You are not allowed to date a trainer.

Chapter 60 Cardiac Arrest
As soon as Qin Zhen walked into the contestant channel, he felt a flash before his eyes. A small figure suddenly pounced on him, hugged him, jumped and shouted.

"Qin Zhen! You win! You win!"

"Yes, we won, thanks to Growlithe and Snake." Qin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, his tense expression gradually relaxing. "But it was a thrilling experience. That teleportation move was such a cheat. If Gym Leader Gu hadn't taught me the Qingcheng Gym's secret techniques, Snake and I wouldn't have been able to defeat his Casey."

"Teach? Humph! Only you would say something like that."

"No matter how it happened, it's an indisputable fact that I learned the unique skills of the Qingcheng Dojo." Qin Zhen poked Ying Jue's bun-like head curiously and lowered his head to look into the big Lolita's eyes. "Thank you, Jue, thank you for coming to cheer me on."

"No, it's nothing. After all... after all, we are friends, right?"

The big loli didn't think too much when she was hugged, but as soon as her eyes met Qin Zhen's, her fair and tender face immediately turned red. She let go of Qin Zhen's waist as if she had been electrocuted, jumped to the side, and turned her face away quite unnaturally.

"No, but don't let your imagination run wild! I...I just haven't had any challengers at the gym lately, and classes at school are so boring, so I figured I'd just come over to take a look. It's not..."

"No matter the reason, Jue, your support for me is real," Qin Zhen smiled. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but when I walked out of here, my mind was completely blank. There were so many people, a stadium packed to the brim. They were supporting my opponent, they saw me as their enemy, and everyone wanted to see me fail."

"I was so timid until you called my name behind me." Qin Zhen bent his knees slightly, his eyes level with Ying Jue's. He tapped his chest lightly, his expression serious. "You gave me the courage to fight."

Ying Jue stared blankly into Qin Zhen's eyes, his heart pounding like a drum. His mind went blank. It felt as if ten thousand little angels were dancing around him, five thousand of them blowing trumpets, and another five thousand frantically cheering in his ears: "What a great opportunity! Kiss me! Kiss me quickly! What are you waiting for?"
"By the way, Ajue, did you also inform Teacher Chen, Teacher Chi, and my senior brothers?" Qin Zhen straightened up and touched the back of his head. He remembered that only the big loli knew that she was on the open competition list of Qingcheng Dojo.

"It's not me. I don't know what happened either." The big loli came back to her senses. She pursed her lips and complained softly, "I thought I was the only one there to cheer you on, but who knew..."

"It's quite a coincidence. Yesterday, I was video-calling my best friend and unexpectedly saw her daughter hurriedly packing her luggage," another voice interrupted. "Then I went to the official League website and saw a message saying that the Jinguan City Gym Challenge was back, and a trainer had been specially invited to participate in the open tournament."

"Ying Lihua, it turns out to be you..." Ying Jue on the side gritted his teeth in hatred.

The young aunt came forward, holding a bouquet of flowers, and red roses bloomed in the hostess's arms.

"Good afternoon, Teacher Chi." Qin Zhen greeted his aunt and glanced curiously at Chi Songya's arms.

"Good afternoon, Qin Zhen." The aunt nodded slightly and handed the bouquet of flowers to Qin Zhen. "Congratulations, Qin Zhen, you have obtained your third badge. From today on, you are an official trainer."

"Is this for me?" Qin Zhen was a little surprised.

"Actually, I originally wanted to buy sunflowers and gladioli, but unfortunately, it seems that because of the reopening of the gym challenge, all the bouquets in the flower shop were sold out. When I arrived at the store, only roses were left in the largest number."

Having said that, the aunt smiled gently.

"Classmate Qin Zhen, I was the one who gave you the first rose from the opposite sex. Is that okay?"

The aunt said this in a rather ambiguous way, with the flavor of "The quiet girl is so beautiful, she gave me a red tube" in the Book of Songs.

This is the queen. When lolis and girls are still shyly avoiding the gaze of the boys they like, the queens have already appeared in their best clothes, lifting the boys' chins in the spotlight, not allowing them to escape at all. They are the heavy cavalry in the love field, and once they start, they are like a torrent, invincible.

"It's okay, it's okay." Qin Zhen smiled as he took the bouquet and naturally lowered his head to smell it. "It's a gift from the elders, I dare not refuse."

"A gift from the elders?" Chi Songya's eyes twitched, as if she had been suddenly struck by her own extraordinary strength. Bang! The torrent of heavy cavalry slammed headfirst into the thick mountain wall, instantly toppling overboard.

The fierce senior brother who was following behind the young aunt chuckled, turned around, and covered his mouth with his hands while laughing.

Hearing the laughter, the young aunt turned her head indifferently and glanced at the swimmer beside her.

The mosquito-repellent swimmer understood, turned around and walked in front of the powerful senior brother, raised his hand and poked the powerful senior brother in the ribs. The powerful senior brother knelt down without saying a word, and his laughter stopped abruptly.

The last person to come forward was a tall old man. He neither hugged Qin Zhen nor took out a bouquet of flowers. He just stood in front of Qin Zhen, looked at him quietly for a moment, then raised his hand and patted his shoulder hard.

"Teacher Chen, why are you here too?"

Qin Zhen was very touched, but also a little uneasy. Teacher Chen is the head teacher of the senior class. Is it really okay for him to leave his students behind and come to Jinguan City to cheer him up?
But he didn't dare to ask. Although Teacher Chen patted him on the shoulder to show his appreciation, he kept a serious face from beginning to end. When those tiger eyes looked at him, the power of his mentor for two lifetimes came crushing him. Qin Zhen couldn't help but shrink his neck. He felt that being chased by the ancient sword leopard riding an avalanche was not as terrifying as before.

"Qin Zhen, do you know what you are going to do next?"

"I know." Teacher Chen's expression was solemn, and Qin Zhen followed suit. He nodded slowly and forcefully. "And I'm ready."

Teacher Chen's expression eased a little, and he thought that this child was quite reliable.

"Teacher Chen, I'm going to Qizhou City next."

Teacher Chen was stunned when he heard this. At this moment, the names of all the universities in Qizhou City flashed through the old man's mind.

"Which school do you have your eye on? Qizhou University? Or Shandong University?"

"What does it have to do with university?" Qin Zhen scratched his head in confusion. "I'm going to the gym."

The old man's eyebrows jumped, and anger instantly jumped into the corners of his eyes.

"I've already checked. The Bixia Gym in Qizhou City is Electric-type, which is countered by Snake's Grass-type. Now that Snake and I have learned Leaf Storm, I think it shouldn't be difficult to challenge and get the badge." Qin Zhen said, counting on his fingers. "Also, Qizhou City is said to be the birthplace of modern braised chicken and rice. There are many delicious snacks there. I want to take Millerton and the others to try them, such as Youxuan, Baozirou, and Tianmo..."

"Qizhou City is also the birthplace of Shandong cuisine. Shandong cuisine is known as the top of the eight major cuisines of Donghuang, and it has countless famous dishes. Do you want to try it?" Teacher Chen asked quietly.

"Huh?" Qin Zhen was stunned. "Teacher, are you going to treat me to a meal? Then I can bring some..."

"I'll eat your head!"

The old man finally exploded. Teacher Chen stepped forward, grabbed Qin Zhen's shoulders, and roared a piece of news into Qin Zhen's ear that made his heart stop.

"Qin Zhen! Is eating and dueling with elves all you can think about? Wake up! Ten days! The college entrance exam will begin in ten days!"
