"Look, look at Lu Tuan." A soldier from the second company excitedly poked his comrade next to him.
"What's wrong?" His comrade looked in the direction he pointed with a puzzled look on his face.
"Tuan Lu is serving food to reporter Meng. He even handed her the chopsticks." The soldier's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"This is terrible. Did you guys from the third company see that? Our captain is not dating reporter Meng, is he?" The news spread in the cafeteria in an instant, and everyone cast curious glances at him.
Lu Cheng brought two companies with him this time, the Second and Third. The captain of the Second Company was surnamed Sang, and the captain of the Third Company was Gu Jingshen. Captain Sang had also attended the previous competition and knew about the incident where Lu Tuan and Reporter Meng were trapped overnight. Seeing them so close now, he naturally thought of this.
Compared to the others' excitement, Gu Jingshen remained indifferent, as if he'd already known. He'd actually figured it out the night before. From the night of the party to the moment they both received the letter from Liang City, he should have guessed it. He just couldn't figure out how late he was. Was it that night in the mountains? Why not him?
Lu Cheng's comrades were not the only ones surprised; Lin Huaci and Si Youyuan were also surprised. Seeing the two of them being so intimate, Si Youyuan smiled. "I've always thought there was something going on between them, but I didn't expect it to be true. Why didn't you tell me? Am I the kind of person who wouldn't understand?"
Lin Huaci said: "Letting us see it now is to inform us."
Lin Siyun looked at the man beside her sister and said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, are you going to leave me and don't want me anymore?"
Lin Huaci picked up some food for him and said, "No, I will always be your sister."
Si Youyuan was very pleased: "The two children are so close now?"
"Yes, that puts our minds at ease."
The cafeteria had rice porridge, tofu pudding, pickles, a kind of stir-fried vegetables, and fried cakes in the morning. Lu Cheng didn't buy them arbitrarily, but asked Meng Si Ning what she wanted to eat first.
Tofu pudding is rarely eaten in Liang City, and there are also fried cakes: "This fried cake is delicious and sweet. The food in the unit is much better than ours." Meng Sining praised it while eating.
"This is easy to make and you can make it at home, but it consumes a lot of oil." Lu Cheng explained with a smile.
"You can, but I'm not very good at cooking." Meng Si Ning said a little embarrassedly.
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "I'll do it for you when I have the chance." He glanced at Engineer Lin and Engineer Si who were not far away. Seeing that they were also looking over here, he asked nervously, "Should we go to Engineer Lin's place?"
Meng Si Ning asked: "Do you want to go now?"
Lu Cheng shook his head, there were too many people.
Meng Si Ning pointed at his comrades with his chin: "They should be very curious too."
"Sometimes they are more gossipy than women." Lu Cheng smiled helplessly.
After dinner, the two separated. Meng Si Ning walked over to Si You Yuan and took her hand, looking innocent but not saying a word.
Si Youyuan nodded her forehead helplessly: "Mom doesn't object to you dating, there's nothing you can't say, you have good taste."
"Mom, thank you. Uncle Lin, what do you think?" Meng Si Ning looked at Lin Huaci with a smile.
"Lu Cheng is a man with potential. I know his father and his family background is not bad, but he lives a little far away from me and your mother." Lin Huaci analyzed seriously.
"Uncle Lin and mom are so capable, maybe they will be transferred to Beijing in the future." Meng Si Ning said mischievously.
A few people laughed. It would be great if that day really came. Meng Si Ning decided to ask Jiang Tang when he had time, how Bai Yueguang's last family members were doing.
After separating from his parents, Meng Si Ning took his younger brother to the office. Noticing the wrinkled forehead, he hugged him and said, "What's wrong? Are you tired of staying in the office? How about I ask your future brother-in-law to accompany you?"
"No, he wants to take you away." Lin Siyun pouted, looking reluctant.
"Are you afraid that I will leave you?" Meng Si Ning asked gently.
Lin Siyun twisted his body and said nothing.
Meng Si Ning pinched his little face and said, "Have you ever thought that you might leave me early?"
"..., how could that be?" Lin Siyun looked surprised.
"When school starts, you will be a fifth-grade elementary school student, and you will go to junior high school next year. I plan to let you go to the best junior high school in Liang City. That place is a bit far from our compound, so you may have to live on campus." Meng Si Ning explained patiently.
"I don't live on campus." Lin Siyun said firmly.
"It's okay not to live on campus. We can rent or buy a house nearby." Meng Sining suggested.
"Sister, aren't you going to get married?" Lin Siyun suddenly asked.
"You don't want me to leave, so I'll just become an old maid." Meng Si Ning teased him deliberately.
"I don't." Lin Siyun said anxiously.
Meng Si Ning shrugged: "What should I do?"
Lin Siyun was troubled for a long time in the morning. It was almost noon when he finally pulled her aside and said, "I'm old enough and can take care of myself. I don't want my sister to become an old maid."
"Pfft...Haha, okay, I'm just teasing you. I promise to stay with you for the next two years, how about that?" Meng Si Ning said with a smile.
"Really?" Lin Siyun's eyes lit up.
"How about we make a pinky promise?" Meng Si Ning raised his little finger.
"This is the Rong District. Who are you looking for?" The loud voice of Lu Cheng's father came from the other end of the phone.
"Dad, it's me." Lu Cheng said.
"Boss, is everything going well at work? Although I didn't go to the competition this time, I heard about it. You did well, kid. Why didn't you participate in the individual competition?" the father asked with concern.
"You can't keep occupying the position all the time. You have to leave some space for your younger brothers." Lu Cheng replied with a smile.
"Why are you calling at this time?" asked the father.
