Chapter 23 Chapter 23 "Does it look like a ring?"...

twenty three.

All the tents on the open space were set up, like mushrooms of different colors.

Jiang Nian and Jiang Hao stayed in the same tent, while Lu Zhao stayed with Chen Rong. Luckily for them, as soon as they returned to their respective tents, large raindrops began to fall.

It was raining outside, but the tent was safe. Shen Rong packed up his things by the light of the flashlight, and turned around to see Lu Zhao lying on the moisture-proof mat, still looking at the bandage on his hand.

He has been in this position since Lu Zhao returned to the tent. He has been watching for so long, but he doesn't know what's so good about it.

Perhaps because Chen Rong's gaze lingered for a little too long, Lu Zhao glanced at him and said, "Jiang Nian put it there."

As he spoke, he extended his hand in front of Chen Rong as if to show it, wanting him to see it more clearly.

Chen Rong had already suspected this, so he wasn't surprised to find it confirmed. He groaned and said, "Even if it was posted by Jiang Nian, you wouldn't have to look at it for so long, right?"

Can you still see the flowers?

Lu Zhao raised the corner of his mouth, put his hand in front of it to examine it carefully, and touched it lovingly. He smiled and said, "Look at it in this position..."

Chen Rong looked over, his eyes a little confused. What's wrong with the location? It's just the injury on the finger.

Lu Zhao continued, "Does it look like a ring?"

The corner of Chen Rong's mouth twitched, thinking that the earthquake might have damaged Lu Zhao's brain.

Lu Zhao met Chen Rong's speechless eyes, clicked his tongue lightly, and said, "You are a workaholic, you will not understand how I feel at this moment."

Chen Rong gritted his teeth. He was still single, yet someone was mocking him.

Brother, you are just secretly in love with me, and we haven’t even started dating yet.

However, seeing that Lu Zhao cared so much about Jiang Nian, Shen Rong felt relieved. It was still early, and he was not sleepy. He sat cross-legged next to Lu Zhao and asked, "Did you make any progress with Jiang Nian today?"

He quickly added, "Except for the ring he put on you...bah, it's just a band-aid." He felt that his brain had also been influenced by Lu Zhao and was talking nonsense.

Lu Zhao was still looking at the band-aid on his hand. He glanced at Shen Rong and agreed, "You're right. I'll order two rings when I get back."

In the few short hours since he came back, he had imagined countless times the scene of Jiang Nian putting the wedding ring on him at the wedding. Just imagining it made him feel very happy.

Chen Rong: “…I didn’t say that!”

Lu Zhao was still immersed in his own world. Chen Rong lay down and thought, forget it. He was too lazy to talk to a crazy person, so he simply closed his eyes and rested.

Lu Zhao didn't think he was talking nonsense. When he was in the tent, he couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment, so he was discovered by Jiang Nian.

Lu Zhao saw Jiang Nian's nervous and helpless reaction, and he was surprised to find that deep down in Jiang Nian's heart, she did have feelings for him, but Jiang Nian just couldn't see it clearly at the moment.

Lu Zhao couldn't help but feel his heart fluttering. He was so happy that he couldn't help but want to hug the person in his arms and express his love, but he also knew that now was not the time.

Lu Zhao always likes to play it safe and hit the target with one strike, especially when it comes to Jiang Nian.

He hoped that Jiang Nian would clearly realize that she was in love with him and take the initiative to approach him, rather than exposing his feelings and forcing Jiang Nian to make a decision in such an environment when Jiang Nian was still confused about love.

The answer Jiang Nian gave him at this time was most likely not what he wanted.

In order to divert his attention and prevent himself from doing anything impulsive that would scare people away, Lu Zhao looked outside the tent and happened to see Jiang Hao coming back, which gave him a reason to leave.

Jiang Nian stopped him as he was about to leave, and his eyes were full of trust and gratitude, no longer nervous or helpless. This little fool was really fooled by his subsequent performance.

Seeing Jiang Nian's innocent expression, as he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, was so adorable that Lu Zhao wanted to pinch his face. He restrained himself with great difficulty, agreed to Jiang Nian's words, said hello to Jiang Hao who had returned to the tent, and left.

On the other side, Jiang Nian was lying in the tent with his back to Jiang Hao. He looked like he was asleep, but actually he wasn't. He was scratching the edge of the moisture-proof mat with one hand, lost in thought.

There was a bit of a misunderstanding just now, but luckily Lu Zhao didn't notice what he was thinking, otherwise he would have been very embarrassed. Jiang Nian found it a little funny, but after laughing, he felt a little disappointed.

He felt a bit depressed and blocked inside, but the emotion was too light and shallow to weigh on, so he couldn't figure out the reason. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more annoyed he became. Jiang Nian didn't have the patience to analyze his own emotions, so he simply stopped thinking about it and turned to face Jiang Hao, who had closed his eyes. "Brother, I can't sleep. Let's chat for a while."

Jiang Hao was just resting with his eyes closed. When he heard Jiang Nian calling him, he opened his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Chen Rong said that Lu Zhao was injured while trying to save you. Remember to prepare a gift to thank him when you get back."

Jiang Nian didn't want to mention Lu Zhao right now. He said, "I know. I'll do it when I get back."

Jiang Hao added, "I've only met you a few times, and you seem to have such a good relationship."

Why is the topic still Lu Zhao? Jiang Nian grabbed the sleeping bag and said, "Yeah, we get along well. He's a very nice guy."

Without waiting for Jiang Hao to speak, he quickly said, "Brother, let's change the subject and talk about something else interesting."

Jiang Hao was silent for a moment and sat up.

Jiang Nian was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Hao said, "I'll go get Chen Rong to accompany you."

Jiang Hao is actually only five years older than Jiang Nian. Given the age difference and the fact that they are brothers who grew up together, there is no generation gap.

It’s just that Jiang Nian has been in poor health since birth, so his parents devoted more energy and attention to him, while Jiang Hao was already old enough to be sensible at that time.

In order not to worry his parents, Jiang Hao took the initiative to assume his own responsibilities, and over time he developed this mature character.

Jiang Hao really didn't know what to talk about with his brother. His life was all about work, and Jiang Nian had never been exposed to such things. He had brought Jiang Nian out on this trip because he wanted him to have fun, but he didn't expect to encounter an earthquake and now he had to rest in such a harsh environment.

Jiang Hao felt a little guilty, so he thought of another way to satisfy Jiang Nian. He acted quickly, grabbing his phone with one hand to call Shen Rong, while his other hand already touched the zipper of the tent.

Jiang Nian quickly tried to stop Jiang Hao. It was raining so hard and cold outside, what if he got sick if he went out in the rain?

"Brother, you don't have to go." Jiang Nian snatched Jiang Hao's phone, "I suddenly feel sleepy, go to sleep."

Jiang Nian lay back down, closed his eyes, placed his hands on his chest, and slept in a straight position.

After hearing no movement for a while, he opened one eye and peeked at Jiang Hao. Seeing that Jiang Hao was sitting still, he patted his side and signaled him to lie down quickly.

Jiang Hao slowly lay down, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Niannian, do you think your brother is boring?"

"How could that be?" Jiang Nian immediately said loudly, "Brother, you are very good, very good! If you don't believe me, ask Chen Rong, ask Mom and Dad, ask everyone else. It's my problem. All I do every day is eat, drink and have fun. What you are capable of is too amazing for me to understand, so you and I have no topics to talk about. In the future, there will definitely be someone who understands you, that is, my sister-in-law. Then you will definitely be as happy as Mom and Dad."

Jiang Hao felt a little more cheerful when he heard Jiang Nian's cheerful and energetic voice. Although he was busy with work and had never thought about marriage, he was really moved when he heard Jiang Nian's description.

Perhaps even he could not escape the yearning for a happy life. Jiang Hao raised the corners of his mouth and nodded lightly.

Jiang Nian, feeling that he had gotten into trouble, breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and patted his brother's chest twice, saying, "Okay, go to sleep."
