Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 766: Chapter 766: Dying Alone

”Spring in Nancheng is much colder than our Jiangning. You’re not in good health, so don’t stay out here in the cold! Come on, let’s go upstairs,” Cheng Yue held her hand and said.

”Okay.”

As they were going upstairs, Cheng Yu said to her brother Cheng Yue, ”The girl you like is this An Hao, isn’t it?”

”Yeah! Could there be several An Haos?” Cheng Yue laughed.

”Forget her,” Cheng Yu advised him, ”You’re still young, and you have many choices. Although this girl is good, she ultimately won’t belong to you.”

”I know,” Cheng Yue scratched his head and said, ”I’ve been learning to let go. It was just a fleeting glance at the time, without much interaction. Time will dilute these feelings, and I’m already more rational than before. Besides, I admire her man! He is a true man of valor!”

Cheng Yu smiled.

”Sister! I can let go of An Hao, can’t you let go of the man in your heart? You’re not really planning to be lonely for the rest of your life, are you?” Cheng Yue said, ”Actually, you could consider our Teacher Yan, I’d bet he definitely won’t be inferior to the man in your eyes.”

”You don’t need to worry about your sister’s affairs, just take care of yourself,” Cheng Yu patted Cheng Yue on the shoulder and said, ”Come on, I bought some fresh cake, let’s eat some together.”

Qin Jian accompanied An Hao shopping for an entire day, neither An Hao nor Qin Jian bought anything, but Zhang Yun bought two pieces of clothing.

Zhang Yun was someone who paid great attention to clothing and dressing. While browsing in Friendship Mall, An Hao spotted two decent coats and bought them for her.

The price was naturally steep, but Qin Jian wasn’t short of money, and An Hao had even more.

To honor the elderly, Qin Jian naturally had no objections.

In the afternoon, they watched a movie—it was a romance. An Hao was so moved by it that she cried her eyes out, leaning on Qin Jian’s shoulder for a long time.

By the time they came out of the cinema, it was already dark. The two found a restaurant, ordered two bowls of rice and two dishes, and had a full meal.

Then, the two of them slowly walked to the bus station.

”Qin Jian, let’s go back first. It’s still early, let’s take these two pieces of clothes back for mom,” An Hao said.

”Okay.” He hadn’t visited for a while, so it was also a good opportunity for him to quietly check on his parents’ well-being.

The bus was crowded, and there were no seats when they got on, so they had to squeeze in with everyone else.

Qin Jian stood behind An Hao, using his arms and body to shield her from the chaotic world outside, ensuring that no matter how crowded it became, no one could reach her.

She loved this feeling, looking at this tall and imposing man protecting her from the elements, An Hao’s heart overflowed with affection.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, she tiptoed and swiftly stole a quick kiss on Qin Jian’s lips, earning a deep smile in his eyes.

They were cramped on the bus for a long time before finally reaching the station.

Walking into the military residential compound, they passed through the beautifully scenic family quarters until they reached the innermost, most tranquil courtyard, where one of the pretty two-story buildings was the Commander’s home.

Qin Jian and An Hao stood outside, knocking on the door. It opened quickly, and Zhang Yun appeared before them.

Seeing the two of them return, she was extremely delighted: ”I didn’t expect you two to come back. I’m so happy! Come on in!”
