"Stop flattering me. Hurry up and eat. Once you're done, get in the car and we're leaving." Ji Xingguo ladled a large bowl of rice into his bowl and also scooped a bowl for Ji Wanmei, making sure she ate it.
There wasn't much good food for her on the train, and she was a picky eater. If she didn't get enough to eat here, she would have to go hungry on the train.
Ji Xingguo's concern for his daughter was almost the same as that of an elderly mother.
Lei Tingjun, who was behind, seemed to be deep in thought after hearing the conversation between Ji Wanmei and her father.
He thought he roughly understood why Ji Wanmei brought her father over.
She wanted her father to come and see for himself what he was doing, to get to know him again, and to gradually change his opinion of him.
Lei Tingjun had no idea what Ji Wanmei had taken her father to see at the construction site. By the time he noticed them coming, they had left shortly after.
But this time, Lei Tingjun clearly felt that Ji Xingguo's hostility and anger towards him were not as intense as they had been at East China University.
Although Ji Xingguo still refused to accept his sincerity and initiative, and spoke with displeasure, in general, this time, at least he did not drive Lei Tingjun away again.
Yes, it was only then that the Thunder Army realized what was happening.
If Ji Xingguo still refused to allow him to meet Meimei, when he chased him to the train station, Ji Xingguo should have been furious and chased him away instead of letting him follow them all the way, allowing him to go into the same restaurant with them to eat, and saying those suggestive things to Ji Wanmei.
Lei Tingjun pondered for a moment and instantly understood Ji Wanmei's good intentions.
His eyebrows were always so clever and quick-witted; no matter how big the problem was, it seemed that she could solve it easily.
Lei Tingjun's eyes were gentle as he looked up at Ji Wanmei.
Ji Wanmei's gaze passed over her father's shoulder and she saw Lei Tingjun watching her. Finally, she gave him a faint smile.
When she smiled, Lei Tingjun felt all obstacles and setbacks vanish like smoke; all he could see was that gentle smile.
The two men, separated by two long tables and the burly Ji Xingguo, silently conveyed their feelings for each other through their eyes.
The sweltering air seemed to become sweeter because of their silent smiles as they looked at each other.
Just like the two bottles of orange-flavored soda that Ji Wanmei bought, which were sweet and sour.
Ji Xingguo coughed heavily, tapped the plate with the tip of his chopsticks, and solemnly reminded, "Eat quickly, or you'll miss your train."
"Oh." Ji Wanmei lowered her head and ate a few bites of rice.
While the father and daughter were eating, Lei Tingjun had already quickly finished his beef noodles that night.
When he paid the bill, he also paid for Ji Wanmei and the others' food.
Not only that, he also specially asked the owner to pack up a portion of their braised beef to give to Ji Wanmei and the others when they left.
Lei Tingjun knew that Ji Wanmei didn't like eating the boxed meals on the train, so she always brought her own food when she took the train.
I don't know if she brought it this time, but Lei Tingjun just tasted this braised beef and it was pretty good. Braised food doesn't spoil so easily on the train, so he bought one for Ji Wanmei as well.
After doing all this, Lei Tingjun got up.
As Lei Tingjun passed Ji Xingguo's desk, he stopped and said in a deep voice, "Director Ji, thank you for your advice and reminder. Rest assured, I will definitely work hard and diligently. In two years, I, Lei Tingjun, will definitely achieve something and let you see that I am not just talking big or lying."
"Besides Meimei, I will never date another woman in my life. I will wait for Meimei to graduate. I hope that in two years, I can show you a Leitingjun worthy of your approval. I hope that by then, you will no longer object to me being with Meimei."
"I wish you a safe and pleasant trip to Yunnan. I won't bother you any longer."
Lei Tingjun bowed deeply to Ji Xingguo and bid farewell to Ji Wanmei with his eyes.
He turned around and walked out of the inconspicuous little restaurant.
