1131 Qiao Nan’s Spring

As the only elder present on the occasion, Miao Jing took the seat of the host.

Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were husband and wife. Of course, they had to sit together. As such, Zhai Hua had no choice but to sit opposite them. The amazing thing was that Tian Dong took the seat beside Zhai Hua on his own accord.

At this sight, outsiders who did not know the situation would believe that Miao Jing was very blessed. On Saturdays, both daughter and son-in-law came to dine with and keep Miao Jing company.

The straightforward Zhai Hua gave Tian Dong an unhappy glare when she saw him sitting a tad too close to her. “You’re so big and I’m not petite either. Move your chair away a little. Otherwise, I’m afraid that I will knock onto your arms when I take dishes with my chopsticks later. That won’t be good.”

After hearing Zhai Hua’s words, Tian Dong did not move away. Instead, to everyone’s surprise, he picked up some food with his chopsticks for Zhai Hua. “I will help you take the dishes. You won’t knock into me then. It’s too cumbersome to move the chair. Auntie Miao, don’t you agree?”

“Ah?” Miao Jing, whose name had suddenly been mentioned, was stunned. She went along with Tian Dong. “This will depend on what you think. If you feel that it is troublesome, it is. If you feel that it is not troublesome, it is not then.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Besides Tian Dong and Miao Jing, who were conversing, there was only silence from the remaining three people present.

Zhai Hua nearly spat out her rice. Her mother was tongue-twisting. Wasn’t it just moving a chair? She made it sound so complicated as if she was attempting an Olympics question.

“Auntie is right.” Seemingly oblivious to the awkward reactions of the Zhai Sheng trio, Tian Dong even curried favor with Miao Jing. He then continued to fill Zhai Hua’s bowl with dishes. “You have a huge appetite. Eat more.”

Tian Dong took food for Zhai Hua twice. Honestly, this action was a little too intimate.

Undoubtedly, Tian Dong did this to convey one thing to the Zhai family: He liked Zhai Hua. He wanted not only to woo Zhai Hua but also to marry her. He was serious. Today, he was formally informing the Zhai family about this.

At the same time, he also hoped that the Zhai family could stop organizing matchmaking sessions for Zhai Hua.

That was right. Tian Dong behaved in this way today because he heard that Zhai Hua had wanted to go on blind dates and the Zhai family had agreed. They even deliberately spread this news so that relatives and friends could help look out for Zhai Hua.

Tian Dong had never paid heed to Wei De. However, if someone were to really introduce people to Zhai Hua, those men who were going to attend the blind dates might be comparable to him.

Wei De was an accident. Although he was a thing of the past, regardless of how smart Tian Dong was, he had no choice but to utilize some tactic when facing the straightforward Zhai Hua, which was to declare himself as the owner!

Qiao Nan nudged Zhai Sheng with her arms. What was happening between Sister Zhai Hua and Tian Dong?

She had thought that the two were just childhood friends who had not seen each other for more than twenty years. Although Brother Zhai had mentioned their anecdote when they were children, they were still very young at that time. That was just a joke and no one would take a child’s babble for real.

However, at the sight of Tian Dong’s behavior today, Qiao Nan felt that although others did not take it for real, it did not mean that the two parties concerned did not take it to heart completely.

At the very least, she felt that Tian Dong was quite serious.

Tian Dong was a man of few words but his actions said otherwise.

Obviously, the feelings that he had for Sister Zhai Hua did not happen in just one or two days.

Zhai Sheng pinched Qiao Nan’s hands, hinting to her not to mess around at this juncture and affect his assessment.

As she did not receive an answer from Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan pursed her lips unhappily. After the meal, she informed the family that she had another commitment and left the house thereafter.

Although today was a good day as she was married officially, she had not forgotten that she had to complete her social practice.

After six months of perseverance, Qiao Nan’s standard of English had gradually improved due to constant interaction with overseas tourists.

Qiao Nan learned not only the accent of American English but also that of British English.

Perhaps Qiao Nan was quite gifted in this area. Under her perseverance and diligence, she had improved tremendously. As a result, when she received the tourists this year, they would always praise Qiao Nan and ask her if she had ever studied or lived abroad for a few years.

As she gained experience in interacting with the tourists, Qiao Nan improved the standard of her speech. She was also able to freely communicate with foreigners without feeling awkward.

After attaining such distinct results and the school-based first-prize scholarship, Qiao Nan’s interest in social practice grew. Her enthusiasm had also swelled tremendously.

Under the influence of a positive cycle, the result was Qiao Nan’s graceful attitude, good looks, sweet voice, and awesome English.

In short, Qiao Nan was getting the hang of this social practice. She was very young but she was adapting in the department like a duck to water, and she received much affirmation and help from many seniors and leaders.

The classmates in the same cohort of Qiao Nan all felt that Qiao Nan’s academic performance was good. She was also a famous figure in the school. However, in terms of interpersonal relationships, they felt that Qiao Nan was quite pitiful because everyone ignored her, and vice versa. Regardless of how glorious she was now, it would cease to exist eventually.

When Qiao Nan could not endure it further, she might develop an illness or depression under such circumstances. No one could tell for sure.

The top students of famous schools becoming a lunatic eventually—this kind of news was not inexistent.

Qiao Nan was in a lot of limelight now, but perhaps the next person being reported in the news would be Qiao Nan.

These people believed that besides studies, Qiao Nan was definitely lacking in other spiritual aspects, that she actually felt extremely lonely at heart.

Never would they have imagined that Qiao Nan did not suffer from any depression. On the contrary, Qiao Nan was extremely happy. She felt that her current life was more wonderful than ever. She was much happier.

It was as if she had survived the winter in her life, and after much difficulty, welcomed the bright and beautiful sun in spring. Flowers were blossoming continuously, and there was so much beauty that one could not take them all in!

As such, although today was the big day of her marriage, Qiao Nan did not give up her remaining half day of social practice. She diligently reported for work.

Each time Zhai Sheng faced the Qiao Nan who was busier than him, he felt quite helpless.

The military wife of his family was indeed different from that of others.

“Zhai Hua, recently, I received a piece of the latest information. I have placed it in the study room. You can read it yourself.” Qiao Nan went for her social practice. Besides Qiao Nan, no one else had left.

Zhai Sheng, who had just completed his mission, did not need to do anything. What he needed most now was to have a good sleep to replenish his energy.

However, when he saw Tian Dong and the latter’s actions at the dining table, Zhai Sheng had to perk up to deal with Tian Dong, lest another family’s wolf take Zhai Hua away when he was not paying attention.
