“Brother Zhou, have some water.”

“Thanks.” The cup of water that was served to him was warm, neither too hot nor too cold. It was just right for Zhou Jun to drink it as soon as he took it.

Sensing Qiao Nan’s meticulous and caring manners, Zhou Jun’s adrenaline rushed. The way he was holding the cup was as if he was holding one with wine. He drank the water all at once. “Nan Nan, I have something to tell you.”

Nan Nan was so meticulous to him. Did that mean Nan Nan also liked him?!

“Okay… I can tell.” Qiao Nan hesitated for a while. “Brother Zhou, what do you wish to tell me?”

“Nan Nan, I like you.”

“Ah?” Qiao Nan’s jaws dropped and she shook her head a few times. “Sorry, Brother Zhou. Recently, I’ve been busy with my studies. My hearing is not so good and can’t hear you that well.”

“Nan Nan, I like you. Be my girlfriend. After you graduate from senior high school and attend college, we’ll get married!” Zhou Jun mustered his courage and finished what he wanted to say all at once.

Qiao Nan patted her face which was frozen stiff and then looked at Zhou Jun helplessly. “Why do all of you soldiers confess your love in such a way? Don’t tell me there’s a special consultation cla.s.s in the army for this? Whatever you all say are the same. There’s only one way to say and do it?”

What Brother Zhou said was exactly the same as what Brother Zhai said!

“Ah?” Zhou Jun was stunned and could not react in time. He also did not realize the deeper meaning in Qiao Nan’s words.

“Brother Zhou, are you serious?” Qiao Nan took a deep breath. “If you’re saying this out of impulse as you’ve been dealt with some blows, I won’t take it to heart. If you’re serious, Brother Zhou… I’m sorry. I can’t accept your love for me.”

Zhou Jun had not come to his senses. After hearing Qiao Nan’s earlier words that carried a deeper meaning in them, and subsequently her rejection, Zhou Jun lost his ability to think. “Why? You… you don’t like me? Or is there anything that I’m not good enough which requires me to change? Tell me. I’ll change.”

Qiao Nan shook her head. “It doesn’t have anything to do with these. Brother Zhou, I treat you like my elder brother. Most importantly, I have someone that I like. I already have a boyfriend.”

Zhou Jun’s back stiffened and he looked a little sullen. “Nan Nan, you should know. Guys of your age are immature. To them, being in a relations.h.i.+p is akin to making a meal order. They’re very casual and irresponsible.”

“Brother Zhou, you’re worried that my boyfriend will desert me and break up with me?” There was a flash in Qiao Nan’s eyes. “Regarding this, you can rest a.s.sured, Brother Zhou. He wishes to marry me. First, I’ve not reached the suitable age. Second, I’m still young and wish to focus on learning and studies. Hence, I declined his proposal. I requested to date first before getting married. When I am of legal age, we’ll talk about marriage then. He’s not just toying with me. There won’t be such a day. He’s truly good to me. I’ve agreed to a relations.h.i.+p with him and am devoted to him wholeheartedly.”

“You’re certain?” Zhou Jun was utterly disappointed, feeling that he had not acted swift enough. He didn’t expect that another man was quicker in action and he was, in fact, many steps behind. “You won’t regret it? You’re sure that that man is suitable for you and will be responsible for what he said?”

“Brother Zhou, I’m absolutely certain. He will be responsible for what he said. I will also bear all the consequences of my choice. As for whether we’re suitable for each other, it’s hard to predict what will happen in the future. But now, I feel that he’s the most suitable person for me.” Qiao Nan did not like to beat about the bush. Since she was already in a relations.h.i.+p with Brother Zhai, she would definitely not give others ambiguous hopes and find herself a ‘spare tire’.
