The flustered Gu Qingjiu’s footsteps involuntarily slowed.

The instant she stopped, He Niancheng, who was walking ahead, seemed to sense it and stopped as well. He turned around and looked at her with a cold gaze.

“Walk faster.”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

She had originally planned on walking behind the Chief Instructor, but now that he noticed her stopping and even reminded her out loud, people around them started looking over. Gu Qingjiu suddenly knew what it meant to suffer in silence.

But she realized after a while that she was simply following her Chief Instructor around, and it represented nothing.

Hence, Gu Qingjiu still continued following behind He Niancheng.

When they had reached, Gu Qingjiu saw Yu Bao’er, Huo Yingcheng, and Nan Yingxuan chatting merrily in the distance.

As she was sipping her milk tea, Yu Bao’er saw Gu Qingjiu walk over and her eyes lit up instantly.

She wanted to go over and shout out her name, but when she saw the Chief Instructor standing in front of Gu Qingjiu, she swallowed her saliva and dared not walk over.

When He Niancheng entered the building, his presence added glitters to this narrow and simple shop.

Yu Bao’er thought that although the Chief Instructor appeared stern on the surface, he was flawlessly handsome!

After Gu Qingjiu had came in with He Niancheng, she immediately sat next to Yu Bao’er.

She said to her in a lowered tone of voice, “Bao’er, I ran into that scoundrel you beat up outside just now. He indeed went back to find helpers.”

The color of blood drained from Yu Bao’er’s face upon hearing this. She quickly stood up and sized up Gu Qingjiu, pulling her sleeves and asking, “Qingjiu, are you alright?”

“I’m alright.” Gu Qingjiu shook her head. She then said, “The Chief Instructor helped me. I sought help from him.”

“…”

Yu Bao’er gazed at Gu Qingjiu, then towards the Chief Instructor’s cold and aloof face.

Suddenly, she felt that Gu Qingjiu was a warrior.

Perhaps Yu Bao’er’s gaze made it obvious that she was looking at a hero, and with that, Gu Qingjiu wasn’t sure whether to laugh or to cry as a response.

On the other hand, He Niancheng started chatting with Huo Yingcheng and Nan Yingxuan.

They asked He Niancheng what he had done.

After He Niancheng had replied, Huo Yingcheng shifted his gaze to the two young lasses who were speaking in hushed tones.

“Qingjiu, what did your Chief Instructor do when I asked you to look for him?”

Since he wasn’t able to get an answer from He Niancheng, he decided to ask Gu Qingjiu instead.

Gu Qingjiu was about to reply, but then she felt like something was stuck in her throat after He Niancheng coldly glanced towards her.

Recalling what had happened earlier on, Gu Qingjiu felt that the little angel of a Chief Instructor perhaps preferred to keep a low profile. Hence, she paused a moment before coming up with an answer. “Nothing, I saw the Chief Instructor playing chess with someone.”

Gu Qingjiu wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt like the surrounding air had dropped several degrees after she said that.

Especially He Niancheng’s gaze at Gu Qingjiu—it was so cold and piercing that it made one’s heart tighten.

Gu Qingjiu felt like she had misspoken.

But Gu Qingjiu didn’t know what she had said wrong—wasn’t that He Niancheng’s intention?

At the same time, He Niancheng spoke coldly.

“Seems like I was only your benefactor for a moment.”
