Next Time, I’ll Get You Something Different

Thump!

Quan Shaoqing clutched at his chest, nearly spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

With a grim face, he stepped forward and glared at her, “Gu Xiaoxi, if you have the guts, say that again!” freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Gu Xiaoxi looked at Quan Shaoqing’s face, which was black as coal, and his cold eyes seemed to be raging with a storm.

She instinctively shrank her neck, feeling a bit scared!

In fact, she seldom saw Quan Shaoqing lose his temper, but when he did, it was somewhat frightening.

“Next time, can we have four dishes and one soup, with a meat and vegetable mix?

It looks a bit nicer too!” Gu Xiaoxi’s voice was like the buzz of a mosquito.

She admitted defeat—who made him the boss of the Zheng Z department!

Even if one didn’t want to comply, they had no choice!

Only then did Quan Shaoqing raise his eyebrows in satisfaction, “I was indeed at fault regarding the last incident.

But if it’s true love, you can’t back down just because of a few words I’ve said.

Gu Xiaoxi, I’m doing this for your own good!”

Damn!

With that said, somehow Yi Chentian became the one in the wrong?

Gu Xiaoxi rubbed the short hair on her head and stood up, her expression indifferent, “Fine!

I get it.

You want to tell me that I have stumbled upon a mouse-hearted jerk.

I’ll take the crab with me and save it for the afternoon snack.

Thank you for the visit.”

Quan Shaoqing clearly felt that there was something sarcastic about her tone, although on the surface she seemed to be obeying him, it was likely she wasn’t convinced in her heart.

Seeing her pick up the lunch box and about to leave, Quan Shaoqing quickly grabbed Gu Xiaoxi’s arm.

Gu Xiaoxi stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked at the large palm holding her arm.

His palm bore calluses, and the temperature of his palm was scorching, his long and shapely fingers were very strong, gripping her so firmly that she couldn’t even move her feet.

All of a sudden, Gu Xiaoxi remembered the first time she met Quan Shaoqing.

He moved agilely, and despite being so seriously injured, he was able to defeat the bad guys.

Gu Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and suddenly flung the lunch box in her hand toward the table nearby, turned around, and with a fierce palm thrust, she attacked Quan Shaoqing.

Quan Shaoqing reacted swiftly, raising his hand to block.

Under Gu Xiaoxi’s full-force attack, he did so with ease.

In just ten minutes, they had exchanged more than a dozen techniques.

At every turn, Gu Xiaoxi was restrained, feeling unconvinced in her heart.

She used her inner strength in her palms, but unexpectedly, Quan Shaoqing caught her by the waist and quickly seized her wrist.

His strength was astonishing; her casual grab left her feeling as if she was sinking into a quagmire, powerless.

Quan Shaoqing held Gu Xiaoxi tightly in his embrace, looking at her cheeks flushed with anger, his voice tinged with helplessness, “If you want to surpass me, then train properly!”

Gu Xiaoxi’s face darkened!

Struggling fiercely, she tried to break free from Quan Shaoqing’s grip, but she couldn’t manage to.

“I will definitely surpass you!” Gu Xiaoxi declared with determination, her tone icy as if she were taking an oath.

She suddenly used all her strength and broke free from Quan Shaoqing’s hands, striking at him with her palm.

Caught off guard, Quan Shaoqing felt the vigor in her palm wind, releasing her waist, and stumbled backwards to dodge her palm.

Gu Xiaoxi, however, because of the sudden release of the hand around her waist, lost balance and fell towards the ground.

She tried to tumble to prevent the fall, but her leg went numb and couldn’t move at all.

As she was about to hit the ground, she closed her eyes in despair.

Quan Shaoqing was startled, and when Gu Xiaoxi was falling and only ten centimeters from the ground, he rapidly reached out and, fortunately, caught her in the nick of time.

Only, he failed to watch his step and stepped on a glass bead, slipping, and fell backwards.

Gu Xiaoxi, pulled by him, lunged in the opposite direction.

The two of them tumbled into a heap.

Quan Shaoqing’s head hit the ground, and for a long while his mind was in a mush.

Gu Xiaoxi lay on his chest, pressing against him, the two of them now in close proximity.

Their lips touched, noses aligned, and their warm breath sprayed on each other’s faces, both stunned.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Not until ten seconds later did Gu Xiaoxi suddenly snap out of it, her cheeks blushing red as she hurriedly climbed off Quan Shaoqing’s chest.

But in her haste, she fell a second time.

Her forehead bumped against his chin, the pain almost brought tears to her eyes.

Quan Shaoqing came back to his senses and immediately sat up from the ground.

Seeing the hint of panic in her eyes, he helped her up and noticed her forehead was red.

He gently rubbed it for her, “Stop messing around, as you are now, if it comes to physical strength, you can’t beat me.”

“Then you should have been a bit gentler!” Gu Xiaoxi lowered her head, and to disguise her suddenly racing heart, she clenched her fists and glared at Quan Shaoqing.

As their gazes locked, Quan Shaoqing’s eyes were still calm and cold, but she seemed somewhat unable to directly meet his eyes.

His eyes were like whirlpools in the deep sea, just one look made one feel an irresistible urge to jump in.

Gu Xiaoxi hastily slapped away his hand from her forehead, picked up the lunchbox from the table, and walked away.

But as she was about to leave, Quan Shaoqing suddenly grabbed her by the shoulder from behind.

Gu Xiaoxi stiffened all over, then Quan Shaoqing moved her body so that she was facing him, and said in a serious tone, “Don’t be mad at me anymore.

If you think the crab wasn’t good this time, I’ll get you something different next time.”

Gu Xiaoxi gripped the lunch box tightly, her tone indifferent, “Whatever!

Next time you come, remember to bring me some chewing gum.

And that 360 degree thing!”

As soon as Gu Xiaoxi finished speaking, she turned and ran off with the lunch box, her heart pounding, fleeing in embarrassed shyness.

Quan Shaoqing watched her retreating figure, pulling out a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it up, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss and joy in his heart.

The loss was because that girl was still thinking about Yi Chentian.

The joy was because every time he thought of that kiss from earlier, his lips would curl into a smile uncontrollably.

Upon seeing Gu Xiaoxi leave, Lin Mi came in from outside.

As soon as he entered, he saw Quan Shaoqing smiling brilliantly, which looked a bit lecherous.

“Superior officer!

I just heard noises inside, you didn’t get into a fight with Gu Xiaoxi, did you?”

Quan Shaoqing glanced at him sideways, appearing to be in a good mood, “Let’s go!

Time to head back.”

Seeing that he didn’t answer, Lin Mi scratched his head.

Was he being too talkative again?

…

Gu Xiaoxi ran all the way, her cheeks growing redder, suddenly recalling the embarrassing moment in the bathroom last time, coupled with that unexpected kiss just now, which made her feel like her face was running a fever of forty degrees.

Because she was running too fast, she collided with someone, which calmed her down.

“Are you acting like a thief, with that guilty look on your face?” Shao Changfeng was planning to call her after not seeing Gu Xiaoxi for a long time, since the troops had already assembled and they were going to have a three-day beach training.

So, he went to fetch her.

From a distance, he saw her running with her head down, unresponsive to his calls.

“You’re the one acting like a thief.

Oh, did you want something from me?” Gu Xiaoxi asked.

“Quickly assemble and set out for the beach immediately.

We will undertake three days of beach training,” Shao Changfeng ordered.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the crab in her hands, knowing she certainly couldn’t take it with her.

Seeing that Shao Changfeng was empty-handed, she stuffed it into his hands, “Take this with you.

Share with the guys on the road!”

As soon as she finished speaking, regardless of whether Shao Changfeng was willing, she turned and ran towards the dormitory.

Back at the dormitory, she found her belongings had already been packed by someone, and even her favorite box of chewing gum was included.

Gu Xiaoxi, with her backpack on, ran toward the assembly point where everyone was already boarding the vehicles.

Shao Changfeng looked at the lunch box in his hands, lifted the lid, and his eyes lit up.

Such a big crab, and it smelled so good!

“This girl is really lucky.

How come nobody sends me anything like this?”

Shao Changfeng wondered if there was something wrong with his popularity.

…

Gu Xiaoxi boarded the bus and sat next to Song Jingyi, with Zhang Jingyue and Na Feng behind them.

“Where did you go, Gu Xiaoxi?

We waited for you for so long.

We shouldn’t be punished collectively because of you!” Na Feng spoke harshly, yelling at Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi sat in her seat and glanced at her, “Someone was looking for me, got a problem with that?”

“How dare I have a problem!

Tsk tsk!

It’s just that your hairstyle is really ugly,” Na Feng commented, and the boys sitting in the back started laughing uproariously.

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t get angry but instead laughed, stood up, and touched her short hair, casting a cool glance over everyone, “You’re just jealous because you’re not as handsome as me!”

Snort…

After her remarks, a chorus of sounds like spitting blood came from behind; only then did Gu Xiaoxi sit down in her seat contentedly.

Song Jingyi gave Gu Xiaoxi a thumbs-up, it was always her who could keep this whole bus in line, including a bunch of gossip-loving men.

The bus was leaving the Fourth Company compound when it passed Quan Shaoqing and Lin Mi.

Gu Xiaoxi looked up and saw Quan Shaoqing also looking up at her.

When their eyes met, Gu Xiaoxi’s cheeks flushed, and she quickly turned her head away.

Afterwards, feeling that her reaction was too obvious and embarrassed, she turned her head back and was about to wave at Quan Shaoqing when she saw Zhang Jingyue excitedly pressing against the glass window, waving at Quan Shaoqing.

She decisively dropped her hand, which she had just raised, and pretended to know nothing, closing her eyes to feign sleep.

When Quan Shaoqing saw her act like that, his face darkened in an instant.

There were more than thirty people on the bus, and more than half of them recognized him.

After all, he had shown his face at the new recruits’ camp before.

But only Gu Xiaoxi and Zhang Jingyue knew his true identity.
