Chapter 3

The next morning, after Lin Tingwan and her family of three finished their meal, they went straight to the department store to pick out a new set of clothes for her.

But after taking a look around, Lin Tingwan really didn’t find anything she liked.

The common colors of clothes in this era are black, gray, and blue. The styles are not very novel and there is no decoration at all when they are worn on the body.

After looking around, Lin Tingwan smiled and said, “Mom and Dad, why don’t we go back? I think the dress I’m wearing is pretty good.”

“But…” Lin’s mother was about to say something when she was suddenly bumped into by someone. When she turned around, she saw a figure jogging away.

Lin Tingwan looked at the man covering his arm as he left, her eyes widened with shock. She held her mother’s arm and asked, “Mom, where’s your wallet?!”

“It’s right here…” Lin’s mother said as she reached into her pocket, but it was empty. Then she realized that the man who bumped into her was the thief.

Seeing her mother’s pupils shrink slightly, Lin Tingwan knew what was going on.

He immediately stretched his neck to look around and saw the thief running towards the door.

She quickly lifted up her skirt, pointed in the direction of the door and shouted, “There’s a thief out front, everyone help me catch the thief!”

This shout not only scared the passers-by, but also scared Lin’s father and mother.

Is this heroic girl still their gentle and considerate daughter? !

But Lin Tingwan couldn’t care less at this moment. Everything had gone wrong for her since she came here, and now she was being bullied by a thief? !

What’s the difference between stealing her money and taking her life in this day and age?

It would be strange if she could remain calm at this moment!

The thief looked back at her running towards him with her eyes wide open and angry, and he couldn’t help swallowing his saliva. Without thinking too much, he ran away.

Seeing that the thief was about to run out of the department store, Lin Tingwan felt a chill in her heart. If he ran out, it would be difficult to catch him again.

But when the thief walked to the door, he turned around and looked at Lin Tingwan triumphantly.

This glance made Lin Tingwan even more furious.

Provocation! A blatant provocation!

Lin Tingwan stopped immediately and was about to pick up the enamel pot on the counter and throw it over when she heard a miserable roar.

Looking over, I saw a man in military uniform subduing the thief with a clean and neat move.

She quickly put down the enamel pot and trotted over, holding up her skirt.

When she got closer, she saw the officer took a wallet out of the thief’s arms, then patted the thief’s face and scolded him in a cold voice: “I’ve caught you more than once! Is it because the police station didn’t reflect enough? Do you want to go to my place?!”

“I was wrong, I won’t do it again. I’ll return the wallet to her.” The thief was so scared when he heard the officer’s words that he broke out in a sweat and his face turned pale. He looked even more terrified than when he entered the police station. Seeing Lin Tingwan coming over, he quickly apologized.

Following the thief’s line of sight, Lu Yunzheng turned around with his wallet in hand and looked over.

A bright and charming little face came into view, with skin as white as snow, small and delicate features, especially her big and bright eyes, as dazzling as stars. She slightly curled her lips, and the shallow dimples on her cheeks made her red lips and white teeth look even more prominent.

The voice beside his ears gradually faded away, and only that charming smile continued to shine and grow in his eyes.

It was not until he heard the noises around him that Lu Yunzheng realized that he had been a little rude. He immediately handed over the wallet and asked stiffly, “Is this your wallet?”

Lin Tingwan nodded, curled her lips and smiled, “It’s mine.”

It was only after such a close observation that she discovered that this officer was not only tall and long-legged with a well-proportioned body, but also very handsome and impressive in appearance.

Especially those peach blossom eyes, bright and lively, with clear black pupils. When looking at people, it seems that they are not attracted to them, but they can easily suck people into that deep vortex and make them unable to extricate themselves.

If her blind date looked like this, it would be worth it for her to be a stepmother.

“Wanwan…”

Hearing her mother’s call, Lin Tingwan came back to her senses and thought that she might have overthought. Then she smiled politely and thanked him: “Thanks to your help today, comrade, I will definitely give you a banner next time we meet!”

After saying this, Lin Tingwan turned around and went to look for her parents.

But the soldier just now was indeed very handsome, and you wouldn’t meet him casually even on the streets in later generations.

In this age without the Internet, if she suddenly met a handsome guy, even if he was not hers, he was still very pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, all Lu Yunzheng had in his mind was that smiling face. The man’s throat moved slightly, and he looked at the back with a dark and unclear look in his eyes, unable to look away for a long time.

“What are you looking at? Don’t forget what you promised the old captain!” Wen Chuan came over and patted the man on the shoulder. He followed his line of sight but didn’t find anything interesting.

“Hmm!” Lu Yunzheng withdrew his gaze and responded in a dull voice.

“Captain Lu, Professor Lin and our old captain are old acquaintances. I heard that Professor Lin’s daughter is pretty, too. Since you agreed to come for a blind date, you should take a good look at her. After all, you are not young anymore, and you can’t let the old captain and his men urge you to get married every day.”

Wen Chuan was already accustomed to his friend’s silent nature, but today’s circumstances were special, so he couldn’t help but nag a few more words.

He also felt sorry for Lu Yunzheng. As the youngest regiment commander in their military region, Lu Yunzheng had both military merits and good looks. If it weren’t for the three children left by his sister, he wouldn’t be still unmarried at the age of 28.

“So the old captain sent you here because he was afraid that I would run away halfway?” Lu Yunzheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and his dark eyes glanced at Wen Chuan lightly, feeling a little helpless.

“Hehe~” Wen Chuan smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said awkwardly: “I just want to help you with some advice. After all, your marriage is very important.”

“Okay, stop talking and lead the way.” Lu Yunzheng patted his shoulder and smiled slightly.

Before, he really wanted to get to know Professor Lin’s daughter, so he wanted to come to the department store to buy some things as a gift, but now, he feels it is unnecessary.

……..

Lin Tingwan took the wallet and walked to her parents, smiling and saying, “Thank goodness we met a kind person, otherwise the thief would never have been caught.”

“Wanwan, are you okay?” Lin’s mother held her hand, looked her up and down, her eyes full of worry.

Seeing this, Lin Tingwan quickly shook her head. She was still a little uncomfortable with this subconscious concern.

Seeing that the two men were looking at her nakedly, she quickly changed the subject and said, “It’s getting late, let’s go to the state-owned restaurant, otherwise we will be late.” After saying that, she pulled the two of them outside.
