After the two of them finished eating, He Niancheng wiped his mouth and said, “Is there any place you’d like to go today?”
Gu Qingjiu thought for a moment, then shook her head and replied, “No. Let’s go back to school earlier today. I need to head to the Shooting Department for training today.”
She was supposed to train this week as well.
But because Yu Bao’er had asked her out, Gu Qingjiu applied for leave and went out of the school.
Who knew that Yu Bao’er would bail, and at the same time, He Niancheng returned.
Naturally, she continued to frolic outside.
Since He Niancheng was back, Gu Qingjiu felt that it didn’t matter where they stayed. Hence, she prepared to go back and train.
“Alright.”
He Niancheng didn’t stop her. If he wanted to see her, he could do so any time in school.
After breakfast, he and Gu Qingjiu packed up, and then returned to the military school.
Just as they were about to reach the school, Gu Qingjiu got out of the car some distance from the entrance of the school.
It was a Sunday, so there were plenty of people at the school entrance. Gu Qingjiu didn’t wish for anyone to see them.
He Niancheng let her be and drove back first, for he still had to tend to some matters in school.
When Gu Qingjiu reached the school, she first went to the canteen to eat.
Since the two of them came back early, she made it just in time for lunch.
When she reached the Shooting Department, Gu Qingjiu went straight for the hundred-meter moving target.
She had more or less mastered the fifty-meter target. Although she wasn’t perfectly confident of hitting the bullseye 100% of the time, she wanted to give the hundred-meter target a shot.
If the results proved she couldn’t handle the hundred-meter target, she would go back to practicing with a fifty-meter target.
While she was practicing, Lu Yimei came by to watch her train.
“Qingjiu, you’re back from your leave?”
“Mm!”
Gu Qingjiu turned her head and kept away her gun to salute Lu Yimei upon seeing her enter. “Commander Lu.”
Lu Yimei nodded. “Mm. You’re practicing with the hundred-meter target now. You’ve more or less mastered the feel of the fifty-meter target?”
“More or less.” Gu Qingjiu said honestly, “But I can’t guarantee I’ll hit the bullseye 100% all the time. I merely came to try out this target. If I can’t handle it, I’ll go back to practicing with the fifty-meter target.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yimei paused for a moment. “You’re different from us. It’s not that you can’t practice this way. But based on my experience, you probably ought to practice with a fifty-meter target until you feel more sure of it. But let’s look at your results today first.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Okay!”
She turned away and continued to practice. By her side, Lu Yimei said with a smile, “Qingjiu, do you remember the post on the forum?”
“Mm? What post?”
“The post that said you and Yin Ruoyi ought to be a couple.”
Lu Yimei laughed out loud. “But Qingjiu, you don’t have a boyfriend, do you? Yin Ruoyi doesn’t have a girlfriend either. You can’t blame the students for being too nosy.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
What was she to say!
Gu Qingjiu merely regarded that as a joke. But it suddenly occurred to her—the Chief Instructor wouldn’t have seen those stuff, would he?
If he saw that…
Just as Gu Qingjiu was thinking about this, He Niancheng who had just returned to his office started tending to the matters at hand.
But before this, just like he always did, he first took a look at Gu Qingjiu’s detailed information this week.
After seeing the lass shoot to fame from the competition, he felt pretty proud of her. Then he saw something about an online forum. Because he paid special attention to Gu Qingjiu, he went to check it out.
Then he saw those comments about how Yin Ruoyi and Gu Qingjiu actually looked pretty compatible.
‘Crack!’
He Niancheng instantly crushed the mouse in his hand.
There was a dark glow in his eyes.
‘Compatible?’
