185: Chapter 185 Playing around almost killed me
The cleaning lady knocked on the door several times before she finally got the innermost training room to open.
Under the cleaning lady's suggestive gaze, the two walked out, pretending they had just finished a normal training session.
They were, however, a bit disheveled.
By this time, the students had long since left, and the two walked into the gender-segregated shower rooms, which were empty.
Zhao Xiaoshuai hadn't had his fill yet, and at that moment, an idea struck him, so he quietly snuck over to Hao Jinghan's side.
After confirming that only one shower stall had the sound of running water, he used astonishing control to silently approach his girlfriend's position.
The warm water pouring down from overhead would certainly affect her hearing to some extent.
Therefore, even with Hao Jinghan's military vigilance, she didn't notice that her cheat-like boyfriend had approached her.
Until she suddenly felt a slippery body press against her back from behind.
In that split second, she displayed the combat prowess of an active-duty special forces soldier, triggering a reflexive counterattack after only a fraction of a second of surprise.
Her left foot swept backward with a burst of force, disrupting the "enemy's" center of gravity while her body simultaneously shifted forward to evade any potential attack or restraint from the "enemy."
The shower stall was very narrow, basically only big enough for one person to stand in.
But like an agile monkey, Hao Jinghan used only a few limited points of support, nimbly climbing a few times before launching herself into the air.
Through her body's previous perception, she had already judged the approximate location of the "enemy" whose center of gravity had been disrupted, and without even turning her head, she completed a leg lock around the "enemy's" head while in mid-air.
Zhao Xiaoshuai was dumbfounded.
He had thought it would just be a little flirtatious play, but he had almost lost his life.
He had been feeling quite smug about his current combat power value of 30, but in that instant, he was subdued by his girlfriend before he could even react.
The various attributes he was so proud of had no room to be utilized at this moment.
If Hao Jinghan hadn't realized what was happening and held back, he might already be a dead man.
Only then did he fully believe what Hao Jinghan had said last time; she said a decent veteran could easily kill him, and it didn't seem like she was just fear-mongering.
Martial arts and killing techniques are two different concepts.
The two of them crashed heavily to the ground, with Hao Jinghan's thighs locked tightly around her boyfriend's neck; a single burst of effort would have snapped it.
But she snapped back to reality at the last moment, realizing she was in a training class in the city, not on a distant battlefield, so she pulled back in time.
She also vaguely guessed that this person who had suddenly appeared was most likely her insatiable, playboy boyfriend.
Falling to the ground and looking down, it was indeed him.
A wave of deep lingering fear then welled up in her heart, a kind of panic she had never experienced even when facing life-and-death crises on the battlefield.
"You really... do you know how dangerous that was just now? If I had reacted a split second slower, you would be dead!"
Zhao Xiaoshuai was also a bit embarrassed, but looking up and seeing his girlfriend's terrified expression, his heart stirred.
Feeling the two thighs pinning his neck loosen, he turned over.
Hao Jinghan, who had been extremely panicked, was left between laughing and crying by this action.
"...What kind of situation is this, and you still have the mood for this!"
"I really give up on you."
Hao Jinghan also gave up, feeling as if she had just experienced a life-and-death separation, her emotions currently in great turmoil.
Which made her more susceptible to passion.
She pulled her boyfriend up, and amidst the rushing water, they kissed passionately.
[You interacted with Hao Jinghan and luckily obtained a multiplier silver card]
[Hao Jinghan's favorability + 30]
When the two came out, everyone had already left, the hallway lights were off, and only the elderly gatekeeper remained.
The cleaning lady for the bathroom had likely been scared off by their uninhibited sounds and ultimately did not clean the shower stall.
Although Hao Jinghan was a bit embarrassed, she thought that since this was her last indulgence before returning to the military, she would just let herself be.
Zhao Xiaoshuai looked at the inexplicably surged 30 points of favorability; he didn't know where it came from, but it was a good thing regardless.
In fact, although it was a bit dangerous just now, he likely wasn't in any mortal danger.
This kind of strangulation usually causes spinal cord injury or vertebral artery dissection, but Zhao Xiaoshuai had reinforced his various organs more than a dozen times, which of course included his blood vessels and bones.
He could confidently say that his bones would have no problem shattering ordinary concrete walls.
However, he had seen the deep worry and fear in Hao Jinghan's eyes at the time, which was why he had taken the opportunity to change the atmosphere.
No matter how many things were on her mind, if you make her feel comfortable, it cures everything.
"Want to go get a drink?"
"Not today, my dad has placed a ban on me; I must go home for dinner, and I'm already a bit late."
"Then I'll take you home."
"Mm."
Along the way, Hao Jinghan became somewhat silent.
After the tide of passion receded, the scene from earlier surged back into her mind; although no longer as intense, she once again recalled that panic.
The memory of an important person dying before her eyes was recalled once again, and this time she had even almost killed another important person with her own hands.
For the first time, she felt a bit of hatred for the skills she had previously been so proud of.
"In the future, don't play such dangerous games again, okay?"
Hao Jinghan asked very softly, yet very seriously.
But Zhao Xiaoshuai naturally wouldn't let her immerse herself in her own little world of sadness; he smiled lightly:
"That won't do."
"But next time, I'll wait until I'm stronger than you to play, strong enough that even if you want to kill me, you can't."
Hao Jinghan's somewhat sorrowful mood was indeed interrupted, and she retorted huffily: "Who on earth gave you that confidence? I don't know who it was that got beaten down by me in ten minutes just now."
"I've only been learning martial arts for a few days, just wait a month."
Hao Jinghan was silent for a moment, "Alright, I'll wait for you for a month."
She had already told Zhao Xiaoshuai before that she was only home to visit family and had to return to the military.
If he went back and checked a little, he would know that she definitely didn't have a month left.
But he acted nonchalant; it was unclear whether he was too silly to check how long her home leave was, or if he was just tacitly choosing not to touch upon this sensitive topic.
Enjoying the wine today while we have it; perhaps they were both just people who wanted to cherish the present.
Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't actually think that much.
He just planted the seeds, and they would naturally sprout.
Although Hao Jinghan was taking medicine, taking medicine isn't 100% effective, not to mention that Zhao Xiaoshuai had used the [More Children, More Blessings · Variant] skill.
He had always used this skill in reverse, and this was the first time he had activated its positive effect.
After so many days of hard work, he believed that the system skill would give him a satisfactory result.
