Ran Qiu was stunned for a moment, moved his mouth but said nothing, and put his textbooks together, then walked away quickly with the books in his arms.
Nie Jinmei's smile stopped abruptly, and she said in surprise.
"Teacher Ran won't be angry, right?"
Rong Zhengqing frowned, "Who knows? You don't know why Teacher Ran is so nice to us. Maybe he doesn't want us to make such a joke."
After all, he is still secretly in love with her. If Song Zhi finds out about their joke, Ran Qiu will be so embarrassed.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
After returning to the room, Ran Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to touch his slightly hot cheek.
Nie Jinmei's teasing made the joy that he had suppressed with great difficulty boil over again.
For the first time, he had a secret between them.
At this time, the door was quietly pushed open and San Ya poked her head in from outside.
Ran Qiu smiled instantly and waved to her.
"Come here, Sanya, where are the brothers?"
San Ya giggled and ran over to hug his thighs.
"Brother Qiu, the brothers are playing games. San Ya misses you."
She rubbed her little face against his legs and looked at Ran Qiu with full dependence.
"Brother Qiu, are you happy?"
San Ya suddenly felt that Brother Qiu was different today than before. Even when he shot a pheasant in the mountains, Brother Qiu had never been so happy.
Ran Qiu lowered his head, his black eyes sparkling as if filled with stars, and he raised his hand to touch San Ya's face.
"Yes, brother is very happy."
San Ya blinked her eyes and tilted her head curiously, "Brother Qiu, what are you so happy about?"
"You may have a younger brother or sister." Ran Qiu held San Ya on his lap and spoke in a low voice.
San Ya was stunned for a moment, then she smiled widely.
"Then I won't be the youngest anymore."
She is going to be someone else's sister too!
She is not worried that the arrival of a new brother or sister will take away Brother Qiu's love, because she will love the little brother or sister as much as Brother Qiu.
San Ya's eyes narrowed into crescents with joy.
Ran Qiu nodded and said, "Yes, you will be my sister from now on, but this is our secret and you can't tell anyone."
Sanya made a bitter face and put her finger to her lips, "Can't brothers tell me too?"
She also wanted to show off that she was finally not the youngest child anymore.
Ran Qiu touched her hair. The little girl was getting better and better. Her hair was black and shiny, and it felt soft in his hands.
"This is a secret that only the two of us know. When the younger brother or sister comes home, we'll give the older one a surprise."
"Okay!" San Ya nodded excitedly in agreement.

In the office, Tang Junhe had a stern face and listened to his soldiers' work reports expressionlessly.
He had a cold and hard face to begin with, and when he was in a bad mood, he looked like the King of Hell.
The soldier was extremely focused when reporting his work, speaking very quickly, fearing that he would be scolded by his boss if he was any slower.
"Captain Tang, I'm done..."
Tang Junhe lifted his eyelids indifferently, "Are you speaking so quickly because you're afraid I can hear you clearly? Take it back and rewrite it."
The soldier immediately dropped his head, but when the other party glared at him, he straightened his back and shouted, "Yes!"
"Go out." Tang Junhe waved his hand impatiently.
The soldier ran out like a gust of wind as if he had been pardoned, and the door was considerately closed for him.
There was no one around, and Tang Junhe let out a long sigh.
He has been in a bad mood recently.
The reason is simple: he has been rejected countless times by Song Zhi in the past half month.
Ever since he confirmed his feelings for her, Tang Junhe felt that time was not enough.
There was Yin Ran in front and Ran Qiu behind.
If he is not prepared, the girl he likes may be snatched away by someone else.
Tang Junhe pinched his brows, and when he thought of the rejections he had faced from her several times before, he felt angry.
He just wanted to find an opportunity to develop a better relationship with her, but Song Zhi seemed to treat him as a monster and was never willing to see him.
There were a few times when it was even worse, she would just hide away and ask a female colleague to come out to deal with her.
Tang Junhe frowned. Is this excuse no longer useful?
He went to visit her in the name of her father, but Song Zhi refused to accept the meat, candied fruits, snacks and the like he brought with him.
Not only that, the last time we met, she actually asked me not to look for her anymore, saying that she wanted to concentrate on preparing for the exam.
Tang Junhe was confused and couldn't sit still in the office, pacing back and forth constantly.
Did he offend her again?
Tang Junhe frowned, it's impossible.
He also helped her borrow high school textbooks, delivered the test papers to her personally, and helped her find a job in school that everyone envied. What else could she be dissatisfied with?
Tang Junhe stood in front of the window, his back tall and straight, but because he was in a bad mood, he felt inexplicably depressed.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." The man's voice was deep.
The soldier poked his head out and said, "Boss, it's time to get your salary. Do you want me to collect it for you or..."
Tang Junhe paused slightly, turned around slowly, and a thoughtful look appeared on his handsome face.
"Have you received your salary?"
He had forgotten that there was such a good reason that was useless.
"I'll get it myself, you go out."
He walked to the desk, took his ID, and left as fast as the wind...
An hour later, Tang Junhe appeared at Ran Qiu's door.
Today is the weekend, Song Zhi must be here studying with them.
He tried to push the door, but found it was locked from the inside.
Tang Junhe took a step back and shouted, "Is anyone home?"
Soon, he heard the sound of footsteps, and with a noise, the door was opened a crack.
Dabao peeked at him through the gap.
When Dabao saw that it was Tang Junhe standing outside, his face turned pale with fright. He didn't even bother to close the door, but turned around and ran away.
Tang Junhe's face darkened.
He thought he was not ugly enough to scare a child to tears, but what was wrong with this little guy? He was scared by him again and again.
No one stopped him and he walked into the yard easily.
Tang Junhe stopped and watched, his gaze falling on the main hall in the middle.
He strode over and heard a heated discussion inside. After hesitating, he knocked on the door, "Song Zhi, are you in there?"
The discussion came to an abrupt halt.
"Song Zhi, could it be Colonel Tang who's looking for you?" When Nie Jinmei heard the steady man's voice, her first reaction was to think of Tang Junhe.
Song Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly. Tang Junhe is here again?
Didn't I tell him not to come? Now he's actually come to Ran Qiu's house.
Song Zhi threw away the pen impatiently, "You guys continue discussing, I'm going to go out and send him away. Don't you know that people are studying? How annoying..."
Tang Junhe, who was outside the door and had excellent hearing, said: "..."
With a creak, the heavy wooden door opened from the inside.
