Chapter 380: The Shooting Department Outdoor Activity

She went out at approximately 8:10 p.m. She got back around nine.

It didn’t feel like she had been gone for so long.

No wonder her lips were rather red and swollen now.

Gu Qingjiu realized that she had become increasingly degenerate.

When she got to the entrance of the dormitory, she heard Gu Qian and Chu Lian chatting merrily inside.

With the two busybodies inside, if she was caught in her current state, she would certainly face interrogation from them.

Gu Qingjiu could only purse her slightly swollen lips tightly, before pus.h.i.+ng the door and entering.

“Eh, Qingjiu you’re back.”

At the sight of Gu Qingjiu, Gu Qian greeted her like she usually did. “I helped you wash the clothes you placed on the balcony when I was was.h.i.+ng mine.”

Gu Qingjiu, who was originally planning to nod in a reserved manner, had no choice but to speak upon hearing this.

“You washed it? Ah, thank you! Thank you so much!”

She hadn’t expected Gu Qian to help her wash her clothes.

But the instant she opened her lips, those swollen and red lips gave off an abnormal glow under the lights.

Chu Lian noticed her lips almost immediately.

Even Gu Qian opened her mouth in astonishment. “What happened to your lips?”

Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips and turned her head away. She went to lie on her bed, then said in a dull voice, “It’s nothing. I ate something spicy and got a bit heaty.”

Gu Qian believed her.

Chu Lian clicked her tongue. “Must have been something really spicy.”

There was a deeper meaning to her words.

Gu Qingjiu pretended she didn’t hear that.

Thankfully, Gu Qingjiu fell asleep in no time as she laid on her bed.

The next day when she woke up, the minute she opened her eyes she touched her own lips. Thankfully her lips were no longer swollen.

There was an unread message on her phone which was placed beside her pillow.

It was from the Chief Instructor, who informed her that he had left.

< Try not to miss me. >

As she gazed at this text message, Gu Qingjiu felt something tug at her heart. After all, the Chief Instructor would be gone for a month.

To be separated when they were pa.s.sionately in love, was a form of torture every waking moment.

Especially since she couldn’t even contact him.

But Gu Qingjiu could only set these matters aside.

At that moment, her priority was to focus on learning and training.

Time pa.s.sed in such a stress-free manner all the way until Friday.

Gu Qingjiu had formed a fixed routine by then—that is, to study and train in the day, and after cla.s.s, she would head over to practice at the Shooting Department in the afternoon.

After some practice, Gu Qingjiu was able to consistently hit the sixth ring or better with a fifty-meter moving target.

It was something to feel glad about.

Moreover more importantly, she was starting to develop a sensitivity towards that red dot, which would increase the probability of her striking the bullseye.

On Friday afternoon, when her cla.s.ses were about to end, the Vice-Commander sent her a text message asking her to gather at the school entrance.

They were setting off to take part in the event.

Gu Qingjiu returned to the dormitory and packed two sets of clothes. As it was an activity with the Shooting Department, she brought along her military uniform.

When she reached the school entrance, Gu Qingjiu saw Lu Yibin from a distance.

Behind him were more than ten members of the Shooting Department. At that moment, they were standing in a neat row behind Lu Yibin.

This was the first time Gu Qingjiu saw so many people from the Shooting Department.

She walked over and offered Lu Yibin, who was filling in some form, a salute. “Vice-Commander Lu, Gu Qingjiu from the first-year computer science and technology specialization Cla.s.s C is here to report.”

“Mm, you’re here?”

Lu Yibin straightened his body and smiled at Gu Qingjiu. “Fall in and just stand next to your seniors.”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. She found a suitable spot and stood with the rest.

Almost everyone’s gazes were fixed upon her.
