Qiao Nan tucked her chin and lowered her face. She tried to control the corners of her lips that curled upward. She finally understood what was going on.

However, when there was a chance next time, she would definitely ask Brother Zhai the details. There was no way that she would be dismissed by his brief explanation.

Zhai Sheng was not at the Zhai family’s residence. He must have rushed back from the army to send s.h.i.+ Qing to the school. Qiao Nan wanted to know what help did Father s.h.i.+ rendered that Zhai Sheng would go to great lengths to return the favor.

s.h.i.+ Qing was not stupid. Initially, she had thought that Zhai Sheng cared for her, but when Zhai Sheng mentioned that her father was in the hospital, she knew that Zhai Sheng did not care for her. He was just explaining to Qiao Nan.

s.h.i.+ Qing, who realized the truth, gritted her teeth. Qiao Nan, who heard it, looked toward Zhai Sheng. Why would the transfer student have such a huge reaction? Was there something that she did not know of?

Besides, it seemed that Qiao Nan was the reason why she transferred schools. But what was the reason?

Zhai Sheng lifted the corners of his lips. He was reluctant to answer Nan Nan’s question.

Qiao Nan ma.s.saged her temple. It seemed that besides Qiu Chenxi who had yet to give up, the transfer student was also interested in Brother Zhai. Next time, she must ask him how many ‘close sisters’ he had.

The transfer student looked quite bright. Given the way Brother Zhai explained to her, she must have known about Brother Zhai’s relations.h.i.+p with her.

Zhai Sheng tapped his finger lightly on Qiao Nan’s desk, telling her not to worry. Even though s.h.i.+ Qing knew about their relations.h.i.+p, it would not be a problem for them.

Be a.s.sured?

Qiao Nan could not help but worry. She even suffered from gastric pain now.

If the transfer student told Auntie Miao about their relations.h.i.+p, all her efforts of keeping it from Auntie Miao would go down the drain.

Qiao Nan scratched her scalp. Forget it. She could only take one step at a time. With the final term exam in a few weeks’ time, she had no time to worry about all those messy affairs like the transfer student or Chen Jun.

After sending s.h.i.+ Qing to Ping Cheng High School, Zhai Sheng left straightaway.

Qiao Nan told herself that she should focus on her studies and set the matter of s.h.i.+ Qing aside for now. She could only be pa.s.sive and react to whatever she had up her sleeves.

However, it was weird that after Zhai Sheng left, s.h.i.+ Qing changed her att.i.tude toward Qiao Nan. She acted as if she was not interested in her and treated her just like any other cla.s.smates. She greeted her normally. She was neither like Qiu Chenxi, who showed her displeasure to her openly, and nor was she like Xu Tingting, who disregarded her completely. Qiao Nan was perplexed by her att.i.tude.

“What’s wrong with you?” There was only one week left before the final term exam. After lunch, Qiao Nan returned to the cla.s.sroom to work on the last question. Zhu Baoguo, who returned to the cla.s.sroom, looked miserable. His clothes were disheveled and there were a few strands of leaves in his hair.

Zhu Baoguo, who was grimacing in agony, pretended to be perfectly fine upon seeing Qiao Nan. “Nothing. There’s nothing wrong with me at all.”

“Nothing? What’s wrong with your pants? Why is there dust on your pants?” Qiao Nan looked at Zhu Baoguo’s pants.
