As soon as Gu Jingshen said this, not only did he become nervous, but Lu Cheng, who had been eating with his head down, also tightened his grip on the chopsticks.
After waiting for a long time, Meng Si Ning looked at Lu Cheng, then at Gu Jingshen, and smiled mysteriously: "He likes to keep it mysterious." This ambiguous answer made Lu Cheng feel like there was a little rabbit in his heart, and he was very nervous, while Gu Jingshen was even more nervous and upset.
After lunch, Meng Si Ning wanted to find a chance to talk to Lu Cheng, but he ran away faster than Gu Jingshen. Meng Si Ning looked at Lu Cheng's hurriedly leaving back, feeling helpless and could only sigh silently in his heart.
[Baby, are you there?] Meng Si Ning sent a message to Jiang Tang.
"I'm still driving. It's been a whole day and night. I'm almost dead tired." Jiang Tang replied quickly.
Is this how you fight?
[The car is borrowed, time is short and the task is heavy, so there is no other way.]
【Then you can get busy. Remember to take more rest. 】
【How about you? Have you arrived yet? 】
I arrived yesterday afternoon and everything has been arranged. I also met Lu Cheng.
[How's it going? Did you get it?]
[Not yet. He's been so indifferent to me, and seems to be acting hot and cold. There must be something he's misunderstood.]
[Girl, take it down quickly, use your charm skills immediately.]
【......】
For the next two days, Meng Si Ning couldn't find a chance to meet Lu Cheng. Gu Jingshen, not knowing whether he was hurt or not, stopped approaching her.
That night, little brother Lin insisted on sleeping with Uncle Lin and his mother. Meng Si Ning sent him there. When he came back, he ran into Lu Cheng, whom he hadn't seen for two days.
Seeing that there was no one around him, Meng Si Ning quickly walked over to him and asked, "Comrade Lu, are you still busy so late?"
"Are you done with your work? You know it's so late, so why are you wandering around alone? Although residential areas are safer, there are still chances of accidents." Lu Cheng said with concern.
"I'm waiting for you." Meng Si Ning said bluntly.
“…” Lu Cheng was speechless for a moment.
"Is there something wrong?" he asked slowly.
"There are some things that I need your help with." Meng Si Ning deliberately kept it a secret.
"What aspect? What's missing in the accommodation?" Lu Cheng asked hurriedly.
Meng Si Ning shook his head and didn't answer. He stood under the dim street light and looked at Lu Cheng without blinking. Lu Cheng felt a little uncomfortable. "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it during the day. It's already very late."
"Why didn't you reply to my letter?" Meng Si Ning finally asked the question in his mind.
Lu Cheng retracted his raised steps. Looking at Meng Si Ning's aggrieved eyes, he suddenly felt guilty. He didn't want this to happen either.
"Comrade Meng, you should also understand the customs in our country. It is not as open as those in foreign countries. Men and women should keep some distance. This is good for your own good. Besides, you already have a partner. Keeping in long-term correspondence with other gay men will have a bad influence on you and may easily lead to misunderstandings. I think your partner ignores you because of the letters you wrote to me. So, in the future, you should not send letters to me." Lu Cheng explained patiently.
"Do you want to know the name of my partner?" Meng Si Ning asked, staring into his eyes.
“...No...” Lu Cheng’s heart tightened and he refused instinctively.
I felt like my heart was torn apart, but before I could feel the pain, I heard an incredible answer.
"His name is Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng from the Second Regiment of Shen District." Meng Si Ning's voice was crisp, and every word was heard by Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng's heart was like a roller coaster, up and down, up and down, surprise, astonishment, and surprise again. That unexpected feeling was all tangible at this moment. The depression he had been feeling for a while finally disappeared at this moment.
"During that competition, I told people that I had a partner. Actually, I did it on purpose because I didn't want to cause too much trouble. You don't know how popular I am in the compound. The matchmaker from our compound has come to my house several times, and the same goes for the neighbors around. I had no choice but to tell people that I had a partner often. Lu Cheng, I wrote to you and it was so obvious. Now you understand what I mean. Are you... willing to be my partner?" Meng Si Ning's cheeks flushed slightly, and she waited nervously for his answer.
"......" When Lu Cheng heard that someone was going to her house to propose marriage, she was extremely nervous. She opened and closed her mouth again and again. She was so shy that her ears felt hot. She didn't know how to answer. She couldn't utter the word "yes" for a long time.
"Do you think it's inconvenient that we're not in the same city? If that's the case, just tell me directly and I won't bother you." Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Meng Si Ning felt a little embarrassed, but mostly disappointed. She was unhappy that her confession failed. Putting aside the fact that she was avoiding the blind date, she really liked Lu Cheng's face. She had always been very confident in her looks, but when it came to Lu Cheng, it didn't seem to work. Didn't Jiang Tang say that Lu Cheng liked her? Bullshit, it wasn't true at all.
Just when Meng Si Ning was about to leave in defeat, Lu Cheng finally spoke: "Meng Si Ning, are you sure, it's me?" His voice was low. Meng Si Ning had never heard anyone call his name in such a voice before. It was really... nice. He smiled at him and nodded: "Sure."
"Ahem...Comrade Meng Si Ning, my name is Lu Cheng, I'm 26 years old this year, and I'm currently a regimental-level cadre. My home is in Kyoto, and I have a younger sister and a younger brother, both of whom have jobs. My younger sister is married and works in the logistics department of the team, and my younger brother also has a partner, who works in the judicial department. If I don't have special reasons, I won't change in the next few years, even if I do. So, are you willing to come here after you get married?" Lu Cheng said seriously.
