With his daughter cooking, Gu Tinglin invited Counselor Si to the study to drink Pu'er tea, "Aning is a good cook, we just need to sit and wait for the food."

Counselor Si's eyes saw through too much, and he envied, "Top-grade Pu'er, it must be given by my daughter again."

Gu Tinglin smiled, "How long have we not sat down to leisurely taste tea?"

The two talked in the study, and Jiang Ning was busy in the kitchen, and soon the meal was ready.

It was a simple meal, but it was still thoughtful.

Counselor Si was from Hunan Province, and Jiang Ning specially made blood duck, with plenty of chili, ginger and garlic, and the taste was extremely overbearing.

It was really nothing to say, Counselor Si had not eaten it for a long time, and he swallowed his saliva when he smelled the taste.

No wonder Mr. Gu is so content with his daughter, because his daughter not only helps him in the revival of Chinese civilization, but also has impeccable cooking skills.

This meal is not better than the banquet, and it fully considers the taste of Staff Officer Si, which shows that Jiang Ning is very attentive.

Staff Officer Si was very satisfied with the meal, and couldn't help but sigh again about what Huacheng had lost because of her departure.

Thinking of the fire boxes piled on the transport ship, he couldn't help but speak again, "Mr. Gu, does our previous agreement still count?"

Gu Tinglin pretended to be confused, "What agreement?" Staff Officer Si

didn't intend to let him go, "We both have daughters, and Si Min is gone..."

Thinking of his daughter, he suddenly choked and couldn't continue.

Gu Tinglin was filled with emotion and turned to look at Jiang Ning, "Aning, I have made an agreement with your uncle Si that if I get married and have children one day, we will recognize each other as godparents if they are of the same sex. Are you willing?"

At that time, he had just broken up with Song Yaling and was deeply in the pain of losing his child and his lover. He did not consider getting married in the future, let alone having children, so he agreed casually.

It was just a joke, but now Counselor Si asked for it to be fulfilled.

Gu Tinglin gave the choice to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning said nothing, filled a glass of wine and handed it over, "Godfather, I hope you can live a long life, and Huacheng and Fengcheng will flourish together."

Counselor Si was stunned. He did not expect her to be so straightforward.

He took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, "Okay, okay, from today on I have another daughter."

Gu Tinglin also raised his glass, "Old Si, Aning has a reckless personality, so it is inevitable that she will not do things well. I hope you can take care of her more in the future."

The atmosphere at the table became lively, and it took more than an hour to finish the meal.

Both of them were very happy, but they could not help but feel sad as they were about to leave.

Natural disasters and the end of the world are unpredictable. The two cities are thousands of miles apart, and no one knows whether they will have the chance to meet again in this life.

They chatted happily with one glass after another, and their cheeks were slightly tipsy.

The person who came to pick up Counsel Si arrived, and Gu Tinglin was a little drunk, "Aning, see your uncle Si off."

Jiang Ning cleaned up the table and carried a gift bag to see Counsel Si out.

There was a breeze at the gate of the compound, and the drunkenness of Counselor Si was dispersed. He looked at her with a serious look, "Aning, if you have the opportunity to choose again, and all the things you care about do not exist, will you stay in Huacheng?"

Jiang Ning already had the answer in her heart, "Uncle Si, in fact, no matter where you go, as long as you have roots in your heart, what you will produce is the fruit of China, and the stars will ignite the prairie, isn't it more brilliant?"

They both knew that the recognition of relatives at the dinner table was just a bargaining chip.

Counselor Si represented Huacheng, and he must have come from thousands of miles away to fight for benefits, and it would be beneficial for her to have this identity.

Hearing his answer, Counselor Si felt regretful, but did not force it.

"We will leave Fengcheng tomorrow. I hope we will have the chance to meet again."

Staff Officer Si looked at Jiang Ning, his serious expression showing a hint of tenderness. "The road you have chosen is not easy to walk. Be careful of the thorns and storms on the road."

Jiang Ning understood the hidden meaning in his words. "Thank you. The rainbow will be more beautiful after the wind and rain."

After watching him leave, she turned back.

Gu Tinglin changed his slightly tipsy state and sat relaxed. "Is your Uncle Si gone?"

Jiang Ning nodded. "You asked me to see him off so that he could ask?"

"Your Uncle Si is not easy. Since he has come from thousands of miles away, try not to leave with a knot in your heart."

Jiang Ning didn't think so. "I don't think Uncle Si will let you go easily."

It's not so easy to get rid of someone who can sit in the position of a big boss in Huacheng's military. If Fengcheng doesn't want to belong to Huacheng, it must be prepared to be bitten hard.

Gu Tinglin is very satisfied with her delicacy. "Aning, you have really grown up."

As early as when he asked to recognize Jiang Ning as his goddaughter, he had already seen through the tricks of Staff Officer Si.

He has the grace to tolerate others, as long as he doesn't go too far.

At night, Doudou came back under the moonlight. She looked up and saw the scattered stars in the sky, shining like gems.

Qin Mu sent her back.

They had been apart for too long and together for too short a time, and neither of them knew what to say.

Unlike when they were young, they didn't have so many worries and concerns.

Qin Mu took a deep breath, but he was still so nervous that his palms were sweating.

He was walking very fast, but he still walked the way back quickly.

He was leaving tomorrow, and if he didn't say some things, he might never have the chance to say them again.

He wiped the sweat from his palms, and then suddenly grabbed Doudou's wrist.

Doudou reacted instinctively and threw him over his shoulder.

Qin Mu reacted quickly, a little clumsily but still managed to avoid it.

Whether in childhood or now, Doudou has a soft and cute face, but it is actually a false appearance. She is so strong that it is scary.

This is the result of Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning's training.

But Qin Mu is no longer the weak chicken of the past. He has grown up and become an adult.

No matter in the past or now, he has a mouth. "Doudou, I, I like you."

Doudou's mind is blank.

How to say it, in fact, in her heart, she regards Qin Mu as a friend, the only friend.

But it is not that she knows nothing about the relationship between men and women.

When they met again in Fengcheng, Qin Mu came to see her several times.

Although he didn't say it directly, Doudou was very familiar with the look in his eyes when he looked at her. Her brother couldn't help himself when he looked at his sister-in-law.

She vaguely knew what Qin Mu meant.

Under the moonlight, Doudou clenched her fists slightly, and it took a long time for her to calm down. Her voice was still sweet, "Brother Xiaomu, thank you for liking you."

Qin Mu was about to speak, but she said, "But in my heart, you will always be Brother Xiaomu."

The moonlight was dim, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

But it was probably sad.

Because Doudou didn't know how much effort Qin Mu had put in to fight side by side with her.

She was his motivation.

It was Qin Mu who took the initiative to apply to come to Fengcheng.

This is the most hopeful place to find her.

In fact, it was successful.

When he saw Doudou, he felt his heart was about to jump out.

When she grew up, she looked exactly like the girl who had appeared in his dreams countless times.

But she rejected him calmly.

"Doudou, why?"
