In recent days, the events happening around him have been mysterious, too overwhelming.

Looking back now, each incident seems unfathomable, and he can only think, "What has he been doing?"

Including helping Grandma Qiaoqiao transfer hospitals and giving her his payroll card.

Without any reason or purpose, he just did it.

Qiao Qiao glanced at Qin Shaonan, only to see him smoking, just staring at her, his eyes growing deeper, more enigmatic, "Wh... what’s wrong?"

Qin Shaonan remained silent.

Qiao Qiao looked at Qin Shaonan, frowning.

Qin Shaonan extinguished the cigarette in his hand, looked at her, eyes dark as night, "Regret it?"

Qiao Qiao shook her head, "Do you regret it, Instructor Qin?"

Qin Shaonan threw away the cigarette butt, pulled her close, looked at her seriously, and spoke firmly, "Men are like arrows. Once shot from a bow, there’s no regret."

Qiao Qiao, "..."

So did he regret it or not?

She blinked her big eyes, looking at him innocently.

Qin Shaonan looked seriously at Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao looked at his brows, his eyes.

Qin Shaonan raised his hand and touched her lips. The phrase "naturally red without rouge" seemed apt—slightly open, infinitely captivating.

Qiao Qiao looked at him, wondering why he’s been staring at her mouth.

Qin Shaonan, admiring her snow-like cheek, murmured, "In the future, don’t attend such dinners anymore."

Qiao Qiao, "Got it."

Qin Shaonan continued gazing at Qiao Qiao without speaking. After a moment, he looked away.

Qiao Qiao, "..."

Qin Shaonan paused for a few seconds, then looked at her, "Stay here tonight, go to school early tomorrow morning."

So earlier, did he mean he wanted her to stay with him tonight?

Qiao Qiao, "Got it."

As soon as she finished, her phone rang.

Seeing it was Zhao Xiaoman, she picked up, "I’m not going back tonight, heading to school tomorrow morning."

Zhao Xiaoman, "Why does your voice sound off? What’s wrong?"

Qiao Qiao glanced at Qin Shaonan, coughed softly, "Really?"

Zhao Xiaoman, "Of course it does."

Qiao Qiao coughed again, "A little cold."

Zhao Xiaoman, "Then take some meds. Do I need to wait for you tomorrow morning?"

Qiao Qiao felt his large hand pull her closer, "No need, I might be late. If I can’t make it, remember to ask Instructor Qin for leave for me."

Zhao Xiaoman, "Okay, no problem."

Qiao Qiao hung up the phone and looked at Qin Shaonan.

Qin Shaonan looked at Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao smiled slyly, "Is she really that pretty?"

Qin Shaonan, "She’s alright."

Qiao Qiao heard this and raised her eyebrows, "I’ll take that as a compliment."

Qin Shaonan, "..."

Actually, he wanted to compliment her beauty in another way.

Just as he was about to speak, the phone rang. Seeing it was Grandma Qin, he frowned, waited a moment, and hung up directly.

A few seconds later, the phone rang again.

Grandma must have heard something from somewhere, fearing not answering would cause a stir.

He picked it up and asked softly, "What’s up?"

Grandma couldn’t contain her excitement, eagerly asking, "Who’s that girl? I heard from the hospital people she’s really beautiful."

Qin Shaonan glanced at Qiao Qiao, murmuring, "I thought I liked men?"
