Stepping on the demon door, the witch becomes the strongest

Chapter 127 Love Rival? You Don’t Deserve It!

"Yes." Asked directly by Yan Yu, Qiao Ming simply admitted it. He looked at Lin Ning beside him and asked softly:

"Lin Ning, do you already have a boyfriend you like? Or are you already dating Captain Yan?"

Lin Ning hesitated and opened her mouth, not knowing for a moment whether she should lie to him and tell him to give up, or keep silent to avoid hurting him directly, or simply admit that she didn't want to fall in love yet...

Seeing that Sister Lin couldn't say a word for a long time, Yan Yu knew that this woman was completely unreliable. He sighed and said:

"Student Qiao Ming, the army has its own rules. You have the freedom to find someone to date, but she doesn't."

"What do you mean?" Qiao Ming frowned slightly.

This answer really surprised him. What are the rules in the army?

"Comrade Lin Ning is currently working on a confidential project," Yan Yu said seriously. "She needs to report to her superiors if she wants to enter into a romantic relationship. Otherwise, what if her romantic partner is from a foreign power?"

"Disgusting, huh?" Qiao Ming suddenly became furious and said coldly, "Are you slandering me as a foreign force?"

"I didn't say that." Yan Yu said coldly, "I'm just telling you the rules. I didn't set the rules. You can report it to the Zhendong Army, or even go back and tell her parents, and ask them to report it to the army and learn more about the situation."

Qiao Ming looked at him coldly, but noticed that Lin Ning quietly pulled his arm.

"Stop messing around." Yan Yu turned around and scolded, "Let's talk business!"

"Don't quarrel with him!" Lin Ning said in a low voice.

"Is this a fucking quarrel?" Yan Yu was so angry that he laughed, "Comrade Lin Ning, if you are tempted by love, please voluntarily retire early before falling in love, and don't drag us down, okay?"

"What are you talking about?" Lin Ning was also furious. She kicked him hard under the table, "I told you this isn't a date!"

"Whether you are or not, I'm putting this out there. If you're in a relationship, your partner will be arrested for political investigation. Don't be such an idiot and implicate innocent people!" Yan Yu used the elephant curse to take the blow head-on, then looked at Qiao Ming without changing his expression. "So, classmate Qiao Ming, what do you say?"

Seeing Yan Yu's harsh and even rude attitude towards Lin Ning, Qiao Ming couldn't figure out whether he was Lin Ning's boyfriend or a suitor, so he could only bite the bullet and say:

"I can accept the political review."

"Yan Yu, stop messing around!" Lin Ning couldn't help but stand up, "Qiao Ming! That's enough! I don't have any thoughts of falling in love right now!"

The scene quickly quieted down.

Qiao Ming looked at her silently, his expression visibly dejected and gloomy. Yan Yu calmly stood up and left the table, sneering as if his trick had succeeded:

"Wouldn't you have just said that earlier? You wasted so much of my time... I'll give you five minutes to take care of your affairs, and then get out of here right away! Training camp has been delayed because of you alone!"

"What do you mean by 'making arrangements for your final affairs'? Watch your wording!" Lin Ning couldn't help but complain.

Yan Yu ignored her and just walked out of the store.

As a result, when he left, Lin Ning immediately felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say to Qiao Ming.

"Lin Ning." Qiao Ming took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. "Is it true that you are participating in a confidential project?"

"Yes, really." Lin Ning nodded.

"So, if you fall in love, it will hinder your career." Qiao Ming stood up casually, "I understand."

"Uh..." Lin Ning felt that the other party seemed to have misunderstood something, but she also felt that this seemed to be the result of Yan Yu's deliberate arrangement, and if she rashly defended herself, it might make things worse.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Qiao Ming saw her expression, which was both concerned and conflicted, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Whether we are destined to be together or not, I hope you can realize your dream. This is also my greatest wish."

"Goodbye. Lin Ning, come on."

He raised the coffee cup in his hand, saluted Lin Ning briefly, and then turned and left in a casual manner. Walking out of the coffee shop, Qiao Ming let out a long breath.

Although he felt a little sad that he didn't catch up with Lin Ning, when he thought about his words before leaving and his action of leaving without hesitation, he was so handsome. This successful and graceful pretense dispelled some of the gloom and annoyance of the broken heart in his heart.

Then he saw Yan Yu standing by the door playing with his cell phone.

"Captain Yan." Qiao Ming nodded at him.

"Why don't you say anything more?" Yan Yu said without raising his head, "I've given you five minutes."

"No need." Qiao Ming brushed his bangs with his hand and said with a carefree smile, "She has her own life and path. I won't be a stumbling block for her."

"You are much more mature than her." Yan Yu continued to scroll through his phone with his head down. "Some things just can't be helped. You have to let go even if you can't."

"Captain Yan," Qiao Ming suddenly asked tentatively, "I see that Lin Ning and you seem to have a very good relationship. I've never seen her kick anyone before."

"We're from the same team." Yan Yu looked up at him. "We've fought together, don't you understand? If our relationship is bad, there will be problems."

"Yeah, I understand." Qiao Ming continued, "Then is she treating you, or the other boys on the team..."

"I don't know." Yan Yu said bluntly, "As long as it's a secret crush, no one will care."

"I understand." Qiao Ming's expression was finally completely relieved.

He walked across the street and took a taxi.

Lin Ning had obviously been watching from inside the store. After Qiao Ming's taxi drove away, she immediately ran out to look for Yan Yu:
"Why did you say that just now?!"

"Is there something wrong with me saying this?" Yan Yu looked at her in confusion. "If I don't say that, you won't know how long it will take before you tell the truth! Is it that difficult to just say 'You don't want to be in a relationship right now'?"

"You don't understand!" Lin Ning stepped on his foot again. "He didn't say he liked me at the beginning! If I just said 'I don't want to be in a relationship', wouldn't that just ruin our relationship?"

"Then why don't you just say your dad is urging you to find a boyfriend and you don't want to be in a relationship at all? Isn't that the same thing?" Yan Yu mocked her bluntly, "To put it bluntly, you're just too dumb to think straight."

"You're the dumb one!" Lin Ning angrily walked towards the school gate, "Let's go!"

Yan Yu followed her quickly, and the two walked side by side.

After entering the school gate, Lin Ning looked down at her toes, walked in a straight line along the edge of the floor tiles, and suddenly asked:
"Why didn't you try the method I used at the beginning?"

"You mean pretending to be your boyfriend?" Yan Yu sneered, "Do you deserve it?"

"Why am I unworthy?" Lin Ning suddenly became annoyed. "Tell me why I am unworthy?"

"Don't ask so many questions." Yan Yu snorted, "I advise you to be careful with your words and actions and not be impulsive."

"If you don't want to ask, then don't ask." Lin Ning gave up the straight path in annoyance and began to walk forward arrogantly. "If you weren't the only man in the team, I wouldn't want to look for you!"

"Excuse me for being blunt, but finding someone to pretend to be your boyfriend is a terrible idea." Yan Yu followed her. "A clear explanation could solve the problem, but you insist on making it up to steal someone else's love. This is only exacerbating the conflict and asking for trouble..."

"I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen!" Lin Ning plugged her ears with her hands and ran away directly using the magic of speed.

However, before he ran far, Yan Yu, who was also using the magic of speed, caught up with him.

"Why are you chasing me?" Lin Ning's eyes widened at first, then she said warily, "No more syrup jokes!"

"You're going the wrong way, idiot!" Yan Yu cursed angrily, "Our training ground is over there!"
