When he saw Nuannuan smiling so happily in the photo as he fed her, a gentle smile appeared on his face.
After Chi Yang received the photo, he returned to his seat. Nuannuan quickly reached out and snatched Chi Yang’s phone to look at their photo. When she saw the gentleness in Chi Yang’s eyes when he put food into her bowl, she immediately fell in love with the photo and forwarded it to herself. Then, she unlocked her phone and turned the photo into her screensaver.
Chi Yang did not do that. After all, the nature of his job was different—he did not want his enemies to see Nuannuan’s picture and go after her. Therefore, not only did he not set it up as a screensaver, he even placed it inside a secret folder to protect it. When he wanted to see it, he could pull it out anytime.
Meanwhile, the girls at the table who took pictures of Chi Yang and Nuannuan lost their appetite.
Just by looking at the small smile that seeped out from Chi Yang, they were already full—full from their onslaught of public display of affection.
Nuannuan was a heavy and fast eater. Just as they were about to end the battle, someone suddenly descended the stairs.
The moment this person appeared at the staircase, he attracted Chi Yang and Nuannuan’s attention immediately.
This was because this person was none other than Leng Jinpeng, who had single-handedly defeated the military base—the most pitiful commander-in-chief.
“Tsk tsk—”
Leng Jinpeng was also surprised to see Chi Yang and Nuannuan, but what did they mean by directing the “tsk tsk” at him in unison?
Why did he see pity in their eyes?
He felt that ever since he had undergone the surgery, his body had never been better! It did not hurt anymore.
Why were they pitying him?
“What’s with that look on your faces?”
Leng Jinpeng could not take it anymore. He walked over to Chi Yang and Nuannuan and asked.
Chi Yang looked at him with a stern face that was accompanied by pity in his eyes. He did not reply.
On the other hand, Nuannuan could not help but ask, “Uncle Leng, are you eating hotpot alone?”
“Why not?” Hotpot was delicious, and he was alone. Could he not eat hotpot alone?
Zhong Nuannuan shook her head. “It’s not impossible. Uncle Leng, do you know what’s worse than spending Valentine’s Day alone?”
Leng Jinpeng thought, ‘…I don’t want to know.’
“It’s eating hotpot alone! Those who eat hotpot come in groups. Even if they’re not with their lovers, they have to be friends or family. So, if you can’t even find someone to accompany you to eat hotpot, don’t you think it’s worse than spending Valentine’s Day alone?”
“Nuannuan, why are you being so blunt? Don’t talk about that anymore. He won’t be able to stand it,” said Chi Yang from the side, trying to be considerate to Leng Jinpeng.
This ran through Leng Jinpeng’s head. ‘…!!!’
“Uncle Leng, where are you going?”
Seeing Leng Jinpeng leave with his bag, Nuannuan could not help but ask. After all, she felt sorry for Uncle Leng since he was alone.
“I’m going back to the military base, of course! I’m not going to wait for you guys to continue stuffing me with dog food!” He had already refused to accept the dog food from their love.
“Wait, I’ll send you. I’m going back to the military base anyway.”
“No need, you should send Nuannuan.”
If he waited until Chi Yang sent Nuannuan back before returning to the military base, god knows how much dog food would he have to chow on along the way? There was no way he was doing it! He would rather fight!
“Uncle Leng, I’m not going to class in the afternoon, so I decided to stay at the military base. We’re almost done eating. We can leave after paying the bill.”
Therefore, Leng Jinpeng was unwillingly and forcefully dragged into the car.
