Zhang Junshan and Fu Yanci walked towards the direction of the military building. Along the way, Zhang Junshan seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were wandering, and his steps were a little slow.
Fu Yanci keenly noticed Zhang Junshan's strangeness, broke the silence, and asked with concern: "Chief of Staff Zhang, is there something on your mind?"
Zhang Junshan came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "It's okay."
Fu Yanci looked at him meaningfully, sighed softly, and said nothing more.
When they arrived at the army, Lu Xiangdong urgently summoned them and they hurried to a meeting.
At the same time, Zhang Nuan and Qiu Jingjing also returned home.
Qiu Jingjing couldn't stop thinking about Zhang Junshan. After getting out of the car, she couldn't help but hold Zhang Nuan's hand and said, "Nuannuan, are we best friends?"
Zhang Nuan looked puzzled and replied with a smile: "Of course, what's wrong, Jingjing?"
Qiu Jingjing bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Nuannuan, I found that I really like my brother. Can you help me..."
Zhang Nuan was embarrassed when she heard this, and said helplessly: "Jingjing, I really can't make the decision about my brother's affairs..."
Qiu Jingjing's eyes were red, and she cried, "Nuannuan, your brother loves you so much, please help me. If you tell him, he will definitely take it to heart."
Zhang Nuan sighed and said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but my brother...my brother won't listen to me. I'm afraid that if I meddle in other people's business, my brother will even hate me..."
Zhang Nuan's voice became smaller and smaller, and Qiu Jingjing felt very uncomfortable listening to it.
The two of them were standing outside the door talking, unaware that there was a figure standing behind them for a long time.
Qiu Jingjing was still pestering Zhang Nuan. Zhang Nuan looked embarrassed and didn't know how to refuse.
Just then, the person behind them coughed softly, which scared Zhang Nuan and Qiu Jingjing.
When they looked back, Qiu Jingjing felt guilty for no reason and stammered, "Ah... Hello, Auntie."
Zhang Nuan also whispered: "Mom..."
Dong Zhiqiu glanced at Qiu Jingjing silently, then ordered the people behind him: "Send Jingjing home."
After saying that, he quickly walked to Zhang Nuan, held her hand, and led her into the house.
As he walked, he said, "Come in with me. I have something to tell you."
Zhang Nuan hurriedly followed Dong Zhiqiu's pace. Qiu Jingjing stood where she was, looking at their backs, biting her lower lip tightly, her eyes full of unwillingness.
The person behind him reminded: "Comrade Qiu, let me take you back."
Qiu Jingjing frowned and followed the man silently.
As soon as he entered the living room, Dong Zhiqiu skillfully took off his coat and hat, and Wang Ma hurried forward to take them and hang them up.
Dong Zhiqiu sat elegantly on the sofa, looking at Zhang Nuan quietly, and said, "Nuannuan, mom has reminded you that you are already sixteen years old and should have your own independent thinking ability. You can't just be led by others like this."
Zhang Nuan lowered her head and whispered, "Mom, I didn't..."
Dong Zhiqiu took a sip of tea and said calmly, "I stood behind you for a full twenty minutes."
Zhang Nuan looked up in surprise and said unhappily, "Mom, why are you still eavesdropping on our conversation..."
Dong Zhiqiu glanced at her and said helplessly, "Do you think I want to hear it? If I hadn't heard that Qiu Jingjing was interested in your brother, I would have spoken up a long time ago."
"I also investigated the last time you went to the train station to pick up your brother. Afterwards, I reminded you that you can make friends, but you must be cautious when making close friends."
Dong Zhiqiu continued, "You were lucky that time. You met your brother and his colleagues who came to pick him up. What if you didn't meet them? Wouldn't you have suffered a loss? Losing money is a small matter, but what if you lost your life or your innocence? Have you thought about the consequences?"
Zhang Nuan stood aside, holding the hem of her clothes with both hands, like a child who had done something wrong, with her head lowered and not saying a word.
Dong Zhiqiu waved at her: "Come here and sit next to me."
Zhang Nuan then walked over, sat down next to Dong Zhiqiu, snuggled in Dong Zhiqiu's arms, and said aggrievedly: "Mom, I know I was wrong."
Dong Zhiqiu sighed and continued, "Mom is not restricting you from making friends, but I hope you can have the ability to judge people and think independently."
"Take the case of Qiu Jingjing falling for your brother this time, Nuannuan, what kind of girl from a good family would be so eager to date someone when she meets him for the first time and knows nothing about him?"
