stood still, looking up at the man in front of her.
Just as their lips were almost about to touch, Zuo Qiutang suddenly popped up from somewhere.
"Brother Chi, Sister - in - law. When did you guys arrive? Why didn't you say a word?"
As soon as Zuo Qiutang finished speaking, Jiang Zhirou instinctively pushed Chi Yu away, her face full of embarrassment.
She pushed quite hard, and Chi Yu staggered back a few steps.
He glanced at Zuo Qiutang not far away.
Zuo Qiutang scratched the back of his head awkwardly, "I didn't see anything!"
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as he did, Jiang Zhirou felt even more embarrassed and wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.
"Train well. I won't stay here with you."
Chi Yu's voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Zhirou was taken aback and looked at Chi Yu, "Are you leaving?"
She instinctively thought that Chi Yu would stay here. Now hearing that he was leaving, she blurted out the question.
Seeing her surprised expression, Chi Yu hooked the corner of his lips into a smile, "So clingy now? I don't want to leave either, but I still have to earn money to support my baby."
Chi Yu said these words casually without caring if there were other people around.
Jiang Zhirou had heard these words so many times that she was almost used to them and didn't find anything wrong with them.
The next second, she suddenly opened her arms towards Chi Yu, "Then give me a hug before you go."
Zuo Qiutang in the distance was stunned for a moment when he heard this and sensibly turned around.
Facing her initiative, Chi Yu was rather surprised and stood still on the spot for a moment.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhirou stepped forward directly, hugged him, and wrapped her arms around Chi Yu's waist, "Remember to pick me up on time after work."
There was a hint of coquetry in her voice.
Chi Yu came to his senses, looked down at the person in his arms, lowered his head slightly, rubbed his chin gently on the top of her head, and said softly, "Okay."
A moment later.
Only Jiang Zhirou and Zuo Qiutang were left in the huge training ground.
Zuo Qiutang still maintained the position of turning his back to them and didn't dare to turn around.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhirou laughed, took two steps forward, and patted Zuo Qiutang on the shoulder, "Brother Zuo, he's already gone. Let's start now."
Only then did Zuo Qiutang dare to turn around and gave a dry laugh to Jiang Zhirou.
"Sister - in - law, your relationship with Brother Chi is really good."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou felt inexplicably happy. She looked at him with a smile and pretended to be modest, "It's okay."
"This is not just okay. It's clearly extremely good. I haven't seen a couple with a better relationship than you two around me."
Zuo Qiutang wasn't lying. Except for Chi Yu, there weren't many people in a relationship around him.
"But Sister - in - law, you've changed quite a lot compared to before."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou was taken aback, "Have I?"
Zuo Qiutang immediately nodded vigorously, "You wouldn't have been so bold as to hug Brother Chi in front of outsiders before. I think you're great like this now. Look how happy Brother Chi is."
