Dong Zhiqiu looked gentle and patiently explained to Zhang Nuan: "Your brother is handsome, it's normal for you to like him, but her purpose is not pure, she has been urging you to help her do something in front of your brother."
"Nuan Nuan, this isn't how you truly like someone. She's too eager, and her purpose is too obvious. You don't want your brother to be with someone who comes with a purpose like this, right?"
"She's attracted to your brother's status. There are many good-looking classmates around you, but most of them come from poor families. Have you ever seen her fall in love with anyone?"
Dong Zhiqiu looked at Zhang Nuan and said earnestly, "Nuan Nuan, she is very smart and knows what she wants, but she is restless and doesn't fight for it through her own efforts. She just tries to be clever."
"Your brother wouldn't like such a lesbian, and our Zhang family wouldn't want such a person as a daughter-in-law."
After listening to her mother's words, Zhang Nuan raised her head, her eyes full of confusion: "Mom, I understand what you mean, but what should I do? I'm afraid Jingjing will be angry with me because of this."
Dong Zhiqiu gently touched Zhang Nuan's head and said, "You need to make it clear to Jingjing. You can show that you understand her love for your brother, but you can't force it. And you need to let her know that feelings require time and understanding, and can't be blindly brought together by others."
Zhang Nuan nodded and whispered, "Okay, I'll go talk to Jingjing tomorrow."
At this time, Dong Zhiqiu changed the subject: "Nuannuan, you are not young anymore. When you meet a boy you like in the future, you must have your own judgment. What kind of boy do you think is good?"
Zhang Nuan tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "I think people like my brother who are upright and responsible are great! They are in the army to defend their country and make contributions to the country, which is so impressive."
Dong Zhiqiu smiled and said, "That's one aspect, but you also have to look at his character, personality and sense of responsibility. If a person only has ability but no good character, it is difficult for him to become a good partner. Just like your brother, his character and sense of responsibility are important factors that attract others to him."
Zhang Nuan nodded, not quite understanding: "Mom, I understand, but I haven't thought about what kind of boyfriend I want to find in the future."
Dong Zhiqiu looked at Zhang Nuan and said seriously, "At your age now, you don't have to worry about these things, but mom hopes that you can find someone who truly loves and respects you in the future, who can grow up with you and face the difficulties in life together."
Zhang Nuan smiled and said, "Mom, I will work hard! I also hope to find someone as good as Dad."
Dong Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Your father is indeed a very good person. He is very responsible for his family and work. When you look for a boyfriend in the future, you can also look at his good qualities."
After a while, Zhang Nuan thought of Qiu Jingjing again and couldn't help asking, "Mom, do you think Jingjing is really like what you said? I always think she's pretty good."
Dong Zhiqiu sighed softly: "Mom is not completely denying her, but her behavior is a little too utilitarian. She approaches you, maybe more to achieve her own goals through you. You have to learn to distinguish and not be confused by superficial things."
Zhang Nuan frowned and said, "But I still feel sorry for her. Her family is not well off and her life is not easy. I am willing to help her more."
Dong Zhiqiu looked at Zhang Nuan and said earnestly, "She may be pitiful, but pity cannot be a reason for her to do immoral things. You can help her, but you can't let her use you."
Zhang Nuan nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I will take care of this matter."
The next day, before Zhang Nuan had time to look for Qiu Jingjing, Qiu Jingjing came to Zhang Nuan's house early in the morning.
When Qiu Jingjing saw Zhang Nuan, a hint of anticipation and panic flashed in her eyes.
She hurried forward and eagerly apologized to Zhang Nuan: "Nuan Nuan, I'm sorry, I was too anxious yesterday."
After a pause, she quickly looked around but did not see Dong Zhiqiu.
Then he asked in a low voice: "Nuannuan, didn't Auntie say anything about you yesterday?"
Zhang Nuan pulled Qiu Jingjing to sit aside, then mustered up the courage to say, "Jingjing, I thought about it all night yesterday, and I don't think I can help you say anything to my brother."
"I know you like my brother, but feelings need to develop slowly. You can't be so impatient. I can't interfere with my brother's feelings."
Qiu Jingjing listened and looked a little unhappy: "Nuannuan, do you not consider me a friend anymore? Or did Auntie say something to you yesterday? Did she not let you help me?"
