Alienating her was the responsible thing to do, for her own safety.
However, the disappointed expression Qin Feng was expecting never came. On the contrary, Jiang Xiaowen smiled like a flower. "What was that? I'm looking for you, not for money. I've made enough of it myself. I can save five or six thousand yuan a month after paying tuition fees and living expenses. I just think you're charming, and I've noticed you before. "
Hearing this, Qin Feng was both happy and worried in his heart. Over the years in his military career, he had already gotten used to a lonely life. Although he had been looking for women without interruption and his needs in that aspect could always be satisfied, being with this kind of pure campus girl was really rare. Being together with her, Qin Feng felt particularly comfortable. His wound-up brain had the natural reflex to relax. This was the pace of life he wished for.
But his circumstances did not allow him to be so indulgent. Rigid self-control was one of the qualities that a Special Forces soldier must have. Even though Jiang Xiaowen was attractive, Qin Feng knew what he had to do.
"I'm really boring, I'm in debt, and... Did you see that friend of mine? When we went to the back door, it was actually for…" Qin Feng raised his eyebrows towards Jiang Xiaowen, "You know."
"What?"
Jiang Xiaowen did not react for a moment, looking at Qin Feng's smiling face. She suddenly understood and was shocked. "Ah? You’re gay...?”
Qin Feng preemptively said, "Yes. So, when he saw you approaching me he was a little angry. That was a man's jealousy. I don’t blame you, you don't understand our world."
Jiang Xiaowen pushed away to the side, let go of Qin Feng's arm, and looked at him a little nervously. "How do you...?"
"I like it, it's been a long time. I feel like, compared with being with men... Forget it. I could tell you, but you wouldn’t understand."
!!!
Qin Feng embarrassedly smiled.
"Mister... Mister, please pull over."
The taxi driver parked, and Qin Feng was the first to get off. "Mister, please drive her back to school."
!!!
Zhu Fei was just carrying some warm water in the corridor when Qin Feng arrived. When she saw him, she exclaimed excitedly, "Why are you here?"
Zhu Fei's small hands were carrying two big thermoses, and Qin Feng took them over, "I just got off work. It’s nothing, I just came by to check up on stuff."
"You’re not a pimp, are you? You just got off work?" Zhu Fei asked doubtfully. "Oh my goodness. You're a pimp! Get away from me!" She said jokingly.
Qin Feng asked with a serious face, "How is your father? Is he better?"
"Well, much better. All the tests came back; no internal injuries, no brain problems."
"No, he just made two calls, and I didn't answer. Oh, if he dares come by! When Dad leaves the hospital, I will tear him up," Zhu Fei angrily said and pushed open the ward door. The nurse inside was sorting out Zhu Fangguo’s quilt. The temperature in the room was a little low; they were afraid he would catch a cold.
Qin Feng carefully put the thermoses on a cabinet. The nurse came over anxiously. "OK, you young couple can go to sleep. I am here, so you can rest assured."
Awkward.
Qin Feng stood to the side, looking rough, while Zhu Fei’s cheeks flushed red, and she shyly buried her head in her shoulders.
"So, Sister Xiu, are we done?"
There was a division of labor between Zhu Fei and the nurse. Zhu Fei worked during the day. The nurse took over at night. Zhu Fei was resting in the spare ward she rented next door, when she suddenly woke up, worried that her father would get a bedsore. But she ran over only to see him sleeping peacefully, and was reassured. Seeing his thermos bottle was empty, she took the initiative to fill it and bring a spare. Then Qin Feng appeared.
The reason Sister Xiu thought they were together was mainly because Zhu Fangguo had woken up earlier and exchanged a few words with her, saying that his girl's boyfriend was very handsome, looking very steady; he was very satisfied with him.
In the break room next door, there were two simple beds. Qin Feng said awkwardly, "After tonight, us being a couple will become common knowledge. Shall we do something about it?"
Looking at Qin Feng's evil smile, Zhu Fei rolled her eyes at him. "What! Really, shame on you. How come you told my father that you were my boyfriend? What were you thinking!?"
"Would he be at ease if I did not say that? You, a helpless young girl here in this town. He cannot recognize you, cannot take care of you. If I hadn’t said that, wouldn’t he be anxious to make you go back home? Didn't I explain this to you already?" Qin Feng quickly said.
"You're right," Zhu Fei grumbled. "This is not good. You pretended to be my boyfriend in front of Jia Dapeng and you also did it in front of my father here... Hey, I really do not know how to face him in the future."
"Simple. While he is hospitalized, you cultivate a close relationship with him. Then, when he warms up to you, you can find a chance to explain it to him clearly, and then I can be ‘relieved of duty’. If you think I am in the way, I can also move out. We won’t be under the same roof. Would that be better?" Qin Feng said.
Hearing this, Zhu Fei's heart inexplicably felt a trace of melancholy, and she said, "Well, it's three o'clock. Go to bed."
They lay in separate beds, head to head. The middle was separated by two thin bedside panels. They could hear each other's breathing.
The night had finally calmed down.
Qin Feng looked at the dark window, but his heart could not calm down. He was thinking about the safety of Green Snake. If Sister Flower here was safe enough, he would go to the border again, to look for his former female comrade.
Well, he didn’t know if she was alive or dead.
Also, whether or not Green Dragon was worthy his complete trust, and whether or not Gu Shaoyun, who was in charge of the Special Forces Brigade, was the spy Xiao He told him about before he died – that remained to be seen.
