"Is something wrong with my brother? Okay, come in."

There were quite a few villagers coming down the mountain at this time. Jian Dan didn't want to be the center of attention, so she simply walked past him, opened the door, took Hui Zhou's hand, and went into the courtyard first.

"Come in first."

Qin Qinghuai nervously rubbed the sweat from his palms, then followed him inside. He turned to close the door,

"No need to close the door,"

Qin Qinghuai felt a pang of sadness. Was this an attempt to avoid suspicion?

"There are more people behind them,"

Um? ?

Before he could react, he heard a sound at the door.

"Who's here? I can tell from their clothes, is it Brother Chao?"

Xiao Huizhou ran over and hugged Lin Dongfang's leg.

"Dad, there's someone I don't recognize,"

Xiao Huizhou knew all the people who frequently came to Jian Dan's house very well. If he said he didn't know them, then they must come very rarely. Lin Dongfang also looked up, but the more he looked, the more he frowned.

Jian Dan has already opened the door.

"Let's go inside,"

Lin Dongfang picked up his son and tried to follow him inside, but Mingzhu tugged at him hard and kept giving him meaningful glances.

"What's wrong?"

Men are often careless, but Mingzhu is not.

In the short time she had been in the hospital, she could tell that the man's gaze towards Jian Dan was not innocent; it was clearly interested in her, though it was probably just his opinion at the moment.

Didn't you see how big he is? You don't even dare to make eye contact with Jian Dan?

Qin Qinghuai seemed to realize that the occasion was inappropriate, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.

"I...I don't have anything important to say, yes,"

Mingzhu grabbed Lin Dongfang and pulled him outside.

"Dandan, your friends go ahead and do their work. We have to go back. We haven't fed the chicks at home yet. We'll come over to play later if we have time."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Dongfang had already been dragged out of the yard.

The child in her arms was still a little reluctant to leave.

"Auntie!"

"Okay, okay,"

Mingzhu coaxed softly.

"Come play with your aunt after you finish eating, okay?"

Lin Dongfang was still somewhat puzzled.

"What's wrong? A man came to his house, so I have to keep an eye on him, right?"

With Cheng Chao's instructions, and because Lin Dongfang truly treated her like his own sister, Mingzhu reached out and pinched his waist hard, spinning him around.

Are you stupid?

"ah?"

"The man's attire clearly indicates he's also from the military. He must be someone Brother Chao trusts to have found his way here, so you don't need to worry about his safety, right?"

"Yes, he's a man too. She lives alone, so it's not convenient for her."

Mingzhu gritted her teeth,

"Then guess, didn't they know it was inconvenient before they came? Why did they still come?"

Fool!

Didn't you know that my second aunt was looking for a partner for Dandan the other day?

"So, what makes you think you'd come here right under Brother Chao's nose at this time?"

Lin Dongfang stopped and looked back at the small courtyard in utter surprise.

"You mean, this is the guy that Brother Chao and the others found for her?"

Mingzhu shook her head.

"I'm not sure, but this person seems to be interested in Dandan,"

"You noticed that?"

"I was just like you, stupidly walking in."

Didn't you see the look in their eyes?

One boat won't make a difference, but then two adults come along. Even if someone has something to say, can they still talk about it?

"If you really mess things up, Brother Chao will beat you up next time he comes back."

As Mingzhu and her family of three left, Jian Dan felt something was a little strange, but didn't think much of it. They were too familiar with each other, and they would talk about it later if there was anything. But she felt that the person in front of her was even stranger.

"What do you want?"

Did my brother ask you to come?

Did he have something to tell you or send you over?

Qin Qinghuai clenched his fists and took two deep breaths.

"I,"

He took two steps back. Was this guy a little crazy?

Is it really necessary to make such a fuss over something as simple as saying something?

Seeing her wariness, Qin Qinghuai hesitated, and the courage he had just mustered dissipated by half.

Jian Dan wasn't a very patient person. After asking him a couple of questions and not getting a clear answer, she became a little impatient. If it weren't for his clothes and his pretty face, she would have already taken action.

Are you alright?

Or are you here to seek revenge for what happened last time?

"We already explained last time that it was a misunderstanding. You can't go back on your word and come looking for trouble later, can you?"

Her interruption had nearly ruined Qin Qinghuai's plans, and he sighed inwardly.

"No, Lao Cheng didn't know I was here. I... I'm leaving. I have a mission back at the border. I just wanted to come and say goodbye to you."

I won't tell anyone about what happened last time, so you don't need to worry.

Lao Cheng is my brother I grew up with, we're like brothers. If you need anything, you can call me, don't hesitate to call.

I'm totally confused, what does this mean?

She didn't lose her memory. The only thing she had in common with this person was that she beat him up and tied him up, mistaking him for a bad guy. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Or was it Cheng Chao who asked you to do it?

Did my brother tell you that?

Thank you. "

Qin Qinghuai opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He could only turn around and slowly walk towards the gate, anxiously thinking of a topic. Unfortunately, even after he stepped out of the gate, his mind was still blank.

"Well, don't bother seeing me off. I'm leaving now. I'll come see you again when I have the chance."

Looking reluctantly at the puzzled little face in front of him, Qin Qinghuai felt extremely disgusted with himself. He usually handled messy things with ease and could calmly refuse other women. Why was he so afraid to say anything this time?
