Chapter 126 Strange

The issue of conduct in male-female relationships can be a big deal or a small deal, depending on how smart the two people are and how they choose to act.

Fortunately, neither of them is married. If they were about to get married, the union would at most give them a reprimand or a lecture.

If someone has an affair, that's considered hooliganism, which not only means being fired from the factory but also being sent to a lower-level position.

"It's highly likely that we'll be eating wedding candy."

Tang Tian is stupid and clumsy, but she is also timid and afraid of trouble. It would be better for her to obediently marry someone she dislikes in every way than to be sent to a farm for reform.

As for Qin Jianjun, he is very clear-headed and will make a choice that is more advantageous to himself than Tang Tian.

"I guess so."

Hu Yong thought about it and agreed that it was the right thing to do; anyone with a brain would know what to do.

However, deep down he still hoped that Tang Tian could be more troublesome, the kind that would just make him disappear.

Shrugging, Hu Yong opened the lunchbox in his hand and naturally changed the subject, "Since you couldn't get the braised pork ribs you wanted, I replaced them with braised fish. The fish from Duyan Reservoir is quite good!"

"Okay, I'll eat whatever's available, I'm not picky."

"Officer Su, is Office Manager Su here?"

A loud shout came from outside the office door, causing the two people who were about to bury themselves in their food to exchange a glance.

Putting down her chopsticks, Su Ning stood up, quickly walked to the door, and opened it.

The person standing outside looked unfamiliar; he appeared to be in his early twenties, with rosy cheeks and white teeth, and was quite handsome.

"Officer Su?"

"It's me, you?"

"Someone is looking for you at the door and asked me to call you."

"OK, thanks."

"Hehe, you're welcome, it's nothing. I'll be going now."

The person smiled sheepishly, scratched the back of his head, and turned to leave.

Su Ning returned to her desk, closing the lunchbox she hadn't even touched yet, while wondering who might be looking for her at this time.

Thinking of Xiaolian at home, I decided to go back and visit her after leaving the factory. I'll take care of the report and such later in the afternoon.

After saying goodbye to Hu Yong, I grabbed my canvas bag and lunchbox and headed to the factory gate.

When they saw Yan Bei standing there, his body as straight as a pine tree, exuding an aura of "keep away" and a chilling aura emanating from him, they were immediately struck by his presence.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. The braid on her chest swung gracefully behind her as she took larger steps.

"What brings you here? That's quite a surprise."

When he heard that familiar yet slightly playful voice behind him, Yan Bei turned around almost without thinking.

The moment he saw her, his deep eyes instantly brought to life the longing he had felt for her over the past few days, and he could no longer hold back his overwhelming emotions.

Just that one glance was enough to instantly dispel all the physical and mental exhaustion from three consecutive days of sleepless nights, replaced by an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Looking at her with almost greedy eyes, Yan Bei thought that this time he truly understood why some people say that there is no cure for lovesickness except for one person.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Subconsciously touching her cheek, Su Ning wondered: Did she have something dirty on her face?
Yan Bei smiled and shook his head without explaining, but his gaze lingered slightly on her hand. "Haven't eaten yet?"

"I was just about to eat, but I didn't have time."

"Let's go to the state-run restaurant, I'll treat you to a big meal."

Considering that the two hadn't seen each other for more than ten days, and that this workaholic had come out of the research lab specifically to see her, Su Ning hesitated for only a few seconds before nodding and giving up her plan to go home for her lunch break.

The state-run restaurant is located on Beizheng Street, not far from the textile factory; it's only about a ten-minute walk away.

We walked and chatted and before we knew it, we arrived at the restaurant entrance. Because it was mealtime, there were quite a few people in the restaurant lobby, with only one or two empty seats by the wall.

Yan Bei went to order food to reserve a seat. The two of them were quite in sync; they understood each other's intentions with just a glance upon entering.

A short while later, Yan Bei brought the food to the table where Su Ning was.

"Try stir-fried pork with tofu, and stir-fried eggplant with green beans, and see how they taste."

"I also have some braised fish from our factory canteen. I heard that the fish is tender and delicious, so I'll have to try it."

Three dishes for two people, especially the stir-fried pork and braised tofu, were quite generous in portion size, enough for the two of them to eat.

The meticulous Yan Bei had already figured out her preferences, so he wasn't worried about ordering things that wouldn't suit her taste.
So when he saw her repeatedly reaching for the dishes he had ordered with her chopsticks, his smile couldn't help but deepen.

"How long are you planning to rest this time?" "Probably two or three days, as usual. Speaking of which, I should thank you."

"Huh? What do you mean? Why are you thanking me?"

Pointing to the yellow jade pendant hanging around his neck, Yan Bei truly felt that the smooth progress of this research was inseparable from it.

Since he started wearing it, he has never taken it off except when showering or even sleeping.

Whether it was because the jade had a spirit or because it was a gift from his beloved, he always felt that he could concentrate and focus his mind and energy, making his research and calculations much more efficient.

Then, recalling Luo Shuangshuang's good fortune on Mid-Autumn Festival and the black jade pendant that inexplicably cracked with two thin cracks.

He couldn't explain why, but he vaguely felt that the jade stones she gave away were very spiritual.

"That means Puguang Temple truly lives up to its name."

“I also have two pieces of jade with good quality. I’ll send them over to the master to have them blessed another day.”

Having lived in Gushi for a year or two, he had naturally heard locals talk about the miraculous power of the legends surrounding Puguang Temple.

With Ms. Xiang's birthday approaching, if it really is that effective, it would be quite appropriate to give it as a gift.

After ending the topic, Yanbei subtly began to inquire about her situation over the past two weeks.

When she openly mentioned Qiao Yuan's public confession, and then when her colleagues tripped her up and she was blocked by a few thugs, it was all so heartbreaking.

It felt like all the seasonings had been spilled in my heart, a mix of emotions welling up all at once.

There was a mix of sour and bitter feelings, along with a faint sense of crisis and self-reproach for not being there for her when she was in danger.

"I'll make you a little thing in the next couple of days to hold your secret weapon."

Three-pepper powder is quite useful for surprise attacks and saving lives in critical moments, and the potion she developed is also quite good.

In addition, there are special, more portable, and easier-to-launch small devices...

Yan Bei pondered for a moment and came up with some ideas, deciding to start designing and making it as soon as possible after returning home.

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

Without refusing his kindness and concern, Su Ning is now getting along more and more casually with the two of them, like old friends who have known each other for many years.

"By the way, Yanbei, if possible, could you get me a set of laboratory equipment?"

"For pharmaceutical research?"

"Ah."

"Let me think of a way. It shouldn't be a big problem. I'll make some small things and send them to you together."

"Okay, Fu Jiaming should be back from his business trip in the next couple of days. Come over to my house for a get-together then, and I'll cook you something delicious as a thank you!"

Yan Bei chuckled as she pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth: Did she think she was Fu Jiaming, that glutton, trying to coax her?

However, he is indeed very happy to be invited to spend a long time together and will not be foolish enough to refuse.

"Suning! What happened to you...?"

Qiao Yuan's joyful voice suddenly rang out, but before she could finish speaking, the smile on her face quickly disappeared when she saw the person next to her, and she was passively silenced.

His face is so distinctive that even if you've only seen him once or twice, you could never mistake him for someone else.

Why would Fu Jiaming's friend, who isn't from the machinery factory next door, be here, eating and chatting with Su Ning in an unusually harmonious atmosphere?

It was like being forcefully plunged into a vat of vinegar and forced to drink a large amount of it; the sourness was so intense that it distorted Qiao Yuan's facial features.

"Why are you here?"

"Oh, why can't I be here?"

Love rivals are extremely jealous when they meet.

The two stared at each other, their gazes seemingly crackling with sparks.

Chen Baishi, who was always by his side, noticed that something was wrong and carefully took a few steps back, afraid that he might be accidentally injured or caught in the crossfire.

Su Ning, who also noticed the inexplicable hostility between the two, thought of Fu Jiaming, who always argued with Qiao Yuan whenever they met, and realized that it wasn't surprising that the two of them were like this.

"Qiao Yuan, I'm having dinner with friends and don't want to be disturbed."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuan turned to look at her with a heart full of sadness, "Su Ning, you said it yourself, I am also your friend."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll take it back."

Qiao Yuan was both shocked and incredulous: ...

You can't take back what you said?
