Zhang Nuan shook her head gently, and said sincerely and seriously: "Jingjing, I'm telling you this because I regard you as a true friend."
She paused slightly, looking into the distance, as if weighing her words: "My brother has his own ideas. As his sister, I really shouldn't interfere with his feelings..."
Qiu Jingjing frowned, a hint of anger flashed across her eyes, and she interrupted Zhang Nuan directly.
Her voice was a little anxious: "You don't understand me at all, Nuannuan! I really like your brother and I really don't want to miss him."
Zhang Nuan frowned slightly, with a serious look on her face, and looked at Qiu Jingjing and said seriously: "Jingjing, love is a matter of mutual consent, not of putting pressure on each other."
"You're so anxious, it will only disgust my brother. If you really like him, take your time and get to know him slowly."
Qiu Jingjing was silent for a while, a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she wondered in her heart that Dong Zhiqiu must have said something to Zhang Nuan after she left yesterday.
Otherwise, why would she, a naive girl who usually obeys me, suddenly say something like this?
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, thinking that she couldn't break up with Zhang Nuan yet.
Qiu Jingjing's eyes turned red and tears immediately burst out. She looked at Zhang Nuan pitifully and said in a crying voice: "Nuannuan, what you said makes sense, but I really like him too much, I'm afraid of missing him..."
"You know, my family is not well off, and I've always wanted to find a good home. The moment I saw your brother, I decided on him. I'm sorry, I was too impatient."
Zhang Nuan felt a little reluctant, so she gently held Qiu Jingjing's hand and said earnestly, "Jingjing, I understand how you feel, but you can't put all your hopes on my brother!"
"You can work hard on your own to make yourself better, and then my brother will naturally notice such an outstanding person like you."
Qiu Jingjing wiped her tears, nodded slightly, and said softly: "Nuannuan, I understand, thank you."
The week passed quickly.
On this weekend, Zhang Junshan invited Fu Yanci, Su Wantang and Liang Junwen to come to Zhang's house together.
He originally planned to invite everyone out for a meal, but Dong Zhiqiu knew that he was going home, so he asked the servants at home to prepare various ingredients in advance and cook for them at home.
Zhang Junshan knew Wang Ma’s cooking skills, so he invited everyone to his home for dinner.
Everyone was chatting happily in the living room when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Nuan thought it was her father Zhang Lianqing who had returned, so she quickly got up and went to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Qiu Jingjing was seen standing outside the door. She leaned her head slightly and looked into the room eagerly.
Then he asked in a low voice: "Nuannuan, is your brother back today? Can I...can I come to your house and have dinner with him?"
Zhang Nuan couldn't help feeling complicated when she saw Qiu Jingjing coming uninvited. Thinking of what Dong Zhiqiu had said to her, she suddenly felt mixed emotions.
But since they were already at my doorstep, I felt embarrassed to refuse.
Zhang Nuan forced a smile and said, "Come in."
As soon as Qiu Jingjing entered the room, she saw Zhang Junshan and several others sitting on the sofa chatting. Her eyes lit up and she naturally walked over and sat down next to Zhang Junshan.
With a flattering smile on her face, she said, "Jun...Comrade Zhang, long time no see."
Zhang Junshan nodded politely, then waved to Zhang Nuan and said, "Nuannuan, come here, sit here with your friends. I'll go see if Aunt Dong needs help in the kitchen."
Qiu Jingjing didn't expect that Zhang Junshan would leave with an excuse as soon as she approached him, and she felt a sense of loss.
Seeing Zhang Nuan coming over, Qiu Jingjing tugged at Zhang Nuan's sleeve again, her eyes reddened, and she said pitifully, "Nuan Nuan, your brother seems to be avoiding me. Does he...does he hate me very much?"
Zhang Nuan frowned, thinking about what she had said to Qiu Jingjing a few days ago. She probably didn't listen at all.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to Zhang’s house again today.
Zhang Nuan felt a little helpless. She hoped Qiu Jingjing could slowly get to know Zhang Junshan, because she knew her brother's character and he never liked others to approach him actively.
But if it is someone he likes, he will naturally take the initiative to approach.
But Qiu Jingjing didn't understand this and kept moving closer to Zhang Junshan eagerly.
Many lesbians had liked Zhang Junshan, but they were all rejected by him.
Qiu Jingjing's eagerness for success will only backfire and make Zhang Junshan even more disgusted.
Zhang Nuan sighed and decided to harden her heart and make Qiu Jingjing face the reality as soon as possible, otherwise she would get deeper and deeper into trouble, which would be bad for both her and Zhang Junshan.
Seeing Zhang Nuan staring at her without saying anything, Qiu Jingjing became more and more anxious and asked in a crying voice, "Nuan Nuan, does your brother...does he really hate me?"
Zhang Nuan thought about it seriously and responded firmly: "My brother doesn't hate you, but he really doesn't like you either."
