Other than that, she didnt waste a single moment.

Whenever she returned to the dormitory, she spent most of her time reading.

Even Feng Yumeng was scared of her condition.

Gu Qingjiu was putting her utmost effort into the combat lessons! Even if Gu Qingjiu didnt try so hard, Feng Yumeng was already in fear that Gu Qingjiu might kill her.

They would go for lessons during the day, and at night she would train intensively with Gu Qingjiu.

She also was aware of what had happened to Gu Qingjiu, but nobody dared to poke at that wound.

As for shooting, Gu Qingjiu also showed tremendous improvement.

A hundred-meter moving target no longer posed as a challenge to her now, so she started training with a two hundred-meter moving target instead.

And she maintained her perverse accuracy at the eighth ring, or better every single time.

Other than shocking, Lu Yimei and the rest also felt worried about Gu Qingjiu in secret.

They were worried that Gu Qingjiu suffered too much agitation from He Nianchengs incident. Although it was a good thing for her to perform at such a high level, it was not clear whether that was truly a good thing for her or not.

In the past, she would at least chat with Gu Qian and Chu Lian for a bit, but now, she would bury her head in a book whenever she returned to the dormitory. Anyone could tell that something wasnt quite right with her.

But what others didnt know was that Gu Qingjiu didnt know what she could do to lessen her longing for He Niancheng.

She didnt have any news of He Niancheng at all and couldnt even contact Huo Yingcheng.

What could she do?

She could only transform this longing into motivation and put her all into military school.

Just like what the Chief Instructor told her before leaving, she should focus on training and wait for him to come back.

What else could she do? Hide in one corner and weep in secret while complaining to the heavens?

She was no longer the same person she used to be.

As they entered mid-May, the chirping of insects from the trees became increasingly ear piercing.

The sun was also unbearably glaring and hot each day.

Some first-year students who were undergoing intensive training even started showing signs of heatstroke.

The intensity of the training wouldnt change with the weather.

On this day, Lu Yimei came to look for Gu Qingjiu in the Shooting Department after school.

Qingjiu, you dont have to go to class tomorrow. Ive already applied for leave with your commanding officer. Ill take you to see Yin Ruoyis teacher tomorrow.

Hm? Now?

Because she was putting all her focus on training, time didnt pass very slowly for her. Unexpectedly, it was already time for her to meet with Yin Ruoyis teacher.

Gu Qingjiu also knew that her focus should be on her shooting training.

Mm.

Lu Yimei nodded. Ill bring you there tomorrow. You can go in your military uniform. Eight in the morning tomorrow. Therell be a vehicle picking us up. Ill wait for you at the school entrance.

Tomorrow was Friday. Since they were going on a Friday, it meant they could still take a break the day after tomorrow.

Okay, thank you, Commander.

Youre welcome.

Lu Yimei smiled and waved goodbye at Gu Qingjiu.

Shortly after Lu Yimei left, Lu Yibin came.

Only

He watched Gu Qingjiu in the enormous training venue by herself with a hesitant look. After which, he seemed to decide about something. He then entered.

Qingjiu.

She heard footsteps behind her when he arrived. When she turned around and saw that it was Lu Yibin, she revealed the same faint smile she always showed. Hello, Vice-Commander.

Mm. Youre going to meet Yin Ruoyis teacher tomorrow. That teacher is a legend. To receive guidance from him, I believe you will show incredible improvement. When that time comes, I think even I and my older sister wont be your match.

Perhaps they might perform better than Gu Qingjiu with moving targets for now.

But for combat in the wild, they werent Gu Qingjius opponent.

When Gu Qingjiu heard this, she revealed a modest smile. No way, you and Sister Yimei are incredible.
