Chapter 240

Ji Wanmei slept very soundly.

When she opened her eyes, it was already daylight, and a ray of bright sunlight shone in through the window.

It's rare to see such a bright sun in January, a month of winter.

Ji Wanmei shifted her feet, which were tucked under the covers. The thermos that Lei Tingjun had placed beside her feet last night still retained some warmth.

As for the Thunder Army, they left sometime last night.

Ji Wanmei sat up, stretched, put on her cashmere coat, put on her shoes, and went out the door.

She stood in front of the work shed and saw that the construction equipment on the construction site not far away had already started working.

The clanging and banging noise would normally be considered very noisy, but Ji Wanmei was not disturbed at all when she woke up in the morning.

"Awake?" Lei Tingjun got out of the pickup truck parked across the street and walked towards her.

Ji Wanmei asked in surprise, "You've been in the car the whole time. Didn't you go back to the dormitory to sleep?"

"Go to sleep. I got up at seven in the morning to come and wait for you, and take you to have breakfast." Lei Tingjun went back to sleep so late last night, and woke up so early this morning, but he still looked energetic and radiant.

Ji Wanmei then glanced at her watch; it was almost nine o'clock.

In other words, he came over and waited for her in the car for almost two hours.

"I overslept." Ji Wanmei patted her head sheepishly.

"It's okay, let's go. I'll take you to have breakfast. What do you want to eat?" Lei Tingjun led her into the car.

"Wait for me to go back and get a bag." Ji Wanmei jogged back into the house, slung her small handbag over her shoulder, then got into the pickup truck and went with Lei Tingjun to find something delicious to eat.

"I want to eat something hot." Ji Wanmei touched her stomach, feeling a little hungry. She had eaten hot pot with everyone last night and ate quite a lot, but she didn't know why she felt hungry after waking up.

Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood that I have a good appetite.

"Then I'll take you to a noodle soup shop. My buddies and I often go there. The portions are generous and the taste is pretty good."

Today, Lei Tingjun specifically set aside time to delegate unnecessary tasks to his subordinates, while he spent the day with Ji Wanmei.

The workers below all knew that Lei's girlfriend had arrived, and they certainly couldn't let him down these next few days, so they helped with whatever work they could.

The bottom line is that we absolutely cannot disturb Brother Lei and his wife's date.

Lei Tingjun drove Ji Wanmei to the noodle shop. There were four small tables outside the shop, and they were all full of people, so business was pretty good.

Lei Tingjun went over and brought two small plastic stools over, asking Ji Wanmei to sit down first. He said to her, "Let's wait here for a while. We'll go sit at the table after they finish eating."

Ji Wanmei nodded and smiled, "It's alright. So many customers coming to eat here means the food is delicious."

She didn't mind the old and dilapidated environment at all.

Lei Tingjun looked at her for a while and then laughed.

Ji Wanmei was puzzled by his laughter, and raised her hand to touch her face: "Is it because I didn't wash my face this morning, and there's something on my face?"

She got up in the morning and didn't even have time to wash her face or brush her teeth. She just casually tied her hair into a ponytail and came to have breakfast with Lei Tingjun.

For a pampered young lady like Ji Wanmei, she had never been so careless about her hygiene and appearance before.

In other words, after being with Lei Tingjun, she was influenced by him, and it seemed that these were all trivial matters and not very important.

Lei Tingjun shook his head, his eyes gentle: "No, I didn't even know you hadn't washed your face until you told me. You look very beautiful, especially in the morning sun shining on your face, it's glowing."

"Because I've never seen you at nine in the morning before, so this is what it's like."

So cute, with rosy cheeks and soft hair.

Ji Wanmei blushed when she heard him say something that sounded like a confession of love.

She immediately covered his mouth and said in a deliberately angry tone, "Where did you learn all this glib talk?"

Lei Tingjun's lips were covered by hers, and he didn't speak or make a sound, just looked at her and smiled.

Ji Wanmei, feeling his gaze, suddenly laughed along with him. The two of them looked at each other and laughed like fools.

The owner called out from inside the shop, "Your noodle soup is ready!"

Lei Tingjun then took Ji Wanmei's hand and went over to a table that had just been cleaned up, where they sat down and began to eat noodles.

"Try it and see how it tastes. If it's not flavorful enough, we also have soy sauce and vinegar here."

Ji Wanmei took a bite and nodded: "Hmm, this noodle is quite chewy, and with this soup, it's very smooth."

Lei Tingjun picked up a large mouthful with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, making a slurping sound as he ate. He finished half a bowl of noodles in just a few bites.

Ji Wanmei looked at her and said, "You eat too fast. It's bad for your stomach and makes it hard for your stomach to absorb nutrients. You need to eat slower in the future."

Lei Tingjun said, "We drive trucks on construction sites and are always in a hurry. If we eat slowly, it will cause delays, so we are used to eating very quickly."

"Even if you're in a hurry, you shouldn't rush to eat in just a few minutes," Ji Wanmei said disapprovingly.

“Okay, then I’ll eat slower from now on.” Lei Tingjun listened to her.

After finishing the soup noodles, Lei Tingjun prepared to drive Ji Wanmei back to Honghe Township to visit the brick factory.

This time, however, Ji Wanmei insisted on going back to the room she stayed in last night, and only after she had done her hair and washed up would she set off.

She said, "Look at me now, I'm a complete mess, I look awful, how can I face anyone?"

Lei Tingjun took a closer look at Ji Wanmei and thought that her hair was smooth, her skin was fair and clean, and her clothes were neat and tidy. She was very beautiful and he really couldn't see where she was 'ugly'.
