Chapter 597: The Final Exams Are Coming

Gu Qian and Chu Lian weren’t the sorts to ask a lot of questions.

There was Qi Xiaoran, who frequently disappeared from their dormitory way more often than Gu Qingjiu.

Since the school didn’t punish them for it, they likely could sense something.

“Good that you’re back. Feng Yumeng came by to look for you while you weren’t around.”

Gu Qingjiu told her training would be canceled yesterday, but she didn’t inform her about her applying for leave today.

After some thought, she decided to go after changing her clothes. “I’ll train with her later. Nothing else’s going on in school, right?”

Chu Lian reminded her, “Nothing, but the exams are about to begin. Qingjiu, even if you’re confident, you have to make preparations.”

They weren’t just tested on what they learned in training in schools in the exams, but also textbook knowledge.

Since Gu Qingjiu specialized in Computer science, they would conduct her exams online this year.

Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel pressured in this area. But since Chu Lian reminded her out of kindness, she nodded her head. She then picked up her phone and rushed towards the combat room.

In the days that followed, Gu Qingjiu resumed her routine.

Other than the first mission, Gu Qingjiu hadn’t received any other tasks from Lu Ziyang.

It had been so long since that mission that Gu Qingjiu sometimes wholly forgot about her ident.i.ty as a member of the Ninth Department.

From Monday to Friday, she would train, and on the weekend, she would report at Elder Gong’s.

Only then did Gu Qingjiu find out that Yin Ruoyi already didn’t go over there often.

Elder Gong’s instruction method differed from ordinary shooting instructors.

He knew that Gu Qingjiu relied more on her astounding intuition and critical observation skills.

The principle he had been instilling in Gu Qingjiu throughout was that she had to comply with her talents.

Comply with her intuition.

And that she had to discard conventional standards when it came to training. Elder Gong said that that didn’t suit her.

It had only been a month, so perhaps she might not be able to sense anything. But sometimes, when Gu Qingjiu spoke with Elder Gong, she didn’t feel anything, but subsequently, she felt enlightened when she thought back.

She was becoming more and more impressed by this teacher as the days went by.

Elder Gong said that after Yin Ruoyi finished his international compet.i.tions, he would let Yin Ruoyi train with Gu Qingjiu. By then, her proper training would begin.

Gu Qingjiu very much looked forward to this ‘proper training.’

However, with her intensive training schedule, there was now less time for her to meet with He Niancheng.

Most of the time, she could only make a phone call with He Niancheng after her training ended.

He seemed to be busy with his matters as well, and he didn’t seem to be dawdling his time away after leaving the school.

However, every time he received Gu Qingjiu’s call, he spoke gently and patiently.

Sometimes even though the training was tough and tiring, but when she thought of He Niancheng…

It didn’t seem that difficult to endure anymore.

In the blink of an eye, it was now June.

The schoolwide compet.i.tion was also a point of a.s.sessment for the entire semester for the students.

Especially since this year, Yin Ruoyi from the National Defense University’s Shooting Department would be graduating. He would be competing in the international compet.i.tion in July, which made the end of this semester seem all the more bustling with activity.

Gu Qingjiu’s school first a.s.sessed students’ textbook knowledge before evaluating how much they had learned from their training. Hence, early this morning, she had to go to the cla.s.sroom to prepare for their specialization’s final examinations.

Gu Qian was more nervous than usual. Although her training results were very average, her textbook knowledge was quite terrible.

She had a natural phobia of exams.

She was crying and complaining early in the morning. “I thought I would be relieved of suffering in university. I shouldn’t have come to military school.”
