“No.”
He was asking her if she was angry about what had happened in the afternoon.
Seems like the Chief Instructor caught wind of it.
He Niancheng’s lips arched in a cold angle. “Anger is indeed a meaningless emotion.”
Gu Qingjiu looked up at him. He was back facing the light and his gaze was lowered. Hence, Gu Qingjiu couldn’t see the expression on his face.
It was a moment where Gu Qingjiu had no idea what He Niancheng was thinking about.
“So, have you thought about what you’re going to do?”
His deep, pleasant and magnetic voice rang by her ears, and it felt like it was surrounding Gu Qingjiu at all 360 degrees.
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Chief Instructor, I will succeed.”
From the moment she came to military school, from the moment the Yu Family framed her father and nearly went to prison, she swore to herself that no matter how difficult and treacherous the path ahead was she would overcome it.
She only had one goal—and that was to get to a higher status than the Yu family in this lifetime.
She couldn’t leave military school. And even if she could still vividly remember Qin Huai’s words…
So what if those words were nasty? The best way to deal with this type of person was to strike the bullseye with a week of practice.
And she couldn’t count on it happening by chance.
She was confident that her talent in shooting wasn’t merely a rare and brief appearance.
Although she failed tonight, it didn’t mean that she would fail tomorrow night.
There was bound to be obstacles on the road to success, but that didn’t mean she would never achieve success.
It was merely a week.
He Niancheng’s figure went farther and farther under the light.
Until Gu Qingjiu was the only one left.
At midnight, Gu Qingjiu was finally allowed to go back, and only then did she drag her tired body back to the hostel.
Since yesterday, Gu Qingjiu had been practicing shooting non-stop.
The chief management department didn’t seem to have any objections to this punishment, and nothing was heard from them.
She wasn’t scheduled for other classes; it was as though they only needed Gu Qingjiu to succeed in this one area.
Qi Xiaoran had been staying at the hostel all day studying for her specialization.
Her two hostel mates also felt that Commanding Officer Qin was being inhumane, but they didn’t dare to voice their opinions.
The second night…
The third night…
Time was ticking by.
Gu Qingjiu had been at the shooting range all day these days.
She couldn’t seem to find that dot from a hundred-meters away.
After all, it wasn’t a twenty-meters target. She couldn’t pull off an amazing feat like last time.
During the afternoon, Qin Huai recalled the new female student he had punished the other day.
When Gu Qingjiu was practicing, he came over to look and saw her fail repeatedly. As he walked by, he jovially said to another instructor, “Not everyone is a genius. She’s considered outstanding with those results of hers, I suppose this Dayi City has never seen a real talent before.”
That night at 11:30, Gu Qingjiu collapsed on the floor.
She had been practicing non-stop for four days.
Over these four days, her best performance was only striking the 7th ring.
She felt depleted of energy. Because she had stayed up late to practice for a few consecutive days, her eyes were starting to have problems.
A shadow could be seen in a dark corner.
The silver arc light in his hands shone brilliantly, jumping on his fingertips.
He had been with her from a distance for four days.
He watched her as she failed, and saw her every expression and the hard work she put in.
But he didn’t see her get discouraged, as though that was an expression you’d never see on her face.
There was a smile that was hard to read at the corners of his lips. He had no idea why he was doing this either.
Perhaps he was a little obsessed.
