Chapter 576: Setting Off for the Meeting
But this was considered a joyous matter. f(r)eewebn(o)vel.com
After a discussion, they decided to head out to have a meal on Sunday.
Gu Qingjiu came back and retrieved her stuff, then left for the combat training hall.
She had to train with Feng Yumeng tonight.
When she reached, Feng Yumeng was already there.
In a military singlet, she immediately jumped to her feet at the sight of Gu Qingjiu. “Qingjiu, you’re here!”
Gu Qingjiu nodded with a smile. “You’re here early today.”
Feng Yumeng chuckled. “Surely I can’t arrive later than you every single time.”
She was here to receive training, so she couldn’t appear too lax about it.
“Sure.”
Gu Qingjiu got down to business right away. “We’ll train as usual today. The instructor taught some new points today. Let’s give it a try. And then we’ll do combat.”
Feng Yumeng nodded in agreement. “Sure!”
Now that Feng Yumeng had gradually grown used to training, her combat capabilities had enhanced.
In the past, she would always be solely taking beatings from Gu Qingjiu. But now, at least, she could counter Qingjiu for some time.
However, in Gu Qingjiu’s eyes, Feng Yumeng was making more and more slips.
She felt that Feng Yumeng’s speed didn’t improve and instead was slowing down.
Only when she saw that others made her feel the same did she realize that she became faster.
Those who practice shooting had a certain degree of control over speed.
Now that Gu Qingjiu’s speed improved, not only was it shown in her shooting, all other areas also showed the same result.
She was getting more and more skilled at combat.
Since in Gu Qingjiu’s eyes, others’ speeds had slowed down, how could her opponents block off her attacks or manage to attack her?
Since there weren’t any competitions lately, nobody else seemed to have noticed this change in her other than the instructor,
When she trained with Feng Yumeng, she had to control herself to cut the latter some slack.
Not too much, though. If Feng Yumeng could get used to sparring with her this way, she felt that Feng Yumeng would more or less be able to fend off other people’s attacks.
It was May already.
This semester’s end would be in another month’s time, and then it was the final examination and final competition.
When the time came, Feng Yumeng’s results would count towards Gu Qingjiu’s group scores.
Gu Qingjiu naturally paid attention to this matter.
The duo continued training until night, then returned to the girls’ dormitory together.
Gu Qingjiu entered the bathroom to take a shower to wash away the fatigue of the day.
She didn’t contact He Niancheng, and neither did he call her.
She had no idea what He Niancheng was doing.
It had only been a day since she saw him, yet the longing she felt for him had deeply seeped into her bones.
When she came out of the shower, Gu Qingjiu saw a message notification on her phone.
Tapping it open, she saw the contents of the message.
‘Goodnight.’
Seeing this, Gu Qingjiu felt her chest brimming with warmth.
She tapped on the screen and texted him back the same thing.
Then she climbed onto the bed to sleep.
The next day when she woke up, Gu Qingjiu remembered that she had a mission at night.
Thus, last night she told Feng Yumeng that they wouldn’t be training together.
Although Lu Ziyang said to meet at nine p.m., she couldn’t be certain what time they would reach that venue he mentioned.
Gu Qingjiu applied for leave from the Commanding Officer in advance, saying she had to head out.
The Commanding Officer approved of it very quickly.
Gu Qingjiu realized that whenever she applied for leave, there wasn’t an instance that the school never approved of it before. She wondered if it was because of her identity.
