Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Deliberately Approaching the Little Girl

”Brother Qin, put me down! I’m really fine!”

If she was fine, would she be afraid to walk?

Qin Jian ignored her and headed straight for the gate of the courtyard.

It was noon, and colleagues from the courtyard were gradually returning for lunch.

When colleagues from another department saw Qin Jian carrying a girl in his arms from a distance, they stopped dead in their tracks as if they had seen a ghost, ”Lun Jiangang, Lun Jiangang, is that Qin Jian up ahead? Why do I see him holding a girl in his arms?”

Upon seeing this, Lun Jiangang’s eyes bulged like copper bells, ”Yes, it’s really him! Has this kid started dating?”

”Don’t know! Shall we go and see?”

”Let’s go!”

As the two approached, they saw it was indeed Qin Jian, Lun Jiangang laughed and teased him, ”Qin Jian, I really didn’t expect this, even the eternal ice mountain like you has fallen for beauty?”

Qin Jian, hearing Lun Jiangang’s teasing, gave him a cold look and didn’t say a word, continuing to walk forward.

”Hey, you’re too arrogant, boy! You should hurry up and get married. If you don’t, people will start suspecting there’s something wrong with your body! Haha!” Lun Jiangang was teasing Qin Jian without any reserve.

In the research institution, his professional skills were very impressive, but he was a bit of a brute.

He was not young either, and had only recently taken a wife.

As a result, he got himself a tigress, and it was a daily occurrence to hear her roar like a lioness from the east bank of the river, followed by man and woman trading blows!

Everyone in the courtyard knew about this!

Strangely, his wife, who wouldn’t even spare the unit leaders her tongue-lashings, acted differently around Qin Jian. Every time she talked to him, her voice was soft and smiling, her eyes alight with warmth.

He didn’t understand why, so when he asked his wife, she said it was because Qin Jian was handsome and pleasing to people.

What’s the use of being handsome!

Can you top it off with steamed buns to eat or clothes to wear?

He was just indignant, wasn’t Qin Jian just a pretty boy?

But it was this pretty boy who, whether in terms of professional skills or personal interaction, far exceeded him.

So, every time he saw Qin Jian, he would feel uncomfortable, as if he were seeing an enemy.

Lun Jiangang’s teasing didn’t bother Qin Jian; he was already used to it.

As for Lun Jiangang, Qin Jian always ignored him completely.

But An Hao didn’t know and couldn’t stand the embarrassment. Blushing, she gently patted Qin Jian, ”You should put me down... or else people will laugh at us again.”

Qin Jian was unmoved, ”Why bother with that, just pretend you didn’t hear.”

”Ah...” An Hao wanted to say something but then thought better of it, deciding not to waste her breath arguing with him. If he wanted to carry her, let him carry her; after all, she didn’t have to walk and could save some energy.

Qin Jian carried her all the way, while An Hao’s body remained slightly rigid in his arms.

She was so close to his chest that she could even hear the beating of his heart, and her nose could pick up the faint scent of soap coming from him.

He was a very clean person! An Hao thought to herself quietly, her cheeks beginning to warm slightly.

Upon their arrival at the infirmary, the doctor checked An Hao and found nothing wrong with her foot.

It was just a little uncomfortable from the recent twist, and would get better once the blood circulation improved.

”Hmm, thank you, doctor,” An Hao expressed her gratitude.

”No need to thank me,” the doctor said with a smile, looking at An Hao before pulling Qin Jian aside and whispering, ”Qin, are you using your official position for private purposes? As someone who’s often out on inspections, you must be used to injuries, right? This foot is neither red nor blue, it’s obvious that there’s nothing wrong. I don’t believe you can’t see that. Tell me, are you using this opportunity to deliberately get close to this young lady?”
