"Not really. I come to Beijing almost every year in recent years, and we can get together every time." Gu Mingjing said.
Jian Shu was surprised and said, "Then why haven't I seen you before?"
Given the friendship between Gu Zhan and Jian Yucheng, Gu Mingjing would definitely visit him when he came to Beijing, right? But she had no impression of that.
"It's really unfortunate. Every time I came to visit Uncle Jian and Uncle Zhao, you were out and not at home, so we never met." Gu Mingjing said with a smile.
As for what the truth is, both of them know it.
As soon as Jianshu heard what he said, she understood. How could there be such a coincidence? She thought about it and understood the reason. She couldn't help but laugh.
But she didn't say anything and changed the subject, "I heard that you took half a month's leave this time. How many days can you stay?"
"Excluding the return journey, we can stay for about a week," said Gu Mingjing.
Thinking that there was only one week left, Gu Mingjing felt very reluctant. If he had known earlier, he would have taken more vacation time.
Jian Shu was unaware of Gu Mingjing's inner regret. He calculated in his mind and asked, "Then it took you quite a long time to get here."
"About forty hours." Gu Mingjing nodded.
"It's been so long!" Jianshu was a little surprised.
Since she came to this era, she has never traveled far and basically stayed in Beijing.
Although she knew that transportation was inconvenient in this era, just hearing about a 40-hour train ride made her back ache.
In her previous life, she had taken a train for more than ten hours, using a seat ticket, but that one time left a deep impression on her. Since then, she never wanted to do it again.
"Fortunately, our unit is in the northeast, which is relatively close to Beijing. My dad is in the southern province, and it takes several days to come to Beijing by train." Gu Mingjing was afraid that Jian Shu would think his unit was too far away, so he quickly brought up other places for comparison.
Jian Shu nodded, "Compared to those places, it is indeed closer."
"That's right, and our army is not remote. It's not far from the city. There are three shuttle buses to the city every day, in the morning, noon and evening." Gu Mingjing said.
He was worried that Jianshu would have concerns. After all, after staying in the bustling Beijing for a long time, who would be willing to go to a remote area?
"That's quite convenient. There's even a special car. I thought I had to walk." Jian Shu said.
As for Gu Mingjing's little thoughts, she did not notice it. After all, to her, the current Beijing city was not very prosperous.
"There are many military wives in the army, and many of them work in the city. In order to facilitate their travel, the army arranges shuttle buses," said Gu Mingjing.
"That's really thoughtful." Jianshu exclaimed.
Gu Mingjing said, "If you don't get used to it when you get there, you can always take the bus to the city every day and buy whatever you want. I have a high salary and can support you."
"We haven't even started yet, how do you know I might go?" Jian Shu gave him a cold look.
This man really finds ways to take advantage of every opportunity. He always talks about marriage, but she hasn't agreed yet.
"That day will definitely come. You can find out about it in advance." Gu Mingjing said affirmatively.
He learned a trick from his father. He wanted to marry Jianshu, so he kept talking about it in front of her. After a long time, wouldn't she get used to it imperceptibly?
Then after a year, marriage will definitely be a done deal. As long as you are thick-skinned, there is nothing you can't marry!
Jianshu was too lazy to continue chatting with him about this topic and started talking about other little things in life.
In this way, the two of them ate and chatted, and after the meal, they had a basic understanding of each other and their relationship became much closer.
When he put down his chopsticks, Jianshu realized that he had eaten too much without realizing it. He touched his bloated belly and secretly glared at Gu Mingjing.
It's all her fault. She said she couldn't eat anymore, but he kept picking up food for her. If he keeps feeding her like this, she will become a fat girl sooner or later.
After being glared at by Jianshu, Gu Mingjing also knew the reason, but didn’t he want her to eat more because she was too thin?
Gu Mingjing, who had never eaten with girls, didn't know that Jianshu's appetite was already big compared to other girls.
Meng Ying prepared three dishes and one soup in total. Each dish was very generous. After finishing the meal, four or five people ate together, and Jianshu ate only one-third of it. How could he not be full?
The remaining two-thirds were eaten up by Gu Mingjing, achieving the goal of "Clean Plate". And judging from his relaxed look, he might still be able to eat more.
Jianshu looked at Gu Mingjing's flat abdomen, then looked at her own belly, and gave him a resentful look.
"You obviously eat more than me, but why do you look the same? Where did all the food go?"
Gu Mingjing was a little amused. How could this be the same? Men tend to eat more than women, and because he usually trains a lot, his appetite is even greater. These dishes are nothing to him.
However, seeing that Jianshu looked a little uncomfortable, Gu Mingjing felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would not have picked so many dishes for Shushu.
He originally thought that Shushu was just like his mother, saying that she wanted to lose weight and that was why she only ate a little.
Gu Mingjing stood up to clear the dishes. As he did so, he said to Jian Shu, who was slumped in the chair, "Shu Shu, sit down for a moment. I'll go wash the dishes first, and then we'll go out for a walk to help digest the food."
After listening to this, Jianshu nodded and continued to lie motionless in the chair.
She hadn't thought about trying to behave herself and washing dishes with him. Not to mention that she was feeling really bad right now, even if she wasn't full, she wouldn't have wanted to go.
She herself didn't like washing dishes and usually used a dishwasher at home. Now, there was no need to do something she didn't like just to create a good image in front of Gu Mingjing.
Since you are dating with the purpose of getting married, show your true self and see if the other person can accept it.
Otherwise, fake is fake after all. You can pretend for a while but not forever. There is no need to do that.
Seeing Gu Mingjing washing dishes and mopping the floor skillfully, Jianshu made a promise in his heart.
That's good. He's not the kind of guy who doesn't do housework and sits on the sofa like a grown man as soon as he gets home. It seems like he does a lot of housework!
Bonus points!
