Snow Color

Chapter 370 Ode to Joy 14

She and several other colleagues sat together, concentrating on checking the experimental data and whispering to each other from time to time. After careful analysis, everyone began to integrate and study the data in depth. Before they knew it, the sun outside the window gradually set and night fell quietly.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Luo Yining finally returned home, dragging her slightly tired body. She gently pushed open the door, put the things in her hands aside, and whispered: "Grandpa, grandma, I'm back!" Hearing her granddaughter's voice, Luo's mother poked her head out of the kitchen, her face filled with a loving smile, and said with concern: "Baby is finally back, are you hungry? It just so happens that Sister Zhao has cooked your favorite dish for you, and it's still hot now, so wash your hands and eat quickly." Luo Yining smiled and responded: "Okay, grandma, I'm so hungry that my stomach is growling!" As she said that, she quickly walked into the bathroom to wash her hands, and then sat at the dining table to enjoy a delicious dinner.

At the dinner table, the family was having a great time. Luo's mother suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Ningning, I noticed today that it seems that only our family and 2202 live on this floor. And 2202 is shared by three young girls."

"Really?" Luo Yining blinked her big, lively eyes and asked in confusion. Her pretty face was slightly raised out of curiosity, making her look particularly cute.

"Well, so your floor looks okay." Father Luo nodded.

"I go out early and come back late every day, so I probably won't meet you. It doesn't matter." Luo Yining said lightly, with a faint smile on her lips. She was wearing a simple white dress, with long hair falling on her shoulders like a waterfall, and she exuded a youthful and energetic aura.

"It's better to have neighbors who are easy to get along with than those who are not, and at least you won't feel annoyed when you go home." Luo's mother said earnestly, she knew the importance of a neighbor. After all, everyone lives on the same floor and will run into each other every day. It is inevitable that there will be intersections. Luo's mother wore a simple and elegant cheongsam, her temperament was gentle and dignified, and the traces of time left on her face added a bit of mature charm.

"Well, grandma, do you think everything should be fine now?" Luo Yining looked at Luo's mother, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Well, I feel a little relieved now." Luo's mother responded with a smile.

In the following days, Luo Yining still maintained her habit of going out early and returning late. In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone through the window, she had already hurried out; when night fell and the lights came on, she dragged her tired body back home. However, perhaps because of the time difference, she never met the residents of 2202.

Until one day, it seemed that the two houses 2201 and 2203 were bought by someone, and the renovation work started almost at the same time. From that day on, during the day, the corridor was filled with all kinds of noisy renovation sounds, electric drills and knocking sounds. Although these noises were only limited to the daytime, they still caused a lot of trouble for Luo Yining, who needed rest and a quiet environment. In desperation, she had to send her elderly grandparents back to the old house to prevent them from being disturbed too much.

These past few days have been extremely busy for Luo Yining, as the project she is responsible for has reached its final stage.

Every morning, when the sun just rose, she hurried out; and when night fell and the stars twinkled, she dragged her tired body back home. Such a high-intensity work rhythm left her no time to take care of other matters, and she didn't think too much about what was happening in the outside world. However, all the efforts would not be in vain. After a long and intense struggle, on this day, the project that Luo Yining was responsible for finally achieved complete success and smoothly entered the final stage.

At the same time, she also started to apply for relevant patents, but these tedious matters were handled by her partners, which finally gave her a moment to breathe.

However, the renovation work at home has not stopped yet, and there is noise and chaos everywhere. In desperation, Luo Yining decided to go to the military area to live with her parents for a while. It happened that in a few days, it would be an important time for her to report to the Municipal Bureau, and it might be difficult for her to have enough time to accompany her parents after that.

That morning, the sun shone through the gap in the curtains onto the bed, and Luo Yining slowly woke up. "Ningning, you're awake, the food is on the table." A familiar voice came, and it turned out to be Aunt Li busy in the kitchen. Aunt Li has always been by Yiran and Yunzhi's side, taking good care of their daily lives.

After washing up, Luo Yining sat down at the dining table and started to enjoy breakfast. While eating, she noticed that Li Ma was sitting at the side and concentrating on doing something, so she asked curiously: "Grandma Li, what are you doing? You look so serious!" Li Ma raised her head and smiled and replied: "I am embroidering handkerchiefs. I know you like this kind of things, so I thought of making a few more for you to take home." Hearing this, Luo Yining felt a warm current in her heart.

"Grandma Li, your craftsmanship is truly amazing. It's so good that I can't bear to use it. I just want to put it away as a collection!" Luo Yining praised with joy on her face.

After hearing this, Li's mother smiled from ear to ear, her face filled with happiness and satisfaction: "Oh, that's all I can do, but as long as you like it, I'll do more in the future. I'm so happy that you like it!"

"By the way, Grandma Li, I've finished my meal and want to go out for a walk. I'll probably be back in a while." After taking a short rest, Luo Yining got up and prepared to go out for a walk.

"Okay, go ahead, kid." Li's mother responded with a smile. After all, this is a military area, and it is extremely safe, so no accidents will happen. And even though the two children are now grown up, in Li's mother's eyes, they will always be children who need to be cared for and taken care of.

Luo Yining strolled leisurely in the military area, breathing the fresh air and feeling the warmth of the sun on her body. As she walked, she suddenly remembered that she should send a message to Ji Weizhi. In the past few days, she and Ji Weizhi have been getting along very well, and their understanding of each other has become deeper and deeper. It can be said that the two are already quite familiar with each other. Unconsciously, Luo Yining has developed a little affection for Ji Weizhi, but she has not yet expressed it clearly. As smart as she is, she has actually already noticed that Ji Weizhi is also interested in her. Thinking of this, Luo Yining's mouth corners can't help but slightly rise, revealing a shy smile.

"I'm back in Shanghai and I'm now in the military compound." Luo Yining sent a message.

After that, Luo Yining sat on the playground for a while and planned to go back.

At this time, her cell phone rang.

"I'm in a meeting. Where are you? Let's meet. I'll come find you."

The playground in the military compound was empty and quiet. The sun shone on the green grass, creating a faint golden glow. Luo Yining sat quietly on a bench beside the playground, looking into the distance, as if expecting something. The breeze gently brushed her hair, bringing a little coolness, but her heart was filled with warmth and expectation.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Luo Yining remained in that position, motionless. However, her beautiful eyes never left the distance, waiting intently for that person to appear. Finally, a slender figure appeared in the distance. Luo Yining's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she recognized who it was at a glance - it was the Ji Weizhi she had been thinking about!

She stood up quickly, leaning forward slightly, her hands unconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes. Although her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and unable to move, her eyes followed the approaching figure closely, never moving away for a moment.

"Ji Weizhi, I'm back." When Ji Weizhi was only a few steps away from her, Luo Yining couldn't help but speak softly.

Almost at the same time, Ji Weizhi also said: "Ningning, I like you, let's be together." The two people's words intertwined in the air, colliding to create brilliant sparks.

Luo Yining was stunned at first, as if she couldn't believe what she heard. But then, an indescribable joy surged into her heart, instantly filling her entire heart. The corners of her mouth rose involuntarily, blooming into a smile as bright as a spring flower. This smile was like the warm sun in winter, warm and charming.

"Please take care of me from now on." Luo Yining responded shyly.

Ji Weizhi didn't hear Luo Yining's answer at first, and a sense of disappointment flashed through his heart. He was originally full of expectations, hoping to get a positive answer from the other party immediately. However, after this brief disappointment, he clearly heard Luo Yining's gentle words. At that moment, an ecstatic smile appeared on his face, as if all the beauty in the world had gathered on him at this moment.

"Okay." Ji Weizhi responded happily to this simple word that made him feel extremely excited and ecstatic.

At this moment, their eyes intertwined, as if time had stopped here. A gentle breeze blew over their bodies, and the scene was so beautiful that it made people intoxicated.

The two people hugged each other tightly, and at this moment, their hearts were deeply imprinted together, as if they could never be separated again.

"Do you have time today?" Luo Yining asked softly.

"I have time today, so I can accompany you. I will report our relationship after I go back today." Ji Weizhi said with a smile.

"Okay." Luo Yining raised the corners of her mouth, her face filled with a happy smile.

"Are you leaving again after coming back this time?" Ji Weizhi stared into her eyes and asked with concern.

"I'm not leaving, but I won't stay to work in the military hospital. I have decided to go to the Municipal Bureau to be a policeman. After all, my major in college is criminal psychology." Luo Yining answered seriously.

Ji Weizhi was delighted to hear the news. This way, even if he became busy in the future, he could go see her whenever he had time, and the distance between them would not be too far.

"I believe that you will become a very outstanding and qualified police officer!" Ji Weizhi was full of confidence in Luo Yining. He knew that her professional knowledge and strong will were enough to make her qualified for this job.

After the two of them stayed there quietly for a while, Ji Weizhi gently took Luo Yining's hand, smiled and said, "Come, I'll take you for a walk around here." Then they strolled side by side, as if time had become exceptionally slow and beautiful.

At this time, not far from them, several soldiers who had just returned from a mission happened to see this heartwarming scene. One of the sharp-eyed soldiers couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Look! Isn't that our Captain Ji! Why is there such a beautiful girl next to him? Is he looking for a partner?"

Another soldier came over to take a closer look, then agreed, "That's right! With Captain Ji's handsome appearance, it shouldn't be easy for him to find a girlfriend. Unlike us brothers, we are still single."

"That's right. Look at them and then look at ourselves. Alas... we are just a bunch of poor single dogs." The soldier who first discovered it couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

At the same time, Ji Weizhi looked at Luo Yining tenderly and said softly, "Honey, let me take you out for a nice meal. There is a restaurant here that I am familiar with. The food they cook is delicious. I must let you try it."

Luo Yining's face was filled with a happy smile. She nodded obediently and said, "Okay, let's go quickly." Then, she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Grandma Li, informing her that she would not be going home for lunch so as to avoid the old lady having to cook an extra meal.

Soon, Luo Yining lightly got into the car driven by Ji Weizhi. After the car drove steadily for a distance, it slowly stopped at the entrance of a quiet alley.

"This is it!" Luo Yining slowly got out of the car, stepped on the ground with both feet, and cast his eyes towards the deep alley in front of him. He couldn't help but sighed: "It really looks like 'good wine needs no bush'!"

Because the alley was narrow, the car could not move forward, so the two decided to walk into the alley.

Ji Weizhi introduced as he walked: "This is a private restaurant, usually only serving familiar guests. But their dishes are quite good, so even though the location is so hidden, it still attracts many diners."

Luo Yining nodded after hearing this, and responded with understanding: "Well, I have heard that some private restaurants are indeed like this."

"Then let's go in." Luo Yining said

As soon as I stepped into the store, a smiling waiter came up to me and asked politely, "Hello, do you have a reservation?"

Ji Weizhi replied calmly, "Lanyu Box on the second floor."
