Chapter 148 They are such a good match
Jiang Linkai was reaching out to get the drink in front of Nan Qiao, but when he heard this, he paused and subconsciously looked in the direction of Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao was eating the food on the plate with his head slightly lowered, concentrating on it. His peaceful appearance seemed to have a special kind of attraction.
Jiang Linkai's heart seemed to be gently bumped, but he immediately came to his senses, put on a polite smile, and responded to the elder: "Uncle, I just finished the college entrance examination. I have been working hard to prepare for the exam. I really don't have the time to talk about a girlfriend."
The elder nodded in understanding, then asked enthusiastically, "That's right, studies are more important."
"Xiao Lin Kai, which university are you planning to attend next? And what major are you planning to enroll in?"
Jiang Linkai sat up straight, his face suddenly filled with confidence, and his voice was full of pride. He said loudly, "I have filled out my application. I have applied to Peking University and selected the major of International Relations."
"I thought that in the future I could learn more about the affairs of different countries on the international stage, and maybe even contribute to our country's international exchanges."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people around him looked at him with approval and kept expressing their admiration.
Jiang's father and mother, who had been silent the whole time, also looked at their son with pride, and from time to time they talked to those who complimented him at the dinner table.
For a moment, Jiang Linkai became one of the hot topics of discussion at the banquet, and everyone started talking about his choice.
Grandma Jiang's face was filled with a warm smile, and she asked kindly, "Xiao Qiao, what about you? Where are you planning to go to college?"
Nan Qiao gently swallowed the food in her mouth, with a hint of smile on her lips, and replied: "Grandma Jiang, I am also going to Peking University."
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Grandma Jiang's eyes were full of surprise. She looked at Jiang Linkai with a smile, "Now, Xiao Qiao and our Lin Kai are schoolmates again."
Jiang Linkai's already bright eyes sparkled even brighter. He looked at Nan Qiao with surprise, his handsome features tinged with a smile, and his voice was filled with joy: "You're also studying at Peking University? What's your major?"
"Biology major." Nan Qiao answered straightforwardly, her clear eyes sparkling with longing for college life.
"Well, Peking University is very big. If you need any help at school in the future, you can come to me." The joy in Jiang Linkai's eyes seemed to be overflowing. He looked at Nan Qiao with enthusiasm that could not be concealed in his eyes.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Will you be living on campus when school starts?"
Nan Qiao nodded slightly and said, "I'll probably stay for a while."
She thought to herself that she had never experienced college boarding life before, so she decided to try living there for a while. If she was too busy, she could move back to Xingmeng Bay.
"Then I'll help you move your luggage when school starts." Jiang Linkai raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a big smile. The look in his eyes when he looked at Nan Qiao was particularly gentle?
Nan Qiao also smiled, her eyes curved like crescent moons. She nodded and said, "Okay, thank you in advance, Jiang."
Jiang's father and mother sat at the table, their eyes full of satisfaction. Their gaze moved back and forth between Jiang Linkai and Nan Qiao, and the gratified smile on their lips never disappeared.
When the other people at the table saw this, a hint of mischief flashed in their eyes and they couldn't help but make fun of it.
"Look at Lin Kai and Xiao Qiao, they look so good together!" someone said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, someone immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, they are really a perfect match! Moreover, they are a perfect match."
When Grandma Jiang heard this, she waved her hand in mock anger and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Xiao Qiao is shy. She will be embarrassed if you say that."
But someone immediately responded: "We are not talking nonsense. The Jiang family has two generations of officials, and Lin Kai is such an outstanding child. He will definitely be an outstanding diplomat in the future."
"Xiao Qiao is a nationally recognized talent. Isn't that a perfect match?"
Nan Qiao was slightly stunned when she heard what everyone said. She didn't expect the topic to suddenly shift to herself.
She pursed her lips a little embarrassedly, her eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally landed on Jiang Linkai.
"Student Jiang Linkai is really outstanding. He has good grades, is talented, and is gentle and polite to others. He also has clear goals and will definitely become an outstanding diplomat in the future." Nan Qiao said sincerely with a polite smile on his face.
After a pause, she continued, "However, we are just starting our college life now, and our focus is on our studies. We probably don't have much energy to pay attention to other things."
Jiang Linkai subconsciously glanced at Nan Qiao, and a hint of loss flashed across his deep eyes.
That emotion was so fleeting, almost impossible to detect, and then he returned to normal, his lips curled up again, revealing that sunny smile, and he echoed Nan Qiao, "Yes, what Nan Qiao said is exactly what I was thinking."
But behind the smile there seems to be a hint of bitterness that is hardly noticeable.
Jiang's mother saw all this and nodded calmly, with gentleness and kindness in her eyes.
Then he smiled and invited Nan Qiao: "Xiao Qiao, when you are free in the future, you are welcome to come to my house and play."
Her voice was gentle, making the originally delicate atmosphere harmonious again.
Nan Qiao nodded slightly, a polite smile on her lips, and replied softly: "Okay, Aunt Jiang, I will definitely come when I have the chance."
Afterwards, everyone returned to the relaxed and happy atmosphere and continued to chat while eating.
At this time, the topic at the dinner table finally stopped revolving around the two young men, Jiang Linkai and Nan Qiao, and turned to things in officialdom.
Some people talked about the recent policy adjustments, their words full of analysis of the situation; others shared interesting anecdotes in officialdom, which caused everyone to laugh.
But these contents were really boring to Nan Qiao. She was like a listener in another world, and those official topics had little to do with her.
Finally, the dinner was drawing to a close. Seeing that everyone was still drinking and chatting, Nan Qiao approached Grandma Jiang and said, "I'm done. The food was so delicious. I want to go for a walk in the yard to help digest it."
Grandma Jiang nodded. "Okay, it's really boring for adults to chat at the dinner table. I'll let Lin Kai go with you."
"No, I can just go by myself."
Seeing Nan Qiao get up and leave, Jiang Linkai was about to get up and leave with her, but he was pulled aside by several enthusiastic relatives who asked him about his school situation. The barrage of questions tripped him up like a thread.
