Super Soldier King

Chapter 42: The heart of a woman is a needle on a seabed

Zhao Ya shot looks of disdain towards Ye Qian and replied, "Uncle, are you in your right mind? How are we like a married couple? Don't you think that the two of us are like a flower poked into a pile of dung."

TL: This is idiom for a shame - like when an old man marries a young woman

Ye Qian grinned mischievously and replied, “Don't you think that a flower stuck into a pile of dung will bloom beautifully in time? If it were put in a vase it would just wilt.”

Zhao Ya shook her head helplessly and replied, “I don't think so. It's impossible for us to get married.”

Ye Qian shrugged then said, “I can't do anything about this, this engagement was your father's idea. If you don't want to then you should take it to him.”

“Do you think I wouldn't dare? I'm definitely going to call him later!” Zhao Ya replied.

Ye Qian smiled mischievously and did not say anything more. He still wasn't completely sure what type of person Zhao Tian Hao was, but most likely if he could use this reason as a way for Ye Qian to be able to protect his daughter then he would probably play along. How can a parent want their child to be alarmed? If they were to let Zhao Ya know that a hitman was after his father, she would be extremely worried. So Ye Qian was sure that Zhao Tian Hao would play along with him. However, he had to inform him first so he wouldn't be caught off guard.

The noon class was about to end. Ye Qian had not learned anything at all since he was bickering with Zhao Ya the entire time. Once the bell rang the students immediately yawned, as if they had just woken from a nap. Of course after staring at Qin Yue for so long even they would eventually get bored.

Ye Qian purposefully scanned the room with his eyes once more. Suddenly he noticed an old acquaintance, and he became stunned. Apparently the person had also seen him at that moment. After returning his look indifferently, he quickly left the room. Even though he had kept a nonchalant look, Ye Qian could still detect a trace of killing intent from his expression. Ye Qian's lips curled into a toothy grin. Even though the other person was a person with power, Ye Qian did not focus on his being powerful. It was the son of the municipal secretary.

After Qin Yue gathered her things and was about to leave the room, she stopped at the door and turned around to face Ye Qian and said, “Ye Qian, come with me.”

Ye Qian had a faint smile on his face as he said to Zhao Ya, “Xifu, your husband will go for a while. Wait for me.”

Zhao Ya stared stupefied at Ye Qian's smiling face and thought to herself, “This xiaozi is pretty handsome after all.”, but when she heard Ye Qian's words anger blossomed in her heart again. She was about to grab him to bite him again, but he had already slipped away. She was now alone in the room stamping her foot angrily, saying to herself, “Stinky gangster, ben xiaojie isn't finished with you.”

Ye Qian walked beside Qin Yue with a smug look on his face as they strolled wordlessly. He glanced at Qin Yue with a faint smile on his face. Qin Yue was used to being stared at by men, weren't there so many similar eyes looking at her during class anyway? However, she had never felt this uneasy before. She was suddenly feeling tense and self-conscious, contradictory with her thoughts. She angrily turned her head to face him, only to discover that his eyes were bright and his expression was clear unlike those other men who looked too intense, and she couldn't help but look as though she were at loss. After she stared blankly for a while, Qin Yue suddenly lost her coldness and anger and said in a calm tone, “What are you looking at?”

Ye Qian was surprised at Qin Yue's sudden change of expression and stared vacantly as if he had forgotten what to say.

Qin Yue was also surprised by Ye Qian's reaction. She suddenly wondered if she had something on her face or her body and lowered her head to inspect herself, her hand touching to check her face, but she did not find anything. She suddenly thought that this hoodlum must be playing tricks with her again, a dog can't stop himself from eating shit after all. Her brows furrowed, suddenly becoming cold again, “Didn't you hear me?”

Idiom: Dog can't stop himself from… = Bad habits are hard to change

Women are so fickle. Ye Qian was temporarily unable to adapt to Qin Yue's quick changing moods, but as a mercenary, he had had learned to quickly stabilize his own mood. He put on a fake expression of confusion and asked, “Eh? Were you speaking to me just now? I'm sorry, I was distracted and didn't hear. What did you say?”

Qin Yue really could not feel any anger towards this gangster anymore. He was too thick-skinned. She could only shake her head helplessly, then she asked, “I was asking you, what were you looking at me like that for?”

“Oh, I was just thinking about where I had seen you before.” Ye Qian replied.

“Where you had seen me before? Wasn't it in the dean's office just a while ago?” Qin Yue replied.

“No, I mean even before then!” Ye Qian knitted his brows, deep in thought.

Qin Yu smiled and said, “Ye Qian, now you're just pretending. This way of picking up girls is old. Besides, I'm your teacher. You can't expect to shine brightly from a little sunlight. Just because I'm a little good to you, you can't just freely talk nonsense. Let me tell you seriously that I just don't want you as a rat to ruin the porridge. So I'm asking you to exercise a little restraint in the future. Or else, I will keep my word, and the moment you make any mistake I will tell you to beat it!”

Ye Qian smiled mischievously, “I wouldn't dare! In the next class I will definitely pay attention and not cause a disturbance.”

As long as one could own up to his mistakes and work to change himself, it would be great. Qin Yue was now feeling a little better towards this gangster, she no longer felt the hate she felt when she saw him the first time. She nodded her head slightly and said, “Not only in my class, you also have to pay attention in other classes.”

“Sure, I will, I will. I will be a good student and study well everyday and strive to become a teacher after graduation.” Ye Qian said nonsensically.

“You also want to become a teacher” Qin Yue asked, quite baffled.

Ye Qian chuckled then said, “I was kidding. Don't you think that if I became a teacher I would lead the kids astray.”

Qin Yue helplessly shook her head and didn't say anything more. When they reached the office Qin Yue opened the door and went in first, then Ye Qian heard her say, “Please come in.”. She went to her desk and took a seat. Ye Qian smiled, a thought suddenly came into his head, “What is the salary of teachers anyway? Even an ordinary teacher has her own office huh?”
