Shi Yi pouted, shrugged his shoulders, and left. Only Hua Tianyou's gentle gaze remained on Zhao Ling'er.
Hua Tianyou's feelings were already written on his face, but Zhao Ling'er seemed unaware, still treating him like the neighborhood brother who often played at her house.
Ever since Zhao Ling'er had come to help at the chicken and duck farm, Hua Tianyou frequently seized the opportunity during the new soldiers' training breaks to run over to the farm.
Sometimes, he would come two or three times a day.
Each time he came, he would always bring some trinkets, perhaps a bunch of wildflowers, a bag of snacks, or even just a few wild fruits picked on the way.
When Zhao Ling'er asked him, he'd always smile and say, "Just passing by, so thought I'd come to see you."
Hua Tianyou's gaze was always following Zhao Ling'er's figure, watching her busy with accounts or helping Ms. Li in registering new staff members.
