Did Instructor Xiong say anything else? asked Lu Yibin.

Lu Yimei shook her head. No.

She looked rather solemn. She glanced behind Gu Qingjiu, who was then talking to Lu Yixin as they followed behind. We didnt quite finish watching that video

It was because they were stunned beyond belief after seeing her performance in the first part.

Her response speed wasnt something a newbie could display.

Then lets talk when we get back.

Lu Yibin made such a decision.

In the Shooting Department, although Lu Yimei was the Commander on paper, she had to consult most matters with the Vice-Commander, Lu Yibin.

This was because he was more meticulous and considered things more broadly.

That night, the National Military University of China students took their bus back to school.

According to the rules, they were supposed to head back to the university on the morning of the next day, but they ended up going back that evening.

It was already very late by the time they got back. According to the rules, they werent allowed to go back to their dormitory.

Lu Yimei went with Gu Qingjiu on purpose to look for the in-charge of the dormitory, so that the latter could go back inside.

Before leaving, she patted Gu Qingjiu on her shoulders. Have a good rest tonight. It must have been tiring for you today. You ought to rest.

Gu Qingjiu nodded. Got it, bye Commander.

After Lu Yimei had nodded and left, Gu Qingjiu returned to her dormitory.

She cautiously opened the door. Inside, Gu Qian and Chu Lian were sound asleep. When Gu Qingjiu entered, she saw someone lying on the upper bunk of her bed.

The sound of the opening of the door might have woken up the other party for she turned her head around.

Gu Qingjiu was mildly surprised to see her. Youre back?

So, Qi Xiaoran was back.

Qi Xiaoran nodded somewhat sleepily at Gu Qingjiu. You went to take part in an event today?

Mm.

She replied simply. Next to their bunk, Chu Lian woke up looking dazed. Youre back, Qingjiu?

As though she was talking in her sleep, she flipped around and fell back to sleep after asking her that.

Gu Qingjiu curled her lips silently, then looked up at Qi Xiaoran. Your wounds have more or less healed right?

Mm.

Qi Xiaoran replied simply as well. Gu Qingjiu didnt ask her any more questions.

After that nights thrilling competition, Gu Qingjiu felt exhausted.

She wanted to take a shower. But since there wasnt flowing water anymore, she could only go to bed in that state.

When she woke up in the morning, she found someone sitting on the edge of her bed. This movement woke her up.

Only

Opening her eyes, she saw Gu Qians eyes staring back at her. Qingjiu, why did you come back yesterday? Werent you supposed to return to school this afternoon?

Gu Qingjiu rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up in bed. I dont know. After the event ended yesterday, the Commander asked us to come back.

She didnt deliberately talk about what had happened during yesterdays competition.

Just as she was about to get up to wash, Gu Qian who was behind her had an excited look on her face as she asked, Was yesterday fun? I heard the Shooting Departments outdoor activities are super interesting.

Gu Qian felt a sense of anticipation towards such departments as the Shooting Department. It was mainly also because there wasnt anyone she knew in the said Department.

She initially thought that Gu Qingjiu would return in the afternoon, but when she woke up this morning, she saw Gu Qingjiu lying on her bed.

Seeing that she was already awake, Gu Qian, who couldnt contain her excitement, naturally couldnt stop herself from talking.
