Part Three, Chapter 20: Gathering

s long, get out of here."Shu Tinglan was scolded head-on, her face flushed red. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't utter a rebuttal. She had been a bit too hasty, even without understandi...After coming to a stop, she greeted them: "Uncle, brother, sister-in-law" 。Song Jingye glanced at his lips, and Chen Ling also felt that calling him like this seemed a bit off. 。Zheng Ke held his girlfriend's hand and smiled, "You're a bit younger than me." 。“When I usually called them separately, it didn't feel like much of an age difference. But now that I compare them, he really does seem older. He and Zheng Ke should be about the same age.” 。Chen Ling replied with a hint of embarrassment, "I'm used to it." 。Before, when she was with YaoYao, YaoYao also mentioned this issue, but calling Kyono-kun by himself, she couldn't say it out loud. 。Let's go 。Song Jingye called out and took the lead, walking ahead. Chen Ning hurried to follow him. 。Zheng Ke and his girlfriend also walked in together. 。During the meal, Zheng Ke solemnly introduced Song Jingye and Chen Ning to his girlfriend, "When Xiaoning was lost in the mountains, she was found by Team Song, just like a wild child..." 。His girlfriend, Zhang Ni, smiled and lightly pushed him: “Bad boy No one describes people that way.” 。"Because of his description, Song Jingye also glanced at Chen Linghui. He did remember the first time they met; what impressed him most was her eyes, filled with both panic and hope as she looked at him, like a frightened fawn." 。Zheng Ke: "That was in the past, I was telling the truth." 。Who could have imagined back then that our little Ling would grow up to be so graceful and elegant 。“Yes, and she also got into the Foreign Ministry. That’s impressive.” 。Chen Ling was a little embarrassed to be praised by the two of them, especially in front of Song Jingye, so she quickly changed the subject, "Brother, you haven't said how you met your sister-in-law yet." 。Zheng Ke and Zhang Ni smiled at each other, “We met through a blind date. 。"Even Song Jingye was a little surprised, they all disliked blind dates, it felt like being thrown into the market to be weighed and sold by the pound." 。But thinking about myself, I've been under pressure from my family and other reasons to go on blind dates frequently for a while now. 。Zheng Ke: "But at the time, after we met for the first time, we didn't think much of each other." 。First, I went on the blind date because my family arranged it. It was just a formality. Second, we both have different careers – I'm a firefighter and she's a doctor. 。We chatted, and according to this schedule, we wouldn't even see each other a few times a month. 。So, it never happened. 。After Chen Ling listened, she also felt the same way in her heart. It was true that both of their professions required them to be on call and they couldn't balance their families. "What happened then"

Zhang Ni: "Later, there was a time when I was on night shift, he got injured at work, and I just happened to be the one treating him, so we met again. This slowly made us familiar with each other, and naturally we got together." 。This is also good, we can understand each other's work nature, so we can be more tolerant of each other and cherish this relationship more. 。"

Chen Ling replied: "You are all so great" 。Song Jingye didn't say anything, just poured Zheng Ke a glass of wine and toasted him. 。

Song Jingye's work nature made him even more low-key after returning to Beijing. He didn't attend any social events unless necessary, and he didn't socialize with people. Of course, this was different from those who grew up together in the courtyard. 。Zheng Ke remains in contact because of their years-long friendship. 。Zheng Ke raised his glass and took a sip with Song Jingye. The two of them just tasted it lightly, not daring to be unrestrained. 。After finishing his drink, Zheng Ke poured a little beer into Chen Ling's cup and said, "Today, besides introducing Zhang Ni to you, the most important thing is to celebrate our Xiao Ling's return to a good unit. In the future, your career will be prosperous, with countless opportunities waiting for you." 。Then Chen Ning hurried to take the cup, just about to drink a sip like they were doing, when suddenly a hand shot out from beside him: "What's with you drinking alcohol at such a young age" 。。Chen Ning's heart, which had always been suppressed, beat wildly again. Her face flushed before she even took a sip of alcohol. 。Zheng Ke: "What, at such a young age, in your 20s, you're already an adult>>>" 。No worries, big brother will take care of this today. Have a drink, you won't get drunk. 。“

Today the atmosphere is good, everyone is in a good mood. Chen Ling recalled drinking this cup of wine...” 。She actually has drunk alcohol before. When she graduated from university, everyone in her class had a farewell dinner and drank quite a bit. 。She got drunk that time too, but she held her liquor well. She just ended up squatting in the flowerbed outside crying. At that moment, she really wanted to call Song Jingye, but she knew that calling him would be harassing him, so she resisted. Even though she was drunk, she could still control her actions. 。Right now I feel like having a drink, so I secretly glanced at the cup that Song Jingye had taken. After thinking about it, I decided against it. 。But Song Jingye, after hearing Zheng Ke's words, silently put the wine glass in front of her. 。She always called him Uncle, Uncle. He unconsciously treated her as a little girl who hadn't grown up. But after hearing Zheng Ke say this, he was surprised to realize that she had already graduated from graduate school and started working formally. 。

"Drink a little less" 。He said something. 。Thank you, Uncleshe couldn't let it go. She wondered what Zhuo Yu'an would think if he knew his mother held such an attitude towards his daughter.Cheng Zhimin, secretly from Shu Tinglan and Zhuo Yu'an, went to great...
