In her previous life, after Qiao Zijin married Chen Jun, she won a lot of praise for her hands, which made everyone think that Qiao Zijin actually had a very good family background and that the Chen family had married a daughter-in-law of equal status.
Since Qiao Nan and Qiao Dongliang moved out, Qiao Zijin's white and tender hands certainly could not have remained forever, and it was reasonable that they became thicker.
Qiao Zijin had tried her best not to think too much, but who would have thought that Qiao Nan would expose her shortcomings today.
"You, forget it, I'm happy today, I won't bother with you, I'm going to sleep." The more she quarreled with Qiao Nan, the more proud Qiao Nan would be. Anyway, her father would not leave today, and she was too lazy to argue with Qiao Nan and waste her saliva.
Watching Qiao Zijin, she walked back to the room with her chest puffed out like a little rooster, and closed the door without hesitation.
The sound of "bang" made Qiao Nan feel even more uncomfortable.
Her father, her mother, and Qiao Zijin were all in the room, and she was the only one outside. This door was not like a door, but more like a door of the heart, separating her from the three of them.
Qiao Nan raised one corner of her mouth, wrinkled her eyebrows, and finally walked to the door without any reluctance, opened the door, and left the Qiao family's courtyard.
She has lived in the Qiao family's courtyard since she was born, and she grew up in the Qiao family's courtyard. But this place does not belong to her, and she always feels suffocated staying in this place.
Walking out of Qiao's courtyard, Qiao Nan looked up at the dark sky without a single star, and sighed deeply. Then she lowered her head and walked towards the temporary "home" in a depressed mood.
The lights of thousands of houses were bright, and Qiao Nan's brows were indifferent as she walked on the dark road. Her lonely figure seemed to be abandoned by the whole world.
Back to the temporary home, even if there was no one at home to laugh with Qiao Nan or cry with her, and Qiao Nan was the only one who was lonely and cold, Qiao Nan felt that she would rather be alone and more comfortable than stay in Qiao's courtyard, where she couldn't even get through the New Year and was depressed to death.
The sound of someone stepping on the snow made Qiao Nan, who was immersed in sorrow, suddenly raise the string in her heart, and her hair stood up in fear.
"Are you scared now?" Zhai Sheng came out from the dark, looking at Qiao Nan with anger and distress: "You have been going back alone for half a year. When did you become so timid? I remember that for a year and a half, you didn't even dare to look at me, and you always lowered your head to talk to me?"
"Brother Zhai?!" Qiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief, shouted happily, and hurriedly took two steps at a time and trotted to Zhai Sheng's side.
On the night that should have been the most lively, tasting the coldest loneliness in the world, Qiao Nan couldn't help but think of her good friend. The first person Qiao Nan thought of was not Zhai Sheng, but Zhu Baoguo, who was his playmate and classmate.
But Qiao Nan knew that it was not appropriate for her to go to Zhu Baoguo at this time. The family was happily having New Year's Eve dinner together, and she, an outsider, was not going to join in the fun.
What Qiao Nan did not expect was that the person she least expected to appear at this time actually showed up. This was simply like a miracle.
"It's so late, why are you still out? Aren't you going to rest at home? Is your unit on holiday this year? Can you go home for the New Year?" Standing next to Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan changed from her previous gloomy look to a lively and energetic one, her little mouth chattering, making Zhai Sheng want to use a special method to block this sweet-looking little mouth.
"I know there's a fool who will definitely make things difficult for me, so even if I'm resting, I can't take a complete vacation. I'll take you home." After thinking it over, Zhai Sheng didn't dare to offend Qiao Nan. He rubbed Qiao Nan's head as usual, then took Qiao Nan's slightly cold hand and walked away.
Zhai Sheng's hands were very hot and warm. The temperature like the sun gradually dispelled the haze in Qiao Nan's heart, bringing a bright and beautiful scene: "Brother Zhai, how did you guess that?"
Before today, she thought she could bear it for one night.
Qiao Nan didn't need Qiao Zijin to tell her, she also knew that after the New Year's Eve dinner, she and her father would not be able to go back.
Obviously, she behaved in a way that made Zhu Baoguo think that she was a dough ball with a bad temper, and she thought she could hold it in for one night. Unexpectedly, it has only been less than half a year since she moved out of the home that made her suffer for her whole life, and now she can't even hold it in for a night, and can't bear it anymore.
What Qiao Nan doesn't understand is that she can't even figure out her own temper, how can Zhai Sheng be so powerful, just waiting for her here, as if Zhai Sheng knows her better than she does.
Zhai Sheng thought about it, his eyes darkened, but his eyes became brighter, becoming the only light in the darkness in Qiao Nan's eyes: "Yes, how do you say I know?"
"..." Qiao Nan blushed and was stunned. What did Brother Zhai mean by this? Why did it sound like a confession to her? Was she confused by her mother and Qiao Zijin's anger, so she had an illusion?
Qiao Nan was so shocked that she couldn't react, which made Zhai Sheng smile bitterly: "You are still young after all." She
would be one year older after today and would be an adult, so why didn't she understand him?
"No, not young anymore!" Qiao Nan was not convinced. She was still young, and she was already an "old lady" in her forties!
"Are you sure you are not young anymore? You know, there are some things that only adults can do." Zhai Sheng stopped and looked at Qiao Nan seriously again. Once he got a positive answer, he would not give Qiao Nan any chance to back down.
Eighteen, this is a beautiful and desirable age, and it is the age that Zhai Sheng has been waiting for more than a year.
"Brother Zhai, are you serious? Or are you kidding me? Today is New Year's Eve, not April Fool's Day, and this joke is not funny at all!" How could Brother Zhai mean this? She must have thought too much and was mad at Qiao Zijin: "Brother Zhai, don't mind what I just said. I was just mad. I didn't mean anything else. Don't laugh at my narcissism."
"Today is not April Fool's Day, so I'm not teasing you, let alone joking. Nan Nan, you actually understand what I mean, right?" Zhai Sheng is a soldier, and he likes to be straightforward most of the time. This is not a military exercise, let alone a battle with the enemy. Standing in front of him is his favorite little girl, the one he wants to marry and spend the rest of his life with.
"Nannan, I like you. If you are willing to accept me, when you are 18 years old, I will report the marriage directly to the leader and marry you. After you marry me, you don't have to bear any burden and can follow me in the army."
