When I woke up, I was entangled by a rough guy with eight-pack abs

Ning Ying was inexplicably happy and didn't realize how brisk her steps were as she ran towards the figure.

When she was about to bump into the man's back, she stopped, calmed down, and called out, "Qin Zhao?"

The man turned around and bared his white teeth at Ning Ying: "Sister Ning, it's me."

Sheng Gang and Qin Zhao were of similar height. He had worked as a flight attendant for a year and had gained some weight. After returning to the army and resuming training, and participating in flood fighting for nearly two months, he had almost returned to his previous thin figure. From a distance, his back looked somewhat similar to Qin Zhao's.

Ning Ying's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then she smiled and said, "Did Qin Zhao ask you to pick up the goods this time?"

"Yes, the recent rains in Shancheng have been much lighter, and the flood control work has entered its final stage. It will basically be handed over to the local departments. Brother Zhao has already returned to Beijing to report, leaving us a few minions to finish the work."

Ning Ying raised her eyebrows: "Qin Zhao got promoted?"

Sheng Gang then realized that Qin Zhao had not told Ning Ying his military rank and title. He almost let it slip just now, so he quickly explained, "Hahaha, the higher-ups said that Brother Zhao performed outstandingly in this flood relief operation. He will most likely be awarded when he returns. It's only a matter of time before he gets promoted."

"Then when you meet him, help me say congratulations."

Sheng Gang winked at her and said, "Sister Ning, it would be meaningless if I were to convey this message. You have to congratulate her in person."

"Okay, give him a call some other day. By the way, Brother Gang, have you eaten yet? I'll treat you."

Sheng Gang rolled his eyes and said, "Sister Ning, you don't know that our group has been wandering outside for a long time. We are tired of eating outside and just want to have some hot home-cooked meals."

"Then let's go to my house for dinner?"

"That's the best. I can try Sister Ning's cooking at the same time."

"Let me be frank with you. My cooking skills are average, but my sister's are pretty good. How about letting my sister cook a few of her signature dishes for you?"

Sheng Gang's eyebrows immediately flew up: "Then I'll trouble Sister Nana."

Ning Ying understood everything. He was not just craving for home-cooked food. He obviously wanted to see Ning Na.

After having been in contact with Sheng Gang for such a long time, she still recognized his character. Moreover, she always felt that although her sister had returned to Rose City, she was always depressed and worried.

Although she didn't know what her sister and Zheng Zheng had experienced, she thought that if she got involved in a new relationship, she might be able to forget that unforgettable relationship.

Whether it was Gu Jin or Sheng Gang, as long as that person was not Zheng Zheng, she would be happy to help them get together.

"Come to think of it, you are two months older than my sister, so you can't call her sister. Girls will be unhappy if you do that."

Sheng Gang rubbed his hands and said, "Then I should call her Nana?"

"This is much more pleasing to the ear."

After arriving home, Nina greeted Sheng warmly. As soon as he entered the house, he felt awkward and at a loss. He went into the kitchen and clumsily helped Nina.

Sheng Gang was already tall and strong, and the kitchen seemed even smaller and cramped after he came in.

Seeing the two of them chatting idly in the kitchen, Ning Ying went to the street to buy some cooked food to give them a chance to be alone.

After Ning Na saw her leave, she asked cautiously, "Gangzi, how is the prisoner you arrested at the Wancheng Railway Station?"

Sheng Gang was a straightforward person. He didn't think too much and blurted out, "You mean the guy named Zheng? He's smart. He had nothing to do with what I did, but he told me all about it. Plus, the Zheng family had some money to fill the hole. The guy also made meritorious contributions, but he was only sentenced to one year in prison for obstructing public service. I guess he'll be released by this time next year."

Ningna scratched her finger while peeling potatoes, and blood immediately gushed out.

Sheng Gang bandaged her in a panic: "Why are you so careless? Just sit aside and wait, and I will take care of the rest."

Ning Na murmured: "Very good, very good..."

When Ning Ying returned, the table was already filled with dishes.

Ning Na smiled and told her to wash her hands: "Come and try the food Gangzi made."

"Brother Gang made this? Wow, you are a great chef."

Sheng Gang smiled and scratched his head, not forgetting to say a few good words for his good brother: "It's just so-so, far inferior to Brother Zhao, his cooking is the best, Sister Ning must try it herself someday."

Ning Ying smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to Jingping after I'm done with this, and I'll definitely try his cooking skills then."

"You're going to Jingping?"

"Well, I'm doing some personal business and paying off the Manchu-Han banquet I owed Qin Zhao."

"That's great! Brother Zhao would be so happy if he knew you were going to Jingping!"

After dinner, he must tell Qin Zhao the good news.

Ning Ying smiled. She went to Jingping not to renew her relationship with Qin Zhao, but to cut off the evil relationship with Zhou Hongyang.

He has been comfortable outside for so long, it's time for him to enjoy the baptism of the storm.

The three of them finished their dinner chatting and laughing. Seeing Ning Na getting up to clean up the table, Sheng Gang quickly took over: "Nana, your hand is injured, let me wash it!"

"It's just a minor injury, it's okay."

"No, that won't work. If it gets irritated, it will be very painful. A woman's hands are her second face, so they must be well protected. I'm a rough man and I don't care."

"Then trouble you."

"We are all family, so what's the trouble?"

Ning Ying couldn't help but cough. Sheng Gang was too straightforward and couldn't hide his thoughts.

"Well... well, what I mean is that we have been through hardships together in Wancheng, so we are like brothers and sisters, and of course we are a family."

Seeing Ning Na's unhappy expression, Ning Ying immediately glared at him and said, "If you don't want to say anything, just shut up. You are such a living hell."

When Sheng Gang was about to leave, Ning Ying went to see him off: "Brother Gang, can you please stop mentioning things about Wancheng in front of my sister? Don't you know that it is my sister's sad place?"

Sheng Gang smacked his mouth twice: "Oh no, I told Nana about Zheng Zheng."

"Did you tell her that, or did she ask?"

"She asked me that and I blurted out everything."

It seems that her sister still can't let go of Zheng Zheng. Ning Ying clenched her fingers immediately. She remembered some fragments sporadically in her dreams these days. The criminal police in charge of the case asked her to sign, and she seemed to see Zheng Zheng's name in the information column.

If the twins in his sister's belly were Zheng Zheng's, then why did he watch his sister die tragically and couldn't even keep his own children?

Now she didn't want to trace back so many causes and effects. She only knew that if she wanted to protect her sister, she had to keep her away from Zheng Zheng, a dangerous man.

"Brother Gang, if you want to pursue my sister, pursue her well, and remember not to mention Zheng Zheng in front of my sister!"

Sheng Gang rubbed his hands happily and said, "So you agree that I can pursue Nana?"

"As long as you are good to my sister, I have no reason to object. But I warn you, if anyone dares to hurt my sister, I will be the first one to not let him go!"

After Ning Ying returned home, the two sisters tacitly did not mention Sheng Gang. Ning Na only asked about the exam during the day.

"I don't know if I can make it, I'll just leave it to fate."

Ning Ying has had a good memory since she was young, so she will definitely have no problem with the knowledge points she has reviewed, but for the knowledge that she has not reviewed in the later stage, it would be like a blind man groping in the dark.

"That won't work. Our Xiaoying must go to college. Even if it doesn't work this year, we can try again next year. I will support you even if I have to sell everything I have!"

Ning Ying felt sad. Compared with her own future, she hoped that her sister could live a long, happy and healthy life.

Sheng Gang picked up the last batch of goods early in the morning. When he left, he said hello to Ning Ying: "Sister Ning, I'm leaving. Don't forget to tell Brother Zhao."

"Okay, I'll call him using the factory phone in a minute."

"Also, that guy called Jinyin in your factory is really a piece of shit. I was just loading some goods, but he was picking on me. You better be careful of this thief in the future."

Ning Ying seemed to know the reason and smiled immediately: "Brother Gang, take care on your way."

When it was time for lunch, Ning Ying borrowed the office phone and dialed the army's number.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Zhao has finally waited so long for you to come here, and you don't even know that he..."
