Chapter 909: Could Not Always Help for Nothing

Chapter 909 Could Not Always Help for Nothing

"Most likely, wiping the place another two or three times tomorrow will do." Qiao Nan covered her nose. "Let me tell you. I have already eaten. You have to finish all the food that you have brought back." She had already decided to distance herself from the Feng family.

Hence, she dared not consume anything from the Feng family.

Shi Qing gave a scream in shock. "I specially brought them back for you. It's a roasted duck, the most famous roasted duck in the capital. Are you really not eating?"

"I'm full. It's already so late. I'm not eating. Moreover, I don't wish to become fat." Qiao Nan turned her head. Not to mention eating them, she was not even willing to look at the roasted duck. "Alright, I'm exhausted. There are solar energy panels in my master's house, and I stoked the fire the moment we arrived today. Fortunately, there was no explosion. We can have warm showers now. Do you want togo first?"

"The weather is so hot. Why are you taking a warm shower? It feels better to have a cold shower." Shi Qing was unhappy that Qiao Nan insisted that she bathed with warm water.

"Then, I will bathe first. Don't shower with cold water. If I find out... Haha, you will bear the consequences. You will have to settle your daily three meals yourself." Shi Qing was more extroverted. She was like a fake lad. Qiao Nan could not be bothered to tell Shi Qing so much about feminine care. This was because she knew that Shi Qing might not care even if she did.

What female ailments and cold uterus? At this point in time, Shi Qing could not register any of those words. Unless Shi Qing had suffered from these ailments, she would not understand them.

"Please don't. For the past few years, have I not listened to you every summer? Warm water... It's comfortable to bathe with warm water! Especially when you come out of the toilet, you will feel much cooler. Your highness Qiao, go ahead and bathe first. I will bathe later." Shi Qing spoke as if she was a lackey. If Qiao Nan did not cook for her anymore, she would have to starve to death. The food outside was not only expensive but also tasted awful.

Qiao Nan patted Shi Qing's 'dog head' satisfactorily as she took her pajamas into the toilet. She then gave herself a good wash from head to toe.

Although Qiao Nan had worn many precautionary gears during the daytime, Qiao Nan still felt that she was covered in dust. In particular, she felt that her strands of hair were sticking together.

From this day onward, Qiao Nan and Shi Qing formally began their life in college.

Qiao Nan copied the college timetable for Shi Qing and herself. She wrote a few copies and pasted them at various places lest she forgot the schedule if she were to lose any piece of them.

Besides attending compulsory lessons, Qiao Nan began to spend her spare time in the library.

As for the clubs, Qiao Nan had registered for a few of them.

Qiao Nan thought it would be hard to get into the most popular clubs. After all, she was not Tang Jiayun and did not have the latter's social skills. Hence, she could only register for a couple of small and new clubs that were related to language studies.

It was easy to get into this kind of club. Besides, there would be fewer activities.

Why were there fewer activities?

It was a new club and there were only a few members. Hence, they would have an even lesser budget.

Under the pretext of an insufficient budget, what were the major things that the club coulddo?

Out of convenience, Qiao Nan naturally opted for such clubs.

However, Qiao Nan was aware that this kind of club could not achieve anything great. Hence, to gain experience in social practice, Qiao Nan was very smart to look for the management of the Palace Museum. She volunteered to become a tour guide and interpreter for the museum.

Of course, although it was voluntary work, there were also requirements in order to volunteer at such a place.

If one did not meet the requirements, others would not accept them even if they forked out money, let alone doing voluntary work.

At this moment, as a student of Peking University, she seemed to hold a prerequisite certificate for the job. Once they heard that she was a student majoring in foreign language at Peking University, the management of the Palace Museum was willing to give Qiao Nan a chance.

Qiao Nan's standard of English in both speech and writing was good.

In addition, Qiao Nan was majoring in foreign language. She not only had come into contact with English but was also beginning to study other foreign languages, albeit not as much as English and was not as fluent in them.

In terms of international languages, it was, in fact, sufficient for Qiao Nan to be familiar with English only.

"Student Qiao, we welcome you to join us. Moving forward, unless you have lessons, you should come here during weekends or peak periods when there are many tourists. We are in desperate need of fresh blood and college students like you to help us." Who would not be happy to get a top student of Peking University's foreign language department to help them at no cost?

"I appreciate your guidance." Qiao Nan was happily smiling as well. After settling this voluntary job, Qiao Nan believed that she would do very well in her social practice.

After shuffling for an entire day, Qiao Nan's clothes were drenched when she returned to the small courtyard of the Lin family.

When Shi Qing saw Qiao Nan look so disheveled, she was puzzled. "Where did you go? Why do you smell of sweat? Quickly go and bathe. Didn't you say that Brother Zhai will be coming to the capital soon? You are always out of sight. Aren't you afraid that Brother Zhai can't find you when he arrives in the capital? Moreover, with you looking like that, you will scare Brother Zhai away."

Fortunately, Qiao Nan's skin was very fair and it was not easy for her to become tanned.

If others went out in this way like Qiao Nan, they would become little tanned ladies.

"If a man will run away so easily, why do I still want him? Is Brother Zhai someone so superficial?" Qiao Nan snorted proudly. In her previous life, she was blind. In this lifetime, she wiped her eyes until they were so bright.

Shi Qing curled the corners of her lips. "Qiao Nan, why do I feel that you blindly trust and admire Brother Zhai most of the time?"

No matter how outstanding or capable Brother Zhai was, he was an ordinary man. He would have to eat, drink, pee, poop, and sleep. He would reproduce. He would bleed like an ordinary man when he was injured.

To put it in a cliché way, actually, Brother Zhai would also have the common habits that a typical person had.

For example, Brother Zhai liked pretty girls.

If Qiao Nan was not pretty enough, she did not believe that Brother Zhai would be able to see through that so-so looks of her and admire her inner beauty.

Qiao Nan laughed guiltily. She did not elaborate further.

In actual fact, she did not only feel this way toward Brother Zhai. As long as it was soldiers wearing the army uniform, she would feel the same toward them.

Of course, Wei De, that weird one, was an exception.

Qiao Nan took a glance at the pile of materials on the table. She casually picked some of them up to read. Coincidentally, it was a book about guns. There were many pictures and explanations of various guns in it. It was very detailed. Qiao Nan flipped the book as she asked, "You're reading these? These are what Zhu Baoguo sent to you?"

"No." Shi Qing yawned. Qiao Nan was busy today but Shi Qing did not idle either. "I borrowed some of them from the library. Brother Zhai got someone to help me find some of these."

Qiao Nan closed the book. "Brother Zhai?" Did she hear her correctly?

Didn't Brother Zhai get Shi Qing to follow and protect her so that she would not be taken away by other 'wolves'? Now, would Brother Zhai support Shi Qing in changing the latter's course of studies?
