Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Capítulo 2385: Chapter 2278: He’s in Love Now

“You already have someone you like?” Commander Qiu seemed a bit surprised.

He had done some groundwork beforehand, having called and asked their dean, who said Ji Chuan had been so focused on his work over the years that there were no rumors of him having a girlfriend.

This was why he agreed to his daughter’s request; if the man had someone, he wouldn’t have invited Ji Chuan over to introduce him to his daughter.

“Yes.” Ji Chuan nodded with a smile, “You might even know the person, Commander Qiu!”

“Oh?”

“She’s Yan Deputy Commander’s woman! Yan Huan!” Ji Chuan replied.

“Yan Deputy Commander!” Of course, Commander Qiu knew him, as Yan had helped him immensely during his early years in the army, “So she’s his daughter? I saw her when she was little, that girl grew to be quite the beauty, vivacious personality!”

“She is.” When talking about Yan Huan, Ji Chuan’s eyes softened, “Her character is indeed straightforward, sometimes lacking a feminine grace, but I quite admire that about her.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Xinyi felt a pang of jealousy, her lips curled slightly as she casually remarked, “Yes! Yan Huan and I are colleagues. She’s really carefree, sometimes she seems just like a man! Oh, by the way, there’s a doctor among you named Cheng Yue, he seems to like Yan Huan quite a bit! Their relationship seems rather deep! When I went to the countryside, I often saw the two of them sticking together!”

Commander Qiu didn’t know much about this matter, but hearing his daughter say that, he worried Ji Chuan might feel awkward or misunderstood, so he hurriedly whispered, “Don’t speak nonsense! Without factual evidence, don’t make things up!”

“Who says there isn’t any!” Qiu Xinyi put down her chopsticks and stood up, “Wait a moment, Ji Chuan, I’ll show you something!”

“No need! They knew each other from before. I’m aware of this. Yan Huan’s brother is Cheng Yue’s teacher; Cheng Yue often went to Yan Huan’s house as a guest before, I’m aware of this.” Ji Chuan quickly said.

“What you see is just the surface.” Qiu Xinyi flashed him a smile and turned to leave the dining room.

Qiu Xinyi went upstairs, where she had a few photos in her drawer, taken hastily when she saw Yan Huan and Cheng Yue together during work.

She had returned a few times in between to get these photos developed and didn’t know why she did it; she just felt they might come in handy someday.

Unexpectedly, she ended up needing them so soon.

Qiu Xinyi brought the photos down from upstairs, walked up to Ji Chuan with a bright smile, “Come, take a look!”

“What is this?” Ji Chuan said while retrieving the photos from the envelope, his eyes darkened upon seeing the first one.

This photo was when Yan Huan was bitten by a snake, and Cheng Yue was treating her wound, taken by Qiu Xinyi.

Cheng Yue leaned forward, Yan Huan leaned back, his lips close to her cheek, her face flushed, showing a bashful demeanor.

The following photos were mostly of the same kind.

The two walking side by side, squatting together eating, standing in the river catching fish, laughing and splashing water, made Ji Chuan’s heart turn cold in waves.
