Chapter 225: Gun Practice, Dazzling Others (1)
Evening rolled around. Gu Qingjiu was about to sleep, but Qi Xiaoran still wasn’t back.
She thought that Qi Xiaoran went somewhere else and wouldn’t spend the night in their room.
But just when Gu Qingjiu was already sound asleep, she heard soft knocks on the door
‘Thud, thud, thud.’
Perhaps because it was already late in the night and their door was made out of metal, the knocks were soft as if the one knocking was afraid to disturb others.
Upon hearing it, Gu Qingjiu groggily crawled out of her bed to open the door.
It was simply three knocks.
Gu Qingjiu switched on the lights. When she opened the door, all she saw was Qi Xiaoran’s silhouette that was slowly moving away.
Probably realizing that the door was already open, Qi Xiaoran immediately turned and saw Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu’s eyes were still blurry. She rubbed at her neck. “I thought you weren’t coming back.”
Even though the military had a rule which didn’t allow soldiers to go out, Gu Qingjiu wouldn’t care about where Qi Xiaoran exactly went.
She went back into the room and Qi Xiaoran followed in from behind.
Gu Qingjiu didn’t see Qi Xiaoran’s shocked gaze as she stared at Gu Qingjiu’s back.
When Gu Qingjiu turned around, Qi Xiaoran had already regained her usual cold self and silently climbed into her bed.
Gu Qingjiu was not expecting Qi Xiaoran to express her gratitude or anything. So she switched off the light and went back to sleep.
But when she was about to fall into her slumber, it felt like she heard a soft voice say, “Thanks.”
And she seemed to have replied ‘you’re welcome’ to it.
…
Daybreak. It was Gu Qingjiu’s first time reporting at the advanced training camp.
She did not belong in the same class as Qi Xiaoran, and the girl had already disappeared early in the morning.
Qu Yingying had informed Gu Qingjiu of class five’s gathering details beforehand, so Gu Qingjiu went down right after she had washed up.
To the gathering location of class five.
When she arrived, the class had almost finished gathering.
All squads had their instructors in front of them, but with the exception of class five.
When she joined her class, everyone shot her a strange look.
It was only when class five’s representative drew close to her to ask what business Gu Qingjiu had that she got slotted within the crowd.
Without the instructor around, the class’s representative was in charge of its members’ training.
Their class representative was a guy with a huge figure, and he exuded an air of justice.
“Our new instructor has something today, so he will only attend to us later. We will continue from yesterday’s lesson, twenty-meter pistol training.”
Who would have thought that her first training would be the one she was anticipating for the most.
Guns!
Her eyes twinkled, causing her original cool expression to appear young and adorable.
And such action automatically caused male soldiers around her to stare at her.
Some of the female soldiers from her class looked at her with envy while others couldn’t be bothered.
With a call from the class’s representative, everyone marched towards the shooting range for pistol training.
It was a wide and empty open-air field and at that moment, only class five were present.
Gu Qingjiu could see several targets at the front of the field, but it was a little far…
They arrived at the place where the pistols were stored.
The guns used for training were all real, but the bullets were blanks.
It was only used for target practice and never for anything else.
Before practice, everyone had to check their own guns to prevent accidents from happening.
