Qiao Qing answered, “I will go find Mu Jinghang.”

Jun Yexuan grabbed onto her hand and refused to let go, “Mu Jinghang isn’t as strong as you. What if he causes me fall?”

Qiao Qing, “…”

Did he compliment or mock her?

Jun Yexuan reacted right away, “Those who know martial arts are normally stronger than regular people. I’m complimenting Qingqing’s capabilities.”

“Let go,” Qiao Qing

Jun Yexuan realized that her face was now cold and didn’t dare to press any further.

He loosened his hand and rubbed his nose, “But, I really do want to use the bathroom.”

Qiao Qing turned around right away to go find Mu Jinghang. Though who knew that the moment she opened the door, the two eavesdroppers outside would fall into the room.

Qiao Qing spun around and caught He Wanqing.

She spoke directly to the fallen Mu Jinghang and said, “Help him to the washroom.”

He Wanqing took a look at Jun Yexuan, who laid on the bed, and shrieked in shock, “Baby, what happened to little Xuan?”

Mu Jinghang eyed the wound on Jun Yexuan’s chest and he too stared at Qiao Qing questioningly.

Qiao Qing parted her lips but no words came out.

Jun Yexuan coughed gently and said, “Last night, I wanted to test whether or not the new blade I bought was sharp. So I used myself as the test subject. What do you know? The blade was sharp.”

Qiao Qing, “…”

He Wanqing and Mu Jinghang, “???”

He Wanqing covered her face with her hands, “I thought little Hang was stupid enough, why is little Xuan also being dumb now? Is that why there’s the saying – he who lies with dogs will rise with fleas?”

Mu Jinghang, “???”

Qiao Qing frowned. She slammed the door shut, grabbed He Wanqing, and turned around, “Mom, let’s go eat downstairs.”

Mu Jinghang walked to Jun Yexuan and pressed around his wound. He murmured, “Is this worth it, my brother?”

Jun Yexuan looked very pleased with himself, “Can’t you see that I am sleeping in Qingqing’s room, lying on her bed? I think this was a profitable trade for me.”

Mu Jinghang rolled his eyes, “No wonder everyone says those who are in love are fools. When you get to sleep in the same bed as her, you can get snarky with me.”

Jun Yexuan stated, “Get out of here. Help me go use the washroom.”

Mu Jinghang snapped back, “You’re not afraid I’d make you fall?”

Jun Yexuan squinted his eyes, “Mu Jinghang.”

Mu Jinghang was scared off immediately. He helped Jun Yexuan up and said, “Just how long are you planning on punishing Xiaoqi?”

Jun Yexuan responded, “Didn’t I make that clear?”

“…my brother, it’s just me here, stop being difficult. Planting flowers? He’s not going to be able to get out of his tent without freezing to death. Asking him to plant perfume flowers on an island where birds don’t even sh!t is the same as exiling him.”

Jun Yexuan nodded. “So he dares to complain to you. We’ll see after he’s there for three years.”

Mu Jinghang, “…”

Three years… he’s going to be a popsicle by then.

Mu Jinghang heard the determination in Jun Yexuan’s voice and didn’t dare to bring up Jun Xiaoqi anymore, “Then, about Chi Yang…”

Jun Yexuan’s eyes turned old, “He was unloyal once so I cannot trust him again. To keep an unfaithful subordinate around will only bring trouble.”

Mu Jinghang rolled his eyes again. So he was scared Qiao Qing would get hurt.

Though the actions Chi Yang and Jun Xiaoqi took were wrong, their intention was to help Jun Yexuan out.

Of course, Mu Jinghang only dared to think those things. He valued life too much to say those things out loud.

Or else he would be sent away to god-knows-where.

When Qiao Qing arrived at school, she heard shouts and screams inside the classroom.

Luo Chen turned around and said, “Hi Qingqing, did you know that every year one student from the City of Brisk gets into the University of Capital City without having to take the entrance exam?”

Qiao Qing nodded. “What about it?”

Luo Chen responded, “I heard they changed the way that student is picked this year. It won’t be the high school authorities who choose that student, it will be the University Dean who makes the decision.”
