Chapter 1716 A Short Birthday Interlude (5)

She didn\'t want to hide it forever.

At least, not from him, whom she knew also experienced that strange experience to come into this world.

Scritch! Scritch!

Nan Hua\'s hand continued her carve. The shape was not very good, but it was enough to see that it was a dog. Even after Nan Hua tried to polish the details, the result was not very satisfactory.

In the end, she raised her head and saw Long Qian Xing who was staring in her direction. She blinked her eyes. "Brother Long."

"You\'re doing well, Hua\'er." Long Qian Xing smiled.

Even if he had questions in his mind, he didn\'t want to ask Nan Hua right now. He just wanted to enjoy the attention and care that she gave to him, such as this carving in front of them.

"I can\'t carve well." Nan Hua\'s expression showed helplessness. She turned to look at Long Qian Xing\'s carving and saw a beautiful sleeping rabbit.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes.

She had the feeling that no matter what she did, she would never be able to escape this bunny image in Long Qian Xing\'s eyes. Even though she herself felt that she was not so weak that she looked like a small rabbit, but it was indeed very cute.

Long Qian Xing smiled and raised his hand, rubbing Nan Hua\'s head tenderly. He didn\'t dare to do this action in front of others but now that they were alone, he had no qualms whatsoever.

Nan Hua\'s hair was soft and silky.

She was still taking care of herself well even when she was on the frontline.

"It\'s already very good." Long Qian Xing felt that the carving made by Nan Hua will always be good no matter how it is.

Nan Hua turned to look at Long Qian Xing, her clear eyes blinked. She saw that he was answering her seriously.

Perhaps, in his eyes, it didn\'t matter what kind of image she made. As long as it was given by her, Long Qian Xing will like it.

"Thank you," Nan Hua replied.

Long Qian Xing smiled and patted Nan Hua\'s head a bit more before reluctantly moved his hand away.

"I\'ll call Long Ai Ning to prepare for our lunch."

"I\'ll ask whether the cake is ready or not." Nan Hua remembered that she still asked Long Ai Ning to make a simple cake.

"Let\'s go together."

"Yes."

The two of them walked side by side to the kitchen, which was not very far. Even though the name was kitchen, it was actually an open area where there were several utensils along with the campfire that had wooden stands to put the pot and others.

It was very simple.

But this was how cooking was in this era.

"Young Master Long. Young Miss Jun." Long Ai Ning straightened herself when she saw the two of them coming.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and looked at Nan Si, who slipped away when the two of them were coming. Even though Nan Si was fast, Nan Hua\'s keen sense clearly detected that Nan Si was here not long ago.

He was now sitting with the other soldiers, looking very inconspicuous.

The next moment, Nan Hua turned to look at Long Ai Ning, feeling that she might have neglected her subordinate\'s emotional matters.

But she would not stop them if they wanted to leave and build their own family.

After all, they were also human beings who had emotions, ambitions, and needs. If they wanted to go, Nan Hua will allow them to go.

"Have you finished cooking for lunch?" Long Qian Xing asked, not caring about Long Ai Ning\'s sudden tenseness. He was already used to see his subordinate turning tense in front of him.

"Yes, Young Master Long! The foods are ready and they\'re still very warm." Long Ai Ning nodded her head like chicken pecking rice.

Nan Hua then asked, "Where\'s the cake?"

"It\'s also ready, Young Miss Jun. The shape might not be very good, though." Long Ai Ning was a bit nervous. When she received the recipe from Nan Hua, she tried it several times at night until her brother dragged her to sleep.

Today, she made it again and it was finally good enough. The shape was a bit bent to the side, but it was already the best that Long Ai Ning could make.

"Good." Nan Hua looked at the small cake at the side and picked it up. She actually wanted to find candles and lit it up, but in the end tossed the idea away. Finding something like that in this place was unreasonable. Not to mention, the materials to make candle itself was not very developed in this era.

It exists, but it was very crude.

Putting it on the cake like that… might contaminate the cake with some materials that was not suitable for eating instead.

So Nan Hua pushed the thought back.

"Let\'s go, Brother Long."

"Bring the food to my tent."

"Yes, Young Master Long."

Long Ai Ning maintained the stiff posture until the two of them were gone in the distance. She heaved a sigh of relief and then rushed to bring the food to Long Qian Xing\'s tent.

At this time, she only felt that her master\'s relationship with Nan Hua is really good.

Unfortunately, the other soldiers were arranged by Long Qian Xing to do many other things, so they were not able to see this scene.

Oh that\'s wrong.

There was no need for them to see through their master\'s affairs.

Knowing too much might end up backfiring them.

Long Ai Ning swiftly rushed over to deliver the food and Nan Si returned at this time, silently helping Long Ai Ning to carry the heavier ones to Long Qian Xing\'s tent.
