Chapter 3: Opening

"Brother Zhai, Brother Zhai?" Qiao Nan called out tentatively.

"Yeah." Zhai Sheng replied calmly.

After making sure that she had not recognized the wrong person, Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were both children from the same compound, Zhai Sheng was "someone else's child" in the entire compound.

He was good at performance. He was not only good at studying, but also had better physical fitness. He joined the army very early. Unlike others, some people gave up their studies to become soldiers, but Zhai Sheng practiced both. He not only participated in various exercises in the barracks, but also obtained a high diploma.

Because Zhai Sheng had both education and experience, he rose quickly through his own ability without relying on his family, until he reached that unattainable position. Even her mother was often proud of the fact that she and Zhai Sheng once lived in the same compound.

"Thank you, Brother Zhai." After realizing that the person in front of him was an important figure, Qiao Nan found that his nosebleed had stopped and his hands had been washed clean, but the clothes on his chest were still red.

The person who stopped Qiao Nan's nosebleed was of course Zhai Sheng.

"It's okay, you just took some medicine, you need to rest and sleep for a while." Zhai Sheng nodded coldly, then took a book full of English writing in his hand and started reading.

After Zhai Sheng said that, Qiao Nan really felt very sleepy. She closed her eyes, fell asleep, and fell asleep in seconds.

Zhai Sheng raised his head from the book and saw that Qiao Nan was really asleep. He took a thin blanket and covered Qiao Nan's belly. Then one of them slept while the other read. The atmosphere between them was quite harmonious.

Qiao Nan slept for the entire afternoon. When she woke up, the medicine had taken effect and she was sweating all over. When she closed her eyes, she clearly felt that her body had relaxed a lot.

"Awake." Hearing Qiao Nan moving, Zhai Sheng raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Nan's face.

"Thank you, thank you, Brother Zhai." Facing Zhai Sheng's intimidating gaze, Qiao Nan felt pressured and could hardly speak clearly.

"Are you afraid of me?" Zhai Sheng asked. As far as he could remember, Uncle Qiao's daughter was not a stutterer.

“No, no,” Qiao Nan said guiltily, wondering how many of the kids in the compound were not afraid of Zhai Sheng’s dark face.

She clearly remembered that Zhai Sheng was about ten years old, with a fair and tender face. In twenty or thirty years' time, he would be a pretty boy.

But after Zhai Sheng joined the army, his face, which was whiter than jade, was tanned to a tan color, and he looked much more frightening than before.

"It's getting late." Zhai Sheng did not expose Qiao Nan's lie.

Qiao Nan's face turned pale, and he clenched his hands into fists and placed them on both sides: "Then, then I'll go home."

Seeing the pitiful expression on Qiao Nan's palm-sized face, just like the cat he saw in the autumn rain during a mission, Zhai Sheng's heart softened: "If you have any trouble, you can come to me."

Qiao Nan looked at Zhai Sheng with some surprise: "Okay, thank you, Brother Zhai."

After that, Qiao Nan felt embarrassed to continue staying at Zhai's house and had to go back to Qiao's house.

Not long after Qiao Nan left, Zhai Sheng's sister Zhai Hua came back. When Zhai Hua was about to sit on the sofa and ask Zhai Sheng why he came back, she saw blood on her sofa and was shocked: "Zhai Sheng, you are injured, how did this happen?"

"No blood." Zhai Sheng frowned. This blood should have been left by the daughter of the Qiao family.

"Wait, that's not right, why is there blood on your clothes too?!" Seeing the blood on Zhai Sheng's chest and then on the sofa, Zhai Hua's eyes flashed: "Zhai Sheng, tell me the truth, did you bring the girl back? Are you so anxious that you can't even wait to go back to the room?!"

The guy who was as dumb as a block of wood finally came to his senses and found a girl to have sex with? !

Seeing Zhai Hua who looked like a monkey, Zhai Sheng sneered: "What would you do if your parents knew you read this kind of book?"

"Oh, it's so hot, I didn't see anything, I don't know anything, brother, I'm going to go back and take a shower." Zhai Hua's face turned pale. She dared to be unruly in front of her brother, but was as obedient as a white rabbit in front of her parents.

Zhai Hua was about to take a shower. Zhai Sheng just relaxed his frown. Before he could continue reading, Zhai Hua's huge face blocked the book. "We are brother and sister after all. Why don't you tell me whose daughter you ruined and whose daughter you made 'bleed and sacrifice'? There are no hooligans in our family."

If the girl comes to make trouble, Zhai Sheng's image will be ruined. What will happen in the army in the future? He has to marry the girl.

Facing Zhai Hua who was making trouble, Zhai Sheng only had one word: "Get lost."

After that, without caring about Zhai Hua's reaction, he returned to his room and changed the clothes that were stained with Qiao Nan's nosebleed to avoid causing any misunderstanding.

Si had no idea about the misunderstanding that happened in the Zhai family after she left, but Qiao Nan walked towards the Qiao family with a worried look on her face.

As the fever subsided, Qiao Nan's mind became much clearer, and she remembered everything that had happened in the past year.

On the surface, Qiao Nan can be considered a third-generation red with a good pedigree.

It's just that Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao didn't survive the special 1970s and died. With the help of Grandpa Qiao's good friends, Dad Qiao joined the army and married Ding Jiayi.

The older generation is somewhat biased towards boys, especially Ding Jiayi. When she gave birth to Qiao Zijin as her first child, Ding Jiayi could still comfort herself that the flowers bloomed before the fruits were produced.

When Ding Jiayi was preparing to have a second child, the country issued a family planning policy.

In order to have a son, Qiao Dongliang and Ding Jiayi were expelled from the party and lost their stable jobs. When they were pregnant with their second child, the result was a daughter, Qiao Nan.

This year, Qiao Nan was promoted from the second year to the third year of junior high school, while Qiao Zijin took the college entrance examination and was about to register for high school.

Qiao Nan started school earlier than others. Despite this, Qiao Nan's grades in school were always very good and she was among the best. On the contrary, Qiao Zijin's grades were not so good.

Although Qiao Zijin managed to get into high school, the school was not very good and Qiao Zijin was very dissatisfied.

In her previous life, Ding Jiayi deceived Qiao Nan. All the family money was spent on her illness, and even the money for Qiao Zijin's enrollment in school was borrowed.

But within a few years, Qiao Nan found out that the several thousand yuan in savings in her family were not spent on her medical treatment, but were spent by her mother to use her connections for Qiao Zijin.

Thinking that her fever had mostly subsided, Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief. At least in this lifetime, her mother wouldn't have to make a fuss about her illness anymore.

In this life, she must not miss school no matter what, and then work to support Qiao Zijin. She wants to have her own life!

When Qiao Nan returned to Qiao's house, Qiao Dongliang was also getting off work and was pushing his bicycle home.
