Relying on one's own hair

Chapter 49

Qiao Ran wanted himself not to care so much, but he really couldn't do it. After the group had gone far away, he pretended to ask casually, "Isn't Cyril afraid of the principal?"

Julian said: "Yes, Cyril is currently the only S-level guide among the students in the school, and he is related to the principal's wife. The principal favors him very much, so of course he doesn't have to be afraid. I heard that Major General Hall is currently Still single, maybe the principal will match him and Cyril, one of them is Super S-rank, the other is S-rank, a strong combination is really a good match."

The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. Qiao Ran felt an unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

"Joe, what's the matter with you, why are you in a daze?"

"Nothing, let's go."

On the other side, Van Lundin didn't expect the principal to call a student over, and felt a little unhappy, but he didn't attack out of respect for the teacher.When he arrived at Wilson's house, Mrs. Wilson stood on the porch and greeted him warmly, "Son, long time no see, you look good."

Van Lundin gave her a bouquet of flowers he had bought before he came, and said, "Yes, Mrs. Ma, long time no see."

"It's so beautiful. You still remember that I like orange tulips the most." Mrs. Wilson smiled, "Come in and sit down, the food will be ready soon. I haven't seen Cyril for a while, and it seems to have grown a little taller."

"Really, thank you, auntie." Cyril sat down at the dining table gracefully.

Valentine staggered from him and sat on the other side of the table, next to Wilson.

The servants quickly served the dinner, and the table was laid out lavishly.Mrs. Wilson said a prayer before the meal, and then the four of them began to eat.

During the meeting, Wilson asked about the recent situation of Van Lundin since he was on vacation, and Van Lundin answered briefly one by one.

Mrs. Wilson cleared her throat, interrupted her husband's conversation, and asked, "Valentin, how is your grandmother?"

Van Lundin said: "Thanks to your thoughts, grandma is doing well, and recently opened two more restaurants."

Mrs. Wilson said with a smile: "Your grandmother is good at cooking, and the Chinese food she cooks is the best in the Federation. Cyril also likes it very much, right?"

Cyril frowned very slightly, then stopped the knife and fork and said, "Yes, I ate it when I was on vacation last time. My favorite is shredded sweet potatoes, which are fragrant and sweet, a very special dish. "

Van Lundin corrected blankly: "The ingredients in that dish are sweet potatoes, not sweet potatoes."

Cyril blushed, and said with some shame: "Sorry, I remembered wrongly."

Mrs. Wilson smirked and smoothed things over: "The names of Chinese dishes are numerous and complicated, and I often make mistakes. It's normal for Cyril to remember wrongly. You can take him to eat a few more times when you have time."

Valentin did not respond, but took a sip of water from his cup.

Cyril was a little embarrassed, completely unable to understand the temper of the legendary iron-blooded major general, and didn't know whether his move was acquiescing or refusing, so he had no choice but to cast a questioning look at his aunt.

Mrs. Wilson gave him a comforting look, and then said angrily: "You are still so taciturn, with such a serious expression, you will scare people who don't know the truth."

"It's good that some people are not afraid," said Valentine flatly.

Mrs. Wilson was not sure whether this "someone" was mentioned casually or specifically, so she smiled and said: "Really, then this person must be very brave. Don't be afraid, Cyril, you will know after a long time." Yes, our Major General Hall looks indifferent, but in fact he is cold on the outside and warm on the inside, with a passion for serving the country, and he is also very considerate and considerate to those close to him."

Cyril could hardly sit still, so he could only nod his head.

Valentine chewed slowly, as if Mrs. Wilson were speaking of another, unrelated person.After a while, he put down the knife and fork, wiped his lower lip with a napkin and put it on the table, saying: "Principal, teacher's wife, thank you for your hospitality. I still have something to do, so I have to take my leave first."

Mrs. Wilson asked in surprise, "It's late at night, what's the rush?"

Van Lundin said: "I returned to the school to teach temporarily. Some course content was not fully prepared and I needed to go back to prepare lessons."

Mrs. Wilson planned to persuade him to stay for a while, but Wilson said: "A teacher should have such a rigorous and responsible attitude, then you can go back."

Mrs. Wilson had no choice but to say: "That's fine, come back another day when you have time, and just treat my wife's place as your home."

Valentine nodded his thanks and got up to leave.

After sending the person away, Cyril put down the corners of his mouth that had been reluctantly raised, and said sullenly: "Aunt, Major General Hall didn't even look at me, you shouldn't let me come for today's dinner. "

Wilson followed up and said, "Yes, there is an old oriental saying called 'a twisted melon is not sweet', if you really can't do it, don't force it."

"What do you know, how do you know if it's sweet or not if you don't try it?" Mrs. Wilson rolled her husband's eyes, and then comforted Cyril: "Didn't my aunt just say that Major General Hall is such an unpleasant character, otherwise How come you have been single until now. You have to have confidence in yourself. You are one of the few S-level guides in the entire Federation, and you are so good in all aspects. Little Hall will not be interested in you unless he has mental problems, but he is obviously very serious now. It's normal, so don't worry, it will be fine!"

These words did not play a consoling role, but instead aroused Cyril's rebellious psychology, "It's not that I don't have confidence in myself, but I just think that Major General Hall and I are probably not suitable. He is super S, maybe There are not many people in the Federation who are better than him, and I have always admired him. This morning, I thought his appearance was destined and arranged by the gods. Now I find that I seem to think too much. It’s not that he is highly matched. Is there a natural attraction between the whistle and the direction? Sorry, I don’t feel it at all, not even the slightest, just like sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes, they are two completely different things.”

Mrs. Wilson was at a loss for words for a while, and then persuaded after a while: "Cyril, don't be discouraged. After all, you and Major General Hall have only known each other for a day. It's not like you to give up so quickly."

"It's just that sometimes one day is enough to recognize some things. It's just a waste of time to continue." Cyril has been regarded as the pride of heaven since he was a child, and he has never encountered such setbacks today, and he is quite depressed, " Aunt, thank you for your arrangement tonight, but I hope you can tell me in advance before you have similar thoughts next time. It's getting late, and I should go back. "

After Cyril also left, Mrs. Wilson said annoyedly: "This child, you still blame me, I'm not doing it for his own good!"

Wilson said disapprovingly, "He and Hall Jr. may really be incompatible. Don't meddle in young people's affairs. Just let nature take its course."

Mrs. Wilson said angrily: "How can you be meddling?! It's not that you are worried that you will be replaced in the next school leadership election, so you want to win more supporters? You, you still blame me now!"

Wilson hurriedly raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, blame me! Darling, stop shouting at night, and be careful not to be heard by the neighbors..."

……

The principal's house was noisy, and Qiao Ran in the library was concentrating on flipping through a reference book. Gao Cheng's silent cell phone vibrated suddenly, and a message came in.

【Amao's dad: I finished eating, where are you? 】

Huh, so fast?Qiao Ran immediately replied: [I'm in the library, wait for me, come out right away! 】

While packing his things, he said to Julian, "I have something to go back first."

"Okay, I can't stand it anymore, let's come back tomorrow."

The two put the borrowed books back in their original places, and then left the library.

After going downstairs, Qiao Ran saw a slender and tall man standing under a big tree in front of him, said goodbye to Julian, and walked over slowly with an awkward posture.

He is still sore all over now, and his legs are a little awkward when he walks.

Valentine came out from under the shadow of the tree, frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Ran shyly said: "I took a physical class in the afternoon, and my legs are sore."

Originally, he planned to get up early tomorrow for a morning run, but now it seems that it will be ruined. Whether he can get up tomorrow is still a problem.

Van Lundin showed a speechless look, and said after a while: "You don't have to take the physical class."

Qiao Ran said stubbornly: "No, I want to persevere and build up my muscles!"

Valentine glanced at him with a strange expression, but said nothing.

He couldn't imagine Qiao Ran becoming muscular like a sentinel, but because of his genes and physique, no matter how hard he worked out, Qiao Ran wouldn't become a strong man, so there was no need to worry about that.In fact, Qiao Ran is fine as she is now, but she is a little thinner, and it would be better if she can gain weight through exercise.

Julian, who was already heading to the dormitory, thought of something, and immediately turned around to tell Qiao Ran. He saw him walking side by side with a man in a dark green officer's uniform from a distance. The man was tall and leggy, with a handsome and ruthless silhouette. , No matter how you look at it, you look like Major General Hall.

Impossible, it must be my own dazzled.Qiao Ran and Major General Hall are two completely different people. How could they be so close? It would be as inconceivable as the Virgin Mary in the West and the Jade Emperor in the East.

Julian rubbed his eyes, and when he looked up again, Qiao Ran and the man were no longer in sight, and he didn't know which road they turned on.So he could only go to the dormitory again, and then sent a message to Qiao Ran, saying that he just remembered that there will be a housekeeping competition in the department tomorrow night, so he can't go to self-study.

Received a reply very quickly.

【Qiao Ran: Okay, I'll make an appointment when you're free. 】

Julian couldn't help but sent another post: [Joe, I was going to catch up to tell you just now, but I saw you walking with an officer, I almost thought that officer was Major General Hall, you said It's ridiculous, I must have read too much and made my eyes short-sighted. 】

This time, I didn't receive a message from Qiao Ran until I entered the dormitory: [You read that right, the officer walking with me is Major General Hall, and I am his assistant. 】

With a bang, Julian's cell phone hit the table, startling his roommate, "Julian, what are you doing, it's so noisy!"

"No, it's nothing, I'm sorry, my hand slipped just now!"

Julian picked up the phone with trembling hands. He didn't know what to say, and it took him a long time to send out an emoji, a small man standing at attention and saluting, with a few large characters on his head: Hello, Chief.

On the other side, Qiao Ran endured the soreness of his legs and walked slowly, while looking at the phone, he couldn't help laughing, and tapped the screen to reply: [Don't be nervous, Major General Hall is the chief, I'm not, I'm just your new friend who is a scumbag today, I will ask you to take care of me in the future [shake hands.jpg]. 】

He hesitated for a moment whether to admit his relationship with Valentine to Julian, but then he thought it would be difficult to hide it all the time. He lived with Valentine and often walked together in the academy, so sooner or later he would be caught by the students They saw it, so they simply told Julian.

[Julian: No problem, I was really scared to death just now!Joe, thank you for treating me as a friend [handshake.jpg]]

Qiao Ran couldn't help laughing again, and then he found that Valentine stopped to look at him, his eyes were dim under the streetlight, and even Amao looked up at him with a serious face.

Qiao Ran was so clever that she subconsciously stood up straight and almost shouted "Hello, Chief".

"Who are you talking to?" asked Van Lundin, flatly.

Qiao Ran confessed: "With Julian. He saw me with you just now, so I told him that I am your assistant. Is that okay?"

After a while, Valentine nodded slightly, and then continued to walk forward, "Why is he so idle, is there no sentinel?"

Qiao Ran said: "Yeah, Julian is more introverted and timid, and doesn't get along with Sentinel very much."

After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Did you finish your meal so soon?"

It was only 08:30, and he had expected that Van Lundin would not be back until at least nine o'clock.

"Aren't you waiting for me?" asked Valentine.

Qiao Ran choked for a moment, her heart pounding, did he see what was on her mind?Probably not, otherwise Valentine's reaction would not have been so flat.

He pretended to be calm and said: "Well, go to self-study, and wait for you to go back together by the way."

"is it?"

"Yes."

Qiao Ran felt that the conversation between the two was boring, but if Valentine wanted to ask, he could only answer in this way.

But not only did Valentin come back to him so soon, but he didn't mention Cyril along the way, so there shouldn't be anything special happening, right?

Thinking of this, I felt happy again in an instant.
