Chapter 392: Could Relate to Her

This mountain was indeed huge. At least, for the entire afternoon, other than running into a few students from Haihe Military University, Gu Qingjiu didn’t even run into a single one from the legendary National Defense University.

Lu Yixin tried a few times and barely managed to hit the legs of three stationary rabbits three times.

And that was when she was a certain distance away.

Actually, from how Gu Qingjiu saw it, her performance was pretty good already.

At least it went to show that the members of the Shooting Department were of a certain caliber.

With their results, Lu Yixin and Gu Qingjiu happily returned to their camp at the stipulated time.

Plenty of the other members were also starting to come back.

Gu Qingjiu and Lu Yixin carried their rather substantial load of prey and tossed them into the courtyard.

Lu Yimei came over and took a glance. “Yo, Sister, quite a fruitful trip, huh!”

“That’s all Qingjiu. She managed to hit a prey every time she fired a shot. I merely managed to hit a few.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingjiu immediately and modestly said, “No, I was only randomly firing out those shots, and I was only aiming to hit the target. Whereas Yixin aimed to hit the legs every single time.”

Lu Yixin waved a hand. “Don’t be modest. With your standards, it’s a waste to be hunting animals. You should be hitting humans tonight.”

Lu Yimei’s lips curled up with a hint of a smile. “Hit what human?”

“I’m planning to give up my chance to Qingjiu tonight. She said she’s itching to try, so I’ll let her get a kick out of it.”

Lu Yimei instantly shouted, “Nonsense! Qingjiu just started practicing with a moving target. It was her first time practicing hitting preys today. How can she take part in the compet.i.tion? You think the members of the Shooting Department from the other two schools are easy to deal with?”

It was clear Lu Yimei strongly disagreed with this decision.

Although Lu Yimei reprimanded Lu Yixin, the latter didn’t appear angry. She merely murmured, “In any case, even if I go… just let Qingjiu go in and have some fun.”

She was too embarra.s.sed to say out loud about how she was always eliminated shortly after the compet.i.tion started each and every time.

The other members heard this and they came over with interest. They looked at the bag of prey beside Lu Yixin and raised their eyebrows in surprise. “Yixin managed to hit a lot of prey today. Don’t tell me it’s because of Qingjiu’s effort?”

Lu Yibin, too, walked over. Upon hearing Lu Yixin’s words, he gazed at Gu Qingjiu. After a moment of silence, he said, “Gu Qingjiu, do you yourself wish to take part?”

Although the Commander didn’t agree with the decision to let her take part, Gu Qingjiu followed her heart and nodded, “I wish to try. If it’s not possible, I’ll do as the Commander says.”

Lu Yimei furrowed her brows, though she didn’t appear displeased. “This is, after all, your first time taking part in the outdoor shooting activities. I’m afraid you…”

She was afraid that Gu Qingjiu would suffer a blow if Gu Qingjiu—who entered on the reputation of being a genius—got eliminated before she even managed to have any fun.

After all, one who was able to stand out from everyone else and enter the Shooting Department wasn’t someone to be trifled with.

As a newbie, it was inappropriate for Gu Qingjiu to take part in this.

“If she wishes to go, no harm letting her try once. In any case, Yixin only goes in to make up the numbers.”

As he said this, he even let out a chuckle.

The other members started laughing as well.

Lu Yixin blushed and stared at Lu Yibin with a mixture of embarra.s.sment and anger. “Fine, you’re the most capable!”

Her shooting skills were the lousiest among the three siblings.

But that was also because of the fact that she only had just entered. She was only in her second year after all.

It was why she could relate to Gu Qingjiu, who just entered.
