Chapter 62: The Nie Manor Visit (Part 2)

  "Oh, Qian Liye? Your school teacher? How old is he? Where's his hometown? What do his parents do?" Nie Father's face was a bit stuck with a series of questions. "That's our teacher, probably under thirty years old, from Hunan province, I don't know what his parents do, humph." Nie Sisi suddenly realized that when her father asked him these questions, except for Qian Liye's name, he didn't know anything else. In fact, Nie Sisi had even more unknowns - she wasn't even sure if the name Qian Liye was real.

  "Approximately? Seemingly? Don't know? Didn't you say that was the person you liked? You don't know anything, what's the point of that? Moreover, you're still engaged, didn't you learn about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues since childhood? Hmm? Is this really my spoiled daughter?

  Nie Father let out a series of coughs, looking at Wang Mingyu with a bit of helplessness.

  Wang Mingyu also didn't expect things to turn out so coincidentally, saying: "I know Qian Liye, I've even met him before!"

  "Have you met him? How come I don't know?" Nie Sisi curiously stared at Wang Mingyu and asked. "Hehe, it's about some things, of course, you wouldn't be convenient to know!" What Wang Mingyu said was indeed the truth. Qian Lixing had pulled him into partnership, and Wang Mingyu really wanted to join in, but it wasn't the right time yet, so he couldn't possibly expose Qian Lixing's identity.

  "What's so great about him, I'll just ask him when I meet him." Nie Sisi muttered to herself in annoyance. In fact, Nie Sisi had a secret crush on Qian Liye, and it could be said that many girls in their school had a secret crush on him too. But Nie Sisi was exceptionally beautiful, so she naturally thought she had an advantage. However, Nie Sisi probably didn't even realize that her so-called secret love was actually just admiration, and hadn't reached the point of making her heart skip a beat. After being encouraged by a few people, she naturally thought to herself that she must be in love with Teacher Qian Liye.

  Wang Mingyu didn't care about Nie Sisi's thoughts, and smiled at Nie Zheng: "Uncle Nie, since Sisi already has someone she likes, I think we can forget about the marriage arrangement. Nowadays people talk about free love, and as young people of a new generation, let's just follow the trend!"

  Uncle Nie sighed, "Xian nephew, I'm really sorry to you. I didn't expect this girl would be like this. Don't take it to heart, such a good man shouldn't be wasted on her. She'll regret it later!"

  Wang Mingyu smiled and said: "Nie Bobo, you're overpraising me."

  Nie Sisi glared at Wang Mingyu and muttered: "Whoever regrets it is a little dog..."

  Nie's father glared at Nie Sisi fiercely, then turned around and smiled at Wang Mingyu: "Since things have come to this point, I won't interfere anymore. Everything will be up to you young people from now on. Ah, my virtuous nephew, accompany your Uncle Nie for a good drink at noon today, it's been several years since we last met."

  Wang Mingyu nodded and said: "Alright, I've handed over everything these past few days. This afternoon I still have to rush to Shanghai for a trip."

  Nie Sisi heard that Wang Mingyu was going to Shanghai and said: "Can you take me with you on the way?"

  Wang Mingyu said strangely: "Didn't you just come back?"

  Nie Sisi lowered her head and said: "I don't want to stay at home, I'm bored to death. I have several classmates in Shanghai, I want to go over and play."

  "Alright, alright. A girl can't stay at home forever, her mind is always on external things, let her be. However, my good nephew, you must help me take care of Sisi, she's my only daughter!"

  Wang Mingyu patted his chest and guaranteed: "No problem, I also treat her as a younger sister."

  Nie's father shook his head at the two of them and sighed before walking out.

  Nie Sisi looked at Wang Mingyu and didn't speak, suddenly feeling like she didn't know him anymore. The previous Wang Mingyu was notorious, just like a rat crossing the street with everyone shouting to hit it. Now, Wang Mingyu is different, how can I put it, completely changed from before, whether in speech or temperament, a complete reversal. If she had met this Wang Mingyu at first, Nie Sisi might have already been the young mistress of the Wang family. However, things are unpredictable, three years ago, the shadow in Nie Sisi's heart still lingered, and she couldn't let go, was his change real? What did it have to do with her? Unconsciously, Nie Sisi compared Wang Mingyu to Qian Liye, feeling that Qian Liye was still outstanding, although Wang Mingyu had changed a lot, in her eyes, it's easy to change the world but hard to change one's nature!

  Actually, Nie SiSi has changed from her previous disdain to now comparing herself to the person she considers to be her soulmate in her heart, this transformation had already begun unintentionally.

  Only Wang Mingyu and Nie Sisi were left in the room.

  Nie Sisi suddenly asked: "Where are you working now? Wasn't it assigned to the troops after graduation?"

  Wang Mingyu said: "Yes, the troops are now busy training, I'm taking some time out to deal with some personal matters!"

  Nie Si's thoughts reached a possibility, and he didn't know why, but his heart felt a little sour, so he asked: "Are you going to Shanghai for personal business?"

  Wang Mingyu was taken aback and then said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

  Niesi stared at him for a while before saying: "You're going to see your girlfriend, aren't you?"

  "Huh?" Wang Mingyu was taken aback and asked: "How did you know?"

  Niesi said with a sour tone: "Someone used to be so famous in our school, and even the flowers in our school were picked by you. How can we not pay attention? I thought I had mistaken someone at that time!"

  Wang Mingyu suddenly smiled and said: "That... actually... that day..."

  Niesi burst out laughing and said, "Haha, our King Dashi has been through so many romantic entanglements, but in the end, he's learned to be shy. How strange is that?"

  Wang Mingyu listened to Nie Sisi's sarcastic words, and had no way to refute them. After all, the first thing he did after being reborn into this world was to take advantage of the girl in front of him. He could only sigh inwardly: "Why is it so hard to change one's ways? It's been years since then, how can this little girl still remember?"

  Nie Sisi looked at Wang Mingyu and said, "Tell me, how did you deceive Sun Xue?"

  Wang Mingyu thought that since nothing was going to happen anyway, he might as well practice his eloquence and told everything about saving Sun Xue and so on. Deep down inside, Wang Mingyu still hoped that Nie Sisi could change her opinion of him.

  Nie Sisi listened and felt a bit unbelievable, curiously asking: "You didn't find some hoodlum, did you?"

  Wang Mingyu heard this and his face turned red, he choked for half a day before finally managing to squeeze out a sentence: "Damn!", thinking to himself that from now on his image in Nie Sisi's heart was completely ruined.

  "What do I mean?" Nie Sisi looked at Wang Mingyu with a puzzled expression and asked. "This... roughly means that I feel suffocated." Wang Mingyu thought for a moment before saying, it's just a verbal habit, but he really hadn't studied what it meant. "What are you feeling suffocated about?" Nie Sisi asked again. "Nothing, I just feel suffocated sometimes!"

  "Why be so reserved?"

  "That's because I feel suffocated in my heart."

  "Why?"

  "Good day!"

  "Really?"

  Wang Mingyu was completely speechless. What the hell is going on? He's totally a reincarnation of Tang Monk, Amitabha!

  After settling Nie Sisi, Wang Mingyu finally let out a sigh of relief. However, regarding Wang Mingyu saving Sun Xue, although Nie Sisi believed it, she was still unwilling to think highly of Wang Mingyu, and the reason for this is unknown.

  At Nie's house, Mr. and Mrs. Nie had a sumptuous lunch with Wang Mingyu, drank some wine, and then Nie Sisi packed her things and prepared to go to Shanghai with Wang Mingyu.

  Fortunately, there was no drunk driving involved this time, otherwise Wang Mingyu would definitely be a typical representative of drunk driving. Wang Mingyu wore his lieutenant colonel uniform and drove with Nie Sisi all the way to Shanghai.

  On the road.

  "What do you plan to do after graduation?" Wang Mingyu asked, seeing that sitting in the car was boring. "I haven't thought about it yet, I want to be a nurse, but I'm also afraid of not doing well!" Nie Sisi said helplessly. "What did you study in school?"

  "Nursing profession!"

  "Well, being a nurse is also good, didn't Uncle Nian find a good job for you?"

  "I don't want him to find me, I want to be independent, I want to live on with my own ability!"

  "Hmm, not bad! By the way, our unit is going to set up a field hospital, are you interested in joining?"

  "Your unit? Field hospital?"

  "Yes, I'm thinking of finding some girls to be nurses. When the war breaks out, medical personnel will be in short supply. This job is not bad when there's no war, but once the war starts, it'll be quite dangerous. If you want to go, think carefully!" Wang Mingyu reminded kindly. However, in Nie Sisi's opinion, this was just a way of looking down on her. Her face flushing red, she said: "Go then! You're not afraid of danger, what am I afraid of? Hmph!"

  "Huh? I'm a soldier, even if there's danger, I have to go up anyway. You're different, you still have the right to choose now. Everyone's way of life is different, I hope you won't regret your choice in the future because of a momentary impulse."

  "Don't underestimate people, I've already made up my mind! Do you have connections to get me in?" Nie Sisi asked uncertainly. "I said it counts!" Wang Mingyu said in a low voice, he also didn't know whether letting Nie Sisi go to the field hospital was right or wrong, and just spoke his mind.

  Nie Sisi dozed off in the car, and the rest of the journey was uneventful. The enchanting scenery along the road gradually faded into darkness, and Wang Mingyu finally arrived in Shanghai after driving all night.
