Chapter 294: I Like You

When Gu Qingjiu went to He Niancheng’s office, Commander Huo was also around.

Gu Qingjiu was aware that Commander Huo was also transferred there.

But the two of them had yet to formally announce their ident.i.ties in the school.

Add to the fact that Gu Qingjiu had been practicing all this while, it was the first time Gu Qingjiu saw Commander Huo in the school.

“Commander Huo, Chief Instructor.”

Gu Qingjiu walked in and greeted the two of them with a smile.

She even saluted at them in a bubbly manner.

“Aiyah Qingjiu ah, Qingjiu.”

Huo Yingcheng took a sip of the tea, which still had hot air coming out of it. He blew upon it. “Shouldn’t you be training right now?”

Although Qin Huai that sc.u.mbag was wicked, as a student Gu Qingjiu still had to obey his orders.

“No need, I’ll go practice again during the weekend. I’ve already hit the bullseye, so I just have to consolidate.”

After Gu Qingjiu had finished speaking, Huo Yingcheng nearly spat out the tea he was sipping. “So fast?”

His eyes nearly popped out.

Gu Qingjiu nodded with a vibrant smile. “Yeah.”

Huo Yingcheng was astounded. “I know you have a scary level of talent, but I didn’t know it’s that scary…”

No one would have a clearer idea than them of how speedy Gu Qingjiu’s progress was, or how scary her level of talent was.

He Niancheng, who was flipping through the doc.u.ments, suddenly closed the files when he heard Huo Yingcheng’s words. He then calmly said, “Her instinct is scarier than her talent.”

Huo Yingcheng was confused.

Gu Qingjiu’s lips trembled.

She hadn’t expected He Niancheng to be able to tell at one glance.

Actually, Gu Qingjiu’s shooting didn’t rely on that sort of talent for the most part.

Instead, she did it according to her sensitivity and instinct towards the bullseye.

If her instinct told her she was going to hit the bullseye, she would end up hitting the bullseye.

She looked at He Niancheng, and only then did he gazed towards her. “Something’s the matter?”

He said in a calm voice, and there was a barely distinct gentleness in his voice as compared to usual.

“I…”

She lowered her head. After all, with Huo Yingcheng around, she definitely wouldn’t be able to say it out loud.

She kept feeling that this matter was way more difficult than that tough training she underwent.

“Chief Instructor, I have something to say to you.”

What she ended up saying after summoning her courage, was this ambiguous statement.

Huo Yingcheng, who wasn’t stupid, could tell the implied meaning in her words. He instantly got to his feet, shook his head, and sighed.

“Alright, alright, I’ll go out. Qingjiu, you can say whatever you wish to say.”

He left speedily knowing she wanted him to get out of here, but in his mind, he was trying to figure out what Gu Qingjiu was going to say.

Was she going to confess to him?

Doesn’t feel like it!

Could it be some other shameful matter?

Although Huo Yingcheng was curious, he still walked away and helped them keep an eye on the surroundings, lest someone come and disrupt their conversation.

“What’s the matter? You may say it now.”

He Niancheng got up and went to the sofa to sit down.

With his legs crossed, he looked as elegant as an aristocrat from the last century. He exuded an imposing aura of someone in power, as well as the n.o.bility and elegance of an aristocrat.

Gu Qingjiu’s gaze s.h.i.+fted up and down him.

A person like him exuded a clear boundary with her.

Should she tell him what she was thinking?

She was afraid that he would mock her for her wishful thinking.

Despite standing there frozen for several minutes, He Niancheng didn’t impatiently question her.

His eyes were like the stars and moon. When he gazed at her, it was like there was a transparent glow falling upon her, making her bask in this gentleness.

Finally, Gu Qingjiu lowered her head and said in a voice that was neither soft nor loud—

“Chief Instructor, I like you.”
