Gu Qingjiu didn’t despise Feng Yumeng.
But if Feng Yumeng admitted defeat just like that, she would feel displeased.
No one was perfect, and to be thinking this way was perfectly normal.
Especially if Feng Yumeng’s desire to back out of this after discovering that Gu Qingjiu’s combat skills weren’t too bad. That wouldn’t do.
After Gu Qingjiu had said those words to her, she stopped talking.
After all, girls were thin-skinned. After being lectured, she felt too embarrassed to talk to Gu Qingjiu.
She merely kept her head bowed low and didn’t say anything. Nobody knew what was going through her head.
When the combat class ended, they each returned to their respective classes and went on with their courses.
After the afternoon training ended, Gu Qingjiu didn’t head to the Shooting Department to practice.
She told Feng Yumeng that she would go to the combat training ground. Whether or not the latter turned up was up to her.
If she didn’t turn up today, Gu Qingjiu would give up on Feng Yumeng.
She would continue to let Feng Yumeng be her partner, but she wouldn’t have any more interaction with her.
There was a training ground for every activity, and combat was no exception.
Moreover, the management of the combat training ground wasn’t as strict as that of the shooting range. There would usually be a lot of people practicing in the combat training ground in the afternoon.
When Gu Qingjiu returned to the dormitory, she merely retrieved her phone.
She was afraid that the Chief Instructor would call her.
Indeed, as she was walking, her phone suddenly rang.
And the caller was indeed the Chief Instructor.
“Where are you?”
The same old question, as always.
Gu Qingjiu’s mouth twitched. “Heading to the combat training ground.”
“Why?”
“My partner’s combat skills are too lousy. I need to give her additional training for her not to remain at the bottom of the level, at the very least.”
“You mean you’re an instructor now?”
He Niancheng chuckled. “So you can’t come over today?”
Gu Qingjiu instantly understood what he meant. He was asking if she wasn’t going over to his office.
She did wish to go, so she wasn’t anxious to say no for now. “Depends. I usually train until about 7:30 pm. When I’m done training I’ll head over to your office.”
Of course, before that, she had to go back to the dormitory to take a shower.
She just felt too embarrassed to say it out loud.
“Mm.”
He responded, then hung up.
After the call with the Chief Instructor, Gu Qingjiu felt her mood improve greatly.
She headed to the combat training ground with a jovial heart.
When she reached, she saw that there were plenty of people there.
There was quite a lot of training equipment in the combat training ground that students could utilize.
When Gu Qingjiu came, many people noticed her arrival.
Well, that was because she was somewhat already famous. The way everyone was staring at her was just like the way she was staring at everyone back in high school.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the present Gu Qingjiu was one of the legendary figures at school.
But this legendary figure was too low-profile. Other than hanging out at several training venues, she didn’t participate in many other activities.
Naturally, she only knew a few people. There weren’t many that she recognized around.
In fact, she wasn’t even familiar with her classmates in the same class.
Add to the fact that she tended to behave aloofly in front of others, there weren’t many people who dared to come up to talk to her.
Gu Qingjiu found a spot to train, then sat down and looked at the time.
5:30 pm.
If by six Feng Yumeng still didn’t come, she would leave.
Gu Qingjiu was a rather patient person, but her patience depended on the situation.
After sitting there and waiting for several minutes, she figured Feng Yumeng likely wouldn’t be showing up.
Then, she saw a figure slowly walking in the entrance.
It was Feng Yumeng.
