Chapter 595 - There Is No News (2/2)

Qiao Nan held her forehead and smiled wryly. “Who asked me to choose Brother Zhai.”

“Alright, cheer up.” s.h.i.+ Qing patted Qiao Nan’s shoulders. “Cheer up. This is not the first day that Brother Zhai became a soldier. He joined the army when he was eighteen years old. Counting from that, he already has seven years of experience. He has also carried out this type of dangerous missions in the past before. Didn’t he do well until today and even a.s.sumed the role of a regiment commander? Nothing will happen. Don’t scare yourself.”

Qiao Nan took a deep breath. “I’ll try hard not to.”

“If you’re really worried, I’ll accompany you for a jog. When you perspire and feel tired after running, you won’t feel anything,” s.h.i.+ Qing said like a loyal friend.

Qiao Nan sat up. “I decline. I’m not Zhu Baoguo and you. I’m not enthusiastic about this kind of training. Alright, I feel much better now after letting it out. As my dad doesn’t agree to it, when I encountered any matter pertaining to Brother Zhai in the past, I had no one to talk to. Fortunately, now, I’m not always the tree hole. It’s better to take turns as a tree hole.”

s.h.i.+ Qing finally had some practical use by staying at her house.

“Tree, tree hole?” s.h.i.+ Qing sat beside Qiao Nan. “I always heard you mention a tree hole. What does ‘tree hole’ mean? It’s definitely not as simple as its name, is it?”

“It’s almost the same meaning,” Qiao Nan said, feeling exhausted at heart. “When my dad comes back, you know what to do.”

“I know.” Not to bring up Brother Zhai in front of Uncle Qiao. She was aware of this. “Qiao Nan, do you have anything else to tell me?”

“What else should I tell you?” She did not wish to and did not feel like saying anything now.

“Will you regret being together with Brother Zhai because of this matter? Will Brother Zhai have to face the situation of losing his girlfriend when he comes back?” s.h.i.+ Qing tested and asked the question. It was not that she had not seen such examples before.

Qiao Nan held her head as she turned her body and looked at s.h.i.+ Qing. “If I say yes, then what will you do?”

“What will I do?” s.h.i.+ Qing jumped. “I’ll die a horrible death!!!”

“Hahaha.” Qiao Nan laughed. This was because she could completely imagine it. “Do you know what question Brother Zhai most often asked me about after I’m together with him is?”

“I don’t know.”

“He often asked me if I regretted it.” Regretted being with him, and that she had to endure a different kind of stress despite being so young.

“Brother Zhai also asked this question before, and he did so very often? Didn’t it mean that Brother Zhai was quite lacking in confidence before you?” s.h.i.+ Qing was truly taken aback this time.

Qiao Nan rubbed her face. “Yes, Brother Zhai, who has so many good qualities, is actually not confident in front of me. He’s not confident because he cares. I’m a little too young but Brother Zhai and you seem to think that I have no ability to handle stress at all. Like what you said, if I’m together with Brother Zhai, we will see the light at the end of the tunnel sooner or later. There are so many wives of the soldiers who won’t.”

In comparison, she was very fortunate.

“Don’t talk about this anymore. Brother Zhai is so capable. He will definitely complete his mission successfully and come back safely. The two of us are being paranoid. Women can’t have too much spare time. We will think astray when we do.” s.h.i.+ Qing’s brains were nearly entangled. She felt that life would truly be at stake if they continued with the topic. Of course, there would not be a problem with other people’s lives. Her life would be at stake.

“Uncle Qiao will be back soon. Hold on. Hold on.” For the sake of her life, she could not continue to chat further.
