After having dinner, Qian Mao and Jiang Sisi went for a stroll along the Songhua River. Neither of them spoke. Jiang Sisi looked at the sunset in the distance and the birds flying in the sky, and sighed. Why couldn't she be as free as a bird?
Hearing Jiang Sisi's sigh, Qian Mao simply reached out and silently took her small hand in his own, his gaze fixed on the shimmering river surface, where wild ducks occasionally swam by, leaving behind trails of ripples.
Feeling Qian Mao's warmth, Jiang Sisi lowered her head, looked at their clasped hands, and asked softly, "Qian Mao, can we make it to the end?"
Qian Mao smiled and said, "I want to grow old with you, what about you?"
Jiang Sisi's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and saw Qian Mao's smiling, crescent-shaped eyes and his perfectly set eight small white teeth. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Are you sure?"
Qian Mao laughed and said, "I'm almost thirty years old. If I didn't know what I wanted, wouldn't I be stupid?"
Jiang Sisi hesitated for a moment and asked, "If I and Duoduo fell into the water, who would you save first?"
Qian Mao said, "Duoduo."
Jiang Sisi's expression changed, and she tried to break free from Qian Mao's grasp, but she couldn't. Qian Mao suddenly hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Duoduo is still young. She is my sister, the person I've wanted to give the whole world to since she was little. But I'm willing to go to the ends of the earth with you!"
Jiang Sisi's struggling body suddenly froze. She looked up at Qian Mao and saw the seriousness in his eyes, and her heart started beating fast.
She asked, her body trembling, "I have a bad temper."
Qian Mao: "I also have a bad temper, but I generally don't lose my temper."
Jiang Sisi asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Qian Mao laughed and said, "Duoduo said that what I do is called strategic planning. If you provoke me, I will retaliate on the spot if I can, and if I can't, I will find a chance to get revenge!"
Jiang Sisi was suddenly at a loss. Was she someone to mess with?
When Qian Mao saw Jiang Sisi looking like a frightened little chick, he laughed, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Frightened? That was me ten years ago. I really was like that back then. But now I'm much more mature. At least I won't hit my wife, and I'm capable of being a support for her."
Jiang Sisi touched the spot where she had been kissed and said, "What if I did something wrong?"
Qian Mao said, "If it's a small matter, no problem, I can handle it. If it's a big matter, no problem either, I can solve it. But wife, small matters are fine, but as for big matters, let's avoid them as much as possible. I'm afraid my mom will beat me with a broom!"
Seeing the hint of grievance in his voice at the end, Jiang Sisi asked, "What's wrong? Did your mom hit you?"
Qian Mao sighed and said, "In our family, my dad makes the decisions on big matters, and my mom makes the decisions on small matters. But over the years, our family hasn't had any major issues."
Jiang Sisi smiled. These words seemed even more down-to-earth, making her inexplicably want to meet her future mother-in-law.
Qian Mao said, "I know it's hard for you to accept what you said to Duoduo, but Sisi is my sister, the sister I've raised since she was little. We are connected by blood. You should be able to feel it. After you and I started dating, Duoduo's attitude towards you shows her trust in you. She hopes that we brothers can be happy."
Jiang Sisi paused for a moment and said, "I know. Before, Duoduo and I were in the dormitory. Although we talked and laughed, I could feel her distance and politeness. Since we started dating, whether in the dormitory or in class, or even during what I felt was the most difficult time, she has taken good care of me."
"It's just that I felt she had just offended me a little."
Qian Mao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Duoduo isn't someone who can confide in just anyone. She'll only include someone in her protective circle if she feels it's worthwhile."
Sister-in-law Guo Ni is a perfect example. This is why she always stands on the same side as Duo Duo, no matter what. I hope you can also become a member of Duo Duo's protective circle; it won't do you any harm.
Jiang Sisi nodded: "Actually, Duoduo is taking good care of me now."
Qian Mao laughed and said, "Look, there are two wild ducks over there. Don't they look like we are now, with you holding me and me hugging you?"
Jiang Sisi gently patted Qian Mao, then leaned against him, looking at the wild ducks not far away, their necks intertwined!
Dorm 203 is now a group of four again. Lu Fen said, "Summer vacation is almost here, and the annual exam countdown is starting. I have a feeling I'm in a bit of trouble this year!"
Jiang Sisi smiled and said, "If you spent more of your martial arts training time on studying, you wouldn't think like that!"
Lu Fen shook his head and said, "That's impossible!" Then he glanced at Qian Duoduo and asked, "Duoduo, will you get a scholarship this year?"
Qian Duoduo shook her head and said, "This is quite difficult. Last semester, I grew greenhouse vegetables in my field, but now we're in a period of transition, so there's no way to see any results."
Guo Ni said, "That's how Sly is?"
Qian Duoduo said, "What do you mean? It's just like that!"
Lu Fen immediately said mysteriously, "I know some news, do you want to hear it?"
Guo Ni immediately said, "Hurry up and say it, stop dawdling!"
Lu Fen said, "This Shrek's family has some connections. Although this incident has become known throughout our department, his family did a background check on him, so the department only gave him a major demerit."
Jiang Sisi said, "Is Shrek's family that powerful?"
Lu Fen shrugged indifferently and said, "I don't know if he's good or not, but that's the result. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, the school won't touch him for the time being."
Qian Duoduo suddenly asked, "What if he makes another move?"
Lu Fen stroked his chin, feigning profundity: "If it's something really serious, then he probably won't be able to stay at school." He then looked at Qian Duoduo and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Qian Duoduo shook his head: "Thoughts? What thoughts? I don't have any. I'm just someone who doesn't bother me unless I'm bothered. Last time, he attacked first, so I had to take action."
Jiang Sisi looked at Qian Duoduo and said, "You made a move, and the result was that the other party received a major demerit, while you suffered no loss whatsoever!"
Qian Duoduo said, "I am on the side of justice. Besides, I am a fairly magnanimous person. I will not offend others unless they offend me. If they offend me, I will retaliate. If they offend me again, I will eliminate them completely!"
Jiang Sisi immediately turned to look at her after hearing that sentence: "No, are you really that ruthless?"
Qian Duoduo's beautiful eyes widened: "Jiang Sisi, don't mess with me, or I'll teach you a lesson!"
Jiang Sisi immediately hid behind Guo Ni, peeking out with her eyes, and said, "I'll get your third brother to teach you a lesson!"
Qian Duoduo looked at Jiang Sisi for a while and said, "You win!"
