Chapter 148
This question had been buried in his heart for a long time. Zhong Qiao had told him a lot at the beginning, and he was deeply moved. Perhaps in order to make Zhong Qiao believe that he was sincere, he advanced the plan and was even a little naive not to say goodbye to Zhong Qiao.
Later he regretted not being able to explain things clearly and not being able to say goodbye to Zhong Qiao.
But when he heard that Zhong Qiao had no reaction after learning of his departure and even worked even harder on business, Ji Hebai felt a little sour, as if he was the only childish person from beginning to end, and that person didn't care at all.
Ji Hebai was soon isolated from the outside world in the army. The training day after day was boring but fulfilling. When he had time to stop, besides being with his comrades, he would think of Zhong Qiao.
Now that he had finally reached this position, the first thing he did was to look for Zhong Qiao, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.
But Zhong Qiao still refused to say anything, so he thought she was angry, angry that he had left without saying goodbye.
"No." Zhong Qiao looked at him and sighed, "You did the right thing. Returning home and joining the army are what you wanted to do most in your heart. You just followed your heart, and there's nothing wrong with that."
Ji Hebai had nothing to say.
For some reason, he always felt that Zhong Qiao had changed a lot, at least he was completely different from how he was in college. He had become more calm and mature, and his thinking was more advanced.
Sometimes he would wonder if Zhong Qiao had suffered some major blow during the year or so of marriage, which caused such a drastic change in her personality.
"Zhong Qiao." Ji Hebai felt like he was coaxing her, his tone so gentle that it seemed to drip water. "I mean, are you really never angry?"
Zhong Qiao looked at him without saying anything.
Angry? Should she be angry? For more than a year, Ji Hebai had disappeared without a trace, as if she had vanished from the face of the earth. Everyone was observing her reaction, thinking she would cry or something, but she didn't. Instead, she focused even more on her work.
Others might think that she doesn't like Ji Hebai, but only Zhong Qiao herself knows that many times she was absent-minded because of Ji Hebai.
And she never dared to say these.
"So." Zhong Qiao felt a pang on the tip of her nose, but she still turned her head away. "Why didn't you say goodbye to me?"
Ji Hebai's eyes turned and he whispered, "Because I'm not sure."
Now it was Zhong Qiao's turn to be stunned.
"What?"
Ji Hebai took a deep breath and said, "Because I'm not sure."
"Zhong Qiao." He carefully put his hand on Zhong Qiao's arm, "I'm not sure if you have any feelings for me. Do you like me or not? Or am I just wishful thinking?"
"I don't want to force you, but I'm afraid of losing you."
"I'm afraid someone like Xu Shaojun will cheat you, but you call me naive, so I want to go a little higher and let you know that I'm not being careless."
Zhong Qiao was so shocked by his words that his scalp numbed and he was speechless for a long time.
After a while, she said, "Ji Hebai, let me tell you my answer now."
She suddenly tiptoed up and leaned over to Ji Hebai's cheek and gave him a light kiss.
That was her answer.
As for other things, including weighing the pros and cons, Zhong Qiao closed her eyes and didn't want to think about them. At least at this moment, she didn't want to ignore the burning love of the person in front of her like a Bodhisattva.
Ji Hebai was startled by her reaction, and even his pupils trembled, but after he came to his senses, ecstasy and shyness surged in his heart.
He subconsciously wanted to hug Zhong Qiao's waist, but because
Let go awkwardly due to inexperience.
Well, that's it, just watching quietly, it's satisfying enough.

Xu Shaojun returned home in a miserable state, dragging his dirty clothes, feeling like a beggar. He had never suffered such a great humiliation in his life, and all this was because of the adulterer and the adulteress.
Xu Lili came out of the room with her belly bulging: "Second brother, what happened? Did you catch her back?"
Her face was full of disgust and disdain.
"Your son is very noisy. I can't control him. He's like a devil."
With a push, Xu Shaojun turned around, and her face was bruised and swollen, which scared her.
Xu Lili covered her mouth, stunned: "Second brother, you——"
She wanted to ask, how did it become like this? But seeing Xu Shaojun's vicious eyes, she dared not speak anymore.
"Brother, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Xu Lili shrank her neck. "My mother-in-law must be worried sick right now. I'll leave your son to you. I've done my best."
"As for Zhong Qiao's matter, you can only rely on yourself."
Xu Shaojun looked at her and said, "Don't forget, you are also a member of the Xu family. You have the blood of the Xu family flowing in your bones."
Xu Lili got angry when she heard this: "Second brother, what do you mean by this? Now you know I'm a member of the Xu family? Why didn't you say anything for me when my mother used me as a commodity to mortgage me?"
Xu Shaojun didn't bother to pay attention to her: "After all, you just want to leave, right? Just leave. A married woman is like spilled water."
The last sentence was meaningful. He thought of Zhong Qiao, and when he saw Xu Lili's face again, he felt a sudden disgust in his heart.
"Women are all the same."
Xu Lili knew that he was taking his anger out on her, and her face turned pale immediately, and she gritted her teeth in anger.
"Second brother, I may not have done anything meritorious, but I have worked hard. For this family, I have sacrificed myself. I married a man like that and was bullied by his family day and night. What else do you want me to do? Do you want me to dig out my heart before you believe that I am wholeheartedly for this family?"
"Get lost." Xu Shaojun said bluntly, "Don't bother me."
Xu Lili was furious, but she didn't dare to refute him and left angrily.
After she left, Zhou Ping walked out from the corner carefully.
She had seen all of this a long time ago, but she didn't dare to come out. The reason was that since her second son got divorced, he couldn't afford the tuition and his grades plummeted. Her second son began to blame her and this poor family.
His temper became more and more irritable. Sometimes Zhou Ping felt that her second son's temper was very similar to that of her husband who died early.
Therefore, I became more and more afraid.
"Son, Mom will get you some medicine." Zhou Ping made an excuse and was about to go out, but was unexpectedly stopped by Xu Shaojun.
"Mom." Xu Shaojun forced a strange smile on his bruised face. "Before, you said there was a girl from a wealthy family whose father was a school principal, right?"
Zhou Ping's body trembled violently.
"Mom, your son is not young anymore. It's time for Yaozu to find a stepmother. When the time comes, you can think of a way to find this girl to go on a blind date with me."
As for Zhong Qiao, Xu Shaojun no longer had any hope. After being turned down this time when he went to the Zhong family, he realized that there was no possibility for him and Zhong Qiao to be together, and that Zhong Qiao would not support him. So he could only find someone else who could be used by him - a blood bag.
