Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 83 Miss you
Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming exchanged a glance and smiled gently: "Alright, since you can afford to play along, then I'm relieved."

Everyone: "???"

Several pairs of eyes stared at Lu Jingming in surprise, somewhat puzzled.

What does this have to do with whether the Marine Corps can afford to play this game?
Before they could figure it out, Wei Qingsong had already calmly dialed a number.

A melodious cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded, sounding particularly abrupt in the already quiet private room.

Zheng Xun frowned and said unhappily, "Who's spoiling the mood? Hang up the phone right now, don't stop everyone from watching the show."

Wei Qingsong glanced at him and suddenly wondered whether it was a good thing or a bad thing that Bai Rushuang, such a sensible and good girl, was entangled with Zheng Xun, a person who had no empathy.

Lu Jingming remained calm and composed as he took out his phone and said indifferently, "Sorry, it's me."

"You..." Zheng Xun choked for a moment, his momentum weakening, and said in a muffled voice, "You can't be an exception. Didn't you see that Consultant Wei is on the phone? Turn off your phone and be quiet."

He had barely finished speaking when he received a sharp rap on the head.

Director Zheng glared and said, "You brat, who do you talk to like that? Don't you know any manners?"

Zheng Xun scratched his head and said irritably, "That's right. I didn't say anything wrong. You should do the right thing in the right situation. You're the one who taught me this. Everyone is having so much fun. It would be such a downer if he answered the phone."

"You still say that, huh?" Director Zheng rolled up his sleeves to scare him.

As the two argued, Lu Jingming let out a snort, his voice unusually playful: "Didn't you want to see a good show? If I don't accept, how can I give you that opportunity?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone stopped ringing; the call had already been connected.

Lu Jingming's words startled Zheng Xun slightly, and then, as if realizing something, his gaze suddenly turned to Wei Qingsong.

Wei Qingsong smiled and waved her phone at him.

She moved the phone to her ear, cleared her throat, and said softly, "Lu Jingming."

"I miss you so much."

She spoke those few words with such tenderness and emotion, as if a thousand feelings had been transformed into whispered words of longing.

She really missed Lu Jingming.

Someone once said that if you dream of someone you haven't seen in a long time, it means that your connection with them is slowly fading away.

Therefore, she didn't even dare to dream about Lu Jingming, for fear that their relationship would end there.

She could only trace his still face in the photograph with her eyes again and again when she was lucid.

Every time she saw his photo, she felt an unbearable heartache, yet she still looked at it every day without getting tired of it, so consciously suffering, as if she wanted to remember this feeling.

At that time, she never thought that she would be able to return to Tangzhou one day, and she was filled with fear of the unknown future.

Fortunately, she had the companionship of her adoptive parents and the guidance of her mentor, but she always felt empty inside, as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out, and her heart was no longer whole. Only when she thought of Lu Jingming, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, could she feel a little at ease.

Hearing her soft words, Lu Jingming's heart fluttered slightly, and his deep voice softened involuntarily: "I understand."

He paused, seemingly feeling that such a brief response wasn't quite right, and added, "I miss you too."

The longing was uncontrollable and difficult to express; only he himself knew best how profound and enduring the image that haunted his mind in the dead of night was.

To say such a thing in front of everyone is already considered to be breaking Lu Jingming's usual practice.

This heartfelt confession left everyone speechless.

Is it as they think?

Was Consultant Wei's first love actually Captain Lu?
Is this reasonable?

They had originally wanted to see Lu Jingming's reaction, but they never expected that the clown would be themselves.

Zheng Xun's face alternated between pale and flushed, unable to accept this fact.

His original intention was to embarrass Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming, but things took a turn for the worse than he expected, and now he was the one who was embarrassed.

The onlookers had various expressions and whispered among themselves, but Chen Jin leisurely ate his dessert and even let out a satisfied burp.

Look at these people, so naive and ignorant. This is no big deal.

Since Wei Qingsong returned, Lu Jingming has been behaving strangely, and he has a feeling that the two of them will reconcile sooner or later.

I have to say, being in God's-eye view is just awesome!
Just then, Xiao Song leaned over mysteriously and whispered, "Brother Chen, let me tell you a secret, I've noticed for a while that Captain Lu and Advisor Wei are acting strangely, but I haven't dared to tell anyone. I'm so frustrated!"

"Do you even need to tell me? Anyone with eyes can see that." Chen Jin thought to himself.

Not wanting to discourage the younger generation, he smiled and said, "Your observation skills are quite good, keep up the good work!"

Xiao Song was overjoyed to receive the praise and grinned like an idiot.

The private room remained silent for a long time. Everyone seemed to be trying to accept the news, or perhaps they had all been drinking and their minds were still not quite processing it. Everyone had the same blank expression on their face.

Bai Rushuang was the first to react, beaming with delight as she chimed in, "So, you two are each other's first love? Does that mean you went from school uniforms to wedding dresses? That sounds so romantic."

"I suppose so." Wei Qingsong smiled faintly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

If it weren't for that nightmare six years ago, they might actually have gone from school uniforms to wedding dresses.

Even though their relationship is now back to normal, there are still six years between them, and there is also her unspoken secret.

It is precisely because there are so many regrets that I want to try my best to make up for them, and I don't want to leave indelible pain for the rest of my life.

She is no longer the Wei Qingsong who was manipulated by others six years ago, and she will not let the same thing happen again.

She had had enough of the pain and torment of being separated from her beloved.

Fortunately, Lu Jingming remained where he was and did not leave, and she will cherish this hard-won happiness even more.

As for lies and concealment, those are only temporary... Wei Qingsong told herself.

Director Zheng also laughed heartily and offered his congratulations: "You two are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven. I congratulate you both in advance."

Lu Jingming nodded slightly and replied, "Thank you."

This interlude revived the previously silent atmosphere, with Director Zheng taking the lead and the others following suit.

"Come on, let's raise a toast to these two golden couples!"

Even Bai Rushuang, who wasn't a big drinker, stood up with her wine cup and clinked glasses with everyone.

As he sat down, he accidentally knocked her bag off the back of the chair.

The bag's zipper wasn't closed properly, and the contents were scattered all over the floor.

She quickly bent down to pick it up, and Zheng Xun, who was sitting next to her, naturally got up to help her immediately.

A card fell to the side of his hand, and Zheng Xun glanced at it casually as he picked it up.

On the back of the card were two words: Yan Song.

Below is a phone number.

Zheng Xun immediately felt a sense of crisis and subconsciously asked, "Who is Yan Song? Is he a man or a woman?"

Wei Qingsong paused in her drinking, looked up at the two of them, and her gaze sharpened slightly.
