    Qiao Qiao went back to his room and changed into regular clothes.

    Chen Yuhua did not allow students to look at their mobile phones during training, so she muted her mobile phone and put it on the table. Now she picked it up and glanced at it casually, and found that there were several missed calls, all from Zhou Yuanchuan.

    Mr. Zhou…he’s back?

    Qiao Qiao didn’t bother to put on her skirt and hurriedly dialed back. The man picked up the phone quickly. The man’s voice was soft and smiling, like a spring breeze: “Qiao Qiao?”

    “Mr. Zhou, are you back?” Hearing the familiar voice, Qiao Qiao’s nose felt sore inexplicably, “You and Song… when did you come back?”

    It’s so dangerous, I almost forgot to tell you on the phone that it’s not safe.

    “Just got off the plane.” A car horn sounded from the other side of the phone, and it sounded like it was on the road. “Where are you? I’m going to find you.”

    “Well… it’s very hard to travel all the way. You should rest first tonight.”

    The man’s voice became weaker and a little aggrieved: “I want to see you.”

    But I just made an appointment with Cheng Xiu to visit the night market.

    She was hesitating and didn’t know how to answer. Zhou Yuanchuan immediately guessed the answer and asked tentatively: “Are you busy tonight?”

    Qiao Qiao felt so guilty. She thought that the other party would come to her as soon as she got off the plane. She couldn’t say no to her: “It’s not like there’s something wrong, it’s just that I made an appointment with someone else…”

    “I see, then you guys have fun.” The man walked her down the stairs understandingly, without even asking who she was dating. “I’ll go to the hotel to stay first, and then I’ll find you after you finish.”

    “It’s better not to wait for me. I don’t know what time I want to go shopping.”

    “It doesn’t matter.” Zhou Yuanchuan smiled, “As long as I can see you, I’ll be satisfied.”

    Wow, this is what he said, who can refuse!

    “Otherwise, Mr. Zhou, let’s come too!” Qiao Qiao blurted out, “It’s a night market anyway, it’s more lively when there are more people.”

    “Really?” The tone on the other end of the phone suddenly rose, and he was obviously very happy, “Great! But I…I haven’t visited the night market much, so it may not be lively, and I will disappoint you.”

    Oh my god, how can there be such warm people in the world!

    “It’s okay, it’s okay!” Qiao Qiao shook his head desperately even though he knew Zhou Yuanchuan couldn’t see it, “I will never be disappointed in Mr. Zhou!”

    “That’s good.”

    You can really imagine his pouty smile through the phone line.

    But it was nice to win people over for a while, so how could I tell Cheng Xiu about Zhou Yuanchuan’s following?

    She left the room thoughtfully. Cheng Xiu had already been waiting at the door. He changed out of his black training clothes and wore a casual hooded sweatshirt and loose pants. He was very different from his usual image. He was not so sharp. Instead, he looked like a large fluffy dog, majestic and docile.

    Seeing Qiao Qiao coming out, Cheng Xiu nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the elevator.

    He didn’t speak, so Qiao Qiao didn’t know how to open his mouth, so he had to follow him, hoping to find a chance to confess on the way.

    Chen Yuhua walked over and greeted Cheng Xiu loudly: “Hey, we finally made an appointment?”

    The corners of Cheng Xiu’s mouth curved slightly, indicating his acquiescence.

    “Qiao Qiao, you have to go shopping with him.” Chen Yuhua winked, “I have been thinking about this person since he came out of the hospital. I have been looking forward to it for a long time.”

    Qiao Qiao:……

    Let’s not talk about it for now.

    There are only two streets between the night market and Xingcheng. When night falls, both sides of the road are filled with stalls selling various products. One or two small lamps are lit in front of each stall. Viewed from a high place, it looks like two galaxies running side by side.

    The flow of people was getting thicker and thicker, and the only way to go forward was on foot. Cheng Xiu parked the car in a parking lot closest to the night market.

    He took two steps and found that Qiao Qiao had not followed, so he looked back strangely.

    Qiao Qiao said bravely: “I’m sorry, actually… I have an appointment with someone.”

    She didn’t dare to look at Cheng Xiu’s expression and whispered, “Can you wait for him here for a while?”

    After waiting nervously for a while, I heard the man calmly say one word: “Okay.”

    “I’m sorry…”

    Cheng Xiu’s answer was to gently rub her hair.

    Wow, I’ve obviously been prepared, why does my conscience still hurt so much?

    Not long after, Zhou Yuanchuan also arrived.

    He seemed to have dressed up carefully. He was wearing a dark blue shirt on his upper body. The material was like satin. When the light shined on it, it would flash a faint ripple-like luster. Even a person like Qiao Qiao could tell that it was valuable.The pants are also very crisp, and the details of the shoes are difficult to see because they are dark, but with Zhou Yuanchuan’s usual style, the price is not much cheaper than the clothes.

    The only problem is… he is dressed a little too formally, not like a night market visitor at all.

    Qiao Qiao glanced at the passers-by and said, well…a big vest, big pants, and a pair of flip-flops, this is the standard outfit for visiting the night market.

    “What’s wrong?” Seeing Qiao Qiao constantly looking at his outfit, Zhou Yuanchuan was a little nervous, “Don’t I look good in this outfit?”

    When the wind blows, a very faint smell of tea-flavored cologne rushes into the nose… Does this guy not know that the night market is full of spicy hotpot and grilled squid stalls?There is absolutely no point in wearing perfume!

    “No, it’s pretty good.” Qiao Qiao smiled.

    Now that people are here, he can’t be allowed to go back and change clothes. He can only protect the delicate fabric a little while shopping to prevent the delicate fabric from being scratched.

    Cheng Xiu glanced at Zhou Yuanchuan lightly, then turned and walked toward the night market. Zhou Yuanchuan didn’t take it seriously and followed him with a smile.

    Qiao Qiao wiped his sweat secretly. Why did he think…it was a mistake to ask two men out at the same time?

    Cheng Xiu and Zhou Yuanchuan were both people who had never visited the night market, but Cheng Xiu had such a sharp eye that he could basically decipher the items sold at roadside stalls with just a glance. Years of training did not allow him to do anything like looking around, so he seemed to be the calmest among the three.

    The same cannot be said for Qiao Qiao and Zhou Yuanchuan. They couldn’t walk more than a few steps before they were attracted to the gadgets on the roadside. They would play with the rabbits and pick up a toy to look at, which seriously slowed down their progress.

    The crowd in front suddenly burst out with a series of “Okay”, and there seemed to be some excitement.

    “Let’s go take a look.” Qiao Qiao took the lead and pushed forward, pulling Cheng Xiu and Zhou Yuanchuan into the inner circle.

    “What, it turns out to be a boxing machine.”

    The crowd surrounded a small open space. In the middle of the open space was a two-meter-high game console with an upright cushion embedded in the middle. People punched against this cushion, and the game console could give out scores ranging from high to low based on the strength of the punch.

    There is also a sign on the machine: if you score more than 80 points, you will get a small doll for free, and if you score more than 90 points, you will get a big doll for free.

    The number on the display screen stayed at 91 points. A muscular man proudly did a few bodybuilding moves to the crowd. It seemed that the burst of applause just now was because of him.

    “The doll is quite cute.” Qiao Qiao felt a little regretful, “But I can’t win, so let’s go.”

    Someone grabbed her wrist, and Cheng Xiu looked at her with dark eyes: “Want it?”

    “Huh? Oh, it’s okay, it’s not special – Cheng Xiu? What are you doing?”

    The man had already let go of her hand and walked straight away from the crowd to the boxing machine.

    “Sir, would you like to play a game?” The stall owner immediately stepped forward and said, “Ten yuan a handful, no charge for 80 points or more.”

    “Yeah.” Cheng Xiu stood still in front of the boxing machine.

    He was not a strong-bodied person to begin with, and because of his loose clothes, he looked smaller than a muscular man, so no one took him seriously.

    The muscular man said proudly: “Boy, don’t try. Your body is too weak to pass.”

    Cheng Xiu didn’t even look at him, waiting for the vendor to reset the machine’s value to zero.

    The muscular man persisted in persuading: “Listen to my brother and get down. Otherwise, I just hit 91 and you hit 61 next. It’s so embarrassing. You might as well let me enjoy my life for a while.”

    Qiao Qiao had already seen Cheng Xiu’s intention. She knew how explosive the body hidden under the inconspicuous fabric was, but the muscles of the muscular man looked a bit intimidating.

    “Okay, okay.” The vendor adjusted the machine, “It’s ready to be shot!”

    Cheng Xiu raised his right fist, but hesitated to make a move, as if he was assessing where the fist would land.

    Muscular Man: “Come on, I can tell you are a layman just by looking at your posture. You need to exert strength from your waist to punch. You just raise your fist to push the butt——”

    “Bang!”

    The sound of the solid meat hitting the mat was so loud that Qiao Qiao even felt that he could faintly hear the sound of breaking wind.

    The surrounding audience was stunned. The next second the machine burst out with a dazzling red light, and the numbers on the display soared, breaking through 60, 70, 80, 90… at an extremely fast speed…

    Finally, it stayed at 96 points.

    This was just an ordinary punch from Cheng Xiu, not even using his full strength.

    The muscular man opened his mouth so wide that he looked at Cheng Xiu as if he were an alien. The latter walked up to the equally frightened vendor expressionlessly: “Things.”

    “Oh!” The vendor woke up from a dream and immediately carried out a large cardboard box. He looked at Cheng Xiu with a bit of fear in his eyes, “They are all here, you can pick whatever you want!”

    Cheng Xiu carefully selected for a long time before returning with a dog pillow that was as big as a person.

    He didn’t say much, just handed it to Qiao Qiao, then stood aside and closed his eyes to rest.

    “How despicable.” Zhou Yuanchuan held his chin and said with a smile, “Why didn’t I think of such a good idea? Xiao Qiao, do you think I can get the doll if I go to fight?”

    Qiao Qiao was still immersed in the impact of the giant pillow, and she quickly came to her senses after being asked this question. However, she looked at Zhou Yuanchuan’s thin wrists, then at the hard red cushion, and shook her head like a rattle: “Mr. Zhou, please don’t let your mind wander.”

    “Forget it.” Zhou Yuanchuan said in a regretful tone, “If I had known this would happen, no matter how busy I am, I would still have to find some time to exercise, otherwise all the limelight would be taken away.”

    “…”
