"Meet again!" The implication behind her words was that she had already met him before. Gu Xiaoxi, being dense, naturally failed to notice.

But Quan Shaoqing, with an IQ of two hundred, could instantly analyze the hidden meaning behind her words.

The more Gu Xiaoxi scrolled down, the more uneasy she felt.

Yi Chentian’s messages were not the only ones there.

[Xiao Xi, I’m sorry! I hope everything is well with you! I will wait for you, and I hope you can wait for me too. I will work hard so that I can be worthy of you.]

[...]

There were even many romantic sentences.

Back then, Yi Chentian sat alone on the dormitory’s balcony, facing the moonlight and writing poetry for her.

You’ve softened my heart!

Dear Xiao Xi

If the moon represents my heart

Then you should be able to feel my love for you

Because it is currently...

Bathing you!

Confessing to you!

Guarding you!

Yi Chentian looked up at the silver moon, his heart filled with melancholy. He was a romantic, and even his way of pursuing her was poetic.

He wondered if she would like it.

But all he wanted was to express his feelings.

In this world, the greatest sorrow is to miss out.

And he had missed out on her.

Looking at the poem, Gu Xiaoxi touched her nose! She lay down on the couch, her heart fluttering in an indescribable way.

She liked men with taste, romance, handsomeness, and cultivation—and Yi Chentian fit her standards to a T.

But it was a case of spilt water—it was too late!

She could no longer easily place him in her heart without any qualms. Sometimes, compared to being with Quan Shaoqing, the affairs of the heart didn’t seem to matter as much anymore.

Given ten Yi Chentians, she would not want to lose one Quan Shaoqing.

Because it was only with Quan Shaoqing that she felt safe and at home!

Nothing could be more precious than this.

"Feeling stirred?" Quan Shaoqing’s voice suddenly came from above Gu Xiaoxi’s head.

Startled, she immediately bounced up from the couch, and her mobile phone accidentally dropped to the ground.

"You scared me to death; you don’t make any sound when you walk!"

Quan Shaoqing was dressed in a silver nightrobe, the ties at his chest loosely knotted, exposing a rugged chest.

At this moment, his expression was dark, his eyebrows suppressing a rage. He bent over to pick up her phone and said with a chilling tone, "Seeing you clinging to the phone, you look so regretful. If you like him, just say it."

Gu Xiaoxi couldn’t understand the ominous meaning of his words.

Thinking of Yi Chentian, her face changed.

Indeed, it was his fault. If not for him, how could she have been dumped? "You’re realizing this now? I’ve told you long ago that I like him. Why else would I date him? If you had not interfered, perhaps we could be happy together now."

Quan Shaoqing felt a constriction at his chest at her words.

How could she admit it so freely?

She still liked Yi Chentian?

Gu Xiaoxi had also taken a shower, and wearing a sporty nightgown, she looked without her military uniform, adding a charming allure of a blossoming young girl, especially around her expressive eyes and fluttering long lashes, giving her an air of liveliness.

"Gu Xiaoxi!" Quan Shaoqing’s voice was extremely low, his gaze locking onto her eyes, leaving her with nowhere to hide.

He suddenly sat down beside her and grabbed her wrist with an air of warning, "I’ve told you, no dating allowed!"

Gu Xiaoxi felt a pain in her wrist from his grip; clearly, he was angry. Caught off guard, she was pulled into his embrace, and her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

With a rush, Gu Xiaoxi’s cheeks flushed red. Responding instinctively to his overbearing words, she retorted, "Why can’t I date!"

Her tone was full of discontent.

He was getting ready to marry someone else, so why couldn’t she date!

"I’m your guardian; I have the final say! Yi Chentian is not right for you." Quan Shaoqing thought about those messages from Yi Chentian, and it ignited a fire within him.

A mere soldier, daring to undermine him here; such audacity.

Gu Xiaoxi’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a faint pain in her wrist. She knew it was troublesome to have a guardian.

He had to control everything about her, not even allowing her to date. Who was he to say Yi Chentian wasn’t right for her?

With flushed cheeks and puffed-up cheeks, Gu Xiaoxi glared back at Quan Shaoqing, "Then who do you think is right for me? I’ll have to marry someone when I grow up. Zookeeper, you’re too controlling."

No matter how angry he got, she had her principles. The more he tried to control her, the more she wanted to rebel.

Quan Shaoqing narrowed his eyes, a glint of danger flickering within. His gaze fell on Gu Xiaoxi as if he wanted to bore a hole through her.

Gu Xiaoxi felt a chill down her spine, and the pain on her wrist made her grimace and say with some annoyance, "Let go, you’re hurting my hand."

With a cold snort, Quan Shaoqing released her hand, but in the next second, he seized it again, making her unable to break free.

With his other hand, he picked up her phone to unlock it, then scrolled to Yeh Bai’s messages, opened them, and placed the phone in front of Gu Xiaoxi, "What’s this about?"

What about?

Gu Xiaoxi was utterly bewildered, looking down at the messages from Yeh Bai.

In an instant, she felt as though struck by lightning, her scalp tingling.

Yeh Bai had sent a textbook!

Fuck!

She hadn’t even seen it, and he had gone and opened it.

Although the video wasn’t playing, the screenshot was eye-wateringly explicit.

Gu Xiaoxi stuttered and struggled to speak for a while.

A line of embarrassment involuntarily appeared on her forehead, and then she looked at Quan Shaoqing with a sheepish smile, "This has nothing to do with me. He sent it on his own initiative. I haven’t watched it; I swear, my thoughts are pure."

Quan Shaoqing obviously didn’t believe her, snorted coldly, and tossed the phone onto the couch.

Gu Xiaoxi knew he was looking for trouble again and quickly struggled to escape his grasp.

Little did she know, not only did she fail to escape, but she was also held even tighter by him.

She struggled fiercely.

Quan Shaoqing suddenly glared at her, grabbed her chin, and said with exasperation, "You’re not learning good things day by day, Gu Xiaoxi, you’re just asking for trouble."

Asking for trouble?

Who was disciplining whom?

Gu Xiaoxi slapped away Quan Shaoqing’s hand and said angrily, "Touch me again, and I won’t be polite anymore."
