The state-owned restaurant was bustling with people in the afternoon.
The wooden tables and chairs were neatly arranged, and the blue and white porcelain dishes on the table gleamed in the sunlight coming through the windows.
Various propaganda slogans are posted on the walls, full of the unique atmosphere of that era.
Dong Cheng sat in the corner of the restaurant, his brows tightly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and his face was full of helplessness.
He looked at Zhou Xinglan opposite him and slowly explained, "I told Director Zhou a long time ago that I already have someone I like in my heart, so I really can't understand why Director Zhou suddenly arranged for you and me to meet after I came back from catching the human traffickers."
Zhou Xinglan stood up suddenly, her voice trembling with emotion and her eyes slightly reddened: "What happened next? Why didn't you explain it clearly when we first met?"
If it were made clear, and she knew that the person her father introduced to her already had someone in his or her heart, she would definitely not care about him or her!
Dong Cheng looked helpless, spread his hands, smiled bitterly and said, "This matter is my fault for being too confused and slow. At the beginning, I didn't realize that Director Zhou wanted us to meet each other. In addition, the case of the human trafficker was particularly difficult. I was so busy that I didn't take it to heart."
He paused, then continued, "If I hadn't heard the rumors about you and me at the bureau today, I wouldn't have thought about it! As soon as I realized it, I came here to explain it to you."
After listening to Dong Cheng's explanation, Zhou Xinglan clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white from the force, and she glared at Dong Cheng fiercely.
Then he turned around and ran away quickly, leaving behind a trail of hurried footsteps.
Dong Cheng was at a loss, staring at Zhou Xinglan's departing back. He was stunned for a moment, and then heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
Seeing Zhou Xinglan leave angrily, Su Wantang approached Fu Yanxue and asked in a low voice: "Sister Xiaoxue, do you want to go and say hello?"
Fu Yanxue came back to her senses and turned to look at Dong Cheng, only to see that dishes were still being served to his table.
It seems that these were all ordered by the lesbian just now.
Fu Yanxue smiled, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and then she stood up and said elegantly: "Of course I have to go and greet them. That comrade just ordered so many dishes, he can't finish them all by himself."
Fu Yanxue and Su Wantang stood up and walked towards Dong Cheng. Dong Cheng raised his eyes and saw them. A hint of surprise flashed across his face. Then a surprised smile bloomed on his face, and his eyes were shining.
"Sister Xiaoxue! Sister-in-law! What a coincidence!" Dong Cheng stood up and greeted them warmly, but his eyes always stayed on Fu Yanxue.
Fu Yanxue raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a perfect smile: "It's just a coincidence. I saw that you ordered so many dishes. It would be a waste for one person to eat them, so we came to join in the fun."
Having said that, she sat down opposite Dong Cheng with confidence. Su Wantang also sat down, looking back and forth between the two of them with a meaningful smile on her lips.
Dong Cheng scratched his head a little awkwardly, his face flushed like a ripe apple: "I... I was just dealing with something, I think you all should have seen it."
Fu Yanxue raised her eyebrows and deliberately teased: "You really don't know how to be sympathetic to women, and you even let the girl run away with red eyes."
Dong Cheng's expression instantly became serious. He looked directly into Fu Yanxue's eyes and said solemnly, "Sister Xiaoxue, there are some misunderstandings between her and me, but I have just made it clear to her..."
He took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up great courage, and said, "Actually...actually I have always had someone I like!"
Fu Yanxue's heart trembled violently, as if it was grasped by an invisible hand, but her face remained calm and composed.
Then he cleverly changed the subject: "The food is getting cold, let's eat first."
Dong Cheng wanted to say something, but as more and more people came to eat in the state-owned restaurant, the noisy voices made him swallow back what he wanted to say.
Su Wantang took in all the subtle changes between the two of them.
It seems that she has to create some opportunities for them to be alone together.
Su Wantang quickly finished the rice in the bowl, then stood up and pretended to be enlightened: "Oh, Sister Xiaoxue, I just remembered that I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
As she spoke, she reminded Dong Cheng: "Captain Dong, I'll trouble you to send Sister Xiaoxue to the army later."
Dong Cheng nodded repeatedly with a simple smile on his face: "Oh, okay! Sister-in-law!"
After dinner, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the streets, giving the whole world a layer of warm yellow.
Dong Cheng and Fu Yanxue were walking on the street, their figures stretched out long.
It was unknown how long the two of them had been walking, but Dong Cheng finally plucked up the courage to ask again the same question he had asked that night.
"Sister Xiaoxue!" Dong Cheng's voice trembled slightly, with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.
Fu Yanxue turned around and responded softly: "Hmm?"
Dong Cheng took two steps forward and stood straight, as if he was accepting an important inspection: "Sister Xiaoxue, can I date you?"
The incident happened suddenly, and Fu Yanxue could no longer pretend to be asleep this time. She could only face it head-on.
The two stood there quietly for a long time, as if time had stood still, with only the breeze blowing gently, blowing the corners of their clothes.
Fu Yanxue then spoke: "Are you serious?"
Dong Cheng was so excited that his heart almost jumped out of his throat when he heard the response. He nodded repeatedly and said anxiously: "It must be true! Xiaoxue, I have liked you since I was a child, and it has never changed until now!"
