211 Farewell
His grand opening ended with a loud grumble.
Zhao Zhan’s eyes lit up and he immediately continued, “I’ll bring breakfast over. Maybe you can try everything.”
As he said that, he immediately got up and went to the kitchen. Then, he carried a large tray with several kinds of breakfast into the room. He put the breakfast on the table, went to get water, and wrung the handkerchief.
“Help me up.”
Jiaojiao felt that if she didn’t get up soon, Zhao Zhan would definitely help her with everything today.
Zhao Zhan, who had been stopped by her when he prepared to carry her, looked a little disappointed, but he still obediently got off the bed with his lover in his arms. He wrapped her in his coat and ran to get her clothes.
Seeing that he was still trying to help her put it on, Jiaojiao raised her hand to stop him. “I’ll do it myself.”
If she asked him to help her put on her clothes, she didn’t know how long the two of them would stay in bed.
Zhao Zhan reluctantly handed the clothes to her and stood at the side, looking at her with eager eyes.
Jiaojiao kept her face straight and didn’t look at his pitiful face. She put on her clothes, washed up, and sat down at the table again. After a moment, she picked up a bowl of noodles and placed it in front. Just as she picked up a piece with her chopsticks, she sighed and looked at the other person. “Have you had breakfast?”
Zhao Zhan immediately shook his head.
Jiaojiao’s heart felt as if it had been gently poked by a needle when she saw him like this. She pointed to the seat opposite her and said, “Then sit down and eat with me. ”
In the end, her heart still ached for this guy who had run as far as Yang City for her.
The corners of Zhao Zhan’s lips curled up as he sat opposite Jiaojiao with a silly smile.
“Jiaojiao,” Zhao Zhan couldn’t bear to look at her as she tried her best to keep a smile on her face. “Have you read the letter I sent?”
“Are you talking about the letter that Lizheng sent?” Jiaojiao ate a spoonful and became serious. “I did. Lizheng must have gone to the restaurant to inquire about it since he could send the letter here.”
“It’s been cold recently, and the road to Huai County is getting more difficult to travel. The waterway near Huai County has frozen, and the ships have been stuck in transit. I went to the relay station this morning and checked. Jiaojiao, are you willing to take the carriage back?”
“Will the carriage be more convenient? I’m worried about the delay.”
“No, I’ve already talked to the person in charge. We won’t enter the county city except for the normal supplies,” Zhao Zhan told her what he had inquired about. “But if we go back with Fan Tianliu’s bodyguard agency, the carriage may be a little bumpy. I’ll prepare a few thick blankets and lay them on the seats so that you’ll be more comfortable.”
Seeing that he had considered everything, Jiaojiao nodded and habitually handed everything over to him, throwing the matter to the back of her mind. “I’ll follow what you see fit.”
In any case, no matter if she took the official road or the sea, Zhao Zhan would always try his best not to cause her any inconvenience.
The day before they set off, Zhao Zhan and Zhao Zhan went to bid Doctor Sun farewell. Sun Jiyan was standing beside Doctor Sun. He nodded when he saw the two of them wave.
“Leaving so soon?” It was rare that Doctor Sun was not packing the herbs. His tone was much more serious today. “Just in time. Jiyan and I have also packed our things today. Tomorrow, we will set off with you.”
“Excuse me?” Zhao Zhan’s expression was one of surprise. “Will the Heart Hall be fine without the two of you?”
“Of course, Jiyan should have gone out to gain experience long ago. As for me, I’m getting old and want to go out and see the world before I leave, can’t I do that?”
“Don’t listen to my master.” Sun Jiyan stood at the side and smiled gently. “He has gotten used to your cooking, Zhao Zhan. He heard that you were leaving and he couldn’t bear to part with the meals. So he decided that he will come back with you and catch up with Doctor Zhou as well.”
