"Does the wound still hurt?"

When Wu Ming arrived in front of the Four-Dimensional Research Institute at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Zhong Caini was already standing there. He didn't ask anything else, but asked about Wu Ming's injuries with concern.

Seeing Zhong Caini's face as usual, there seemed to be a faint trace of grievance in her eyes staring at her. Of course, Wu Ming wouldn't tell her that the wound was torn again, so he said casually: "It's okay, I don't feel anything." ”

"Do you still go and change the dressing every day?"

"Yes. ”

"In the People's Hospital?"

"Hmm. ”

Stepping forward and grabbing Wu Ming's right arm, Zhong Caini said, "Let's go, what do you want to eat at noon?"

"Doesn't your unit have a working meal?" In fact, Wu Ming didn't want to say this, but when he encountered something related to money, he always couldn't control his mouth.

Zhong Caini didn't seem to hear this, so she took Wu Ming's arm and led him along the street to the east and asked, "When I went to work in the morning, I saw a newly opened small restaurant in front of me, why don't we go over and try it?" Although the tone was a consultative tone, Zhong Caini did not leave Wu Ming a choice.

The small restaurant that Zhong Caini said was not far away, and the two of them walked for less than ten minutes.

"Two of you, please come in, the store has just opened, and all of them are 20% off. ”

Being let in very enthusiastically by the young proprietress and sitting at the dining table where he could still smell the faint smell of paint, Wu Ming looked at Zhong Caini, who made him feel a little uncomfortable, and said, "You seem to have changed." ”

"Where has changed?"

"Without the feminine spirit of driving a red sports car around the city, without the nobility that high-level intellectuals should have, they have become ...... Become....... ”

"Say, what's become?"

Wu Ming wanted to say that he had become mature and steady, and there was a touch of charm and gentleness between his demeanor, but when the words came to his mouth, they became: "I feel like I've become stupid." ”

Not only did she not care, but Zhong Caini stared at Wu Ming's eyes opposite with a slight red cheek and asked, "Have you heard of a sentence?"

"What?"

"One love is stupid for three years. ”

This was completely Zhong Caini's confession to herself, so that Wu Ming's heart involuntarily pounded and suddenly accelerated. "I haven't heard of it, it's pure nonsense. ”

In fact, what Wu Ming wanted to say more in his heart was: "Wouldn't it be more stupid to love even more when you know this?!"

Here it is again, Zhong Caini knows that Wu Ming will pretend to be stupid every time this time. However, if she is as smart as she is, of course she will not say anything, even if she knows that Wu Ming is thick-skinned, she still doesn't want to make Wu Ming feel a little embarrassed because of herself.

This is also what makes Wu Ming difficult. If Zhong Caini is still the original Zhong Caini, no matter what Wu Ming says, he will say it without scruples. However, the current Zhong Caini makes it difficult for him to even say the word "no", so he has to pretend to be stupid.

"The working environment is okay, can you adapt to it?"

understood that Wu Ming was deliberately changing the topic, but Zhong Caini still replied along with his words: "It's good." Today is the second day of work, mainly studying the confidentiality regulations, and has not officially started work. ”

"Does that mean you're going to join the army too?"

"There are no hard and fast rules, and the leader said that it can be chosen according to my personal preferences. ”

"I guess you won't like it. ”

"No, I like it. ”

"Soldiering?"

"yes. I've imagined it many times, but I can't imagine what it would be like to wear a military uniform. ”

"Sassy and heroic. ”

"Thank you. ”

If it was Zhong Caini in the past, she would definitely ask like this: "Are you praising me?" but now she only thanked me gently and sincerely.

"I'm a little curious. ”

"What?"

"If you really choose to join the army, what rank will you be awarded?"

"Do you want to know?" Seeing Wu Ming nodded, Zhong Caini said with a smile: "I asked the leader, and the leader said that according to the regulations, the starting point for doctoral students is a lieutenant colonel. ”

"That'...... Shouldn't you be given the rank of colonel?"

"Won't it be majestic?"

"Of course, the vast majority of people in the military sub-district will salute you when they see you. ”

"What about you?"

"Hello, Caini-san. Saying that, Wu Ming also deliberately stretched out his right hand to Zhong Caini.

didn't want to be grabbed by Zhong Caini, and said with a slight smile: "I like you like this." ”

This was the first time that Zhong Caini had a heartfelt smile on her face at noon today, so Wu Ming was not in a hurry to withdraw the hand she was holding.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Alright. ”

"Then let's go. ”

The two of them stood up hand in hand, walked to the door, and saw the proprietress Wu Ming standing there with a smile on her face, and then remembered that she hadn't paid yet. So, for the first time, he generously took out a 100-yuan bill from his trouser pocket and handed it over with the middle finger and index finger of his left hand. It wasn't intentional to make that kind of action, but because of the injury on his shoulder, and his right hand was held by Zhong Caini, Wu Ming had to be extra careful.

After the proprietress finished looking for change, Zhong Caini took Wu Ming's arm and walked slowly for a while, and suddenly called Wu Ming softly: "Wu Ming." ”

"What?"

"Can you stop worrying about my parents' attitude towards you for a while?"

"No, there's nothing to worry about. Uncles and aunts are very polite to me, aren't they?" Seeing that Zhong Caini's face became a little gloomy, Wu Ming hurriedly added: "Actually, from the standpoint of uncles and aunts, I can fully understand them. With their status, it is not easy to treat an unemployed vagrant like me in this way. I might not be able to do it. ”

Originally, Zhong Caini was quite happy when she heard the first half of the sentence, but when Wu Ming finished speaking, she chewed other flavors from it.

"Wu Ming, my parents don't understand the situation and can't explain it to them. So....... ”

Before she could finish speaking, Zhong Caini's mobile phone rang. As soon as he saw that it was his mother Jin Xiaoying calling, he casually pressed the answer button.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Aren't you in the unit, Nini?"

"No, I'm eating on the street. ”

"How can you run out into the street alone, how dangerous is it?"

"Mom, it's okay, not alone. Glancing at Wu Ming, Zhong Caini said into the phone: "I'm with Wu Ming." ”

"You, that ....... Okay, let's go back to the unit after eating. ”

It should be considered that her daughter was in front of Wu Ming, so Jin Xiaoying on the phone didn't say much.

"Don't mind, my mom didn't mean anything else, she was just scared by the last time we went out. ”

"No, it won't. But your mother's worries are not unnecessary, and you still need to pay more attention in the future. ”

"I will. As long as you're not there, I won't go out. ”

There was no way, hearing Zhong Caini say this, Wu Ming had to pretend to be stupid again.
