It was only a few steps back to her room, but they didn't say a word. The moonlight shone on them, lengthening their shadows. At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and they cherished this last moment together.
The air was filled with the sadness of parting. After a long while, Lu Cheng broke the silence: "Si Ning, take good care of yourself when you go back."
"You too, be careful when you encounter danger."
Lu Cheng gently held her hand and said, "When I'm done with this, I'll go to Liang City to see you."
Meng Si Ning nodded vigorously: "I'll wait for you."
The door opened, and Meng Si Ning was just thinking about giving him a hug when he suddenly stuffed something into her hand and said, "You've been tired all day. Go to bed early. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"...Okay." Meng Si Ning didn't feel what was in his hand. He responded to him and watched him leave.
When I got into the house, I saw clearly that it was a box of cold cream.
[Wow, that's quite romantic.] Jiang Tang teased in her space.
"I don't even know when he bought it." Meng Sining replied.
"I think they want to give you a surprise. I've always said that your official match is pretty good, and you know how to love your wife. Is everything going well over there? Can you come back tomorrow?" Jiang Tang asked.
[They said I'm fine and can leave, but the male lead is injured.] Meng Sining replied.
Jiang Tang and Huo's butt were burned. They stood up suddenly and sat down again. "How could I have forgotten about this? The hero and heroine had just established their relationship not long ago. He was indeed injured. They only said that he was injured during a mission. So it happened here."
Meng Si Ning asked curiously: [Then people from his hometown came and learned about his discovery of his biological father?]
Jiang Tang replied: [Yes, after people back home learned he had found his biological father, they all tried to establish connections with him, causing him a lot of trouble. How did you know?]
"I went there today and heard them notifying the people in Gu Jingshen's hometown." Meng Si Ning said to Jiang Tang in the space.
[In fact, the heroine also went there. She happened to meet Gu Jingshen's adoptive mother in the hospital. Gu Jingshen's adoptive mother, who was not related to her in any way, never liked her son. She only regarded him as a cash cow. After learning that he was injured, she didn't feel much distress, but knew that there would definitely be a pension, so she came reluctantly. After she came, she saw that Gu Jingshen had a partner, and she didn't feel the same way about the heroine. They had already discussed it in their hometown to introduce her niece to Gu Jingshen, so that they could be permanently tied to this cash cow. She originally planned to send him a telegram to ask him to come back, but the telegram was not sent and he was injured.] Jiang Tang narrated in detail.
"Why didn't the Gu family come? Why did Xia Qiu, who had just established a relationship with him, go?" Meng Si Ning asked doubtfully.
[Who in the Gu family do you think will serve Gu Jingshen? ] Jiang Tang asked back.
Meng Si Ning shrugged. "That's right. In that family, only Old Man Gu and Commander Gu Rong are fond of Gu Jingshen. One of them is old, and the other is busy with work. Was it Old Man Gu who notified Xia Qiu?"
[Xia Qiu heard his father and my father talking about Gu Jingshen’s injury. After knowing this, he went to find Old Master Gu. He came here and took care of Gu Jingshen meticulously for half a month. Later, Old Master Gu called and learned that people from Zaozhuang had also come. After Gu Jingshen was discharged from the hospital, he asked him to take the adoptive mother back to Liang City. He told her about Gu Jingshen’s life experience. Old Master Gu also investigated Gu Jingshen’s situation in his hometown and learned that the adoptive parents had abused Gu Jingshen a lot. He didn’t like him very much and planned to give them some money so that Gu Jingshen would break off relations with them. The adoptive mother had always treated Gu Jingshen as a cash cow, and now that he saw that his biological father was powerful and rich, she would not let go. She treated Gu Jingshen very well, saying that he had suffered a lot since he was a child. In short, she didn’t want money, she wanted people.] Jiang Tang finished speaking in one breath.
Meng Si Ning tutted twice. "His adoptive mother is very smart and has a long-term perspective."
[It's no wonder that she's difficult to deal with. The heroine suffered a lot of grievances at her hands during the first one or two years after getting married. No, she started to suffer grievances from the moment they met. In order to pave the way for her niece, Gu Jingshen compared her niece with Xia Qiu every day during the half month he was in the hospital. Later, when he arrived at the compound and knew the identity of Gu Rongchang, he wanted his niece to marry him, and lied that they had arranged a marriage for Gu Jingshen in his hometown. How could Gu Jingshen not understand the mind of his adoptive mother? If he went back, his adoptive mother would have some way to make him marry her niece. So this is why Gu Jingshen and Xia Qiu got married so quickly. Uh... I remember it was winter, either this year or next year.] Jiang Tang added.
[It’s probably this year.] Meng Sining responded.
Jiang Tang shuddered at the thought of Xia Qiu and Gu Jingshen's wedding. It was at their wedding that she and Zhang Hexi had gotten into trouble. [Xia Qiu is getting married, I won't be attending. I don't know if Zhang Hexi has found a partner yet.]
[Did I go there in the book?] Meng Sining asked.
"You went. You knew Gu Jingshen, and you were Lu Cheng's girlfriend, so you had a double relationship. How could you not go? But back then, I, ahem, not the original owner's, was the one who got everyone's attention. No one paid attention to you," Jiang Tang said with a smile.
"Oh, right. Does the book mention Lu Cheng's leader? His surname is Zhang, but I don't know his specific name. I always feel like he's hostile to Lu Cheng." Meng Si Ning asked doubtfully.
Jiang Tang shook her head. "I don't really care about that. Being in the military district is no different from the workplace. Lu Cheng is so outstanding, some petty leaders might think their subordinates are better than them. How could they possibly like him? Lu Cheng should be able to handle it. Why, are you already feeling bad for him just after we started dating?"
"Don't tease me, I just find it strange. In the military district, I have a powerful soldier under my command. He behaves differently when the leader is unhappy." Meng Si Ning explained.
[Give Lu Cheng a heads-up.] Jiang Tang suggested.
[I said it, and he seems to know.] Meng Sining replied.
"That's it," Jiang Tang said.
Meng Si Ning felt that he was making a big deal out of nothing. Maybe that was what Jiang Tang had said. Their relationship was different now, so there was more attention.
[When will you be back?] Meng Sining asked.
"If I'm not going back tomorrow, I'll go the day after tomorrow. I want to see the reaction here after the tea is put on the shelves." Jiang Tang replied.
[Okay. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to pack up some food this time. The blood sausage here is really delicious.] Meng Si Ning said regretfully.
[Oh, I like it too. Woohoo, why not?] Jiangtang also lamented.
"With Lu Cheng accompanying me, I don't have a chance. Next time, next time, I'll come here again." Meng Si Ning said.
[That's right, you guys are in a long-distance relationship.] Jiang Tang sighed.
"There's nothing wrong with long-distance relationships. Distance creates beauty." Meng Sining said optimistically.
[The key is that the foundation of your relationship hasn't been firmly established yet.] Jiang Tang reminded.
"Our main focus is on expressing feelings through letters." Meng Sining said with a smile.
[Shit...] Jiang Tang teased.
