Chapter 470: Lighter

“It’s just a simple compet.i.tion.”

Lying in He Niancheng’s arms, Gu Qingjiu’s face was slightly red.

He Niancheng’s fingers glided on Gu Qingjiu’s arm, a deepness surfacing in his cold eyes. “Are you confident about this afternoon’s combat compet.i.tion?”

Gu Qingjiu shook her head. “Not quite.”

It felt hard enough to get into the top thirty in her specialization.

As for how far she could go, Gu Qingjiu wasn’t sure of it.

“Just try your best and don’t feel any pressure.”

It was rare to hear He Niancheng say such heartwarming words.

Gu Qingjiu nodded. “I know.”

Just then, a man’s voice and footsteps rang from the staircase.

Gu Qingjiu froze.

He Niancheng, who could sense Gu Qingjiu’s body stiffen, instantly let out a burst of low laughter.

He didn’t at all appear fl.u.s.tered.

“Chief Instructor, let go of me. I should get going.”

Gu Qingjiu struggled with all her might and once He Niancheng slightly loosened his grip, Gu Qingjiu jumped away from his arms like a rabbit.

She wanted to run towards the entrance, but unexpectedly, those people were heading towards He Niancheng’s office.

Gu Qingjiu panicked and immediately ran to He Niancheng’s desk and hid under it.

Although she was well-hidden, He Niancheng was sitting at the chair right above.

He looked at her with a hint of a teasing smile. Annoyed, Gu Qingjiu waved a hand at him, indicating for the Chief Instructor to stop looking at her.

Just then, those people entered He Niancheng’s office.

“Chief Instructor He, the combat compet.i.tion is about to commence soon. Aren’t you going over to watch?”

The person who entered had a cheerful male voice, and he had no idea that hidden underneath the desk of this unsmiling living Satan, was a female student.

His voice made Gu Qingjiu’s scalp turn numb.

If they discovered her, she imagined she would become famous throughout the military school in another way.

Instructor and student… having a rendezvous in his office.

It was something that could make it to news headlines.

He Niancheng merely nodded calmly and the other party couldn’t tell that something was amiss. However, his att.i.tude wasn’t as gentle as when he was with her.

He got up and said, “Came up to retrieve some doc.u.ments. Let’s go down now.”

“Let’s go. The compet.i.tion this year is fascinating. There’s someone called Gu Qingjiu in our Shooting Department, and in combat, we have a Qi Xiaoran. Chief Instructor He, you’re a blessing to our school! These two students were transferred from the Dayi City military zone with you.”

This man treated He Niancheng in a submissive and respectful manner, as though he couldn’t wait to a.s.sociate all the good things with He Niancheng.

The mention of her name made Gu Qingjiu subconsciously bite her finger.

Just then, seeing the Chief Instructor s.h.i.+ft his long legs away from the desk, relief washed over her.

“That’s because they’re capable. It has nothing to do with me.”

He Niancheng’s voice had an obvious aloofness to it, making the other party feel awkward.

“Ah yes… yes…”

The man sounded embarra.s.sed.

But just then, just as Gu Qingjiu thought they were going to leave, she suddenly saw the leggy man walk back. He appeared to be retrieving something, but with his other hand, he tossed something to Gu Qingjiu.

Caught off guard, Gu Qingjiu grabbed it. Focusing her gaze, she saw that it was a silver lighter.
