Rong Zhengqing had a bitter face and his scalp was tingling.
She had been so bold before that she actually dared to think of bullying Song Zhi, who looked like dough. As a result, she now had the illusion that she had saved her life...
Nie Jinmei nudged Rong Zhengqing and motioned her to look at Ran Qiu.
Ran Qiu tilted his head and stared at the two people standing under the window chatting.
No one knew what the two were talking about, but there was a familiarity between them that outsiders could not interfere with. It was an atmosphere that had accumulated over the years.
Ran Qiu lowered his eyes and looked at his patched clothes with a dim look.
Rong Zhengqing sighed. Ran Qiu had always felt that he was not worthy of Song Zhi, and now compared with Captain Tang, who was both rich and prestigious, the psychological gap was even greater.
He is really miserable, falling in love with someone he can't hold on to and is not worthy of.
Outside the door, Tang Junhe asked Song Zhi about his grades in each course one by one.
"Not bad. Do you need a private teacher to tutor you?"
Song Zhi refused without hesitation.
"I'm a top student. Even Professor Qian said I have a good foundation. As long as I can learn all the wrong questions, I will definitely be admitted to Tsinghua University."
The little girl raised her chin proudly, and her confident glow made people look sideways.
Tang Junhe pursed his lips and smiled, "I believe you."
"Tang Junhe, I'm hungry!" Song Zhi stared with wide eyes, afraid that he would continue to talk nonsense.
Tang Junhe nodded calmly, "Let's go, these are all your favorite foods."
The two returned to the room and sat down on the vacant stool.
Nie Jinmei and the others became reserved again.
"Since you are Song Zhi's friends, you are my friends. Don't be polite. Let's eat."
After he finished speaking, Song Zhi couldn't wait to pick up a piece of braised eggplant with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew, squinting his eyes happily.
"The food here is pretty good."
Although supplies were scarce in that era, it was a rare achievement to be able to make such delicious food out of the existing ingredients.
Tang Junhe smiled and picked up some sweet and sour pork ribs for her with chopsticks. "If you like it, eat more. You have a heavy task now, so you need to replenish your energy."
Although the little girl looked better when she was thinner, he still thought she looked better when she was chubby.
Song Zhi took a few mouthfuls of rice and didn't bother to respond to him.
She finished a steamed bun in a few bites. Seeing that Tang Junhe was staring at her without moving his chopsticks, she felt a little embarrassed and slowed down her eating.
"Why don't you eat?"
"I've eaten." Tang Junhe glanced at the two girls beside her who were trembling with fear and didn't dare to pick up any food, then stood up and said goodbye.
"Take your time to eat, I'll go take care of something first."
He walked in military boots, his steps light and steady, and disappeared around the corner in just a few steps.
Nie Jinmei heaved a long sigh of relief. "Captain Tang's aura is so terrifying, I don't even dare to eat it."
"Exactly. When I saw him, I felt like a cat seeing a mouse, but I obviously didn't do anything wrong."
Rong Zhengqing picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in his mouth to chew. He said vaguely, "Song Zhi, what does Captain Tang's family do? I don't think his temperament can be raised in an ordinary family."
Song Zhi paused while eating, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the salary should be quite high."
Tang Junhe had given her money several times, more than a hundred each time.
Her father holds that position and earns one hundred and twenty or thirty hundred yuan a month. Tang Junhe is so young but can already get the same salary as her father.
His position will be promoted in the future and his salary will definitely be higher.
Nie Jinmei looked at Song Zhi with a smile, "So what does your family do? Since you get along so well with Captain Tang, they must be pretty good, right?"
Song Zhi put down the bowl and looked at them gossiping, tilting his head in amusement, "What are you doing? Checking the household registration?"
"Not really." Rong Zhengqing chuckled, "I just feel like your family is special. I'm just curious."
"Nothing special, everyone is the same."
Song Zhi lowered his eyelids, looking thoughtful.
Her father is now the director of a steel mill, but once the reform and opening up begins, the steel mill will go bankrupt and no one will be able to keep their iron rice bowl.
Her family seems powerful now, but when the tide of the times comes, most of them will be laid off except for a few who can maintain their original treatment.
Song Zhi felt an endless heaviness in his heart, and that time was not far away.
Seeing her sudden silence, Nie Jinmei and Rong Zhengqing stopped gossiping and lowered their heads to eat.
When they had almost finished eating, Tang Junhe coincidentally appeared again.
It was already dark outside. Even though it was April, it was still a bit chilly when Tang Junhe came in.
He just stood at the door and didn't approach Song Zhi.
"It's too late today, why don't you stay at my place and sleep? I'll send someone to take you to school tomorrow, and it's closer from my place."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Song Zhi.
How close must their relationship be to invite someone to live in the camp...
It seems that Captain Tang trusts Song Zhi very much!
"No, I'll just go back with them." Song Zhi frowned and refused directly.
She and Tang Junhe are neither relatives nor lovers, so it is against the rules for her to live here.
Tang Junhe frowned in dissatisfaction. "My place is very close to the school. You can sleep a little longer tomorrow. And you don't have to worry about them. I will send someone to protect them when they return."
"That won't work either."
Song Zhi couldn't help but look at him. Why was this guy so weird? Why did he suddenly insist on asking her to stay overnight?
Besides, she had her own bed at Ran Qiu's house. At worst, she could stay at his house and go to school with Ran Qiu the next day.
"I really can't live here. Let's go back."
Song Zhi pulled Nie Jinmei around Tang Junhe, and heard him say indifferently, "Actually, I received a telegram from Uncle Song a few days ago."
Song Zhi slammed on the brakes and asked, "What did my father say? How did you answer?"
"I will answer truthfully." Tang Junhe blinked innocently.
Song Zhi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"I told Uncle Song that since I haven't seen you much recently, I don't know how you are doing."
When Song Zhi heard this, he almost got mad to death.
"How could you say that? What if my dad gets worried about me? Can't you just make it up?"
Wasn't this man quite good at talking when he was coaxing her? Why is he silent now?
Tang Junhe spread his hands helplessly, "I'm not wrong, and I just don't want to lie to Uncle Song."
Song Zhi glared at him angrily.
This guy must have done this on purpose! What a bad guy!
Tang Junhe curled his lips quietly, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
When Song Zhi is angry, he is like his grandma's cat with its fur standing on end. His big round eyes stare at you fiercely, but he won't pounce on you and bite you.
"why are you laughing!"

Happy Little New Year everyone.
