Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1123 - Likewise, Congratulations

1123 Likewise, Congratulations

“If there are areas that you dislike, you can tell Dongzi and watch his reaction. So what if you wish to be a princess? I believe you can definitely find a man who is true to you and willing to dote on you like a princess.”

Qiao Nan’s sixth sense told her that Tian Dong might be this man.

Qiao Nan was very eloquent and Zhai Hua had always listened to Qiao Nan. Before she knew it, Zhai Hua had been coaxed out of the room.

It was only when Zhai Hua returned to her room and lay on the bed did she come to her senses. She seemed to have been tricked by Qiao Nan.

Before she could jump up and settle scores with Qiao Nan, her cell phone rang.

Initially, she did not want to pick up the call when she sighted an unfamiliar phone number. Her finger was already on the rejection button, but it changed direction and pressed the accepted button instead. “Hello, good day.”

“It’s me.”

“...Dongzi?”

“Yes, this is my cell phone number. Save it in your address book so that we can keep in touch.” After leaving these words behind, Tian Dong hung up the phone. He didn’t even say ‘goodnight’.

Fortunately, the big-hearted Zhai Hua did not mind at all. She even abidingly saved Tian Dong’s contact in her cell phone.

After saving it, she then questioned, “I don’t even know Dongzi’s cell phone number. How did he know mine? Who gave it to him?”

Zhai Hua’s late spring seemed to have finally reported, and Qiao Nan was also doing very well in her studies.

Same as the news that Xu Shengnan had given Qiao Nan earlier, Qiao Nan’s grades for various subjects were outstanding. Her aggregate score was a cut above the rest. She had been given the school-based first-prize scholarship.

During the class, the professor had already told Qiao Nan with certainty that she had received the scholarship.

As one could imagine, everyone was full of shock and envy when they heard this news. Forget it that she had achieved the first-prize scholarship, but she even attained the school-based first-prize scholarship! Qiao Nan, this classmate, was truly the cream of the crop.

Everyone was sitting in the same classroom. Who was not a top student before they came to college?

However, Qiao Nan stood out among the group of top students. She had an extraordinary capability. It would not do if she lacked behind a little in intelligence and capability.

Hence, the glory that came with this school-based first-prize scholarship was a lot more than what Qiao Nan had imagined.

Qiao Nan did not care much about what others think. Xu Shengnan had given her advice earlier. In addition, she had met those few dormitory mates during her last semester. As such, besides focusing on her studies, Qiao Nan was not too interested in making friends in the school.

Qiao Nan also learned something from Xu Shengnan.

Given her current situation, instead of becoming good friends with classmates of the same cohort, she would rather interact more with her seniors.

If that could not work, she would pick those who were not from the same faculty so that there would be no competition.

She was now almost crushed by the heavy workload of studies and social practice. If she still had to spend so much time and energy on interpersonal relationships, Qiao Nan knew that that would be too tiring.

It was not so easy to attain the first-prize scholarship. She would have to say goodbye to it if she were to slack a little.

Qiao Nan was also fortunate to have made many friends in the new English club. In the eyes of ordinary people, Qiao Nan was not considered the arrogant kind who would look down on others. She was also not a dim-witted nerd.

When the professors in the school assessed the students’ performance, they couldn’t get to the bottom of everything.

Qiao Nan had good performances in academic results, social practice, and interpersonal skills. Given these three factors, the professors’ assessments of Qiao Nan was quite good.

Qiao Nan was well aware of this situation.

She silently made adjustments to her study plan for this semester. Qiao Nan was having a meal alone in Canteen One of the school, ignoring the eyes on her.

Qiao Nan did not bother about the deliberate cold shoulders given by others.

A mediocre person would not be the envy of others.

One had to know that Qiao Nan had already encountered such a situation previously when she just entered senior high school.

When she was in high school, Qiao Nan could already deal with this. Now that she was in college, she had no reason to become weaker emotionally. The only difference was that, when she was in senior high school, Qiao Nan was still willing to spend time and effort to build up good relationships. Now, Qiao Nan felt that her current social circle was enough. In addition, this social circle did not need to necessarily include classmates from the same cohort.

Qiao Nan was not the least affected by others as she enjoyed her meal. However, those who were watching her were not as indifferent.

Yu Xiaoxiao took a few deep breaths to ease her expression, which had been stiff for a few days. This was so that she could force a little smile out of the muscles on her face.

Initially, Yu Xiaoxiao was not successful. However, when she saw that extremely distorted face of Lü Yan, Yu Xiaoxiao relaxed immediately and could really smile.

In comparison to Qiao Nan’s school-based first-prize scholarship, Yu Xiaoxiao only received a third-prize scholarship.

Yu Xiaoxiao consoled herself that, at the very least, she had received a scholarship. Lü Yan and Tang Jiayun did not even receive any.

As for Qiao Nan...

That was Mount Everest which was beyond her reach. She was afraid that her neck would be sprained if she were to keep lifting her head and hoping to climb it.

When Qiao Nan placed the plate and utensils to the designated cutlery collection point, Yu Xiaoxiao walked over and said briefly, “Congratulations.”

Qiao Nan was surprised and puzzled when she lifted her head. She then realized that Yu Xiaoxiao was the one who said congratulations. “Thank you. Congratulations to you too.” If she did not remember it wrongly, Yu Xiaoxiao also received a scholarship.

There were four people in the dormitory. Half of the people in this ‘former’ dormitory had received scholarships. Hence, some people had been discussing it.

When Qiao Nan was sitting by the side, she heard someone mention this. Hence, she had some impression.

Yu Xiaoxiao blushed slightly, her eyes turning gentle and smiley. “I am far behind in comparison to you. If there is something that I am not sure of in the future, can I consult you?’

Everyone liked to hear good words. Everyone hoped that others would affirm them for being outstanding.

Although Yu Xiaoxiao might feel disappointed that she only received a third-prize scholarship, she also received something. After all, only a minority of the students received scholarships.

It was definitely an honor for her name to be remembered by someone who received the school-based first-prize scholarship.

“I spend very little time in school. I am in the library most of the time.” There was a flash in Qiao Nan’s eyes. Was Yu Xiaoxiao trying to curry favor with her so that they could become closer?

It was not a big deal to share her learning experience with classmates. Qiao Nan was never petty in this aspect.

However, the situation with these three dormitory mates in college was much more serious than that when she was in senior high school.

She was not Virgin Mary and she had been plotted against many times. Could she still smile and treat the other party as a good teacher and friend and learn and improve together with her?

Yu Xiaoxiao was a smart person. She understood that Qiao Nan’s words were a form of rejection.

However, Yu Xiaoxiao did not want to give up. “Right, you don’t stay in school. Where are you staying now that you’ve moved out? Sometimes, I also feel that it is more convenient to rent a place outside. I wish to be your neighbor. Do you think that will work?”
