Seeing Ling Changfeng's reply, Xu Xinghe was a little surprised that this guy has learned how to play tricks now.
He turned off the email, and decided not to guess at all, and decided to go and see for himself what Marshal Ling was up to after get off work.
"Did something good happen?" Gu Nai who was sitting across from him suddenly asked Xu Xinghe's expression.
Xu Xinghe was startled, only then did he realize that the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch involuntarily.
He restrained his smile: "It's nothing, let's eat."
The two sat facing each other, eating and chatting with each other.
Xu Xinghe asked: "Are you three groups busy recently?"
Gu Nai said: "It's okay recently, I was busy a while ago."
Xu Xinghe nodded, and asked again: "By the way, is the intern in your department gone?"
Gu Nai: "..."
He pushed his glasses and smiled at Xu Xinghe: "No, it's still early, he will at least wait until... things are done before leaving."
His voice grew softer until the last words were barely audible.
But Xu Xinghe was concentrating on eating, so he didn't care too much.
After lunch, Team Leader Xu stretched himself, got up and said to Gu Nai who had just finished eating, "Let's go."
After finishing speaking, he threw the bento box into the dining trash can next to him, and left here with Gu Nai.
After the two left, a figure came out from the corner.
Dong Yue stared at the backs of the two men with gloomy eyes, suddenly raised his hand, and quietly took a photo...
Xu Xinghe was absent-minded from time to time in the afternoon.
As soon as I was free, I couldn't help but wonder why Ling Changfeng was looking for him tonight.
This state continued until after get off work.
At six o'clock in the evening, Xu Xinghe turned off the optical brain on time, picked up his coat and went outside.
Ryan stopped him suddenly: "Team leader! We, Ethan and Xiao Zhou are planning to go to the movies tonight, do you want to come together? We are booking tickets."
"No, I have an appointment tonight." Xu Xinghe walked out while putting on his coat, and when he passed by a few people, he paused and asked, "What are you going to see?"
Ryan replied: "Ethan and I want to watch "Twenty Love Story", and Xiao Zhou wants to watch "Alien: Tinder Awakening". He lost two to one."
Xu Xinghe raised his eyebrows: "I suggest you watch "The Awakening of Tinder"."
Ryan asked, "Why??"
"You three bachelors with an average age of almost 30, what are you going to see a 20-year-old love story? When the movie theater is full of young couples, you will be surrounded, isn't it embarrassing?"
"It's not embarrassing, what's so embarrassing?" Ryan plausibly said: "Although we are single, we still have to experience the sour atmosphere of being in love!"
Xu Xinghe: "...then go and feel it, I hope you feel it fully."
After finishing speaking, he waved goodbye to them: "Goodbye, I'm going to make an appointment."
"Huh?" Ajia, who was applying lipstick with a makeup mirror, raised her head when she heard this: "Team leader, are you going on a date too?"
Xu Xinghe: "..." Talking about a date always feels weird.
He shook his head: "It's not a date."
Ajia asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"
Xu Xinghe shrugged: "I don't know either."
"Oh, I thought you were going out with Marshal Ling." As soon as Ajia heard that he was not on a date, she immediately lost the interest in gossiping, turned her head and continued to touch up her makeup.
Xu Xinghe said dryly: "You're right in thinking so—following him is dating him, but not going on a date."
As soon as the words were finished, several people in the office raised their heads almost at the same time, staring at him intently.
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He was stared at inexplicably by several people: "What are you looking at me for?"
Ryan: "I don't quite understand. If you go out with your husband at night, what else can you do besides going on a date?"
Ajia nodded and said in agreement: "That's right, you still say it's not a date?"
Ethan: "Maybe it's just going to a high-end restaurant to have a candlelight dinner together, and drink a little wine..."
Ajia: "Isn't that still a date?"
When Xu Xinghe heard "Drink a little wine under the flowers before the moon", he suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly became a little subtle, and his voice was also tinged with embarrassment and anger: "What can you think about all day long? ? Can’t you think of something pure?”
After finishing speaking, he quickly walked out of the gate without looking back: "Let's go, see you tomorrow."
The other four members of the group looked at each other in blank dismay—
"Did we just say something impure?"
"I don't know, I just said something about a date."
"What's wrong with dating? Isn't dating already the purest act between partners? Why does he still want to do it??"
"Could it be possible that you still want to make humans..."
"Shh! Be careful when the team leader comes back to kill you."
In September, autumn is high and airy, and the evening breeze on the top of the building is cool.
This time Ling Changfeng didn't ask his little friend to wait.
When Xu Xinghe swiped his card all the way through the gates and came to the special landing platform, the vehicles of the Marshal's Mansion had already parked there waiting for a long time.
When Colonel Lewis, the captain of the personal guard, saw him coming, he quickly got off the passenger seat and opened the rear door for him.
A high-end men's perfume smell hits the face.
Xu Xinghe was slightly taken aback.
Ling Changfeng is wearing all black today, a well-cut, well-fitting black shirt and black straight-leg pants, which together bring out his natural golden ratio and his good figure created by years of exercise.
Only then did he remember that he said he wanted to exercise with Ling Changfeng, but since he couldn't get up at six in the morning, he still didn't implement it.
Although today's attire is quite casual for Ling Changfeng, but he sat there meticulously, with his back straight, and his extremely upright sitting posture made people feel that he was going to attend some important meeting, Instead of relaxing and relaxing.
Ling Changfeng turned to look at him: "Why don't you get in the car?"
Only then did Xu Xinghe step up, sat on the seat, fastened his seat belt, and asked curiously, "What are we going to do tonight?"
The car that came to pick him up today was a medium-sized business car with front and rear partitions. There was a small bar behind the car, and the evening news was playing silently on the touch screen in the middle of the bar.
Ling Changfeng looked at the news images flashing back and forth on the screen, and replied seemingly casually: "Go to the movies."
His expression was calm, but his tone sounded a little tense.
Xu Xinghe was startled: "Huh?"
Even the movement of wearing seat belts stopped.
Ling Changfeng squinted at his face, and saw Xu Xinghe's expression was blank, as if he didn't seem to be surprised as expected, so he asked calmly, "What's the matter, don't you like it?"
His voice was naturally low, but he spoke softly at the moment, which well concealed the imperceptible anxiety in his words.
"No, I quite like watching movies." Xu Xinghe said, "But why did you suddenly want to go to the movies?"
Ling Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief silently, and said without looking sideways: "It's nothing, I just want to watch it."
"Oh." Xu Xinghe nodded, but didn't say anything else.
The surroundings became quiet.
This silence made the smell in the cabin even stronger.
Xu Xinghe wrinkled his nose, turned his head to look at Ling Changfeng, and asked incredulously, "Are you wearing men's perfume?"
Ling Changfeng: "..."
He denied it without changing his face: "It's not me."
Xu Xinghe: "Then this smell..."
Ling Changfeng said decisively: "It's Qin Yuan."
Xu Xinghe: "?"
Marshal Ling said in a deep voice: "He's going on a date tonight, and he's sprayed on a body of perfume, which got on me." After he finished speaking, he patted his shoulder, as if a bit disgusted, "I told him it was too choking, He just won't listen."
He wasn't completely talking nonsense, the perfume was indeed brought by Qin Yuan, but the target to be sprayed was Marshal Ling himself.
Amidst Qin Yuan's swearing promise, Ling Changfeng asked him to spray it twice in doubt.
When I realized that the smell was too strong and I wanted to change my clothes, it was too late. In order not to be late again, I had no choice but to go out with the smell of the bag.
"It's too choking, it doesn't matter, it smells good, but this smell..." Xu Xinghe thought for a while, "It's quite suitable for Major General Qin."
— a bit provocative and a bit slutty.
This perfume smells reminiscent of a gentleman dancing gracefully in a banquet hall, or a charming young man on horseback holding a rein, or even a male peacock shaking its gorgeous tail feathers during courtship...
Xu Xinghe turned his head to look at Ling Changfeng, who was motionless beside him, and really couldn't connect this smell with himself.
"That's right." Xu Xinghe suddenly remembered something, "Adjutant Qin found a girlfriend? Why did he suddenly wear perfume?"
Weren't you still single when we had dinner together the night before yesterday? Why do you have a date today?
Ling Changfeng: "..."
As the saying goes, if you tell a lie, you need to use a hundred lies to cover it up.
He had no choice but to continue to make up: "No, he just asked someone else to go to the movies."
Fortunately, Xu Xinghe didn't intend to delve into it, just nodded, then lowered the seat, lay down in it relaxedly, and asked with a little expectation: "What movie are we going to see?"
Ling Changfeng said: "Not yet."
Xu Xinghe blinked: "Huh? Haven't booked a ticket yet?"
Ling Changfeng nodded: "Well, it's up to you to choose."
The military vehicle drove through the air traffic network for about twenty minutes, and finally landed in front of a special hemispherical building.
It was only then that Xu Xinghe discovered that what Ling Changfeng brought him was not the VIP auditorium of the movie theater he had imagined, but a private movie theater that was not open to the public.
Apart from them, there was not a single guest in the venue, and all the service staff only served two people, which can be described as a complete reservation.
"Are you hungry? Eat something casually first." Ling Changfeng said to Xu Xinghe.
Various snacks and desserts, alcoholic beverages and beautifully carved fruit platters are placed on the mobile dining table in the private cinema hall.
It's like a small buffet table.
Xu Xinghe took a salmon avocado tart and truffle egg sandwich, and asked the waiter to make him a glass of non-alcoholic mojito, then leaned comfortably into the leather seat of the theater, and began to choose movies while eating.
He asked Ling Changfeng: "Do you have any favorite movie types? Science fiction blockbusters, suspense reasoning... or horror movies? Light comedies?"
Ling Changfeng shook his head: "No, I rarely watch movies. You decide."
It is true that Ling Changfeng seldom watches movies, but it is not that he did not do his homework before coming here.
He asked his emotional advisor, Adjutant Qin, "What kind of movie should a couple watch on a first date?" The answer he got was: "You can decide what to watch? Ask Xinghe! What does he want to watch?" It depends on what."
"Then I'll pick the one I like." Xu Xinghe began to swipe back and forth on the screen.
When he slid to the horror film section, his fingertips paused slightly.
Ling Changfeng caught a glimpse of his pause, but misunderstood, and asked, "Aren't you afraid of this?"
"..." Xu Xinghe poked his neck and said, "Who is afraid of this?!"
Ling Changfeng looked at him without speaking.
But that look was clearly asking, who was the person who blew himself up after being drunk the night before, "After watching a horror movie for the first time in middle school, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night"
Xu Xinghe: "..."
He also remembered this episode, hesitated again and again, and still felt that he needed to take the opportunity to avenge his shame.
So he pointed to a recent popular horror movie and said, "The Devil's Labyrinth, that's it! Let's watch it!"
"Are you sure?" Ling Changfeng looked at him sideways and asked noncommittally, "Have you watched horror movies since that time in middle school?"
"I've seen it, of course I've seen it."
What a fart!
Xu Xinghe felt a little thumping in his heart, but he still patted his chest and promised to the pair of different pupils full of scrutiny: "I have read countless movies over the years, and I have figured out the routines of horror movies, but you, don't be fooled for a while." Scared."
When he got to this point, Ling Changfeng no longer refused, nodded and said: "Okay, let's see it."
