Chapter 1759: Chapter 1778: Lofty Trees in the South (88)

Qin Shaonan walked around Hall Number One, his gaze landing on Zhao Ming, "How’s the training going?"

"Not bad." Zhao Ming glanced at Qin Shaonan, thinking Captain Qin was lucky, bringing college freshmen for target practice and then going off to court women, leaving him to do the work.

Qin Shaonan, "I’ll treat you to dinner."

Zhao Ming, "That’s more like it."

Qin Shaonan stood there making a phone call, then looked at Wang Dacheng, "Alright, everyone take a break, I’ll treat you all to lunch."

Wang Dacheng passed the word along, and cheers erupted among the group.

During assembly, when calling names, Wang Dacheng noticed Qiao Qiao was not present and approached Qin Shaonan to report. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Qin Shaonan, "I know."

Just those three words carried a lot of information, and everyone from the class nearby heard it, looking over.

What does "I know" mean?

Especially the girls, their reactions were the strongest.

"Ah, ah, ah, what does that mean?"

"Could it be... heartbreak, not wanting to say it?"

...

Wang Dacheng walked to the front of the lineup, "Everyone, keep quiet."

Quiet it might be, but the girls kept glancing in Qin Shaonan’s direction.

Qin Shaonan stood there, picking up his phone to call Qiao Qiao, "Come over."

Qiao Qiao, "Okay."

Once she moved from Hall Number One to Hall Number Three and entered, she realized something was off, standing there, completely bewildered.

What’s going on with Instructor Qin?

Is he planning to announce it to the public?

Qin Shaonan, "Return to the lineup."

Qiao Qiao blushed, quickly returning to the lineup, feeling numerous eyes on her, almost penetrating like a beehive.

Zhao Xiaoman lightly tapped her shoulder, "Wow, officially became the instructor’s wife now."

Qiao Qiao, "Yeah, finally got the title."

Zhao Xiaoman, "And you were so aggrieved!"

Qiao Qiao, "Isn’t that right?"

"Showing off love to spite me?"

"Yes, why don’t you find someone to spite me instead?"

...

As the two whispered secretly, the team started moving, a bus already parked outside.

After boarding the bus, they went directly to Yingang Hotel’s Vienna Restaurant.

The spacious private room had four large tables.

As Qin Shaonan sat down, a seat next to him conveniently remained vacant.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Qiao Qiao felt uneasy sitting there.

Qin Shaonan looked up at her.

Qiao Qiao, "..."

Zhao Xiaoman, "Why don’t you go sit there? If not, I’ll take it."

Finally, Qiao Qiao slowly walked over, sat beside Qin Shaonan, feeling a bit nervous, too shy to look at everyone, lowering her head and staring at the table in front of her.

Qin Shaonan’s gaze fell on Qiao Qiao, "Why be so reserved? Everyone knows each other."

With that, voices of agreement arose, "Yes, no need to be so reserved, Qiao Beauty, we’re all friends, Instructor Qin is treating us to a meal."

Qiao Qiao looked up at everyone, "Who’s being reserved?"

Everyone laughed.

Qiao Qiao glanced at Qin Shaonan.

Qin Shaonan, "We can’t keep sneaking around forever, can we?"

Qiao Qiao, "..."

She completely yielded to him.

Qin Shaonan sat there without saying more, and in a few days, once the target practice ended, he’d return to the base. She still had some time before she could go.

Too many people liked her; there’s no need to dwell on it.

Qin Shaonan looked at the waiter, "Bring the menus over."

The waiter brought the menus, placing a copy on each table.

Qin Shaonan scanned the room, "I’ve been with Qiao Qiao for a long time; I’m sorry it’s taken me this long to treat everyone to dinner."

The boys were heartbroken, the girls were devastated, yet in unison they replied, "It’s alright!"

Qin Shaonan, "Then let’s order."
