Qi Taiguo and Cheng Su had finished their meal when Ning Ge came back, his face etched with fatigue.
"Where have you been? Not coming back even after mealtime?" Cheng Su set out the still-warm meal for him again, frowning as she asked.
"Nothing much, just took a stroll around." Ning Ge smiled.
Cheng Su gave him a look, but said nothing.
Qi Taiguo then asked, "Did you encounter any difficulties?"
Ning Ge was slightly startled internally and hurriedly smiled it off, "Difficulties? Not at all, I’m just a bit tired, hey, where are you two off to? Going out this late?"
He noticed that both of them were dressed neatly and couldn’t help but change the subject with a question.
"The troop is showing a movie tonight; I’m taking your sister-in-law to enjoy the scene!" Qi Taiguo laughed as he looked at Cheng Su.
Ning Ge uttered an "oh," and waved his hand, "Then you two go ahead!"
"Just leave the dishes in the basin after you’re done eating, I’ll wash them when I come back." Cheng Su called out to him before taking a light coat and leaving the house, holding Qi Taiguo’s hand.
Watching them leave, Ning Ge’s smile faded, and he began to wolf down his meal.
The cool night air of late autumn felt like water, and Cheng Su, holding Qi Taiguo’s hand, leaned on him as they walked out of the large courtyard and toward the military area.
"Speaking of which, this is our first real date, isn’t it?" Cheng Su said cheerfully, glancing at the man beside her.
Qi Taiguo looked over and said, "The way you say it, it sounds like you’re pretty dissatisfied!"
Cheng Su sighed, "In the past, I was always chasing after you. When did you ever take the initiative? Watching a movie this time is truly a first for you!"
Qi Taiguo’s back tingled, and he laughed nervously, "This is fine, why start settling scores all of a sudden?"
