Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 58 Sleeping together? Sharing a room?

"She is Qiu Ruoshui."

When Yan Zhi Ning noticed Qin Jian's gaze, she casually introduced him.

Then she looked up and said, "Bing'er, Qin Jian will officially join our academy from now on, and he will also be the captain of the Tianshui team. You will live with him."

The amount of information in that one sentence was so great that Shui Bing'er and Qiu Ruoshui both misheard it.

"Instructor Zhi Ning, a male student has actually joined our Tianshui Academy? And he's even become the captain of our Tianshui team? And he's going to live with Bing'er?"

Qiu Ruoshui repeated it blankly.

Yan Zhi Ning nodded and said, "Xue Wu, go pack your things. Bing'er, you help Qin Jian with the admission procedures. You'll also be the one to show him around the academy. I have to go to a high-level meeting."

Ignoring Xue Wu's unpleasant expression, she walked out on her own.

Several people looked at each other.

"Xuewu, does that mean you can't live with Bing'er anymore?"

Qiu Ruoshui came down the stairs: "Wow, our future captain is actually a guy, I never would have guessed..."

"There's much more you wouldn't expect..."

Xue Wu said sullenly, "Teacher Zhi Ning actually let a man like him live with Bing'er. I really don't know what she was thinking. What if she has some bad intentions..."

"Hey, Xuewu, right? I'm standing right next to you. Is it really okay to just say it like that?" Qin Jian said speechlessly.

"snort!"

Xue Wu snorted at him fiercely, then raised her head and walked up the stairs, stepping into the room where Shui Bing'er had come out. Then, the sound of ping-pong balls came from inside.

"He's so angry. All he did was take her place..." Qin Jian shook his head.

"More than that..."

Qiu Ruoshui said with a grin, "From now on you'll be sleeping with Bing'er, who's Xuewu's favorite. How could she possibly be happy?"

"Ruoshui, don't talk nonsense!"

Shui Bing'er's face flushed slightly: "I only share a room with him, we don't sleep together."

"It doesn't matter..."

Qiu Ruoshui waved her hand and walked back to her room with a smile: "You two have a good time getting to know each other, I won't bother you."

Only Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er remained in the hall, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"You helped me in the Soul Hunting Grounds last time, and I haven't thanked you yet," Shui Bing'er said, her head bowed.

Qin Jian smiled and said, "That's fate, I guess. Who knew we'd become roommates?"

"roommate…"

Shui Bing'er felt the heat on her face hadn't even cooled down before it was about to burn up again.

She did not refuse Yan Zhi Ning's arrangement, nor was she unhappy that Qin Jian had taken the captain's position that originally belonged to her. This was not only because she was not used to refusing, but also because she had a good impression of Qin Jian.

Shui Bing'er will always remember the rescue in the Hunting Grounds and his dedication to Ning Rongrong.

"Did you join the academy alone? Didn't Ning Rongrong come with you?" she asked curiously.

After all, back at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, everyone could see how good the relationship was between Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong.

It's rather strange that Qin Jian has come to Tianshui Academy alone...

Surely he couldn't really be after these pretty girls, right? Shui Bing'er didn't believe Qin Jian was that kind of person.

"Rongrong, she..."

Qin Jian's heart skipped a beat, but his face showed no sign of distress: "She should stay and cultivate at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; it's more suitable for her there."

"oh…"

Shui Bing'er instinctively felt that things weren't as simple as Qin Jian made them out to be, but she was too embarrassed to press him further.

So she went upstairs to check the room and saw that Xuewu was still packing her things up. She came back and said, "Xuewu probably won't be able to pack up for a while. Let me show you around the academy first."

Qin Jian nodded and followed Shui Bing'er out...

"Bing'er seems quite happy..."

Xue Wu suddenly appeared at the doorway, muttering unhappily, "Are you really that happy living with a guy after separating from me?"

"Of course I'm happy, hehe..."

Qiu Ruoshui had appeared at the doorway sometime earlier: "Didn't you notice that since she came back from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, at least half of her sentences mention Qin Jian? I think she's fallen for him!"

Xue Wu's expression grew even more sullen: "Hmph, all men are big pigs!"

"What big pig's trotter?"

Just then, another girl in an ice-blue short skirt walked in through the door.

Xuewu's eyes lit up: "Yue'er, you're back? Did you finish your classes today?"

"No, I have another class with my sister. Where is she?" Shuiyue asked.

"Your sister..."

Xue Wu's eyes darted around, and she suddenly said, "She ran off with a man."

"What?"

Shui Yue'er looked bewildered: "Where would a man come from in our academy?"

"It's Qin Jian, the one your sister's been mentioning these past few days..."

Xuewu stepped forward and hooked her arm around Shuiyue'er's neck, saying, "He not only came to our academy, but he also took your sister's place. More importantly, Instructor Zhining assigned him to live with your sister!"

"What?!"

Shui Yue'er immediately grabbed Xue Wu's arm: "Xue Wu, you're kidding, right? How could Instructor Zhi Ning make such an arrangement?"

Xue Wu shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, it's all true. Instructor Zhi Ning has already gone to a high-level meeting to prepare for Qin Jian's admission to be approved by all the higher-ups."

"That's good then. Instructor Zhi Ning's suggestion will definitely not be approved, especially by Instructor Xiao Jing."

Shui Yue'er said casually, "He might not even be able to stay today; he'll probably be kicked out soon."

Xue Wu said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but just in case, we should do something, right? Otherwise, can you really just stand by and watch your sister sleep with a man?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Shui Yue'er shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum: "I haven't even slept with her yet, how can a man beat me to it?!"

"Hey! You two watch your words. It's not that we slept together, it's just that we shared a room..." Qiu Ruoshui said cheerfully.

"Shut up!"

Xue Wu said irritably, "You look so happy, you woman with no principles."

Shui Yue'er blinked: "Sharing a room... seems even more awkward than sleeping..."

Qiu Ruoshui: "..."

Xuewu waved her hand: "Don't worry about that, Yue'er. Aren't you going to class? Your sister will definitely be there too. Qin Jian isn't familiar with the academy, so they might end up together. How about you embarrass him then?"

"To embarrass him?"

Shui Yue'er stroked her delicate chin and said, "That's easy. Our lesson was about understanding and applying water-type martial souls. He definitely doesn't understand anything. I'll just stir up trouble and call on the new student, and a male student at that, to answer questions, hehehe..."
