Chapter 210: Going Back to Be an Instructor?

Actually, Zhou Tianzuo regretted it the moment he said that.

Basically, he invited Qin Yuxi for the same reason He Chen Guang and the others thought: to give Liu Xiaotian and her a chance to get along.

But he had gotten overly excited just now and blurted out such an inappropriate remark.

Of course, things said unconsciously are often what one truly feels.

For such an outstanding young man, if Zhou Tianzuo really had a daughter, he would probably have started preparing to take Liu Xiaotian as a son-in-law right after Liu Xiaotian first gave him that information.

In other words, even if the story of Liu Xiaotian risking his life to save a beauty might still happen later, Qin Yuxi can now only silently remember, recall, and regret it alone.

After all, poaching people is not very moral.

Given Qin Yuxi's personality, even if she couldn't let go and spent her life alone, she probably wouldn't resort to snatching someone in this situation.

In her view, whether now or in the future, if Liu Xiaotian fell for someone else, it would mean she was still not good enough and that their fate had run its course.

At one, one look `none, one mistaken version%!'

"Pfft…" Qin Yuxi burst out laughing: "Class Monitor Zhou, if you hadn't come to fix the plane back then, I think you'd definitely be a especially famous, especially popular crosstalk performer now—you really have the talent and comedic cells for it, hahaha… you're killing me… your head's big… your age is useless… hahaha…"

He actually wanted to take a break, but could he decide this? "Brigade Commander, what's the matter? Just tell me straight—your tone makes me nervous," Liu Xiaotian said tentatively.

Wang Yanbing had actually seen it, but deliberately stayed silent, knowing He Chen Guang had already shoved that bamboo shoot tip into his mouth, and only then did he start smirking maliciously.

Otherwise, today's meal would probably end here.

Of course, if it's just feeling a bit upset, later having a talk with Liu Xiaotian to get an explanation would still be acceptable.

After coming to this world, Qin Yuxi was the first girl he had some fondness for, but that didn't necessarily mean he had to marry her; to be frank, their feelings hadn't reached that point.

What could you do? Really beat him up? They were just joking or playing a minor prank.

To be honest, the moment Zhou Tianzuo said that, his scalp went numb too.

And regarding that utterly impossible remark Zhou Tianzuo blurted out in his excitement, Qin Yuxi really wasn't angry at all.

Zhou Tianzuo: ……

The only result would be: never speak again! But for such a completely harmless hypothesis, in Qin Yuxi's view it amounted to nothing.

Even so, saying the word "feelings" now is actually a bit premature. Liu Xiaotian wanted to see Qin Yuxi's reaction; if she really would fly into a rage over this remark, or even argue with him, then it would be better to leave things as they are.

Watching Wang Yanbing shake his head and He Chen Guang angry yet helpless, Liu Xiaotian glanced at Qin Yuxi and Zhou Tianzuo beside him, and all three let out a helpless laugh.

"Little Qin, I just… sigh, it wasn't intentional, maybe I got a little too happy—joy turned to sorrow;

Liu Xiaotian couldn't help but startle.

Liu Xiaotian also laughed, and it wasn't feigned.

Of course, this seems abnormal to others, especially most women.

Before the meal was finished, Liu Xiaotian received a personal call from He Zhijun.

The three reseated themselves and kept eating, but Zhou Tianzuo's eyes kept flicking to Liu Xiaotian, full of gratitude… "Don't get angry, your head's big, your age is useless."

But Zhou Tianzuo broke out in a cold sweat.

These arrangements were originally well-intentioned, but if they ended up causing a rift between those two young people, that would be his fault.

As for Wang Yanbing, that lovable goof, not even He Chen Guang, let alone Liu Xiaotian—who could easily beat him now—could do anything about him.

Zhou Tianzuo had obviously prepared plenty for today's meal, and considering that Liu Xiaotian and the three others were all big eaters, he had specially prepared lots of ingredients.

"You bastard, Wang Yanbing! This bamboo shoot tip has been chewed by you!" He Chen Guang snatched a piece from his bowl, shoved it into his mouth, then spat it out a second later and pointed at Wang Yanbing, cursing.

Although… there were still bits of chewed food they'd just spat out, not fully swallowed or ground up, stuck on it…

You little girl, you're fine—still talking about being a crosstalk performer, while I still can't speak standard Mandarin to this day!

She won't hate him, but she also won't spout empty platitudes like "I don't care," "I bless you," or "We'll still be friends."

Logically, now that he only has to follow superiors' orders and arrangements, he hardly ever gets to make his own decisions.

Damn it, old man, bah! Class Monitor Zhou, I spoke wrongly because I was nervous, okay?

Such a soul matched with this equally blank body made Liu Xiaotian feel that he, too, deserved someone like Qin Yuxi.

Before crossing over, as a "hardworking little bee," Liu Xiaotian still had his own standards for women.

But then he let it go.

He Chen Guang and the others had thought they could just "eat the melon," even preparing popcorn and stools, but after waiting half an hour for this outcome, they found it boring and turned their attention back to the food in front of them.

But the fact is, Liu Xiaotian was very pleased with Qin Yuxi's performance.

Independent and capable, straightforward yet principled, Qin Yuxi truly stirred the soul of Liu Xiaotian, who, though battle‑hardened, still had an emotionally blank slate.

No matter the reason, or whether the assumption is baseless, telling an old lady's man you want to take him as a son‑in‑law—do you really think she has no temper and is easy to bully? But Qin Yuxi is not one of those people.

Otherwise, He Chen Guang, who had even deliberately dipped his food in hot‑pot sauce, probably wouldn't have been able to eat it at all.

On the other end of the line, He Zhijun's tone was somewhat stern and very formal as he asked Liu Xiaotian: "Comrade Liu Xiaotian, you now face a choice; I cannot decide for you—you must decide yourself."

He actually wanted to take time off, but could he decide this? "Brigade Commander, what's the matter? Just tell me straight—your tone makes me nervous," Liu Xiaotian said tentatively.

On the other end of the line, He Zhijun fell silent for a moment, then spoke again: "This is it—the Warrior School just called Deputy Commander Gao, wanting you to finish training early and inviting you to serve as a combat instructor for half a year.

Deputy Commander Gao asked me to seek your opinion.

Hearing He Zhijun's words, Liu Xiaotian was instantly dazed……
