Situ Qinglang suddenly thought that she had lived alone for so many years, and perhaps she longed for the days when she could have dinner with someone across the street, so she suddenly felt that she was quite distressing.

"I don't speak because of habit. My tutor doesn't allow me to speak at the dinner table, and military discipline doesn't allow it either."

"Oh..." Tianxin smiled sheepishly, "I... don't have much tutoring."

Her words struck a chord in his heart again, making him feel tense.

"I came here because I have nothing to do today and I came out to relax. I drove here." He continued, "Last time you left, I saw you crying on the bus and wanted to ask you why you were crying."

"Is it because of this?" Sweetie blushed. Is this reason worthy of his trip?

"So, why were you crying then?" Situ Qinglang looked at her and asked.

"Because... you suddenly ignored me and didn't say goodbye to me. I feel a bit... wronged." Tianxin answered honestly. Thinking of that scene, she still felt uncomfortable.

Situ Qinglang sighed, thought for a moment and said, "It's not that I'm ignoring you, it's not that you did anything wrong. I know too much and it's not good for you."

"I won't tell others." Sweetheart muttered.

"I am too close to you and have been misunderstood."

"Ah?" Tianxin suddenly couldn't turn around. She asked nervously, "Will that give you a demerit? But I don't think it's okay. You are just training us normally."

"Don't worry about these things." Situ Qinglang didn't want to talk about this thing that annoyed him, so his tone seemed a bit tough.

Tianxin nodded obediently and kept silent. Situ Qinglang felt better when he saw the expression on her face, like a little daughter-in-law, so he added: "It has no effect on me."

"Then, you should leave as soon as you finish eating. What if someone sees you again?" Tianxin was very worried.

Situ Qinglang narrowed his eyes and mocked: "Of course I have to leave, or should I stay the night?"

"I didn't mean that..." Tianxin muttered, "I'm afraid that when you see me, I will be misunderstood again, which will be bad for you."

"I won't see you a few times, don't worry." Situ Qinglang replied smoothly. He really didn't think he could see her often.

Tianxin felt cold and a little sad. Why did he say that... It was as if meeting him was something he didn't like very much.

She stopped talking, and Situ Qinglang remained silent, and the two of them finished their meal in silence.

When the dishes on the plate were empty, Situ Qinglang rolled up his shirt sleeves, stood up and said, "I'll wash the dishes."

"If you have oil, I'll do it. You... go back, or it's too late." Tianxin urged.

Situ Qinglang looked at the time and saw that it was past eight o'clock in the evening. A little girl of hers living here suddenly invited a male guest. It would not be good to let the neighbors know, so she insisted on washing the dishes before leaving.

"I'm going back, you go to school well." He stood at the door holding his coat and said goodbye to her.

"Yeah." Tianxin bit her lower lip and nodded. She was a little reluctant to let him go, and she couldn't bear to feel that there was suddenly an extra person in the family.

Seeing that she was not very energetic, Situ Qinglang thought for a while and added: "I will come see you again if I have time. I know you live alone. If you need any help, call me."

"Yeah!" Sweetheart nodded heavily, her eyes a little red.
