Chapter 433: Was… She Crying?

Gu Qingjiu, who was faraway training at the Shooting Department, s.h.i.+vered for some reason.

Following that, she then said with a smile, “Commander Lu, how can you take a joke like this seriously?”

“Of course you won’t take it seriously since you don’t even know him yet. But who knows…”

“I have a boyfriend.”

Seeing as Lu Yimei was keen on continuing this topic, Gu Qingjiu ended it with this revelation.

Lu Yimei instantly raised a brow and gazed meaningfully at Gu Qingjiu. “Ah, I see. I was just thinking…”

She then asked with a smile, “Is your boyfriend from this school as well?”

Gu Qingjiu nodded. However, she didn’t say more.

Seeing that she wasn’t willing to divulge more information, Lu Yimei wisely stopped asking.

“Continue with your practice then, I’ll get going first.”

Lu Yimei left after speaking with Gu Qingjiu and didn’t bother her anymore.

In the vast shooting range, Gu Qingjiu was the only one practicing.

Compared with the fifty-meter target, the hundred-meter target was a little harder.

Gu Qingjiu’s aim was worse than when she was training with the fifty-meter target.

However, she had never entirely missed the target, not even once.

After training for an entire afternoon, Gu Qingjiu felt that training with a hundred-meter target was much more beneficial to her. Hence, she decided to continue training with the hundred-meter target.

She continued training until about 6:30 in the evening, then packed up and went to the canteen for dinner.

After dinner, Gu Qingjiu returned to the dormitory.

She originally wanted to go look for the Chief Instructor. But it had just been a day since they parted, so Gu Qingjiu felt that she might seem too clingy if she went to look for him now.

Hence, she returned to the dormitory first. Even while she was showering, she was still hesitating.

After she came out from the shower, she saw Chu Lian and Gu Qian discussing the latest branded goods.

Gu Qingjiu suddenly felt that they didn’t have anything in common.

She gazed at the upper bunk above her bed and saw that Qi Xiaoran was also in the dormitory, which was pretty rare.

She was lying on her belly. No idea if she was asleep or what.

“Qingjiu, we’re going out for a moment. Do you want to go out for a stroll with us?”

Gu Qian and Chu Lian, who were about to head out, called out to Gu Qingjiu.

Gu Qingjiu shook her head. “You guys go ahead. I need to do some revision.”

“Aiyoh, you’re so smart and yet you need to revise? What are lousy students like us to do?

Gu Qian sighed pretentiously, making Gu Qingjiu let out a chuckle.

After the duo left, only Gu Qingjiu and Qi Xiaoran were left in the dormitory.

Gu Qingjiu opened her laptop and started revising her work over the past week.

“Oh!”

Suddenly, Gu Qingjiu heard Qi Xiaoran vomiting from above.

Next, she looked up and saw Qi Xiaoran covering her mouth with her hand and running towards the toilet.

She heard Qi Xiaoran puking in the toilet.

Gu Qingjiu paused for a moment. But then she got up and asked, “Xiaoran, are you not feeling well?”

After Qi Xiaoran came back, she didn’t seem unwell. Why was she vomiting now?

“No.”

Qi Xiaoran gagged first and then replied to Gu Qingjiu.

When she came out of the toilet, her face looked rather pale.

Even though it wasn’t obvious from her complexion, it was clear from her pale lips that Qi Xiaoran was feeling unwell.

Gu Qingjiu furrowed her brows. She probed, “Haven’t you recovered from your fever from last time?”

“No, I just feel a little psychologically unwell.”

Qi Xiaoran shook her head, then crawled back to her bed and continued lying face-down.

Only then did Gu Qingjiu realize that when Qi Xiaoran walked past her, there seemed to be tear streaks at the corners of her eyes.

Was… she crying?
