The two of them sat in the boys' and girls' camps respectively. As soon as they sat down, someone suggested: "Brother Chen, please invite your sister-in-law to join us!"

He said quietly: "She is busy today."

Then someone asked: "Which unit does my sister-in-law work for? When did you start? Didn't Reporter Gu come to see you last week?"

Song Shiwei paused as she picked up the cup. Ji Yanchen was quiet for a moment and only answered the last question: "Reporter Gu and I just have a work relationship."

The colleague who spoke was reluctant and said carelessly: "You can't deceive others about this, but you can't deceive us. Didn't you two know each other on a blind date? She went to your team every day, and everyone thought you two could make it!"

This was a scene about the first encounter that Song Shiwei had never heard before. She raised her eyes and looked over. The person across the table also raised his eyes. After his eyes met with hers in the air for a moment, he moved away calmly: "No, it has always been just work. contacts."

His reaction was so cold, and the other party didn't inquire further, but still gossiped: "Hey, you two have known each other for so many years, but there has never been a spark?"

Someone next to me helped: "Yes, didn't you know her when you were in the army? The leaders have also matched you several times. Is it because you are too familiar with her and it is difficult to develop?"

Song Shiwei secretly looked at his face, wondering how he would answer.

He calmly replied: "My girlfriend and I met earlier."

This is a perfect and skillful answer. Even if it seems to be evasive, it still makes people very comfortable.

Song Shiwei's slender fingers slowly loosened their grip on the cup, and the wrinkles that had just appeared in her mood were smoothed away without delay. The pineapple juice in her mouth was full of sweetness, but it was still slightly sour.

She did know him earlier but had no interaction with him. In fact, she might not know as much about his past as Gu Wan did.

Everyone at the table was surprised: "Earlier than the army? High school? Is your sister-in-law your high school classmate?"

"Ah."

"Then did you two have a secret affair in high school?"

"No, she is a good student and I am a bad student."

His eyes flickered across her face, half-truthfully, half-falsely, "I'm not good enough for her."

Song Shiwei bit her straw and came to her senses, secretly thinking that she should give this person a sanctimonious lifetime achievement award, saying it so seriously, as if they had really crossed paths in high school.

But others didn't know the inside story, so they just asked excitedly: "Brother Chen, you actually had a time when you were young and had low self-esteem?"

"How do you talk? Brother Chen, how can this be called inferiority? This is called letting go for love!"

"What happened next? Then you went to the army and you two separated?"

Ji Yanchen hummed without elaborating: "We just met again this year."

Several young girls who had just graduated at the table had shocked expressions on their faces. Someone suggested while it was hot: "Let's have the first cup. Best wishes for Brother Chen's love affair!"

He took the lead and touched the plate in front of him with his cup, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on! Receive Brother Chen's peach blossoms!"

"catch!"

"catch!"

……

Because it was Friday, everyone's interest was very high. Song Shiwei originally wanted to find an excuse to leave first, but when she saw that several people around Ji Yanchen were taking turns drinking at him in the name of congratulations, he was so drunk the day before, so she was worried about leaving him alone. She ate the food absentmindedly, and kept glancing across from her peripheral vision. Seeing his eyes getting darker and darker, she was secretly worried and had nothing to do, until his cell phone rang. He picked up the phone, stood up and walked out of the box.

Song Shiwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that he could delay his stay outside for some time before coming back. The person drinking with him at the table was also a little drunk and called the girl in Ji Yanchen's group: "Ah Ruan, after your brother Chen fell in love, Have there been any changes? Has your temper gotten better? Have you been gentler to you?"

Zhong Ruan sat one person away from Song Shiwei, biting into a glutinous rice cake dripping with brown sugar and thinking for a while, shaking his head and whispering slowly: "His temper is still the same, but during lunch break, he would secretly laugh on the phone behind someone's back. After the mission was over, I immediately checked my mobile phone to report that I was safe. I recently bought a cookbook and kept it in the office for easy reading."

The scene described by the other party suddenly appeared in front of Song Shiwei's eyes, and the end of her lips unconsciously rose up but she pretended to be calm and flattened it down.

The person who asked the question burst out laughing: "Brother Chen, it's okay to be enlightened. If you want to tether a woman's heart, tether her stomach first, let's all learn from this!"

"I understand, let's form a group to borrow recipes from him tomorrow!"

"I would like to ask, first of all, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Hello, look what you said, can't I practice this skill first? Is it too late for me to practice it after the others are in place?"

"I agree to practice in advance."

Zhong Ruan put down the glutinous rice cake, picked up a piece of mutton chop, and said slowly, "Twice before, Brother Chen brought boiled milk for us to drink, and asked us in detail how it tasted. The more I think about it now, the more I feel that those milk Probably a guinea pig for his practice.”

Song Shiwei looked at her face slightly startled, her dark eyelashes trembling slightly.

Everyone was laughing and joking: "You're laughing so hard, you are all part of his love game, little guinea pigs!"

"I really want to see my sister-in-law's true face. Brother Chen is also a flower in our bureau after all. How many girls have tried to pick it but failed. Who picked it and brought it home?"

"This is simple. Wait for him to come back later and continue to make him drink. When he gets drunk, won't my sister-in-law pick him up?"

Song Shiwei's eyebrows jumped, and the person next to her spoke her heart first: "No."

Everyone looked over after hearing this. The sister from the Publicity Department took a sip of juice and spoke slowly, "I just drank so much that my stomach bleeds when I went on a mission the day before yesterday. It's not easy yet. You have to punish me again. Then we'll do it later." It wasn’t my girlfriend who came to pick me up, it was an ambulance.”

Song Shiwei's pupils were trembling, so serious?

Zhong Ruan nodded seriously: "Yes, I testify that the situation was indeed quite serious that day. Director Li even scolded him when he came today."

The few people who were going to get him to drink all felt sorry for him. The other newbies had nothing to do with themselves and talked about other topics. Song Shiwei was the only one on the whole table who was immersed in this matter and looked stunned. The people next to her looked at her silently. After a moment, he patted her arm with a smile and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, dear, not all of our units have such perverted jobs, this is just a special case."

Song Shiwei reluctantly pulled her lower lip, picked up the water glass and took a sip. There was something in her throat that made her feel depressed.

No wonder he was evasive when she asked about his mission last night. How could he hide such a serious matter from her? Even if they were in a cold war at that time, she would not be able to continue to vent her anger on him in this situation. Is she so immature in his eyes?

Or did he say it was because he was worried about her? Isn't the meaning of lovers' existence to support each other? She didn't want to be a weakling who was always taken care of and protected by him. She also wanted to protect him to the best of her ability.

After another half day, Ji Yanchen walked back to the box, his expression not very good.

Someone jokingly asked: "What's wrong, Brother Chen? My sister-in-law is urging you to go home?"

Song Shiwei pursed her lips and looked at him silently. He glanced over at him seemingly unintentionally and denied in a deep voice: "The team is in a hurry and we have to take a step forward. You continue."

Zhong Ruan quickly put down the sheep bones and stood up to wipe his mouth: "Do you need me to go back with you, Brother Chen?"

He shook his head and picked up his coat: "No, you can stay."
