Chapter 374 - No, This Is a School!

“Pfft!” Xie Yingying, who was drinking water, thought that Instructor Xiang was going to fight it out with He Gao, but she heard this sentence?

She thought that Xiang Huai would be angry. After all this fuss, was he trying to make things difficult for Sister Xi?

This was the first time she had seen someone pamper their girlfriend to this extent!

Everyone was also stunned. They did not know what this instructor was thinking.

Xiang Huai was very angry.

She had known the little kid for a year and she had never taken the initiative to buy him water. Now that she was buying a bottle for He Gao, the boy actually did not know how to appreciate her kindness?

This is too much!

He Gao seemed to be stunned by the question. He frowned. “Huh?”

Xiang Huai’s eyes were cold. “Where’s the water?”

He Gao: “...I just drank it.”

Xiang Huai was now even angrier. You’ve already drunk the little kid’s water, yet you still want her to be laughed at? Hence, he pointed to the side and ordered, “Stand for as long as she stands!”

He Gao: “...”

Calculating the time, Xue Xi had been standing for more than half an hour. Coupled with the half an hour before her first rest, it had been an hour!

He Gao’s expression changed a few times as though he felt that the person in front of him was unreasonable. However, he did not go against his orders and said reluctantly, “Yes!”

After saying that, he walked to Xue Xi’s side and stood up straight. He placed his hands by his side, puffed out his chest, and raised his head. Both of them were wearing military training uniforms. No matter how one looked at them, they looked like a golden couple.

The classmate resting at the side could not help but sigh. “Let me say, He Gao should agree to the girl’s pursuit. Look at their looks. They’re too compatible!”

Xiang Huai, who happened to hear this: “?”

Xiang Huai did not speak further. Instead, he looked at Instructor Li and his eyes darkened.

Following that, he said, “Xue Xi.”

Hearing him speak, Xue Xi thought for a moment and replied, “...Yes.”

Xiang Huai: “Follow me!”

Xue Xi: “...Yes!”

Instructor Li paused. “General Xiang, where are you taking Xue Xi?”

Xiang Huai shot him a glance and his eyes were cold. “Didn’t you say that she doesn’t obey orders? Then I’ll discipline her personally!”

Instructor Li: “?”

He took a deep breath.

They had heard of General Xiang’s legend.

It was said that he had personally trained a few people. When they returned and were asked about it, they all said that living was worse than death. They felt as though their bones had been changed.

Hence, everyone was very afraid of him.

Although Xue Xi looked down on them, he could just punish her by making her stand in a military posture. There was really no need for General Xiang to personally train her!

Instructor Li said, “There’s no need for that, right?”

Xiang Huai did not speak and merely shot him a glance. Instructor Li instantly stood up and did not dare to speak.

Xiang Huai placed his hands behind his back and slowly walked to the side. “Come here.”

Xue Xi followed and took two steps before seeing Xiang Huai stop and look at her. “Water.”

Xue Xi: “...”

She ran to the spot where the girls had rested and took her bottle of water. As she followed Xiang Huai, she opened the bottle cap and took a sip.

Although she was not tired from standing under the sun, she still felt that her body was sticky.

After drinking some water and moistening her throat, she realized that Xiang Huai had brought her to a more crowded area.

Xue Xi followed behind Xiang Huai and saw that there were fewer and fewer people around.

The weather was very hot today. The weather forecast had said that it was about 31 degrees, so there were very few students who came out to shop in the afternoon.

The class had yet to end and the freshmen were all dispersed to the field for training. Hence, there was actually no one around the pool.

As they walked, Xiang Huai slowed down and Xue Xi unknowingly stood beside him. Xiang Huai then said, “He’s not Gao Yanchen.”

Xue Xi clenched her jaw and resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

So you know what’s going on.

But you’re still jealous and punishing me like this?

She paused and said, “I think he is.”

Xiang Huai explained, “He is He Gao, a member of the He family. Gao Yanchen’s mother’s surname is He. Perhaps he grew up with his mother, so he is very similar to the He family.”

Xue Xi frowned and still did not believe him. “Really?”

Is there really such a person as He Gao in this world?

Xiang Huai did not speak the truth or lie. He only said, “I’ve seen He Gao when he was young.”

Xue Xi bit her lip and lowered her head in disappointment. “Oh.”

...

...

Xue Xi did not return until lunchtime.

When Instructor Li was giving everyone military training, he was a little distracted. To be honest, being looked down on by a beautiful university student was indeed infuriating.

However, at this moment, Xue Xi must be being tortured by General Xiang—

For example, Xue Xi was likely carrying a heavy sandbag. Xiang Huai was holding a small leather whip in his hand. When she stopped, he would immediately swing it and hit her back.

Or, perhaps, Xue Xi was so tired that she fell to the ground and cried, “Instructor, I know my mistake! I won’t stop being serious anymore!”

However, Xiang Huai kicked her. “Get up and continue!”

...

These scenes kept replaying in his mind. He felt bad.

There was no need for that.

Her offense was not to this extent.

Why should he be calculative with a girl? Thinking about it this way, he felt that it was a little too much to punish her by making her stand in a military posture this morning.

Xue Xi, who he thought was suffering, was currently sitting in the dark pavilion and reading the book Xiang Huai had brought.

Beside her, Xiang Huai had taken out a small fan and was fanning it for her.

The cool wind blew. How unhappy!

Just as Xue Xi was reading seriously, Xiang Huai, who was standing beside her, suddenly lowered his head and slowly approached her. “Little kid...”

Xue Xi turned around and saw that his eyes were dangerous and filled with a sense of oppression. As he inched closer, Xue Xi’s eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat.

What did he want to do?

There was no one nearby. Did he bring me here to...

Seeing that his face was getting closer and closer, almost to the point where she could feel his breathing, Xue Xi tilted her head and said, “No, this is a school!”

Just as she said this, her hand became empty and the half-filled bottle of water was taken away by Xiang Huai.

Xue Xi: “?”

The man’s low laughter rang in her ears. “What did you think I was doing?”

Xue Xi: “...”

She suddenly stood up and took two steps away. Feeling the heat rising, she looked awkwardly at the trees on her left and right. In the end, she stopped in the pool and awkwardly changed the topic. “The weather is so hot!”

Xiang Huai’s long and narrow eyes were filled with mischief. He casually opened Xue Xi’s bottle and took two sips before passing the water to her. “Next time, just buy one bottle.”

Xue Xi: “...”

Just as she was about to be angry, she heard the man change the topic. “Why is Instructor Li filled with malice toward you?”
