Snow Color

Chapter 376 Ode to Joy 20

Night had already fallen, and Luo Yining dragged her tired body slowly into the house. At this time, it was pitch black all around, with only a faint light coming from inside the house. Luo Yining was too lazy to cook, so she decided to go out to buy groceries and pack them up to take home to enjoy.

After finishing her meal in a hurry, she simply washed up and immediately started to sort out the materials again. However, even though she was so busy, she still did not forget to send a message to Ji Weizhi.

At this moment, a crisp cell phone ringtone broke the silence. Luo Yining picked up the phone and saw that it was a message from her grandmother. Her grandmother asked her with concern whether she was doing well in the past few days living alone and whether she had encountered any inconvenience. She also said that the old couple was going to come over tomorrow afternoon to give her some things.

Luo Yining felt warm in her heart, but then she thought that the two old people were too tired from traveling, and it was not convenient for her to receive them, so she decisively rejected her grandmother's kindness. She replied: "Grandma, I'm fine here! You and grandpa don't have to make a special trip. I will find a time to come back to the old house to visit you tomorrow night or in a few days." After Luo Yining's persuasion, the grandparents finally agreed reluctantly, but they still kept telling her to take good care of herself.

Luo Yining responded repeatedly, repeatedly assuring that she would take good care of herself and asked grandpa and grandma to rest assured. After hanging up the phone, she looked at the time and it was late at night. Luo Yining carefully checked the surroundings and confirmed that she had not missed anything. Then she climbed into bed, pulled the quilt over her, closed her eyes, and prepared to fall into a sweet dream, ending this fulfilling and busy day.

The next morning, the sun had just risen, and the soft sunlight was shining on the earth. Luo Yining got up early, put on her sports equipment, and started her morning run in the fresh air. She ran along the familiar streets with light and powerful steps, and the sweat gradually soaked her forehead and back, but she felt extremely happy and comfortable.

After finishing her run, Luo Yining took a short break and then hurried to work. In recent days, she has been busy with work and has hardly taken a break. Due to her busy work schedule, she simply chose to live in the dormitory of the Municipal Bureau, which can save commuting time and allow her to devote herself to solving cases.

After several days of hard work, this difficult case finally achieved some results and could be temporarily closed. Luo Yining's tense heartstrings relaxed a little and she decided to go back to the old house to visit her family.

She first returned to her residence in the Ode to Joy community and tidied herself up. Looking at herself in the mirror, although she looked a little tired, her eyes were still bright and determined. Then, she packed her luggage and went out to go home.

Although she was busy with work these days, she still took the time to follow the communication information of the sisters in the group. Seeing everyone sharing their daily life, interesting stories and greetings to each other, she felt warm in her heart. However, because she was too busy, she could only reply once in a while when she was free to say that everything was fine.

When Luo Yining stepped into the door of the old house, she felt a sense of familiarity. Before she could call out, Qin's mother in the house had heard the noise and came out to greet her.

"Ningning, you're back!" Mother Qin's face was full of smiles, her eyes full of joy. She walked quickly to Luo Yining's side and looked at her granddaughter carefully.

"Have you not taken good care of yourself these days? You look much more haggard." Mother Qin said earnestly, gently stroking Luo Yining's cheek, her eyes full of heartache.

"I'm fine, grandma, you must have seen it wrong." Luo Yining smiled and took her grandmother's arm, shaking it like a coquettish child, trying to reassure her grandmother.

"Ningning, how does it feel to work in the Municipal Bureau?" Father Luo looked at his granddaughter's return with a smile on his face, but as a man, his emotions were always more restrained, so he could only express his concern for his granddaughter in this way.

Luo Yining walked quickly to Luo's father, took his arm affectionately and said, "Grandpa, don't worry! I have now fully adapted to the working environment of the Municipal Bureau. My colleagues are all very friendly, and I get along very well with everyone. Our team leader also takes good care of me and often gives me some more important tasks to complete. It can be seen that he quite recognizes my ability and everyone trusts me."

Hearing his granddaughter say this, Luo's father's heart finally settled down. He gently patted Luo Yining's hand, nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good. Seeing that you can integrate into the new work environment so quickly and gain the trust of your leaders and colleagues, grandpa is much more relieved."

That night, in order to welcome Luo Yining home, grandparents carefully prepared a sumptuous dinner. The table was filled with a variety of Luo Yining's favorite dishes, including fragrant braised spareribs, juicy steamed fish, and tempting braised prawns. The family sat around the table, enjoying this warm and beautiful moment.

This weekend was a relaxing and enjoyable one for Luo Yining. She stayed in the old house comfortably for the whole day, enjoying the company of her grandparents. However, happy times are always short-lived, and Sunday afternoon came in a blink of an eye. Although she was a little reluctant, Luo Yining decided to go to the military compound to visit her parents.

When she arrived at the military compound, she found that her parents were not at home. It turned out that her father Yiran and mother Yunzhi were out for something. So Luo Yining took out her mobile phone and called her boyfriend Ji Weizhi, telling him that she was waiting for him on the playground where they had dated. After hanging up the phone, Luo Yining stood quietly on the playground, recalling the sweet memories with Ji Weizhi, and a happy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth...

Ji Weizhi knew that Luo Yining had been so busy in recent days that they only had a few simple exchanges every day. Despite this, he did not say a word.

At this moment, a rapid cell phone ring suddenly rang, and Ji Weizhi looked closely and saw that the caller ID was Luo Yining! He jumped up from his seat as if he had been electrocuted, grabbed the coat on the back of the chair, and rushed out without hesitation.

Ji Weizhi hurried to the agreed place by jogging. On the way, he unexpectedly met Hua Diao and others. Hua Diao was sharp-eyed and saw Ji Weizhi in a hurry. He hurriedly called out: "Wolf Head, what are you going to do in such a hurry?" However, what surprised everyone was that Ji Weizhi, who was very enthusiastic about his brothers in the past, seemed to have not heard anything at this time. He did not slow down his pace at all and continued to gallop forward.

Looking at Ji Weizhi's receding back, Hua Diao and the others looked at each other, and were all stunned for a moment. They simply couldn't believe their eyes. This Wolf Leader, who was always steady and calm, and treated his brothers as close as brothers, turned a deaf ear to their shouts today, and didn't even stop for a moment.

"Hey, Hua Diao, guess what Lang Tou is in such a hurry for? We greeted him, but he ignored us and ran away in such a hurry." The eagle on the side was full of suspicion. He scratched his head and cast a questioning look at Hua Diao.

Hua Diao was also completely confused. He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "How would I know? But... in my opinion, maybe something urgent has happened. How about we go and take a look?" As he said that, Hua Diao winked at the others.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then the group quietly followed Ji Weizhi, wanting to find out what was going on.

In their hearts, they had already made plans. Judging from all the signs, they must be going to meet their girlfriends. Except for Li Lin, none of the others had met Luo Yining. Because they were all in a coma at the time, they naturally knew nothing about Luo Yining's appearance.

Because of this, everyone was full of curiosity. If Li Lin was here at this moment, he would probably be unable to resist the urge to go along.

Luo Yining sat quietly on the green lawn, the gentle breeze brushed across her face, bringing a hint of coolness. As if they were in sync, Luo Yining suddenly looked to the side, and in an instant, a brilliant smile bloomed on her face.

Luo Yining stood up lightly, standing there gracefully, like a beautiful painting. Time passed by, and finally, a vigorous figure came running from far away. When their eyes met, there was a gleam of joy in each other's eyes. Then, they hugged each other tightly, as if they were the only ones in the world.

After a long while, the two reluctantly let go of each other and sat side by side on the soft grass. Luo Yining gently leaned her head on Ji Weizhi's broad shoulders, enjoying this peaceful and beautiful moment.

At this moment, Ji Weizhi keenly noticed that there were several people not far away, hiding and sneaking around. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and said softly, "Come out." After that, he turned his head and smiled at Luo Yining, and then they both stood up.

"Captain!" Not far from here, several people were hiding quietly. Yes, they were Hua Diao and his group. When they heard what Captain Lang Tou said, they knew that they had been discovered by the captain, so they stopped hiding and came out from their hiding places.

"Hello, sister-in-law!" As soon as these people stood still, they shouted to Luo Yining in unison. The voices were neat and loud, echoing in this empty area.

Luo Yining's originally fair cheeks instantly flushed, and she looked particularly shy and charming. After all, so many people witnessed her hugging Ji Weizhi tightly, and they also called her sister-in-law. This scene made her feel very embarrassed.

However, Luo Yining quickly adjusted her mood, smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Luo Yining. Nice to meet you all." Her voice was clear and pleasant, as beautiful as a yellow oriole singing in a valley.

At this time, Hua Diao came forward with a warm smile on his face and said to Luo Yining: "Sister-in-law, actually we have heard of you a long time ago! Remember what happened in the Southeast Military Region Hospital before? It was all thanks to you who came to our rescue at that time, otherwise many of our brothers might not have survived that ordeal. Now you have not only saved our lives, but you have also become our captain's girlfriend. This is simply amazing!" As he spoke, Hua Diao also raised his thumb to express his admiration and appreciation for Luo Yining.

"Tell me what's going on and why you suddenly come here!" Ji Weizhi frowned slightly, looked at the people in front of him with slightly dissatisfied eyes, and asked slowly.

The Eagle standing in the front chuckled, scratched his head and explained: "Captain, this is not our fault! When we greeted you just now, you didn't even raise your eyes, and you completely ignored us! That's why we are curious about what you are doing here alone."

At this time, Hua Diao on the side came over and added with a smile: "And, captain, you have such a beautiful girl next to you, but you don't even introduce her to us so that we can get to know her!" After saying that, he blinked mischievously.

Seeing this, the others all nodded in agreement, and kept repeating, "That's right, that's right!"

Hearing their chatter, Ji Weizhi's face turned slightly red, but he quickly regained his seriousness. He raised his voice and shouted, "Alright! Stop talking nonsense. Now everyone, turn around and run!"

When Mengying heard this, he immediately said with a smile: "Okay, okay, Captain, we know we are wrong! This time it is indeed us who disturbed you and your sister-in-law's world of two, so we will go back obediently and not bother you anymore!" Then he smiled and said to Luo Yining, who was called "sister-in-law" next to him: "Goodbye, sister-in-law!"

The other people also hurriedly shouted in unison: "Goodbye, sister-in-law!" Then they waved goodbye to Ji Weizhi, turned around and left in neat steps.

"Your comrades are very interesting." Luo Yining raised the corner of her mouth slightly, looked at Ji Weizhi, and said with a smile.

"They are like a group of naughty monkeys, making a lot of noise. I have to find some free time to get together with them next time." Ji Weizhi was reluctant to let this rare date go to waste, so it was obviously impossible this time. He decided to wait for a suitable opportunity in the future.

"Sure, it's still early, why don't we go for a walk." Luo Yining said softly.

"Okay, let's set off now." Ji Weizhi responded happily.

Luo Yining and Ji Weizhi walked leisurely here hand in hand. They both felt that in such a quiet atmosphere, it was as if they were the only ones left in the whole world. It was so warm and perfect.
