Chapter 1796: Chapter 124: Southern Tall Trees

Qin Shaonan, "Then you guys play cards."

Qiao Qiao, "..."

She didn’t say anything, sitting there quietly without speaking, but secretly checked the calendar on her phone and found out it was actually the fifteenth of the lunar month, perfect for moon-gazing.

Qin Shaonan looked at Qiao Qiao, "Let’s go."

Qiao Qiao, "Okay."

Qin Shaonan took Qiao Qiao’s hand and walked out the door.

Shen You and Yu Zimu stared at the big hand holding Qiao Qiao as if they’d seen a ghost, thinking it was only used for holding guns and fighting!

For a while, Shen You turned to Qin Shaojin, "Really didn’t expect that Brother Nan is a man of passion."

Qin Shaojin could only nod, not knowing what to say, "Really play cards?"

Yu Zimu, "No way, three guys playing cards is boring, let’s go out and barbecue and drink, this is a tourist area, there should be places by the river."

The host of the house heard this and looked at them, "There aren’t many tourists in our village, so there’s nothing by the river right now. But if you really want to eat, I know that place, I can call them."

Shen You looked at the Family Head, "Thanks, buddy."

...

An hour later, the three set off and arrived by the river, where a boat had appeared.

As soon as they got on the boat, they smelled the rich aroma of barbecue.

The three drank beer, ate barbecue, and played cards.

———— Fairy Peak ————

Qin Shaonan drove the car up the mountain until he couldn’t go any further, then stopped, got out from the driver’s seat, took two military coats from the trunk, walked to the passenger side, looked at Qiao Qiao, and draped one over her.

Qiao Qiao tightened the military coat, looked down and saw it reached her ankles and was very wide—obviously his!

Qin Shaonan also wore one and held her hand as they climbed the steps.

Half an hour later, they reached the top, and upon looking up they could see the moon—very round, very close, and even the surrounding stars seemed near.

Qiao Qiao looked at Qin Shaonan and said playfully, "Feels like you could reach out and grab the stars."

Qin Shaonan, "Mm."

Qiao Qiao jumped up, reaching out, but couldn’t touch them.

Qin Shaonan stood to the side, lit a cigarette, and watched her.

Qiao Qiao ran over, "Hold me."

Qin Shaonan held a cigarette in one hand and embraced Qiao Qiao with the other, looking up at the moon.

The two embraced, kissed, and gazed at the moon atop the mountain until they returned to their lodging at eleven, not seeing Qin Shaojin and the others.

———— Yunqi Academy ————

When Qin Shaojin and the others returned, it was already past midnight.

Yu Zimu hushed, and the three stood outside Qin Shaonan and Qiao Qiao’s door, quietly listening.

Inside was quiet, not a sound—maybe they hadn’t come back yet?

Yu Zimu looked at Qin Shaojin, "Watching the moon for such a long time?"

Qin Shaojin kicked Yu Zimu into Qiao Qiao and Qin Shaonan’s room, "Perfect timing, it’s your room, Shen You and I will sleep on the other side."

Yu Zimu stumbled into the room, landing heavily.

A moment later, he felt a chilling presence, looked up, and saw Brother Nan’s face.

"Na... Nan, you’re back from moon-gazing?"

Qin Shaonan held Qiao Qiao under the blankets, looked at Yu Zimu, "Waiting for me to invite you out?"

Yu Zimu came to his senses, "No need, Brother Nan, I’ve long legs of my own!"

As soon as the words fell, he quickly exited the room, closed the door, heart racing, pushed open the door next door, glanced at Shen You and Qin Shaojin lying across the bed, and directly climbed up, forcing himself to lie in the middle of them.
