After dinner, Jiang Wan and Zhang Qingdong lay in their beds, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Zhang Qingdong put his hands on the pillow, Jiang Wan’s face was in his mind.
He was so upset that he wanted to curse his parents.
Hasn't he always treated her as his sister? Why couldn't he feel happy at all when he heard that Yan was targeting her?
The reason he forced her to leave was that he didn't want her to stay here and suffer.
This little girl is still young and doesn’t understand matters of the heart. What if she regrets staying here later?
Zhang Qingdong knew that she was pretty, had a good personality, simple thoughts, and was easily deceived.
Zhang Qingdong thought a lot and it was already early morning when he fell asleep.
Jiang Wan also suffered from insomnia, but she had gotten used to it.
In the second half of the night, Zhang Qingdong dreamed that he and Jiang Wan were married, and he woke up laughing in his dream.
Jiang Wan was awakened by the noise coming from the living room.
When she came out, Zhang Qingdong had already prepared breakfast.
The rain is still falling outside the window, but it is much lighter than last night.
Zhang Qingdong said, "I'll take you there after breakfast."
Jiang Wan didn't refuse. If she walked to town at this time, she would be late for class.
Jiang Wan said: "Thank you, I'm sorry to trouble you again."
These words made Zhang Qingdong pause with his hand holding the chopsticks. She had never been so calm and polite in front of him before.
"Don't say that, you're all alone here, and I should take care of you.
I've always wanted to see you, but I've been too busy these past two days."
He had always wanted to go see her, but the team had been training very hard these past two days and several of his men were not physically up to standard, so he had to supervise them.
When the car drove towards the town, Zhang Qingdong usually drove and Jiang Wan would sit in the passenger seat, but on this day she sat in the back seat.
When she came this time, Zhang Qingdong felt that she was deliberately distancing herself from him.
The atmosphere in the car was too quiet. When the car arrived at the school gate, there was still half an hour before class started.
Zhang Qingdong followed Jiang Wan out of the car and reached out to pick up his things, but Jiang Wan took the lead and picked up his own things.
"Thank you for bringing me here. Please go away immediately. I won't invite you to sit inside."
Zhang Qingdong didn't respond, snatched the bag from her hand, and strode towards her dormitory.
It's not like he hadn't been to her dormitory in the summer before.
Jiang Wan didn't want him to go in, but seeing that he wasn't leaving, she had to reluctantly open the door.
There was no warmth in the room. The paper on the windows was soaked by the rain last night. The cold wind made people's backs feel cold.
The house was still as clean and tidy as it was in summer, but it was not warm at all.
Zhang Qingdong put down what he was holding and for some reason wanted to hug Jiang Wan.
He meant well, but he overlooked her persistent nature.
Jiang Wan said: "You should leave quickly. I need to get ready and go to class."
Zhang Qingdong said: "I'll come back in the afternoon."
He left these words, and his tall figure disappeared from Jiang Wan's sight.
Jiang Wan found a sweater and put it on. The cold wind blew in from the window and she looked worried.
Jiang Wan stood at the door, and the male teacher who lived next door came out and squatted at the door to brush his teeth.
The male teacher was Lin Xinbin. He tilted his head to glance at Jiang Wan, took a sip of water, and then spit out the water in his mouth after gurgling for a long time.
"Teacher Jiang, you are here. Is the gay man who brought you here your boyfriend?"
Jiang Wan blushed and said, "No."
Lin Yibin smiled and said, "I thought he was your boyfriend. He looks tall and mighty, and very energetic."
Your window was wet by the rain last night. I'm afraid it can't be used anymore.
How about this, after class at noon, I will help you paste some newspaper, and you can make do with it for now."
Jiang Wan's eyes lit up. Why didn't she think of this?
"Thank you for your kindness, but no, I can do it myself."
Jiang Wan's mood instantly improved. Seeing students coming one after another wearing straw hats and raincoats, she went into the room, took her books, locked the door and went to the classroom.
Zhang Qingdong parked his car on the side of the road. Thinking of the environment Jiang Wan lived in, he was so angry that he punched the steering wheel twice.
Why doesn't this girl understand my feelings?
He just didn't want her to stay here and suffer, but she did everything she had never done before and dared not do.
After smoking two cigarettes, Zhang Qingdong started the car and drove towards the troops.
Since she insisted on staying, he would first give her a good living environment.
Seeing that she had lost weight, he felt sadder than anyone else.
Above the school, amid the sound of rain, one can hear the children reading aloud.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Jiang Wan hurried to the dormitory, turned on the kerosene stove, and made half a bowl of paste.
She took down the window, tore off the damp and tattered white paper on it, and pasted newspapers on top one by one.
Jiang Wan was afraid of the cold, so he applied two more layers.
When Lin Yibin put up the windows, Jiang Wan realized that he had put up too many newspapers. Newspapers are not light-transparent, and the room became pitch black after putting up a few more layers.
It seems that white paper is needed.
Lin Yibin said: "The weather is getting colder and colder, and these layers of newspapers are useless."
Jiang Wan said: "Thank you, Teacher Lin. We'll just have to make do with this for now."
Jiang Wan cooked noodles for herself, and to thank Lin Yubin, she also cooked a bowl for him.
Just as they sat down to eat, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and Jiang Wan was startled.
Looking up, I saw Zhang Qingdong's tall figure standing at the door.
He blocked the light from the doorway, and the room became even darker.
Zhang Qingdong looked at Jiang Wan's small body squatting next to the chair, and for some reason he wanted to swear.
Zhang Qingdong came in and asked, "Why is this room so dark?"
Lin Yibin looked displeased: "Who are you? Why don't you knock on the door before entering someone's room? You have no manners at all."
When Zhang Qingdong saw Lin Yibin, his brows furrowed even more.
"I'm her fiancé, do you have any objection?"
Lin Yibin was surprised. He looked at Jiang Wan, then at Zhang Qingdong, and was speechless for a moment.
No, isn’t Teacher Jiang from the South? When did she get a fiancé?
Jiang Wan stood up slowly, with some dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Why are you here again?"
These words were like a knife stabbing Zhang Qingdong's heart.
"Why can't I come?"
Jiang Wan glanced at him, then squatted down and continued eating.
Jiang Wan said to Lin Yibin, "Teacher Lin, she is not my fiancé. He is the eldest brother of my distant relative. Don't pay attention to him. Just eat your noodles."
Lin Yubin couldn't squat or stand.
Zhang Qingdong turned aside and said, "I have something to say to my wife. Teacher Lin, please step aside for a moment."
Lin Yibin saw that Zhang Qingdong was as cold as frost in February and felt that this man was not easy to mess with, so he quickly slipped away with the bowl in his hand.
Zhang Qingdong slammed the door shut, and Jiang Wan shivered in fear.
The room was pitch black. Zhang Qingdong looked around and found that there was something wrong with the window. He removed the window with one hand.
Light from outside the window poured in. Zhang Qingdong said, "Pack your things and stay at my house at night. This school is not a place for people to live."
Jiang Wan paused holding the chopsticks.
"No, I'm not going anywhere. I'm just staying here."
Zhang Qingdong was furious when he heard this: "Why don't you just listen?"
