It was still very cold in Jiangbei in March. The girl wore a military coat and had two long braids hanging in front of her chest. She had a fresh and clean look, but not pretty.
Military coats are a fashion nowadays. Not everyone can afford to wear one. You need to have someone in your family serving in the army. Moreover, the style of this girl’s military coat is obviously not an ordinary coat. It is the kind that only people of high rank can wear.
Rong Jingchen glanced at her and nodded as a greeting, then ignored her and lowered his head to eat, occasionally picking up some food for Lin Ximan.
Looking at the extra food in the bowl, Lin Ximan raised her eyebrows, then smiled as if she had thought of something, and started eating naturally without saying anything.
Rong Jingchen, who was watching Lin Ximan like this, picked up the dishes more diligently. The two of them seemed to have not heard anyone talking to them, and no one paid any attention to the girl standing by the table.
"Brother Chen, don't add any more. I can't eat anymore." Lin Ximan's voice was soft and charming, and her deliberately coquettish tone made people want to hold her in their arms and never let go.
Fortunately, her voice was not loud and only the three of them heard it. Otherwise, with Lin Ximan's appearance and the tone of her voice, the men in this hotel really wouldn't be able to bear it.
When Rong Jingchen heard this voice, his hands paused for a moment, his heart trembled for no reason, and then he put the chopsticks back into his bowl, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed his good mood.
The girl he liked was different. Even if he didn't say anything, she knew what he wanted. She was the one! He would go to do a background check after finishing the things here. He would be worried if he didn't settle down with such a lovely girl soon.
Seeing that both of them ignored her, the girl had to make herself known, "I haven't seen this comrade before. Is he new to the armed forces?"
Lin Ximan still ignored her, but picked up a piece of meat from the plate and gave it to Rong Jingchen, saying delicately, "Brother Chen, you have lost weight. If your aunt knew, she would definitely feel sorry for you. Before I came, your aunt held my hand and told me, Manman, you must keep an eye on your brother Chen when you go over there, and tell him to work hard and not be delayed by the messy people or things around him. You must take good care of your health. Haha, brother Chen, you said that you are so old but still not reassuring, which shows that you are not sensible. Alas, your aunt has worked so hard."
Rong Jingchen also cooperated and said, "Then you must keep your mouth shut. Don't let my mother know, otherwise it will be another big mess."
"Captain Rong, won't you introduce yourself?" The girl was a little angry, but she suppressed her anger. She also had a status, and this was the first time she was ignored like this.
Rong Jingchen couldn't ignore her after being nominated, so he said to her, "This is Manman, my girlfriend." He then said to Lin Ximan, "This is Liao Chunyan, the daughter of Minister Liao of the County Armed Forces Department."
Liao Chunyan didn't expect Rong Jingchen to have a girlfriend! I've never heard of this person before? I heard from this person named Manman that she also knows Rong Jingchen's mother, and they seem to have a very good relationship. It seems that this person has a clear path? It's not some unorthodox way to get to this position!
Manman's dress is also different from that of people in the county town. It looks like a style that can only be found in big cities. In fact, her knowledge is still limited. Big cities don't have these styles either.
His accent is from the same place as Rong Jingchen's. Although it is not as strong as Kyoto dialect, it is not much different.
Liao Chunyan knew that Rong Jingchen's identity was not simple, so Manman should not be an ordinary person either. However, she was unwilling to accept this. This was the man she liked. As long as she could find a way to make Rong Jingchen fall in love with her, all difficulties could be solved.
However, when she saw Manman's face clearly, her heart sank to the bottom. With that face that was so beautiful that it didn't seem like that of an ordinary person, did she still have a chance of winning?
She was ready to try harder, so she forced a smile on her face and asked, "We met by chance today, why don't we eat together?"
Before Rong Jingchen could answer, Lin Ximan pouted and said, "No, I finally came here once, and I haven't had a good chat with Brother Chen yet. What are you doing here?"
Rong Jingchen seemed to feel sorry for her and quickly refused, "Comrade Liao, I'm so sorry. We are almost done eating, so I won't delay your meal."
He turned around and apologized to Lin Ximan, "I'm sorry, Manman. It's Brother Chen's fault. I can't even eat in peace. How about this, Brother Chen will accompany you during the few days you are in Longcheng? Okay, don't be angry anymore. Hey, look at your pouting little mouth, it looks like you can hang an oil bottle on it." After saying that, he gently touched Lin Ximan's nose with his index finger and served her another bowl of soup.
That intimacy gave not only Liao Chunyan but also Lin Ximan goosebumps. Is Rong Jingchen acting like a drama queen?
After being rejected so obviously, Liao Chunyan, who was a person who cared about her reputation, could no longer stand by the table. She walked back to her seat and sat down. While eating, she stared angrily at the two people in front of her.
Send the Buddha to the west!
"Brother Chen, why are you thinner than the last time I saw you? Are you not eating on time again? I brought you some cakes from Kyoto this time. Remember to eat them when you are hungry!"
Don't ask her how she knew that Rong Jingchen was from Kyoto. She knew it from the first time they met when she saw Rong Jingchen speaking in Beijing dialect. And he didn't deliberately change his accent, so people could tell. So there was nothing wrong with her saying this now.
"Thank you Manman for caring about me so much. I will eat well in the future, and when you see me again, you will not see that I am thin, okay?" The doting eyes, the gentle tone, if Lin Ximan didn't know that this was all a big show, she would have thought that Rong Jingchen fell in love with her.
