The notice was received at two o'clock in the afternoon, and only three hours later, almost the entire military region knew about it.
The two walked outside, and everyone they met on the way congratulated them.
"Congratulations, Captain Lu, you are so young and promising!"
"Thanks."
"As expected of a member of the Lu family, he is so outstanding and has been promoted to group leader at such a young age. Congratulations!"
“You’re welcome.”
"Brother Lu, you've become the group leader so soon, you have to treat me to a meal!"
"Okay, after we finish our work these two days, let's go eat together."
There were too many people congratulating them, so the two had to take a small path. After quickly dealing with a wave of people greeting them, Bai Wei and Lu Siting finally got into the car.
Bai Wei stared at Lu Siting's profile and suddenly felt as if her future idol was being chased and photographed by paparazzi.
Her husband is so handsome no matter how you look at him. If this happened in the future, wouldn't he be the kind of person who could be discovered by a scout even when he walks on the street?
Maybe it was because Bai Wei stared at him for too long, Lu Siting was a little confused: "What's wrong, is there something on my face?"
Bai Wei smiled and said, "Of course not. My husband is so handsome, who wouldn't want to take a second look at him?"
Lu Siting was so amused that he couldn't help laughing out loud.
The two quickly arrived at the hotel, and Lu Zhenghua, Huang Yueya, and Lu Siying were already sitting at the table.
Lu Zhenghua and Lu Siying both received the news in the afternoon, so they told Huang Yueya after returning home. Since the promotion to team leader was such a big deal, they had to celebrate it properly, so Huang Yueya came directly to the restaurant.
Lu Siying had other things to do today, but her brother doesn't get promoted every year, so she asked someone to inform Lu Siting to go to the restaurant for dinner in the evening, and then she followed him over.
There was a large round table in the restaurant's dining room. Huang Yueya and Lu Siting sat on both sides of Lu Zhenghua, Lu Siying sat next to her mother, and Bai Wei sat next to Lu Siting, so in the end Bai Wei and Lu Siying were sitting next to each other.
After all, it was to celebrate Lu Siting's promotion, so most of the dishes ordered were his favorites.
In fact, the Lu family members are not very picky about food. They were born into a military family and have been to the battlefield, so they are not picky about food and accommodation.
After all, it was a family dinner, there weren’t so many rules, and we chatted casually while eating, and the atmosphere was pretty good.
When Bai Wei was drinking water, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something flashing on Lu Siying's wrist.
She put down the cup and looked carefully. It turned out that Lu Siying was wearing a bracelet on her hand.
Bai Wei stared at the bracelet in shock, unable to utter a word.
Isn’t this the bracelet from her shop?
Because it was a new model released during the Chinese New Year, it had only been on the shelves for about a week, so it was impossible for Lu Siying to have bought this bracelet.
But Bai Wei could still recognize the things in her own store.
The figure of a man flashed through my mind. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with a slender figure, a handsome face, and was very good-looking.
What did the man say that day?
Bought it for a friend!
It’s better to give it to a cool girl with a simple and handsome dressing style.
After Bai Wei compared them, Lu Siying was able to match them all.
So, this bracelet was given by that man!
Bai Wei's eyes suddenly lit up and she stared at Lu Siying, feeling a little excited.
Lu Siying felt strange. Bai Wei had been staring at her wrist just now and now she was staring at her. Was there something wrong with what she was wearing today?
"Weiwei, what's wrong?"
"Sister, a man came to my store to buy jewelry a few days ago. He asked me to help him choose some. He said he wanted to give them to a cool girl." Bai Wei suppressed her excitement but couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. "In the end, the man bought a bracelet, which is the one you are wearing on your wrist."
After Bai Wei finished speaking, the whole family stared at Lu Siying.
Lu Siying's scalp tingled and more than a dozen explanations flashed through his mind in an instant.
She looked up and said nonchalantly, "There are a lot of jewelry stores nowadays. How can you be sure that this is something from your store?"
Bai Wei smiled and said, "I can still recognize the things I made myself. Sister, don't resist. Just tell me."
Lu Siting said seriously: "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist."
How can she explain this?
Lu Siying's ears turned red, which was rare. She was angry and said loudly: "What's the big deal? I just helped others a few times before. He felt bad and gave me something to express his gratitude. Don't think wrongly!"
"Tell me, if you saw someone fall down on a bicycle on the street, or saw a thief stealing something, would you be able to resist the urge to take action?"
Lu Siying said confidently: "I am a soldier. I will definitely help those who are injustice, so don't think too much about it. It's just a thank you gift."
No one believed her explanation. They thought there was something fishy going on and continued to stare at her with suspicion.
Lu Siying said quickly: "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly, the food will get cold soon."
Bai Wei was eating the fish that Lu Siting picked up, looking at Lu Siying, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
This era is not like the later generations. Everyone has a mobile phone, and it is very troublesome to contact relatives and friends.
According to what Lu Siying said just now, just because he helped a few times, or helped someone get up after falling down, or helped catch a thief, wouldn't it be enough to just thank him verbally? This is the usual practice of most people.
If the other party really wants to give Lu Siying a gift out of gratitude, that's not a bad idea, but if he wants to give a gift, he must know where the other person lives.
Now that the gift has been given, it can only mean that the other party must know that she lives in the military compound.
But ordinary people can't enter this place at all, so the man must have gone to the gate of the compound and informed the guards that he was looking for Lu Siying, and then someone would pass this information in layer by layer.
The man must have waited at the door for a long time before he saw anyone.
Just looking at these few points, knowing the home address, buying expensive jewelry, and personally waiting for so long, just to give this bracelet to Lu Siying.
They are not ordinary friends, are they?
Bai Wei discovered the trick and ate faster.
Lu Siying lowered his head to eat, not daring to look up at his family members.
Tsk, I shouldn’t have worn this bracelet today without checking the almanac before going out.
This bracelet is beautiful, but it’s too coincidental. That nerd just chose the jewelry from Bai Wei’s store and gave it to her?
Lu Siying couldn't help but take another look at it. It was indeed beautiful. No wonder he bought it.
After that, Lu Siying didn't take much food and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible, but he couldn't avoid the coming inquiries.
Lu Zhenghua put down his chopsticks and asked seriously, "Xiaoying, is what Xiaoting's wife said just now true?"
Lu Siying's heart trembled, and before she could answer, Huang Yueya couldn't wait to ask: "Xiaoying, don't be too stressed. Mom and Dad are just concerned about you. If there is really any situation, tell us and we can help you with some advice."
