“Senior?”
Gu Qingjiu froze. Next to her, Lu Yixin spoke on her behalf. “She’s not your senior. Qingjiu is a newbie like you.”
“I meant, did Classmate Gu receive shooting training before this?”
Yan Hanqi asked cautiously.
Gu Qingjiu and Lu Yixin instantly realized that she was here to sound them out.
Gu Qingjiu shook her head and revealed a faint smile. “No, I trained for a month in the troops before I was transferred to the university. I’ve had three months of shooting practice ever since.”
“Then you’re a true newbie like me, Classmate Gu.”
Yan Yanqi smiled, revealing the standard eight teeth.
“Yeah, you’re both newbies. I’m the only old bird here.”
Lu Yixin, too, revealed a toothy grin.
Just then, Lu Yimei came out in casual shorts as she wiped her short hair with a towel.
With her hair wet, she gave off the dashing vibe of a male under the lighting. Heart shapes formed in Lu Yixin’s eyes. “Sister, you’re so handsome!”
Lu Yimei stuck out her long leg, assuming a posture of kicking her younger sister. “Hurry off to shower. Which one of you goes first?”
“We’ll let Hanqi go first,”
Lu Yixin said.
Lu Yimei glanced at Yan Hanqi and nodded. “Sure.”
Yan Hanqi, however, waved a hand and said, “I’m fine showering last. You don’t have to give in to me, seniors.”
She indeed seemed to behave politely like a Japanese, and even the way she addressed them sounded respectful.
“No, no, no. We like to give in to newbies. Go.”
With the air of a commander, Lu Yimei curled her lips at Han Hanqi as she said that to her.
Yan Hanqi had no choice but to nod and bring her pajamas to the shower.
When she left, she bowed again. “Thank you, seniors.”
After she went in, Lu Yimei held a hand to her forehead. “In all these years of my existence, this is the first time someone bowed so low to me.”
“Hahahaha, she has Japanese blood running in her veins. From the plenty of Japanese dramas I’ve watched, I’m under the impression that all Japanese act like this.”
Lu Yixin grinned throughout. Lu Yimei sat down on the bed opposite her and looked towards Gu Qingjiu. “Did she say anything while she was here?”
“No, she merely asked about Qingjiu. I covered things up.”
“Covered things up? There’s no need for this. Although we don’t know much about this newbie, I know Pan Shiyuan very well. He never fights a battle he isn’t confident of. Try your best to follow this Yan Hanqi around when she hunts tomorrow. See what her capabilities are like.”
Lu Yimei analyzed this matter, then looked towards Gu Qingjiu. “Qingjiu, are you confident about tomorrow’s competition?”
“Mm?”
The surprised Gu Qingjiu was about to nod when she heard Lu Yixin’s mocking voice. “Sister, if Qingjiu doesn’t feel confident, who else dares to feel so?”
“I’m not referring to this.”
Lu Yimei cast a disgruntled glance at Lu Yixin. “You are silly.”
Lu Yixin was speechless. “…”
“What I meant was, don’t produce too absurd a result this time around, Qingjiu. I’m guessing the two military schools are here because they’ve heard the news. It’s one thing for us to produce a sharpshooter that can win glory for our country, but what these military schools place importance on are local competitions such as this. Now that a strong opponent already appeared, they must be eager to test your capabilities.”
After all, there were only a few spots for those international competitions. Most of those in China’s military schools didn’t even have a remote chance of claiming those spots.
Naturally, what they focused more on were their school’s reputation and glory.
“But Commander Lu, I don’t have control over this.”
Gu Qingjiu’s eyes narrowed in crescents as she smiled, making her exquisite face appear as delicate and gorgeous as a peach blossom petal.
