Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 181 Do you like me?
The hand holding the spatula paused, and Tao Qiuyi's gaze shifted away from the small fish bubbling in the pot.

I tilted my head to look at Wei Jingyuan standing next to me, and happened to see his angular profile. It was handsome, really handsome. How could a man's profile be so handsome?
Tao Qiuyi felt that this face was exactly what she felt in her heart.

Hey, hey, hey! His face... is red? He is blushing. Blinking in confusion, Tao Qiuyi was sure that she was not mistaken. Wei Jingyuan's face was indeed red.

Her gaze was too direct, and Wei Jingyuan wanted to ignore it, but he couldn't. He had been in a state of tension since he asked her if she was willing to get a marriage certificate with him.

Her face gradually heated up, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the small fish in the pot. Trying to maintain a calm voice, Wei Jingyuan warned her, "Qiu Yi, the fish is almost burnt."

"Hmm?" The fish was about to be burnt. Oh yes, the fish was being fried. Tao Qiuyi hurriedly took the small fish out of the pan and put it in a basin.

Watching her frantically trying to catch the small fish, Wei Jingyuan's heart sank. She just looked at him without saying a word, probably unwilling to get a marriage certificate with him.

This realization was like a basin of ice-cold water, which chilled Wei Jingyuan to the bone and the heat on his face quickly dissipated.

After taking the small fish out of the wok, Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan sideways, seeing that he was still standing there.

"What do you want to say?" Wei Jingyuan asked in a hoarse voice.

Tao Qiuyi glanced into the pot and saw that he looked a little off, thinking that his leg might be feeling uncomfortable again. "How about you sit down and light the fire for a while while I fry the remaining fish?"

"Will you explode?" After being together for so long, Wei Jingyuan has already seen it.

When it comes to preparing food, Tao Qiuyi can only talk about it, but he has no hands-on ability at all.

Tao Qiuyi said confidently: "Seeing you've been blowing up for so long, even a fool would understand."

Since she said so, she couldn't be allowed to fry them. Wei Jingyuan stopped talking and quickly put the small fish into the frying pan one by one.

"Hey, I said I'll fry them, you go sit and light the fire." Tao Qiuyi reached out to grab the basin of raw fish in front of Wei Jingyuan.

Gently raising his hand to block her hand, Wei Jingyuan said in a muffled voice: "No, don't get your hands dirty."

Cancan withdrew her hand and Tao Qiuyi looked at Wei Jingyuan. She didn't know why, but she felt that he was a little weird.

If she was asked to explain specifically what was strange about Wei Jingyuan, she couldn't say.

Since she was not allowed to fry the fish, she would just help light the fire. Having made up her mind, Tao Qiuyi sat on the small stool for the fire and picked up a piece of firewood next to her and put it in the stove.

Just as he was about to put the second piece of firewood in, Wei Jingyuan spoke up, "Don't put any more firewood in the stove. The fire is too strong and it will easily burn the surface of the fish while leaving the inside undercooked."

Throwing away the firewood in his hand, Tao Qiuyi sighed and said, "Ah, it seems that I really don't have the talent for cooking."

"You don't have to cook, we will cook for you." Wei Jingyuan responded smoothly.

"Okay, I don't have to cook. I'll wait for you to cook for me." Tao Qiuyi stood up and clapped his hands, looking at the small fish bubbling in the pot. "It should be cooked, right?"

Wei Jingyuan said, "No, fry it for another minute to be fully cooked."

"Wei Jingyuan." Tao Qiuyi raised an eyebrow and asked, "You served as a cook in the army, right?"

"No." Shaking his head, Wei Jingyuan whispered, "I was a scout at first, and then..."

Later, I couldn’t say anymore.

Tao Qiuyi was waiting for him to tell her what he did next, but he kept waiting. It was like being ready to listen to a story, but the storyteller stopped mid-sentence. "What happened next?" Tao Qiuyi asked directly.

Wei Jingyuan said: "What happened later is confidential and cannot be disclosed."

"Oh." Tao Qiuyi was a little disappointed, but she wasn't unreasonable. Since they said it was confidential and couldn't be disclosed, she naturally wouldn't force him to tell them.

After that, neither of them spoke, and they quickly finished frying the fish. Tao Qiuyi ate the fried fish until she was half full, mainly because she was the kind of person who liked to eat without talking.

I can't stop talking.

After frying the small fish, Wei Jingyuan began to cook fish soup. He put some cabbage in the soup and covered the pot to cook. When he was done, he saw Tao Qiuyi sitting on a small stool by the fire. Her little face was as red as an apple in the firelight.

The little mouth was shiny from eating the fried fish, and it looked very delicious. Wei Jingyuan felt his heart beat wildly a few times, and an impulse spread throughout his body.

He walked up to Tao Qiuyi and squatted down to look at her at eye level.

After swallowing the fish in his mouth, Tao Qiuyi looked at the handsome face that suddenly appeared before him. He blinked and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"Qiu Yi..." Wei Jingyuan had just called her name when he began to hesitate again. After all, she had just silently rejected him. If he brought up the past again...

He didn't want her to think he was the kind of person who would keep pestering her.

However, he was unwilling to give up when he didn't hear her clear rejection.

Tao Qiuyi found it odd to see the unpredictable expression on his face. In her mind, Wei Jingyuan was a mature and steady man, and it was unlike him to be so conflicted.

Wei Jingyuan gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Qiu Yi, do you like me?"

Tao Qiuyi was stunned when he was suddenly asked such a question.

At the same time, she also asked herself in her heart, does she like Wei Jingyuan? Does she like Wei Jingyuan? She should like him. If she doesn't like him, why does she stay and why does she do so much.

The man is good-looking and has a good personality, so of course I should keep him for myself. Thinking of this, Tao Qiuyi nodded without hesitation, "I like him!"

This time, Jing Yuan was stunned. She said... she liked him.

"What? Are you scared?" Tao Qiuyi waved his hand in front of him and said with a stern face, "Didn't you ask me if I like you? I said I do and you got scared."

"No, I'm not scared, I'm just too happy." Happiness came too quickly, Wei Jingyuan felt a little unreal, and his face and ears felt a little hot.

He mustered up his courage and placed his hand on the back of Tao Qiuyi's hand on her leg.

"Qiuyi, are you willing to go with me to get the marriage certificate? I want to live with you, forever." Wei Jingyuan asked again.

This sounded familiar. Tao Qiuyi frowned and thought for a moment, then remembered. Oh! That's right, he had asked her before if she was willing to get a marriage certificate with him.

She was staring at his profile, completely infatuated, and didn't answer. Then, because the fish in the pot were about to burn, she was busy trying to fish them out and ignored him.

"We have a marriage certificate written and stamped by the team leader himself." Tao Qiuyi knew that in this era, few people got a marriage certificate when they got married.

Most of the time, as long as the elders of both families agree and both the man and woman have no objection, they can set up a few tables for wedding banquets and live together and be considered married.

"That's just a marriage certificate, not a marriage license. A marriage certificate can't be used as a marriage license." Wei Jingyuan looked at her steadily, "Qiuyi, I want to get a marriage license with you."
