They’d known each other for so long, Song Jingye’s purpose in doing this was naturally to introduce her with a brand new identity, as his girlfriend. 。Chen Ning’s worries about work instantly disappeared, and she replied with a smile, “Wouldn’t that scare them?” Back when she was in the Northwest army unit, her little thoughts hadn’t even been revealed before Song Jingye cut them off. Who knows how much they knew… 。
“Won’t” 。I will pick you up after work. 。”I’ll go myself, it’s not far.” 。She hurriedly said <<< 。Once their relationship was confirmed, she became a bit shy or uneasy around her colleagues. 。That works. 。Song Jingye did not insist. 。Last time when I planned to confess, I had the class monitor buy flowers and a cake, it wasn't sincere enough. This time, I bought them myself in advance. 。Being inexperienced, I walked into a flower shop on the street and felt a little lost, not knowing what to buy. 。"Sir, who is this for? I can recommend something for you." 。The clerk warmly greeted us. 。
“Get a gift for your girlfriend” 。He replied, still a little uncomfortable with the title. 。”First time ordering?” The clerk, seasoned and experienced, could tell at once. 。”Yes ” 。”The first time sending, I don’t know the recipient’s preferences. Sending conventional roses is not a mistake.” 。The clerk pointed to a bunch of bright red roses next to them. 。Song Jingye glanced over and said: “Are there other colors? This one doesn’t suit her temperament.” 。”What kind of temperament does your girlfriend have?”Song Jingye looked around the flower shop again and pointed to a sunflower: “Get this one.” 。He doesn’t know what the sunflower symbolizes, but in his heart it represents thriving towards the sun. 。Cashier: “Sure, I can add some champagne-colored roses for you. They symbolize a happy and fulfilling love.” 。Good 。“Song Jingye readily agreed” 。At the checkout, the clerk suddenly looked up and asked, “Sir, are you in the military?” Song Jingye was just dressed in ordinary casual clothes today, with nothing on him that marked his profession. 。The clerk, while carefully wrapping the flowers and handing them over, explained: “You look like someone who would make a great boyfriend. Your girlfriend would be very happy.” 。”Song Jingye nodded, uncomfortable with the excessive enthusiasm. He took the flowers and said goodbye before leaving.” 。Would she be happy being his girlfriend?
He’s trying hard 。When he arrived at the restaurant with flowers and a cake, Zheng Ke and Zhang Ni had already gotten there. Zheng Ke was shocked. Used to his usual stern demeanor, seeing him suddenly enter with flowers and a cake felt very out of place. 。”Whose birthday is it today?” he asked. 。Let me introduce my girlfriend to you. 。”Song Jingye was forthright and straightforward, the more he said the words “girlfriend,” the more he liked them.” 。”A girlfriend?” Zheng Ke was very curious, but didn’t dare to ask too much. 。
The class monitor spoke up at the right time: “Don’t ask, you’ll find out soon.” 。So Zheng Ke, when he saw Chen Ling come back in, initially thought for a few seconds that she had also been invited to dinner. It wasn’t until he saw Song Jingye push open the chair next to him and motion for her to sit down that he realized what was going on. 。
Zhang Ni smiled at him, “You’re so slow.” 。”
How would I know our Song team was so low-key? ” 。”Hello, squad leader. Hello, brother. Hello, sister-in-law.” 。Chen Ning was a little embarrassed. While they hadn’t watched her grow up, they had always treated her like a younger sibling and taken care of her for years. So after greeting them, she didn’t know what to say. 。Zheng Ke Dao: “I seem to remember, when we were in the Northwest Corps, you always secretly looked at Song Squad Leader.” 。”Chen Ling blushed, remembering that time. It was a mix of sour and sweet, that secret crush.” 。A few people started talking about their experiences in the army. Zheng Ke spoke the most, explaining things in detail to Zhang Ni because he was afraid she wouldn’t understand. 。。The next day, the squad leader secretly made some delicious food for Xiaoning. 。”When did this happen? How could I possibly have insulted her?” 。”Yes, you scolded me very harshly.” 。”
It is impossible” 。”Song Jingye was adamant, treating her like a child. At most, he just ignored her.” 。Zheng Ke: “Song Team, let me help you recall…” 。At first, when Xiaoning used the money she earned from working at a restaurant during winter break to buy us gloves, you not only publicly scolded her but also forced us to return the money for the gloves to her, making everyone very embarrassed. 。Before being in the military, Zheng Ke didn’t dare to voice his opinions. Now that he’s out of the army and no longer under a hierarchical system, he feels free to speak his mind. 。
He reminded him, and Song Jingye finally had a vague impression, that there was such a thing. 。”I feel sorry for her hard-earned money being wasted.” 。”I know how I spend my money.” 。”
Well, you got it. Not a penny from me. ” 。He remembered the card and was a little angry again. 。”From now on, spend your ” 。”Chen Ning smiled mischievously and said” 。Song Jingye twitched the corner of his lips and smiled as well. 。The squad leader and Zheng Ke clicked their tongues a few times, then deliberately asked, “So should we call Xiao Ning back now, or sister-in-law?”
Song Jingye: “It doesn’t matter” 。”
Squad leader: “That can’t be done casually, different titles mean different identities.”> 。If you call her Xiao Ninghui, then we’ll still be her in-laws. If you call her sister-in-law, that’s up to you. 。”
Song Jingye didn’t even think about it: ‘Then just keep calling Xiaoning back'” 。Chen Ling, who was beside them, heard their conversation and suddenly felt a little choked up, very touched. 。”Thank you, class monitor. Thank you, brother.” 。”Well, you’ll have your brothers to back you up from now on. If Captain Song dares to bully you, just tell us anytime.” 。”The squad leader said, pouring wine into everyone’s cups,” 。
Song Jingye refused to drink, saying he would never touch alcohol. 。Chen Ning replied, “Can I have a sip?” She liked this kind of atmosphere, wanting to be like them, eating meat and drinking. 。”Only one sip allowed” 。”
Tonight was supposed to be the night we announced our relationship, but it turned into a reunion, and even a roast of Song Jingye.” 。
If I had to criticize him, there would be endless things to say. The class monitor and Zheng Ke became more and more enthusiastic as they talked. Chen Ling, relaxed, was also drawn back to that time. 。Zheng Ke: “Do you remember that training session when Xiaoning returned? According to the original plan, we were going to a different mountain we usually frequented, but Captain Song changed his mind at the last minute. He said that since the usual mountain was too familiar, the training wouldn’t be very meaningful. So he chose that one instead…” 。”After listening, Chen Ning turned her head to look at Song Jingye, so everything was destined.” 。Song Jingye didn’t talk much, he just listened quietly to their reminiscences of the past. When Chen Ling turned to look at him, he smiled. 。The atmosphere was great. The monitor and Zheng Ke drank a lot, Chen Ling followed suit and drank quite a bit too. 。By the time Song Jingye found her, she had already downed several glasses. Her face was flushed red, and she kept giggling foolishly, clearly drunk. 。Zhang Ni on the side was very indulgent of Zheng Ke. He rarely got a day off, so he drank a few more cups and went along with him. 。Finally, the monitor shouted and told the waiter to bring up the cake. 。Chen Ning had already gotten drunk, leaning towards Song Jingye: “Whose birthday is it?” Song Jingye had no patience: “Celebrating us being together…” 。”Oh, that uncle fed me. ” 。She put her arms around his waist and looked up at him coquettishly. 。
