As soon as Zheng Yao left, Duan Minghua leaned against the door frame and asked, "What's going on?"

Duan Mingjie: “Nothing?”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Duan Minghua followed him and teased, "Tell me what happened. How could a pure and innocent girl like you be so blind?"

Duan Mingjie stopped and said speechlessly, "Brother, what are you talking about your brother?"

Duan Minghua: "Did I say something wrong?"

Duan Mingjie suddenly realized a problem, "Brother, are you saying that Comrade Zheng Yao also likes me?"

Duan Minghua smiled, pinching his waist, "So you really like her?"

Also!

"Why can't I like her? I just like her."

Duan Minghua didn't know what to say. He put his hand on Duan Mingjie's shoulder and said, "Third brother, let's go back and take a look at ourselves in the mirror, and then we can talk about whether we like it or not."

Duan Mingjie was not convinced, "Not all lesbians judge people by appearance. Besides, I'm not ugly."

"She's not ugly, but she's not handsome either," Duan Minghua was really impressed by him and actually comforted himself. "The most important thing is that you look fierce and evil, while that girl looks gentle, kind and considerate. Her father is a division commander. Even if she doesn't marry a politician, she will marry a young officer. She won't be attracted to you. You should work hard and find a female comrade in the unit to get married quickly."

Duan Mingjie went back to the house without saying a word.

Duan Mingming was applying cold cream in the house, which her elder brother had just bought for her and Yanyan.

After closing the lid, I saw Duan Mingjie coming in from outside.

"Third brother, what's wrong?"

Duan Mingjie looked at the vanishing cream in her hand, then looked at Duan Mingming's face which was a little paler than before.

"Put some on me."

Duan Mingming looked up in astonishment, "Huh?"

Duan Mingjie took the vanishing cream from her and went to wash his face.

Duan Mingming was stunned and asked Duan Yanyan who was also surprised, "Yanyan, is your uncle having a seizure?"

When has the Third Brother ever cared about his image? As soon as he arrived in the capital, he started to put on lotion!

Duan Yanyan: "Maybe he doesn't want to embarrass my father."

Duan Mingming: “It’s possible.”

Duan Mingjie sat in front of the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror.

It's a bit dark.

On Monday, Zheng Yao went to school.

She is in her third year of high school this year, and after this year, she will be able to start working next year.

The school is not far from her home, and it only takes five minutes to get there by bike. But it is too cold to ride a bike in winter, so she walks to school.

Zheng Yao has always been very alert. Today she felt like someone was following her. She subconsciously looked back, but there was no one.

I walked to the school gate, but didn't see anyone.

Maybe she was wrong.

When she returned home in the afternoon, Zheng Yao had that feeling again. This time she was smarter and chose a very long street with neither too many people nor too few people. This way she could see people when she turned around and she could be sure that someone would help her.

Zheng Yao found the right moment, turned around, and saw Duan Mingjie standing not far behind.

Meeting Zheng Yao's vigilant gaze, Duan Mingjie suddenly panicked.

Would she think he was stalking her?

Zheng Yao was also stunned. She thought that Chen Jinghe was looking for someone to take revenge on her, but she didn't expect it to be Duan Mingjie.

"I-I didn't mean to follow you."

Duan Mingjie explained hurriedly.

After explaining it, I realized that I had confessed something.

He looked at Zheng Yao cautiously, "I was worried that it would be unsafe for you to go to school alone, so I wanted to follow you to protect you."

Hearing this, Zheng Yao's heart trembled.

She walked forward a few steps and came to Duan Mingjie. "Why didn't you tell me? You were sneaking around like that. I thought you were a bad guy."

Duan Mingjie: "I was afraid you wouldn't let me follow you."

Even his elder brother thinks he is ugly.

She is so beautiful, she definitely doesn't want him to be around.

Zheng Yao pursed her lips, "If you don't ask me, how do you know I won't let you follow me?"

Duan Mingjie was overjoyed, "Are you willing to let me protect you?"

Zheng Yao nodded, "I do."

Duan Mingjie didn't know at this time that this was the first time Zheng Yao said "I do" to him.

Later, Duan Mingjie asked if she was willing to date him, and Zheng Yao said, "I am willing."

Duan Mingjie asked her if she was willing to marry him, and Zheng Yao said, "I do."

Duan Mingjie was so happy that he didn't know what to say, "Well, let's go back."

Zheng Yao hummed shyly.

On the way, Duan Mingjie talked to her as he walked, and they arrived home in a short while.

Duan Mingjie muttered: "The road is too short."

A little longer and he would be able to stay with her a little longer.

After hearing this, Lu Yao blushed again, her heart beating like a drum, "I'll wait for you tomorrow morning."

"Good, good."

Zheng Yao: "Then I'll go home?"

Duan Mingjie looked at her pink face and said, "Okay, okay."

As soon as Zheng Yao entered the yard, she saw Dong Na coming out of the house.

Seeing Duan Mingjie standing outside, he was stunned for a moment, "Yaoyao, what is this?"

He looks like a member of society.

Zheng Yao: "Mom, this is our neighbor, Comrade Duan Mingjie. His eldest brother is Chief of Staff Duan. He just moved in."

"Oh..." Dong Na remembered. She walked out the door and smiled at Duan Mingjie. "Child, do you want to come in and sit for a while?"

Duan Mingjie: "Madam, I won't go in. I'm going home first."

He wasn't mentally prepared yet.

Dong Na: "Okay, okay, come and play often in the future."

Back in the living room, Dong Na glanced at Zheng Yao and asked, "Yaoyao, how did you two know each other?"

Zheng Yao told everything, omitting the fact that Duan Mingjie wanted to protect her and bought her a coat.

Dong Na pursed her lips, a little angry, "The Chen family's child is really unreliable. I think the child just now is honest and he is our neighbor, so we should get to know each other more."

Zheng Yao hummed.

Dong Na picked up the wool and started knitting a scarf.

Zheng Yao blinked, "Mom, is this for my dad?"

"Your father is old and gets cold easily. His military uniform is not thick. I will knit him a scarf."

"If you knit it, my dad will definitely wear it."

Dong Na smiled, "That's why I knitted it for him myself, otherwise he wouldn't wear it."

Zheng Yao stared at the wool in a daze.

That night, Zheng Yao couldn't sleep.

My mind is full of Duan Mingjie's face.

The look on his face, wanting to get closer but not daring to, made her feel distressed.

Realizing this, Zheng Yao felt very strange.

She didn't know why she had different feelings for this man, and it came so quickly, so suddenly, as if it was destined.

Duan Mingjie also suffers from insomnia.

I fell asleep in a daze without knowing when, and dreamed all night, and my dreams were all about Zheng Yao.

When he woke up in the morning and looked at the dirty sheets, Duan Mingjie frowned.

I got up, put away the sheets, changed them with clean ones, and took them down to wash.

This scene happened to be seen by Gu Fulan.

She sighed and went to find Duan Minghua.

"Boss, do you have a suitable girl around you? Introduce her to our third brother."

Duan Minghua: "Mom, I've been keeping an eye on it, but I haven't decided yet. Before the blind date, I have to let the third child have a job. Without a job, how can he support the family?"

"Too."

Duan Mingjie takes Zheng Yao to school every day. On Friday afternoon, Zheng Yao twirled her fingers and asked, "Comrade Duan Mingjie, are you free tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'm free!"

Zheng Yao bit her lip and looked at him, "I want to go to the movies."

Duan Mingjie was dumbfounded.

What does that mean? Does she want to go to the movies with him?

"Well, shall I go with you?"

Zheng Yao blushed, but nodded, "Tomorrow afternoon, I'll wait for you at the gate of the compound."

Duan Mingjie resisted the urge to jump up and asked, "Do you want to go out and play in the morning?"

Zheng Yao: "I have to do my homework in the morning."

Duan Mingjie: "I'll go in the afternoon."

Zheng Yao nodded.

Duan Mingjie watched Zheng Yao enter the house before going home. As soon as he returned to the yard, he jumped up with joy.

Gu Fulan: "You are doing high jump."

Duan Mingjie stood firm and said, "Mom, why should I jump so high?"

"Then what are you doing, you lunatic?"

Duan Mingjie was happy and didn't care.

"Your elder brother has found a job for you. You will start working next Monday. Just do your job well, okay?"

Duan Mingjie didn't want to go to work. Not only was he restricted, but he also didn't make much money. But he needed this job.

"Mom, don't worry, I will do my best."
