Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

As she leaned against the doorframe, after listening to the two men state their identities and purpose, her reaction was extremely cold; she even let out a contemptuous sneer.

"Super soldier? Protecting the Earth?" Her red lips parted slightly, her voice soft and sweet, yet each word carried an icy edge. "What does that have to do with me?"

Her gaze swept across the drab buildings outside the window, her tone tinged with self-deprecation and undisguised sarcasm:

"What has this society ever given me? Warmth? Care? Ha, just because of this worthless gene passed down in my family, generation after generation, people have pointed fingers at us behind our backs, calling us vixens, mistresses, and prostitutes! I earn a little money by live streaming, and I'm still looked at with prejudice. Why should I protect it? Is it worth it?"

Rose took a deep breath, stepped forward, and tried to communicate with her as a woman, explaining the stakes, the responsibilities of home, and even trying to evoke any goodwill she might have.

But Su Xiaoli ignored her completely. Her captivating eyes were fixed on Qin Chuan the whole time, her gaze bold, direct, and full of inquisitive interest, as if she had discovered some extremely interesting prey.

Rose spoke until her throat was dry, and her patience finally ran out. Her tone unconsciously took on a military-like hardening:

"Su Xiaoli! This is no child's play! Earth is facing a crisis, and every potential force is crucial! So what exactly do you want in exchange for joining us?"

Upon hearing this, Su Xiaoli's eyes lit up slightly, and her gaze became unabashedly fixed on Qin Chuan, scrutinizing him from his handsome face to his tall, upright figure. A sly, ambiguous smile played on her lips.

"Well, it's not impossible for me to join."

She drawled out her words, like a lazy cat:

"If I could find a 'real man' like this handsome guy—strong, good-looking, and stylish—who would be willing to have a passionate romance with me, I might just agree on the spot?"

The intention couldn't be clearer!

Blatant flirting and demands.

Rose's face instantly darkened, and her hands, which were placed at her sides, unconsciously clenched.

If it were according to her usual personality, in order to complete the mission and ensure the integrity of the super soldier team, she might have agreed to this level of "sacrifice" or "strategy" without hesitation on Qin Chuan's behalf, and might even have thought in her heart that it was a simple and effective method.

But at this moment, hearing Su Xiaoli so bluntly and almost frivolously "covet" Qin Chuan, she felt a strong sense of resistance and irritation welling up in her heart for no reason, as if a thorn had been stuck in her heart.

The cold "yes" lingered on his lips for a long time, but it was as if something was blocking his throat, and he couldn't say it.

She even subconsciously shifted half a step to the side, slightly blocking Qin Chuan, and coldly stared at Su Xiaoli with a defensive posture that she herself was unaware of.

The atmosphere became tense, filled with awkwardness, a sense of competition, and an air of impending conflict.

Finally, Qin Chuan, who had been calmly observing Su Xiaoli, broke the silence.

He seemed oblivious to Qiangwei's obstruction, and unconcerned by the almost offensive condition. He simply looked at Su Xiaoli, whose eyes held a stubbornness that concealed a barely perceptible hint of probing and vulnerability, and nodded faintly.

"Yes. Super God Academy welcomes you."

The languidness and mockery on Su Xiaoli's face vanished instantly, replaced by boundless energy. Her smile blossomed, and she radiated brightness. She practically skipped over to Qin Chuan, her voice sweet and alluring:

"Really? Principal, you're so kind! You keep your word! So when do we start 'training'?"

She pronounced the word "training" with a myriad of nuances, making it seem meaningful.

Seeing Su Xiaoli practically pressed against Qin Chuan, and Qin Chuan's calm and composed attitude—seemingly neither rejecting nor even understanding—Qiangwei felt an inexplicable discomfort growing stronger, a dull ache in her chest that made it hard for her to breathe.

But she herself couldn't say whether it was because she disliked Su Xiaoli's frivolous and casual attitude, which undermined the seriousness of the team, or for some other reason she didn't want to think about.

She could only tighten her pretty face, suppress all her emotions, turn around without a word, and utter two words in a harsh voice: "Let's go."

This recruitment mission feels more frustrating than ever before.

Chapter 18 Co-ed Living?

On the way to the Super God Academy, the moonlight was as clear as water, but it couldn't penetrate the subtle atmosphere between the three of them.

Su Xiaoli walked almost entirely beside Qin Chuan, deliberately making her skirt sway alluringly with every step.

Her slender fingers would occasionally brush against Qin Chuan's hand unintentionally, and the sweet fragrance of her hair would sweep across his shoulder.

"Principal~ You walk so steadily," her voice was sweet and clear in the quiet night. "I always have trouble walking at night, could you teach me?"

As she spoke, she stumbled again and grabbed Qin Chuan's arm.

Before Qin Chuan could respond, Qiangwei, who was following behind, kicked a pebble away.

A pebble hit the roadside railing with a soft thud, sending up a spark in the silence.

Her icy blue eyes were almost filled with solid ice shards, but she could only bite her lower lip tightly as she watched Su Xiaoli practically cling to Qin Chuan.

"Principal, what do you like to eat?" Su Xiaoli pushed her luck, shaking Qin Chuan's arm. "I'll cook especially for you from now on, okay? I can also give massages~"

Rose's knuckles cracked as she pinched the strings.

“Principal, look at the moon over there,” Su Xiaoli suddenly stopped, tiptoed closer to Qin Chuan’s ear, and breathed softly, “It’s as beautiful as your eyes, so cool and serene, yet you make people want to keep looking at it.”

"Enough!" Rose finally lost her temper, her voice sounding like it had been pulled from an ice cellar. "We're only ten minutes from the dorm, can't you walk quietly?"

Su Xiaoli turned around and smiled, her eyes innocent yet mischievous: "Sister Qiangwei, are you tired? Do you want the principal to help you?"

Rose was so angry she almost drew her sword on the spot!

She glared at Qin Chuan, only to find that he was completely unmoved, as if the person next to her was invisible.

This unnamed anger continued all the way to the dormitory assignment office.

Rose looked at the tightly closed door in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, she could get rid of this vixen.

However, the next second, Su Xiaoli's sickeningly sweet voice shattered her hopes once again.

"Principal~" The girl practically clung to Qin Chuan's arm, her chest lightly brushing against his arm. "I'm scared to live alone~ Anyway, the dorm is so big, why don't you live with me?"

She looked up, her eyes glistening with tears, "I promise I'll be very good~ I'll even make you honey water tonight~"

This is no longer a hint, it's downright seduction!

Rose's anger instantly surged to its peak, and her fingers were already on the hilt of the knife.

"I share a room with Rose."

Qin Chuan's calm and unwavering voice was like an icy spring, suddenly extinguishing all the noise.

"Wh...what?!" Rose looked up abruptly, her icy blue eyes wide open.

All her anger was shattered by this sudden decision, replaced by a blank, bewildered expression. She could feel her cheeks burning uncontrollably, probably ridiculously red.

She naturally didn't know that Qin Chuan made this decision simply because he couldn't be too far away from her.

The spacetime gene within Rose's body is currently the best "anchor point" to stabilize the restless spacetime around him; the closer the distance, the better the effect.

The words of refusal were already on the tip of his tongue, but when he caught a glimpse of Su Xiaoli's face instantly crumble and her foxy, unwilling eyes, a strange, childish competitive spirit suddenly surged into his heart.

Why should we let this vixen succeed?!

Rose took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and slightly raised her chin, making her voice as flat as possible: "Okay."

She turned her face away and added, "It's all for work."

Su Xiaoli immediately bristled: "Then I want to live with you guys too!"

She rushed over and hugged Qin Chuan's other arm, "It's more fun with more people! And I can serve tea and water to the principal and Sister Qiangwei!"

Their real purpose, of course, was to prevent them from having any opportunity to be alone together.

"Don't even think about it!" Rose coldly refused, her tone resolute.

Su Xiaoli snorted and shook Qin Chuan's arm forcefully: "Principal~ Look at her! Aren't you the biggest person in Super God Academy? Don't they all have to listen to you? Her word doesn't count, right?"

Two gazes, one icy cold and the other burning hot, focused simultaneously on Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan glanced at Qiangwei, whose face was frosty, then at Su Xiaoli, whose big, blinking eyes seemed to say, "I'll make a scene if you don't agree." After a moment's thought, he nodded.

"Sure. The dorm rooms are for four people each."

In any case, it makes no difference to him whether there is one more person or one less person, as long as Rose is there.

"Yay! The principal is the best!"

Su Xiaoli immediately cheered and triumphantly gave Qiangwei a victory sign.

Rose was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth, but there was nothing she could do. She could only glare at Qin Chuan and mutter to herself, "That blockhead! Idiot!"

The three of them, each with their own thoughts, arrived at their assigned dormitory room. Pushing open the door, they were surprised to find someone already inside.

A tall, red-haired girl was making the bed with her back to them, humming an unknown song.

It was none other than the Goddess of the Blazing Sun, Di Lena.

Hearing the door open, she turned around, her bright eyes widening instantly when she saw who it was.

"Oh? Isn't this our great acting principal?" Lena's gaze swept over Rose behind Qin Chuan and Su Xiaoli, who was practically pressed against him, and she curled her lips into a playful smile. "What, here to inspect the girls' dormitory?"

When she heard that the three of them were going to live together in this dormitory room, her mouth dropped open so wide it could fit an egg.

"Wait...you, you guys...men and women living together?!"

Lena pointed at Qin Chuan in surprise, then looked at Qiangwei and Su Xiaoli:

"I knew Earth's civilization was more open-minded than our old, conservative place, Lieyang, which is why I came here... but I never expected it to be this open!"

After a brief moment of shock, a fierce fighting spirit quickly ignited in Lena's eyes.

Perfect timing! That guy was so arrogant during the meeting, daring to look down on Lieyang Technology? Watch how this goddess takes you down!

Therefore, the first person to launch an offensive against Qin Chuan after checking in was not Su Xiaoli, but Di Leina.

Late at night, after taking a bath, Lena was only wrapped in a towel, her wet red hair draped over her smooth shoulders.

She walked straight to Qin Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed meditating, and deliberately bent down, keeping the edge of the bath towel barely at the most dangerous limit.

"Principal~ the water in the bathroom is very hot," she breathed, her breath sweet and fragrant with the moist scent of flowers after a shower. "Want to come along? I can scrub your back~"

Qin Chuan didn't even lift his eyelids; the spatial energy around him flowed like still water.

When her first plan failed, Lena simply changed into an almost transparent silk nightgown and walked around the dormitory.

Moonlight filtered through the window screen, outlining faintly visible curves.

She would bend down to look for something, and then deliberately let the shoulder strap slip down, the pearly luster flowing across her skin.

"Oh no, where did my earring go...?"

She knelt on the carpet beside Qin Chuan's bed. When she turned her head, her eyes sparkled, but she found that he was still immersed in meditation, and even his breathing rate did not change at all.

This complete disregard, however, thoroughly fueled the Sun Goddess's competitive spirit.

She stood up abruptly, hands on her hips, glaring at the rock-solid man: "You, Qin Chuan! So aloof! This goddess refuses to believe it!"

On the other side, Su Xiaoli pouted and cursed Lena for jumping the gun, while Qiangwei stood by with her arms crossed, watching coldly, her mood as complicated as an overturned palette.
