Chapter 16: Putting the blame on others

Qin Xutao was silent for a moment, his eyes fell on Su Su, and he said, "No, it's the commander who disagrees. He said he needs to observe for a while."

Qin Xutao did not explain the reason for the inspection.

But Su Su knew that it must be because of her identity as a capitalist lady!

After all, Qin Xutao comes from an old revolutionary family, and he is also very outstanding, so promotion is just around the corner.

The leader is a talent-loving person and of course doesn't want her to delay Qin Xutao.

Su Su was like a deflated ball, and said helplessly, "Did the chief say how long the probation period would be?"

Qin Xutao shook his head.

Seeing that Su Su was a little unhappy, he continued, "Don't you want me to teach you how to skate? Let's go to the skating rink now. There are fewer people."

Su Su was indeed attracted by the attention. She immediately put on her skates and the protective gear made by Sister Xiu'e for her, and put on a thick cotton coat.

Following Qin Xutao, we arrived at a lake where the army's ice skating competition was also held.

The surface of the lake was frozen thickly.

After confirming that there was no danger, Qin Xutao said to Su Su, "Put on your skates. Don't be afraid. I'll be right behind you."

Su Su nodded and tentatively stepped onto the ice.

fine!

She took two tentative steps forward and looked at Qin Xutao behind her in surprise: "I think I can skate now!"

Then she plucked up her courage and tried to slide forward a distance.

Qin Xutao followed closely behind her.

Su Su gradually regained the feeling of skating when she was a child. She became more and more courageous and even turned around and shouted to Qin Xutao behind her:

"Come and chase me!"

Suddenly, the skate got stuck on a protruding piece of ice.

Su Su's body fell forward unexpectedly. She closed her eyes in fear, and her only thought was to avoid hitting her face.

The pain she imagined did not come, and she fell into a warm embrace.

It’s Qin Xutao!

His strong arms held her tightly.

Su Su then cautiously opened her eyes, exhaled in fear, and said with lingering fear:

"Thank goodness I have you!"

"Be careful." He let go of Su Su's hand only after she stood firm again, but he still followed her closely, his eyes following her.

Su Su circled around the lake a few more times, then stopped to touch her red, frozen cheeks.

If you catch a cold, you won't have to try it.

Let’s go back first.

So the two of them finished their evening skating practice and walked towards the dormitory together.

The stars are twinkling at night and the surroundings are quiet, so quiet that it seems that you can only hear the heartbeats of people around you.

After returning to the dormitory, Qin Xutao said to Su Su: "Go take a hot bath first, don't catch a cold."

Su Su nodded.

Her nose was already feeling a little stuffy and she really needed a hot bath.

After picking up the clothes, he walked into the bathroom.

Listening to the sound of water flowing inside, Qin Xutao suddenly felt a little thirsty.

He frowned, picked up the water glass on the table and took several big gulps of water.

Su Su was in the bathroom, hot water splashed on her body, all the pores in her body opened up, and she felt very comfortable.

After taking a shower, she put on her clothes, walked out of the bathroom, and saw Qin Xutao still sitting on the sofa.

"You should take a shower quickly too!"

Qin Xutao nodded.

When he finished taking a shower, Su Su was already lying on the bed. She suddenly couldn't sleep, so she turned to the man beside her and said:

"Do you think I can win the skating competition tomorrow?"

After waiting for a long time, Qin Xutao's deep voice rang in his ears: "Participation is important, safety first."

Su Su pouted unhappily, "That won't do. They've already challenged me, I can't admit defeat. But, after all, it's you who caused the debt."

Qin Xutao was silent for a moment, then added: "I believe you."

Su Sujiao snorted, "Don't worry!"

The next day, Su Su packed up early.

As soon as I entered the skating spot, I attracted a lot of attention.

"Yingqiu, this is Captain Qin's fiancée. She's so pretty!"

Fang Yingqiu curled her lips in disdain, "I think it's just so-so."

"Just wait and see, today I will make her look bad in public."

The girl next to them exchanged a glance and advised, "Yingqiu, stop it and don't make it too awkward."

Fang Yingqiu couldn't concentrate at all at this moment.

All she could think about was how to leave Su Su behind, so that everyone's attention would be focused on her.

Brother Qin will also look at her.

Fang Yingqiu held her head high, put on her skates, and saw Su Su next to her still doing some warm-up exercises.

She curled her lips.

Humph, what a pretense!

Accompanied by a gunshot, several people rushed out together. Fang Yingqiu stretched her head forward and rushed forward, but she saw Su Su following her out of the corner of her eye.

She was so anxious that she immediately sped up.

Suddenly, the ice ahead collapsed.

Fang Yingqiu and Su Su had no time to stop and fell into the lake together.

Su Su had learned to swim when she was a child, so she was not afraid. When she was about to swim upstream, she suddenly saw Fang Yingqiu struggling desperately.

Obviously, she can't swim!

Su Su frowned and swam towards Fang Yingqiu, wanting to take her up.

After all, it is a human life, we cannot just stand by and watch it die.

But Fang Yingqiu was too scared and held on to Su Su tightly, trying to use her body to float to the surface.

Finally climbed onto the ice.

People gathered around immediately.

Qin Xutao's face was gloomy, and he immediately asked, "Where's Su Su?"

Fang Yingqiu didn't dare to say that she stepped on her to get up, and cried, "Su Su wanted to pull me down, she wanted to hurt me!"

There was an uproar all around.

The lake water was icy cold, and Su Su felt her strength gradually fade away, watching herself getting farther and farther away from the water.

Suddenly, a figure swam towards him.

It’s Qin Xutao!

His eyes were deep, like a whirlpool. He kissed Su Su with his thin lips and passed the air in his mouth to her.

Then he waved his arm and brought Su Su to the surface of the water.

He placed his hands on her chest, pressing several times.

Su Su spat out a mouthful of water and regained consciousness.

The first thing she did when she regained consciousness was to stand up and walk to Fang Yingqiu who was crying.

"You said I wanted to harm you?"

Fang Yingqiu was unsure, but the looks from the people around her forced her to bite the bullet and say, "That's right, if you hadn't been pulling me, I would have swum up long ago!"

Su Su sneered and said nothing. She grabbed Fang Yingqiu and was about to jump down the ice cave: "Words are not enough. Let's try again!"

Fang Yingqiu turned pale in an instant and refused to move an inch.

When the people around saw this scene, they immediately knew that Fang Yingqiu was lying.

But this joke is too big.

"I will definitely get to the bottom of what happened today!" Qin Xutai picked up Su Su and walked towards the dormitory.
