Ninth ring?

The result of her first shot was something Huo Yingcheng hadnt expected.

He said in a lowered voice, Surely Qingjiu isnt having a bout of bad luck?

What he meant was, surely she wouldnt be so unlucky as to hit the ninth ring again?

On the contrary, though, Nian Chushengs eyes lit up at seeing Gu Qingjiu easily hit the ninth ring on her first try!

For this level of performance, she could be considered a genius.

Qin Huai, however, refused to give up and insisted she had to strike the tenth ring in two out of three shots. It was obvious that he was picking on her.

The others were looking to see if Gu Qingjiu could hit Qin Huais requirement.

But Nian Chusheng didnt go berserk as Qin Huai did.

He knew he had to keep Gu Qingjiu!

He also noticed the corners of Qin Huais lips twitching, at which he couldnt help but shake his head.

This Qin Huai was indeed too petty-minded.

Such a person wouldnt amount to anything great.

However, before Qin Huais smile could widen, Gu Qingjiu focused her gaze.

Bang! Bang!

She shot out two clean shots, which was followed by the sound of electronic reporting.

Beep, target number ten, ninth ring!

Beep, target number ten, ninth ring!

The announcement was loud and clear, amid the silence.

Qin Huais expression froze.

Huo Yingcheng couldnt help but clap. Terrific! Terrific!

The crux was that despite the fact that she had merely hit the ninth ring in her first try, she didnt become flustered. Instead, she fired out the second and third shots immediately after.

Her action was swift and vigorous, and it also revealed her great belief in herself.

This result was like a tight slap across Qin Huais face, making his smile completely frozen.

Good. Not bad!

Nian Chusheng stood up and clapped for her too.

His vision turned towards He Niancheng at the same time.

He Nianchengs gaze was calm and deep like a whirlpool.

Others couldnt fathom what he was feeling.

After Gu Qingjiu had finished firing those three shots, she glanced at He Niancheng the very first instant.

Commanding Officer Qin, is Gu Qingjiu considered to have passed?

As Nian Chusheng smiled, he looked towards Qin Huai.

Although Qin Huais countenance was terrible, he couldnt take back what he had said.

Even if it was him, he had no choice but to bow his head for now.

Looking at Gu Qingjiu, he said reluctantly, You were outstanding in this test. I was too harsh about the punishment earlier on. Do continue to work hard.

With that, he turned to leave without even looking at the rest.

Spit!

Huo Yingcheng spat at him in his heart.

He said he was going to apologize, yet in the end, he only asked Gu Qingjiu to work hard.

How thick-skinned!

For this Qin Huai to behave so arrogantly after being slapped in the face, he sure had thick skin!

But after he had gone away, it was much easier for Nian Chusheng to say certain things.

Qingjius talent in shooting is amazing. Seems like our school has hopes of winning the shooting competition in October.

He gazed at Gu Qingjiu with a hopeful look. On the other hand, Xiong Xuejians face flushed at hearing this.

Only

Shes indeed a good student. Make sure to groom her well.

Huo Yingcheng came over and smiled in a conspicuous manner. It was clear that he was twelve years younger than Nian Chusheng, yet he didnt behave prim and proper in front of Nian Chusheng.

But Nian Chusheng didnt seem to mind at all. He nodded and agreed with a broad beam. Of course.

How could a smart person like him not be able to tell that Huo Yingcheng was as good as He Nianchengs spokesperson?

He was merely conveying He Nianchengs intentions.

Although on the surface, he couldnt tell what special relationship there was between He Niancheng and Gu Qingjiu, Nian Chusheng could however be sure

That the relationship between these two people definitely wasnt simple!
