Chapter 1768: Chapter 1787: Southern Tall Tree (97)

One text every five minutes, about six in total.

Opened the first one, "Have you arrived?"

Qin Shaonan replied with "I’ve arrived," sent it, and opened the second one, "Why didn’t you reply to the text?"

He replied with "I just went to take a shower," and sent it out.

The phone rang again, he still looked at the third one, "I checked, it should only take four hours to get to Donggang from here, it’s been five hours now."

Qin Shaonan, "Something delayed me for a while."

...

The two of them kept texting back and forth.

The phone screen kept lighting up, suddenly a call came in, Qiao Qiao glanced at it, Zhao Xiaoman and the others were all asleep, she quietly slipped under the covers and pulled the edge of the quilt.

Seeing that it was well covered, she answered the phone in a very soft voice, "Hello."

Listening to her voice, Qin Shaonan naturally lay down on the bed with a touch of tenderness, "Hmm, have you slept?"

Qiao Qiao, "Not yet asleep."

Qin Shaonan, "I know."

Qiao Qiao, "..."

The previous words sounded kind of silly.

Oh no, not kind of silly, really silly!

Qin Shaonan, "Silent now?"

Qiao Qiao’s voice lowered even more, "Everyone’s asleep, I’m sleeping too, good night, see you in dreams."

Hearing those last three words, Qin Shaonan’s eyes softened, "How will we see?"

Qiao Qiao, "..."

Qin Shaonan didn’t press further, "Sleep earlier in the future, I wanted to call you when I got back, but it was too late."

Qiao Qiao, "Mm-hmm."

Listening to her faint breathing, Qin Shaonan felt his whole body tense, "Hang up now, good night."

Qiao Qiao hung up the phone, lay there holding the phone, thinking about being together during the day and now being apart, her heart felt a little uneasy.

For a long time, she finally fell into a drowsy sleep.

...

Upon waking up the next day, the formal classes began.

Qiao Qiao sat there, her mind drifting away.

Zhao Xiaoman gently nudged her shoulder, "Absent-minded, thinking of Instructor Qin?"

Qiao Qiao, "Keep it down."

She snapped back to attention, starting to listen carefully and take diligent notes.

...

A week later, she was informed to participate in special training to prepare for a live military drill in the Donggang Military District.

Upon receiving the notice, Qiao Qiao was happy for a long while.

Zhao Xiaoman hugged Qiao Qiao’s arm, "I want to go too."

Qiao Qiao looked at Zhao Xiaoman, "Dear, that’s not something I can decide."

Zhao Xiaoman, "I don’t care, I just want to hold onto your thigh."

Qiao Qiao, "But my legs aren’t thick."

Zhao Xiaoman looked down, glanced at Qiao Qiao’s legs, are they not thick? They’re too thin!

"A slimmer leg is better for holding on tightly."

Qiao Qiao, "..."

She looked at Zhao Xiaoman, realizing there wasn’t really anything she could say to argue back.

Zhao Xiaoman looked up at Qiao Qiao, "Are you going to the Army Hospital for special training tomorrow?"

Qiao Qiao nodded, gently hugged her, "I’ll miss you."

"So fake, you’re just eager to meet Instructor Qin, aren’t you?" Zhao Xiaoman huffed several times.

"Don’t always tell the truth, sometimes kind lies are quite nice."

Qiao Qiao looked at Zhao Xiaoman, smiling so beautifully.

Zhao Xiaoman looked at Qiao Qiao, "Bye-bye, it’s good you’re leaving, I can be the campus flower now, anyway, you have become more of a decoration, the whole school of male species knows you’re Instructor Qin’s girl, now they all stay respectfully away from you." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Qiao Qiao, "..."

Don’t mention it, but it’s true!

Suddenly, she realized why he announced it so abruptly, that was his intention, right?

Oh well, not angry, actually quite liked it, didn’t I?

Zhao Xiaoman, "Still, gotta thank Instructor Qin for giving us other flowers a whole forest."
