At first, everyone just covered their mouths and chuckled, their shoulders shaking. But later, many of the male soldiers were laughing so hard they were bent over, pounding their thighs, and tears were almost streaming down their faces.
Especially Zhang Kui, who had just been dealt with by Qin Ye yesterday, although he didn't dare to raise his voice, his face was trembling with laughter, and he felt incredibly relieved. "You little pretty boy instructor, you got to teach me a lesson? Now look what's happened, some clueless woman is trying to mess with me, let's see how you get out of this!"
Gao Kai was stunned when he saw Qiao Lin's miserable state. Then, his face showed undisguised contempt and disgust.
"Shameless." He squeezed out the three words through gritted teeth.
He'd disliked this Miss Qiao for a long time. She's always putting on airs, thinking she's someone special. This is the military base, not her private backyard!
On the other side of the group, Bai Wei's lips curled into a cold smile, but she quickly concealed it, replacing it with an expression of surprise mixed with worry.
"Fool!" she thought to herself with a cold laugh.
Dressed up and throwing herself at him? Such low-class tactics, trying to seduce a man like Instructor Qin? It's utterly humiliating!
That man's eyes were like a wolf's, like an eagle's; he didn't look at people's outward appearance, but at what was in their bones!
In his eyes, Qiao Lin, a good-for-nothing with nothing but her family background, is probably not even worth mentioning.
But it's all for the best. This idiot brought this upon himself, which saves her a lot of trouble.
Su Tang clearly saw Qin Ye's small, light step, which was full of contempt.
She saw how disgusted Qin Ye looked when Qiao Lin rushed over. He was probably thinking, "Where did this fly come from? It's so blind."
Su Tang lowered her head, using the brim of her military cap to cover the corners of her mouth that couldn't help but turn up, as well as her smiling eyes.
Qiao Lin, who was the focus of everyone's attention, was lying on the ground, feeling like all the bones in her body were broken.
My nasal cavity was filled with the fishy smell of earth and a strong stench of swill—it must have been from that damned bucket of swill that spilled yesterday. My forehead, chin, and knees burned as if they had been rubbed raw by sandpaper.
But the physical pain was nothing compared to the overwhelming humiliation in my heart!
She heard it!
She heard those harsh, undisguised laughs that pierced her heart like knives!
Her imagined hero rescuing her, romantic encounter, and being the center of attention... how did it turn out like this?!
Why didn't you help me up?
Why didn't he help me up?!
Qiao Lin's mind was in chaos, and tears of humiliation welled up instantly, mixing with the dust and grit on her face and blurring into a mess.
No, I can't cry! I'll look even uglier if I cry!
She fought back tears and struggled to prop herself up on her arms. She felt her face was definitely cut, her lips were bruised, and a metallic taste filled her mouth.
She looked up, and her carefully made-up face was now a mess. There was a large patch of ash on her left cheek, and tiny beads of blood were seeping from her forehead. Her cherry-like lips, which she had made with red paper, were also smudged, half red and half black, making her look like a clown in a theatrical performance.
She looked at the man with hope, hoping to see even the slightest concern, apology, or surprise on his face.
However, no.
Qin Ye simply lowered his eyes and gave her a cold glance, as if she were trash on the street.
There was no anger, no mockery, not even curiosity in those eyes.
There was only a pure, cold indifference, as if it could freeze the soul.
It was as if she wasn't a living, breathing person who had fallen in front of him, but merely an obstructive rock, a disgusting lump of mud, not worth a second glance.
That look was a million times more humiliating than a slap in the face or any vicious curse!
