If not as a classmate, how could he thank Zhai Sheng and distance himself from Xiao Qiao?
Zhu Baoguo, who couldn't figure it out, became anxious. He seemed to want to confirm something and say something, but the words that had already jumped to his throat could not be said.
"Hmm?" Zhu Baoguo didn't say anything. Zhai Sheng asked lightly, not too hard or too slowly, just like a brush dipped in ink casually tapping on paper, but he asked directly, which had the effect of brightening the picture, and made Zhu Baoguo panic.
"I, I am here as a brother! Yes, you don't know, I am one year older than Xiao Qiao. Although Xiao Qiao is in the same grade as me, she started school earlier and is in the same grade as me but younger than me. I always treat Xiao Qiao as my sister and I want to protect her. Of course, you are very good to Xiao Qiao, and as her brother, I naturally want to thank you on her behalf." Yes, that's it.
He had said long ago that Xiao Qiao was his sister, and he would take good care of Xiao Qiao and not let others bully Xiao Qiao.
He would beat back those who bullied Xiao Qiao, but was it too much for him to say "thank you" to someone like Zhai Sheng who helped Xiao Qiao?
With this identity as a shield, Zhu Baoguo straightened his back, changed his previous guilty conscience and uncertainty, and had to be righteous.
Zhai Sheng smiled shrewdly: "I accept this reason, and I also accept your thanks."
Zhu Chengqi himself has great abilities, but unfortunately he has made his son a bit useless. He is already 18 years old, but he is still as green as a young boy and doesn't know any strategy. He just tried his hand, but Zhu Baoguo dug his own grave, not only blocking his way out, but also burying himself.
Zhu Baoguo is not experienced enough now, and he doesn't know what kind of treasure he has lost with his words just now. When Zhu Baoguo grows up and matures in the future, he will regret it.
In this regard, Zhai Sheng shamelessly expressed that he was willing to be Zhu Baoguo's enlightenment teacher and give Zhu Baoguo a "profound" lesson first.
Zhu Baoguo would blame Zhu Chengqi for not teaching him well, and himself for being too stupid. Wang Yang schemed and bullied him like that, but he still didn't learn his lesson at this age. He dug a big hole for himself and then buried himself in it.
Zhu Baoguo's tense nerves could not help but twitch again because of Zhai Sheng's words. What did it mean? He looked like he was going to fight him just now, but now he was soft and gave in?
The Zhai Sheng he knew was definitely not someone who would compromise so easily. Could it be that Zhai Sheng had something big to deal with him?
"You had a good chat. What did you say?" Feeling that the time he had left for the two of them was about right, Qiao Nan came out with two cups of hot water and gave one to Zhai Sheng and Zhu Baoguo.
"Nothing, just chatting casually."
"Don't worry, sit down." Unlike Zhu Baoguo, Zhai Sheng, who had just done something shameful, was calm as usual. Zhai Sheng once again nipped the bud of a "possibility" in the
bud for Qiao Nan's future. The Zhu family invited the Qiao family to dinner, and Zhai Sheng received the news almost immediately.
At that time, Zhai Hua laughed at Zhai Sheng and said, "You have to hurry up, otherwise, Nan Nan will really be kidnapped. I heard that the boy from the Zhu family is only one year older than Nan Nan, so their ages are more suitable. They were classmates in junior high school, true childhood sweethearts, and they must have a good relationship. You said three years of junior high school, three years of high school, and if there are four years of college, then Nan Nan will have the surname Zhu in the future?"
"Look again, the Zhu family has invited the Qiao family. Obviously, the Zhu family does not look down on the Qiao family, and can accept the Qiao family's situation. Just in this respect, Zhu Baoguo has an advantage over you. Zhai Sheng, I think your matter with Nan Nan is hanging. Who knows, the two children may have fallen in love with each other after being together every day, and you have nothing to do with it."
Zhai Hua said these words, as if Zhai Sheng picked them up and they were not real siblings. Zhai Hua chose to say these words to stimulate people. She just wanted to see if Zhai Sheng would lose his mind for Qiao Nan and rush to the Zhu family to snatch her away.
Unfortunately, Zhai Sheng was not fooled.
Until Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang were safely sent back to the courtyard by the Zhu family, Zhai Sheng did not show any abnormality in front of other people in the Zhai family. Only when he was playing chess with Master Zhu, he made a small mistake.
Recalling what Zhai Hua said yesterday, Zhai Sheng stretched out his arms, picked up the tea poured by his young wife, drank it gently, and smiled.
With Nan Nan's eyes, she would never fall in love with Zhu Baoguo. Just being suitable is not enough.
"Nan Nan, the New Year is coming soon. Did you forget something?" After drinking a sip of boiled water, Zhai Sheng reminded Qiao Nan what the purpose of his visit today was.
"Things? Oh, I remember now, but hasn't the old man been very busy recently? Last time I wanted to go, his door was so crowded with people that I almost ran away." Qiao Nan realized that Zhai Sheng was not talking about someone else, but Lin Yuankang, who had accepted her as his last disciple half a year ago.
Qiao Nan had seen this once when she first went to the Lin family, but she didn't expect that the situation she saw the second time was even more exaggerated than the first time. She didn't understand why there were so many people who were always blocking the door of her master's house and refused to leave.
"The reason why your master encountered this trouble is all because of you, his little disciple. If your identity is not exposed, there will always be people who are unwilling to give up and want to give it a try. For you, your master has suffered a lot." Zhai Sheng's dark eyes locked directly on Qiao Nan's face, but his tone was as calm as usual.
"Is that so? Then I'll have to ask Master to work harder in the future." Qiao Nan said hurriedly. What if those people knew that she had taken the position they had been longing for? Would they just chop her to death with a knife?
The topic that Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were talking about was something Zhu Baoguo didn't understand and had no idea about. Hearing the two of them chatting as if no one was around, and he was like an outsider who could only sit there and listen, Zhu Baoguo was so depressed that his face turned black. Not right with Jin'er,
he was very not right with Jin'er today. He had never disliked Zhai Sheng before, but he had never disliked him as much as he did today. He wanted to kick Zhai Sheng away from Xiao Qiao.
Feeling uncomfortable and awkward, Zhu Baoguo wanted to know who this "master" that Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng mentioned was, but his pride made him purse his lips and resisted speaking.
"Nan Nan, are you there? I came to see you."
