Chapter 71 Southern Sisters Are Here

The Zhong family was dumbfounded.

It wasn't until fragments of memory flashed through Zhong Qiao's mind that she suddenly remembered that when she went to register for the 721 Workers' University, she did save a girl who fell into the water on the bridge.

Thinking that people's hearts are unpredictable these days, and saving someone might get him into trouble, Zhong Qiao didn't dare to publicize the matter to his father in order to avoid getting into trouble.

Everything has been calm these days, and they avoided talking about the rescue, thinking that it was over.

"Dad." Zhong Qiao tugged at his father's sleeve from behind and reminded him, "Dad, it's the one from last time."

Father Zhong gave her a look, knowing what was going on.

Only Zhong's mother and Zhong Siqi, who were kept in the dark, looked at each other in amazement.

"Zhong Zhiwei, what are you mumbling over there? Can you come over and explain what's going on?" Zhong's mother said angrily.

"Mom, don't be angry."

Zhong Qiao briefly explained the whole story, and Zhong's mother's originally serious expression gradually relaxed.

"I didn't expect your father to be so capable." Mother Zhong was overjoyed. "He really brings honor to our Zhong family."

"Do you remember?"

The young man who took the lead in knocking on the door finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Zhong family members looked relaxed and spoke in a cheerful tone. These people seemed to be completely unaware of the situation, which made him think he had found the wrong door.

"It's like this. President Fang of our university specially asked us to come here to thank you."

"Oh, by the way, my senior sisters went to get the gifts. There are quite a lot of things. They are in the back and will be here soon."

Thinking that the Zhong family seemed to have Alzheimer's disease, the young man emphasized it considerately.

"It's the girl you saved last time. She and her sister came to thank you."

Principal Fang, two sisters.

The more Zhong Qiao listened, the more he felt that this combination seemed familiar. Could God be so mysterious?

"Is it Fang Nan and Fang He?" Zhong Qiao asked tentatively.

"Yeah." The young man's eyes lit up and he smiled so brightly that his mouth stretched to the back of his ears. "They are all my senior sisters."

"How do you know my sisters' names?"

The corner of Zhong Qiao's mouth twitched. It was really fate that played tricks on him.

Mr. Zhong couldn't help but mutter, "How did you know it was me and come to my house?"

The young man sighed, "We couldn't find you at first. We asked around but no one knew you. Then we were chatting at a snack stand and the owner knew you. After asking around and checking the time, we found out where you were. You really gave us a hard time looking for you."

Snack stall?

Zhong Qiao asked, "Is it a place that sells large-flavor noodles? It's under an old tree. There's a couple with a little boy wearing open-crotch pants."

"Yes, yes, yes." The young man nodded vigorously. "It was this family. What a coincidence. We were chatting while eating and this kid heard us. That's when we realized it was you who saved my sister."

Everything is revealed.

Zhong Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. The world is so big and full of wonders. Even though she deliberately avoided contact with Nan Fang, fate always tied them together.

One thing led to another. He just registered with Mr. Zhong, had a bowl of pork chop noodles, and kindly saved someone, and then this group of young men came to him.

"My senior sister's attending doctor said that if you had come a step later, both her legs would have been frozen in the river. It was thanks to your kindness that you saved her. As soon as my senior sister and the others heard that you were found, they immediately came to see you."

A group of young people full of vigor and vitality bowed deeply, which scared the Zhong family.

Mr. Zhong hurriedly supported them.

"No, no, no."

In his life, he had only encountered people toasting him at drinking parties, but he had never met a younger student who respected him like this.

"Junior Brother Qiu, what are you doing?"

A clear female voice came from behind, interrupting everyone's pleasantries.

Zhong Qiao was stunned. He looked through the crowd and saw a pair of beautiful sisters and a man standing not far away.

The two sisters are of similar age, one young and the other red, with very similar facial features, but the elder sister is brighter, with upturned eyes and a foxy charm, while the younger sister is like a lotus by the river, quiet and elegant, with her eyes downcast and silent.

The man behind him was about 1.85 meters tall and of medium build. Although he had handsome features, his eyes were slightly narrowed, forming triangular eyes, revealing a sinister look that was inconsistent with his features. He was carrying a lot of bags in his hands.

"Big Joe, Little Joe?"

When Fang Nan saw Zhong Qiao, he was stunned at first, but then he saw his junior brother beside him and quickly reacted.

"Zhong Qiao, Zhong Zhiwei, both have the surname Zhong. So you're a family?"

She pounced on him eagerly.

"This is such a coincidence, who would believe it if I told anyone? You and I must have been destined to meet in our past lives, otherwise why would my sister be saved by your father?"

Zhong Qiao's thoughts were flooding in his mind. He smiled silently at her, his eyes always fixed on Fang He.

"Who is this?" she asked knowingly.

"Oh, I haven't had time to introduce them to you yet." Fang Nan seemed very excited and pulled her in front of the two of them. "This is my sister Fang He, and the one next to her is her boyfriend, Fan Ming."

"Hello."

There was a glint of surprise in Fan Ming's eyes. He greeted her in a friendly manner, bent down and lowered his head, showing utmost humility, and showing a smile that he thought was very handsome.

Zhong Qiao didn't even bother to look at him, but instead stared at Fang He, then slowly moved his gaze down to her legs.

Healthy legs.

Fang He, who had long been dead in her previous life, should have been disabled in both legs after falling into the water, but now she is standing in front of her in healthy condition, which makes her feel as if she is in another world.

After a long time, Zhong Qiao came back to his senses, smiled, and stretched out his soft hand to her.

"Hello, Fang He."

She spoke gently, as if handling fragile porcelain.

Fang He was a little at a loss. She looked at her boyfriend Fan Ming beside her. A thin layer of pink quickly appeared on her face. Then she carefully moved behind her boyfriend and looked at Zhong Qiao with a pair of clear and ignorant eyes like a deer.

Curious and confused.

"Little Qiao, please don't mind me." Fang Nan opened his arms and inserted himself between the group. "My sister has been suffering from sequelae since she fell into the water last time. She keeps having a strange dream about a water ghost pulling her. Now she's a little scared when she sees strangers."

Fan Ming always looks like a good boyfriend, considerate and gentlemanly. He bent down, put his ear close to Fang He's lips, and acted as intimate as a lover.

"Xiao He, don't be afraid, I'm here." The voice was unspeakably gentle.

Fang He grabbed his sleeve tightly, opened her timid eyes, and when her eyes drooped slightly, she looked so weak and lovable.

"Is that so?" Zhong Qiao nodded in understanding, slowly turned his head to look at Fan Ming, and gave him a meaningful smile.

"Whether it's someone pretending to be a ghost or there really is a water ghost, I'm afraid only certain people know."

Fan Ming's movements froze slightly, and he looked up at Zhong Qiao, but returned to normal in an instant.

"Stop exchanging pleasantries and come here." Junior Brother Qiu snatched the gift from Fan Ming's hand and piled it all in Zhong Siqi's arms.

"Hurry, hurry, take them all, these are carefully selected by my senior sister!"

Zhong Siqi's arms were piled high with gifts, which fell down with a clatter.

He was in a panic, trying to pick up one thing but dropping that one, trying to pick up another but dropping that one.

In the end, his entire face was blocked by the mountain of gifts.

He yelled helplessly: "Mom, help me, the thing is about to fall, help me catch it."

Mother Zhong was chatting with the young men. Upon hearing this, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "You eat so much food every day for nothing, and you can't even take this little thing."

As she spoke, she went to receive the gifts and pushed them into Junior Brother Qiu's arms.

"Don't give us gifts. We are young and don't have much money. We just happened to save someone and no one was hurt. Isn't it enough for everyone to be happy? There is no need for these gifts."

Junior Brother Qiu pushed it back like a hot potato: "Just take it. Uncle Zhong fell into the water and needs a lot of nourishment!"

Several people were arguing with each other until Fang He's eyebrows started twitching and she spoke out when she could no longer bear it.

"Okay."

She took a few steps forward, piled all the things in Zhong Siqi's arms on her own initiative, turned around and took a deep breath.

"Uncle and aunt, please don't be polite with us! My dad specifically told us to deliver the gift. If you don't accept it, we will be punished when we get back!"

Mother Zhong hesitated for a moment.

"Is that so?"

"Then we..."

"Just accept it!" Junior Brother Qiu advised her, seeing her wavering, "These things are our gift!"

Mr. and Mrs. Zhong looked at each other helplessly: "Okay, fine, then we'll accept it. It's too embarrassing."

"It's my duty." Fang He waved her hand carelessly. "Saving my sister's life is a great deed. Giving a few gifts is nothing. Uncle Zhong deserves it."

"How about." An idea flashed through Zhong's mother's mind, "How about you all stay for dinner?"

She smiled sheepishly.

"We don't have anything delicious at home, so we'll just make some simple home-cooked dishes. Please do me a favor and have a meal before you leave."
