Jiang Zheng nodded, took the thermos, and went out to get hot water.

A dozen minutes later.

Lu Jingnian drove Jiang Yue and Yao Hua back to the Jiang family home.

Before Jiang Yue got out of the car, Lu Jingnian reached out and touched her head, saying softly, "You go home first. I have some things to do tonight, so I'll be back later."

Seeing that Yao Hua had already gotten out of the car, Jiang Yue quickly kissed Lu Jingnian on the cheek and asked:

"Going to do what?"

"It's about work." Lu Jingnian didn't say much, and Jiang Yue knew he couldn't say, so she wisely didn't ask any more questions.

"Then be careful."

After saying that, Jiang Yue kissed him again before getting out of the car.

Lu Jingnian touched the spot on his face where Jiang Yue had kissed him, smiled, and drove away.

Back home, Jiang Yue told Yao Hua to go to sleep first.

Throughout the journey, she didn't ask Yao Hua how she planned to handle Commissar Yu's matter, nor did she ask Yao Hua if she wanted to forgive Commissar Yu.

Jiang Yue felt that matters of the heart should be left to Yao Hua to resolve herself.

She believed Yao Hua would handle it herself.

Jiang Yue went to the kitchen to get some water, and just as she was about to return to her room, the phone rang.

Who would call so late?

Jiang Yue walked over and answered the phone.

"Hello?"

Is it Yueyue?

It was Luo Xiao's voice.

Jiang Yue was even more puzzled, and politely asked, "Teacher Luo, it's so late, what can I do for you?"

"I'm sorry," Luo Xiao's voice sounded apologetic on the other end of the phone. "It's like this, I promised a few classmates after school today that I'd treat them to snacks before class tomorrow..."
