Married to the army by mistake, abstinent boss becomes addicted to pampering his wife

Chapter 391 Extra Chapter 52 I Like You
Seeing Lu Tingting eating with such joy, Zhou Nian's eyes overflowed with doting affection.

He said casually, "This is your first time in the capital, and you're not familiar with the area. I'll go with you to see Teacher Shen tomorrow. I'll also go back to school to visit my teacher."

Before Lu Tingting could decide, he added, "There's a steamed bun shop next to the school. Their pork and scallion buns are so fragrant and juicy. Let's leave early tomorrow and go there for breakfast."

"it is good."

Lu Tingting's mouth watered at the sight of the "fragrant and juicy pork and scallion buns," and she agreed without a second thought.

The next day, the two got up early and went to the steamed bun shop.

The capital city gets light early; by 6:30 a.m., the sun is already halfway up the pole, and the morning light bathes the entire city in a soft golden glow.

The red and white bus slowly drove past Tiananmen Square. Gazing at the majestic city gate with its red walls and golden tiles, Lu Tingting couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "This is Tiananmen Square? It's so magnificent!"

Zhou Nian lowered his head slightly and said to her, "There are many scenic spots in the capital. We can stay for a couple more days, watch the flag-raising ceremony, and then visit the Forbidden City and Huguo Temple. There is a food street near Huguo Temple where you can buy some local specialties to take back with you."

"Okay!"

The pork and scallion buns truly lived up to their reputation. The bun skin was thin, snow-white, and soft, and the pork filling had a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat. Paired with the sweet and spicy aroma of scallions, one bite was simply irresistible.

Lu Tingting finished two in one go.

If it weren't for the anniversary celebration and her desire to maintain a ladylike image, she could have easily eaten two more.

After breakfast, Zhou Nian took her to the Foreign Languages ​​Institute where Shen Yanzhi was studying.

Just past 8 o'clock, Shen Yanzhi had not yet arrived at school, so Zhou Nian led her on a tour of the college.

Soon we arrived at the faculty and staff bulletin board.

"Teacher Shen has a very striking face, no wonder you've been thinking about her for so long."

On anniversary, looking at Shen Yanzhi's two-inch black and white photo, Lu Tingting teased him.

Lu Tingting didn't respond to his words; her gaze also fell on Shen Yanzhi's photo.

She used to think Shen Yanzhi was indeed handsome, with delicate features and a gentle demeanor.

Just seeing it from afar makes my heart pound uncontrollably.

But looking at Shen Yanzhi in the photo, she felt only calm and unfamiliarity.

"Lu Tingting?"

When Lu Tingting turned around and saw Shen Yanzhi, she was a little stunned.

A year has passed, and Shen Yanzhi's appearance hasn't changed much; his sophisticated attire adds to his refined elegance.

Shen Yanzhi smiled with surprise, "Is it really you? I thought I had mistaken you for someone else. You've come to the capital?"

Lu Tingting nodded, "Teacher Shen, I..."

"Hello, Teacher Shen, I am Zhou Nian."

Shen Yanzhi shook Zhou Nian's outstretched hand and nodded politely: "Hello."

"Teacher Shen, I also graduated from Capital University. Tingting accompanied me on a trip back to my old haunts, and we stopped by to visit you."

Shen Yanzhi suddenly realized, "I have class in the morning, but if you have time at noon, let's have lunch together."

Zhou Nian smiled and glanced at Lu Tingting, then said, "I'll listen to her."

Shen Yanzhi also looked at Lu Tingting, "It's rare for you to come to the capital, so let me do my part as a host."

"No need, Teacher Shen, I just happened to be passing by and stopped by to see you."

After saying that, she grabbed Zhou Nian's arm and said, "Zhou Nian is my boyfriend, and we're planning to get married!"

Shen Yanzhi was even more surprised, "Congratulations! When is your wedding date? I'll definitely attend if I have time."

Zhou Nian naturally took over the conversation: "The date hasn't been set yet. We'll let you know in advance once it's set."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

Shen Yanzhi had to attend class, so after chatting briefly with the two, he returned to his office. Watching him leave, Zhou Nian said to Lu Tingting, "When we get back, I'll have my family pick a date to propose marriage."

Lu Tingting's pretty face flushed red, and she withdrew her hand from his arm. "I said that on purpose for Teacher Shen to hear. Don't try to take advantage of me!"

After saying that, she complained about Anniversary, "It's all your fault for disrupting my rhythm and making me talk nonsense. I originally wanted to tell Teacher Shen that I no longer like him."

"Please understand, I can't bear to see the girl I like lower herself in front of another man. It's lucky that you like her; it's his lack of taste. Your persistence and courage don't need to be shown to a blind man."

The anniversary message felt as real as a filling and swelling sensation in Lu Tingting's heart.

She always thought that it was because she wasn't pretty or outstanding enough that she couldn't win Shen Yanzhi's favor.

She felt inferior and distressed because of this.

She even fantasized that if she had half of Jiang Moli's beauty and intelligence, she might be able to find love.

But today, she finally understands that someone who truly loves you will love you no matter what you are like.

"Fine, I'm magnanimous, I forgive you."

Seeing her coquettish expression, Zhou Nian couldn't help but smile. "Thank you. To show my sincerity, I'll treat you to braised pork at the cafeteria for lunch. The braised pork there is quite good."

"can."

The two toured the campus of the Capital University together, had braised pork in the cafeteria for lunch, and visited their teacher who was celebrating anniversaries in the afternoon.

In the evening, the two had a simple dinner and then returned to the hotel to rest.

The two got up and set off at 4 a.m. the next morning.

I arrived at Chang'an Avenue in front of Tiananmen Square before 6 a.m., but the flag-viewing area was already crowded with citizens and tourists.

At 6:00 a.m. sharp, the flag-raising ceremony began.

Accompanied by a rousing melody, three brave flag bearers marched in step toward the flagpole, holding the national flag high, and the citizens watching the ceremony spontaneously sang the national anthem along with them.

Lu Tingting sang along, her face beaming with immense pride and joy.

After the flag-raising ceremony ended, the citizens who had come to watch gradually dispersed.

"Let's go, I'll take you to try the douzhi (fermented mung bean juice) that people in the capital love to drink."

Lu Tingting was still immersed in the emotion of the flag-raising ceremony, her cheeks as radiant as the morning sun. "Is douzhi the same as soy milk?"

"No, it's a different, very unique flavor."

Seeing students carrying their backpacks to school on the street, Lu Tingting thought of something and asked, "Won't coming to the capital affect your work?"

"It will have an impact, but it's worth it."

He laughed after finishing his remark.

Lu Tingting looked at him and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

I laugh because I'm happy, and I'm happy because you care about me.

Lu Tingting blushed but remained defiant: "Who cares about you? You came here on your own. I won't be responsible if you lose your job."

Suddenly, Zhou Nian stopped and pulled her to point directly above Tiananmen Square.

"You can't lie in front of a great person. Is the person you like me?"

Lu Tingting's cheeks flushed bright red, and she stared at him for a long time before finally asking, "Then what do you like about me?"

Zhou Nian gazed at her tenderly and said, "When I first met you, I thought you loved to eat and were a bit silly. I thought a girl like you would be easily fooled."

"Later I gradually discovered that you have many qualities that I admire. You are lovely, kind-hearted, sincere, and have pure feelings."

"Most importantly, my heart will beat faster when I see you, feel sweetness when I think of you, and feel sad and uneasy when I hear that you are seeing other men."

"Liking you is a decision of the heart, not a decision of the mouth."

What I want to say is, Tingting, I truly like you.
