Top Soldier Pursued by a Beauty

Song Qingwan could no longer stand still. She abruptly dropped the microphone and rushed off the stage, heading in their direction.

With her sudden departure, the entire gymnasium erupted in a commotion. Everyone's gaze turned to Song Qingwan, and they also noticed the disturbance between Zhao Dong and Guo Yu.

A group of school leaders were also in a panic. After all, there were quite a few leaders from outside the school present, and now the situation has turned into a complete mess. This was a major incident!

A crowd hurried to stop Song Qingwan. One school leader rushed up to her and said frantically, "Miss Song, you're still in the middle of a performance! Why are you coming off stage?"

Song Qingwan frowned. "It's none of your business!"

With that, she continued on her way toward Zhao Dong, leaving the group of school leaders in a fluster. Many people in the audience seemed to sense what was happening and began to whisper among themselves.

"Is Song Qingwan upset because of the commotion down here?"

"I think so. It's over! They've angered Song Qingwan today. The school leaders won't let that Zhao Dong or Guo Yu off the hook!"

"We should be rooting for Zhao Dong. After all, he's teaching Guo Yu a lesson for us!"

"That's right, Guo Yu is a bastard who deserves a beating!"

A buzz of conversation rippled through the crowd.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhuxin was stunned to see Guo Yu beaten so miserably. Guo Yu has powerful connections. Beating him today could spell disaster for all of us!

At this thought, Shen Zhuxin swallowed hard, her face pale as she said, "Qirou's brother, this Guo Yu has powerful connections. You... you should show some mercy."

By now, Guo Yu was beaten beyond recognition. He was sprawled on the ground spitting up bloody foam, his entire body twitching uncontrollably from the beating.

Zhao Dong glanced at Guo Yu coldly, then brushed off his hands. He kicked him lightly and said, "Still have the nerve to be arrogant?"

Guo Yu spat up more blood, looking at Zhao Dong in terror. After a long moment, he managed to sputter, "You... you just wait..."

"Still talking tough?" Zhao Dong planted his foot on Guo Yu's chest. Guo Yu's body jolted, and he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

The onlookers were dumbstruck. The crowd was full of students, none of whom had ever witnessed such a violent and bloody fight. They were all awed by Zhao Dong's boldness and skill.

Just then, someone exclaimed, "Song Qingwan is here!"

All eyes turned in that direction, and a wave of excited screams erupted.

Song Qingwan had already arrived in their section. The students were ecstatic, shouting her name.

Shen Zhuxin was also overjoyed. "Song Qingwan actually came over? What for?"

Many others around were just as puzzled. "Yeah, what's she doing over here? Is she going to play a game or something?"

At this moment, everyone had forgotten about Guo Yu lying on the ground. All eyes were focused on Song Qingwan.

Zhao Qirou also momentarily forgot the earlier unpleasantness, her face glowing with excitement as she looked at Song Qingwan. "Brother, look! It's Song Qingwan! She's coming this way. I'd love to get her autograph!"

Zhao Dong smiled. "What's so great about an autograph? If you want one, I can have her sign a few hundred for you."

As soon as he said this, not only Zhao Qirou but also Shen Zhuxin and the surrounding students froze. The next second, someone couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Another person stifled a chuckle. "Qirou's brother, do you have any idea how much one of Song Qingwan's autographs goes for? You're such a braggart."

"Exactly! Song Qingwan rarely gives autographs to strangers. The ones she signs are for fans she knows personally or her die-hard followers. And you think you can get her to sign hundreds? You're talking nonsense!"

Zhao Dong just smiled. "I'm not bragging. She's here for me."

"For you?!" The crowd paused for a second before bursting into roaring laughter.

"What a joke! Qirou's brother, you've really gone too far this time!"

"Yeah, why would a huge star like Song Qingwan come looking for you? Who do you think you are?"

"Right? We actually had a pretty good impression of you, but it turns out you're just a braggart!"

Mocking laughter rose from the crowd. Zhao Qirou bit her lip and clutched the hem of her clothes. She didn't believe Song Qingwan was here for Zhao Dong either, and his words made her feel embarrassed.

Shen Zhuxin's lovely mouth twitched slightly as she gave Zhao Dong a strange look. Qirou's brother... he really did seem to be laying it on a bit thick!

Amid the crowd's excited stares, Song Qingwan arrived before them. Everyone cheered her name, thrusting paper and pens forward in the hope of getting an autograph.

However, Song Qingwan didn't even glance at them. Her gaze was fixed on Zhao Dong the entire time.

The crowd quickly sensed that something was off. That look... is she looking at Zhao Dong?

Finally, Song Qingwan looked at Zhao Dong. Her eyes were deep, and her voice, as clear and gentle as a mountain stream, rang out with a hint of grievance, "You came, but you didn't even tell me?"

Everyone was stunned. They stared blankly at the scene, unsure who she was talking to. Shen Zhuxin and Zhao Qirou were equally baffled.

Just then, Zhao Dong smiled. "It was a last-minute decision to come have a look. I was afraid of bothering you, so I didn't say anything."

In an instant, the area fell silent. Everyone was floored, some with their jaws hanging open in shock. Song Qingwan... was talking to Zhao Dong? The two of them... actually know each other? She really did come here for Zhao Dong?!

In a flash, everyone's expressions changed as they stared at the pair in disbelief.

Shen Zhuxin was also dumbfounded, murmuring, "Qirou's brother, you... you know Song Qingwan?"

Song Qingwan offered a slight smile, nodding to the crowd as a general greeting. Then, the next moment, something truly jaw-dropping happened.

She stepped forward, took Zhao Dong's hand, and smiled at everyone. "Zhao Dong and I have known each other for a long time. I saw there was some trouble here from the stage, so I came to check."

Everyone stared, dumbstruck. Looking at their relationship... it seems... a little unusual?

Shen Zhuxin looked at Zhao Qirou with a peculiar expression. "Zhao Qirou, your brother knows Song Qingwan! Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Zhao Qirou's mind went blank. My brother knows Song Qingwan? I never would have imagined he was connected like this!

"Bro, this..." Zhao Qirou looked at Zhao Dong, her eyes filled with shock.

Zhao Dong smiled and patted her head. "Alright, your big bro is good friends with the superstar. If you want autographs in the future, just tell me, and I'll get them for you."

Zhao Qirou was about to go crazy with excitement. Staring at Song Qingwan, she was too thrilled to speak. Such a huge star was her brother's friend! This was pure bliss!

Song Qingwan smiled warmly at Zhao Qirou. "So you're Zhao Dong's sister. You're so beautiful. You wanted an autograph, right? Shall I sign one for you now?"

Zhao Qirou nodded eagerly. "Thank you, Sister Song!"

She quickly handed over a photo she had prepared, and Song Qingwan signed about a dozen of them in a row.

The people nearby were so envious they were practically drooling.

Shen Zhuxin's face was also alight with eagerness and envy. Zhao Qirou glanced at her and smiled. "Senior Shen, here's one for you!"

Shen Zhuxin was ecstatic. "Really? Thank you so much!" Taking the autographed photo, her face beamed with a brilliant smile, her previously cool demeanor completely vanished.

The other students were insanely envious, all trying to ask Song Qingwan for autographs. However, the school leaders came over just then and surrounded her to maintain order.

Song Qingwan had no choice but to say goodbye to Zhao Dong and return backstage.

Everyone looked at Zhao Qirou, their eyes filled with envy. They had also completely forgotten about Guo Yu, who was beaten half to death on the ground.

At that moment, Guo Yu forced himself to his feet, shot Zhao Dong a venomous glare, and slunk away through the crowd. Just after leaving the gymnasium, he took out his phone and dialed a number...

Back in the gym, although Song Qingwan's performance had been interrupted, the impact wasn't major, and the show continued with the next act. For the rest of the performances, however, Zhao Dong became the center of attention among the students. Many female university students were now looking at him with a peculiar light in their eyes, and they had already started asking around about him.

Zhao Dong naturally noticed this but didn't think much of it.

Finally, as noon approached, the show began to wind down.

Zhao Dong had been hoping to see Song Qingwan again for a more... personal chat. But she sent him a message saying she was just too busy. She had another event to get to and had to leave first. She also added that she would make it up to him properly later...

Zhao Dong looked at the text message and smiled to himself, understanding that she was indeed incredibly busy.

Soon, the performance ended, and the audience began to file out.

As Zhao Dong and Zhao Qirou were getting ready to leave, Shen Zhuxin waved to Zhao Dong, a charming smile on her face. "Qirou's brother, let me treat you and Qirou to a meal. It's about lunchtime anyway."

Zhao Dong was taken aback and was about to refuse, but Shen Zhuxin's beautiful eyes shimmered as she said plaintively, "Please, give me a chance to thank you. Don't refuse!"

Zhao Dong gave a wry smile. Beside him, Zhao Qirou's eyes twinkled as she said, "Let's go, Bro. Senior Shen means well. It's just a meal; it won't take long."

Feeling he had no choice, Zhao Dong decided to go along for his sister's sake. He nodded with a smile. "Alright, let's go have a meal together."

A smile immediately bloomed on Shen Zhuxin's face. "Great, I'll book the restaurant!"

The restaurant was quickly booked, and the three of them walked out of the gymnasium together. By now, the students had nearly all left, and the area was mostly empty.

Just as they stepped out of the gymnasium, Zhao Dong saw a massive crowd swarming toward them. They were carrying iron rods and steel pipes, and their eyes were filled with malice.

In an instant, Zhao Dong's eyes narrowed, his brow furrowing tightly.

*I've been swamped these last two days, but I'll be back to a stable update schedule starting tomorrow! Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a joyful family reunion!*
