When Cheng Jiu returned to the team, the cafeteria became much more lively. When he went to have a meal, everyone below rushed over, each calling him "Brother Jiu" in one go, all very worried about him.
They were very happy and excited that they would come back safely.
Jiang Tang also came. She had heard from others about Cheng Jiu's return and asked all the way to the cafeteria. She saw him surrounded by others and was safe and sound.
Not bad. Fortunately.
Jiang Tang had been standing in the corner, looking at him without disturbing him.
It was not until evening that Cheng Jiu was about to return to the dormitory. Jiang Tang followed him all the way and found an opportunity to talk to him.
She called him back. Cheng Jiu stopped in his tracks and turned his head.
You're fine. That's great. Before, Director Meng said that you had gone back to Yongcheng for treatment and had been in a coma. I thought... Fortunately, he's fine.
Jiang Tang heaved a sigh of relief and excitedly stared at his shoulder.
Cheng Jiu was very cold. Recalling what Cheng Hui had told him, he asked, "Did you take my call?" He mentioned a date and place, which was exactly the night when he had an all-night meeting and came out to meet her.
Jiang Tang didn't forget. She quickly remembered and didn't pretend to be stupid anymore. She said, "Take it. It seems to be your sister calling, but she hung up after a few words."
"Not many words were said. What did you say?" "
It's nothing. I just asked if you were there. I said you were busy. After learning that it was your sister, I asked her to call back later. Jiang Tang was quite confident and, fearing that Cheng Jiu might find out something, explained again, "At that time, I was rather anxious because if we had any actions, they were confidential and couldn't be told to others. Your sister seemed a bit unhappy."
Jiang Tang still remembered that Xin Gan had answered the phone later, but she deliberately didn't mention Xin Gan.
Cheng Jiu curled the corner of his mouth, his eyes cold as he said, "Jiang Tang, do you think I would believe you when you say these words?" He just thought that since they had worked together over the past few years and had made things clear before, he didn't hold it against her. But since Cheng Hui had already told him and even involved Xin Gan, this matter just couldn't be let go.
Why can't you trust me? So, what do you suspect I have done?
Cheng Jiu said, "It's meaningless to talk about that. I've already made it very clear to you. Besides, Xin Gan and I have already got married. Jiang Tang, one last thing I want to say to you is, don't provoke Xin Gan. I really don't deserve your attention."
He didn't have the heart to speak so rigor. After all, Jiang Tang was still a woman. Besides, his thoughts were obvious. He had already emphasized to her again that he and Xin Gan had already got married. What did getting married mean? It meant they couldn't divorce, unless he had committed any major faults. Of course, he wouldn't commit any major faults.
...
Jiang Tang wouldn't give up and went to find Director Meng. Director Meng was still in the office reading documents at the moment, his mind so sharp that he heard a knock on the door and opened it.
Jiang Tang shouted, "Inspector Meng, has Cheng Jiu got married?" Is this true?
Meng Shanchang said, "It's true. How could this be a joke?"
"Impossible. This is impossible." Jiang Tang kept retreating.
"Xiao Jiang, stop getting stuck in a rut. His marriage report was stuck with me a long time ago."
Jiang Tang wouldn't listen to what Meng Shenchang said and turned around to run away.
...
A few days later, the news came that Jiang Tang was missing.
Her phone was turned off and she couldn't be reached. When I asked the people in her dormitory, none of them knew her whereabouts.
Cheng Jiu left a day ago because of something under Yu Tou's command and is not in the team now.
Meng Shenchang was overcast with dark clouds. He immediately arranged for personnel to look for her, conducting the search as needed. He checked the surveillance footage and investigated based on the clues from the footage.
...
Yongcheng.
After over a month of military training, Cheng Hui's complexion darkened by more than one degree, looking like a little black charcoal. She even despised herself and found a folk remedy online, claiming that eating almond paste, coix seed paste and milk could whiten the skin. She bought these three ingredients online and ate them every day as if they were meals.
After the military training, it happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The school is on holiday again. It lasts for eight days.
Cheng Hui then ran to Xin Gan's home to play with him.
Xin Gan was busy running the studio and didn't pay much attention to her. She had nothing to do either, so she just followed Xin Gan around.
One time, seeing Cheng Hui eating something in a paste and not eating, Xin Gan asked, "What are you eating?"
"A baby that can whiten the skin."
Xin Gan leaned in and sniffed, saying, "Almonds?"
"Right."
Eating too many almonds can make you gain weight. They are very high in calories.
Oh, then what should we do? ! I've been eating it for a week.
"Do you want to whiten your skin?"
Cheng Hui said, "Sure."
"Then just do a good job of sun protection. Don't eat these. Don't even eat. Be careful not to wear yourself out." "
Xin Gan's words serve as a mirror.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival, Cheng Hui returned home. Not long after getting home, he fainted at the door of his house, scaring the aunt who had gone out to buy vegetables. He immediately called a driver and sent her to the hospital.
Mrs. Cheng arrived shortly after, extremely anxious.
When Cheng Hui woke up, he found himself in the hospital with a syringe stuck in the back of his hand. The next second, he saw Mrs. Cheng and asked weakly, "What's wrong with me?"
"Your blood sugar was too low and you fainted. The doctor said you didn't eat, which caused problems with your body. What's wrong with you? Are you trying to lose weight like others and not eating?" " Lady Cheng was extremely angry. First, Cheng Jiu almost lost his life, but now Cheng Hui was coming back.
Cheng Hui felt guilty and whispered, "I'm not on a diet. I'm..."
What else could it be if not losing weight?
Seeing Mrs. Cheng in a fit of anger, Cheng Hui shrank his neck and dared not talk back.
She lay in the hospital for most of the day and had received two bottles of intravenous drip. The doctor said she was fine and let her go.
Mrs. Cheng had something to do halfway and left her aunt to look after her.
Cheng Hui licked his mouth, sat on the rest chair beside him, waiting for the aunt to go to the bathroom. Feeling a bit bored, he took out his mobile phone to play with.
At the other end of the corridor were He Chuan and Tang Huaihuai.
Kagawa stood by the side with his hands in his pockets, looking dashing and handsome. He wore a white shirt and unbuttoned the three buttons on his chest. Just standing there, he was very attractive.
After queuing up and paying the fee, Tang Huaihuai walked up to him and said, "Let's go. The laboratory department is on the second floor."
He Chuan nodded, his gaze faintly sweeping across the corridor on the opposite side. He saw Cheng Hui sitting on a chair, leaning around. He had no idea what was going on. He called out to Tang Huaihuai who was about to leave and said, "You go. I'll go out and have a cigarette."
"All right. Then I'll come down and find you after the inspection." Tang Huaihuai didn't think much of it either. Her attention was focused on the list.
It was not until Tang Huaihuai went upstairs that He Chuan walked towards Cheng Hui.
People who are ill usually have a poorer complexion. Cheng Hui was no exception. His lips were still pale and chapped.
She heard footsteps and thought they were some passer-by, so she didn't look up and stared at her phone.
He Chuan stood beside her, his tall shadow casting a shadow over him. Suddenly, he said, "This man is not as good-looking as me. Are you so interested in it?"
Cheng Hui was watching a live stream. The screen on her phone was of a male streamer with countless layers of filters on. At her age, she loves playing games, so of course she also follows game streamers.
There was a big generation gap between He Chuan and her. I had no idea what the hell she was watching, so I asked out of curiosity.
When Cheng Hui heard He Chuan's voice, he let out a "wow" and immediately raised his head, his soul leaving his body in fear. He scolded him angrily, "What are you doing? Pretending to be a ghost in broad daylight?" "!"
