Chapter 228: Chapter 228: The Man Who Fell in Love with a Female Assassin [Second Update]

Seeing Zhou Yang look a bit shy as he spoke, Qin Tian couldn’t help but laugh.

The great Fire Wolf Zhou Yang, can actually be so coy?

”All talk and no action is no good. Before, when you were by yourself, you came here to steal glances at others. Now that I’m with you here, sneaking peeks has to change... we should look openly and aboveboard,” Qin Tian said with a chuckle.

”What are you trying to say?” Seeing the cunning gleam in Qin Tian’s eyes, Zhou Yang had a bad feeling.

Suddenly, Qin Tian smiled faintly and then turned his head towards the back room, calling out loudly, ”Miss, come here for a moment!”

”What are you doing!”

Upon hearing Qin Tian call Jin Xing over, Zhou Yang was stunned on the spot.

”If you like someone, you have to communicate more. Pretending to be all serious, you think you can score a girl? You’ll only end up pouring tea...”

Qin Tian continued to chuckle as Jin Xing walked out from the back room at that moment.

She wore her hair in a ponytail, and although she wasn’t as stunning as Murong Fei and Lu Qing, her looks definitely made her a beauty that stood out in a crowd.

”What’s the matter, is there something you need?” Jin Xing approached, glancing at Zhou Yang first before finally turning to Qin Tian.

As Zhou Yang locked eyes with Jin Xing, he immediately became somewhat tongue-tied and said, ”Um... he, he has something for you...” clearly unsettled as usual.

”Um...”

When Jin Xing looked at Qin Tian, he suddenly bent down, pulled out a small box from under Zhou Yang’s chair, and said, ”Miss, this is a gift from him. He’s too shy to give it to you, so I’m doing it for him.”

With that, Qin Tian handed over the box, saying, ”Inside are five boxes of South Korean facial masks, great for skin care. He went out of his way to a specialty store to buy them before we came.”

As Qin Tian grinned, Zhou Yang, on the other hand, gaped in shock, then speechlessly looked at Qin Tian, his face turning red.

He had never expected Qin Tian to pull a move like this!

He didn’t even realize when Qin Tian had placed a box under his seat—it was a total failure!

However, now that Qin Tian had spoken, Zhou Yang couldn’t deny it.

So, when Jin Xing looked at Zhou Yang, although he was clearly embarrassed, he could only smile at Jin Xing and cough out, ”Cough cough... I just happened to pass by... picked it up on the way.”

As he spoke, Zhou Yang scratched his head, his face growing even redder.

Qin Tian, watching from the side, felt embarrassed for him. A guy being that shy? Even middle schoolers in love don’t get that timid and blush, right?

The only explanation was... well, Zhou Yang was still a virgin and had never dated before.

As Qin Tian handed over the gift box, Jin Xing didn’t reach out to take it. She looked at Zhou Yang, and after he spoke, her expression stiffened and she too started to blush, though not as much as Zhou Yang, whose face looked as red as a chicken’s butt.

”You’ve been taking care of my business for so long, why are you being so formal today?” Jin Xing didn’t take the gift box but smiled slightly, addressing Zhou Yang.

”I...” Zhou Yang was at a loss for words.

Qin Tian quickly interjected, ”Well, Zhou Yang said he sees you working hard every day, and if a woman doesn’t take care of herself, she can age quickly. So, today he especially bought you this facial mask. If you don’t mind, he could take care of your skincare products from now on, haha.”

With Qin Tian’s words, Jin Xing and Zhou Yang exchanged glances, each growing more and more embarrassed.

”Wrapped up? You’re not someone special to me, why would you buy me things... I’m grateful that you have time to take care of my business, but you giving me gifts for no reason, I...” Jin Xing trailed off mid-sentence.

Seeing this, Qin Tian knew there was an opportunity and hurriedly kicked Zhou Yang’s leg with his foot.

But Zhou Yang was so nervous he didn’t know what to say, and could only awkwardly respond, ”Since it’s already bought, you, you just accept it please...”

”Well alright, thank you.”

Seeing this, Jin Xing lifted an eyebrow, reached out to take the gift box from Qin Tian’s hand, and without saying much, went back into the back room.

Even He Yuzi at the cash register couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle at the scene.

”To think that an instructor like you could have such a timid moment...”

Once Jin Xing had left, Qin Tian burst out laughing and teased, ”If word got out, it would be so embarrassing, don’t you think? How can you teach students to pretend to be a couple with no experience like this, all nervous...”

”Stop kicking a man when he’s down,” Zhou Yang took a deep breath, finally calmed down, and gave Qin Tian a disdainful look, saying, ”Lecture is lecture, undercover is undercover, tracking missions, I have no problem with those. I’m nervous... it’s just when facing her alone. With other women, I’m no different from you.”

When Zhou Yang said this, Qin Tian actually believed him.

If a guy likes a girl, he can often be witty and humorous with other women, but when facing the girl he secretly admires, he changes instantly; Qin Tian had seen this situation before.

”I’m curious, how did you meet her?” Qin Tian had his questions.

The first time he saw Jin Xing, Qin Tian felt that she was not your average shop owner. There was a quality about her that made Qin Tian feel a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

But Qin Tian also was certain that he had definitely not met Jin Xing before, hence he was curious.

Even He Yuzi wasn’t ordinary, Qin Tian absolutely didn’t believe that Jin Xing and He Yuzi were just ordinary women running a café to pass the time.

”How I got to know her, eh...”

At this, Zhou Yang awkwardly scratched his head.

”What’s up?” Seeing this, Qin Tian immediately sensed that Zhou Yang’s acquaintance with Jin Xing was probably not simple.

”Since you, Dragon King, helped me chase after her, I’ll tell only you this secret, but don’t go telling others,” Zhou Yang said, hesitating for a moment.

Then, suddenly lowering his voice, Zhou Yang leaned in close to Qin Tian and whispered, ”The first time I met Jin Xing was when she tried to assassinate me.”

Holy shit!

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was completely dumbfounded.

This is even possible?

She tried to assassinate you, and then, you fell in love with her?

Looking at Zhou Yang’s serious expression across from him, Qin Tian felt as if ten thousand cursing horses were galloping through his mind.

Damn, is this kind of plot even real? Could it be any more melodramatic?!

Despite being shocked, Qin Tian couldn’t suppress his curiosity to hear more, and quickly asked, ”She tried to assassinate you? When did this happen?”

”About two years ago... I was still the instructor for the Sky Wolf Mercenary Team back then. I took a group of students out for field combat practice, and after being busy the whole day, I returned to my tent to take a shower when Jin Xing suddenly appeared... I was completely caught off guard, not even dressed, and just bewildered...”
