Change
Xu Nian never expected that things would take a turn for the better. She had been worried that the outcome would still be tragic, but now the person involved told her, "Don't worry, I'm moving forward step by step according to your requirements." How could she not be excited and happy?
Xu Nian said several times, "Count, count, count!"
I couldn't help but confirm again and again, "You're not crazy about me, are you? Is this true?"
Even though Xu Hongqi thought her excitement was a little strange, he didn't want to pursue it now. He couldn't bear to deliberately tease her and disappoint her, so he answered seriously: "It's true."
Xu Nian jumped up with joy on the spot, and couldn't help but hug Xu Hongqi, saying contentedly: "You are awesome!"
Xu Hongqi smiled dotingly, put his arms around Xu Nian, and asked gently, "How good is it?"
Xu Nian said frankly, "Super, super, super awesome. So awesome that I've forgiven you for all the mistakes you made earlier."
Xu Hongqi didn't want to have another surprise, so he quickly said, "Then don't bring up the past from now on."
Xu Nian withdrew from his embrace, shook her head and said, "No, no, you have to keep holding on."
After saying that, he thought of something, opened his wardrobe, took something out, then quickly turned around with his hands behind his back and said playfully, "Since you are so great, I will give you a gift."
Xu Hongqi saw that she was arrogant like a cute little kitten, with a quiet face and a voice full of anticipation. "What is it?"
Xu Nian stretched out his hand from behind, making a sound effect, "Ding Ding Ding..."
Xu Hongqi couldn't help but take two steps forward, took it, looked through it and said, "Wallet."
"How about it, do you like it?"
Xu Hongqi observed the palm-sized wallet. It was obviously a high-end product and probably contained a lot of money. He didn't know how long she had been saving the money, but the more he looked at it, the more secret pleasure he felt. He felt that he had finally found his home.
"I like it very much. It's cool."
Xu Nian was very excited to hear him say that. "I knew you would like it. I originally requested that it must be a sub-par face, otherwise it would not be high-end enough. I waited a long time to get it. I knew that we have the same good taste."
After that, he went to look for something in the cabinet and quickly returned to Xu Hongqi. "Look, this photo wasn't taken when we went there together. It was taken later when we went there with our family."
After that, he started talking again, "Look at the inside of your wallet. There's an inner layer there. I heard that many people put some cards, important notes, or... photos."
Xu Hongqi understood what Ya meant. "Then can you give me this photo? I don't have anything to share. If you can give it to me, that would be perfect."
Xu Nian curled his lips and said, "If you really want it, I'll give it to you."
Xu Hongqi suppressed a smile and said, "Yes, I must."
Xu Nian felt a little embarrassed seeing him like this, but still said, "I'll put it away for you. Here, this is how you put it."
Xu Hongqi glanced at her, rubbed the photo in his wallet and said, "It's really beautiful."
Xu Nian couldn't help but curl her lips again, and said shyly: "It's okay."
"I heard from Duan Guoyu that you were going to study here."
Xu Nian hummed twice, "My aunt said she would take me to see a school tomorrow. The military school here is pretty good."
Of course, Xu Hongqi knew more than that. He also heard that Xu Nian had taken the high school entrance exam twice. He didn't think that she was not a good student or didn't work hard as others thought. In fact, Xu Nian was only supposed to be in her senior year this year. There were many normal people who failed the high school entrance exam. She was already doing very well and had gained a lot of experience, which was not a bad thing.
He asked Xu Nian, "Have you decided where to take the exam?"
Xu Nian shook his head, looked at him and said tentatively: "It's enough for me to go to college."
Xu Hongqi flicked her head and said, "You're so useless, don't you want to make a splash?"
Xu Nian's shoulders slumped, and he muttered, "I'm not scared at all!"
"Are you still worried about me being here?"
Hearing him say this, Xu Nian felt instantly returned to the "fear" of being dominated by him in the past, and hesitated and said, "No need."
Xu Hongqi didn't say whether to use it or not, but explained some of the situation at the Duan family. After all, he had been here for two years and knew more about some things than Xu Nian. Moreover, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Xu Nian was his man, so he gave instructions as he spoke.
"Your aunt is a doctor at the military hospital, specializing in Traditional Chinese Medicine, with a minor in Western medicine respiratory medicine.
Your uncle is the commander of the third regiment here. I heard that he has outstanding combat capabilities, is a friendly person, and has good relationships with people. No one can find out the details, so even if you hear something in the future, don't tell anyone.
Your cousin is a college student now, studying in the city. He usually comes back once a month. He is still at home now, so school probably hasn't started yet, but it should be soon.
As for your cousin, he's in his third year of junior high school this year and is doing quite well academically. I spent a few days with him when I first arrived. He's a bit quiet, but he's more patient than his brother and is also a good student."
Xu Nian nodded as he listened, "My aunt's family is really well-educated. I will definitely be able to receive a lot of influence if I live here."
Xu Hongqi asked her, "Are you planning to live on campus or at your aunt's house?"
Xu Nian thought for a moment and asked him, "Do you think I should live on campus or at home?"
Xu Hongqi didn't know her yet. "Let me tell you first, even if you live on campus, you still have to get up early, even earlier than if you lived at home. Military schools all have morning exercises."
Xu Nian uttered an "ah" and bit her lip, "What time do you get up?"
Xu Hongqi made the number five and then three with his hands.
Xu Nian frowned, "It's too early! Do you usually get up this early?"
Xu Hongqi nodded.
Xu Nian muttered, "No wonder he looks stronger now."
Xu Nian said this intentionally. Xu Hongqi used to be too thin. Even though he slowly built up his body by himself later, he still looked weak and his blood circulation seemed to be not good. But now he has definitely been reborn. He is neither fat nor thin, and looks strong and energetic. In addition, he has grown up and left behind the immaturity of a boy. Now he has the coolness and elegance of a young man.
"Why are you so thin now?" Xu Hongqi also said.
Xu Nian doesn't like to hear people say she's thin, but she's stubborn. "What do you know? We're all about being thin right now."
Xu Hongqi glanced at her and said, "You look better when you're a little fatter." Then he pointed to the net bag on the table. Inside was milk candy, milk biscuits and milk powder. "Drink a glass of milk every day from now on."
When Xu Nian heard that they were all dairy products, he was embarrassed and said, "There's no need to be like this!"
"By the way, you said you won't be joining the army anymore, so will you go back to school?"
Xu Hongqi nodded. "Henan University is not far from here. It is essentially a national military district school, so he was able to register as a student at Henan University. Another reason he withdrew from the special training is not because he lacks ability, but because his ideological level is not up to standard. However, if he stays here, he will still be better than the average student."
Xu Hongqi looked out the window at the sky. It was already mid-afternoon. He told Xu Nian, "I'm going back now. Meiyue left her in-laws' home secretly. They didn't get a divorce, they just got a temporary letter of introduction."
He couldn't help her stay here forever, so he needed to find out first whether Meiyue was determined to divorce and whether she would return to her hometown after the divorce. Yesterday, Meiyue told him that their family did not go to Liu Jun to take the job back, so it was unreasonable for him to ignore Meiyue.
"Nian Nian, I think I'll be a bit busy these few days. I need to go back to school to do some handovers, and I also need to sort out Meiyue's affairs."
Xu Nian was originally in a good mood, but now his voice was low. He said, "Oh," and said, "Then you get busy."
Xu Hongqi looked into her eyes and coaxed her gently, "I'll accompany you to study for your senior year after I'm done with my work. It'll only take a few days. Wait for me."
Neither of them said what they were waiting for, but this seemed to make both of them understand...
As the sun set in the afternoon, the two Xu brothers came back. As the eldest brother, Duan Guoyu had to take on the task of food and drink. He made noodle soup, fried eggs with cucumbers, and scooped a bowl of dried pickles from the jar.
When the meal was ready, Xu Qingli and Duan Jiang had not yet returned home. Xu Nian asked Duan Guoqing, who was standing with him, "Aunt and Uncle, are you so busy every day?"
Duan Guoqing is indeed quite taciturn, as Xu Hongqi said. "Mostly."
Duan Guoju looked at his brother and sister-in-law standing there like stakes, feeling very helpless. It was not that they didn't want to help, but it was just a simple meal, and three people standing in the kitchen was not enough of a hindrance. Anyway, it was agreed that he would cook and the other two would clean up afterward.
Seeing that it was getting late, he waved his hand and said, "Let's eat first. Just sow some vegetables for them to keep."
People of the same age are not so restrained when they are together. It takes an hour to cook and five minutes to eat. After eating, Xu Nian washes up on his own, Duan Guoqing wipes the table and sweeps the floor, and then it is Duan Guoju's turn to lie leisurely on the chair.
After everything was done, the two younger ones were about to go back to their rooms, but Duan Guoju called them back, "I'm going back to school tomorrow. You two should study hard at home and be obedient."
Xu Nian was about to nod obediently, but then he heard Duan Guoqing say "huh" and turned back to his room.
Xu Nian was a beat slow and couldn't tell the difference between the big and small Wang. He nodded honestly and went back to the house quickly.
She didn't do anything all day, so naturally she wasn't very sleepy. It was just that she had to go to school tomorrow, and she had already prepared everything she needed to pack. Logically, she should go to bed early so that she would be in a good state tomorrow. However, she didn't know if her aunt had anything else to say, so now she didn't know whether she should go to bed or not.
Xu Nian simply took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to his family while he had nothing to do. He first reported that he was safe and had settled down, and then he wrote a lot of things he could say. His language was lively and no different from when he was at home. Only at the end did he show a little homesickness.
After finishing writing, Xu Nian blew on the ink. As he was blowing, he heard the sound of the door. He immediately got up and went out of the house. Seeing that it was indeed his aunt who came back, he hurriedly said, "Aunt, uncle."
Duan Jiang said "Hey", and Xu Qingli saw that her niece was still awake and was obviously waiting for them, so she said gently: "Why don't you rest yet? Aren't you sleepy?"
Xu Qingli came closer, and Xu Nian saw that her expression seemed to be both happy and conflicted, so she said bluntly: "Auntie, what's wrong with you? Are you too tired from work?"
Xu Qingli was unsure how to start, but when Xu Nian asked, she blurted out, "Niannian, your uncle got a promotion."
When Xu Nian heard that it was good news, a look of joy appeared on her face, "This is a good thing!" She couldn't help but think that she was indeed a lucky star. As soon as she came, there was a happy event in the family.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingli continued, "That's it..."
