Super Soldier King

“Sit!” Qin Yue saw the distracted look on Ye Qian’s face again and so she told him to sit.

Ye Qian couldn’t believe that the salary and compensation of teachers could be this good. Even though it was clearly better than it used to be, it was highly unlikely for an ordinary teacher to have her own office. So Ye Qian guessed that this woman must come from an influential family, or else how could she have such benefits? When he heard Qin Yue’s voice, Ye Qian regained his composure and sat on the chair across her.

“Ye Qian, I want you to understand that I don’t care what relationship you have with Director Huang. Since you are in my class, you have to follow my rules.” Qin Yue said earnestly.

Ye Qian was a little shocked, after all, he didn’t have any sort of relationship with the toad Huang Se Lang. He thought about it for a while but decided that it would be useless to defend himself. He only nodded his head with determination and replied, “I understand. As long as I am in your territory, I will follow your rules.”

Qin Yue couldn’t help but stare at him, feeling at loss for words. Ye Qian’s words sounded like he was used to talking among those people who were mixed up on the wrong side of the law. What did he mean her territory? Now that she thought about it, this xiaozi could really be a gangster, and he must be a debauchee outside of school so saying these words wasn’t strange for him. After a pause, Qin Yue continued speaking, “Now that you’re a student you have to look like a student. Look at how you’re dressed right now. It’s inappropriate.”

Ye Qian looked down to look at his clothes. He had just arrived from abroad and hadn’t really had time to buy new clothes. Aside from his two sets of security guard uniform, he only had this outfit, a military T-shirt, army pants and combat boots. Every article of clothing and his shoes were already faded because they were old. “Oh, I won’t hide it from you: I only have these clothes.” Ye Qian replied.

“You only wear this outfit all year round?” Qin Yue asked in surprise. She was a girl that liked cleanliness, and she would not dare to wear the same clothes for two days straight, not to speak of wearing the same clothes all year.

“Oh no, not at all. I just arrived from abroad and was in too much of a hurry so I didn’t get to bring my clothes. I still haven’t had time to buy any new ones so I have to put up with this for now.” Ye Qian replied.

“Oh, you went abroad for a while? In which country?” Qin Yue asked.

“The Middle East.” Ye Qian replied.

“Middle East? What did you do there? Study?” Qin Ye asked in astonishment. She heard that that place was currently at war. She had thought that Ye Qian would say he came from Europe’s M country. How could she have guessed that he’d say Middle East.

Ye Qian laughed and replied, “That place is a mess right now, so it’s really easy to make money.”

Qin Yue looked at Ye Qian puzzledly, she realized that the more she looked, the more confused she became. “You already have a job? Then what made you decide to come here to study?” Qin Yue asked.

Ye Qian leisurely got up and walked towards the window, looking outside. He didn’t speak for a long time. Ye Qian had studied how to fool people pretty extensively. He knew that acting brooding and sullen was a strong weapon against women. He sighed deeply and said, “I’m an orphan, ever since I was young I have never met my parents. I could only rely on begging in the streets, sleeping under the bridge and eating cold leftovers. Later on, I was adopted by a kind mind - that was when I got a family. But the old man who adopted me wasn’t rich, he only worked as a garbage collector, so I had no money to go to school. If it weren’t for him I would have died of hunger long ago. Even though he was poor, he gave me the warmth of a home. These past eight years that I have left home, I did not really achieve any great accomplishments, but at least I’m no longer hungry or cold. So I decided to make up for lost time. Going to college was one of my dreams. I just thought that if I could attend one class here, then I would not have any regrets.”

He did not lie to Qin Yue, these words came from his heart. He did not have to lie. He also did not think these matters were something to be ashamed about.

After Qin Yue heard his speech she became distracted. How could a girl like her understand this kind of lie. Since she was young, she was the precious daughter of her house. She couldn’t imagine what life for a child begging in the streets was like. She did not expect at all for Ye Qian to have this backstory. She stared at his back and thought to herself, “Perhaps he wouldn’t want me to think that it so unbearable a background.” Even though she didn’t know how Ye Qian made a living, she thought that the road must certainly have been very rough. After all, for somebody who had nothing at all and no connections at all, it wouldn’t be easy getting successful. She looked at the young man who exuded the mature aura of one who was much older, Qin Ye couldn’t help but feel lost, she thought, “He must have many stories.”

Ye Qian had just spoken passionately, he turned around and laughed and said, “I’m sorry, I was blabbing.”

Qin Yue shook her head and replied, “Since you now have this opportunity, I wish you would cherish it well. College life isn’t long, I imagine you wouldn’t wish to waste it?”

Ye Qin smiled lightly and replied, “Thank you. Let me tell you frankly, I won’t stay in this place for very long. I’m only here because it has been my dream for a long time. After all, I still have a lot things to take care of outside of school. I don’t have a lot of time for this.” Ye Qian knew that it was strange for him to say such things to a stranger. Perhaps it was like he had said earlier, that it felt as though he and Qin Yue had already met before. Isn’t this what people called fate?

When she heard Ye Qian say he wouldn’t be staying for very long, Qin Yue suddenly felt an unpleasant feeling rise in her heart. It was only for moment, Qin Yue quickly dispelled the feeling and said, “Since you have made your own decision, I won’t try to stop you.”

While the two people were speaking the door suddenly opened. A young man carrying a flower entered the room. When he saw Qin Yue a smile erupted on his face and he said, “Yue Yue, isn’t class over? I’ve already made the reservation, would you do me the honor of dining with me today?”

Qin Yue knitted her brows, a look of disgust appeared on her face. She shot a cold look the man and replied, “Wei Cheng Long . Don’t you have any manners? You don’t know how to knock? Also, call me by my full name, we aren’t that close.”

Wei Cheng Long looked a little ashamed but then quickly recovered and smiled, “Alright, alright, I’ll call you Qin Yue, is that good enough? Qin Yue, the restaurant reservation has already been made, and the car is waiting downstairs, would you give me this honor?”
