If given another chance, he wouldn’t dare confess to Qiao Qiao even if you beat him to death.

Thinking about the training ahead, especially the target practice, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat!

Instructor Qin, is it still possible to take back what I said?

Qin Shaonan sat there, ignoring Zhang Kai’s gaze, and when no one was paying attention, he helped Qiao Qiao unscrew the cap of her bottle of purified water.

Qiao Qiao whispered a small "thank you," picked up the bottle, took a sip, and set it aside.

She held out until late at night, but eventually, Qiao Qiao couldn’t stay awake anymore. She didn’t sing, just leaned on the sofa and fell asleep.

Zhao Xiaoman saw Zhang Kai’s bruised and swollen face, and didn’t dare go back to her own seat. She randomly found a spot and kept glancing at Zhang Kai, finding it increasingly amusing.

Thinking back on what he said earlier, wasn’t he just asking to be beaten up?

No way around it, Instructor Qin had to step in; the provocation came right to his door.

...

By three in the morning, everyone was heading out.

Zhao Xiaoman stayed behind, "You guys go ahead, I’ll wait for Qiao Qiao."

Qin Shaonan glanced at Zhao Xiaoman but said nothing.

In the end, only the three of them were left in the private room.

Qin Shaonan looked at Zhao Xiaoman, "Stay here with her, I’m going out for a bit."

Zhao Xiaoman was also sleepy, leaning back on the sofa, closing her eyes, and soon fell asleep.

...

Qin Shaonan went to the lobby and asked a server, "Arrange for a bus to take them to the Law University."

The server quickly went to make the arrangements.

When Qin Shaonan returned to the private room, he found Qiao Qiao gone, with only Zhao Xiaoman sleeping there. He called softly, "Zhao Xiaoman?"

Zhao Xiaoman woke up startle, hearing Qin Shaonan’s voice, "Instructor Qin, you’re back?"

Qin Shaonan, "Where’s Qiao Qiao?"

"Qiao Qiao? Wasn’t she just sleeping here?"

As she spoke, Zhao Xiaoman glanced aside, her face gradually turning pale.

Qiao Qiao was clearly just sleeping there a moment ago; how did she suddenly disappear?

She picked up her phone to call Qiao Qiao, but the ringtone sounded in the private room.

Qin Shaonan picked up Qiao Qiao’s phone, glanced at it, and then placed it in a nearby bag, "You stay here and wait for her, I’ll go look."

Zhao Xiaoman acknowledged, completely awake now, with no hint of sleepiness left.

...

Qin Shaonan stepped out and hadn’t walked far before he heard commotion in the corridor.

Looking up, he saw Qiao Qiao along with a young man aggressively confronting her.

Qin Shaonan walked over and firmly grabbed the young man’s arm, "What do you think you’re doing?"

Jiao Yang looked at Qin Shaonan, "Move aside, this doesn’t concern you."

Qin Shaonan didn’t speak; he twisted Jiao Yang’s arm and flung him away, "Does it concern me now?"

Jiao Yang cried out in pain, "Who the hell are you? Mind your own business!"

Qin Shaonan pulled Qiao Qiao over, taking her hand, "Let’s go."

Qiao Qiao followed Qin Shaonan to leave, but then Jiao Yang’s voice stopped them, "Hold up, none of you are leaving here today."

Qin Shaonan halted, "Is that so?"

He stepped closer to Jiao Yang.

Jiao Yang looked at Qin Shaonan, sensing something intimidating about him, "You... what do you want?"

Qin Shaonan, "Let’s see how you keep me here."

With those words, he shrugged off his jacket and threw it to Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao caught it, held it in her arms, and looked toward Qin Shaonan.

Qin Shaonan stood there, wearing an olive-green long shirt underneath.

He rolled up one sleeve, "Alright then, it’s been a while since I stretched my muscles."
