Tangtang, like An'an, loves to eat, so she knows the food in the canteen very well. She took An'an's arm and kept introducing it: "The canteen has spicy hotpot and maocai recently. The spicy hotpot is the best. Let's order a spicy hotpot later."
An An had no problem: "Okay, I want to eat too. I'll order all the specialties in the cafeteria later. I like them all."
Tangtang nodded immediately: "Sure, sure. I think the food in the cafeteria is delicious."
The two were happily discussing and eating in the front, while Wen Zheng and Mo Mo followed quietly behind.
Momo thought about it again and again and finally asked: "Will you leave Beijing for work in the future?"
Wen Zheng shook his head: "I will stay in the research institute here and also be a teacher in the school."
He has long-term plans. If he and An An have a child one day, if he works as a teacher in school, he will have plenty of time to take care of the family and the child, allowing An An to happily do what she likes.
He couldn't bear to let An An be trapped at home and lose the sky that belonged to her.
Momo guessed Wen Zheng's thoughts: "Do you feel wronged?"
Wen Zheng smiled: "I'm not wronged. In fact, I don't have the great ideals like you and Zhou Zhou, and I don't have to achieve certain results in certain fields. My ideal has always been An An. As long as she is happy, everything I do is worth it."
…
In the cafeteria, the two girls hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they had endless things to talk about. When they ate a delicious bamboo shoot, they would marvel for a long time, and then taste each other's drinks, and each thought the other's was more delicious. An An was playful and joking, without any trace of a special forces soldier.
After dinner, An An drank his drink slowly.
Tangtang looked at the time and had to go to afternoon classes again. She reluctantly parted with An'an: "Sister, I'm going home tonight. I want to live with you."
An An had no objection and blinked happily: "Okay, I still need to rest for several days anyway."
Tangtang was reluctant to leave: "It's only been a few days, I want to go home and see you every day."
An An laughed happily: "It's almost there, your wish will come true soon."
Tangtang was a little confused: "Why?"
After all, An An’s identity is different. Even if she is in Beijing, she can’t be seen unless she is on vacation.
An An whispered mysteriously, "Because I'm going to be transferred to another unit. From now on, I can go home for dinner as long as I'm not busy."
Tangtang exclaimed and happily hugged An'an's arm: "That's great, I can go home for dinner every day then."
An An was happy: "I'm afraid Second Aunt will criticize you then, you must study hard in school."
…
After leaving school, An An asked Wen Zheng to go home first, and she went to find Chen Jiaojiao and Su Meng, two childhood friends who grew up together.
Su Meng works as a translator in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She has shed her youthfulness in an instant and is now wearing a slim black suit. She looks capable and energetic.
But when he saw An An, he became lively again, pulling An An and exclaiming: "Ah, you heartless girl, it's been a long time since you came to see us, I thought you had forgotten us."
An An laughed happily: "Isn't it here? Are you and Jiao Jiao okay?"
Su Meng held An An's hand and nodded happily: "Okay, we are all fine here. Jiaojiao has been transferred to Dongcheng now. By the way, she is in charge of your area. If you go to the street office to do business in the future, you can find Jiaojiao."
An An was surprised: "Jiao Jiao is so amazing? Then I will definitely go to her if I have something to do in the future. Let's go to her secretly now and give her a surprise."
Su Meng was so happy: "Okay, okay, but Jiaojiao might get married."
An An was shocked: "Marriage? When did she start dating?"
"I didn't date him myself. My family introduced him to me. He's the son of a colleague of her parents'. He's very well-off and runs his own company."
An An was still shocked. She married early because she and Wen Zheng grew up together and had always had a good relationship. It was a natural thing. But Chen Jiaojiao was still young. How could she be willing to go on a blind date and get married?
The two chatted all the way to find Chen Jiaojiao.
Chen Jiaojiao was also very surprised to see the two of them, especially An An. She felt like she hadn't seen An An for almost a year. She went over to hug An An and kept complaining, "An An, you don't even know how to come back to see us. Do you still have a conscience? Every time I pass by your house, I ask you if you've come back recently."
An An hugged Chen Jiaojiao and smiled: "I'm busy. I came back to see you guys. Let's go to the coffee shop."
Chen Jiaojiao checked the time: "Wait a moment, I'll go ask for leave."
After saying that, he ran off in a hurry to ask for leave.
The three girls went to the nearest U.S. Café together. An An wanted to treat them, but Su Meng rushed to pay: "You are the little sister among us, how can we let you spend money? I will treat you for this meal, and you can treat us later."
An An didn't shy away: "Okay, I'll treat you next time."
She also told them openly that she and Wen Zheng had bought a house and would get married after it was renovated.
Chen Jiaojiao looked at An An in surprise: "An An, are you really going to marry Wen Zheng? When did you two get together? Oh, you didn't even tell me about this. You're not a good friend at all."
Su Meng was not surprised at all: "I said before that Wen Zheng likes An An, and they will definitely be together. An An, really, if you miss Wen Zheng, you will never meet someone who treats you better than Wen Zheng. I think you are the only one in his world."
An An chuckled, "I agree with what you said! I also think Wen Zheng is very good, especially to me. He really dotes on me."
Chen Jiaojiao quickly cupped her hands: "That's great, I wish you and Wen Zheng a long and happy life."
Su Meng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will be your bridesmaid when the time comes."
An An responded: "No problem, what about you, Jiao Jiao? I heard from Su Meng that you are getting married? When?"
Chen Jiaojiao was somewhat helpless: "It should be next year. I originally wanted to wait another two years to get married, but their place is being demolished. If I move my household registration there earlier, I can get more money."
After saying that, he smiled embarrassedly: "An An, do you think I'm particularly tacky?"
An An shook her head: "How could that be? It's all for a better quality of life."
Su Meng said she would not get married: "I am fine being alone. I don't know why, but when I meet boys of the same age, I feel they are still very immature, but when they are older than me, I feel they are a bit greasy. And I prefer living alone. My parents haven't urged me yet. If they do, I will move out and live alone."
Three little girls who grew up together sat in a cafe and chatted for an entire afternoon. They talked about their childhood dreams, interesting things that happened when they were young, and their imaginations of a better life in the future. They also sighed from time to time that they were so lucky to be able to live in the same city.
