Lu Cheng didn't know how to remind her, nor did he want to know who her partner was, so he simply kept quiet.

The two of them waited in silence for the water in the pot to boil.

Meng Si Ning didn't understand why this man seemed angry in just a moment.

The silence was not broken until the two of them came out with lunch boxes.

On the other side, the uninterested Gu Jingshen walked dejectedly to the door of the party hall and ran into Xia Qiu who came out to look for his family.

Seeing him, he said happily: "Comrade Gu, what a coincidence, I just happen to have a gift for you."

Xia Qiu smiled brightly, and for a moment Gu Jingshen thought he saw the smile he saw when he was with Meng Si Ning abroad. That smile was very similar to hers.

Xia Qiu took out a delicate little dagger and put it in his hand. "My brother brought this back to me from southern Xinjiang on my birthday. I'm giving it to you now. Thank you for saving me today. I don't know your full name yet. My name is Xia Qiu, Xia for summer, Qiu for hills."

Xia Qiu's action of delivering something to Gu Jingshen was just seen by several leaders who came out.

Among them were Xia Guoxing and Gu Rongchang, as well as several leaders of Jiang Guangtaorong District.

One of the leaders who loved to joke said, "Xia Furong, good things are about to happen to your family. Gu Jingshen is young and promising, a good seedling, and your Qiuqiu has good vision."

After saying that, he looked at Gu Rongchang again. Yesterday, they accidentally overheard the conversation between Gu Rongchang and Gu Jingshen, and only then did they know that Gu Jingshen was Gu Rongchang's son who had been lost for many years.

Recognition of relatives is inevitable.

It’s just that Commander Gu and Commander Xia don’t get along well.

You can tell by looking at Captain Gu Rong’s expression at this moment.

Xia Guoxing's face wasn't looking too good either. He didn't want his precious daughter to have any contact with the messy Gu family.

But today this guy saved his daughter.

Deputy Minister Zhang, who was not bothered by the big things, smiled cheerfully: "This is great news, Gu boy, come here quickly. Today I will match you with Qiuqiu."

Xia Qiu already had a good impression of Gu Jingshen, and now her uncle wanted to matchmake them for each other, and the little girl's blush instantly appeared on her face.

Gu Jingshen moved his mouth and was about to refuse.

But Gu Rongchang spoke first, "Old Zhang, don't get involved here. We don't know what these young people are thinking."

"Thank you, Deputy Minister Zhang."

As soon as Gu Rongchang finished speaking, Gu Jingshen responded. He turned to look at Xia Qiu and said, "Comrade Xia, are you willing to date me?"

Xia Guoxing was about to cough lightly to remind his daughter, but he saw his daughter shyly responding, "Yes."

Suddenly, the two adults looked embarrassed.

Deputy Minister Zhang, who never thought that trouble was too big, was at odds with the two people. This was exactly the result he wanted to see. He laughed and said, "Qiuqiu, Jingshen is not familiar with us. You can take him around our district and introduce each other to each other and cultivate feelings."

"Yeah." Xia Qiu responded with a smile and said to Xia Guoxing, "Dad, talk to my brother. I'll be home soon."

After saying that, he took Gu Jingshen away.

Before leaving, Gu Jingshen gave Gu Rongchang a cold look.

Jiang Guangtao asked, "Commander Gu, it seems that guy has some complaints against you. Will he return with the main force this time?"

Gu Rong sighed and said, "Alas, he owes too much, he is not willing to come back, so I asked the old man to come."

The Gu family's affairs were already complicated, and now with the appearance of a son, things have become even more complicated.

On Xia Qiu's side, happiness came too suddenly. The two of them walked for a while, just laughing and didn't know what to say.

Gu Jingshen was mainly angry at the man just now and acted impulsively.

I wanted to refuse and thought about it for a long time. Just as I was about to speak, I looked up and saw the figure coming out of the cafeteria.

The darkness in his eyes grew even darker, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth turned into a question: "Do you know reporter Meng?"

"Well, we are neighbors and friends."

"It's the neighbor. Is she dating?"

"Date?" Xia Qiu wasn't sure, but she had heard her mother say she was going to find a date for her. Did she get one while she was away? "Yeah... I have one, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." Gu Jingshen finally looked up and met Xia Qiu's gaze. "Comrade Xia, my name is Gu Jingshen. I'm from the countryside. I'm 22 years old this year. I get a monthly allowance of 42 yuan. I'm currently a battalion-level cadre. If you think I'm qualified, we can try to get along."

Xia Qiu was now completely mesmerized by Gu Jingshen's handsomeness. She thought he was perfect in every way and nodded in response, "I'm eighteen years old and have just joined the cultural troupe as a soloist."

"I know, you have a beautiful singing voice."

Xia Qiu smiled at the compliment.

Gu Jingshen was stunned for a moment when he saw her smile.

Xia Qiu had always known that she had a pretty face, and now that he was looking at her like this, she felt even more embarrassed.

The place where the two were standing was not very secret, so Meng Si Ning naturally saw it.

She was secretly surprised. In the time it took her to cook, they were already together?

What the hell happened? Wasn't this too fast?

Doesn't Gu Jingshen like her? How did he agree?

Lu Cheng naturally saw Gu Jingshen chatting with a female comrade in the distance.

I guess the leaders are starting to act as matchmakers again.

Looking at Meng Si Ning again, he didn't react at all, but he still felt depressed.

The girl he liked was taken away by someone else.

When the two arrived at the infirmary, reporter Zhang had already woken up from a daze. Yan Dong and their assistant were also there, holding two portions of pastries in their hands, and were being scolded by the nurse for not knowing how to take care of people.

Seeing Meng Si Ning coming over with porridge, his complexion improved a little and he told her to give it to the patient quickly.

Yan Dong scratched his head helplessly: "We are not familiar with this place. We can't get hot meals at this time."

Reporter Zhang said, "Why are you blaming yourself? I don't even take this little illness seriously. Brother Lu, why are you here too?"

"If my friend knew he was on the same team as me and his wife was sick and no one was taking care of her, he would definitely pick a fight with us. Who would be able to withstand his punches?"

"Humph, you'll be afraid of his fist."

Zhang Ting smiled, turned around and pulled Meng Si Ning, saying, "Reporter Meng, thank you so much today."

"You're welcome. Comrade Lu and I made some porridge for you. Have some first. The nurse said you can't eat greasy food right now."

"Are you with Brother Lu?"

Reporter Zhang's eyes wandered between Meng Si Ning and Lu Cheng, but neither of them responded.

It was already past nine o'clock when Meng Si Ning returned home.

Although it was only a few minutes' walk to the family compound, Lu Cheng still considerately sent him to the gate.

"Comrade Lu, are you going back early tomorrow morning?"

"Um."

"I'll mail the photos to you after they're developed. Also," Meng Si Ning said, lifting the rabbit cage in his hand: "Thank you for the rabbit cage."

Lu Cheng nodded without asking any questions.

I just stood at the gate, silently watching her disappear from my sight.

Finally, he turned around and sighed softly, as if saying goodbye to his lost joy.
