"Xiaoyu?"

When Song Shijie saw his sister eating there, he came over to greet her.

Song Miaoyu smiled when she saw her brother and asked, "Did you come by yourself, brother?"

Song Shijie nodded. Lately, the company cafeteria has been serving bitter food, which is unbearable for his colleagues. They either make excuses to go home or sneak out to eat.

"Hello, Brother Shijie."

Lu Wanwan greeted her familiarly.

Song Shijie smiled back, and when his gaze met Gu Mingyue's, his heart skipped a beat.

The girl's fair face shone brightly in the sunlight, like an elf descended to earth, drawing everyone's gaze.

Song Shijie felt he had fallen in love at first sight. He felt his chest pounding wildly and stood there stunned.

Song Miaoyu's eyes flickered, "Brother, have you eaten yet?"

Song Shijie snapped out of his daze: "No."

His ears burned, and he dared not look at Gu Mingyue's position again.

Gu Mingyue blinked. This person was so strange. Why was he staring at her? Could it be that he was in such a hurry to leave that he had something dirty on his face?

I need to find a mirror to look at myself later.

Lu Wanwan, who was usually oblivious, noticed something was wrong. Could it be that Song Shijie was trying to poach her boyfriend?

Lu Wanwan felt that she had discovered a blind spot.

Song Shijie thought his sister would invite him to stay for dinner, but to his surprise, she said without hesitation, "Then I won't bother you any longer."

Song Shijie was about to sit down when he paused and silently withdrew his foot.

Song Miaoyu didn't think too much about it. Her brother still had to go back to work, and he was always punctual. She didn't want him to be late for work because of having dinner with them.

They were finishing their meal, and since there were no empty seats in the restaurant, they were able to free up some space.

"Brother, take your time eating. We're leaving now."

After finishing her speech, Song Miaoyu pulled her two friends away.

Song Shijie didn't even have time to call her back; his gaze lingered reluctantly on the pretty figure beside her.

Never mind, there's still time. I'll ask her about it when I have time.

As Lu Wanwan left the restaurant, she secretly looked back and saw Song Shijie's expression. She then lit incense to bless her elder brother.

Just two days ago, Grandma said that if he hadn't been in a hurry, his sister-in-law would have been poached by someone else.

Unexpectedly, this prediction came true not long afterward.

Lu Wanwan was secretly watching the drama unfold. After all, her older brother always had a cold face and seemed indifferent to everything, so she figured she should make him anxious.

Song Miaoyu led them to her usual tailor shop.

"The master craftsmen here have decades of experience. Their eyes are like rulers, and the clothes they make are beautiful and fit well."

Hearing her say that, Gu Mingyue and Lu Wanwan were moved.

"How about we get some clothes made too?"

Gu Mingyue was calm with the money in her pocket; the money Lu Lin had given her was enough for them to make clothes.

Of course, we can't let the money go to waste; we should bring back something for our sponsor.

Lu Wanwan loves taking advantage of her older brother, and she wholeheartedly agrees.

Upon arriving at the tailor shop, after taking their measurements, Gu Mingyue described Lu Lin's figure to the tailor.

Since there has been close contact, although it may not be 100% accurate, it still has a 50% accuracy rate.

The craftsman chuckled and said, "You can rest assured about my skills. Half the accuracy is enough to make the clothes. If they don't fit you after you take them home, I won't charge you a penny."

Gu Mingyue was surprised. Could this be the source of the master craftsman's confidence?

They stayed out until sunset before Gu Mingyue and Lu Wanwan took their spoils home.

The men's clothes were simple to make, and the women waited for them to be finished and brought back to avoid waiting for the production schedule later.

As soon as Lu Wanwan entered the house, while everyone's attention was focused on her sister-in-law, she quietly slipped into her eldest brother's room to report on what had happened that day.

"Big brother, Grandma said that if you don't take action soon, your wife will be snatched away. See, she was right."

Lu Lin frowned. The name Song Shijie was familiar to him; he seemed to be two years younger than him.

I heard that he is a very talented and knowledgeable reporter at a newspaper in Beijing.

When Lu Lin compared himself to him on the same level, he found that it was difficult to determine a winner.

Song's father was an office worker, and Song's mother was a university teacher. The Song family was a scholarly family, and all of them were highly educated. They did not place much importance on social status.

If Song Shijie really liked any girl, as long as her family background was respectable, they would probably agree to it.

Looking at her elder brother's silent demeanor, Lu Wanwan couldn't help but chuckle to herself. Now he must be regretting his previous cold treatment of his sister-in-law, right?

Lu Wanwan kept her thoughts to herself, not daring to say it to her older brother. After reporting the situation, she quietly left so he could think it over.

Lu Lin was so engrossed in his own imagination that he didn't even hear the knocking. When Gu Mingyue came in, he was staring blankly out the door.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Mingyue's sudden voice startled him.

Seeing the expected reaction, Gu Mingyue laughed triumphantly.

Lu Lin let out a long sigh of relief. "Why did you come here?"

Aren't you talking to your grandparents outside?

"Of course, it's because someone is feeling sad that they came here specifically to comfort them."

Gu Mingyue had already learned what had happened from Lu Wanwan, and she felt that she might be overthinking it. The other person didn't mean it at all; they hadn't even exchanged more than a few words on their first meeting.

"Okay, don't be angry anymore. Look what nice things I bought for you."

Gu Mingyue took out the clothes hidden behind her back, "Ta-da!"

It was a white shirt with exquisite embroidery on the cuffs, which was almost imperceptible unless you looked closely.

"You usually wear your clothes in the military camp, so this is just for casual wear."

After all, military camps place the utmost emphasis on rules and regulations, and this uniform, in principle, does not comply with the regulations.

She specifically chose a comfortable and breathable yarn fabric, so that even in the hot summer, she didn't feel stuffy wearing it.

Lu Lin touched the fabric in his hand, a smile appearing on his lips, and said softly, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Gu Mingyue was amazed; it was truly rare to hear a word of praise from him.

"Why are you being so polite? It's like you've become a different person. I'm more used to your old style."

Lu Lin's eyes darted away. "That was because I was ignorant before. You're not allowed to say that again."

Gu Mingyue looked at him teasingly, "What? You've become sensible now?"

I thought Lu Lin wouldn't agree, but to my surprise, he nodded.

He said in a strong and clear voice, "That's right, he's sensible now."

"I didn't understand my own heart before, and I did many things that I was sorry for. Yueyue, can you give me a chance to make amends?"

He looked at Gu Mingyue pitifully, like a puppy waiting for its owner to comfort it.

Gu Mingyue seemed startled, touched his forehead, and said, "You don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense?"

Lu Lin: ......
