34: Chapter 34: Interested in Becoming a Soldier 34: Chapter 34: Interested in Becoming a Soldier Qin Jian hadn’t finished speaking when An Hao pushed him away with a single sentence.
Since she had already spoken, what reason did he have to stay?
Goodbye!” Qin Jian grabbed his things and turned to leave.
As soon as Song Yueqin saw this, she immediately became anxious and hurriedly asked, “Big Brother Qin, what’s your name?
How can I write to you if I have questions?”
Qin Jian paused, hesitated for a moment, looked at An Hao, and seeing her looking back at him with a pair of moist eyes, he said, “My name is Qin Jian!
I work at the Provincial Electric Power Research Institute.”
Upon hearing this, Song Yueqin quickly noted it down.
Looking at Qin Jian’s handsome, picturesque face, her heart thumped rapidly.
She looked at Qin Jian with a shy and smiling face, and called out loudly, “Big Brother Qin!
My name is Song Yueqin!
I’ll write to you when I have time!”
Qin Jian pressed his lips together and, without saying a word, turned to open the car door.
Just before getting into the car, as if possessed, he said to An Hao, “Thanks for the sugar-coated hawthorns you gave me before, they were delicious!”
An Hao was momentarily stunned; the Qin Jian of her previous life had never said such a thing to her.
Perhaps it was because the relationship between them as a couple had been rather cold, and he rarely spoke; when he did, it was usually to tell her not to fuss.
“Wait a moment!” An Hao felt slightly moved and hurriedly picked up two strings of sugar-coated hawthorns from the stall and chased after him, “These two strings of sugar-coated hawthorns are for you!”
Qin Jian clearly paused for a moment as well.
Seeing him at a standstill, An Hao smiled and urged him, “Come on, take them!
Don’t start with the whole ‘I shouldn’t have’ talk again…”
“I can’t just let you lose money on this!” Qin Jian prepared to take out money from his pocket.
An Hao didn’t wait for him to pull out his wallet, she pushed the sugar-coated hawthorns into his hand with a radiantly brilliant smile that outshone the sun, “You’re so stubborn!
After speaking, she turned and walked back.
Qin Jian looked at the two enticing red strings of sugar-coated hawthorns in his hand, and the corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly, “Thank you!
My name is An Hao, as in ‘years of peace’ An Hao!”
An Hao…” Qin Jian murmured softly to himself twice, then turned and got into the car.
As soon as he got into the car, he put the sugar-coated hawthorns aside, looked at them again and then picked them up.
He had indeed never liked such things before; they were sour and not very exciting, just little things to coax girls with.
But now, he had started to somewhat like these sugar-coated hawthorns.
He thought about the reason and gave himself a far-fetched excuse.
“It’s natural for tastes to change!” Qin Jian softly said to himself, then took a bite of the sugar-coated hawthorn, “Hmm, indeed not bad!
I’ll share what I bought with everyone when I get back!”
Song Yueqin watched the car go farther and farther away, not taking her eyes off it until it was out of sight.
“An Hao, how do you know Big Brother Qin?
Where is his home?” As soon as Yueqin saw Qin Jian, she couldn’t forget him, wondering how she might connect with him.
An Ping saw what was on Song Yueqin’s mind and snickered, “Yueqin Sister, are you smitten with that soldier?”
Childish nonsense, what would you know!” Song Yueqin glanced at An Ping with disdain, “Adults are talking, kids should keep out of it!”
“Hahaha!” An Ping burst into laughter, “I think you’re just feeling guilty because I’m onto you!
You’re a girl, and yet you’re so forward.
It would be strange if he wasn’t scared off!”
Remembering how forward she had just been, Song Yueqin’s face grew hot; had she been too obvious?
“Don’t talk nonsense!
I just wanted to ask how to study well, I’m planning to get into a good university!”
