Jealousy is the most stubborn human emotion. - Bacon
Wu Xiaoqing's appearance diverted everyone's attention in time, and Qin Nan was able to take off her clothes and go upstairs to take a shower and change clothes. After walking around for a day, her legs felt like lead. The most terrible thing was that she didn't have a good rest last night, and she was in a trance when she got up in the morning.
Yes, after walking outside all day and being exposed to the sun, I now have a splitting headache and my heart is still a little short of blood supply.
After insisting on taking a shower, I really wanted to just lie in bed and rest, but when I thought about the guests downstairs and I couldn't drag myself down, my parents would be embarrassed, so I changed into a small evening dress and forced myself to go downstairs.
Wu Xiaoqing and Qin Bei are the same age, and the two families have known each other since childhood. Qin Nan remembers it correctly. Xiao Qing often came to play with Qin Bei at home before, and the two of them were childhood sweethearts. After Qin Bei left, Xiao Qing has not been here once. Today
Everyone in the Qin family was a little surprised when the Qin family suddenly appeared, but the Qin couple looked very happy. When Qin Nan went downstairs, he saw Yuan Jingshu holding Xiaoqing's hand warmly, and Qin Bei was watching the news on the sports channel. It seemed that
I don't care much about what they talk about.
Qin Nan sat calmly on the sofa in the corner, trying not to attract attention, but Xiaoqing still saw her.
"Who is this beauty?" Xiaoqing looked at Qin Nan and asked Yuan Jingshu.
"Qin Nan, have you forgotten? The one who always pesters you for sweets is Qin Bei's sister." Yuan Jingshu reminded.
"Ah, it's Qin Nan. She's really transformed into a girl, she's grown so big." Xiao Qing said as she stood up and walked to Qin Nan's side. Qin Nan quickly stood up and said, "Sister Xiao Qing, long time no see."
Xiaoqing took Qin Nan's hand, motioned her to sit down, and looked at her carefully. Qin Nan also secretly observed Xiaoqing, and couldn't help but admire that a woman in her 30s still looked like she was in her early 20s, not looking any older than herself.
Her short hair reaches her shoulders, and her well-fitting suit shows her ability and stability, while her eyes reveal innocence and frankness.
Qin Nan had to admit that if she conquered him with candies when she was a child, now she relied on her own personal charm. She even started to like Xiaoqing a little, at least not to say she was disgusted. When she thought that her parents had chosen her for her,
Sister-in-law, I couldn't help but look at Qin Bei. Qin Nan felt that they were a match made in heaven. Both of them were so confident and energetic. If only she had half the charm of Xiaoqing, she would be satisfied. She couldn't bear to think like this.
I can't help but feel inferior to myself.
"Qin Bei, why didn't you notify me, an old classmate, when you came back? If Uncle Qin hadn't called my dad, I wouldn't have known you were back." Xiao Qing found an opportunity and said to Qin Bei, who was concentrating on watching TV.
"I just came back yesterday and haven't had time yet. Is Uncle Wu okay? I'll go see him someday." Qin Bei finally turned his attention away from the TV and said to Xiaoqing with a smile.
"This is what you said. He often talks about you. How about going to our house tomorrow?" Xiaoqing's emotions were obviously aroused after hearing this.
"Tomorrow, I'm afraid..."
"Just tomorrow, Qin Bei, you will pick up Xiaoqing from get off work tomorrow, drop by to see your Uncle Wu, and bring it to him for me, and bring him the Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao that I asked someone to buy." Qin Bei was about to find a reason to refuse. When he was talking, Qin Benru interrupted him and promised Xiao Qing for him. Qin Bei didn't say anything. Xiao Qing looked at Qin Bei and then at Qin Benru, "It doesn't matter. Uncle doesn't have to spend money. You can go anytime. Look at this time I didn’t bring any gifts, I came in a hurry..."
"Just tomorrow, why are you so polite?" Qin Benru waved his hand and said without a doubt, Xiaoqing winked at Qin Bei, Qin Bei smiled at her, and Qin Nan saw it.
"Xiaoqing, from now on when you have nothing to do after get off work, you can come over to your house for dinner. Qin Nan and I are having dinner together as soon as school starts. It's so deserted." Yuan Jingshu also saw the expressions of the two of them and said with a smile.
"Okay, Auntie, as long as you don't hate me." Xiaoqing happily agreed.
At the dinner table, Xiaoqing was very active and kept asking Qin Bei about his life abroad. Qin Bei answered honestly and told some anecdotes from time to time to make everyone happy. Xiaoqing looked very happy.
And Qin Nan tried his best not to let everyone notice her. She laughed in agreement when she should laugh, and concentrated on eating the rest of the time. She could feel that Xiao Qing liked Qin Bei, and women's intuition was generally not wrong, even though she was right about Qin Bei.
I have no experience in this area.
But everyone can see Xiaoqing's behavior, and she is an old girl and she is not married yet. As soon as Qin Bei comes back, she comes over to see her. This simply makes it clear that she is waiting for Qin Bei. Qin Nan believes that Qin Bei also understands Xiaoqing's intentions.
Thoughts, it can be seen that he does not hate her. Originally, who would hate such a girl?
However, if Xiaoqing becomes his sister-in-law, it will not be difficult for people to accept her. At least it will be better than that of an outsider whom she does not know. Thinking of this, Qin Nan secretly laughed at himself. He had not even written his horoscope yet, so he kept worrying about it.
"Qin Nan, what are your plans for tomorrow?" Qin Bei's sudden question made Qin Nan choke. She was taking a sip of soup and thought he wouldn't notice her all night. She coughed twice before she calmed down.
, seeing everyone at the table looking at her with wide eyes, she hurriedly said: "I'm sorry." Looking at Qin Bei, he was looking at her with a smile, and he didn't feel at all that he was the one who caused her embarrassment. Qin Nan
Sighing secretly, he didn't feel comfortable even having a meal. "Go to the library and read." She glanced at him and replied.
"I'll go with you tomorrow to check some information." Qin Bei continued to eat his meal regardless of whether he agreed or not.
"Oh," Qin Nan agreed without raising his head.
Qin Benru frowned: "Don't forget to visit your Uncle Wu tonight. I've already ordered someone to book your car. It will take a month to arrive. You can use my car first." Qin Benru wanted to do something for Qin.
The relationship between Bei and Xiaoqing is convenient.
"How do you usually go to school?" Qin Bei asked Qin Nan. Qin Nan didn't feel that he was asking her at first, but when he found that no one answered, he looked up and saw Qin Bei's questioning eyes.
"Take the bus." The words were concise and to the point.
"Take me." As soon as Qin Bei said this, the whole family, except Xiaoqing, looked at him with wide eyes. You must know that this young master has never taken a bus since he was a child. He doesn't know what happened to a junior high school.
Xie. Qin Bei was calm and composed. Qin Nan simply said "hmm" and ignored him. She felt that Xiao Qing was paying attention to the two of them.
After dinner, Qin Benru asked Qin Bei to see Xiaoqing off. Qin Nan went upstairs to rest on the pretext that he was tired after a day of shopping. As a result, he was physically exhausted and mentally excited, lying in bed too lazy to move, but his mind was constantly running and he was not sleepy.
It has been two days, and Qin Nan is very worried that he has insomnia. His mind is very confused. He thinks about himself when he was a child, Xiaoqing, and even what Qin Bei and the two are doing now.
Qin Nan couldn't help but patted his head gently. It was none of his business what others did. However, Qin Bei had been out for several hours. Being able to stay with Xiao Qing so late could only mean one thing. He also liked it.
Thinking of this, Qin Nan felt sour in her heart. She was suddenly very jealous of Xiao Qing. If she were a man, she would also like her, not to mention that Qin Bei was a man.
A classmate in middle school once said that she was afraid that her brother would marry her a sister-in-law, and that he would treat her badly. Did she think so too? With a splitting headache, Qin Nan decided to get up and heat a cup for herself.
Milk, I heard it can calm the nerves.
Tiptoeing downstairs, he walked through the living room in the dark and went to the kitchen to heat up a glass of milk. Hearing the "ding" of the microwave, he numbly took out the milk with cotton gloves and put it on the tray that had been prepared.
, turned around and prepared to turn off the lights and leave the kitchen.
When he saw Qin Bei's tall body leaning against the kitchen door, looking at her playfully, Qin Nan was slightly startled. He didn't know when he was here. Maybe he was so absorbed in warming the milk that he didn't even open the door when he came back.
I didn't even hear his voice, but he finally came back, and I breathed a sigh of relief secretly.
"Would you like to heat a cup for you?" Qin Nan asked expressionlessly.
"I went to have a few drinks with friends after I sent her home." Qin Bei didn't know why he suddenly said this to her. It sounded like he was explaining something, but he was used to being free, and he didn't know what happened today.
He actually reported his whereabouts to her and cursed himself secretly.
"Oh." Qin Nan nodded. He felt much better after hearing what he said. He looked straight at him with no intention of moving his eyes away. He felt like there was something wrong with him. He lowered his head and saw that
He took a breath.
I was wearing a translucent gauze low-cut pajamas. I usually lived alone on the second floor. At night, Qin Benru, his wife and Mrs. Wang went to bed very early. No one had ever seen me dressed like this, so I just put it on and took it off.
Milk, I never felt any inconvenience in the past, but I didn't expect to meet Qin Bei today, and he was staring at me, his eyes getting deeper and deeper.
Qin Nan subconsciously covered his chest with his other hand, lowered his head and walked quickly towards the kitchen door. However, he showed no intention of moving away to make way for her. When he walked up to him, Qin Nan checked with his eyes.
, if you force your way out, you will definitely touch his body. Gritting your teeth, you stand up on tiptoes and pass by him cautiously.
Fortunately, I took a deep breath, but I smelled a faint fragrance on his body, the kind of body odor mixed with the smell of shaving cream and soap, a unique masculine smell, and my heartbeat couldn't help but I wanted to do it without looking back.
Go upstairs, but be careful with the milk in your hand.
"You seem to be afraid of me?" Qin Bei kept looking at her expression, and seeing her alienation when she passed by him made him feel funny and a little hurt.
Yes, he didn't expect her to appear in front of her dressed like this. He knew that she might not mean it. When he first saw her dressed like this, Qin Bei admitted that he was still a little moved, but he was not completely fascinated yet.
To this extent, for so many years, he has never lacked women around him. Americans dress much more liberally than domestic standards, so he did not realize that Qin Nan was embarrassed. After all, this was the first time she had worn such revealing clothes in front of a man, even if it was
Neither can my brother.
"Go to bed early, breakfast will be served at seven o'clock." Qin Nan did not look back, reminding him of the rules at home, so as not to cause trouble for her to have a good meal. After listening to Qin Benru's nagging, he picked up his skirt and went upstairs.
Qin Bei shrugged, returned to the kitchen, and took out a can of beer from the refrigerator. While drinking, he thought about Qin Nan's behavior since he returned home. His curiosity became more and more intense. He originally wanted to move to the school after returning to China, but now
It's better to stay here. Anyway, with a sister like this here, it won't be boring. With this thought in mind, I raised my head and drank the beer in one gulp.
