    Summary

    Xie Zheng was reading documents when Fan Chang Ning burst into the room like a small, violent storm.

    “Jiefu! I figured out romance,” she announced.

    He blinked and immediately rolled up whatever he was reading like a guilty official hiding corruption evidence. “You figured what out?”

    “You’re doing it wrong,” she said, climbing into the chair across from him and kneeling on it like a general planning a war. “You can’t just stand there and look at my sister like a sad ghost.”

    “I am not a sad ghost.”

    She ignored that. “Do you like my sister?” she asked bluntly.

    Xie Zheng felt like someone had just shoved an entire pig leg down his throat.

    “I… I…” he scrambled for an answer, suddenly finding the table extremely interesting.

    His silence was answered by Chang Ning’s slow, smug grin—the kind only small children and very dangerous politicians possess.

    “I have a plan,” she announced.

    *In which Chang Ning was the genius behind the signature Tangerine peel kiss (and other crazy romance manoeuvres thereafter).

    Summary

    "How do you know it was your brother-in-law who grilled it?"
    "Before you found me, Sister, Brother-in-Law would grill fish for me. I tasted just like this."

    Changning says that her Jie-fu roasted fish for her during the time they were at camp. What really went through before Fan Changyu came to the camp? How did the soldiers react to the absolute adorableness of Ningning? How did Ningning feel about everything?

    Summary

    “Jiefu, can you teach me?”

    The question came out of the blue, clear and earnest, as though Changning had been holding it in for days and could no longer keep it to herself.

    Xie Zheng did not look up immediately – the tip of his brush hovered above the paper, suspended in surprise he could barely conceal, before he completed the final stroke with deliberate precision.

    Only then did he set the brush aside and lift his gaze.

    Changning sat beside him at the low table, her expression calm, that was undermined by the way she kept shifting in her seat. Ink smudged the tip of her nose – when she had acquired it, he had absolutely no idea – and her eyes shone with unmistakable anticipation.

    “Teach you?” he echoed, voice sounding strange even to his own ears.

    “Yes,” she said, nodding vigorously. “I want to write like you. Your words look so beautiful.”

    Xie Zheng regarded her for a moment, his expression unreadable.
