Fang Ya sent a message, but He Feng did not reply.
The next morning, before everyone got out of bed, Fang Ya heard a noise coming from the courtyard.
Fang Ya was shocked. She opened the door and walked out, only to find that it was He Feng who had returned.
He Feng made a “shh” gesture to Fang Ya and walked towards He Peng’s room.
Fang Ya’s lips curled up slightly, and she turned around to return to her room.
Early in the morning, He Peng saw He Feng, and his small face was filled with an indescribable joy.
He had been looking at He Feng with a silly smile, and even when he was eating, he did not forget to raise his head to peek at He Feng.
He Feng reached out and patted He Peng’s head. “Eat well, study well!”
“Okay!” He Peng obediently replied.
He Feng nodded in satisfaction. “Listen to your mother and don’t cause trouble!”
As He Feng spoke, he glanced in Fang Ya’s direction.
He Feng addressed her naturally as if this was how it should be.
Fang Ya’s heart warmed. It was as if at that moment, she felt the two of them getting closer.
He Peng followed He Feng’s gaze and looked at Fang Ya, nodding his head heavily.
Shao Xiang looked at them and smiled. She turned to look at Tang Tang beside her.
Tang Tang was eating with all her might. She did not notice what was happening around her.
He Feng had arrived early in the morning, but he left soon after.
“I have to go back to the hospital as soon as possible. I’ll leave He Peng to you.” He Feng held Fang Ya’s hand and said.
“Don’t worry! He Peng is very obedient.”Fang Ya nodded at him.
He Feng took a deep look at Fang Ya before he turned around and left.
Fang Ya went to work at the district committee as usual.
Occasionally, Li Meng would come to ask when the secretary would be back, but when she received a negative answer, she would always return disappointed.
Chen Hong dutifully played the role of a person who accompanied the secretary on business trips.
Fang Ya would occasionally receive some documents and materials.
She never dared to organize those documents and materials on her own. She could only discreetly take them to the hospital for Nie Jun to check after work.
It was a given that bringing such materials out of the office was inherently risky.
However, the office was no less safe!
Fang Ya did not bring the documents that Nie Jun thought would be signed back to the office directly. Instead, she secretly put them in her bag.
Sure enough, when she went to work the next day, her office showed signs of being slightly disturbed.
Fang Ya feigned ignorance and did not deliberately spread the news.
For three consecutive days, Li Meng came to Fang Ya on time every day and asked when Secretary Nie would be back.
Fang Ya was not sure if Li Meng was the insider or just an errand boy.
“Sister Fang Ya, when will Secretary Nie be back?” Li Meng sat across from Fang Ya’s desk and said with a depressed face.
“This secretary is going out for a meeting. How can I be sure of the time?” Fang Ya said as she busied herself with the matters at hand.
Li Meng sighed. “Our section chief is scolding me to death.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it.” Fang Ya did not raise her head and comforted her perfunctorily.
Li Meng thought about it for a moment before saying, “Why don’t I take the materials back first? I’ll come back when Secretary Nie comes back.”
Fang Ya raised her head and glanced at Li Meng before saying, “Alright.”
She did not say anything else. Instead, she directly returned the items that Li Meng had brought back to her from the drawer.
After Li Meng received the ingredients, she stood up and said, “Then I’ll go back first to report my mission!”
Fang Ya nodded and watched Li Meng leave.
When they were having lunch in the cafeteria, Li Meng was holding a tray and looking for a seat.
When she saw Fang Ya, she walked up to her and said, “Sister Fang Ya, let’s eat together!”
Fang Ya nodded and went to get her lunch.
After Li Meng had chosen a table, she waved at Fang Ya when she saw that she had completed her selections.
Fang Ya paused for a moment and walked over with the tray in her hand.
