Chapter 6

Qiao Nuan sat down by the window with her backpack, feeling indignant, "That is because you are tall"

There is no way around it, the local natives are just convenient—do you want me to give you a ride

Qiao Nuan was unwilling to return with Gao Lang at all. The joyful mood she had when she arrived had inexplicably vanished completely. No matter how much she told herself that Li Shanshan and Gao Lang were the most compatible, it could not dispel the feeling of jealousy. And this version of herself appeared truly detestable.

What major are you studying

Qiao Nuan paused for a moment, smiled, and said, "Well, she is the class beauty, and many boys are pursuing her"

Cheng Jingda smiled, "I won't eat either. How about taking a walk by the river with me?"

Qiao Nuan opened her mouth but ultimately said nothing. On the way to the train station, Qiao Nuan intentionally lagged half a step behind Gao Lang and Li Shanshan, a distance that made her feel more at ease. After seeing Li Shanshan off on the train, Qiao Nuan and Gao Lang walked back. Upon exiting the waiting hall, Gao Lang suddenly reached out, took Qiao Nuan's bag, slung it over his shoulder, and turned to walk towards the bus station

Qiao Nuan shrugged, "It seems that everyone prefers to see others living less happily..." She paused, "It appears that I am no exception."

However, how is it that from Jingda's description, I feel it is not like this

Qiao Nuan nodded, "Thank you, senior."

Aren't you going to eat anymore?" Cheng Jingda looked at the unfinished meat and bones on her plate

Qiao Nuan opened the bag and saw it contained Huoxiang Zhengqi liquid and another box of medicine for diarrhea. She looked up and saw the concerned expression on Li Shanshan's face, feeling a mix of emotions in her heart. She thought to herself that her performance today was truly terrible and ugly, and unable to help herself, she reached out and grasped Li Shanshan's arm, whispering: "Shanshan, I am sorry"

The military parade on the 29th is approaching, and Qiao Nuan and their team successfully completed their tasks. Finally, the principal announced the successful conclusion of the military training, and everyone threw their hats into the air together, erupting into an enduring cheer on the playground

Qiao Nuan did not respond, gently shaking her head

The stomach can no longer accommodate.

Qiao Nuan watched this scene, feeling somewhat uncomfortable. She quietly sat down and unconsciously shifted a little to the side, distancing herself slightly from Li Shanshan. Li Shanshan was engaged in lively conversation with Gao Lang and his group of friends, while Qiao Nuan was happily indulging in her meal on the side. Her favorite dishes were the meat and bone together and the tiger skin green peppers. She sipped on cola while secretly taking her favorite food from the plates that were brought out, enjoying her meal immensely, with a layer of sweat forming on her nose.

Qiao Nuan looked at Gao Lang, who was smiling brightly, and suddenly felt a wave of chest tightness. In fact, she was not short; standing at 1.63 meters, her height was more than sufficient.

In fact, I have a rough idea of what you are thinking. Cheng Jingda's voice was calm.

Is Gao Lang also pursuing her

Before long, Li Shanshan also returned, pushed open the dormitory door, and walked straight towards her, "Hello, A Nuan, are you feeling better? I brought you some medicine." As she spoke, she handed her a white plastic bag.

Advertising design. Qiao Nuan answered truthfully while munching on corn

Oh, that's quite close to my home—Is Teacher Wang still teaching the third year of high school?

Li Shanshan walked between her and Gao Lang, chatting with Gao Lang about topics that Qiao Nuan had no understanding of. Qiao Nuan looked down at her toes, feeling that this was truly an endless torment, and feared that she would break down before even reaching the dormitory

After getting into the car, Gao Lang returned her backpack, smiling with a look of pride, "You still need to exercise more, junior."

Hey, what happened? Why did it suddenly turn out like this

Cheng Jingda smiled, picked up the corn cob, placed it on the plate in front of her, and asked: "Why aren't you chatting with them?"

Upon seeing this situation, Qiao Nuan understood and quickly smiled, saying: "Shan Shan, since there is a senior sending you, shall I just head home directly?"

Gao Lang's expression slightly brightened, "Pan Song and the others have left first, let's head back to the dormitory as well. Jing Da, you and Chen Cheng go back first, I will escort Shan Shan and Qiao Nuan."

Qiao Nuan lay on her back, covering her eyes with a book, and let out a long sigh. She was still able to discern what was of greater or lesser importance.

I apologize, it is my fault for causing you and the senior to worry

"If you disappear from in front of me, you will be doing me a great favor." Li Shanshan shot her a glance.

Gao Lang's voice carried an ambiguous smile, and Qiao Nuan was taken aback, unconsciously turning her head. To her surprise, Gao Lang was also looking at her, and their gazes collided perfectly. Qiao Nuan's heart skipped a beat, as if the blood in her body surged rapidly, and her ears immediately turned red.

Our class instructor mentioned that her students had interned in the social section of a city newspaper, and they would come to the riverside every day to eavesdrop on gossip. Away from Li Shanshan and Gao Lang, Qiao Nuan felt completely relaxed, and she unconsciously began to talk more.

Qiao Nuan remained silent for a long time, and finally shook her head, "I still won't say anything. I feel a bit off, but it should be fine. I will be better by tomorrow"

Are you and Shanshan in the same class

I do not know what to talk about

Li Shanshan was about to nod, but Gao Lang said: "Let's go together, my home is also near San Zhong, it happens to be on your way."

Is there nothing more positive

Gao Lang no longer teased her and asked, "Where exactly is your home?"

Cheng Jingda nodded and looked at Qiao Nuan, "If you have anything, you can find me. I share a dormitory with Gao Lang."

Li Shanshan smiled and said, "A Nuan, how come you are also acting cute? Let go of me quickly, I need to take a shower, I feel so uncomfortable with all this sweat"

Then you can just pretend not to know, senior. Qiao Nuan looked into the distance and fell silent.

She took a deep breath, withdrew her arm, and said: "Shanshan, I think I've upset my stomach, I'm leaving now, you all take your time chatting!" Without waiting for Gao Lang and Li Shanshan to respond, she hurriedly stepped away and ran towards the dormitory.

Interference from a third party, discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, unfilial children, and so on

It is not actually an allergy to alcohol, but rather that it is not advisable to drink during menstruation. Qiao Nuan reached out to take the wine glass from Li Shanshan's hand, but unexpectedly, Li Shanshan calmly pushed her hand away and smiled, saying: "It's fine, A Nuan, just a little bit, I can't refuse a toast from a senior." Saying this, she clinked glasses with Shao Song and downed it in one go. Gao Lang's friends immediately erupted in cheers.

After a while, Gao Lang suddenly asked: "Do you have any contact with Jing Da?"

Qiao Nuan glanced at the spirited Gao Lang and Li Shanshan, and nodded.

What type of rumors are there

Well, she is my roommate

Qiao Nuan and Cheng Jingda arrived at a dock, leaning against the railing as they gazed at the ferries and passenger ships on the distant river, along with small fishing boats drifting on the shimmering water. The evening breeze carried a damp scent tinged with a hint of fishiness.

It is convenient, the bus goes directly to the train station

This major requires a foundation in drawing

Li Shanshan paused for a moment and replied with a smile, "Sure. But Anuan, is it convenient for you to go home from the train station?"

Qiao Nuan was already feeling a bit drowsy when she was startled by Gao Lang's sudden question, quickly shaking her head, "No."

Qiao Nuan was stunned for a moment before she reacted, hurriedly chasing after him, "Ah, senior, I can carry it myself, it's not heavy at all!" However, Gao Lang had long legs and strides, always staying several steps ahead of her. Feeling helpless, Qiao Nuan could only jog along and get into the car.

In preparation for the final military training parade, Qiao Nuan and her team have significantly increased their training intensity. By the end of the day, they are exhausted to the point of feeling like they might fall apart, leaving them with no energy to think about romantic matters.

City W is located in the central region, and the W River was an important waterway in ancient times, which made City W the most significant hub for both human and logistical flow. People come and go from both the north and south of the great river, leading to a collision of various cultures and customs, resulting in City W being a vibrant city full of life. From language to cuisine, everything exudes a sense of familiarity and warmth, embodying a charm that is both common and endearing.

Two people were enjoying the breeze while watching the lights of the navigation beacon, sharing amusing stories from their lives. They were unaware of how much time had passed when Qiao Nuan heard someone calling them from a distance

Qiao Nuan broke into a smile, "No, I just have a relatively slow-to-warm personality."

Why do you say that

Are you feeling nervous

Qiao Nuan quickly responded loudly and walked towards the sound with Cheng Jingda. It was Li Shanshan, Gao Lang, and another boy whose name Qiao Nuan did not know. Gao Lang's expression was not good as he looked at Cheng Jingda and asked, "Why did you leave without saying hello?"

Ah, no wonder you have such elegance

Cheng Jingda adjusted his glasses, smiled, and said, "I apologize for the interruption. I noticed that you all seem unable to disperse for the time being, so I thought it would be fine to come over for a stroll before heading back."

Qiao Nuan shook her head, "I am not very clear, but Teacher Wang has mentioned that he does not want to teach the third year of high school anymore, and he might go back to teaching the first year of high school."

Li Shanshan grabbed Qiao Nuan's hand and said, "A Nuan, why didn't you say anything to me? I just searched for you and Senior Gao Lang for quite a while, worried that something might have happened to you."

Qiao Nuan helped Li Shanshan carry a suitcase. When they arrived downstairs, they unexpectedly found Gao Lang standing in front of the dormitory building, clearly having waited for quite a while. Li Shanshan smiled and waved her hand, "Senior, sorry to keep you waiting."

Yes, it should be slightly higher than you

Qiao Nuan couldn't help but glance over at Li Shanshan and Gao Lang. They seemed to be discussing some topic, and Li Shanshan was giggling uncontrollably. She nodded and said, "Yes, it should be." She looked down at the unevenly gnawed, yellowed corn on the cob in her hand and suddenly felt a complete loss of appetite. She set down her chopsticks, wiped her hands with a tissue, and then took a large sip of cola

After running past Teaching Building 1 and the Administration Building, the dormitory complex finally came into view. Qiao Nuan then stopped and took a long breath. After returning to the dormitory, she made a phone call to her family and to Xie Qingyan, then took a shower and lay on her bed reading a novel

Gao Lang smiled and fell silent. Qiao Nuan felt somewhat reserved in front of Gao Lang and did not know how to initiate a conversation, so she could only gaze out the window, thinking that in such an awkward situation, she must do her utmost to avoid it next time

Longquan Street Community

Li Shanshan is from City C. She had already bought her ticket home for the National Day holiday, and as soon as she returned to the dormitory, she began to pack her luggage. Qiao Nuan only needs an hour and a half to take the bus home, and she doesn't have much to pack either. So she sat nearby, snacking while teasing the flustered Li Shanshan, "Do you need my help?"

Another plate of grilled corn on the cob was served. Qiao Nuan reached out with her chopsticks to pick one up, but unfortunately, another pair of chopsticks had already moved ahead. Qiao Nuan looked up and found it was Cheng Jingda sitting across from her. She shyly touched her nose and said, "Senior, please go ahead."

No, we focus more on marketing. However, Shanshan has studied painting since elementary school.
