Pei Tingyu thought she was walking too slowly, so he simply carried her into the cafeteria.
The regimental canteen is much larger than the company's small canteen, and the dishes are richer.
Si Yang likes to eat rice, so after getting a portion of rice, he went to the food area.
Today's dishes include braised eggplant, cabbage stewed with vermicelli, braised tofu, braised pork, etc.
Si Yang chose three vegetarian dishes and spent 15 cents on the food coupon.
When he returned to the table, Pei Tingyu pushed another portion of braised pork in front of her.
"Take away what you can't finish."
Si Yang glanced at the juicy braised pork, then looked at Pei Tingyu who was concentrating on eating.
"Captain, this isn't a good influence. I've worked so hard to clear up the rumors about us. Please don't let them spread again."
Si Yang lowered her voice and turned to look at the other people around her. Sure enough, she saw many comrades staring at her and Pei Tingyu with curiosity or excitement.
Pei Tingyu was busy eating, ignoring the gazes of others.
"Are you so afraid of being associated with me? So afraid that you simply admitted to those people that you were a suspected spy?"
"Captain, you've helped me so many times, I just don't want to implicate you. Let's just make it clear. At worst, I can just accept their investigation. A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear from their shadows. I'm not afraid!"
Si Yang seemed helpless, but there was another voice in his heart.
Huh~ It’s better to explain everything clearly than to be grabbed by the scruff of the neck and tortured by this bastard.
Even wanting to herd sheep is not peaceful.
After listening to her explanation, Pei Tingyu raised his thin lips slightly into a curve, and then quickly returned to normal.
Si Yang just looked at him. Pei Tingyu was not picky about food and ate very quickly, chewing with big mouthfuls and swallowing slowly. He quickly finished half of the full lunch box.
"Have you seen enough?" Pei Tingyu's Adam's apple rolled, and he knew Si Yang was looking at him without even raising his eyes.
"Not enough." Si Yang's mind was spinning and he blurted out without thinking.
Pei Tingyu smiled softly, his eyes filled with stars and full of tenderness.
"I've been busy lately, so I'll let you see enough later."
Si Yang frowned slightly. She was just teasing him casually, that was all.
Can it be withdrawn?
"I'm done eating, you can eat while it's hot." Pei Tingyu covered the clean lunch box and prepared to take it out to wash.
Si Yang glanced at his lunch box. There was not even a grain of rice left. It was so clean that it didn't even need to be washed.
"Captain, go get busy first! I'll take the ranch's ox cart back to company headquarters in a bit."
"Um."
Pei Tingyu stood up and left the table, and was about to turn around when he suddenly thought of something.
"Tomorrow the Political Security Bureau will send someone to investigate your situation. Those people would rather catch the wrong person than let him go, so you should be mentally prepared."
Si Yang raised his eyes to look at him and responded softly, "I know. What is meant to come will eventually come."
"Yeah." Pei Tingyu turned around and his eyes dimmed.
The reason why he and Qin Lingxiao did not report Si Yang's situation when they realized her identity was suspicious was that they did not want to let her face the people from the Political Security Bureau rashly.
They have the responsibility to protect national interests, but they also want to protect Si Yang, so they take measures to fully monitor her every move.
But now that the Political Security Bureau has been alerted, their basic methods of dealing with spies include imprisonment at the very least and torture at the worst.
The extremism of preferring to arrest the wrongdoers rather than let them go leads to false and wrongful convictions every year. But who cares?
In the evening, Pei Tingyu had just returned to the Sixth Company when he ran into Qin Lingxiao who was standing under the eaves light smoking.
"Why are you smoking today?" In the curling smoke, Qin Lingxiao slightly lowered his melancholy eyes.
He has quit smoking for two years, but today he really wants to have a cigarette.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault yesterday..." This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
