Chapter 165 What's the Difference
When Zhai Sheng was in the army, he was a serious person. However, whenever Zhai Sheng showed the slightest expression, especially when he smiled, it was a sign of bad luck for someone. That was why he got such a nickname among the soldiers.
This was the first time Zhou Jun had seen an expression that looked like he was angry after following Liesheng for so many years, so he immediately started to wonder if he had seen it wrong.
"Zhou Jun?" After a long time without getting a reply from Zhou Jun, Zhai Sheng frowned slightly, with a stern look in his eyes.
"Yes, Captain!" Zhou Jun clasped his feet together, stood straight, raised his hands to his ears, and saluted Zhai Sheng in a standard manner.
"Okay, hold the watermelon and go back first."
"Yes, Captain." Zhai Sheng gave an order and Zhou Jun took action.
Zhou Jun turned 180 degrees in a row, put his hands on his waist, as if ready to run, and then started running towards the hospital, leaving Qiao Nan stunned.
Was Zhou Dajun just fooled by Brother Zhai?
Wait, why did she use the word "fool"?
"Brother Zhai, what do you want to talk to me about?" Qiao Nan shook her head, shaking the not-so-nice word out of her mind. How could such an upright and positive Brother Zhai just want to fool Brother Zhou? Moreover, what reason did Brother Zhai have to fool Brother Zhou? This must be her illusion.
"Are you familiar with Zhou Jun?" Zhai Sheng did not answer Qiao Nan's question, but asked Qiao Nan instead.
"Not familiar with each other, I've only met him twice."
"Twice?" Isn't this every time they meet?!
"Yes, didn't Brother Zhai send Brother Zhou to give me money last time? Including this time, it's the second time." Qiao Nan stretched out two fingers and made a "two" gesture, which looked really stupid.
Seeing Qiao Nan's silly look, Zhai Sheng, who had been shrouded in a gloomy face, suddenly brightened up, his tightly pursed lips relaxed, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.
But soon, Zhai Sheng held back and continued to put on a serious attitude: "The person who gave you money last time was Zhou Jun?"
When Zhai Sheng received Qiao Nan's call, he became anxious. Qiao Nan's crying on the phone made Zhai Sheng's heart burn like a fire, and he wished he could rush to Qiao Nan's side immediately.
Who would have known that at this moment, Zhai Sheng received a task from above.
In the face of national interests, Zhai Sheng had to put all personal matters aside no matter how unwilling he was, so he could only find someone to send money to Qiao Nan on his behalf.
Zhai Sheng was too anxious at that time, so he was not in a hurry at all. He wondered who he had sent to give money to Qiao Nan.
Only now did he find out that the person he had called was Zhou Jun. What's more, Zhou Jun's father was also sick and was in the same ward as Qiao Dongliang, becoming a fellow patient.
"Didn't Brother Zhai ask Brother Zhou to give me the money?" Qiao Nan was stunned. Why did Brother Zhai ask her this question?
"Brother Zhou? You seem to be quite familiar with him." Zhai Sheng's expression suddenly changed and he became cold again.
"..." Qiao Nan had a big question on her mind. What did she say wrong again? Why did Brother Zhai seem angry?
"Brother Zhou is older than me... seven years older. Is there a problem if I call him brother?" Why would Brother Zhai be unhappy?
"You call me Brother Zhai because I am five years older than you?" This explanation was very bad to Zhai Sheng, and made him even more gloomy.
Qiao Nan opened her mouth and was almost stumped by Zhai Sheng's question: "Brother Zhai is Brother Zhai, and Brother Zhou is Brother Zhou. They are not the same. Brother Zhou also came to help my father deliver money last time. If the money had not been delivered in time, my father's surgery would not have been possible. Out of courtesy, I also want to thank Brother Zhou. Because of our young age, I call him brother?"
This, this is not human nature, isn't it the same for everyone? Could it be that she doesn't call Zhou Jun "Big Brother Zhou" but "Handsome Brother Zhou" instead?
"What about me?" Was it because he had helped Qiao Nan so much that Qiao Nan treated him so well? Was all this just out of gratitude?
The more he thought about it, the darker Zhai Sheng's face became, like a rain cloud that could rain at any time, so dark that it was frightening to look at.
Qiao Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Zhai, why do you always compare yourself with Brother Zhou? Is that possible? Brother Zhou is older than me, do you want me to call him Zhou Jun?"
"So, this is just a polite way of addressing Zhou Jun?" Zhai Sheng felt a little better.
"It's not difficult?" Qiao Nan asked with frowned eyebrows.
"What about me?" Zhai Sheng suddenly thought to himself. There are many kinds of brothers in this world. One kind of brother is called a love brother. And what kind of brother is he to Qiao Nan?
However, when this question popped up in Zhai Sheng’s mind, he was stunned. Why did he have such a doubt?
Being locked tightly by Zhai Sheng's two black and bright gem-like eyes, Qiao Nan's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he couldn't help but tense up. His legs were so stiff that he couldn't move a step. His face flushed and his eyes flickered, as if he was avoiding Zhai Sheng's gaze, but also as if he was meeting his gaze: "Brother Zhai, what's wrong with you today? Why do you keep asking such weird questions? I'm confused by your questions. What do you want to know?"
“…”
Zhai Sheng closed his eyes. Yes, what exactly did he want to know by asking these questions?
"Get ready tomorrow. I'll take you to see someone."
"Ah?" Qiao Nan's mouth opened even wider. Was this the topic she was talking about with Brother Zhai just now: "Brother Zhai, do you really have something to talk to me about?" Wasn't she trying to fool Brother Zhou?
"But, Brother Zhai, when did you call me Nannan?" Thinking of how Zhai Sheng had just called Zhou Jun "Nannan", Qiao Nan's face turned even redder.
In the more than one year that Zhai Sheng had been with her, he had never called Qiao Nan so affectionately.
"Can't we start today?" Zhai Sheng walked towards the courtyard, but he didn't walk very fast. At least Qiao Nan could keep up with him.
"Neither, nor." Qiao Nan shook her head: "Brother Zhai, who are you taking me to see tomorrow?" In this world, besides her father calling her Nan Nan, Qiao Zijin would only call her that when he wanted her to help him or get money.
Suddenly there was another person calling herself Nan Nan, and Qiao Nan always felt it was a bit strange.
"You'll know when you see her tomorrow." Zhai Sheng was afraid that Qiao Nan would be nervous, so he added, "Actually, you just need to keep your usual appearance."
"Oh, Brother Zhai, you came to see me today just for this matter?" Who was it that made Brother Zhai make this special trip? "Brother Zhai, what's the fruit in your hand?"
