Chapter 253

In the view of the vast majority of people, or following the plot development of film and TV works, at this moment Liu Xiaotian would certainly step forward to catch Ye Cunxin; ideally with a slightly "Korean‑style" pose, paired with a handsome, fair‑skinned, sharp‑angled male lead face, and preferably also a sunny warm‑hearted type.

As for the female lead, Ye Cunxin, aside from lacking a head of long hair that could perfectly enhance a woman's charm, her face is quite exquisite, absolutely at the level of a campus belle or higher.

If that were really the case, it would undoubtedly be a scene from an idol drama.

Unfortunately, although Liu Xiaotian's looks also merit the word "handsome," he is absolutely not the creamy‑type; he is the standard tough‑guy type.

Moreover, in his mindset, the notion of a hero saving a beauty simply does not exist.

Ye Cunxin looks fine, but what does that have to do with him?

Whether she sprained her ankle or suffered a more serious injury, it's all her own fault.

Did Young Master tell you to climb the tree?

"Instructor Liu, I, this assistant instructor, am not responsible for training; the Chief of Staff assigned me the task of handling the daily life of the women's special forces unit, and all training matters are entirely up to you."

In one, one look `no, one wrong version%!'`

Being straightforward is straightforward, but at the very least treating a girl whom he quite likes and who can basically be considered a "prospective girlfriend" with the most basic courtesy is something Liu Xiaotian still understands.

"Before you have the strength to defeat me head‑on, I advise you to put away these crooked little thoughts; otherwise, next time I'll have you lying in the hospital for a hundred days!"

This little matter between men and women is actually not much different from doing business.

And this assistant instructor? She'd be useless at assisting! Aside from her professional field, talking about military quality, she's just at the level of an ordinary soldier in a combat unit, far inferior to soldiers like Shen Dan Ni and He Lu. If it weren't for there being another layer of relationship between them, albeit still rather vague, Liu Xiaotian would definitely turn and leave, leaving only a suave back view for Qin Yuxi.

Especially those in sales, it's even more so.

Since one is an adult, one must bear the corresponding consequences and costs of one's actions; that is the principle.

Before signing a contract, Party B will go to any lengths to flatter and ingratiate, coaxing and deceiving, wishing they could erect an ancestral tablet to worship you.

For example, the fourth son.

"Slap!"

If it weren't for the fact that Ye Cunxin was present, Qin Yuxi would definitely not have let Liu Xiaotian off so easily.

Turning around, smiling, and speaking: "How did you come? The brigade commander and chief of staff said before they left that they would send an assistant instructor; could it be you?"

Liu Xiaotian's thought is simple: You're a trainee soldier, I'm the instructor; isn't training you normal work? If your physical quality is lacking, is it wrong for me to make you run? Now you climbed a tree to sneak‑attack Young Master; if I don't let you suffer a bit, you'd probably think this "instructor" of mine is a good‑for‑nothing.

Although it really hurts, the bones are fine, the joints are fine; at most it's a soft‑tissue contusion.

With just that light word, Liu Xiaotian stepped forward and walked toward the two‑story building.

Ye Cunxin landed and sat straight down on the ground.

But facing Qin Yuxi, he still couldn't do that.

Regarding what happened that night before the last return to Warrior School, Liu Xiaotian still felt a bit awkward inside.

"Instructor Liu, go attend to your duties; I'll handle this here."

She was still fortunate—she didn't sprain her ankle, just got jolted by the rebound force when landing, couldn't keep her balance, and plopped down onto the ground.

If that's the case, what's there to bitter about? If you're not convinced, train up your abilities and come find me for "revenge"—that's it. If Young Master loses to you, that just shows you've got ability; what use are tears? Thinking this, Liu Xiaotian blurted out:

In the army, especially in special forces, a soft‑tissue contusion is practically equivalent to being healthy.

He first needs to ask Fan Yong where this instructor's dormitory is.

Liu Xiaotian threw the half‑brick in his hand beside Ye Cunxin's foot and said in a low voice: "Liu Xiaotian doesn't even need to look to know it's Qin Yuxi who's come."

Ye Cunxin didn't speak, but the grievance and unwillingness in her eyes turned entirely into tears, dropping one by one onto the ground.

Faced with Liu Xiaotian's obviously stiff smile, Qin Yuxi really couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated.

What Qin Yuxi is thinking right now is: the fish hasn't fully taken the bait yet, but it's not far off.

……

However, following the principle of "don't fight a battle you're not sure of winning," Liu Xiaotian still chose "don't cast the hawk until you see the rabbit"—he must wait for Qin Yuxi to make the first friendly move.

"Bang! Ah!"

Qin Yuxi also couldn't be bothered to waste more words on him; she walked straight up to Ye Cunxin, helped her up, and asked gently: "Are you all right? Do you want to go to the health team for a check‑up?"

At the same time he realized that Qin Yuxi was probably the "assistant instructor" He Zhijun had mentioned before leaving.

"Hmph, is it just that you look down on me, grandma? I'll settle this score with you later!"

"Good."

If you're not convinced, find a way to make yourself stronger, come fight me, and if you beat me, that counts as revenge, right?

But now she knows she must give him enough face, or rather, prestige.

Perhaps this is the mindset of a straight man.

He just can't figure it out—are these two senior officers muddle‑headed? Why did they bring Qin Yuxi here to do what?

Although she doesn't come from an extremely wealthy family, as the family's only daughter she grew up under her parents' pampering—when has she ever suffered such grievance? Yet in Liu Xiaotian's eyes, her tears held nothing worthy of pity; instead they made him feel a bit disgusted.

Just these few sentences utterly ruined what could have been a romantic scene, turning it into a complete mess.

Otherwise, once you end up with a nose full of dust, how embarrassing would that be?

"All right! What are you crying for? Do you think you're Meng Jiangnu? Even if you were, I'm not the Great Wall; trying to cry me down is definitely impossible."

Just then, a slightly reproachful voice suddenly came from not far away:

But once you've signed the contract and paid the money, then go to hell—it instantly lets you taste the gap between heaven and hell.

Given Qin Yuxi's intelligence, she can naturally see why Liu Xiaotian has that "deserving a beating" expression.

Of course, seeing Qin Yuxi again naturally brings more joy.

"Grandma" has laid out such a big "fish bait" here; as long as you take a bite, heh heh…

"You first squeeze out tears in front of me—do you really expect me to feel sorry for you?"

By now Ye Cunxin had stopped shedding tears; she lightly shook her head to indicate she was fine, and at the same time asked Qin Yuxi softly: "Are you the assistant instructor?"

Qin Yuxi nodded:

"Yes, I'm Qin Yuxi; I'm specifically responsible for the daily life of your women's special forces unit—any problems or difficulties, just come find me."

Ye Cunxin nodded, her gaze turning again toward the already distant Liu Xiaotian, her eyes full of hatred……
