Chapter 888 The Innocence That Is Hard to Come By
Brother Zhai had already graduated for a long time. Most importantly, he also had his own career.
“Is that so? You won’t regret getting engaged to me.” Zhai Sheng laughed in a low and deep voice. “Nan Nan, I’m afraid that our child will graduate even earlier than me and be more successful.”
Child.
At the sound of this word, Qiao Nan blushed. Her heart was filled with hope and expectation. “I have just started studying in college. Where will the child come from? I’m not talking to you anymore. It’s late. Goodbye, Brother Zhai.”
Child-one that resembled Brother Zhai or her.
The forty-year-old Qiao Nan in the previous life did not even have a man, let alone a child. Her longing for children was more than anything else. It even exceeded her longing for marriage and a man that loved and doted on her.
At the sound of the beeping tone, Zhai Sheng did not feel angry. On the contrary, he smiled. Nan Nan hung up so anxiously. Clearly, she was feeling shy as she also wanted to have children with him.
Having a child with both of their bloodlines was a very wonderful matter. However, as he thought about the process of having a child, as an ‘old man’, Zhai Sheng’s body could not help but react strangely.
Zhai Sheng took a deep breath as he subdued his extremely restless body. Wasn’t there a saying that the ‘process’ was more important than the outcome? This saying was very right!
After the phone call, Qiao Nan returned to the dormitory and found that she was alone.
Qiao Nan did not use the phone in the dormitory to make the call because she was afraid that the conversation between her and Zhai Sheng would be heard by others. However, she was surprised that Tang Jiayun possessed such an extraordinary capability. She was actually able to ‘kidnap’ both Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan again despite having gone through two negative experiences.
Qiao Nan could not help ‘cheering’ for Tang Jiayun. “Woo!”
At the thought that she should be able to move out tomorrow, she was not willing to bother much about Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan’s matters. It was also possible that Yu Xiaoxiao and Lü Yan followed Tang Jiayun for their own reasons.
Everyone was admitted to Peking University through their own merits. There was certainly no issue with their intelligence. If it were due to other issues, then, they were not something that Qiao Nan had to be concerned about.
At the thought that she would move out tomorrow, she might as well pack her luggage.
When Shi Qing arrived, naturally, she saw the luggage that Qiao Nan had packed. “Brother Zhai told me that you’re prepared to move out tomorrow. I thought he was joking with me. Not easy. How did you sort out your thoughts?”
“I am just enlightened suddenly.” Qiao Nan rolled her eyes. She did not tell Shi Qing about Tang Jiayun’s situation, lest Shi Qing flared up and fought directly with Tang Jiayun. It was not necessary. She was moving out soon.
“Brother Zhai is too resourceful. Why is it that you will listen to him once he persuades you? Qiao Nan, tell me honestly. Do you favor your boyfriend over your friend? You only listen to Brother Zhai.” It was not as if she had not stayed in a school before. Shi Qing did not feel very positive about it. College life was obviously more carefree, so why should they live in the school?
On the pretext that one could afford it, why was there a need to insist on living uncomfortably when you could have a better life?
Shi Qing had the confidence to say this but she knew that Qiao Nan did not. At the very least, Qiao Nan herself did not have the financial means. As such, she had been prepared to accompany Qiao Nan and suffer by staying in school.
“If I really favor my boyfriend over my friend, I would have moved out long ago. Do I still need to wait until tomorrow? I’m worried. If we tell the school tomorrow that we’re no longer staying here, will the school agree to it? Will it be very troublesome to settle the paperwork?” Qiao Nan was also someone who was afraid of cumbersome matters at times.
Shi Qing patted her own chest. “Don’t worry about it. I’ll settle this.”
“Is it going to be you or the Feng family settling this?” Qiao Nan was not tricked by Shi Qing. At the thought that the Feng family did not have any positive feelings toward her, Qiao Nan could feel a headache coming.
She did not wish to trouble others but in the end, she did. Clearly, she knew that others disliked her but she had to annoy them with such things.
Shi Qing leaned on Qiao Nan’s shoulders. “Don’t mind it. Yesterday, I received grandpa’s call. He asked me to go home for a meal.”
“Okay.”
“My grandpa said to ask you along.”
Qiao Nan pursed her lips. “When your grandpa finds out that I still need the Feng family’s help, he won’t treat me to a meal anymore. It will become a meal cum treacherous plot.” This time, the Feng family would certainly look down on her. “Why don’t we do this? You can seek the Feng family’s help, whereas I will look for my master to help with mine.” Brother Zhai was right. It was not that easy to be a master.
In reality, Qiao Nan felt that she would rather inconvenience herself than others.
She felt more at ease to seek her master’s help.
“Aiyo, my Sister Qiao Nan, it is just a small matter. Release one or two sheep, it won’t make a difference. My grandpa’s family won’t take issue with this.”
“Have you already told the Feng family?” Qiao Nan’s face turned black for a moment.
Shi Qing laughed guilty. “I’ve mentioned it to them. Brother Zhai told me that it is almost time that you will move out. I then told my grandpa and sought his help. As for the rest, you don’t need to worry. My grandpa is aware that you are the disciple of Elder Lin.” The Feng family would not make a mountain out of a molehill regarding this matter. They knew the relationship between Elder Lin and Peking University. This matter was not much of an issue.
Of course, to the Feng family, this kind of matter would be resolved by just one phone call.
“When I listen to you, why do I feel that you seem to be in cahoots with Brother Zhai? Brother Zhai is so capable!” Brother Zhai had a way to ‘subdue’ the lady. Shi Qing had once liked Brother Zhai before. To put it nicely, Shi Qing was helping Brother Zhai this time. To put it bluntly, she was like his henchman.
Shi Qing was not shy about it. “Well, I’m Brother Zhai’s godsister now. You will be my sister-in-law in the future.” She had some feelings for Brother Zhai but it was not considered love at all. At most, it was the persistence that arose out of her beautiful imagination for love during her puberty time
So what if they could not be lovers? Being relatives was also quite good.
Qiao Nan smiled helplessly. “Most likely, the good fortune that Brother Zhai and I have in meeting people is shown through you.” Shi Qing had such a pure and good heart and was a little too naive. It was hard to come by.
Qiao Nan had met a number of people. The ‘top-notch’ dormitory mate, Tang Jiayun, was one of the classic examples.
As for her dormitory mates in senior high school, although they got along very well and were rather close, Qiao Nan knew in her heart that Tang Mengran and the few of them were good to her because she was good in her studies. She could lead and spur them on.
There was also one more thing. She would always help them spot questions and revise their homework.
During the college entrance examination this time, the six of them went to different schools. Nevertheless, all the colleges that they got into were first-tier key universities. None of them was lousy.
Due to this reason, the dormitory the six of them had stayed in previously had already become a precious land of geomancy at Ping Cheng High School.
