Zheng Tiansen drove very fast all the way.
When they finally arrived at the army, he asked Xiao Jiang to park the car and went to the cafeteria.
Although it was not time for dinner yet, he could not wait until then and just wanted to see Linglong right away.
When he came to the cafeteria, he saw a cook soldier and asked him to help him call Linglong out.
"Linglong, Captain Zheng is here to see you."
No one was surprised that Zheng Tiansen suddenly came to find Linglong, and they even smiled kindly.
Linglong already wanted to know Mingqi, so she was no longer shy.
As soon as she saw Zheng Tiansen, she spoke first. "Brother Zheng, I have something to tell you."
Zheng Tiansen swallowed the words he was about to say. "Okay, go ahead."
"Brother Zheng, Liu Baogen is no longer in the army, and I've settled down. I think we don't need to pretend to be in a relationship anymore. It's good for you, too."
Zheng Tiansen felt like he had been hit hard. Looking at Linglong, he was a little flustered. "Linglong, is it because of Sister Meiqin? I can explain. We are not what you think. She is the fiancée of my deceased brother."
Linglong was shocked. She didn't expect that Wang Meicen and the Zheng family had such a connection.
However, it should be true that Wang Meicen likes Zheng Tiansen.
Despite her shock, her resolve remained unwavering. "Brother Zheng, it's not because of you or Sister Mikoto. I just made up my mind."
"But you clearly said it before, Linglong, I really like you."
Linglong's hands, hanging by her side, clutched her clothes, but she remained calm: "Brother Zheng, I have no intention of getting married. It will only delay you, and I also have a huge psychological burden. So, it's better for us to separate. If you don't think it's a good idea to announce it now, you can let everyone know later."
At this moment, Zheng Tiansen's heart ached, but when he heard her say "it was a huge psychological burden," even though he was reluctant, he still smiled miserably. "Okay, let's talk about it later." He didn't want to force her.
Maybe, after a while, she would change her mind, he hoped.
"Then I'll continue working. Brother Zheng, you should also go back to work." She smiled.
"good."
As soon as she turned around, the smile on Linglong's face disappeared.
After entering the kitchen, Sister Niu felt that her expression was not right.
"Linglong, why do your eyes look a little red to me?"
Linglong rubbed it with her hand and said, "Maybe something got stuck in it. It's okay."
"I see."
As she said this, she lowered her head to continue working, and a tear fell on the back of her hand.
Zhong Linglong, why are you crying? A good man like Brother Zheng deserves to find a better and more suitable partner.
But I still feel so sad.
Sister Niu felt that Linglong had become much quieter.
Aunt Tong also felt that Linglong had changed a little. She started reading more seriously and for longer periods of time.
If I hadn't reminded myself to go to sleep, I don't know how long this girl would have watched.
Linglong only wished she could read more. She thought that when Brother Zheng felt the time was right and announced it, she would be embarrassed to use these books anymore and would definitely have to return them all. Before that, of course, she had to race against time to read them.
Both of them were in a bad mood, but they tried hard to restrain themselves, not letting people around them notice, and not letting it affect their work.
Wang Meiqi finally arrived in Beijing. After washing and changing her clothes, she took her things and went to the Zheng family.
"Mikoto, you too, why are you bringing anything home? That's so polite."
"Aunt, it's not worth much, it's just a little gift from me."
"By the way, didn't you say you were on a business trip to Tiansen? How was it? Did you meet him?" Zeng Yu asked.
"I see."
"How's Tiansen?"
"Tiansen, you have become more handsome and manly." Wang Meicen smiled.
"Alas, this child, he didn't even bother to come during the Chinese New Year, and he lives so far away that it's inconvenient for me to visit him." Zeng Yu began to sigh when he mentioned his second son.
But soon, she asked something else. "By the way, have you met Tiansen's girlfriend, Linglong?"
Although what her son said was false, she couldn't help but care about him since he really liked the girl.
"Linglong, I see you." Wang Meicen's expression became a little strange.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Zeng Yu was curious and worried.
"Aunt, I don't know what to say. It seems like it's all my fault. Maybe it's because I'm angry that Linglong is unhappy. She seems to have a quarrel with Tiansen."
"Ah! Why? Did something happen?" She became anxious.
"It's nothing, actually. It's still my fault. Linglong and the others were having dinner together, and Tiansen took me away. Maybe that's why Linglong is unhappy."
"Just this little bit?"
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Auntie, please don't blame Linglong."
"Meiqin, Auntie is asking you, tell me the truth, what do you think of Linglong?"
Wang Meiqin considered it for a moment before speaking. "I can't say. He looks enthusiastic, but he's actually quite hard to approach."
Zeng Yu frowned.
After that, Wang Meicen didn't say anything more about Linglong. She mentioned some of her experiences in the army. Most of the topics revolved around Zheng Tiansen, which made Zeng Yu feel better.
When Zheng Tianxin and others arrived, the Zheng family became lively.
Zeng Yu invited Wang Meiqi to have a meal with her, but when the people left, she became worried.
In the past, as long as her son liked it, she didn't care about any other conditions. But now, after hearing Wang Meicen's brief description, she was extremely worried.
What kind of girl does my son like?
She also shared her worries with her husband.
"If it really doesn't work, let's find a chance to meet." Zheng Yu suggested.
"I'd love to see him, but I need the cooperation of my stubborn son."
"How about I give Tiansen a call next time and talk about it."
"Alas, this is the only way. How about we go to a nearby temple some other day and burn some incense and pray. None of our children's marriages have been smooth sailing."
"Comrade Zeng Yu, feudal superstition is unacceptable."
Zeng Yu glanced at her husband. "I'm happy, what's it to you?"
"Forget it, I won't say anything." Fortunately, the situation has improved now. I guess no one will care if I burn incense and worship Buddha. Otherwise, I should just hope that things will get better and better.
Zheng Tiansen didn't know that at home, his mother, who had some feelings for Linglong in the past, now looked down on the two of them.
After leaving Zheng's house, Wang Meiqi prepared some things and wrote a letter, which she mailed to Zheng Tiansen.
The next day, she brought some offerings to Zheng Tianlin's tomb.
"Tianlin, don't look for me in my dreams. You know I didn't mean it. If you are still alive, please bless me. You must be worried about Tiansen too. Don't worry, I will treat everyone in your family well."
She stayed in the cemetery for a long time before turning around and leaving.
