Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 2156: Chapter 2151: Not the Least Bit Sincere

”What does that indicate?”

”It indicates that the organization still trusts me! Otherwise, they wouldn’t have entrusted such an important task to me!” Qin Jian affirmed.

The spy has not been found, and the National Security Bureau is also quite anxious.

”You’re not lying to Mom, are you?”

”Of course not!” Qin Jian said with absolute certainty.

”That’s good then.”

”Mom, I’ve been cooped up at home all day, I want to go out for a walk!” Qin Jian said.

”Should I accompany you?” Zhang Yun looked at her son, noticing his mobility issues, and intended to go with him.

At that moment, after finishing her chores, Yuan Yunong came over to Zhang Yun and said, ”Auntie, I’ve just finished up, and I was hoping to go for a walk myself. I’ll accompany Captain Qin downstairs. When he gets tired, I’ll bring him back up!”

”This...” Zhang Yun was still hesitant, but Qin Jian had already agreed readily.

”Come back early,” Zhang Yun gave a few reminders and let the two of them go downstairs.

With one leg in a cast, Qin Jian found it a bit strenuous to go downstairs. Yuan Yunong bit her lower lip, hesitated for a few seconds, then stepped forward to support Qin Jian, ”Captain Qin, let me help you!”

Qin Jian was momentarily startled, then slowly nodded, ”Alright then, Teacher Yuan, this is really a bother for you. In the time I’ve been away, I’ve heard you’ve been helping my mother and the kids quite often. I’m really grateful to you!”

”Captain Qin, you’ve thanked me verbally so many times. It doesn’t sound sincere at all! If you really want to thank me, why don’t you treat me to a meal once your leg heals? I know a really nice restaurant that I’ve been reluctant to visit because it’s a bit pricey!” Yuan Yunong blinked, with a hint of mischief in her eyes.

Qin Jian stared at Yuan Yunong for a few seconds, somewhat lost in thought.

”Captain Qin?” Yuan Yunong waved her hand in front of his eyes.

Qin Jian snapped back to reality, a bit embarrassed, ”I zoned out for a moment. The way you blinked reminded me a lot of An Hao!”

”Really?” This is the second time someone has said she resembles An Hao.

Who knows if it’s true?

”Yes.” Qin Jian nodded, ”In fact, your temperaments are somewhat similar!”

”Maybe it’s because An Hao and I have spent a lot of time together that we’ve started to resemble each other?” Yuan Yunong chuckled lightly, assisting Qin Jian out of the building.

Summer made the building unbearably hot, prompting many to come downstairs to escape the heat after meals.

Liao Ting, having finished an argument with Wang Zhong, came downstairs to cool off, fanning herself as she joined some neighbors under the big tree next to the building.

They were gossiping about neighbors when they saw Yuan Yunong helping Qin Jian out.

”Look! Look! Speak of the devil, and here he is!” Liao Ting’s eyes lit up with excitement like she discovered a new land, ”See? I wasn’t trying to deceive you guys, was I? What do you think the Ning Family is up to?”

”Exactly! How could they do such a thing while Dr. An is away?”

”I doubt Teacher Yuan is any good either. What do you think? If we sent our kids to him, would he lead them astray?”

Their voices were just loud enough for Yuan Yunong to hear. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket, and said to Qin Jian, ”Captain Qin, you’re sweating. Let me wipe it for you.”
