Chapter 290: Food without Taste (33)
In the hall, as soon as Lan Jin came up, she saw the well-behaved Lan Qiaoqiao. She stood honestly beside Grandma Ling and looked around, but Lan Jin knew that the child was looking for her in the crowd.
When she turned around, she saw Lan Jin going upstairs, and she danced and shouted, "Mom, Mom, here, here."
Lan Jin waved in her direction and shouted, "Coming."
Several people quickened their pace and walked towards the old man and the young man.
But obviously, Lao Shi and Zhou Zhi, who were one step behind, didn't take much effort to catch up with them. They had just met up when Lao Shi appeared behind them.
Grandma Ling was very sharp-eyed and quick-witted. After only a moment's hesitation, she recognized the person opposite her as Ling Jiang's boyfriend, Lao Shi. She immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Little Shi! Oh, I never thought we could meet here..."
Seeing the familiar tone and intimate attitude of the two people, they suddenly remembered one thing. It seemed that Ling Jiang had never told Grandma Ling about the fact that he was cheated on by Lao Shi. In addition, Grandma Ling was already very satisfied with Lao Shi. She might think that the two of them met by fate and could continue their old relationship.
If that's the case...
Ling Jiang couldn't help but feel a little nauseous.
But Grandma Ling really didn't know anything. When she saw Lao Shi, she looked so affectionate.
There was another person who was affectionate, and that was Lan Qiaoqiao. When she saw Lao Shi, she didn't react much, but when she saw Zhou Zhiye next to Lao Shi, the whole little person became excited. She quickly ran to Zhou Zhiye's side and called out affectionately, "Uncle Zhou."
Zhou Zhiye smiled helplessly and said, "Hello, Qiao Qiao."
When the little girl heard Zhou Zhiye call her Qiao Qiao directly, she shyly hid in Lan Jin's arms. However, because the person opposite her was too attractive to her, she ran to Zhou Zhiye's side again after a while of shyness.
Lan Qiaoqiao kept saying something in Zhou Zhiye's ear, and Zhou Zhiye cooperated with her by squatting down and listening carefully to every word the child said.
Lan Jin was speechless and quickly brought the little girl back. "Qiao Qiao, it's time for lunch. Don't delay Dr. Zhou's meal."
Grandma Ling suddenly remembered that she came down to eat, and quickly asked, "Xiao Shi, if you have nothing to do at noon, let's eat together."
"Okay." Lao Shi agreed without thinking, but at the same time, Ling Jiang replied with an unhappy look on his face: "He's busy."
The answers of these two people made the atmosphere at the scene silent for a moment.
After a while, Grandma Ling finally discovered that something was wrong. Lao Shi and Ling Jiang no longer had the same affection as before.
But now that he had said it, he could only say, "Let's go and have dinner."
The food in the cafeteria on the third floor is indeed much richer, but it is also expensive. Generally, they eat in the public cafeteria on the second floor.
They took their cutlery and lined up to get their meals, then everyone sat together and ate lunch in silence.
Lan Qiaoqiao, being particularly tactless, insisted on sitting next to Zhou Zhiye, smiling as she waited for Lan Jin to share her food.
She dared to say that no one enjoyed the meal except Lan Qiaoqiao and Zhou Zhiye, because everyone was sitting at the same table, but they were always looking at each other's expressions. How could they enjoy the meal like that?
After finally finishing the tasteless meal with great difficulty, when saying goodbye, Grandma Ling politely said, "Little boy, we'll go back first. We're all in the same base. We'll get together again later."
"Okay, Grandma Ling."
…
Inside the rental house.
Grandma Ling glanced at Ling Jiang, who had been silent the entire time, and asked, "Tell me, what are you hiding from me?"
Ling Jiang said coquettishly, "Grandma can't hide anything from me, but Lao Shi and I are not suitable to have dinner together anymore, so please don't be so affectionate with him."
Grandma Ling hesitated for a moment and asked, "What have you done to offend others?"
Ling Jiang felt wronged, and Lao Gao bluntly said, "This has nothing to do with Sister Ling."
"Then it has something to do with you." Grandma Ling turned the subject to Lao Gao without hesitation.
Lao Gao explained speechlessly: "No, it's Lao Shi who cheated."
Grandma Ling didn't believe it. "How is it possible? I watched that child grow up when he was little. How could he do such a thing?"
"When it comes to men, you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart." Lan Jin interjected at the right time, but her interjection actually made Ling Jiang, who had a serious expression the whole time, laugh.
With a changed mood, Ling Jiang slowly told Grandma Ling everything that happened in the J City base.
Grandma Ling's eyes widened as she counted the time between the two bases. It had been several months. She immediately scolded him, "It's been so long, and you're just telling me now. If I'd known about this, I wouldn't have called him to dinner. I felt so bad eating that meal just now."
"It's because you like him, and you're afraid that it will hurt you if I tell you." Ling Jiang defended himself.
"No matter how much I like him, you are my granddaughter after all. How can I like him after he treats you like this?"
Lan Qiaoqiao couldn't quite understand what the two people were saying, but Zhou Zhiye was also among the people eating, so the little guy asked in confusion, "Uncle Zhou?"
Lan Jin replied, "It has nothing to do with Uncle Zhou. It's about another uncle. He changed your name for you. Do you remember?"
Ran Qiaoqiao really remembered, "I remember."
And then it's over.
Everyone was concerned about Lao Shi just now. They were listening to Lan Qiaoqiao's Uncle Zhou. Uncle Zhou didn't pay much attention to it. Grandma Ling suddenly asked, "Doctor Zhou is the doctor who treats Qiaoqiao, right? He should say hello. He was so rude just now. It's okay if Lao Shi is not good, but I think the doctor Zhou just now seemed pretty good."
When Lan Qiaoqiao heard that Doctor Zhou was good, he immediately nodded and agreed, "Yes, yes, not bad, Uncle Zhou."
Although these two people are good, they are worlds apart, but for Ling Jiang, it is impossible. "Grandma, it's the end of the world. It's good enough to be alive. Let's talk about survival first, and then talk about love. If I can meet someone, I will definitely find one, but if not, I won't force it. You can't force anything, and you can't force a match."
When Ling Jiang thought about the horror of blind dates continuing in the apocalypse, she felt that it would be better if a mutant creature came and bit her to death.
Before Grandma Ling could retort, the base's alarm sounded again.
"Alarm, alarm, ..."
As the psychics at the base, how could they stay at home after hearing the alarm? The four of them quickly stood up, packed up, and said, "We'll go out and take a look. You guys stay home."
Grandma Ling said helplessly: "Okay, okay, you don't want to listen to me anyway."
