Xunzhou?
She called him so affectionately, no wonder others would misunderstand her relationship with Meng Xunzhou.
Song Shishi was secretly dissatisfied in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
She stepped out of Meng Xunzhou's arms and turned to look at Lin Yue.
"Comrade Lin, we are not close enough to call each other by our first names. From now on, please just call me Comrade Meng. If you call me like that in front of my girlfriend, she will misunderstand you."
Without waiting for Song Shishi to speak, Meng Xunzhou took Song Shishi's hand, stood in front of her, and looked at Lin Yue with a solemn face.
That attitude is as clear as it can be.
Song Shishi was the person he had been waiting for so long, so how could he allow their relationship to become estranged because of such a misunderstanding?
Lin Yue's face turned slightly red and she opened her mouth to explain, but when she opened her mouth, she felt that it would be inappropriate to say anything to Meng Xunzhou at this time.
...
...
So she looked at Song Shishi again and explained, "Sister, I just said something inappropriate, don't take it to heart. There's really nothing wrong between me and Xun... me and Comrade Meng. I just treat him like a brother."
"elder brother?"
Song Shishi walked out from behind Meng Xunzhou.
"Xunzhou and I grew up together, and Aunt Fu treated me like her own daughter. How come I never knew that Aunt Fu had a daughter like you?"
Lin Yue was choked by Song Shishi's words and was speechless for a moment, and the smile on her face became a little stiff.
She didn't expect Song Shishi to refute her so directly, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
Seeing this, Meng Xunzhou spoke again: "Comrade Lin, I'm sorry that I can't help you with what you told me."
Meng Xunzhou then looked at Song Shishi and continued, "I still have something to say to my partner, so I won't keep you here any longer. You know the way out, right? I won't see you off."
After saying this, Meng Xunzhou didn't wait for Lin Yue's response. He took Song Shishi's hand and walked away, talking and laughing.
Song Shishi also didn't want to continue to be entangled with Lin Yue.
In such situations, it is wise to know when to stop.
After all, Lin Yue is Captain Lin's daughter, and Meng Xunzhou is still serving as a soldier under Captain Lin. She doesn't want to put Meng Xunzhou in a dilemma.
Meng Xunzhou brought Song Shishi to his dormitory.
"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming today? If I missed it, wouldn't I be so regretful?"
Song Shishi's eyes fell on the pile of things on the ground at the door. Those were the things she had stuffed into Xu Qiang's arms before. She didn't expect Xu Qiang to send them directly here.
"It's just that I haven't seen you for a few days, so I wanted to come see you and give you a surprise."
Thinking of the purpose of her trip, a smile reappeared on Song Shishi's face.
She took out the appointment letter from her bag and handed it to Meng Xunzhou: "Look, I've been appointed as the team leader of the translation department!"
Meng Xunzhou took the appointment letter, looked at it carefully, and a happy smile appeared on his face: "Great! I knew you could do it. You are so outstanding, this is what you deserve."
"It's all thanks to Mr. Xie's promotion that Mr. Xie can still take care of me."
Meng Xunzhou raised his hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and said worriedly: "I will accompany you to visit Mr. Xie's home some other day as a way to thank him. But you have to be more careful in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After all, no matter where you are, there are always some jealous people."
"Okay. I understand. I'll pay attention."
Meng Xunzhou took Song Shishi to the cafeteria to eat, attracting many soldiers to watch the fun.
Song Shishi was shy to begin with, so after dinner she prepared to go home.
Meng Xunzhou looked at the sky and said, "It's so late, I'll take you back."
Song Shishi wanted to refuse, but before she could say anything, Meng Xunzhou said "Wait a minute" and ran away, leaving Song Shishi alone in the dormitory.
Song Shishi hadn't waited in the dormitory for long before Meng Xunzhou came back.
Back at the courtyard, Song Shishi stood at the gate of the house, watching Meng Xunzhou's receding back. She quickly chased after him and called out to him.
"Xunzhou!"
Her voice was particularly clear in the quiet alley.
Meng Xunzhou turned around, and his outline was particularly clear under the moonlight.
Song Shishi trotted over.
"What's wrong?" Meng Xunzhou turned around and looked at her.
"Tomorrow...are you free tomorrow? Do you want to come to the courtyard for dinner?"
Meng Xunzhou's eyes lit up: "I am free, of course I am free."
He reached out and tidied up Song Shishi's hair that was messed up by the wind, "Then I'll come over early tomorrow morning."
…
Early the next morning, after Song Shishi made breakfast, she prepared to open the door of the house so that Meng Xunzhou wouldn't have to knock on the door when he came.
But as soon as she opened the door, she saw a man standing at the gate of the courtyard next to the old Chinese doctor.
He was a middle-aged man wearing a dark gray Mao suit and holding a small package in his hand.
When Song Shishi looked over, the man happened to look over there as well.
"Hello."
Song Shishi nodded slightly and greeted politely.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Hello, I'm the new neighbor. My name is Gu Mingyuan. Please take care of each other in the future."
His voice was gentle and polite, with a hint of indescribable charm.
Gu Mingyuan's temperament is quite like that of a teacher.
Song Shishi nodded, "Okay."
"That's right."
Just as Song Shishi was about to go back, she heard Gu Mingyuan say, "This is the snack I made today. Do you want to try it with your family?"
As he spoke, Gu Mingyuan took a few steps towards her.
"Um...thank you."
Song Shishi hesitated for a moment, but still walked over and took it.
"I heard that you are working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs now?"
Gu Mingyuan continued to ask.
Song Shishi frowned slightly, "How do you know?"
Gu Mingyuan should have just moved into their alley. Today was just the first time she and Gu Mingyuan met, and this guy even knew where she worked.
"Oh, my father also used to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It's not hard to guess from the way you're dressed."
Gu Mingyuan looked calm and pointed at the uniform Song Shishi was wearing.
Song Shishi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe too many things have happened recently and her nerves are too tense.
"I see."
"If you are free in the afternoon, you can bring your family to sit with me."
Gu Mingyuan pointed to his yard and said, "I have collected a lot of foreign books, maybe you will be interested. I also made a lot of snacks, and I will invite Mr. Qin to come over as a guest."
The Mr. Qin that Gu Mingyuan mentioned is the old Chinese doctor who saved Zheng Peilan twice.
"Shishi!"
Song Shishi originally wanted to say that she would have to go back and ask her mother before she could get an answer, but before she opened her mouth, Meng Xunzhou's voice came from the entrance of the alley.
She looked back and saw Meng Xunzhou, wearing casual clothes, walking towards her against the light.
Meng Xunzhou walked to Song Shishi's side, and his eyes naturally fell on Gu Mingyuan.
"Who is this?"
"Oh, this is our new neighbor, Mr. Gu Mingyuan."
After Song Shishi made a brief introduction, she immediately turned to Gu Mingyuan and introduced him, "Mr. Gu, this is my boyfriend, Meng Xunzhou."
"Nice to meet you." Gu Mingyuan nodded slightly, "I heard that Comrade Meng is a soldier?"
Originally, based on Gu Mingyuan's explanation, Song Shishi thought it was reasonable for Gu Mingyuan to know where she worked.
But at this time, Gu Mingyuan actually knew that Meng Xunzhou was in the army.
The key point is that he said "heard".
This is very intriguing.
Song Shishi had to be on high alert.
"Yes." Meng Xunzhou stood up straight. "What does Mr. Gu do for a living?"
"I teach in a middle school." Gu Mingyuan smiled.
"I wonder which middle school Mr. Gu works for?"
Although Meng Xunzhou's tone was calm, his eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could see through Gu Mingyuan.
"Since Comrade Song has guests at home today, please come visit me another day."
Gu Mingyuan still looked gentle and elegant, as if nothing could shake his emotions.
However, he did not answer Meng Xunzhou's question.
After Gu Mingyuan's figure disappeared through the courtyard gate, Meng Xunzhou held Song Shishi's hand tightly and turned around to walk back.
It was not until they entered the main courtyard that Meng Xunzhou lowered his voice and reminded, "Stay away from this Mr. Gu in the future."
"You also noticed that something was wrong with him?" Song Shishi asked in surprise.
