Sun Zhou made up his mind that when he got back, he would tell his brothers that as soon as they got on the bus, they would take advantage of Gu Zhiyuan's inattention and snatch the lunchbox.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't know Sun Zhou well, but with a quick glance, he knew what Sun Zhou was up to.
After thinking for a moment, he pulled Xu Ningyan out of the train station.
There wasn't much of a person outside at the moment. After finding a slightly secluded spot, Gu Zhiyuan opened the lunchbox and his eyes lit up when he saw the braised pig's trotters, braised pork intestines, and pig's stomach.
He felt unwell in the morning and didn't eat much.
Just in case something happened on the way, they all brought dry food.
I still had a few large steamed buns in my bag, so I took them out to try them out first, otherwise they would definitely be gone when I got back.
Seeing that Gu Zhiyuan wanted to eat but didn't have chopsticks, Xu Ningyan found it amusing. She pretended to just remember and took out a pair of chopsticks from her spatial storage and handed them to him: "Eat it while it's hot. This can't be kept for long. You should finish it today."
Gu Zhiyuan ate heartily, too busy to speak, only nodding.
He quickly ate two large steamed buns with braised pig's trotters and intestines, then peeled an egg and threw it into his mouth. Gu Zhiyuan looked up and saw Xu Ningyan watching him eat with a loving expression. He recognized that expression; Xu Ningyan always had that expression when watching his lackey eat.
Suddenly, he choked, and the egg yolk got stuck in his throat.
Gu Zhiyuan quickly turned his face away and desperately swallowed the egg yolk, tears welling up in his eyes.
Xu Ningyan happened to see the tiny tear at the corner of her eye.
Xu Ningyan was deeply shocked.
What's wrong with this guy? My cooking skills aren't good enough to make him cry, are they?
Or was it that the big shot was reluctant to leave him, and his true feelings were revealed?
Oh dear, this is so embarrassing. Although she can't accept the big boss's feelings, seeing him like this makes her feel strangely happy. What's going on?
The usually composed and steady boss suddenly revealed this vulnerable expression, along with the slightly reddened corners of his eyes and a hint of tears, causing Xu Ningyan's lustful heart to beat a few beats faster than usual.
Although she quickly calmed down, Xu Ningyan's heart still softened a little: "Brother Gu, sigh, we'll definitely see each other again in the future! Who knows, in a few years, I might be able to go to the capital to see you! There's still a long way to go, it's not like we can't see each other again, right?"
I never expected the big boss to be so sentimental! She really didn't understand him at all! Xu Ningyan made a self-criticism.
Gu Zhiyuan didn't know why Xu Ningyan's tone had softened all of a sudden, and her words even hinted that she might be going to the capital.
He seized the opportunity, his deep eyes fixed on Xu Ningyan as if trying to etch her into his mind: "Then it's a deal! If you have the chance in the next two years, come visit me in the capital! I'll be waiting for you there—"
The last sentence was profound and deeply moving.
Xu Ningyan's heart skipped a beat. This big shot, a rich, handsome, and powerful one at that, looking at you like that, who wouldn't be tempted? They'd be dead.
Gu Zhiyuan seemed afraid that Xu Ningyan would refuse, so he raised his wrist to look at his watch. "It's time to get in the car, so don't see me in! You should go to work too, I'm going in!"
Xu Ningyan was afraid that if the big shot looked at her like that again, she would really fall for him.
He nodded hurriedly, waved to Gu Zhiyuan, and then turned around to find his bicycle.
She rode her bike back, and after riding quite a distance, she looked back and saw Gu Zhiyuan standing there, waving at her...
As Xu Ningyan's figure disappeared from sight, Gu Zhiyuan's expression turned serious, and his previously gentle aura suddenly turned icy.
The subordinate who had secretly followed behind, hoping to see what was going on, felt a chill run down his spine and hurriedly tried to retreat.
It was too late. Gu Zhiyuan gave him a cold look and said, "After you return to the capital, write a thousand-word self-criticism!"
Ignoring the groans of his subordinates, he carried his lunchbox back to his office.
"Get ready, let's go to the station and board the train!"
At a command, everyone stopped joking and immediately became serious.
They walked through the staff passage, and even if someone saw them, seeing that there were soldiers in green uniforms with real guns in the group, no one dared to ask a question.
Because there were many of them and they were afraid of something going wrong along the way, they chartered an entire carriage, with people taking turns guarding the front and back of the carriage to prevent strangers from getting close.
After getting into the car, Lu Kai and the others were separated and guarded, with two or three people watching over each of them so that they could immediately suppress any unusual behavior.
The journey to the capital by train will take a full day and a night, and it won't be peaceful. They need to be highly vigilant, otherwise, if something goes wrong along the way, it could be a major accident.
Therefore, everyone involuntarily became more vigilant and stopped joking.
But when she saw the lunchboxes that Gu Zhiyuan had placed on the table, she would unconsciously swallow her saliva.
Gu Zhiyuan, Sun Zhou, and the captain of the local garrison who came to help escort the train analyzed the situation and made arrangements for the next step. They also met with the train conductor and police officers who had come after receiving the news at the junction of the carriages to understand the situation and made their request for cooperation.
The train conductor and police officers naturally agreed without hesitation.
After exchanging information about the general situation on the train, Gu Zhiyuan had a better understanding of the situation and made some adjustments to his plans and arrangements.
After finishing all that and returning to their seats, they saw everyone staring longingly at the lunchboxes on the table and the large jar of pickled cucumbers.
It was lunchtime, and everyone had dry rations in their hands. They would take a bite of their rations, glance at their lunchboxes, and savor the faint aroma of meat.
Gu Zhiyuan was both annoyed and amused, and pushed the lunchbox forward.
Sun Zhou immediately snatched it with a big smile. As soon as the lid of the lunchbox was lifted, the whole carriage was filled with the aroma of meat.
The people in the next carriage were slightly agitated by the smell, wondering whose meat was so tempting. But when they looked up and saw the soldiers guarding the carriage door, they obediently sat down again.
There's a lot of stuff, but there are also a lot of people. At most, each person can only get a bite.
Sun Zhou counted the number of people, took a small knife, and cut the meat and pig's trotters into small pieces. He even cut each egg into eight pieces, striving to ensure that everyone could taste it and have a fair share.
The soldiers wanted to refuse, but when they smelled the delicious aroma, they couldn't bring themselves to say no, so they shamelessly took a bite.
One bite of the meat and everyone raved about it; then a bite of pickled cucumber, and it was simply divine.
Unfortunately, it was gone in just two bites.
Even the gravy from the braised meat at the bottom of the lunchbox was scraped clean by people dipping their steamed buns in it.
Gu Zhiyuan was thankful that he had tasted a little before the train departed; otherwise, they probably wouldn't have left him a single drop of soup.
Xu Ningyan had no idea that the people on the bus almost came to blows over a little bit of braised pork gravy.
I rode my bike into the department store, and just as I entered the office and was about to grab my thermos to get some water, I bumped into Sister Yang. She saw Xu Ningyan and looked at me with a shocked expression: "Little Xu, what are you doing at work?"
Xu Ningyan was also shocked: "Sister Yang, where should I go if I'm not going to work?"
