Although there was no one around right now, someone might pass by.
Gu Yan looked around until her eyes landed upon the sweet potato, which Lu Ye was holding onto but completely ignored.
She said, “Are you planning to let me eat an iced baked sweet potato?”
It was negative ten degrees below zero currently. If they were not gonna eat the food, it might end up cold, if not frosted.
Lu Ye let go reluctantly. Some kind of aroma had latched onto his fingertips. He suppressed the dejection and remarked, “This sweet potato is cooked averagely. It’s not crispy on the outside nor tender on the inside. Your roasted potato was infinitely better.”
Gu Yan felt speechless.
Everyone knew sweet potatoes were bound to be sweeter than regular potatoes, but he was claiming it was not as good as potatoes.
She could not help but laugh. “You haven’t eaten it yet. How do you know it’s not as good as the potato?”
“Because you’re not the one who roasted it.”
“… Captain Lu, have you always known how to please girls like this?”
Lu Ye sighed. “I have saved this up for more than twenty years. Now, I have finally found a use for it.”
Gu Yan felt pleased as her eyes twinkled.
She ate the sweet potato, but as it turned out, the latter portion of the food remained warm. Lu Ye already broke off the part which grew cold and ate it himself.
Gu Yan became worried for his stomach. The section he bit was bordering on freezing.
Yet, Captain Lu exhibited a stern expression. “Comrade Gu Yan, don’t always doubt the body of your boyfriend, alright?”
Gu Yan couldn’t answer it either. The conversation might go off the rails.
The sweet potato wasn’t particularly sizeable. The two of them were able to finish it quickly.
Both the insides of their mouths and their hearts contained copious amounts of sweetness, warming the two people.
Gu Yan saw a piece of something black on Lu Ye’s hand. It probably came from the peeling of the sweet potato. She took out her handkerchief to wipe it for Lu Ye.
Captain Lu wasn’t going to reject the goodwill of course.
He waited for his wife to finish cleaning his right hand. Thereafter, he reached out his left handing before adding, “This hand is a bit dirty too.”
Lu Ye behaved like a big child now.
When Gu Yan wiped both of his hands, he opened his arms and embraced Gu Yan, making her lean on him.
“Yan, are you a bit cold?”
“… I’m not cold,” Gu Yan replied. He wanted to hug her, but he still had to find a proper reason. A smile crossed her face. “The coat you bought is quite cozy.”
Lu Ye didn’t give up. “But I’m cold.”
As he said the words, he inched closer, and the two of them ended up huddled together. Lu Ye placed his hand on Gu Yan’s shoulder.
The cold breeze continued to blow around them. Like some kind of sorcery, however, it was much warmer when they pressed against each other.
Gu Yan seemed amused. “You were not letting me doubt your body alone. Now, you’re scared of the cold too? Oh, who was the one who said he had plenty of energy?”
Captain Lu defended, “Sometimes, a kind lie can improve the relationship.”
Gu Yan couldn’t resist laughing out once more. Her shoulders were even shaking. “Captain Lu… I’ve realized I like it when you joke about such a serious thing to say.”
Captain Lu’s ears became flushed from this. He suddenly wanted to say something from his heart.
‘We can tease about something more serious then…’
