She would just leave those ‘younger brothers’ in university to her seniors or juniors. She had no interest in them at all.

“How about Da Bao and Er Bao?” Males were always more impulsive than females. Da Bao and Er Bao had always been in good health. Now that they were in university, they would probably experience great s.e.xual impulses, right? “I’m sure the three of you know when your dad and I got together. When I was your age, I already had the three of you. Do you think Da Bao and Er Bao will make me a grandma only when I’m forty?”

If she really became a grandma in her forties, in another twenty years, there would be children calling her great-grandma before she turned seventy!

San Bao’s eyes twinkled. “Make you a grandma? That’s an exaggeration! Da Bao and Er Bao won’t dare to do that. You know it well that Da Bao is the spitting image of dad. He’s as cold as an iceberg. I wonder if he’ll have his first relations.h.i.+p and first kiss while he’s still in university. As for Er Bao… He has someone.”

That bad Er Bao. She and Da Bao had not found anyone. As a triplet, how could Er Bao push Da Bao and her aside and have found a girlfriend first? He was too disloyal!

But what made San Bao the angriest was that Er Bao had been extremely concerned about Xu Ling Ling a year ago when Xu Shengnan had gotten married to Sun Guohong. He insisted on San Bao making sure that Xu Ling Ling would not be hurt once Xu Shengnan and Sun Guohong got married.

Based on Er Bao’s behavior at that time, it was not only Da Bao who suspected that Er Bao had feelings toward Xu Ling Ling. San Bao had such suspicions too. They had all grown up together, and Da Bao treated Xu Ling Ling as his younger sister too. But compared to Er Bao, Da Bao was much less concerned about Xu Ling Ling.

This only showed that Er Bao felt much more for Xu Ling Ling. Since they were not biological siblings, no one believed Er Bao when he said that he was merely concerned about Xu Ling Ling but had no feelings toward her.

Of course, that was what San Bao a.s.sumed a year ago. A year ago, she had secretly asked Er Bao whether he had any feelings for Xu Ling Ling. At that time, Er Bao had immediately denied it, but San Bao refused to believe that Er Bao did not harbor any feelings toward Xu Ling Ling. But now, there was no way for San Bao not to believe that.

There were no sc.u.ms in the Zhai family. Now that Er Bao already had a girlfriend, it probably meant that he truly had no special feelings for Xu Ling Ling and only thought of her as his younger sister. In this one year, San Bao had tried to test Er Bao many times by taking the initiative to talk about Xu Ling Ling’s situation. Every time, Er Bao never failed to say innocently, “Why do you keep talking about Ling Ling? Do you think my workload is very light to have so much free time to gossip with you, miss?”

San Bao had not expected such a reaction from Er Bao. Aside from his extraordinary concern toward Xu Ling Ling when Xu Shengnan and Sun Guohong had gotten married, Er Bao reacted in the same way as Da Bao whenever it concerned Ling Ling and never mentioned her in their conversations.

After learning that Er Bao had gotten a girlfriend, San Bao finally gave up on Er Bao and Xu Ling Ling.

However, even though San Bao knew that Er Bao was dating, she did not relay this news to Xu Ling Ling. After entering university, the number of times Er Bao asked after Ling Ling had decreased. But Xu Ling Ling was still as concerned about Er Bao as she had been before. Once, Xu Ling Ling even asked San Bao whether Er Bao was dating in school.

At that time, San Bao had simply joked. “There’s nothing weird about Er Bao dating at this age. Why? Are you curious about the kind of sister-in-law Er Bao has found for you? Don’t be so anxious! If such a day ever comes, he’ll definitely have to bring that young lady home for my parents to meet her. Won’t you know everything about her then?”

San Bao realized that Xu Ling Ling’s expression had changed right after she had said that. San Bao wondered if Xu Ling Ling thought of Er Bao as something more than just an elder brother. From then on, Xu Ling Ling had never mentioned Er Bao. If she mentioned him, she would always mention Da Bao as well.

Xu Ling Ling behaved very nonchalantly, no different than before, and she was no longer as curious about Er Bao as she had been. Before long, San Bao naturally gave up her suspicions on whether Er Bao and Xu Ling Ling had feelings for each other.

“So he’s really dating.” Qiao Nan was just a little surprised, feeling that it was normal. “But Er Bao is in the PLA National Defense University. Do you mean that his girlfriend is there too?” Was Er Bao planning on finding someone who would take the same path as him?

Qiao Nan thought about how her sons did not spend much time at home and would take the same path that Zhai Sheng had taken back then once they really became soldiers. Qiao Nan was in a dilemma. That meant it was not just Er Bao who would do that, but his wife would do so as well? Then, would they still have time to take care of their children?

“No.” San Bao shook her head before hesitating and correcting herself. “Not really.”

“What do you mean by not really?”

“Er Bao’s girlfriend is a military performer. She’s studying dance in the military. I heard that she was a very conscientious student back then, but her results weren’t very good. Of course, they weren’t that bad either. It was just coincidental that there was a chance for her to join the military as a performer, so she left school before graduating from high school and gave up the opportunity to attend university. I’m sure you know that the military gives young people like her the opportunity to learn. Her educational qualifications won’t be too bad.” San Bao had clearly listed out Er Bao’s situation. To be more exact, Da Bao had listed out Er Bao’s situation clearly before telling San Bao about it.

Da Bao knew that Qiao Nan was most concerned about the three of them. Qiao Nan would definitely want to know about Er Bao dating, so he had given all the relevant information to San Bao in advance. When Qiao Nan wanted to know, San Bao could simply quote him ad verb.u.m so that Qiao Nan would not get too anxious from not knowing anything.

Qiao Nan had managed to see through that scheme. With such complete information, this had definitely been prepared specially for her. “She didn’t even graduate from high school. This young lady… isn’t old, right?” She was not old, probably quite young.

“That…” San Bao laughed but did not hide the truth. “You’re five years younger than Dad, right? That young lady was quite intelligent when she was younger, and she even skipped a grade. So even though she’s already been through high school, she is younger than Er Bao by… five years I think. It’s just like you and Dad.”

That young lady’s age was ‘younger’ than what her mom had said. Typical high school students would be just two or three years younger than Er Bao, but this young lady had started school early and had even skipped a grade in elementary school. And so, she was five years younger.
