After hearing Yu Sui say this, Xiao Nian felt much more at ease and was more energetic for the afternoon classes.
After school, Yang Niannian was afraid that Lu Shishen would wait too long, so she trotted all the way to the school gate. When she saw that he was already waiting there, she felt a little sorry for him.
"You've been waiting for a long time, right? It's so windy here, why don't you find a place sheltered from the wind to wait?"
Lu Shishen tucked her collar in and said, "It's okay, I'm not cold."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and nodded towards the school gate.
Yang Niannian turned her head and saw Zheng Xinyue coming with Yu Sui and Xiao Nian.
Zheng Xinyue yelled.
"Niannian, as soon as you saw Brother Lu, you automatically blocked out the outside noise. I almost lost my voice from shouting behind you."
Yang Niannian was embarrassed, "I didn't hear it."
Zheng Xinyue wasn't angry at all and just joked.
"You value women over friendship."
Yang Niannian cleared her throat, quickly changed the subject, and introduced Lu Shishen and Xiao Nian.
Xiao Nian opened his mouth and said, "Hello, Brother Lu," just like a primary school student meeting his teacher.
Zheng Xinyue laughed so hard that she fell over. Usually, Xiao Nian seemed to be sensible and mature, but in front of Lu Shishen, he was like a little child.
Xiao Nian felt even more embarrassed by her smile and his face turned red.
Lu Shishen looked normal and even said a few polite words.
"Thank you for your help during Nian Nian's stay at school. I have always wanted to treat you to a meal. Today is a rare day that I have time, so let's have a meal together."
Yang Niannian glanced at Lu Shishen quietly. She usually didn't seem to like talking much and wasn't very sociable, but she didn't expect that he was quite good at speaking polite words.
Xiao Nian swallowed and wanted to respond, but he didn't know what to say.
He felt that Lu Shishen had an aura of authority without being angry. Without saying anything, just standing here, he exuded a solemn and dignified feeling.
No wonder Nian Nian is so brave and not afraid of ghosts. It is most likely that she was trained with Lu Shishen.
Compared to Xiao Nian, Yu Sui is much better.
Many of his relatives and elders are leaders. He has grown up with this kind of aura and has become accustomed to it.
"We are all classmates, and we should help each other."
Yu Sui's way of speaking is just like him, clean and gentle like jade.
Yang Niannian took over the conversation, "Stop standing there talking, it's cold, let's go eat!"
"Yes, yes, let's go eat first. I'm hungry." Zheng Xinyue loves the hustle and bustle, so she pulled Yang Niannian and walked in front.
Xiao Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pressure from Lu Shishen was too strong. He didn't know how Nian Nian could survive sleeping in the same bed with such a man.
Think of sympathy for three seconds.
They soon arrived at a place where the sea and sky merged into one.
It was dinner time, the private rooms on the second floor were already full, and there were three tables of guests scattered around on the first floor.
A few people chose to sit in a quiet spot near the window, and the waiter brought the menu.
Yang Niannian took the menu and pushed it in front of Yu Sui and Xiao Nian, "Take a look at what you want to eat."
Yu Sui, "Just watch out for me, I'm not picky about food."
Xiao Nian nodded, "I'm not picky about food either."
Any dish here would cost him several days’ living expenses. He’d be lucky to be able to eat it, so how could he dare to be picky?
Zheng Xinyue took the menu back and said, "Niannian, let's order."
The two of them stretched their heads to look at the menu, ordered a table full of dishes, and even specially added a dish of donkey rolls.
This is a specialty food of Beijing City, and Lu Shishen must try it.
Xiao Nian was a little reserved and didn't say anything, while Yu Sui was more casual and had a brief exchange with Lu Shishen.
Neither of them was talkative, but luckily with Yang Niannian and Zheng Xinyue there, the atmosphere wasn't dull.
After chatting about everything under the sun, Zheng Xinyue started talking about her plans after graduation.
"Brother Lu is going to be transferred to Jing City. After Nian Nian graduates, she will also stay in Jing City to develop. Senior is from Jing City, so he must also develop locally. Xiao Nian, where are you going to develop in the future?"
Xiao Nian glanced at Lu Shishen first, then answered awkwardly, "I have to see what the country assigns me to. I will be where the country assigns me to be."
His family is not well off, so we can’t arrange his future or give him any help. He can only listen to the government’s allocation.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask, "Where do you plan to develop in the future?"
Zheng Xinyue didn't even think about it and said directly, "Of course I will follow Brother Qin. Wherever he goes in the future, I will go there."
Xiao Nian was a little envious, and suddenly became very curious about who exactly Brother Qin was, who could make Zheng Xinyue so devoted to him.
Wouldn’t he be like Lu Shishen, exuding a cold and fierce aura?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but steal a glance at Lu Shishen. Just as his eyes met Lu Shishen's, Xiao Nian's hair stood on end. A stiff smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he quickly shifted his gaze.
The food was soon served, and Zheng Xinyue was not shy, picking up the chopsticks and greeting everyone casually.
"There are no outsiders here, so please don't be polite and eat quickly! I'm starving."
Yang Niannian was also hungry, so she picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Lu Shishen's bowl.
"Try it, the food here is delicious. I've wanted to bring you here for a long time."
There was no special expression on Lu Shishen's face, but there was warmth in his eyes. He tasted the dish that Yang Niannian picked for him and nodded slightly.
“It tastes good.”
Yang Niannian said with a smile.
"I thought it was good! Eat more. I noticed you've lost weight recently."
Lu Shishen helped her roll up her sleeves and said gently, "Don't worry about me, eat it while it's hot."
Yu Sui and Xiao Nian noticed the interaction between the two and were slightly surprised. They didn't expect that Lu Shishen, who looked so cold and indifferent, was so concerned about Yang Niannian.
The interaction between the two is not at all awkward; it looks very natural and harmonious.
Putting aside the cold aura of Lu Shishen, there was nothing wrong with him as a person. He even sat properly when eating and did not look rude at all.
The two of them have different personalities, one quiet and the other active, which makes them a good match.
At this moment, Xiao Nian also believed that Yang Niannian was not coerced. When she was with Lu Shishen, she was obviously happy from the bottom of her heart and her personality directly turned into that of a child.
The group was eating happily when suddenly a sharp female voice was heard.
"Yu Sui."
Several people looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yu Shun and his wife walking towards them arm in arm. The one who spoke was Wu Qingguo.
Yu Sui didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that he met his cousin and his wife twice when he came here.
She pursed her lips and cried out.
"Cousin, cousin's wife."
Wu Qingguo looked at Yang Niannian and asked Yu Sui, "Isn't it this Miss Yang who's treating us again?"
Wu Qingguo was very curious about Yang Niannian's identity. She specially asked someone to investigate Yang Niannian, but no useful information was found. She only knew that Yang Niannian was a military wife, and nothing else was found out.
Yu Shun's eyes met Lu Shishen's. He was stunned for a moment and then looked away as if nothing had happened.
Yu Shun has come into contact with people from all walks of life in his business, many of whom are bosses and leaders, but none of them has the imposing aura of the man in front of him.
The moment they looked at each other, he felt as if he was being stared at by the king of the forest, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.
According to information provided by Yang Huiying, Yang Niannian’s husband is the head of a military regiment.
Although the man in front of her was not wearing a military uniform, he had a straight back, and he exuded an upright and righteous spirit, as well as a biting coldness. His facial features were also very outstanding, which basically matched the identity of Yang Niannian's husband.
Yu Sui didn't notice the change in Yu Shun's expression and answered Wu Qingguo in a calm voice.
"My junior schoolmate and his wife are hosting today, so if you have anything else to do, just go ahead and do it! We're almost done eating."
Not only did Wu Qingguo not leave, he even became interested.
"couple?"
As he spoke, he turned his head to observe Yu Shun's expression.
Yu Shun smiled and put his hand on Wu Qingguo's shoulder, "Let's not disturb them while they're eating. Don't you still want to go shopping for clothes?"
