As for Jianshu, who was the center of the conversation between the two, he had no idea that he had become the focus of other people's conversation.

After saying goodbye to Lu Jianan and leaving, she went into the auditorium. After searching around, she finally found Pan Ning, but she looked a little down. Could something have happened while she was away?

Jianshu immediately put what had just happened behind her. She no longer thought about Lu Jianan or the confession. Pan Ning was more important.

Anyway, she had already refused clearly just now, and I think Lu Jianan also knew what she meant and would not pester her.

Besides, the other party is a soldier and will definitely not do anything retaliatory. After all, Duan Zhiyong is a minority who does things like that.

This was also the reason why she dared to refuse directly when they were alone outside just now. She still trusted the character of the soldier and didn't have to worry about him getting angry and doing something bad.

Putting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Jian Shu quickly walked up to Pan Ning and asked with concern: "Ningning, was there something wrong just now?"

Pan Ning, feeling a little annoyed, looked up and finally smiled when he saw that it was Jianshu.

Pulling her to sit beside him, he said with a smile, "Shushu, you're back. I'm fine, nothing happened. I was just wondering why you had been out for so long and hadn't come back yet. Did something happen? I was just about to go look for you."

Jianshu could see that Pan Ning was hiding something.

But seeing that Pan Ning didn't want to talk, she didn't ask any further. Friends should still have some sense of propriety. Everyone has their own secrets. Give each other some privacy and don't keep asking.

She knew that if Pan Ning really encountered something difficult to solve, he would not be stupid enough to face it alone and would always speak up. Not speaking up now meant that the matter was not serious.

"I'm fine. I was just so engrossed in looking at the stars that I forgot the time." Jian Shu made an excuse. Of course, it wasn't entirely an excuse, after all, she had indeed been looking at the stars before Lu Jianan showed up.

Pan Ning was absent-minded and lost his usual sharpness. He believed Jianshu's words. After all, Jianshu usually liked to look at the stars, so it was not surprising that he was so engrossed in it that he forgot the time.

It was not time to leave yet, so Jianshu and Pan Ning sat there chatting idly, but both of them had something on their minds, and their conversation was incoherent.

"I think it's almost time. Why don't we leave first and go back early? We have to go to work tomorrow." Pan Ning didn't want to stay any longer and said to Jian Shu.

"Okay, let's go first. It's getting late, so we'd better go back early." Jianshu nodded in agreement with her suggestion. She didn't want to stay any longer, so she decided to go home early.

After the two of them reached a consensus, they walked towards the door. Before leaving, they had to go to the sign-in area to punch in.

It was already late at this time and everyone had to go to work tomorrow, so it was not just Jianshu and the other two who left.

Mixed in with the crowd, the two signed and walked towards the parking lot.

Many people were traveling the same way as the two of them, also heading to the parking lot. After all, attending a social gathering is like a blind date; you have to put your best foot forward. Those with cars generally rode their bikes.

There were many men and women walking together around Jianshu. Although there was some distance between them, she knew that they must be couples who fell in love with each other at today's social gathering.

After all, there is a unique atmosphere between lovers, which is completely different from that between ordinary people. Although they don’t hold hands or do other intimate behaviors, often a glance or a gesture can make people feel that their relationship is unusual. There is even a sour smell of love in the air.

Looking at the number of people around him, Jianshu thought divergently: It seems that today's social gathering was a great success, and the leaders must be very happy.

But there are exceptions. At least Sister Liu will definitely not be happy.

Jianshu thought about how to calm down Sister Liu tomorrow since she was about to get angry, and then thought about whether he should go home for lunch tomorrow, otherwise Li Li would definitely ask him about what happened today.

Jianshu was in a state of confusion and Pan Ning was in a bad mood, so neither of them spoke. In this way, the two of them walked to the parking lot in silence.

"Comrade Li, it's getting late. Can I take you home? I'm worried about you being alone."

"Well, I'll trouble you, Comrade Zhang."

Not far away, there were bursts of conversations. The content of the conversations was similar, basically gay men wanting to send lesbians home.

It’s not bad for Jianshu to guess that this was all intentional by the leaders.

After all, it was already very dark. Most women are timid and afraid of the dark. How could they not be afraid to go home alone? It was not like the later Beijing nights with bright lights and bustling traffic. How could the timid dare to walk at night?

Doesn't this give gay men an opportunity? It's time for them to show off their skills.

Whether they have already established a relationship or are just about to take the final step, gay men will seize the opportunity to send lesbians home.

Those who have already established a relationship hope to take this opportunity to deepen their feelings for each other; those who are still a little way off hope to take this opportunity to confirm the relationship.

As for lesbians, if they were not interested in each other, they would not leave the auditorium with them.

Taking this opportunity, they can also have a deeper understanding of each other. If they find any problems with each other on the way home, can't they break up early and cut the loss in time?

So basically all requests from gay men were approved.

The two sides hit it off and reached a consensus.

As for those single guys, of course they can only go home by themselves. Jianshu Pan Ning is one of them.

But Jianshu didn't care. If no one wanted to send her off, then no one would. She had her own fighting power and didn't need anyone's protection. She could do it on her own.

Besides, if something really happened, who knows who would protect whom! It's better to rely on yourself than on others, so she should do it herself.

Pan Ning doesn't need it either, she still has Jianshu! Sometimes, having a capable friend makes a man useless.

Jianshu found his bicycle and planned to send Pan Ning home first and then go back to his own home.

She rode very fast along the way, but it was almost nine o'clock when she got home.
