Instead of returning to the Rongcheng Provincial Military Region, Liu Kai flew directly to the Fenghai Refugee Center.
The plane landed at 8 p.m.
Today is also the day Qin Luofei promised to return to the bunker to be with Liu Kai.
Seeing Liu Kai walk into the office looking travel-worn, Qin Luofei stopped typing.
She looked up with a big smile: "The busy man is back? I'll be leaving in a few minutes."
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy."
Liu Kai nodded and sat down on a chair to wait.
Just then, he suddenly heard a knock on the door next door.
His office was right next door.
Liu Kai subconsciously opened the scanner, only to see a scene he would never forget!
The secretary, Feng Yuxiao, was also sitting in the office, typing away on her keyboard.
It looks like they're handling routine work documents from the Armaments Department.
Hearing the knock, Feng Yuxiao frowned slightly and said calmly, "Come in!"
The office door opened.
Zhong Linyu was holding a large bowl of steaming dumplings in both hands, with a smile on his face as if he were showing off a treasure.
This scene stunned Feng Yuxiao and left Liu Kai completely bewildered.
He murmured to himself, "Oh, what day is it today?"
Hearing his mutterings, Qin Luofei stopped working again.
Looking earnestly at Liu Kai with a beaming smile, she said, "Today is the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year. Let's cook something delicious when we get back."
"Little New Year, so fast?!"
Liu Kai looked up at his watch with some surprise: January 23, 2044.
It really is the Little New Year.
Unexpectedly, more than seven months have passed since the cold wave arrived. He didn't live to see this point in his previous life.
But upon thinking of this, Liu Kai's expression froze again.
"Experts predict the cold wave will arrive in about 7 days, right? That means..."
Upon hearing his words, Qin Luofei's smile vanished.
He sighed with a hint of melancholy, "Yes, that day happened to be Chinese New Year..."
Although the authorities have done everything they can, many people will probably not make it through the cold snap.
A year ago, this day represented reunion and joy.
Unexpectedly, life is unpredictable and fate plays tricks on us; this year's Spring Festival actually represents death.
I wonder what next year's Spring Festival will be like.
The atmosphere inside the office was somewhat silent, but the atmosphere in the next office was rather subtle.
Feng Yuxiao was stunned when she saw Zhong Linyu bring in dumplings.
But soon, her eyes also reddened, and a hint of tears welled up in them.
Seeing her like this, Zhong Linyu, a perpetually straight man, couldn't help but panic a little.
He quickly put the dumplings down, not knowing where to put his hands.
He could only awkwardly explain, "Um... Secretary Feng, please don't misunderstand. I just heard that your hometown is Qinzhou, where there's a custom of eating dumplings on the Little New Year, so I was thinking..."
Having been "disciplined" by Liu Kai before, Feng Yuxiao's mindset has only gradually changed over this period.
That sense of superiority may have subsided, or it may be fading away.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, she burst into tears in front of Zhong Linyu, revealing her true feelings.
Tears streamed from her large, watery eyes and fell onto the table with a "plop plop" sound.
That appearance was so pitiful that it made me want to cry.
Zhong Linyu panicked even more, completely losing the composure and calmness he displayed when commanding a large army in battle.
"Hey, no, don't cry, I... I really didn't mean anything by it."
"You're working so late, at least grab a bite to eat. It's all seafood meat buns, it's not worth much."
Upon hearing Zhong Linyu's explanation, Liu Kai's lips twitched, and he rolled his eyes.
Unexpectedly, Feng Yuxiao, this aloof woman, broke down upon seeing a bowl of dumplings.
I never expected Zhong Linyu to be such a straight man.
What a great opportunity!
Instead of taking the opportunity to attack, they actually said such things?
However, this feeling did not last long, and it turned into a deep sense of worry.
Zhong Linyu has not given up on Feng Yuxiao at all.
The Feng family, led by Feng Jianchuan, is one that Liu Kai must eliminate.
He is also a thorn in the side of General Secretary Qiu Xingzhou and a group of high-ranking officials.
If Zhong Linyu gets involved with the Feng family, it will put him in a very difficult position.
After all, he acknowledged Zhong Linyu as a friend.
When the two of them are on opposite sides, neither of them will look too good.
Of course, Liu Kai is a determined person. If it really comes to that, he will not hesitate no matter what!
Zhong Linyu is in the middle of something and it's not appropriate to interrupt him.
Therefore, Liu Kai decided to find another opportunity later to try to clarify things with Zhong Linyu.
Moreover, it seems that Feng Yuxiao was somewhat moved, even though she was thinking of something.
However, it's likely that she has no interest in Zhong Linyu.
But to Liu Kai's surprise...
Feng Yuxiao actually fell for "sincerity".
Seeing that Zhong Linyu's clothes were still stained with white flour, one could tell that he had made the dumplings himself.
I saw him again, looking so helpless and silly.
Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she burst out laughing.
She didn't speak, nor did she continue typing.
Instead, she gave Zhong Linyu a deep look.
Finally, I picked up my chopsticks, took a dumpling, and put it in my mouth, chewing it slowly.
Seeing that she started eating, Zhong Linyu felt much relieved.
But Feng Yuxiao remained silent, and he didn't know what to say.
He could only sit awkwardly on the guest sofa to the side.
His back was ramrod straight, and his hands were placed properly on his thighs, not daring to move.
