Chapter 18: Look, Which One Is Handsome?

The warm light streamed in, bathing Qin Yingxia in its glow. Her hair shone, “Okay.”

This time, it was Jin Zhuo who hesitated. He had thought that with her shy nature, she would make a fuss.

He hadn’t expected it to be so smooth.

Qin Yingxia’s heart pounded. She held the tape measure and was about to get her hands on Jin Zhuo.

Jin Zhuo cooperated very well, consciously spreading his arms and letting her fiddle around in his embrace.

The girl held her breath and leaned closer to him. She could smell the fresh scent of Jin Zhuo up close.

She hugged him lightly, placing the tape measure parallel to his waist. Her fingertips brushed against him unintentionally, making his whole body tense.

“Down a bit…” Jin Zhuo held her wrist and moved it down a little.

Qin Yingxia was so nervous that there was a thin layer of sweat on the tip of her nose. “Okay.”

Jin Zhuo’s eyes shimmered like clear water. His thin lips curled slightly, and he turned his head slightly to look at her red earlobes.

He suddenly had a mischievous idea and blew lightly on her earlobe.

Qin Yingxia instantly bristled, leaning back. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and caught her before she could fall.

“Jin Zhuo, you scared me again.”

Just like the time with the suitcase.

“You’re sweating, are you hot?”

They remained in their position, unchanged. Qin Yingxia bit her lip, a little annoyed. She handed him the tape measure, “Waist circumference is 75.”

“Don’t be angry, let me measure it for you?” Jin Zhuo let go of her hand and pretended to measure her waist circumference.

Qin Yingxia didn’t move. Her voice was barely audible, “Don’t measure it for me.”

Jin Zhuo was simply a bad boy, he loved to tease her.

But she couldn’t bear to be angry with him.

“I really was wrong.” He suddenly laughed helplessly, “Xiao Qin, you are so magnanimous, huh?”

Qin Yingxia said softly, “…Okay.”

She obediently spread her hands, “I measured my waist circumference before, I don’t know if it’s changed.”

Jin Zhuo used the tape measure to circle her slender waist, “Measured before? How much was it?”

“57Cm.” Qin Yingxia was ticklish and laughed, trying to dodge.

He used a little force to pull her closer, “If you move again, I won’t be able to measure it accurately.”

Qin Yingxia: “I’m ticklish＞ㅅ＜”

He raised an eyebrow at her words, his tone suggestive, “Ticklish, huh…”

“Don’t you dare tickle me.” Qin Yingxia was truly afraid.

The girl was very close to him. Her warm breath fell on his collarbone, an indescribable itch.

When he spoke again, Jin Zhuo’s voice had already turned husky, “Okay, I won’t tickle you.”

“It’s 55Cm now, you need to eat more.”

Qin Yingxia wasn’t surprised. In her senior year, she had put in many times more effort than in the previous two years, and she had also lost some weight.

“Okay…”

Her eyes were bright, and when she looked at Jin Zhuo, they were always filled with sweet and obedient smiles.

Jin Zhuo couldn’t take it anymore. He pinched her chin and turned her face away, “You’re so thin, you won’t be able to handle military training…”

Qin Yingxia’s pink lips curved up. She asked deliberately, “Then if I can’t handle military training, will there be a handsome guy to help me up?”

“Handsome guy?” He deliberately looked around, then pointed at himself in surprise, “Oh～ So little Qin was calling me just now～”

She blushed and bit her lip, her face burning.

Jin Zhuo leaned in, his handsome face close to hers, “Look, which one is handsome?”

Qin Yingxia stared at his three-dimensional features, especially the captivating mole on his nose, and said softly, “You’re handsome everywhere…”

Every single feature was flawless, and together they formed the Jin Zhuo that Qin Yingxia loved.

Jin Zhuo knew that he was good-looking. He had been praised countless times since he was a child.

But…

The feeling of being praised by Qin Yingxia was something he had never experienced before.

“Then thank you for the compliments, little Qin?”

“…You’re welcome～”

Old Mrs. Chen had almost finished her CP-watching. She smiled and said, “Little beauty, you’re so thin. Leave your clothes here and go eat. Just come back to pick them up in an hour.”

Jin Zhuo nodded, picked up his phone to pay, and paid for Qin Yingxia’s share as well.

The two walked out of the tailor shop, and the number of people on the back street only increased, the entire street filled with the aroma of spicy hot pot.

“Thank you, Senior, for paying for me. I’ll treat you to dinner.”

Qin Yingxia didn’t want to transfer the money for sewing clothes to Jin Zhuo. She just wanted to owe him a favor, and then treat him to dinner, so that they could see each other more often.

Until Jin Zhuo got used to having her around.

Jin Zhuo licked his lips, suddenly feeling a little parched, “Okay, then, Little Qin, I want to eat ice cream.”

“Okay!”

Their appearances were too striking, standing together they were just so well-matched, the students who came to eat on the street all turned their heads back, unable to resist gossiping and discussing.

“They look perfect together!”

“Are Jin Zhuo and Qin Yingxia dating? They’re so sweet!”

“Probably not, have you forgotten Jin Zhuo’s famous saying? His mom doesn’t allow it.”

“You actually believe that? I think it’s an excuse!”

“Yes, what doesn’t his mom allow, it’s just that he hasn’t met the right person yet.”

“Whatever, I love shipping them!”

“Yes, yes, they’re both single anyway, what’s wrong with us shipping them?”

“Exactly, exactly!”

“…”

•  

Military training arrived as scheduled, and for a while, the playground became a sea of green heads, all wearing green military training uniforms, little people basking under the scorching sun.

“This school is killing me, I’m about to be sunburnt.” Yu Zhizhi was close to tears, muttering under her breath.

Unexpectedly, she was reprimanded by the instructor, “Who’s still talking?”

Yu Zhizhi pursed her lips.

Qin Yingxia stood next to her, feeling just as uncomfortable.

The military training mobilization meeting was held at 8 am this morning. They listened to the leaders’ speeches for three hours under the scorching sun. Fortunately, there were performances to watch during the period, so it wasn’t too boring.

The formal military training began at 2 pm. Less than half an hour into standing at attention, students began to fall one after another.

Yu Zhizhi watched as students who suffered from heatstroke in other teams were sent to the shade, and those who were more serious were directly sent to the infirmary to blow air conditioning.

She was eager to join them, wanting to close her eyes and fall to the ground.

But she was afraid that she would fall face-first and look really ugly.

“Pssst, pssst…” Yu Zhizhi sent a signal to Qin Yingxia.

Qin Yingxia’s attention was all on the team not far away, it was Jin Zhuo’s military training class.

She was able to persevere just by looking at Jin Zhuo’s training figure.

Yu Zhizhi waited for Qin Yingxia’s response for a long time, and without a second thought, she fell towards the side.

Qin Yingxia noticed a shadow suddenly falling in her peripheral vision, she was startled, “Zhizhi!”

“Zhizhi, you…” She quickly helped her up, worried.

Yu Zhizhi secretly opened her eyes a crack, “Faking it.”

Qin Yingxia blinked, immediately understanding, and took the opportunity to wipe off the lipstick she had applied to brighten her complexion.

You have to go all out when you’re acting…

The instructor stepped forward, “What’s going on?”

“Report, Instructor, Yu Zhizhi seems to have heatstroke.”

“Heatstroke?” The instructor’s gaze swept over her face, finally settling on her bloodless lips, “Quickly take her to the shade to rest.”

Qin Yingxia: “Yes, Instructor.”

“Instructor…” Yu Zhizhi feigned weakness and stretched out her hand, “I can hold on for a while…”

The instructor was touched by her spirit, “Health comes first, go to the infirmary!”

Yu Zhizhi could hardly contain the corners of her mouth, she secretly pinched Qin Yingxia’s arm, urging her to hurry up.
