After finishing his meal, Lu Ting tidied up the table and then brought in the sewing machine.
"Wife, where do you want to put it?"
Su Miaoyan thought to herself that she didn't know how to operate a sewing machine, so she casually pointed to the next room and said, "Put it here."
"good."
Lu Ting carried the sewing machine to a spot and put it away.
After finishing his work, Lu Ting looked at Su Miaoyan, who was sitting blankly on the sofa, and asked,
"Honey, can you ride a bicycle?"
bike?
In my memory, Su Miaoyan knew how to do it.
But it had been a long time since she had ridden one, and Su Miaoyan wasn't sure if she had forgotten how.
She hesitated for a moment before replying, "Hmm... I think so."
Lu Ting thought to himself that there was no need to teach him then.
I don't know why, but I feel a little disappointed.
Su Miaoyan didn't notice the change in his expression and said, "I'll give it a try."
Lu Ting: "Okay."
Su Miaoyan looked at the bicycle in the yard and tried to sit on it.
Just as I remembered, I stepped on the pedal.
The chain twisted slightly, and the bicycle moved forward slowly.
Feeling the bicycle move, Su Miaoyan tried her best to maintain her balance. Lu Ting frowned slightly and stepped forward to protect her.
The bicycle wobbled precariously. Su Miaoyan wasn't very skilled at it, and when she tried to turn a corner, the bicycle seemed to drift out of control and tipped to the side.
Su Miaoyan gasped in surprise, and Lu Ting pulled her into his arms.
Hearing the noise from next door, Ma Yingchun, who was having dinner with Wei Deyao, hurriedly got up and went to the window.
When he opened the window and saw Su Miaoyan and Lu Ting, the greeting that was on the tip of his tongue turned away and he swallowed it back.
This, this Su girl is...
Ma Yingchun took a bite of the steamed bun in her hand, then turned around and went back to her seat, pretending nothing had happened.
Wei Deyao asked, "What happened to Chief Lu's wife?"
Ma Yingchun casually replied, "Chief Lu is teaching Su to ride a bicycle."
"oh."
Knowing that nothing serious had happened, Wei Deyao didn't ask any more questions.
Thinking she was about to kiss the ground, Su Miaoyan subconsciously reached out her hand to support herself on the ground.
As a result, someone caught him in a full embrace.
Lu Ting helped the person to their feet and, feeling the person trembling, said, "Take it slow, there's no rush."
Realizing that she might get hurt without Lu Ting, Su Miaoyan quickly took a step back and said, "Okay."
She looked at the brand-new bicycle and her eyes lit up when she noticed there was a seat in the back.
"Lu Ting, do you know how to ride a bicycle?"
"meeting."
Su Miaoyan tugged at his sleeve, "If you know how, could you teach me?"
It's not about teaching, it's about guiding.
Lu Ting was slightly taken aback, and followed her gaze to the back seat of the bicycle.
I quickly understood what she meant.
"good."
Su Miaoyan was happy.
She glanced at the time and suddenly remembered that Lu Ting hadn't taken a lunch break yet. "Lu Ting, why don't we come after your training session? You should go back to your room and get some sleep now."
Lu Ting wanted to refuse, but Su Miaoyan had already pushed him into the courtyard.
He reluctantly agreed, "Okay."
Su Miaoyan changed the subject, "Aren't you going to the training ground? Today, you can ride your bicycle and take me there, okay?"
Lu Ting thought of those guys on the training field who didn't like wearing shirts, his expression turned serious, and he unusually refused, "No way."
Su Miaoyan didn't expect Lu Ting to reject her. She gave a dry "oh" and her expression showed her disappointment.
Lu Ting couldn't bear to see her like this; he felt a pang of heartache and said:
"I'll spend time with you when I get back from training, okay?"
Su Miaoyan had just thought about it: if Lu Ting took her there on a bicycle, how would they ride it back?
Are we supposed to stay there?
It doesn't look quite right.
Thinking of this, Su Miaoyan nodded, "Okay."
As Su Miaoyan returned to her room, the two soldiers she had seen earlier that day flashed through her mind, and she subconsciously asked:
"Lu Ting, at 10 a.m., are the soldiers usually training on the training ground?"
Lu Ting said, "Yes, they're usually there."
Su Miaoyan then asked, "If someone is not at the training ground at this time, but somewhere else, what would it be for?"
Lu Ting frowned and said, "It's possible that they were asked to leave the station due to illness, but in this case, they would usually be seen at the hospital."
He looked up and asked softly, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Su Miaoyan recounted what she had seen about the two soldiers meeting in the family compound that morning.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, the bee colony was not mentioned.
Lu Ting's expression turned serious upon hearing this. He asked solemnly, "Have you seen what those two people look like?"
Su Miaoyan shook her head. "They were wearing hats at the time, with the brims pulled down very low, so I couldn't see them clearly, but...the two of them were about the same height, probably around 1.8 meters."
Almost everyone who can join the army is over 1.8 meters tall.
Seemingly realizing she had said something irrelevant, Su Miaoyan said, "At the time, I was hiding behind the woodpile. I had a feeling that if they discovered someone was hiding there, they might..."
Lu Ting's eyes darkened, and a chill emanated from his body.
He gently reassured them, "It's alright. Since it happened once, it will happen again. I will explain this to my superiors."
The fact that the training session took place in the family compound, and near an uninhabited area, seemed far too coincidental; rather...
Su Miaoyan also guessed what was going on. The two exchanged a glance, understanding each other without saying a word.
The two entered the room, but the moment they stepped inside, a black plastic bag came into their view.
Su Miaoyan was startled, and after realizing what was happening, she quickly stuffed the plastic bag into the cabinet.
Oh my god, I forgot to put it away properly.
Lu Ting asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Su Miaoyan stammered, "No, nothing."
What's in here?
Su Miaoyan lowered her head, silently moved a few steps to the side, and reached out to cover Lu Ting with the blanket.
"Oh, it's nothing, you should go to sleep."
Seeing that she seemed unwilling to say more, Lu Ting was curious, but ultimately didn't ask any further questions.
He nodded. "Okay."
After Lu Ting went to the training ground in the afternoon, Su Miaoyan left the courtyard to find the bee colony that had guided her that morning.
Perhaps sensing Su Miaoyan's arrival, or perhaps feeling her presence, the once quiet beehive suddenly became restless, and then...
Su Miaoyan saw that countless bees were slowly emerging from the hive.
They flew to her, landed on her shoulder, and some even hovered in front of her.
It's as if they're asking, "What's wrong?"
Su Miaoyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the swarm of bees return unharmed, but still tentatively asked:
"Did you deliberately follow me this morning to lead me into encountering those two men?"
The bees buzzed and formed a checkmark in the sky.
