When the school term commenced, many students’ parents insisted that they want their daughters to stay in that dormitory of Qiao Nan.
Toward these parents, Principal Meng did not know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he stated that that dormitory belonged to class one. In other words, the female student had to be admitted to the top class before she had a chance to stay in that certain dormitory.
After entering the top class, whether she could stay in that certain dormitory would depend on her luck. School had just started. In order not to give the students too much pressure, the matriculation numbers of students were issued randomly instead of according to their grades.
It would depend on one’s luck as to whether they could stay in that particular dormitory.
Zhai Hua was the one who told Qiao Nan about this situation later on.
Putting this aside, Qiao Nan was aware that the relationship of the six dormitory mates was one of the purest. Otherwise, they would not have targeted and ostracized her together initially.
Qiao Nan expressed that she would most likely only encounter one friend like Shi Qing in her entire life. Of course, it was already very fortunate that she could meet one such friend.
Shi Qing was not shy about being praised. She said in a thick-skinned manner, “Isn’t that so? Brother Zhai and you could meet such a good sister like me. It is really the good fortune that you have accumulated over the past few lifetimes.”
“Has Zhu Baoguo sent you the materials and books that you asked for?” Sulking, Qiao Nan rolled her eyes at Shi Qing. Once Shi Qing was mischievous, all the touching feelings in Qiao Nan’s heart disappeared.
Shi Qing waved her fists. “Will he dare to not send them to me? I’ve already received the items. So, when I move tomorrow, I will have more items than when I did when school started. Many more items.”
Qiao Nan rubbed Shi Qing’s ‘puppy head’. “Don’t worry. There is no lack of coolies in the Feng family. You just have to ask a couple of them to come.”
Shi Qiao Nan slapped away Qiao Nan’s hands swiftly. “You really treat me as your sister. Scram. Of course, the coolies from the Feng family have to be here.”
Since the first day of school, the Feng family had already expressed that given Shi Qing’s family background, there was no need for her to squeeze with a few people in a small living space. Why should she shortchange herself?
The Feng family could immediately arrange accommodation for Shi Qing. Regarding the administrative matters and moving of the items, Shi Qing did not need to worry about it as well. The Feng family did have people to handle this.
If not for the sake of keeping Qiao Nan company, Shi Qing would be able to live in a place all by herself as long as she nodded in agreement.
In the end, Shi Qing was the one who persuaded the Feng family that she was not anxious about this matter. When formal classes commenced, she could stay outside. However, during military training, students were not allowed to leave the school. They could not contact anyone outside the school as well.
Since that was the case, it would not be too late to discuss further after the military training ended.
Shi Qing insisted on this and she sounded logical. As such, the Feng family did not continue voicing out their opinions. Instead, they respected Shi Qing’s decision and would talk about it again after the military training ended.
Of course, Shi Qing also mentioned Qiao Nan. She said that Qiao Nan would definitely follow her when the time came.
The Feng family found out later that Qiao Nan was not only Zhai Sheng’s fiancée but also the disciple that Lin Yuankang had taken a liking to.
Who in the Feng family did not know who Lin Yuankang was?
Many years ago, Old Master Shi insisted on bringing Shi Qing to see Lin Yuankang to let the latter accept her as a disciple. The Feng family even said that it was seldom that Old Master Shi would do something right as he was usually muddleheaded.
Unfortunately, this matter was not successful in the end.
Lin Yuankang was very famous for being strict when accepting disciple and he did not bother about the family background. He placed more emphasis on one’s character and talent.
The fact that Qiao Nan could become Lin Yuankang’s disciple meant there was no problem with her character and she was also smart enough. Of course, the fact that Qiao Nan became a student of Peking University was enough to prove that she certainly did not have a low IQ.
After knowing many glorious matters of Qiao Nan and confirming that Qiao Nan was not a lady who solely relied on the Zhai family to be successful, of course, the Feng family’s feelings of revulsion toward Qiao Nan were not as strong as before.
Even Old Master Feng opened his mouth to let Shi Qing bring Qiao Nan home for meals when they had the time. She was the best friend of his granddaughter. Of course, Old Master Feng had to interact more with Qiao Nan.
If she was truly a good one, as a grandfather, he could not ruin their relationship and let his granddaughter lose such a good friend. If she was a bad one, the more he could not let such a scheming woman stay by his granddaughter’s side and make use of the latter because she could backstab his granddaughter at any point in time.
Whether she was a good or bad one, he would only know after he came into contact with her.
Once Old Master Feng displayed such an attitude, regardless of what the rest of the Feng family thought, none of them objected to it. As such, the Feng family agreed to this request of Shi Qing immediately without any struggle.
In the past, Zhai Sheng spent so much effort to let Qiao Nan accept some translation work from Lin Yuankang. Although Lin Yuankang admired this translator very much, especially for her careful and meticulous nature, and had been asking Zhai Sheng about her identity, Zhai Sheng refused to tell him. This was because Zhai Sheng knew the time was not ripe then.
Zhai Sheng did this as he was very clear that if Qiao Nan could become Lin Yuankang’s disciple, it would be equivalent to her holding a black gold VIP card cum access pass that would allow her to access the whole of China, let alone Ping Cheng.
Regardless of what the Feng family heard from Qiu Chenxi, Qiu Chenxi’s words would become much less believable when they knew that Qiao Nan was Lin Yuankang’s disciple. This was regardless of how true she made them out to be and how she could talk about the living ones as though they were dead.
Old Master Feng’s attitude toward Qiao Nan had already eased a little. Now, with Lin Yuankang in the picture, it was needless to say.
It could be said that Qiao Nan had the chance to have a ‘meal’ at the Feng family because of Lin Yuankang, this master.
After knowing this, Qiao Nan did not know if she should feel angry or amused.
She really did not know that there were so many benefits to having such a master. However, in the end, Qiao Nan could only confirm that Zhai Sheng and not her master was the most brilliant one.
Many years later, when Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were lying on the bed after just finishing their vigorous exercise, with his eyes closed and a look of satisfaction on his face, Zhai Sheng hugged the sweaty and soft body of Qiao Nan as he reminisced about it.
Qiao Nan used her hands to lean on that hard and muscular chest of Zhai Sheng while she asked, “Brother Zhai, let me ask you. When you let me acknowledge my master many years ago, were you already hitting on me?”
Zhai Sheng concealed the shimmer in those sharp eyes of his. He did not look at Qiao Nan’s face. Instead, he was staring with a greenish look in his eyes at the voluptuous buns on Qiao Nan’s chest, which were visually enlarged with that earlier action of hers. In particular, those two little dots that were akin to tiny and delicious juicy fruits seemed to be giving out a mature fragrance. He then exuded an aura of evilness. “Nan Nan is so smart. Does it mean that we have telepathy?”
Qiao Nan shot Zhai Sheng a look. “How old was I then? I was just a junior high school student. You don’t have any shame… Old ruffian soldier! Do you deserve that soldier uniform of yours?!”
“In this family, I am not a soldier. I am your man. Nan Nan, you’re in such good spirits. Let’s do something that makes people happy again, in case you can’t fall asleep and still have the energy to let your thoughts run wild. It seems like I have been too restrained. With the right exercises, I can let you sleep better later.”
