CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 424: A SOLDIER IS LOOKING

The engineering office has been quite peaceful lately; it might be the best atmosphere in recent years.

The reason? None other than Tang Wei’s seemingly good mood recently, so he hasn’t been picking on people in the office, and sometimes even jokes around with Liu Zhi.

This left Liu Zhi completely bewildered.

Who knows which nerve of his got tweaked this time.

But whatever it is, it’s good as long as he isn’t picking on people.

"What do you think is up with him?" One day in September, Liu Zhi quietly asked Gu Lingling, having surprisingly gotten one of the cookies Tang Wei brought to the office.

Those cookies can only be bought in the Capital City or Sea City.

But Tang Wei was assigned here after graduating from Kyoto University, and they say his family is also from the Capital City, so having such cookies isn’t surprising.

"What? You’re not happy when he treats you nicely?" Before Gu Lingling could respond, Zhang Shiqiang knocked his head with a book and said, "I think you’re just asking for a beating."

Isn’t that the truth.

"Lingling, there’s a soldier looking for you at the front gate." Gu Lingling chuckled, getting ready to tease Liu Zhi, when someone called from the doorway.

A soldier!

Gu Lingling stood up from her seat in a flash.

Could it be that Yang Yunhai is back?

She hurriedly dashed out, but in her haste, she bumped into the table leg and winced. Just as Liu Zhi was about to ask if she was okay, she had already vanished.

"This girl, someone who doesn’t know might think someone really important to her has come." Liu Zhi joked with a laugh.

Since Gu Lingling joined the engineering department, he had never seen her so flustered and delighted.

His words might have been thoughtless, but Tang Wei heard him loud and clear, looked at Liu Zhi, and then stood up and walked out.

Zhou Qing shook his head and followed him out.

Among everyone, Zhou Qing understood Tang Wei’s changes these days more than anyone else.

He’s clearly got feelings for Gu Lingling.

That’s why he’s employing this roundabout tactic, hoping to change the attitude of those around him before implementing his plan.

But despite doing all this, except for his good friend here, no one even remotely thought it was for Gu Lingling, that he was doing this because of her.

Now suddenly hearing someone was looking for Gu Lingling, and it was a soldier, Tang Wei’s first thought was of the man who taught Ma Chuang a lesson at the factory gate that day.

Gu Lingling called him Brother Yang, and they seemed quite familiar with each other.

For some reason, seeing Gu Lingling run out so frantically, Tang Wei instinctively felt a bad premonition.

The Brother Yang she mentioned must have a special relationship with her.

So, he couldn’t sit still and wanted to find out more.

"Are you really just going out like this?" Zhou Qing called after him, "What will you do if it turns out to be true?"

Tang Wei, not knowing what to do, looked blankly at Zhou Qing, "I don’t know."

"Take a moment to calm down." If he goes out now and sees Gu Lingling really close with that soldier, wouldn’t it just be self-inflicted pain?

Tang Wei nodded and they both stood under the big willow tree at the entrance of the engineering department.

"If you stay silent like this, who will know what you’re thinking?" Zhou Qing had advised him several times, but Tang Wei wouldn’t listen.

"Hmm, if it’s not true, I’ll tell her clearly." Tang Wei looked towards the entrance.

From Gu Lingling’s flustered state earlier, he suddenly realized that he might like her more than he thought.

Tang Wei anxiously glanced towards the entrance again.

Gu Lingling ran all the way to the front gate, and sure enough, saw a man in a green military uniform standing there.

"You... why are you back?"
