Linglong kept reading and only stopped when she felt hungry.
I looked at my watch and saw that quite a while had passed. Looking at Zheng Tiansen again, he seemed a little unhappy.
"Brother Zheng, you haven't eaten yet, right?"
"Well, are you hungry? Let's eat together."
"What about that thing?"
Zheng Tiansen looked at the middle-aged man in the shop opposite them.
"Comrade, we're going to the dining car to have a meal. Our things are under the bunks. Could you please help take a look?"
The middle-aged man smiled and nodded. "No problem, go ahead."
"Thank you."
"The military and the people are one family, that's how it should be."
Zheng Tiansen then looked at Linglong. "Let's go."
Linglong slung her small bag, smiled and nodded at the middle-aged man, then left with Zheng Tiansen.
They occupied the dining car, where quite a few passengers were sitting in groups of three or four.
"What do you want to eat?" Zheng Tiansen asked.
"I'll just eat something casually." Linglong said shyly.
Zheng Tiansen ordered three dishes, one meat and two vegetable dishes, and asked for two bowls of rice.
The food truck didn't have a wide variety of dishes, and their food arrived quickly.
The two of them ate quietly facing each other, and Linglong rarely even raised her head.
Zheng Tiansen didn't mind and just sat there eating with a smile on his face.
He used to eat very quickly, but to accommodate Linglong, he ate much slower.
By the time the two finished their meal, more than twenty minutes had passed.
Wiping her mouth, Linglong said, "Brother Zheng, let's go back."
"Tuo."
The two stood up and walked back. When they were walking to the connection between the carriages, the train suddenly shook violently. Linglong quickly grabbed something to steady herself.
Behind her, Zheng Tiansen had already supported the car wall and held her in the middle.
As a result, Linglong grabbed his clothes.
There was another "bang" and she lost her balance and bumped into his chest.
It's hard and exquisite, that's the feeling.
"Linglong, are you still okay?" Zheng Tiansen asked worriedly.
Linglong looked up and touched her nose, which was a little sore from the collision. "I'm fine."
"It's okay, let's go back quickly."
The connection between these carriages is shaking too much.
But this time, Zheng Tiansen protected her even more carefully.
Passing by the aisle, an elderly man expressed his feelings.
"This couple has such a sweet relationship."
Linglong blushed a little, but didn't bother to explain that they were not yet a couple.
Zheng Tiansen would not say anything, after all, he had already regarded Linglong as his own.
With a hint of shyness, Linglong returned to her bunk, thanked the man who helped watch her luggage, and then buried her head in reading.
Perhaps because of the help, the middle-aged man felt closer to them.
Seeing Linglong reading a textbook, I couldn't help but ask.
"Are you a high school student?"
With her delicate appearance, she looks like a high school student, which is really deceptive.
Even judging by her age, she is only nineteen years old, and many high school students are indeed around this age.
"No, I've already started working." Linglong replied.
"She just loves to study." Zheng Tiansen helped her explain.
"Loving to study is a habit. Nowadays, many young people are too impatient to study. By the way, where are you going by bus?"
"Let's go to the capital."
"What a coincidence, me too. Are you going home?" He was still unable to judge the relationship between Linglong and Zheng Tiansen.
"Well, I'm going home to visit my family. We're getting married, so I'm going home to meet my parents."
"Oh, this is a great event. Congratulations."
Linglong didn't want to bow her head, and Zheng Tiansen smiled happily. "Thank you."
After a conversation, Zheng Tiansen learned that the middle-aged man was a senior technician in a state-owned enterprise, and he immediately admired him.
Every senior technician is a valuable talent for the country.
Similarly, the middle-aged man also had a strong interest in him, a young and promising military officer.
Fortunately, with the presence of the middle-aged man, Zheng Tiansen and Linglong's relationship did not seem so awkward.
At night, as soon as the lights on the train were turned off, Linglong went to bed on time.
Perhaps it was because of the noise on the train and her nervousness about meeting the Zheng family, she tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep.
Zheng Tiansen was lying on top of her and was very aware of her movements.
"Linglong, can't sleep?" he asked in a low voice.
"It's okay, I'm probably just not used to it, it will be fine in a while."
"If you can't sleep, I can talk to you.
"I'd rather not. It will disturb others' rest."
"We can talk somewhere else."
"I'm really fine, Brother Zheng, you should go to sleep too."
Zheng Tiansen sighed inwardly. "Then let's do it."
She would rather lie here than go somewhere and talk with Zheng Tiansen late at night.
She was still a little nervous about being alone with him.
However, after being disturbed like this, she stopped thinking about it and fell asleep quickly.
Hearing her even breathing, Zheng Tiansen finally felt at ease to sleep.
When Linglong opened her eyes again, she saw Zheng Tiansen sitting in the aisle.
She quickly stood up and smoothed her hair.
"woke up."
"Well, Brother Zheng, I'm going to wash my face."
"Tuo."
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief from her bag, stood up and left.
After she left, the middle-aged man asked Zheng Tiansen curiously.
"You two don't look like a newlywed couple." I just feel like something is odd, and you don't have the sweet and sticky energy of a newlywed couple.
Zheng Tiansen knew it too.
It was already very difficult for him to convince Linglong to agree to marry him, and he couldn't force too much at the moment.
"She and I have only been together for a short time, and I am much older than her. Once we get married, things will slowly change."
"That's true." The middle-aged man thought that many couples got married shortly after they met, and many of them started dating after marriage, so he didn't find it strange.
Linglong came back after washing up. She thought that she would have to stay one more night and meet the Zheng family early tomorrow morning, so she couldn't help but feel nervous again.
"Brother Zheng, I'm meeting your family. Is there anything I should pay attention to?" She didn't care about anything else at this moment and asked directly.
Zheng Tiansen smiled and began to talk about some of his family members’ personalities and interesting stories.
Listening to their conversation, the middle-aged man just smiled and said nothing.
They really were a married couple that he didn't know well. He couldn't help but recall the time when he met his wife and the scene, and his expression became gentle.
Linglong listened carefully to Zheng Tiansen's words.
Seeing her serious look, Zheng Tiansen couldn't help laughing.
"Linglong, you really don't have to be so nervous. My family gets along very well, and they will definitely like you."
On the military side, many people knew about it after the two of them had been gone for a day.
Sister Yuan felt strange when she saw Linglong didn't come to work.
When someone asked Sister Niu, Sister Yuan felt a tightness in her heart when she heard Sister Niu say that Linglong and Zheng Tiansen had gone to Beijing to meet her in-laws.
After work, despite it being late, she found a place to make a phone call.
"What? You said they will be in Beijing soon?" Wang Meicen asked in surprise.
"Yes, I guess the train will be gone in another day.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Meicen's expression became gloomy.
No one from the Zheng family told her about such a big thing, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
