Jiang Ningyan bit her lip and pulled her hand out.
He made up an excuse, "Others will see it..."
Lu Bingchuan noticed her awkwardness and his dark eyes deepened.
In the past, Jiang Ningyan would not care about others and would want to announce in public that they had a special relationship.
She was dodging, and he didn't want to let go.
After a moment of silence, Lu Bingchuan decided that after dinner, when they were alone, he would seriously express his thoughts on the missions over the past few days.
There are not many people in the cafeteria now.
Jiang Ningyan didn't have much of an appetite, so she took a bowl of lean meat porridge and drank it in small sips.
The man's eyes fell on her face from time to time, and the burning temperature in his eyes was not concealed, which made her heart beat faster.
She didn't know what to say, so she just made small talk and asked, "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Yeah, very good."
"...and the night before last?"
"That's good too."
Jiang Ningyan was speechless, her eyelashes fluttering, and she lowered her head to stir the porridge in the bowl with a spoon.
The curve of Lu Bingchuan's lips deepened a little.
Others have someone to care about, and so does he.
Ten meters away, two female comrades sat down with their plates.
"Eh? Isn't that Chief Lu?"
"What a coincidence, he just came for breakfast too."
Lin Jingwan, who was sitting next to her, raised her head. The moment she saw clearly, the smile that had just appeared on the corner of her lips froze again.
"Comrade Lu...does he have a partner?"
The female comrade sitting opposite Lu Bingchuan looked very young. She was wearing a long cotton floral dress, her hair draped softly over her shoulders, she had a slender waist and a pretty face.
The gentle figure sitting on the stool made the simple environment of the cafeteria look more upscale.
Lin Jingwan felt indescribably lost. No wonder Comrade Lu was deliberately distancing himself from her. He must be afraid that his partner would get jealous if she knew about it.
"You don't even know this? That's Commander Lu's godsister, Comrade Jiang from the Propaganda Department. I heard these two siblings have a very good relationship."
Lin Jingwan breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is."
Her companion smiled and gave her a push, "Don't think I can't see that you're interested in Chief Lu. We just happened to meet, so why don't you go over and say a few words."
Lin Jingwan blushed and denied it, "Don't talk nonsense, Comrade Lu and I have never had much contact at all."
"But I feel like the commander has a good impression of you. You won first place in the last combat rescue skills competition, and he said you performed well."
My companion urged me with a smile, "If you don't go and say hello, they'll finish their meal and leave."
Lin Jingwan hesitated for a moment, then stood up and walked over.
Jiang Ningyan really had no appetite and put down her spoon after eating half full.
Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a slender figure in military green, who stopped by the table. "Comrade Lu, what a coincidence, you are here too."
The sound is very nice, soft and pleasant.
Jiang Ningyan raised her eyes and met a gentle gaze.
Lin Jingwan smiled at her and said, "You are Comrade Lu's sister, right? I have heard of you. I am Lin Jingwan, the military doctor of the regiment."
Thinking that she hadn't received any gold coin rewards for a few days, Jiang Ningyan planned to adjust her facial expression to be ferocious to maintain her character.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bingchuan reacted faster. He stood up and nodded slightly to Lin Jingwan, "Please come with me."
Lin Jingwan was stunned, but still followed him.
"Comrade Lin Jingwan, don't tell anyone about my injury." Lu Bingchuan's dark eyes were cold, and his tone was cold and distant.
"Also, please keep your distance from me in any situation in the future to avoid misunderstandings."
Lin Jingwan's heart gradually sank to the bottom, her fingertips unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes, and finally she replied softly, "Okay."
If Comrade Lu hadn't called her just now, she would have asked about the condition of his wound. He really knew everything.
I really don't want to have any contact with her.
Lu Bingchuan turned around, but his eyes suddenly turned cold.
The place where Jiang Ningyan had been sitting just now was now empty, even the tableware had been taken away.
Lu Bingchuan looked around and didn't see any familiar figures in the cafeteria.
He pursed his lips and walked quickly outside.
Half an hour later, at the Shen family.
Shen Mo was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
When he opened the door, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Ningyan, why are you here?"
Jiang Ningyan was holding a large paper bag, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.
"Brother Shen, I'm here to look for Xueying."
A hint of disappointment flashed across Shen Mo's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and stepped aside to let her into the house.
"There's an event at school today, and Xueying hasn't come back yet. Please come in and wait."
Jiang Ningyan hesitated for a moment, "Sorry to bother you then."
It was getting late, and Shen's parents would probably be going to bed soon. If Shen Xueying didn't come back soon, she would leave first.
The Shen family's living room was neat and spacious, with a brown leather sofa and a few newspapers on the coffee table in front.
Jiang Ningyan had nothing else to do, so she picked up a newspaper and casually flipped through it.
After glancing a few times, his sight suddenly stopped on an enlarged black and white photo.
The articles in this section describe the rescue work of the First Military Region of Beijing in Province T. The main subject of the photo is a young soldier who was injured but still insisted on rescuing people, and the background is a messy rescue scene.
Jiang Ningyan stared at the lower right corner of the photo, where a young man and woman were sitting beside the rubble. The man's figure was very familiar to her, and the woman was Lin Jingwan, whom she had just met today.
In this photo, Lin Jingwan leaned towards Lu Bingchuan. Her facial expression was unclear, but it could be seen that they were talking.
"What are you looking at? So lost in thought?"
A glass of water was suddenly placed in front of her.
Jiang Ningyan came back to her senses and forced a smile, "I was thinking... this article is really well written."
She had obviously anticipated this, but when it actually happened, she realized that her emotions were a little out of control.
She picked up the paper bag and said to Shen Mo, "Brother Shen, I'll go wait in Xueying's room. You can continue with your work."
Shen Mo nodded, understanding that it would be awkward for two of them to sit in the living room like this. After she entered Shen Xueying's room, he turned around and went back to the study.
After an unknown amount of time, the phone rang and Shen Mo looked up from the drawing.
He rubbed his tired eyes and picked up the receiver. "Hello, who is this?"
"Brother, I'm busy too late today, so I'll stay at Qiu Yue's house. Don't wait for me."
Shen Mo looked at the clock and frowned slightly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Ningyan wants to see you and is still waiting in your room."
Shen Xueying raised her eyebrows in surprise. "Brother, it's so late. Please send her back quickly. I will apologize to her tomorrow."
The school activities are not over yet. The rematch will be tomorrow. She and Qiu Yue have to stay up late to prepare and are really busy.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Mo went upstairs and knocked on the door of Shen Xueying's room.
She carefully considered her words and said, "Ningyan, I'm sorry, Xueying is staying at a friend's house today. Let me take you home."
There was no movement inside the door.
Shen Mo raised his voice and said it again, but the result was the same.
Could it be that he fell asleep?
He hesitated for a moment and pushed the door open.
