Chapter 198: The 5th Platoon is Just Around the Corner!

The latest chapter of "《" has been updated, come and catch up!

Around noon, Hua Qing finally recovered.

She lay in bed, her thoughts not yet fully cleared, her mind filled with a jumbled mess of fragmented images.

A blurry reflection in the mirror.

The barre has a cool, icy feel.

A dance studio is supposed to be a place for practicing dance!

……

Hua Qing rolled over and buried her face in the pillow, filled with shame and indignation.

For the entire morning, Ding Heng truly kept his word, allowing her to completely empty her mind!

There were a few moments when Hua Qing probably couldn't even remember who she was or where she was.

After an unknown amount of time, Hua Qing finally sat up and muttered another curse.

"You filthy scum, you pervert!"

She rolled out of bed, her legs still weak.

I held onto the headboard for a while, waiting for the soreness to subside before staggering towards the bathroom.

The sound of rushing water washed away the sticky sweat.

After taking a shower, Hua Qing changed into a clean cotton nightgown and walked out of the bedroom.

"Ding Heng?"

She called out softly, but no one answered.

They went out?

Hua Qing didn't dwell on it and went back to the dance studio.

The training clothes and white tights were still hanging on the barre, badly damaged, and the white tights still had traces of blood.

Hua Qing took it out and crumpled it into a ball. She was about to put it directly into the trash can, but she stopped halfway through reaching out.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she turned around and went back to the bedroom. She took out a clean paper bag from the closet, carefully folded the tattered clothes, and put them back in.

As soon as the cabinet door was closed, Black Bean suddenly darted out from some corner, raised its head, and meowed.

Hua Qing reached out and rubbed Hei Dou's chin, then suddenly spoke softly.

"Black beans."

Meow~

"Dad and Mom have already..."

Meow~

Black Bean meowed again and rolled over, revealing its soft belly.

Hua Qing gently scratched the belly of the black bean with her fingers, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

She had expected this day to come.

But I never expected it to come so suddenly and so intensely.

From beginning to end, she had no autonomy whatsoever.

The man could do whatever he wanted, and she could only grit her teeth and endure it. She couldn't even finish her pleas before being swallowed up by a new wave.

Ding Heng went too far, so far that Hua Qing felt she should be angry.

But she didn't...

Instead, a huge weight was finally lifted from my heart. I couldn't tell if it was relief, resignation, or both.

Now, like Wenjing and Zhao Yanxi, she completely belongs to Ding Heng.

Although she didn't understand why she felt relieved about this, at least she was no longer bothered by her failure in the selection.

Otherwise, the man would probably have to "empty her mind" again.

……

At the entrance of Lin Man's apartment, Ding Heng raised his hand and rang the doorbell.

"Ding-dong—Ding-dong—"

Hurried footsteps came from behind the door.

The door opened, revealing Lin Man in a loose-fitting off-shoulder short-sleeved top and light gray loungewear shorts, her face bare, exuding a languid and alluring charm.

"Boss!"

Upon seeing Ding Heng, Lin Man was overjoyed and threw herself into his arms.

"Why are you here? You didn't even tell me beforehand!"

"What, you're not welcome?"

"Welcome, welcome! Of course you're welcome!"

Lin Man stepped out of Ding Heng's arms and turned to walk into the house.

Ding Heng followed him inside, closing the door behind him.

In the entryway, Lin Man knelt down, took out a pair of cotton slippers, unpacked them, and neatly placed them at Ding Heng's feet.

Then he tilted his head back, placed his hands clasped on his knees, and remained as respectful as ever.

Ding Heng looked down and examined him.

After a week apart, Lin Man was still the same as before.

Obedient and well-behaved, without a single fault.

Get up.

Ding Heng changed into slippers and walked towards the living room.

Lin Man got up and followed Ding Heng. After the man sat down, she knelt down obediently once again.

Ding Heng asked with concern, "Does your knee hurt?"

"It's fine."

Lin Man spoke in a charming tone, casually picking up a cushion and placing it under her knees, then gave Ding Heng a sweet smile: "Thank you for your kindness, boss."

Ding Heng didn't try to persuade him any further.

Let Lin Man kneel if she wants to; maybe she'll even enjoy it.

"What have you been up to these past few days?"

"Busy making travel arrangements."

Lin Man counted on her fingers: "Airfare, hotels, vehicles, itinerary... a whole bunch of bits and pieces, it was so hard to finally get a clue. Boss, you have no idea how troublesome it is to book hotels in Switzerland. Just communicating with them took me several days..."

Ding Heng listened quietly to Lin Man's rambling, and only spoke after she finished speaking.

"I have something to tell you."

"Boss, you say it."

"I'd like to add another person, is that possible?"

Lin Man blinked.

Who is it?

"Huaqing."

"Sister Qing?"

Lin Man's tone was ambiguous: "So you've been in the capital these past two days, boss? No wonder I haven't seen you..."

Ding Heng asked worriedly, "Is it still possible to get Hua Qing a visa?"

"Boss, don't you have a company in Hong Kong? You should be able to expedite the work visa process there; it should only take three or four days."

"You make the arrangements."

"Okay!"

Lin Man nodded obediently, took out her phone from under the coffee table, and started tapping the screen.

Ding Heng leaned back on the sofa, watching her busy herself.

A few minutes later, Lin Man put down her phone and looked up again.

"Boss, is there anything else? If not...?"

She moved forward and lay down on Ding Heng's lap, her foxy eyes sparkling.

"I've been ignored by my boss for half a month now~"

Ding Heng had just teleported back from the capital and was still in a semi-wise state. He reached out and gently patted Lin Man's face.

"What's the rush? Come to the hotel tonight."

Lin Man pouted and began to think seriously.

"I need to think carefully about what to wear to please my boss..."

Ding Heng ignored her and stood up.

"I'm leaving now."

"Take care, boss~"

Lin Man knelt on the ground, her smile sickeningly sweet.

Ding Heng walked out of the apartment and got into his car.

My phone vibrated; it was a message from Lin Man.

[Lin Hu Leads the Way]: [Image]

[Lin Hu Leads the Way]: Boss, does this look good?

Ding Heng didn't reply, and his phone vibrated again.

[Lin Hu Leads the Way]: [Image]

[Lin Hu Leads the Way]: [Image]

[Lin Hu Leads the Way]: [Image]

……

Lin Man persisted, sending Ding Heng more than ten pictures for him to choose from.

[Ding Heng]: The seventh set.

[Lin Hu leads the way]: Yes, boss!

【Lin Hu Leads the Way】：[)

After saying goodbye to Lin Man, Ding Heng went to the villa.

After parking the car in the garage, Ding Heng went upstairs and opened the door.

Sister Jiang was already waiting at the door: "Mr. Ding, you're back."

Ding Heng changed into slippers and asked, "Where's Baima?"

"Swimming."

"good……"

Ding Heng went to the backyard, pushed open the glass door, and was hit by a wave of heat.

The villa's swimming pool is not large, but it is private, surrounded by greenery on three sides, with only one side facing the garden.

Baima was splashing around in the pool.

She wore a pink and white one-piece swimsuit, her hair was tied in a bun, and her face looked even whiter.

She didn't swim very fast, but her movements were much more precise than a month ago, and her arms and legs were coordinated quite well.

Ding Heng sat down on a deck chair by the pool. Crossing your legs.

Baima swam to the edge of the pool, held onto the edge, looked up at him, and was slightly out of breath.

"Brother! When did you arrive?"

"Just arrived."

As Baima climbed out of the water, Ding Heng took the opportunity to give her a thorough once-over.

Pema has changed quite a bit in just over twenty days.

I used to have no proper posture when sitting or standing; I would just slump down wherever I wanted as if I had no bones.

Now my back is straight, my shoulders are open, my neck is long, and I look much more neat and tidy.

Her complexion is also better than before.

I used to stay up all night, and my face would turn pale, with dark circles under my eyes. Now my skin is fair and rosy, and I have a healthy glow all over.

"How was it? Did you get a good lesson in etiquette?"

Pema puffed out her chest proudly: "The teachers all praised me for my rapid progress!"

Ding Heng joked, "Floating again?"

"No, I didn't."

Bai Ma pouted, sat cross-legged, put her hands behind her back, and looked up at the sky.

"Brother, I have something to tell you."

"explain."

"I'm only missing the third stage of my driver's license test. Click to begin the wondrous journey of 'Booking a Cosplayer Photoshoot: Why Did the System Take It Seriously?'"

"So fast?"

"Of course!"

Baima said smugly, "I'm a natural-born driver. You can get in my car sometime and experience it for yourself. I guarantee you'll be in heaven."

Ding Heng didn't respond.

Bai Ma leaned closer again and gently shook Ding Heng's sleeve.

"Brother~"

"what?"

Will you provide me with a car?

The little girl tilted her head back, like a little pet begging for food.

"Your mom won't let you get a match?"

"It means more when a brother buys a car for his sister!"

"Yeah?"

Ding Heng chuckled and bluntly said, "I bet it's because your mother won't allow you to go to university, drive luxury cars, and show off in public, that's why she's targeting me?"

"Brother~"

After being exposed, Baima simply stuck to it.

"It's only natural for an older brother to buy a car for his younger sister! And I don't need anything too fancy, just a few hundred thousand yuan, something low-key, nothing too flashy."

Ding Heng reached out and flicked Bai Ma's forehead lightly.

"Several hundred thousand and you call that low-key? Your mother's right, it's just university, why drive a luxury car?"

"Well……"

Baima was quite aggrieved: "How could my sister-in-law and the others drive it!"

"You're different from them."

"How are they different?"

"Hmm...it's different anyway."

Ding Heng couldn't answer for a moment, so he changed the subject.

"We'll talk about it when you get back from your trip and school starts."

"Brother, you've agreed?"

I said we'd talk about it when I got back from my trip.

"That means you agree!"

Baima cheered, wrapped her arms around Ding Heng's neck, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

Ding Heng was a little breathless from being choked by her, so he reached out and patted her back.

"Alright, alright, let go."

Pema chuckled as she let go of his hand and sat back down, swinging her short legs even more enthusiastically, her pink toes twitching back and forth.

"It's so good to have a brother!"

As we left the villa, it was getting dark.

Ding Heng drove to the Chujiang Hotel.

The elevator stopped on the 27th floor, and Ding Heng swiped his card and pushed the door open.

The living room was lit with warm yellow lights. Zhao Yanxi and Wen Jing were nestled on the sofa, each holding a cup of milk tea, watching a variety show.

Hearing the door open, the two turned around at the same time.

Zhao Yanxi was the first to react and rushed over in three steps.

"Brother Ding Heng!"

The girl's voice was crisp and clear: "Did you miss me?"

"good."

Ding Heng spoke in a flat tone.

Zhao Yanxi pouted and crossed her arms: "What do you mean 'okay'? I think about you every day, and you call that 'okay'?"

Unlike Zhao Yanxi, Wenjing was not excited. She obediently came to Ding Heng and looked up at him.

"You're back?"

"Um."

Ding Heng gently pinched Wenjing's cheek; the feel was as familiar as ever.

"eccentric."

Zhao Yanxi gave a sour hum.

Ding Heng released Wen Jing, turned to face Zhao Yanxi, and reached out to rub her cheek.

"Satisfied?"

"Hmph~"

Zhao Yanxi gently rubbed against Ding Heng's palm, a look of satisfaction on her face.

The three of them returned to the sofa and sat down.

Zhao Yanxi picked up her milk tea again and took a sip.

"Ding Heng, what have you been up to these past few days? You've been so secretive, and you haven't been replying to my messages much."

"work."

"What do you need me for?"

Why are you asking so many questions?

Zhao Yanxi didn't press further, but her gaze lingered on Ding Heng's face, as if trying to determine whether the man was lying.

Ding Heng reached out and pulled the two of them into his arms, one on each side.

"The business is all done, and I'll take you on a nice trip from now on."

"That's more like it."

Zhao Yanxi leaned against Ding Heng's shoulder, her tone softening: "Brother Ding Heng, there's something else."

"explain."

Zhao Yanxi put down her milk tea, sat up straight, and looked serious.

"We're supposed to go to Europe this summer, right? I told my parents the day before yesterday, and they both asked me where I got the money to travel to Switzerland."

Domestic travel is easy to explain, but traveling to Europe is quite expensive, so Zhao Yanxi's parents inevitably became suspicious.

"Although my dad didn't say it explicitly, he was implying in his words that he was asking..."

Zhao Yanxi cleared her throat and imitated Zhao Xingguo's tone perfectly.

"Are you wasting other people's money?", "Where did Ding Heng, a college student, get so much money?", "Ding Heng's family is not well-off, don't be a burden to them," and so on.

Ding Heng couldn't help but chuckle: "Uncle, are you feeling sorry for me?"

"What's he worried about? He's just afraid I'll squander money..."

Zhao Yanxi sighed: "In his eyes, you're still that poor student from a working-class family. A trip to Europe, with round-trip airfare and accommodation, would cost at least tens of thousands. He felt that you shouldn't have to pay for it all by yourself, but he was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he asked me indirectly."

Ding Heng reassured him, "Then I'll accompany you back to Zhuzhou during the summer vacation to explain things to your father."

"Explain what?"

"Explain that your man's money is legitimate, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Oh……"

Zhao Yanxi leaned back on Ding Heng's shoulder, no longer worried.

She had unwavering faith that Ding Heng could handle everything, both now and in the future…

"Knock knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

Ding Heng patted Zhao Yanxi, and the kitten immediately understood, quickly getting up and running to open the door.

"Sister Man?"

"Good evening."

Lin Man stood at the door, carrying a small suitcase, and winked at Zhao Yanxi.

Zhao Yanxi asked in surprise, "Why did you come here?"

"Of course, the boss sent them over!"

"What's in the box?"

"New clothes and new toys, would you like to try them on first?"

"I'm not going to try."

"Then how about..."

The cat and the fox both looked at the sofa.

The little white rabbit blinked in bewilderment, completely unaware of the impending danger.

…………

The next morning.

Outside the glass curtain wall of the airport arrival hall, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Ding Hengheng leaned against a pillar in the arrival hall, scrolling through her phone listlessly.

I was up until 3 a.m. last night, and then got up again at 6 a.m. this morning to pick up the passengers at the airport.

It's all that stupid fox's fault. He said it would be "the last round," but it just kept going on and on, without end.

Even though her voice was hoarse, she still insisted on saying something like, "I have to clear out all the stock before going on a long trip."

Clean and tidy?

Ding Heng gave a wry smile.

With his physique, he has practically no reserves left.

"Ding Heng".

Hua Qing's voice came from ahead.

Wearing a light blue, thin Hanfu dress, with her long hair half-up and her face bare, her eyes and brows were full of fatigue from catching a flight early in the morning.

Ding Heng went up to her and took the suitcase and trolley: "Senior, thank you for your hard work."

Hua Qing didn't respond, but stared intently at him.

"When did you return to Xingcheng?"

"yesterday……"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Hua Qing's tone was resentful.

She couldn't understand why Ding Heng would secretly return to Xingcheng in just half a day.

Could it be that you weren't satisfied with playing duos with her, and now you have to come back and find other women for three-, four-, or five-player matches...?

Ding Heng was speechless.

If he hadn't been entangled by the vixen last night, he could have teleported back to the capital and flown back with Hua Qing today.

Perfect time management was completely ruined.

Hua Qing gave a displeased snort and walked out.

Ding Heng quickly followed, changing the subject: "Senior, what are your plans for the future?"

Hua Qing paused slightly: "I want to go home first."

"Meeting your uncle and aunt?"

"Um."

She turned around, her eyes showing a hint of seriousness: "Give me two days. I'll go back to see my parents and tell them what's been going on lately, so they'll have some idea of ​​what's going on."

"Would you like me to give you a ride?"

"Need not."

Hua Qing shook her head and softened her tone: "I can drive back myself, you go about your business."

Ding Heng did not force him.

He remembered Hua Qing saying that her family was very traditional, so he made sure to be fully prepared before revealing their relationship.

Hua Qing added, her voice even softer than before: "Don't tell Yan hope and Wen Jing that I'm back yet."

Ding Heng raised an eyebrow.

Hua Qing lowered her eyes: "I'll tell them myself."

"What did you say?"

"It's none of your business what I say."

Hua Qing glared at Ding Heng, annoyed.

But the next second, her tone softened instantly.

"Anyway, don't worry... I'll get along well with them."

"good!"

Ding Heng smiled with satisfaction.

Five-player teams are just around the corner!
