First, more.

"Birthday gift …"
Qin Fang looked at the small box in his mother's hand with a confused look on his face. It seemed that he had never seen these things in the past ten years. It was like a set of jewelry that had been treated as a family heirloom.
However, the mother and son knew each other best. Since it was something that his mother had taken out, Qin Fang had to accept it.
Taking the small box in his hand, Qin Fang secretly opened it and took a look.
"Mom, this is …"
He saw that the small box had a simple shape and seemed to have been around for a long time. It was covered with a layer of golden silk cloth, and in the middle of the silk cloth lay a bullet.
That's right. What was placed in the box was not the jade or jade that Qin Fang had imagined. Instead, it was a bullet, a bullet that seemed to have been around for a long time. Qin Fang could even see the mottled rust on it.
"Don't ask too much about this. Just remember to send it as a birthday gift when the time comes …"
However, Qin Qing didn't seem to want to talk about this. She just said this very simply and hurriedly got out of Qin Fang's car. It seemed that she was going to go back to sleep.
After his mother left, Qin Fang's doubts naturally stayed and lingered in his mind for a long time. He always felt that the mother that he was so familiar with suddenly became very strange …
In other words, Qin Fang felt that his mother had hidden too many things from him.
However, his mother refused to tell him, so Qin Fang didn't ask too much. He could only wait for the time to mature. He believed that his mother would definitely explain to him.
This night was the last night that he would spend at home. At least before the New Year, Qin Fang most likely wouldn't have time to come back. It was precisely because of this that Qin Qing specially told Qin Fang this.
Just like the previous two days, not long after Qin Qing returned to the room, she saw that the lights in the room were turned off and the women had already gone to bed.
Qin Fang was also quite bored. He took out his mobile phone and simply played for a while. He didn't find anything interesting, so he wrapped himself in the quilt and prepared to sleep.
That was how it was in the countryside. At night, there wasn't much entertainment. Most of the time, they would just watch TV or something. Those who had some hobbies, such as playing cards or mahjong, might even sleep a little later …
Qin Fang gradually fell asleep in a daze …
Du du du du ~ ~
Qin Fang was not a very deep sleeper. Sometimes, even the slightest movement could wake him up. For example, Qin Fang vaguely heard some knocking sounds nearby. He got up and looked in the direction of the sound.
The night was hazy, the moonlight was bright, and the night was as cold as water.
A slender girl in a red down jacket was standing outside Qin Fang's car. Her face could be vaguely seen.
Of course it couldn't be a ghost!
"Little Juan?"
Through the glass of the car window, Qin Fang was very surprised to see the pretty face outside. It was actually Tao Xiaojuan.
Although Ninghai was a famous hot city in the country, in fact, the temperature was very cold in winter. In addition, because it was close to the Yangtze River, the air was relatively moist. The coldness made people feel a burst of bone-chilling coldness all the time …
Tao Xiaojuan didn't wear very little clothes, but girls were like this. Even in such a cold winter, they still had to keep their figure slim. Naturally, the clothes were not particularly thick.
At this moment, in such a night, in the bone-chilling night wind, her snow-white little face was red from the cold, and her lips were even a little purple. She stood there like this, constantly stamping her feet to keep warm.
"Come in quickly …"
Although Qin Fang was very puzzled about why Tao Xiaojuan came so late, he couldn't watch her freezing outside. He immediately opened the door and pulled Tao Xiaojuan in.
"Brother Xiao Fang …"
Tao Xiaojuan was really cold. When she called Qin Fang, her voice was constantly trembling. It looked very pitiful.
"Don't talk. Hurry up and warm up …"
Qin Fang naturally couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He immediately wrapped Tao Xiaojuan with the quilt that covered him. Fortunately, the heater in the car was on. It was much better than outside …
Without the cold wind blowing, and with the quilt and heater blowing, Tao Xiaojuan's body gradually warmed up. Her little face, which was frozen white, gradually became rosy at this time, like a ripe apple. It looked very attractive.
"It's so late. Why did a little girl like you come out?
Aren't you afraid of being eaten by a wolf … "
Seeing that Tao Xiaojuan's complexion improved a lot, Qin Fang was relieved, but then he frowned and said very unhappily.
Of course, this was a joke. This was not a deep forest. How could there be wolves? At most, there were a few dogs, but they wouldn't come out to bite people.
"I … I … Brother Xiao Fang, are you leaving tomorrow?"
When Tao Xiaojuan heard Qin Fang's words, her eyes suddenly became slightly red. The tears in her eyes began to roll, and then she asked in an extremely pitiful tone.
"Don't … Little girl, let's not use this trick, okay?"
When he saw the tears in Tao Xiaojuan's eyes, Qin Fang was suddenly at a loss. The Tao Xiaojuan in his memory was like this, the kind who loved to cry. He didn't expect that after not seeing her for so many years, this habit of hers still hadn't changed.
"I'm leaving tomorrow. I still have classes at school, and I have something to do in the capital …" Qin Fang naturally didn't need to hide the fact that he was leaving.
"Brother Xiao Fang, you … in the future … are you going to … marry Sister Feifei?"
Tao Xiaojuan seemed to be very hesitant and tangled. After hesitating for a long time, she asked in a very soft voice. At the same time, her pretty face was extremely nervous. Her pair of beautiful eyes were fixed on Qin Fang's face. It seemed that she was looking forward to it, but also seemed to be very worried.
Qin Fang's expression was slightly stunned. He looked at Tao Xiaojuan in front of him. Looking at this little girl who used to drag her nose and play behind him, he recalled what his mother said before and understood Tao Xiaojuan's purpose.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be …"
Qin Fang didn't hesitate this time and nodded gently.
As long as he didn't break up with Tang Feifei, this matter was basically settled. Perhaps they couldn't get married for the time being, but it was possible that they would be engaged first …
Of course, this still depended on the arrangements of the Tang Family, as well as the plans of him and Tang Feifei …
Hearing Qin Fang's answer, Tao Xiaojuan's pretty face suddenly turned pale. Her eyes also became hollow in an instant, and all the light disappeared in an instant …
Qin Fang pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but in the end, he chose to remain silent. Tao Xiaojuan grew up with him. Although they were childhood sweethearts, Qin Fang already had enough women around him. He didn't want to add more.
Tao Xiaojuan's father, Tao Yihai, was also quite good to Qin Fang. In the past, he even teased Qin Fang, saying that Qin Fang was already his son-in-law, but it was just a joke.
The matter between Qin Fang and Tang Feifei was basically settled. If Tao Xiaojuan joined, then she was destined to have no status. The Qin and Tao Families were so close. If such a thing really happened, then it would be really lively in the future …
It was also because of this consideration that Qin Fang decided to refuse even though he knew that Tao Xiaojuan had feelings for him … Otherwise, he was also worried that the relationship between the Qin and Tao Families would be strained.
"But … but … but you said you would marry me …"
However, Tao Xiaojuan didn't seem to want to give up just like that. Her hollow eyes suddenly bloomed with some light, and she said very nervously.
"Uh …"
Qin Fang was stunned. Obviously, he was also a little confused by Tao Xiaojuan's words.
In his impression, Qin Fang was always so dull and not good with words. He shouldn't be good at picking up girls … So, Qin Fang was suddenly stunned.
"When I was very young, you said that you would marry me as your bride … Brother Xiao Fang, have you forgotten?"
Qin Fang's shock seemed to have given Tao Xiaojuan a glimmer of hope. She immediately said excitedly. The light in her eyes became more and more intense, and the expression on her face was incomparably nervous.
"This … That was when I was young. It can't be taken seriously …"
When Qin Fang heard that it was something that happened when they were young, he thought that it must have been said when they played a game like playing house. Of course, it couldn't be taken seriously. If it could be taken seriously, then some people might have countless wives.
"But … I'm serious!
When I was very young, I wanted to be Brother Xiao Fang's bride … "
Tao Xiaojuan almost said this sentence with tears in her eyes. Qin Fang looked at her and felt extremely worried. He was not the kind of man who could bear a woman's tears. This was a considerable weakness of his.
"I …"
Qin Fang opened his mouth. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
Looking at Tao Xiaojuan's sad and beautiful face, Qin Fang's heart suddenly moved. He immediately used the Mind Reading Technique on Tao Xiaojuan. Soon, all her inner thoughts were transmitted to Qin Fang's mind …
It could be said that this was the first time Qin Fang had met Tao Xiaojuan so clearly in recent years. In the past, he always came back and left in a hurry. Qin Fang's impression of Tao Xiaojuan was still that young and inexperienced girl from a few years ago. He didn't expect that when he came back this time, he would find that the young and inexperienced girl had now grown into a rather mature woman …
Even his memories were still stuck in that era. Qin Fang's feelings for Tao Xiaojuan were naturally still that of a simple childhood playmate and little sister …
