Ning Yuan blushed and punched his chest: "Put me down, what if someone sees us!"
Although no one lives on this floor, the staircase is for public use!
Rong Zhaonan raised an eyebrow, speaking with an air of self-righteousness: "What's wrong with your brother carrying your injured cousin downstairs?"
Why is he hugging his wife?
Ning Yuan could only shrug and let him be, casually asking, "You've told me about your mission, is that appropriate?"
As Rong Zhaonan carried her downstairs, he said calmly—
"I have full autonomy in this mission. I know what I can tell you, and I may need your help in the future. You're a member of the Ning family, aren't you?"
Ning Yuan was taken aback, pinched his face, and snorted: "No wonder you told me that you were using me too."
Rong Zhaonan raised an eyebrow: "Likewise, likewise. We should call this comrades helping each other and making progress together."
After going downstairs, Rong Zhaonan let her down to avoid attracting too much attention.
As Ning Yuan walked across the playground, she suddenly noticed that many female students were gathered around something.
She was a little puzzled and looked up.
Then you see a tall figure wearing a white worker's vest and green military pants, carrying a large dog and running around the playground, panting heavily.
The lights on the playground weren't very bright, but that didn't diminish the resolute faces and muscular physiques of the men as they sweated profusely on the field.
It also attracted a group of female college students and envious male college students who pretended to exercise while secretly watching.
After all, these days, it's not easy for anyone to have enough to eat.
He's so tall, standing at 1.9 meters, and so strong and masculine—he truly hits the mark with both men and women.
Everyone was very satisfied with the whole picture.
Aside from the big dog he was carrying... well, the big black wolf was being jostled around so much that its tongue was sticking out.
A large white wolf followed behind, howling angrily as it chased after the tall man's rear end.
Aww, put down my male wolf!
Ning Yuan was speechless; the image of a dinosaur carrying a wolf looked very familiar: "..."
"Looks good? A body full of muscles like stone, tough to take a beating, but unfortunately not agile enough, and the explosive power is not as good as mine, who has practiced Taoist internal arts since childhood."
A voice, devoid of emotion, suddenly rang out.
Ning Yuan glanced at him, speechless: "Does your Chen Chen know that his beloved captain is belittling him behind his back to elevate himself?"
What's with this immature guy being so jealous? He knows perfectly well that she likes pretty boys like him.
Rong Zhaonan said indifferently, "Just telling the truth."
Ning Yuan was too lazy to pay attention to the petty and arrogant man: "Why is Chen Chen carrying Ahei around again? Grandma said that the two of them shouldn't go out!"
Although being assigned a two-bedroom apartment made many teachers at the school envious, it severely limited the activity space for Ahei and Ahbai, who lived in the mountains.
Rong Zhaonan calmly said, "He goes crazy when he misses his mother. He has always been oblivious to people's feelings and can't read their expressions."
Ning Yuan: "...Really...Okay, as long as he won't let Ah Hei and Ah Bai hurt anyone."
She had completely forgotten that Chen Chen was a mama's boy.
Upon arriving at Old Tang's house, Rong Zhaonan immediately took her hand as soon as he entered and placed the bottle of Moutai he had brought on the old wooden table: "This is for Old Tang."
Grandma Xia raised an eyebrow and said, "What brings you here today? You look like you've brought wedding wine?"
Normally, these two little ones are never this affectionate in front of their parents!
Ning Yuan didn't dare tell Grandpa Tang and Grandma Xia about the danger that had happened that day.
She simply lowered her head and coughed lightly: "We've decided to be a real couple."
Now that we've decided to be together, we absolutely have to tell Grandma and Grandpa.
She knew they had always been worried about her and Rong Zhaonan.
Ning Yuan's words instantly made Old Tang, who was smelling Moutai, light up. He pushed up his glasses and couldn't help but laugh: "Really?"
Rong Zhaonan put his arm around Ning Yuan's shoulder and smiled, "Really, we talked for a long time this afternoon and made a decision, so we forgot to eat. Grandpa and Grandma, is there anything left to eat?"
The intimate atmosphere between the two children was completely different from the awkwardness they had shared before.
Old Tang grinned from ear to ear: "Great, great, of course! Please have a seat, I'll go cook some wontons, authentic Shanghai-style wontons, made this afternoon!"
Seeing the two children happy made him feel good, and he quickly invited Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan to sit down.
He quickly went to the flowerpot on the windowsill, picked a few scallions he had grown himself, and went to the kitchen.
Grandma Xia glanced at Rong Zhaonan, then at Ning Yuan.
She suddenly moved closer to Ning Yuan, glanced sideways at Rong Zhaonan, and whispered loudly—
"What, you've decided to just forgive that brat for leaving without saying goodbye and not keep him hanging for any longer?"
Rong Zhaonan: "..."
Ning Yuan gave a dry laugh; the old woman had seen her shed tears for Rong Zhaonan.
She reached out and touched the popsicle box that she had specially ordered to be wrapped in thick cotton batting—
That was used to hold the ice we bought every day, but as the weather got colder, we stopped using it.
“He didn’t really wrong me, it’s just that we have different beliefs. Now he’s willing to listen to me in life, and we’ve talked things out today.”
Grandma Xia, hands on her hips, pursed her lips and said, "Fine, girl, you can decide for now. Men can't be spoiled; rules need to be set!"
As they were talking, two bowls of fragrant wontons were served, each wonton with a skin as thin as paper and about the size of a thumb.
The filling consisted of wild shepherd's purse picked by the school lake, chopped up, minced meat, and various seasonings.
The broth is made by Mr. Tang using minced meat, and the aroma of lard is rich. Adding pepper gives it a fresh and spicy flavor.
It was topped with seaweed, dried shrimp, and shredded egg, and it was piping hot and fresh out of the pot.
The aroma made Ning Yuan swallow hard; a few cookies couldn't satisfy her hunger.
She sat down without ceremony, took a spoon, scooped up some wontons, and put them in her mouth.
Seeing that she was eating with relish, Rong Zhaonan scooped out a few more small wontons for her.
Ning Yuan's big eyes blinked, and she smiled at him.
Old Tang smiled as he watched the two children being so affectionate, feeling incredibly happy: "There's plenty of wontons, Xiao Nan, no need to go without."
It would be good if they truly made up.
Grandma Xia kept her face wrinkled, looking at Ning Yuan and then at Rong Zhaonan.
They stayed until the two finished eating the wontons, then brought Ah Hei and Ah Bai back and left the teachers' dormitory.
The old lady glared at Rong Zhaonan with a stern face, making Rong Zhaonan feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.
But his intuition told him that it was best not to ask the old lady why she was unhappy, otherwise something ominous might happen.
...
The next day, Ning Yuan went to give a statement.
Rong Zhaonan accompanied them, and then drove directly to the airport police station.
There were already quite a few people waiting for him at the entrance of the airport police station.
"Captain!" Old Xu, dressed in plainclothes, smiled at him, stubbed out his cigarette, threw it into the trash can, and led his men forward.
Rong Zhaonan parked the car and looked him up and down: "This Zhongshan suit suits you quite well."
Old Xu tugged at his collar and chuckled, "Nothing looks as good as the captain's leather jacket. I thought I wouldn't see you for a long time! I didn't expect the higher-ups to send me to Shanghai to work for you!"
Rong Zhaonan glanced at the airport: "The Ning family has arrived?"
Old Xu nodded: "The plane will land soon, and it will take a while to clear customs. This time, the leader of the younger generation of the Ning family is here, the eldest son of the Ning family—Ning Bingyu."
