Chapter 31. The beauty is coming.

"I heroically rescued a damsel in distress and got into a bit of trouble, but I've already explained everything at the police station and now they've let me go back," An Xin succinctly described her recent trip.

Gao Qilan looked at An Xin with concern and said, "Why did you have to be such a good Samaritan? If you hadn't intervened, you wouldn't have gotten into this kind of trouble now!"

Although Gao Qilan said this, she knew that given An Xin's character, if she encountered an injustice, she would not stand by idly. It was precisely because of this that she had become friends with An Xin.

"The person on the other side is an old acquaintance, Cheng Xiao."

An Xin's tone was flat, showing no emotion, except when she mentioned the name, which was faintly accompanied by a gritted-teeth tone.

"Him? I thought after all his actions were exposed online, he would lay low for a while."

The public opinion online had already dug up all of Cheng Xiao's deeds!

If Cheng Xiao had any sense of shame, he should lay low for a while to avoid causing further controversy and public disdain.

But it seems things are not as expected.

"Cheng Xiao's tactics are despicable; I'm afraid mentioning them might dirty your ears."

An Xin smiled lightly and patted Gao Qilan's shoulder comfortingly.

"Don't worry, it's just a minor issue. They want to deal with me? Dream on!"

After dealing with Cheng Xiao, An Xin didn't focus her attention on them anymore. This heroic act seemed more like a coincidence.

"How could I not worry about you? That's the police station we're talking about! I've never had anything to do with the police in my entire life!"

In Gao Qilan's family, despite their preference for sons over daughters, they were only brave enough to bully their own family members and dared not confront outsiders.

The education Gao Qilan received was that anyone who went to the police station was no good.

Even those who went to report crimes were considered problematic!

There's a saying: flies don't bother uncracked eggs. Those who reported crimes in the past must have had issues themselves.

Gao Qilan had been taught this way, so when she learned about An Xin's situation, she panicked as if the sky was falling.

"Now that you've left your original family, you don't need to be bound by those old thoughts. If you keep dwelling on the past, you might never wake up from that nightmare!"

An Xin frowned slightly. According to her understanding, in her previous life, besides having an unhappy marriage, Gao Qilan's parents dragged her into an endless hell!

In their eyes, there was no kinship, only endless greed. To them, Gao Qilan was merely walking money.

"But that's my family..."

Gao Qilan frowned slightly, disagreeing with An Xin.

Her family, though not as warm as others, was ultimately something she cherished deeply.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these unhappy topics anymore. We still have military training later; let's head over now."

As An Xin and Gao Qilan chatted, time flew by, and even the time she had left to return to her dormitory and sleep was gone.

Gao Qilan obediently nodded and followed An Xin to the military training area.

After waiting for a while, the main group for military training finally arrived late.

Li Tao and two others had heavy dark circles under their eyes, clearly not having slept well last night.

"Later, I'll talk to the instructor and say An Xin has something to deal with and can't participate in the training."

Li Tao's voice came from afar.

"Should we also inform the counselor? Will the counselor ask about the reason?"

Ye An asked with concern.

"Probably not, I don't think the counselor is someone who likes to pry into others' affairs."

"That's because it doesn't involve his own class. If we go to ask for leave for An Xin, he will definitely ask questions!"

After all, without a reason, skipping military training outright would be hard to justify to the counselor.

"Then wouldn't that expose what happened last night?"

The matter hasn't been concluded at the police station yet; they didn't want it to spread within the school first.

How the rumors would escalate was beyond anyone's prediction.

"Let's stop talking for now; I think I see An Xin!"

Just as they were arguing, Li Tao suddenly spoke up, staring ahead in disbelief.

An Xin was standing there, even smiling and waving at them.

"When did you get back? You didn't call us!"

Li Tao rushed over and punched An Xin in the chest.

They had hardly slept or eaten last night, imagining all possible scenarios for An Xin.

Who would have thought that a simple meal outside could lead to encountering some scoundrels!

Last night, Li Tao and the others made countless excuses for An Xin's actions but dismissed them all. They couldn't believe An Xin had returned so quickly.

"I wasn't the main culprit, so they sent me back early. I haven't slept all night; I feel like I could pass out standing."

Li Tao rolled his eyes silently: "It's fine; trust your strength to get through it. Who told you to play the hero and save the beauty!"

"Let's go; military training has started!"

With the instructor's whistle, the training officially began.

Although An Xin said she couldn't hold on and seemed ready to fall asleep standing, her body was surprisingly honest. While other students complained bitterly, An Xin showed no signs of staying up all night; her energy was much better than Li Tao and the others.

During the lunch break...

A figure that had been waiting for a long time called out to An Xin.

"An Xin!"

This shout instantly drew everyone's attention to the beautiful girl.

It was He Chuli!

At the restaurant, An Xin hadn't looked closely at her, but now, under the sunlight, her golden hair shone uniquely, and her handsome face wore a faint smile. Wearing a skirt, her long legs were visible, and she held a handbag, waving at An Xin from a distance.

"Wow, another beauty coming to find An Xin!"

"This seems to be the third one, right? How does An Xin have such good luck with women? It's as if all the beauties are gathered around him."

"She's incredibly beautiful!"

The students nearby couldn't help but start discussing.

He Chuli's appearance was definitely impactful in the university setting.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have driven Cheng Xiao to commit such a reckless act as drugging her.
