Chapter 686: Chapter 689: The Taste of First Love
Instructor Qiao Zui glanced at her with his beautiful peach blossom eyes. His lips curled up in satisfaction, “Xiao Mi had a stomachache during the weighted endurance training, and I carried her back to the camp. Our relationship is not the same as with other instructors and students. We’ve shared hardships. Isn’t that right, Xiao Mi?”
Feeling embarrassed, Mi Sheng nodded and greeted Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei, her face radiating a rosy glow.
She recalled the time during military training when she had her period during the endurance training. Her stomach hurt so much that she could barely keep going and she fell on the mountain road.
Instructor Qiao thought she was seriously ill and carried her to the camp, running several kilometers without stopping.
Seeing his anxiety, she couldn’t bear it and whispered to him about her period despite feeling embarrassed.
She was laying on Qiao Zui’s back and saw his ears turn red bit by bit.
At that time, she thought that despite his peach blossom eyes that made him seem rather flirtatious, he was surprisingly innocent.
Many male students in their school bought sanitary pads for their girlfriends without flinching, yet Instructor Qiao’s ears turned red on hearing the phrase ‘menstrual period’.
He had carried her by running on the mountain road continually while comforting her and didn’t utter a word afterwards.
After he deposited her to her tent in the camp, he left.
When he returned after a short while, he handed her a glass of brown sugar water, told her to rest well and went back to his post.
Since then, she and Qiao Zui had no further contact.
After the military training ended and the instructors left the school, she never saw Qiao Zui again.
But Instructor Qiao Zui, with his captivating peach blossom eyes, seemingly flirtatious but incredibly dependable when it matters, had left an indelible mark in her heart.
Every time she saw someone carrying another person, she would remember the time she was lying down on Qiao Zui’s back while he was running.
Although he was tall, he was not overly bulky but had a typical inverted triangular figure with broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, looking somewhat slender. However, his back was muscular and he had a surprising burst of strength.
He and Fang Yao were the most handsome among all the instructors. Even long after the military training ended, she often heard the female students talk about him and Fang Yao.
She often thought about Qiao Zui and wondered whether she would have another chance to meet him.
She secretly thought that if she met Qiao Zui again in her life, she would offer him a drink to express her gratitude for the brown sugar water.
As it so happened, she was reunited with Qiao Zui.
The lavender in country Y was in full bloom, and she and her best friend Situ Jinse came to country Y to look at them. After coming out of a bar, they were harassed on the street by some thugs. Qiao Zui and Fang Yao coincidentally came out of the bar and helped them escape.
Meeting an acquaintance in a foreign place was already an exciting event, let alone meeting Qiao Zui, whom she had been thinking about for more than two years.
When Qiao Zui, claiming that it was unsafe for two single girls to stay outside, generously invited her and Situ Jinse to stay with him, she didn’t hesitate too much before accepting.
She was afraid that like last time, they would separate and then lose contact.
Following Qiao Zui’s example, she referred to Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei as “Uncle” and “Aunt”, her face turning incredibly red.
She didn’t expect “Uncle” and “Aunt”, as referred by Qiao Zui, to be so young.
Especially his “Aunt,” she must be younger than her, right?
However, since Qiao Zui was calling her “Aunt” quite formally, she didn’t feel comfortable calling her sister. It doesn’t seem right to take advantage of Qiao Zui, does it?
