After Marking Commander O, I was Forced to a Flash Marriage

Chapter 14

Halfway through the class, Bai Yuxi had remained silent.

Ren Qingqiu expected her to say something.

However, if it were anyone else sitting next to Bai Yuxi, they would likely have succumbed to the pressure and followed her by now.

Ren Qingqiu turned her head to admire Bai Yuxi’s jawline, only to find Bai Yuxi half-closing her eyes while looking at her.

—How long has she been staring?

When Ren Qingqiu met her gaze, her heart stirred, and she immediately propped up her chin and smiled at Bai Yuxi. “What are you looking at?”

Ren Qingqiu’s sudden question made Bai Yuxi frown.

But just then, the class bell rang, and Ren Qingqiu didn’t pursue the question further.

Bai Yuxi glanced at her. “Your class should be over now, right?”

“I still need to have lunch,” Ren Qingqiu replied as she patted her stomach.

Bai Yuxi’s expression turned serious. “You can eat at any time.”

“Is lunch off-limits now?” Ren Qingqiu smiled. “Hey, you’re in such a hurry. What exactly do you want to do with me?”

Her tone sounded far from serious, causing Bai Yuxi to take a sharp breath.

Bai Yuxi’s hand rested on the knife at her waist. “I’m here for business.”

While her expression seemed calm, Ren Qingqiu felt it was best not to provoke her further. She dropped her smile. “Don’t rush. I never said you were here for personal matters.”

Noticing Qiu Xinyu looking back and forth between them, Ren Qingqiu slowly stood up. “Where are we going? Let’s go.”

“Aren’t you having lunch?” Bai Yuxi frowned.

Ren Qingqiu picked up her books and tucked them under her arm. “I can’t keep you waiting all the time, can I? Your time is so precious, and it wouldn’t be good to scare other students.”

Bai Yuxi glanced at Qiu Xinyu and chose not to waste more words with Ren Qingqiu. “Let’s go.”

“You all go ahead and eat,” Ren Qingqiu said as she waved goodbye to Qiu Xinyu and Xie Feiyu before following Bai Yuxi out.

As they walked, neither of them spoke.

Ren Qingqiu had her hands in her pockets, gazing up at the maple leaves on the campus.

Bai Yuxi stole a glance at her. “Last time…”

Ren Qingqiu caught a glimpse of Bai Yuxi from the corner of her eye.

“Last time, at the shooting range, you mentioned that for the long-range position, we should choose a Beta with the surname Xiao. Do you know that student?”

Ren Qingqiu thought back to what she had said last time. She replied with her hands still in her pants pockets, “No, I don’t know that person.”

“Really?” Bai Yuxi sounded incredulous.

Ren Qingqiu smiled. “I watched the competition organized by the third and fourth grades last Wednesday.”

—You just watched one match?

Bai Yuxi frowned.

Can one’s character really be assessed just like that?

How discerning and experienced do you have to be to judge someone so accurately?

Bai Yuxi looked into Ren Qingqiu’s eyes. “Then why did you speak highly of that student that day?”
