Jiang Weidong was at a loss. The warm and soft woman in his arms made him unsure where to put his hands. Feeling Lin Wangshu's warm breath on his neck made him feel flustered and uneasy.
Wang Shu is his younger sister. Now that they are both older, they should be more mindful and not be able to hug and cuddle like they did when they were little.
Jiang Weidong reached out to push the person in his arms away, but softened after hearing Lin Wangshu's words. It was the first time she had left home to such a far place, and after so long, she had finally seen her family again. He could understand her excitement. So he patted Lin Wangshu's back and said, "Second brother missed you too."
The soldier on guard saw them pick him up at the door and couldn't help but clear his throat to remind them that there was still a living person standing there.
Jiang Weidong was a little embarrassed, but fortunately Lin Wangshu felt his stiff body and finally let go of him. She felt a little regretful, as Jiang Weidong had trained quite well over the past six months. When she hugged him, he was all hard and muscular. The army really does train people!
Jiang Weidong turned his head to look at the soldier on guard. Although the soldier was still standing at attention with a blank expression and eyes straight ahead, he could feel that there was a look of amusement in his eyes.
"Let's go, your second brother will treat you to hot dry noodles, it's a local specialty."
Jiang Weidong pushed Lin Wangshu forward, and whether he felt guilty or not, he kept emphasizing his status as the second brother.
Lin Wangshu understood, but just smiled at him obediently, "I'll listen to whatever you say."
Something seemed off. Jiang Weidong looked at her suspiciously and asked tentatively, "Then you can have stir-fried pork intestines too?"
Lin Wangshu's smile froze, and she narrowed her eyes dangerously, saying, "Jiang Weidong, do you want to die?"
She finds eating animal organs, especially intestines, disgusting; just hearing about them makes her want to vomit.
Jiang Weidong breathed a sigh of relief and smiled easily, "That's more like you. Your smile just now gave me goosebumps."
Lin Wangshu was somewhat frustrated. Was it really that scary? She had practiced in front of the mirror for a long time, and the results had been verified by He Xiao. Why did he react like this? He really didn't understand romance.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Weidong ordered two servings of hot dry noodles. After they were ready, he took Lin Wangshu's serving and mixed it for her.
Lin Wangshu looked at his practiced manner and asked, "Do you come here often?"
Jiang Weidong nodded, and Lin Wangshu asked again, "Are you alone?"
Jiang Weidong picked up a mouthful of noodles with his chopsticks and shook his head, saying, "No, I'm with someone."
Lin Wangshu absentmindedly stirred the noodles in his bowl, and asked nervously, "With a female comrade?"
Jiang Weidong put down his chopsticks, stared at her, and asked leisurely, "Are you checking up on me?"
Seeing that he had seen through her, Lin Wangshu snorted, "I'm asking for my mother. She told me to keep an eye on you."
"Of course I'm with my comrades. Where am I supposed to meet women?"
Lin Wangshu was relieved and nodded in satisfaction, "Good, keep it up."
"Stay? Stay what? Stay a bachelor for life?" Jiang Weidong thought with amusement.
After they finished eating, Lin Wangshu looked at Jiang Weidong's handsome profile and suddenly said, "Let's take a picture."
Seeing Jiang Weidong's puzzled expression, she suddenly smiled mischievously and reminded him, "This is also what Mom told me to do. It's because someone hid and cried before leaving because we didn't take a family photo. Mom told me to make it up to you."
Jiang Weidong stumbled, coughed awkwardly, and said, "I didn't cry!"
“You can say it’s over, but the photos still need to be taken. I want to send them to my mom so she can feel at ease.”
Jiang Weidong had no choice but to go along with her. When they arrived at the photo studio, the photographer was an old man who, seeing them arrive together, greeted them with a smile: "Young couple, are you here to take wedding photos?"
Jiang Weidong was numb to it all. Although he still didn't understand why people always mistook them for a young couple, he could now handle it calmly. "No, this is my sister. Let's take a picture together."
Lin Wangshu nodded in agreement; for the time being, they would remain siblings.
The old man was a little embarrassed and confused. Why were the brother and sister taking a photo together?
Jiang Weidong didn't understand either, but Lin Wangshu claimed it was to save money, and that An Jie could see two people in one photo, which was very convenient!
The old man didn't understand but respected their decision. He asked them to stand in front of the camera and counted 1, 2, 3. Lin Wangshu only saw a flash of white light before her eyes, and the photo was taken.
Because developing photos takes time, Jiang Weidong paid extra and left his address, asking him to mail them to him.
After leaving the photo studio, Lin Wangshu hummed a song in a good mood and excitedly wanted to take him to a nearby park for a stroll. She had heard He Xiao say that the park had beautiful scenery and was a perfect place for people to go on blind dates.
Jiang Weidong sensed something was amiss and looked at her suspiciously, "Mom didn't tell you these things, did she? Are you doing this on your own?"
Lin Wangshu readily admitted, "My mother really didn't tell me; it was me who wanted to take the picture with you."
Hearing her so blunt, Jiang Weidong's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't know what to say. Lin Wangshu then added, "I look so good today, it would be a shame not to take a picture. You're getting a good deal."
The excuse was a bit clumsy, but Jiang Weidong didn't want to think about it too much. He hurriedly changed the subject, "Your dress really looks good today."
"Is it only the dress that looks good?"
Jiang Weidong tapped her forehead in an annoyed tone, "You're very good-looking too, are you satisfied now?"
Lin Wangshu cried out and rubbed her head, complaining, "Ouch! No way, to make it up to me, you have to use your allowance to buy me a new dress."
Jiang Weidong watched her clutching her head, pretending to be injured, and said helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll buy it for you."
"How can I buy it if you don't know my size?"
"Then tell me." Jiang Weidong was so exasperated by her antics that he had lost his temper.
But Lin Wangshu didn't want to let him off so easily, so she shook her head again, "I don't know either."
Jiang Weidong was amused by her; how could she not know his size? He rubbed his forehead and said, "Then what do you want?"
Lin Wangshu kneaded the skirt in her hand, glancing at him somewhat awkwardly, "You can measure it."
Jiang Weidong was puzzled and asked in confusion, "Measure? How can we measure here? There's no ruler."
Lin Wangshu looked around. The park was quiet and deserted. She stopped and looked at him, her cheeks flushed with a bright red. Her eyes were shy and timid. She mustered her courage and whispered, "You can measure it with your hands."
Jiang Weidong's head exploded with a bang. He wondered if he had misheard, otherwise how could he have heard such absurd words? He swallowed hard, then thought he might have misunderstood, and asked in a hoarse voice, "How do you want me to measure it with my hands?"
“You can feel it to measure,” Lin Wangshu replied in a trembling voice.
