She wanted to make Zhou Chuyu angry.
But Zhou Chuyu wasn't angry at all. Instead, she treated her like a servant and made her wash all the cotton clothes in the closet! With so many clothes to wash, how could she have time to get along with Aunt Zhou or have a long chat with Brother Dai?
Qiao Shanshan was busy running to the Dai family's house, so she didn't know that Qiao Ru had gotten closer to the instructor these past few days.
Lu Jinwen borrowed a book from Qiao Ru last time, and returned it to her as soon as he finished reading it, afraid that she wouldn't be able to wait. Sometimes when Qiao Ru goes shopping, she rents astronomy novels that are not available in the library.
She would share these books with Lu Jinwen, and the two would have a long talk about their thoughts after reading them.
Lu Jinwen had never met a girl he got along with so well. This spiritual connection had nothing to do with appearance or family background.
He had no idea that Qiao Ru had so many admirable qualities.
In his eyes, Qiao Ru was becoming more and more outstanding, and more and more fascinating to him. Lu Jinwen was becoming more and more reluctant to part with her, and he would think of her every day when he returned to the dormitory.
The two had been going back and forth for several months, and Qiao Ru saw that her strategy was working. However, she and Lu Jinwen still hadn't made a move on the truth. To find out if Lu Jinwen really liked her, she would have to take a drastic step.
That day, Qiao Ru lent her reading notes to Lu Jinwen and couldn't help but say:
"Instructor, I can no longer discuss literature with you."
Lu Jinwen was taken aback. "Why?"
“After my brother passed away, I came to Beijing to handle his funeral arrangements. Thanks to the team’s care, my sister and I were able to stay in the team for a while. The team took care of us sisters and kept my sister working in the team. My major was not suitable, and there was no suitable position for me in the team, so I had to go back to my hometown.”
Lu Jinwen knew about the Qiao family's situation. Qiao Zheng's parents had passed away unexpectedly, and he had raised his two younger sisters on his own.
Now that Qiao Zheng is dead and has become a martyr, Qiao's younger sister is still young. The team didn't want to see them suffer, so they arranged a job for Qiao Shanshan. However, there aren't many vacant positions in the team. Not to mention outsiders like Qiao Ru, even military dependents can't find suitable jobs.
There was nowhere for Qiao Ru to stay in the team, so she had to go back to her hometown.
In the past, Lu Jinwen wouldn't have cared about such trivial matters; whether Qiao Ru left or not was none of his concern. But now, after spending time together, Lu Jinwen had come to regard Qiao Ru as his confidante. The thought that Qiao Ru would never come back after leaving caused Lu Jinwen a sharp pain in his heart.
