Chapter 1266: Love at First Sight

Mu Xinxin nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling in the sunlight, "Big Brother Lu, we can be friends..."

"Uh, alright then." Lu Hao, after all, was a soldier. His many years of military life had left him straightforward, and seeing the hopeful look on the girl’s face before him, he only hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

At this time, Qin Yize had already walked over.

Lu Hao had already stood at attention and saluted.

Mu Xinxin knew she couldn’t stay any longer, so she quickly turned around to leave.

But halfway through, Mu Xinxin suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

She stopped, frustrated.

How could she be so muddle-headed? She said she would write a letter, but she didn’t even get Lu Hao’s address.

What kind of letter could she write now?

Mu Xinxin looked back at the two people standing and talking, but it wasn’t convenient to ask Lu Hao for his address at this moment, so she had to walk towards Gu Qiaoqiao with a sense of helplessness.

Gu Qiaoqiao was there on her own.

Shang Qing and the others had long since run off to have fun.

An Xiaotong and Du Tian were inseparable, Xiao Wen was being pestered by Chu Chengfeng for a horse race, and Shang Qing was playing on the beach at Crescent Lake with Xiao Bai and Gu Muran.

Gu Qiaoqiao was on her own because she was about to leave. She wanted to check what couldn’t be left behind in the Mongolian yurt and what could be temporarily stored here.

With Lu Hao there, it wouldn’t be a problem for a year.

There really were a lot of things in the Mongolian yurt.

Even some nice items.

Gu Qiaoqiao roughly calculated that the furniture could be temporarily stored here, but the more valuable things needed to be taken away.

Gu Qiaoqiao sat on a stone slab thinking, Qiaoze Ranch had been given to Qin Yize.

Old Grand Master Qin did indeed favor Qin Yize, and logically, Qin Yize’s second uncle and third uncle also had a share here.

But Qin Yize’s second uncle was currently holed up at home, doing nothing.

He had also become much more honest.

This time, without Old Grand Master Qin’s intervention, the result for him and his son would have been predictable.

However, no matter what, although these two had ill intentions and had harassed others in the past life, neither in the past life nor this life had they escaped imprisonment.

So, in a way, evil met its end.

Therefore, the issue of assets really needed to be discussed with Old Grand Master Qin.

No matter what, it shouldn’t cause a rift among brothers or turn family into enemies over a small ranch.

What was tricky here was Qin Yize’s attitude. He was very relaxed about it, telling Gu Qiaoqiao not to overthink, and that what Great Grandfather gave should just be accepted, and nothing rightful for others would be missing.

Those words aside, Gu Qiaoqiao knew the reality behind these interests, so she had to think ahead.

While considering, she saw Mu Xinxin approaching her with a troubled look.

Then she sat next to Gu Qiaoqiao, her head down in quite a dejected manner.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at her curiously, "Xinxin, why didn’t you go to Crescent Lake to play with Shang Qing?"

"Nothing, just not in the mood..."

"Huh?" Gu Qiaoqiao blinked, "Mu Xinxin, what’s wrong?"

"I..." Mu Xinxin faltered, stopping herself.

"Did that kid Chu Chengfeng scare you again?"

"No, no, how could he have time to scare me? He’s racing horses with Sister Xiao Wen."

"Is it Gu Muran then?" Gu Qiaoqiao’s playfulness surfaced, teasing Mu Xinxin.

"No, he’s such a gentleman, he wouldn’t upset a girl..."

"So it’s not him or that, then what’s wrong with you?"

Mu Xinxin turned her head to look at Gu Qiaoqiao, biting her lip, unsure if she should tell her.

"Is something troubling you?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked, then added, "If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to say it."

She hadn’t noticed Mu Xinxin talking to Lu Hao earlier.

"It’s not that." Mu Xinxin mustered up her courage, a bit of starlight shining in her eyes, "Qiaoqiao, do you know Lu Hao’s contact address?"

"Lu Hao?" Gu Qiaoqiao was taken aback, then glanced at the young soldier talking to Qin Yize, then looked back at Mu Xinxin’s face.

It seemed she understood something.

"You mean that soldier Lu Hao?"

"Yes, him."

"Did you know each other before?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked tentatively.

At this point, Mu Xinxin steeled herself, no longer feeling shy and instead directly asked, "Qiaoqiao, do you believe in love at first sight?"

"Love at first sight? You fell for Lu Hao at first sight!" Gu Qiaoqiao murmured in response.

"Yes."

Gu Qiaoqiao’s clear eyes twinkled slightly, she understood.

She indeed believed in love at first sight.

That’s how it was with her and Qin Yize.

"I believe in it." Gu Qiaoqiao said with a smile.

"Qiaoqiao, don’t tell anyone else, alright?"

Mu Xinxin reminded her uneasily.

"Don’t worry, I won’t tell. But do you know much about Lu Hao?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked, half-seriously.

"Not really, but he just agreed I could write to him." As she said this, Mu Xinxin’s expression turned frustrated, "Qiaoqiao, but I forgot to ask for his address just now."

"Oh, do you really want to correspond with him?"

"Yes, yes." Mu Xinxin nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling with little stars, filled with longing, "I want to write to him, and then gradually, I’ll make him understand my feelings, and after I graduate, I’ll come find him..."

Gu Qiaoqiao sighed softly in her heart.

If it were someone else, she might not feel this way.

But this was Lu Hao.

Lu Hao himself was great.

Affectionate, righteous, selfless, a person with a dignified appearance.

It’s just, he had that kind of family.

As of now, Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t found the opportunity to ask about Lu Hao’s family situation, but she knew in her heart that his parents, brother, and two sisters were not very reputable.

The landlady seemed to be a gentle person and very capable. If Gu Qiaoqiao hadn’t analyzed it wrong, she gave all her earnings to the family.

But eventually, the whole family cast her out.

Such a family, for someone as simple as Mu Xinxin, seemed a bit pitiful.

However, you can’t judge entirely just by this.

After all, Lu Hao is worthy of being liked by a good girl.

Besides, it’s a bit too early to think about these things.

Gu Qiaoqiao still asked, "What impression does Lu Hao have of you?"

Hearing Gu Qiaoqiao’s words, Mu Xinxin’s expression darkened, and Gu Qiaoqiao knew this was one-sided affection.

Mu Xinxin said dejectedly, "He seems to not even know who I am."

Gu Qiaoqiao chuckled.

Patting Mu Xinxin’s shoulder, "Xinxin, this is just your second meeting, neither of you knows anything, don’t plunge in headfirst, make sure to understand things first."

"Understand what?"

"Understand his family and all that..."

"I just want to understand him, not his family."

Mu Xinxin said carelessly.
