"Then...thank you."

Zhao Mengyun hummed softly, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Liu Guangqi smiled.

He got on the bicycle, kicked up his footrest, and patted the back seat: "Come on, sit tight."

Zhao Mengyun looked at the back seat and felt a little nervous.

It's the dead of night, and as a lesbian, isn't it a bit inappropriate for me to ride a gay man's bicycle?

But even though she thought so, she didn't want to refuse.

Zhao Mengyun hesitated for a moment.

(acce) He sat down carefully, put the canvas bag on his legs, and quietly grabbed the iron frame of the back seat with both hands.

The car just started moving.

She swayed and leaned forward subconsciously. Her fingertips brushed against Liu Guangqi's back, and she pulled them back suddenly as if they were burned.

Liu Guangqi rides his bike very steadily.

There was a distance of half an arm between the two of them, but there was always a vague connection between them.

The evening breeze lifted the corner of her clothes and brushed across the back of his hand.

"Which way?" he asked.

"After crossing Chang'an Avenue, turn another corner and head to the western suburbs." Zhao Mengyun's fingertips accidentally touched his arm as she pointed the way.

Western suburbs!

Hear these two words.

There was an almost imperceptible pause in Liu Guangqi's pedaling.

There was a glimmer of surprise in his eyes.

But it was immediately replaced by a sense of understanding, without too much surprise or disbelief.

The western suburbs of the old city.

That is not an ordinary place. It used to be a wilderness, but since 1950, various military forces and agencies have taken root there.

What about the Air Force compound, the Navy compound, the General Logistics Department compound...

Over time.

Western Suburbs became synonymous with military compound.

In other words, Zhao Mengyun behind him is the son of a high-ranking official with a good family background.

Liu Guangqi felt emotional.

He had long guessed that Zhao Mengyun's family was extraordinary. After all, if she could join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and afford to wear fashionable tweed coats, how could her family be ordinary?

He originally thought that at best he would be a ministry leader.

But living in the western suburbs compound...that's another level.

Apparently—

Liu Guangqi still underestimated Zhao Mengyun's family.

……

……

but.

Zhao Mengyun's family is her family, what does this have to do with him?

Lived two lives!

Although the family background is unattainable for others, Liu Guangqi does not have too many emotions in his eyes.

He has lived a clear life for a long time.

Naturally, there will be no inferiority complex, or desire to explore, or even curry favor.

Moreover.

He's not bad himself!

Although he is still young, he is already a regular section chief at administrative level 16.

Thanks to being a doctor of mechanical engineering in his previous life, he had technology that was ahead of its time in his mind, so there was naturally no need for him to have any unnecessary emotions.

"Hold on tight."

Liu Guangqi's voice came from the front, with a hint of laughter: "I can't afford to compensate you, a beautiful lady from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if I fall down."

"Find a fight!"

Zhao Mengyun said something annoyed, but secretly curled her fingers tighter.

that's it.

Liu Guangqi's bicycle traveled through the night, its wheels rolling through the western suburbs all the way to the General Logistics Department compound.

The General Logistics Department compound.

At the gate of the compound stood a straight sentry with a sharp gaze. On the huge screen wall, the inscription written in a flamboyant style could not be seen clearly in the night.

But Liu Guangqi knew...

Every military compound has a screen wall with an inscription at the entrance, which is of great significance.

If ordinary people came here, they would not even dare to breathe.

however.

Liu Guangqi seemed to have arrived at an ordinary place. He squeezed the brake firmly, put one foot on the ground, and the bicycle did not move at all.

"arrive."

Zhao Mengyun jumped out of the back seat of the car, straightened her hair that was messed up by the wind, and her eyes were surprisingly bright under the light from the door.

"Thank you...today!"

She looked at Liu Guangqi, her voice filled with joy that she herself hadn't noticed: "I'm very happy today."

"Just be happy."

Liu Guangqi nodded at her with a light smile: "Okay, go in quickly, it's getting late."

There was no unnecessary courtesy, nor the slightest bit of uneasiness.

Zhao Mengyun pursed her lips.

Looking at Liu Guangqi's smiling eyes, I felt a little more favorable towards this man who was neither humble nor arrogant and spoke calmly:

"Then...be careful on the road."

After saying that, she walked into the gate, looking back every few steps.

Only after Zhao Mengyun's figure completely disappeared did Liu Guangqi turn the car around and pedal away slowly.

the whole process.

It was so smooth, as if I was just sending an ordinary friend home.

The two guards in the sentry box in the distance saw the scene clearly and their eyes almost popped out.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes——

This was the first time they saw this beautiful girl in the General Logistics Department compound smile so sweetly at a young man.

The General Logistics Department compound!

Zhao family.

As soon as Zhao Mengyun opened the door, Zhao Mengsheng ran over.

He was holding a military chess board in his hand, his eyes were wide open, and he looked like a little mouse guarding a granary.

"Sister! You're back!"

As he spoke, the tip of his nose was almost touching Zhao Mengyun's body, and he sniffed hard.

"Hmm—it smells like soda! And... a strange smell of soap!"

Zhao Mengyun was so amused by his mischievous appearance that she reached out to twist his ears.

"Your little nose is smarter than a dog's. Have you finished your homework?"

“I finished it a long time ago!”

Zhao Mengsheng raised his chin, with a smug look on his face, saying, "I've seen through you a long time ago."

"Mom has a meeting today!"

"Before leaving, he specifically told me to go to the 7 o'clock movie. If you're not home by 9:30, he'll have the guards go out and arrest you."

As he spoke, his eyes rolled around and he lowered his voice to her ear.

"But don't worry, sister. Mom and I have made a promise."

"I said you must be with the comrade who caught the thief a few days ago. Tell her not to worry about it. He's an advanced member. How could he possibly kidnap you?"

"Zhao Mengsheng!"

A burst of heat rushed to the top of Zhao Mengyun's head, and her cheeks became hot instantly.

I reached out to cover his chattering mouth, but he dodged it as nimbly as a monkey.
