Never mind what Gu Qingjiu was thinking, but she felt that the Chief Instructor and Commander Huo were acting weird.

After He Niancheng had asked Gu Qingjiu for her opinion, he raised his chin and said, “There’s nothing else. You may go back.”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

Huo Yingcheng appeared a little embarra.s.sed next to him. He could very well say his Major-General went crazy or something.

Even though she knew she was facing her superior, Gu Qingjiu couldn’t keep something bottled up inside. After a momentary silence, she directly asked, “Did Chief Instructor asked me to come here just to ask this question?”

He Niancheng didn’t deny it. “Yes.”

He replied simply.

Gu Qingjiu felt that they were purely teasing her out of boredom.

Although she was muttering in her heart, she still returned to the compet.i.tion venue.

After Gu Qingjiu had left, He Niancheng quickly lamented to He Niancheng. “Major-General, I’ve said before that I have no interest in her, yet you made her come here and asked her that. Are you deliberately trying to stir trouble? Where should I hide my face now!”

The important thing was, Gu Qingjiu straightforwardly said that she didn’t like him.

He was, after all, a das.h.i.+ng and fine young man, so he inevitably felt hurt inside.

He Niancheng didn’t seem to care about how hurt Huo Yingcheng felt. He merely curled his lips, a slightly mocking look imbued in his eyes. “Too bad, she doesn’t like you. Seems like you’re not charming enough.”

Huo Yingcheng was speechless.

‘How am I supposed to appear charming before you?!’

Huo Yingcheng wanted to retort, but he restrained himself.

After Gu Qingjiu returned to the large field, she saw that the compet.i.tion between her team and the neighboring team had already started.

Yu Bao’er was up for the first round.

Seeing this, Gu Qingjiu quickly jogged over.

Yu Bao’er and the girl she was competing against didn’t know each other. After a friendly greeting, under the instructor’s command, their duel officially started.

It had only been a while since they started learning; hence, it was inevitable for them to appear inexperienced.

Yu Bao’er and her opponent’s moves weren’t very well-trained, but perhaps because Yu Bao’er had an innate advantage, she won the first round.

The instant Yu Bao’er won, the Third Company Seventh Squad cheered out loud.

Gu Qingjiu clapped for her, too.

There was a joyful smile on Yu Bao’er’s face after she won.

Having won the first round and helping her team have a good start, she naturally felt pleased with herself.

Chen Haoyang clapped for Yu Bao’er, too. And that was a rare sight to see.

After all, Chen Haoyang had always thought of Yu Bao’er as being a troublesome person.

She had gotten into a fight with her dorm mates shortly after entering the troops. Hence, she was anything but a troublesome person.

But now that she had won and gained glory for her team, she deserved a compliment.

“Qingjiu, Qingjiu, I won!”

Yu Bao’er searched among the crowd and finally saw Gu Qingjiu.

Beaming like a child, there was joy written all over her face as she bounced towards Gu Qingjiu.

“I won! But I saw you leaving before the compet.i.tion even started. Where did you go?”

There was a doubtful look on Yu Bao’er’s face.

Because when the compet.i.tion was about to start, Yu Bao’er had looked around for Gu Qingjiu.

But she could not see her around.

She was then informed that someone summoned for Gu Qingjiu’s presence. Since she was back, Yu Bao’er asked about what it was.
