10 • Crying Out Loud

Song Lisa lowered her head and wiped her fingers with a towel, very seriously and vigorously, as if there was something dirty on her hands that urgently needed to be wiped off.

Shen Jennie handed the tablet menu to Li Jungkook: "Do you want to add some dishes to see if there is anything else you want to eat?"

He glanced at it, and said nonchalantly, "Let's do this for now. If it's not enough, we can add more."

"All right."

Song Lisa kepther eyelids drooped the whole time, wipingher hands over and over again.

Colleagues at the table, both men and women, were very interested in Li Jungkook. It was hard for a soldier like him not to become the focus.

Xiaochun asked first: "I heard from Shen Jennie that you are a soldier?"

"Um."

"When did you start serving in the army?" Xiao Qiu asked.

Li Jungkook said, "Eighteen."

"How long have you been in the army?" asked a male colleague.

"Almost five years."

Xiao Xia asked: "Are there any other people like you in your team who want to be single..."

"Oh my!" Shen Jennie interrupted with a smile, "What are you all doing? Those who know will say it's an occupational disease, while those who don't will think it's a household registration check."

Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter all booed her: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're so protective."

Li Jungkook didn't answer for a moment. He turnedher head and looked at Shen Jennie in silence,her expression not quite clear.

Shen Jennie just smiled at him.

Song Lisa listened to the noise and laughter at the table, her heart was cold, and the hot towel in her hand had already gone cold. She thought that it was because she was sitting too close to the air conditioner, so she always felt a chill in her heart.

Li Jungkook didn't say anything, and the table was quiet for a few seconds. Then he stood up and said he was going to the bathroom.

After he left, Shen Jennie looked at everyone and said angrily, "Stop being so gossipy!"

Even so, the table became lively again, and Xiao Xia asked, "Hey, how did you two know each other?"

Shen Jennie laughed twice, but still said, "My dad once went to a meeting, a very high-level meeting. He happened to be in charge of explosion-proof inspections. My dad's secretary was a bit arrogant at the time and refused to let him check the box. He also used my dad's official title to pressure him. Anyway, he was a bit arrogant."

"And then?" Everyone was very curious.

"He said, 'The only thing that can suppress me is military law, and you are not qualified.' The secretary was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but he 'accidentally' dislocated the secretary's hand. My dad was very impressed with him and liked him at first sight, so he wanted to introduce him to me. After asking around for a long time, he finally askedher instructor to arrange it for me. Cool, right?"

"How romantic." Xiaochun said, "Your father must be very good if he is interested in you."

"Yes. I heard from their instructor that he had made several contributions. At that time, my father's secretary wanted to report him to the team, but was rejected. He was highly respected."
