To be honest, Gu Hanfeng himself knew that he held no special feelings for Qiu Yunzheng, let alone could he possibly have fallen for her.
He just inexplicably felt that Qiu Yunzheng was a rather simple-minded child whom he needed to protect, otherwise she would be devoured by others.
Well, no need to explain further—to put it bluntly, he wanted to be a painless father, to have a beautiful and well-behaved daughter.
Originally, Gu Hanfeng had no plans to marry or have children. Then Qiu Yunzheng appeared, and with a ten-year age gap between them, Gu Hanfeng, being quite mature for his age—if not for his handsome face—would have seemed even older.
Gu Hanfeng always kept a stern expression, rarely spoke, showed little emotion, and had a fierce glare. One might easily mistake him for being in his forties or fifties.
“Ahem, alright, let’s go in and catch them. If we’re late and something happens to Qiu Yunzheng, it would defeat my original purpose.”
Seeing the doubtful looks in everyone’s eyes, Gu Hanfeng felt exasperated and quickly changed the subject.
Besides, he had heard Wang Wende’s threats and foul language through the bug and phone calls.
Gu Hanfeng suddenly felt his fists itching—he wanted to beat up Wang Wende. After all, these days, he hadn’t even scolded Qiu Yunzheng much.
What was wrong with this scumbag Wang Wende?
“Yes!”
Upon hearing the serious matter, Lin Han Nuo and the others straightened their expressions and quickly entered Qiu Yunzheng’s private room.
When they barged into the room, they found that the pitiful, bullied image they had of Qiu Yunzheng had vanished. Instead, it was Liu Zelan who was frightened, her face pale with fear.
On the other side, Wang Xuecha was so shocked that her usual cold expression faltered, her mouth slightly agape.
As for Meng Fei, she was huddled in her seat, not daring to move an inch, and even trembling slightly as she stared at Qiu Yunzheng.
As for Wang Wende, he was currently under Qiu Yunzheng’s foot.
Yes, Wang Wende had been beaten up by Qiu Yunzheng, and he hadn’t been able to fight back at all.
Just moments ago, Wang Wende had been spewing vulgarities. Before anyone else could react, Qiu Yunzheng, who had been sitting on a chair, moved with lightning speed and kicked him to the ground.
The direction of his fall perfectly avoided all the decorations and tableware in the room, and then Qiu Yunzheng stepped on him.
“…”
Gu Hanfeng, Lin Han Nuo, and the others were speechless at the sight. They suddenly realized that Qiu Yunzheng didn’t seem to need their rescue at all. If anything, Wang Wende was the one who needed saving more.
After all, Wang Wende was currently clutching his crotch, wailing in pain. But since Qiu Yunzheng was stepping on him, he couldn’t even roll around and could only cry for help.
This seemed a bit personal…
(⊙o⊙)…
For some reason, seeing this scene, all the male comrades except Gu Hanfeng couldn’t help but feel a slight chill in their nether regions.
As for Gu Hanfeng’s feelings? Well, it was rather peculiar—he actually thought Qiu Yunzheng had done an excellent job, truly living up to the promising student he had taught.
Yes, indeed—when hitting someone, especially a male villain, aim for the crotch first. This method was personally taught by Gu Hanfeng.
Because he believed that girls wouldn’t have much strength, they would definitely need to use ultimate moves. Whatever method could help save oneself was a good method.
When it comes to life-saving techniques, how could you care about whether it’s elegant or not? If something happens, nothing will be elegant anymore.
“Alright, stop now. If you keep hitting him, you’ll cross the line into excessive self-defense.”
Gu Hanfeng was quite satisfied watching this scene. He waited until Qiu Yunzheng’s face was flushed red and she could barely stand steadily, yet still wore a pleased expression, before speaking up to stop her.
Well, the originally happy Qiu Yunzheng instantly froze. She thought she heard Gu Hanfeng’s voice – that Dean’s voice. She slowly and painfully turned her head.
Heh, it really was him. She saw Gu Hanfeng’s handsome face completely expressionless, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, just watching her.
Qiu Yunzheng didn’t know if it was her blurry vision or the effect of alcohol, but she actually thought she saw a flicker of satisfaction in her terrifying Instructor’s eyes.
Impossible, impossible. Qiu Yunzheng quickly dismissed this strange thought.
“Ah, hahaha, what a coincidence, Instructor Gu. What are you doing here? Hahaha, have you eaten yet?”
Qiu Yunzheng laughed awkwardly, quickly withdrawing her foot from stepping on the person, standing straight as if she were an elementary school student who had spotted their homeroom teacher.
Everyone present: ￣□￣｜｜ Seriously, maybe you should listen to what you’re saying first.
As soon as Qiu Yunzheng finished speaking, she wanted to slap herself. What kind of nonsense was she saying?
Gu Hanfeng felt unusually flustered inside. He was somewhat speechless, his beautiful star-like eyes now resembling dead fish eyes more than anything. He just looked at Qiu Yunzheng as if asking, “What kind of nonsense are you talking?”
“Come here, I’ll take you back. Look at what state you’re in now.”
After all, Gu Hanfeng was a man of strong will. He forcibly suppressed the complex emotions surging within him.
He called over Qiu Yunzheng, who was currently swaying unsteadily, her face growing increasingly flushed, her bright, clear almond-shaped eyes now misty with moisture.
Gu Hanfeng had clearly noticed that something was off with Qiu Yunzheng – she seemed drunk. He also glanced at the unfinished meal on the table and detected the faint but distinct smell of alcohol.
Qiu Yunzheng didn’t dare refuse Gu Hanfeng’s command either, so she could only shuffle over slowly step by step. Qiu Yunzheng was completely intoxicated – she thought she was walking steadily.
But to outsiders, she was wobbling unsteadily, looking like she might fall at any moment.
This made the few people watching feel quite nervous. Just as Wang Xuecha and Lin Han Nuo were about to step forward to support her,
Gu Hanfeng walked over and directly lifted her onto his shoulder. Well, because of their significant height difference, Gu Hanfeng’s carrying posture didn’t look like he was carrying an adult, but more like he was carrying a disobedient child.
And his demeanor was extremely relaxed, as if he were just carrying a sandbag. Uh.
The other three women present had originally been stunned by Gu Hanfeng’s handsome appearance, but now they instantly came back to reality. Heh, indeed, no matter how good-looking a straight man is, he’s still just a straight man.
After being picked up by Gu Hanfeng, Qiu Yunzheng stopped struggling – she didn’t have the strength to struggle anymore.
Although she had been quite fierce when fighting earlier, now that the alcohol was taking full effect, her whole body felt heavy and drowsy, wanting only to sleep.
Fortunately, if the others hadn’t arrived in time, she would have fallen asleep anyway due to her drunken state.
Perfect. Just like that, Qiu Yunzheng fell asleep.
Just as Gu Hanfeng was about to scold Qiu Yunzheng, he discovered that she had actually fallen asleep, even emitting soft snores from her mouth.
The others: …Uh
Gu Hanfeng: …
Indeed, the training wasn’t rigorous enough. Next time—absolutely, without fail—the intensity of training must be increased.
