Dou Zhengrong called Lu Chen at the place he had to pass by on his way to and from work.
Lu Chen was indeed surprised that he would appear here, so he went to the other side with Dou Zhengrong without any hesitation, because Dou Zhengrong must have something important to come to him.
After the two of them stood still, Dou Zhengrong first briefly inquired about Lu Chen's studies in the county before speaking.
Sure enough, Dou Zhengrong's words stunned Lu Chen.
He asked Lu Chen.
"Do you know a male educated youth named Song Yue?"
Lu Chen's eyes changed and he said in a deep voice.
"know."
When he heard the name Song Yue, he couldn't help but think of some previous scenes, including the scene of Song Yue pestering Meng Yinyin.
"Did he do something during the days I was away?"
Although it was a question, Lu Chen's tone was very firm.
Judging from Lu Chen's expression, he should know Song Yue's feelings for Meng Yinyin. Realizing this, Dou Zhengrong felt somewhat relieved, and then told Lu Chen what happened in the vegetable garden that day.
When he heard that Meng Yinyin was almost taken advantage of by Song Yue, Lu Chen's eyes were instantly filled with hostility, and his hands hanging by his sides were clenched tightly, but fortunately Dou Zhengrong happened to be there.
If he wasn't there, he wouldn't even dare to guess what the consequences of that day would be!
After being extremely scared and panicked, Lu Chen suppressed the complicated thoughts in his mind, and then thanked Dou Zhengrong solemnly.
"Brother Dou, I don't know how to thank you for this matter. If you need any help in the future, please let me know at any time."
I will go through fire and water without hesitation.
This is the most important promise Lu Chen can make.
Dou Zhengrong could naturally hear the seriousness in Lu Chen's words. He didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but when he thought that what Lu Chen needed was peace of mind, he nodded.
"It's okay, it's just a small favor, I would help anyone."
It would have been fine if Lu Chen didn't know about this, but now that he knew about it, while he was filled with anger at Song Yue's actions, he couldn't help but feel sorry for Meng Yinyin.
How distressed she must have felt when she faced Song Yue at that time.
But it had been a day since he came back, and she hadn't even told him about this.
Maybe she didn't want to make him worry, or maybe she simply didn't want to tell him.
Lu Chen pursed his lips, with complicated thoughts in his mind.
When going to work, Lu Chen's gaze swept coldly towards the Educated Youth League, and accurately captured Song Yue's figure.
Song Yue, who was waiting for the captain to give today's encouragement, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He suspected that his perception was wrong, but he still turned around carefully and looked around. Then he saw Lu Chen standing not far away, looking at him expressionlessly.
His eyes were as cold as a pond, and Song Yue even sensed a murderous intent!
His heart skipped a beat and he turned around immediately. Although his heartbeat seemed to be unchanged, it seemed his heart was beating faster and faster.
Why was Lu Chen looking at him like that? Could it be that he already knew what he had done to Meng Yinyin some time ago
Song Yue was not stupid and after some thought he quickly confirmed this guess.
Although he had been mentally prepared for such a scenario, his eyes still hardened when he thought that Meng Yinyin actually told Lu Chen about this.
Well, since she is really so shameless, he won't be polite either!
Originally, Song Yue thought that he hadn't accomplished anything after all, and if Meng Yinyin didn't mention this matter again, he would let go of everything with her.
But if she still cares about it and insists on using this matter to deal with him, then he is not a pushover!
For the entire morning, because Lu Chen and Song Yue worked in different places, the two had no chance to meet, let alone talk.
But Lu Chen was holding his breath in his heart, which made him particularly silent when working in the morning. Although he didn't talk much before, people around him felt that Lu Chen seemed to be threshing the grain with extra strength and speed today. Why did they inexplicably give the illusion that the grain was his enemy
But think about it, Lu Chen doesn't seem to have any enemies. He is so strong probably because he is young and has a lot of strength but has no place to use it!
It seems that young guys like Lu Chen are still needed to do the work.
So everyone watched Lu Chen working happily, not knowing that he was really using the opportunity of work to express his anger.
It was not until he returned home at noon that Lu Chen gradually adjusted his mood.
Since Meng Yinyin chose not to tell him, he decided to pretend not to know for the time being, but the price Song Yue should pay would definitely not be small.
After adjusting his mood, Lu Chen returned home. At this moment, Meng Yinyin had already prepared the meal very virtuously. Although the dish was just simple stir-fried vegetables, it was at least edible and not as hard to describe as the braised potatoes yesterday.
Meng Yinyin also thought it through. Her cooking skills were probably just like this. No matter how much she learned, she wouldn't improve much. So she didn't plan to torture herself anymore!
Besides, what was her original intention of cooking? Wasn't it to make Lu Chen feel cared for and make him turn over a new leaf? So the taste is actually not important. What is important is the thought and friendship!
So Meng Yinyin decisively gave up the taste and pursued cooking the rice, and finally finished the rice before Lu Chen got off work.
Even though Lu Chen already knew that Meng Yinyin was planning to cook for him, he still couldn't hide his emotion when he saw the scene in front of him.
Meng Yinyin was wearing a small apron and holding a dish in her hands. She noticed him coming back and looked up at Lu Chen.
"You're back?"
The scene before him was almost exactly the same as his dream home and lover.
At this moment, the anger that Lu Chen had suppressed for the entire morning also dissipated a little.
"Well, I'm back."
While speaking, Lu Chen's eyes involuntarily looked towards the table. He saw three dishes on the table, one stir-fried vegetables, one cold cucumber, one sugar-coated tomato, and then two bowls of porridge. These were very light and simple dishes, and could even be said to have no technical content at all. However, Lu Chen felt that they were even more appealing than the banquets in state-owned restaurants.
Meng Yinyin noticed his gaze. Although she realized that her cooking skills were poor, she still felt a little ashamed.
Especially since Lu Chen kept staring at those three shabby dishes as if he wanted to stare a flower out of it, she was so embarrassed!
"Hey, stop looking at me. Aren't you hungry? Come on, eat. I'm hungry!"
Meng Yinyin's voice suddenly sounded, and it was quite loud, but it successfully brought Lu Chen back to his senses.
As if realizing that Meng Yinyin was a little embarrassed, Lu Chen obediently sat down and started eating.
Meng Yinyin also sat down, but she couldn't help staring at Lu Chen while eating. She would get nervous when she saw him pick up a dish with his chopsticks.
Although she didn't know why she was so nervous, it was obvious that her cooking skills were not as good as Lu Chen's.
But she just wanted to know how he felt after eating it, but she was too embarrassed to ask. After all, it was a great honor for her to cook for him!
Meng Yinyin was complaining in her heart, but her eyes were very honest and revealed her curiosity. She blinked as if asking - Is it delicious? Is it delicious? How does it taste
Lu Chen's reactions were always quick, so he understood it immediately and told her right away.
“It’s delicious.”
It wasn’t enough to finish it, he added in a serious tone.
“It’s the best dish I’ve ever eaten.”
His expression seemed very sincere. Even though Meng Yinyin knew that her dishes would never live up to such an evaluation, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up a little.
"Ahem, since it tastes good, eat more."
Meng Yinyin suppressed the upturned corners of her mouth and spoke to Lu Chen in a calm manner.
"You know, I actually learned to cook just for you."
She said what she had already prepared in her mind while staring at Lu Chen's reaction.
But she found that Lu Chen's expression didn't seem to have changed much. The only change was probably that his eyes softened a little
Meng Yinyin wasn't sure, but when she thought about it, it seemed that Lu Chen was just like that, so it wasn't too strange that he didn't react much.
After thinking about it, Meng Yinyin felt that everything was normal and continued to recite her lines.
"I cook for you, are you happy and happy?"
Lu Chen nodded vigorously, but his eyes were reluctant to leave Meng Yinyin for even a second.
Meng Yinyin gradually became shy when she saw his eyes. She always felt that Lu Chen's eyes seemed to contain a cluster of flames, and her face began to get hot when he looked at her.
"Well, since you feel happy with this kind of life, then, let's live like this from now on. You work hard and I'll wait for you at home. Then you will find that this world is still beautiful and our life is still happy. We should live every day with a positive attitude!"
The last few words sounded more and more like an educational speech.
Lu Chen always felt that something was odd. He even felt that the look in Meng Yinyin's eyes seemed to say "You must listen carefully and don't do anything wrong."
But what mistake could he make
Lu Chen suspected that he was overthinking, and then continued to listen carefully to Meng Yinyin's "education".
In the end, Meng Yinyin had almost finished saying all the words she had prepared, and she stopped only when her saliva was almost dry.
After taking a sip of porridge, she stared at Lu Chen intently and asked with a serious face.
"Did you hear everything I said?"
She had wasted so much effort and energy, and if he didn't repent and continued to become evil, she would really cry to death!
Lu Chen naturally nodded vigorously when he heard this.
He listened carefully to every word Meng Yinyin said just now. Although he still didn't understand the meaning of her words, as long as she said it, he would listen carefully and remember it in his heart.
At this point, Meng Yinyin felt that her mission should have been almost completed, and the dark side of Lu Chen's character should have been partially corrected.
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly saw Lu Chen in front of her moving his lips, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Meng Yinyin frowned, wondering if her little plan had been discovered, and suddenly became a little nervous.
But fortunately, the next second, Lu Chen spoke, and the topic was not what Meng Yinyin was talking about before, but another one, that is.
"Yinyin, has Song Yue caused you any trouble during the days I was away?"
He spoke in a low voice, as if he was worried that Meng Yinyin would be frightened by this disgusting name, but it was clear from his expression that he was very worried.
Meng Yinyin was stunned and asked subconsciously: "How do you know?!"
This self-confessional statement was an indirect admission that Song Yue had caused her trouble.
Lu Chen's eyes darkened instantly, and he suppressed the anger in his heart before continuing to speak.
"I heard it from someone. Don't worry, I will make Song Yue pay the price."
Did he hear it from someone? Who told him? At that time, only a few of them knew about this matter. She didn't say anything. Yu Xiaoyu also told him not to tell Lu Chen about it. It was even more impossible for Song Yue to tell him on his own initiative.
Therefore, the only person who could have told him this could be Dou Zhengrong!
How did they get in touch again!
Meng Yinyin felt a darkness before her eyes. She had just spent so much effort to change a part of the plot, but now Lu Chen was connected with Dou Zhengrong again. Was he going to the Dou family again and meet Lin Xiuzhi in the eyes next
As if to verify Meng Yinyin's guess, Lu Chen continued to speak the next second.
"I may be back late this afternoon. I was in a hurry this morning and didn't have time to thank Brother Dou. I'll go to his house this afternoon to give him some gifts..."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Meng Yinyin interrupted him without even thinking.
"Don't go!"
Lu Chen was stunned, as if he didn't expect Meng Yinyin to refuse.
"I, I mean, I'll go, I'll just go!"
