I emptied my family's possessions to join the army, and my abstinent superior doted on me.

Chapter 92 Is she your girlfriend?

"Huh? Is that 'Little Flower' from next door?"

"Little Flower" became the nickname the girls gave Hua Cheng in private.

"The little flower has bloomed? I'm not seeing things, am I?"

Tang Jing listened silently to everyone's discussion, her eyes constantly drawn to two people.

Hua Cheng had his back to everyone, so we couldn't see his expression. But just by looking at how he was gesturing with his hands, nervously rubbing his legs, and busy serving food to the girl opposite him, it wasn't hard to imagine how happy he was at that moment.

Tang Jing lowered her eyes and gripped the rice bowl even tighter.

Then look at the girl across from me.

Isn't that the pretty girl who sat in the back seat of Hua Cheng when we left the Hua family that day?

Tang Jing couldn't help but secretly observe the girl.

Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she wore no makeup, yet she was already radiantly beautiful. Although her clothes were simple, just a plain white polyester shirt, it made her look like a pearl in an oyster, pure and flawless.

They must have had a very pleasant conversation; her eyes sparkled with joy.

It makes people want to keep saying things to make her happy and keep her laughing.

It seems that only when I see her beaming with joy can I feel joy myself.

Her beauty was secondary; what mattered most was that she possessed a unique and fatal attraction.

Even she, a woman herself, couldn't help but want to please her and become her friend.

What's going on!
Tang Jing was a little annoyed with herself.

Seeing them together made me feel terrible.

But this woman has a kind of legendary enchantress charm. I should have a hostile feeling towards her, but looking at her like this, I just can't bring myself to hate her.

Tang Jing tried to avoid looking at them, keeping her head down and waiting in line. Unexpectedly, Liu Xiaohan squeezed in and asked directly, "Tang Jing, isn't that your 'Little Flower'? Why are you chatting so happily with another woman?"

"What, our 'Little Flower'? Don't talk nonsense."

Tang Jing is a senior medical student, and Liu Xiaohan is her best friend and roommate.

"No, you're just going to put up with this?"

Liu Xiaohan still remembers that when she was a freshman, it was Hua Cheng who brought Tang Jing to the school to register, and it was also Hua Cheng who brought her to the dormitory.

Worried that it would be inconvenient for her to lay out the bedding on the upper bunk, Hua Cheng simply took over the task himself.

Back then, the girls in the dorm were all secretly observing each other. Without asking, Tang Jing's face clearly showed the nature of their relationship.

Later, due to the taboo surrounding teacher-student relationships, no one publicized or discussed Hua Cheng's true identity after learning about it.

Only Liu Xiaohan would privately confide in Tang Jing about her innermost thoughts as a young woman.

She had known all along that Tang Jing had feelings for Hua Cheng.

Both of them lived in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' family compound.

Previously, Hua Cheng would help Tang Jing bring her luggage to school every Monday before class. On weekends, he would help her carry it home.

Hua Cheng ate at the medical university cafeteria mostly to meet Tang Jing.

Now, suddenly, without any warning, Hua Cheng's opponent has changed players.

Moreover, the two seemed to be having a much better time chatting.

"Xiaojing, why don't you go and ask her what happened?" Liu Xiaohan said, feeling indignant on behalf of her best friend.

That's just Tang Jing's personality; she'll never actively pursue what she likes.

But how can you be so indifferent when it comes to romantic relationships?
After the two finished getting their food, Liu Xiaohan walked straight towards Hua Cheng and Qian Lai.

"Xiaohan, don't go. Don't bother Brother Hua. He must have something to do to come here."

"If you have something to say, why don't you go somewhere else to talk? Why do you have to come to our cafeteria? You know perfectly well that you eat here every day at noon, isn't this just declaring war on you?!"

Hua Cheng and Qian Lai were unaware that Tang Jing and Liu Xiaohan were already at their breaking point.

When the conversation got lively, Hua Cheng finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Did you look at the information in that paper bag I gave you?"

Qian Lai was taken aback. Just as he was about to answer, he saw a girl standing in front of him with a displeased look on her face, rolling her eyes at him.

Then, in a sarcastic tone, he said to Hua Cheng, "It's been a long time, Professor Hua. What brings you to our medical university cafeteria today?"
Didn't you always look for Xiaojing before?
Oh, I made plans with another woman today!

Hua Cheng recognized Liu Xiaohan and sensed the sarcasm in her words. Looking back, she saw Tang Jing standing shyly behind her, her head drooping.

"Brother Hua," she called softly.

Qian Lai understood.

This must be a fan of Hanako; she's jealous when she sees herself.

"You two know each other? Let's sit together."

Before Hua Cheng could speak, Liu Xiaohan plopped down next to Qian Lai. Tang Jing naturally followed suit and sat down next to Hua Cheng.

"Let me introduce you. This is my neighbor's younger sister, Tang Jing. She's a medical student."

This is her friend, Liu Xiaohan.

"Hello, my name is Qian Lai." She maintained her smile.

"The food at the medical university cafeteria is delicious, so I brought her here to try it today."

She'll be working at the research institute from now on. Today, I'm showing her around the area.

what!
She actually works at a research institute.

She doesn't look like she's even twenty years old.

Tang Jing and Liu Xiaohan exchanged glances, both finding it unbelievable.

"You look so young, which university did you graduate from?" Liu Xiaohan asked.

Qian Lai glanced at Tang Jing across from her. Tang Jing was feeding herself grain by grain of rice, not daring to look up.

Unlike my classmate surnamed Liu, who speaks frankly and whose words are always barbed and blunt.

She paused for a moment and then replied, "I didn't go to university. I just read some books because I like studying biology and genes."

That's why I was chosen to work at the research institute, but I'm just an intern assistant.

It turned out to be a menial job.

It goes without saying that someone who hasn't gone to university and was still hired must have connections.

"Does our research institute no longer check academic qualifications for hiring?" Liu Xiaohan wanted to taunt Qian Lai and get back at her best friend.

Her best friend is a top student in a proper undergraduate, master's, and doctoral program at the medical university.

Even if someone who never went to university spent all their time on a university campus, they wouldn't develop the mindset of a top student.

"Want to get into graduate school? What academic qualifications do you need? Building a good personal relationship with us senior graduate students is more powerful than anything else!"

Someone passing by chimed in with a disdainful look.

Qian Lai looked over upon hearing the voice and saw that it was Xiao Fan, Leng Gaoyan's assistant.

When I met their gaze, they clearly rolled their eyes at me, their eyes full of resentment.

Indeed, she was just an intern assistant without a diploma, yet her salary was higher than that of the full-time employees. Anyone in her position would likely feel resentful.

Qian Lai could understand.

Moreover, the system has just issued a 40% progress target reward, so it's not appropriate to be too forceful with a colleague like Xiao Fan who is dissatisfied.

"My academic qualifications are indeed inferior to Assistant Fan's. I hope you will give me more guidance in my work in the future."

However, I didn't get in through personal connections; Assistant Fan certainly knows that better than anyone.

Xiao Fan didn't gain the upper hand verbally, and felt even more resentful.

"Look, look, our new intern is sharp-tongued and quick-witted, who dares to mess with her?"

From now on, we should work more overtime and talk less. Otherwise, we won't have as many connections or as high a salary, and we'll still lose arguments. We'll be a complete failure!

As he spoke, he tapped the rice bowl with his spoon, looking disdainful, and swayed away.

Qian Lai kept his head down and ate, seemingly unaffected by the situation.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly cooled down; everyone lowered their heads to eat, and no one spoke.

Liu Xiaohan, standing to the side, glanced at Tang Jing, then at Hua Cheng, and then at Qian Lai, her anger rising.

"Professor Hua, is Comrade Qian your girlfriend?"
