Chapter 101: Resplendent Times

Where was Song Qinglan taking Ji Yushi?

Originally, since Ji Yushi was asleep the entire time, Song Qinglan had decided to take him directly home and then make him something to eat when he wakes up, but now that he had woken up on their way back, Song Qinglan changed his mind.

“Take you to eat.” Song Qinglan said, “What do you want to eat?”
Ji Yushi was so hungry, he felt like his chest was about to stick to his back. In fact, he was woken up from hunger. After thinking about it, he suggested, “I want to eat hot pot.”
Song Qinglan, “Hot pot?”
Ji Yushi, “Yes, the kind that is very spicy.”

Song Qinglan was very familiar with Jiang City so this request would most certainly not stump him. The two had been together for so long during the break last time, he had already figured out Ji Yushi’s preferences—-The way they progressed their relationship was completely opposite to that of ordinary couples. Usually, couples would start with gradually understanding each other’s preferences before becoming attracted and getting together and naturally wouldn’t have any issues with preferences clashing. As for them, they had become a couple first before they knew more about each other’s preferences and daily habits.

Ji Yushi liked spicy food and he also liked sweet food. Unlike his cold and calm appearance, he preferred strong tastes.
Song Qinglan on the other hand wasn’t picky. He not only liked to eat, but he also liked to cook. The two unexpectedly got along very well.

At an intersection, Song Qinglan turned the steering wheel and turned into a hot pot restaurant that was open late into the night. There, they found a quiet private room.
Ji Yushi’s appetite had never been better. He focused on eating, eating until his eyes were red and nose was covered in a layer of sweat. He even drank a bottle of ice-cold beer.

Someone came to greet Song Qinglan in the private room. The owner of the store turned out to be another one of Song Qinglan’s comrade-in-arms.
The three exchanged a few words. The friend wasn’t at all curious about Ji Yushi’s identity. Ji Yushi immediately thought of Xue Zhao who he had met at the skydiving club last time.
It was likely that everyone already knew about Song Qinglan coming out and having a boyfriend.

After that friend left, Ji Yushi asked, “A lot of your comrades have changed careers.”

Song Qinglan ordered a drink, helped Ji Yushi open the bottle and then gave it to him to help eliminate the spiciness in his mouth, “Very few changed careers. Most of them had to retire due to old injuries. Old Zhou and I were comparatively lucky and to them, we can be regarded as having changed careers. Guardians and soldiers are two different things.”

Ji Yushi’s lips were red from the spiciness. His eyes were shiny like they were washed by water, “If you didn’t become a Guardian, what would you have done?”
Song Qinglan thought about it for a while, “There probably wouldn’t be that possibility.”
Ji Yushi: “Why?”
Song Qinglan, “If I didn’t become a Guardian, how could I meet you again?”

That made sense.
If Song Qinglan didn’t become a Guardian, Ji Yushi would always just be that ‘Han Han’ in his memories.

Ji Yushi took a few gulps of his drink and then noticed that Song Qinglan was still looking at him, “What’s wrong?”

Song Qinglan’s eyes were deeper than usual.
After experiencing that separation, his thoughts had changed a lot.

For him, sitting here at this moment in a down-to-earth hot pot restaurant and eating with a living Ji Yushi was already a luxury.

Time had changed this world, and it had also gifted a lot of things to his world.
No matter what the cause and effect was, no matter how one circle connected to another circle, it was enough as long as they were still together.
