Qin Qiao VS Zhan Qing
Editor: Atlas Studios
A warm touch came from her back. Was someone pushing her?
Qin Qiao looked back and saw a handsome face with a tanned complexion. He looked very sunny and healthy.
"Hi…" The man grinned at Qin Qiao, showing his white teeth.
"Hi, thank you!" Qin Qiao said and was close to being breathless.
She was really grateful to the handsome man who offered her a helping hand. She was really afraid that she would be left alone if she collapsed.
"My name is Shi Lei. What's yours?" Shi Lei pushed Qin Qiao with one hand and ran beside her.
"My name is… Qin Qiao…"
Qin Qiao felt much better with someone pushing her and so she smiled at Shi Lei.
His name was interesting, Shi Lei, four stones… [1. The Chinese character for 'Shi' is stone and the character for 'Lei' is made up of three stone characters.]
"You're here to experience life, too?" Shi Lei came closer to Qin Qiao and asked in a low voice.
When Shi Lei smiled, two canine teeth protruded out and it looked adorable. Qin Qiao also had canine teeth, but they were not as sharp as Shi Lei's.
"Mm, I guess so…" Qin Qiao had to tug her pants up from time to time. She was afraid that it would fall off at any moment and that would be embarrassing.
"Your overall physical fit is bad. The cold Hades is not here today, otherwise, he would kick you if he sees you running like this."
The cold Hades Shi Lei was talking about was Zhan Qing.
Qin Qiao smiled awkwardly. "I can't run, my body is weak and I have insufficient nutrition…"
Qin Qiao did not lie. She did not have enough nutrition since she was a child and often did not have enough to eat and wear. It was really fortunate that she could live.
"You're so pitiful. You can follow Brother Shi in the future!"
Shi Lei patted Qin Qiao's shoulder and almost led her to falling down.
"Thank you, Brother Shi!"
If those under Qin Qiao knew that she asked to be taken under the wing of others, she was afraid that they would die of crying.
"Ah…" As soon as Qin Qiao's words fell, someone had kicked her hard in the leg.
Qin Qiao sprawled on the ground to the point that she even had to grip on her waist because it was too painful.
"H—hello, Boss!" Shi Lei wanted to reach out his hand to pull Qin Qiao up, but Zhang Qing's cold eyes stopped him.
Shi Lei stuttered and it could be seen that he was afraid of Zhan Qing.
Qin Qiao felt aggrieved being kicked like this. Wasn't she running…?
Chi Shuai, who was behind Zhan Qing, threw her some gestures to which the clever Qin Qiao immediately understood. All along, she was kicked because Shi Lei was pushing her.
"Shi Lei, run ten kilometers and no breakfast!"
"Yes, Boss!"
At the command of Zhan Qing, Shi Lei sped off.
Before he left, he shot Qin Qiao with an apologetic look who in return also gave him the same look.
"Get up!" After Shi Lei ran away, Zhan Qing kicked Qin Qiao's calf again.
She shivered in pain. Why did he love kicking people so much?
"Ninth…" Qin Qiao endured the pain and stood. He wanted to call him 'Ninth Uncle', but was afraid that others would hear.
She then lowered her head and kept her mouth shut.
Old Madam Zhan told Qin Qiao that she should not let other people know how she was related to Zhan Qing, so as to not embarrass him.
Zhan Qing looked at Qin Qiao's red face which did not look masculine at all.
He, unfortunately, needed someone to push him for less than a kilometer and didn't have the physical strength boys should have.
He glanced at his wristwatch—this watch was a special one, one which does not merely just tell the time…
He still had a meeting later…
"Go home!" Zhan Qing turned and left after saying that.
Qin Qiao was stunned for a few seconds and then she felt happy. She did not need to run anymore?
