Qian Duoduo sighed and said, "Third Brother, actually I regret coming to find you."
Qian Mao looked at her seriously: "I'm here, you're not all alone. You know that? If something happens, are you going to have to solve it all yourself? Then I'd be completely incompetent, wouldn't I?"
Qian Duoduo glanced down at the bag at her feet and said, "Actually, I was just furious, otherwise I wouldn't have come here."
Qian Mao remained silent, waiting for her response.
Qian Maoduo said, "When I returned to the dormitory from the cafeteria today, I found that my locker had been smashed open in a bag. Although there was nothing inside, it still gave us a fright. Then I discovered that everyone else's bedding was intact, except for mine, which had been cut into strips like this. We also checked, and the dormitory door locks were not damaged at all."
I contacted the security team, but they haven't found the person who caused the damage yet.
Qian Mao's heart sank: "Do you have someone you suspect?"
Qian Duoduo glanced quickly at Qian Mao, then looked at the table in front of her and mumbled a soft "hmm".
Qian Mao: "Shredded ginger?"
Qian Duoduo responded with an "Mmm".
Qian Mao knew that there were only five people living in Qian Duoduo's dormitory. Guo Ni and Duoduo's relationship shouldn't be that serious. Lu Fen and Duoduo had always been together. As for Tian Rong, Duoduo had helped her family before, so she wouldn't create conflict in this way. As for the last one, the two of them had just had a fight a couple of days ago, and he had also said some rather unpleasant things to Jiang Sisi.
Seeing Qian Mao deep in thought, Qian Duoduo felt a pang of guilt. After all, it was rare for her third brother to have feelings for a girl, and this was the first time, and so many things had happened. But now that things had come to this point, she felt that anything she said would be superfluous, and she regretted her impulsiveness even more.
When Qian Mao came to his senses, he saw the heartache and frustration in Qian Duoduo's eyes. He said, "I know about this. A couple of days ago, after we finished eating at the iron pot hotpot restaurant, I told Jiang Sisi that my family doesn't approve of me being with her. She must be having a hard time accepting it."
Qian Duoduo looked at Qian Mao in surprise. She didn't know that such a thing had happened after that day!
If that's the case, then her gaze falling on the bag on the ground seems to make sense. Last time, when Jiang Sisi's parents divorced and didn't care about her, she acted like she was going to die. Qian Duoduo now thinks it's a bit pathological. Now that Qian Mao is talking to her about breaking up, it's not hard to explain why she did this.
Qian Duoduo said, "Third Brother, I'm sorry."
Qian Mao shook his head and said, "It's better to know now. After all, if we only discover the problem after we get married, it will be a much harder thing to solve."
Qian Duoduo said, "Third Brother, have you thought it through?"
Qian Mao reached into his pocket and touched the cigarettes in his pocket. He glanced at Qian Duoduo across from him, then put his hand down again. He said, "Actually, when we first got together, she was so innocent and carefree. I really liked her. Her smile was like a five-colored flower, and I, a silly country boy, fell head over heels for her."
However, as you said, after her parents divorced, her personality changed a lot. She became very clingy and would check up on me almost every day. Otherwise, she would come to the city government to find me, crying and whining. At first, I thought it was because her parents' divorce made her feel insecure, so I patiently comforted her.
But I also need to work, and her presence always disrupts my work. Out of desperation, I told her that her presence was affecting my work, and only then did she stop. Next, I had to go on a business trip out of town, and she also needs to go to school, so I finally got a break.
Qian Duoduo looked at Qian Mao in surprise. It turned out that so much had happened between them. But this was completely different from how Jiang Sisi had acted in front of them. Jiang Sisi's sweet and loving demeanor made Qian Duoduo think that their relationship was very good. This realization made her feel that she hadn't cared enough about her third brother.
Qian Mao gave a wry smile, but in the end he couldn't help himself. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it under his nose, smelled it, and said, "After I told her that we needed to calm down and think carefully about whether the two of us were suitable, I suddenly felt a sense of relief, as if I had been unshackled. This also made me realize that I had been carrying a heavy burden in this relationship."
Seeing her third brother's heartbroken state, Qian Duoduo felt even more sorry for him, and her feelings towards Jiang Sisi worsened.
Qian Mao said, "I never thought I could say these things to you. I guess I have no one to confide in."
Qian Duoduo's eyes reddened: "Brother!"
Qian Mao said, "From a young age, I often schemed, scheming for the food in my eldest and second eldest sons' mouths, scheming for those who bullied our family, and scheming for those who disobeyed my father's management. It wasn't until I became the mayor of Ludao that I realized that what I had done was nothing more than petty tricks."
Mayor Lu taught me a lot, and transformed me from a lowly secretary into his right-hand woman. My scheming also shifted from dealing with political rivals to joining forces with Mayor Lu to stir up trouble in the Harbin Municipal Government, and engaging in complex political maneuvering with some of his political allies. I get tired too. I thought having a sunny girl by my side would give my heart a place to rest, but it only made me more exhausted.
Qian Duoduo's tears fell instantly. She had always thought that her third brother was working hard by Mayor Lu's side, but she never expected it to be like this. She hated Jiang Sisi's tantrums even more and wished she had never met her.
When Qian Mao saw Qian Duoduo's tears, he was startled. He immediately tried to wipe her tears, but he didn't have a handkerchief. The girl was grown up, and he couldn't just reach out and wipe them for her. He could only comfort her from the side: "Oh, I was just feeling down. Why are you crying? If my parents find out, I'll definitely get a beating when I get home."
As Qian Mao comforted her, Qian Duoduo shed even more tears.
This left Qian Mao at a loss: "Don't cry, if I'm crying, I'll cry with you!"
These words stopped Qian Duoduo's tears. She wiped the tears from her face and said, "Third Brother, do you really want to break up with Jiang Sisi?"
Qian Mao said, "It seems that the two of us are not suitable for each other now."
Qian Duoduo said, "What if she comes here looking for you? You don't just represent yourself!"
Qian Mao paused for a moment, then said, "I will explain it to her, and I will also tell Grandpa Sun. I will also report it to Mayor Lu."
Qian Duoduo paused for a moment, and agreed, "That's right, these potential dangers are the most annoying right now!"
