When Qiao Qiao walked away, Qin Shaonan looked at the dorm supervisor and said, "When she comes back later, knock on the door, remember to let her in."

The dorm supervisor looked at the handsome man in front of her, her skin tingling with goosebumps. It wasn’t his good looks that caused it—it was his icy demeanor!

"Understood, Instructor Qin."

Qin Shaonan didn’t reply and headed towards the graduate student building not far away.

The dorm supervisor stood there watching, thinking he would knock on the door. She was surprised to witness something out of the ordinary!

Instructor Qin directly climbed up from the first-floor balcony, moving floor by floor, until he reached the fifth floor.

Considering Instructor Qin’s recent popularity across campus, becoming nearly every girl’s crush, it was no surprise—it takes someone special!

...

Qiao Qiao returned to the dorm and quietly took her toiletries to the restroom to wash her face. She gently placed them under the table and climbed up to the top bunk.

Just as she lay down, she heard Zhao Xiaoman’s voice, "Where did you sneak off to tonight?"

Qiao Qiao, "Shh, I’m sleeping."

She closed her eyes.

Zhao Xiaoman sensed something fishy—or rather, some secret romance! But isn’t Qiao Qiao into Instructor Qin? Could she really have gone to sleep with him?

Such a small body with so much energy? Explosive power, indeed!

Yet, no matter how strong she is, she’s probably like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of Instructor Qin, right?

Even if the ant wants to shake the tree, it must be able to move it!

Unless Instructor Qin is willing, there’s no way Qiao Qiao could ever manage that.

She reached over the partition between their beds and gently tugged at Qiao Qiao’s blanket, "Are you asleep?"

Qiao Qiao, "Yes, I’m asleep."

Zhao Xiaoman, "..."

Such a vague answer, is she really asleep?

She didn’t believe it! Instructor Qin must be involved!

After all, she is quite the beauty, maybe not as pretty as Qiao Qiao, but growing up, she was the star of her kindergarten, and the belle of her elementary, middle, and high schools, right?

Yet, Instructor Qin is completely immune to her!

Immune, can you believe it?

Qiao Qiao closed her eyes, hearing Zhao Xiaoman’s uneven breath, knowing she hadn’t yet moved past what happened the other day.

She often faced situations like this. Look at her, so balanced heart-wise, with such a good attitude!

Indomitable and ready to try again!

Isn’t there a saying? Failure is the mother of success.

———— Yunqi Academy ————

The next day, Qiao Qiao voluntarily went to military training.

Qin Shaonan saw her and frowned slightly, "Stand at attention."

Qiao Qiao stood there.

Qin Shaonan’s gaze fell on her feet, unable to see through the shoes, "About-face, quick march, head towards the dormitory."

Qiao Qiao, "..."

She stood there, not moving. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Qin Shaonan’s eyes darkened as he looked at her, "Did you hear me?"

Qiao Qiao, "I heard."

Qin Shaonan approached Qiao Qiao, stood in front of her, looking down at her, his voice so low only the two of them could hear, "Didn’t you want to wear a skirt?"

Qiao Qiao nodded.

Qin Shaonan, "If you want to wear a skirt, go back."

Qiao Qiao looked at Qin Shaonan, "Then you have to promise me that I will help you with washing clothes."

Qin Shaonan’s gaze was frosty as he turned and walked away.

Qiao Qiao watched his back, unsure whether he agreed or not!

Qin Shaonan was leading the routine military training with the team.

Qiao Qiao watched his back, thinking about the rumors, not wanting to drag him into it, she quickly left.

It doesn’t matter how others criticize her; she’s used to it, but she doesn’t want others to talk about him.

Anyway, now everyone says she’s chasing him.

As if that’s the truth, but she hasn’t even caught up yet?
