Chapter 425: Na'er, Help Me!

"Qin Jian, Qin Jian, and over here, over here..."

Shui Bing'er suddenly acted like a little girl, pulling Qin Jian's hand and skipping into a Teaching Hall.

"This is where we first held hands; you pulled my hand and walked in through the front door that day."

Hu Liena followed silently behind, already on the verge of turning dark...

"And over here, do you remember my sixteenth birthday? I will never forget that birthday song and birthday cake for as long as I live."

Inside the grand auditorium, Shui Bing'er hugged Qin Jian tightly, unwilling to let go for even a moment.

Tianshui Academy truly held so many memories; every corner was filled with precious little moments.

If Hu Liena weren't following behind, Qin Jian would surely be very happily walking these paths he once walked with Shui Bing'er.

But right now, those fox eyes behind him were chilly, as if they were constantly firing cold arrows.

He suddenly wished he possessed Shui Bing'er's state of mind—letting nothing weigh on her heart; no matter the situation, she could face it with an Ice Heart.

Just like now, he knew Shui Bing'er had no intention of competing with Hu Liena, nor any desire to show off their past; she was truly just immersed in memories of the past, enjoying the joy of reuniting with Qin Jian in this moment.

Finally, the three of them walked to a pavilion; this was the place that held the most memories.

By now, most of the female students had finally dispersed.

Because Hu Liena behind them was just following silently and not causing a scene, the biggest attraction was gone, so they consciously stopped being lightbulbs.

"Qin Jian..."

Shui Bing'er suddenly gripped his hand tightly, standing before the pavilion, her gaze like water, gentle and moving: "This is the place where we lived together for over a year..."

"Huhu..."

The dark side of Hu Liena's heart began to grow wildly again.

"Our room, I applied to the Instructors to have it preserved..."

Shui Bing'er suddenly grabbed Qin Jian's hand with both of hers and shook it slightly, using a rare, coquettish tone: "Tonight, could you stay here with me?"

It had been too long since he had seen Shui Bing'er like this; Qin Jian's heart softened by three parts.

Hu Liena was already losing control...

"Na'er, can I ask you for a favor?"

Walking into the pavilion, passing through the familiar hall and corridor, Shui Bing'er was lost in memories, while Qin Jian was seizing the time to communicate with Na'er.

"What is it?" Na'er said indifferently.

Qin Jian then said: "Can you help me block Nana outside the room?"

Na'er's tone immediately became strange: "You want me to help you block that vixen, so you can spend the night with this ice woman?"

Why did that sound so scummy...

Qin Jian was covered in sweat.

But it was a rare world for two, and he really, really wanted to spend it with Shui Bing'er.

How could he convince Na'er?

Qin Jian's brain turned into a quantum computer...

"Na'er, haven't you always found her unpleasant? Whether in Slaughter City or the Pope Palace, you often went against her..."

Qin Jian weighed his words and said: "Now that there's such a good opportunity to watch her go crazy, don't you really want to try it?"

Na'er was silent for a moment, seemingly tempted.

But soon she said faintly: "Qin Jian... why do you think I'm hostile toward her?"

Qin Jian immediately shut his mouth.

What other reason could there be, wasn't it just jealousy...

"However, it wouldn't be impossible to help you once..."

Na'er's change in tone surprised Qin Jian.

"Mainly because this vixen is just too much; I've been nothing but eye-strained this whole time, it's time to teach her a good lesson..." Na'er muttered.

"Na'er is the best!"

Qin Jian almost raised his hands to cheer.

"Qin Jian, why do you suddenly look so happy?"

Hu Liena looked at Qin Jian suspiciously.

"Cough... not at all..."

Qin Jian hurriedly restrained the smile on his face.

Hu Liena continued to look at him suspiciously, feeling a huge sense of malice coming toward her; what on earth was going on?

"We're here..."

After walking around and finally reaching the second floor, Shui Bing'er stopped happily in front of a door.

"This is it, we lived here for a very, very long time; even now, I can still recall many things that happened inside..."

Shui Bing'er turned around and, to Qin Jian's surprise, looked at Hu Liena: "Um... Your Eminence Saintess."

"Huh? Are you calling me?"

Hu Liena raised her head, feeling very strange.

She was busy thinking about how to counterattack tonight and hadn't noticed what was happening at all.

"Yes, I would like to ask the Saintess for a favor."

Shui Bing'er's face was full of sincerity: "I know this will put you in a difficult position, but still... please let him stay with me for one night..."

She extended an Ice Jade-like finger and said: "Just one night."

This put Hu Liena in a very difficult spot.

Although she had the absolutely correct moral standing to refuse, the root of this matter wasn't about standing, but whether Qin Jian would be happy.

She had already clearly sensed that Qin Jian still deeply loved this girl who was like Ice and Snow.

Although she did not know why the two of them had broken up back then, it seemed impossible for Qin Jian to completely let her go...

In that case, if she firmly refused, while there would be nothing wrong with that, it would inevitably lead to Qin Jian's dissatisfaction.

But for a vixen like her to be magnanimous to such a degree was also impossible; what should she do...

A fox's brain turns very quickly, and Qin Jian almost only saw her eyes roll around once before she said: "It's not impossible to give you time to spend together, but I have one requirement."

"What requirement?" Shui Bing'er asked immediately.

Hu Liena looked at her and said seriously: "You cannot do things that only couples can do; after all, I am his current girlfriend, you can certainly understand my feelings, right?"

Shui Bing'er nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, I can agree to that."

"Eh?"

This answer of hers instead made Hu Liena somewhat puzzled: "You really agreed to me?"

Shui Bing'er smiled lightly: "Yes, all I want is to be alone with him; as for whether we do those things or not... what does it matter?"

Anyway, they couldn't do them right now; the Assessment didn't allow it, so using that to trade for one night together was more than worth it.

As Shui Bing'er thought about it, her eyes turned into crescent shapes, as if she were possessed by a little fox.

The real little fox naturally could not know what she was thinking, and seeing her be so sensible, she even breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if Shui Bing'er had insisted, she really wouldn't have known how to handle it...

"Thank you, Nana."

Qin Jian hugged Hu Liena gently: "I also promise you, I won't do anything reckless."

Hu Liena rolled her eyes, then tilted her head back slightly and bit his chin: "Only this once, no next time."

"Mm..."

Qin Jian nodded, let go of her, and walked into the room with Shui Bing'er.

Then, he casually left the Silver Dragon Spear at the doorway...
