Douluo Continent: Getting Stronger After Heartbreak

Chapter 81 Staying Outside, Not Inside

"Then... what are the names of the students representing the Divine Wind Academy?" Qin Jian asked after thinking for a moment in the hall.

Yan Zhi Ning said, "His name should be... Feng Xiao Tian."

Qin Jian rubbed his temples speechlessly: "Then let's find out why he came. He's Huo Wu's suitor."

"Well…"

The group looked at each other in silence, unsure of what expression to wear.

"If Huo Wu insists on challenging Bing'er, she's just asking for trouble."

Qin Jian casually shrugged and said, "Bing'er is currently level 35 and can summon the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, so she can fight even at level 39."

"That's true."

Yan Zhi Ning smiled and said, "Bing'er is different now than before. Huo Wu is just asking for trouble."

"Then you all get some rest. Tomorrow we'll go and put out the fire of Blazing Academy..."

She waved her hand and said, "Now the whole academy knows you're back. If you lose again, you'll completely disgrace the team!"

They each returned to their rooms.

After Shui Bing'er closed the door, she saw Qin Jian lying sprawled on her bed.

"Qin Jian, that's my bed. You're sleeping in the wrong one," Shui Bing'er said.

"I like this bed, let's change it," Qin Jian said casually, lying down.

Shui Bing'er was immediately filled with questions and asked in confusion, "Huh? Why?"

"Because the scent of Bing'er on my bed has all faded, this one is much better, freshly baked," Qin Jian said, taking a deep breath.

"You rascal..." Shui Bing'er scolded.

"So, are you going to change or not?" Qin Jian sat up and asked with a grin.

Shui Bing'er rolled her eyes at him: "You're the captain, you're the one who calls the shots."

"Hmm? So the captain has the authority to assign beds..."

Qin Jian rubbed his chin, his eyes darting around.

Upon seeing this, Shui Bing'er immediately became wary: "What are you thinking about now?"

"Hmm...don't you think our bed is a bit small?" Qin Jian asked, looking up.

"I think it's already quite big..." Shui Bing'er said.

Qin Jian shook his head and said, "That's not enough. I can only roll three times in the same direction before I fall."

"Roll over three times?"

Shui Bing'er's eyes widened slightly: "Then I'll need two beds!"

"Yes, yes, that's what I think too." Qin Jian nodded repeatedly.

"What exactly do you want?" Shui Bing'er asked, blinking her beautiful eyes.

Qin Jian grinned: "How about we push the beds together and sleep together?"

"No!"

Qiu Ruoshui, who was walking down the corridor, suddenly stopped because she heard the sounds coming from Qin Jian and Shui Bing'er's room.

Then came Qin Jian's voice: "Why not? I think it's great!"

Qiu Ruoshui's interest grew, and she tiptoed to the door.

"No! Nowhere is good! We can't sleep together!"

Shui Bing'er's words made Qiu Ruoshui's eyes widen: "Is the captain about to make a move?"

"Then how can you agree to my request?" Qin Jian seemed to be pressing him.

"I... I will never agree... Ugh... What are you doing..." Shui Bing'er seemed to have been attacked.

"So, you still won't agree?" Qin Jian's voice sounded somewhat domineering.

"No...no, that won't do..." Shui Bing'er's voice became weaker.

Qiu Ruoshui's eyes grew increasingly excited; she felt her captain was about to succeed!

"I promise I'll stay outside tonight and not go inside, okay?" Qin Jian said.

Qiu Ruoshui's eyes widened: "Outside, not in! Captain, you're really good at this trick!"

"Is it really only outside?" Shui Bing'er asked to confirm.

"Of course, I mean what I say," Qin Jian said.

"Well... okay then..."

Qiu Ruoshui darted out of the doorway and excitedly knocked on the doors of the other rooms, one by one…

Inside the bedroom.

Before anyone knew it, Shui Bing'er was pressed against the wall, her face flushed, while Qin Jian's hands were supporting her head on either side.

The legendary...wall-slamming technique!

"You can't go back on your word once you've agreed..."

Qin Jian said with a smile in his eyes, "I'll only stay on the outer bed, I won't go to the inner bed."

"Hmm... as long as you can do it, that's fine." Shui Bing'er thought for a moment and nodded.

"I will definitely do it, don't worry."

Qin Jian's strange smile made Shui Bing'er slightly uneasy, but she couldn't figure out what the problem was.

"Go wash up and take a shower, I'll bring the portable bed."

Qin Jian gave a shout and then pushed the bed away by himself.

Fortunately, soul power exists in this world, so as a level 27 Great Soul Master, pushing a bed is a piece of cake for him.

"Splash..."

Hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Qin Jian became somewhat distracted.

After returning to the Star Dou Great Forest this time, his mood improved a lot, and he finally let go of some of the things that had been bothering him before.

No matter what, family won't leave, right?

Moreover, life is lived in every moment. If he is saddened by the past every day and worried about the future that has not yet happened, then in the end he will only lose every moment of the present, which will gradually become a new past that makes him sad...

"No matter what lies ahead, I will live each moment to the fullest, so that I can be true to myself and to those who care about me."

Qin Jian let out a long sigh, a warm smile appearing on his face…

"Click..."

At that moment, Shui Bing'er also came out of the bathroom.

The girl had just emerged from her bath, and she exuded an unusual charm.

Qin Jian resisted the urge to look any longer and quickly rushed into the bathroom…

But when he finished tidying himself up and came out again, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Bing'er, you've gone too far!"

Shui Bing'er wrapped herself in the blanket, only her gentle, smiling head peeking out: "Didn't you say you'd only stay outside and not come inside? What's the impact of this?"

Qin Jian pointed to a row of books between the two beds, his lips twitching as he said, "This partition... is it for some kind of Zhu Yingtai?!"

"Who is Zhu Yingtai?" Shui Bing'er asked curiously.

"That's not important..."

Qin Jian stood with his hands on his hips in front of the bed: "I said I wouldn't sleep over there, and I mean it. Can't people trust each other at all?"

"I still think they can be trusted..."

Shui Bing'er said with a smile, "As long as you really don't sleep here."

Without saying a word, Qin Jian went up and stacked all her books in one go, carrying them back to the bookshelf.

Shui Bing'er watched his movements without moving until he sat on the edge of the bed, at which point she slightly tightened her grip on the corner of the blanket, showing a hint of nervousness.

Qin Jian lay on his side on the bed, looking at Shui Bing'er and smiling, "Do you want me to be really well-behaved and never go out like this? Or do you hope I won't break the rules?"

Shui Bing'er replied without hesitation, "You're a man, you'll definitely keep your word, right?"

In truth, she herself didn't know what she hoped Qin Jian would do...

If he doesn't cross the line, then there's no need to worry about that matter, but it also shows that she herself lacks charm...

If he crosses the line, she won't know what to do. After all, they're both still young, and it probably shouldn't be a bad thing to do it too early...

What to do if you have a baby...
