A present for her?
Ripples of emotions formed in Gu Qingjiu’s heart.
This was Chief Instructor’s first present for her. But why a lighter?
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t understand the meaning behind this.
Hence, she sent a text message to the Chief Instructor to ask.
[ Chief Instructor, why did you give me a lighter? ]
[ Do I need a reason to give you a present? ]
His response made Gu Qingjiu speechless. While he didn’t need a reason to give her a present, giving her a lighter was somewhat absurd. She wasn’t a smoker, and she wouldn’t need to light a fire regularly. What was the use of this lighter?
But from the looks of it, this lighter had a special meaning to the Chief Instructor.
Gu Qingjiu felt that the Chief Instructor wasn’t the sort of person who would give someone a present for no reason.
So, she better keep this lighter properly.
After all, this was the Chief Instructor’s first present for her. It would at least serve as memorabilia.
With this thought, Gu Qingjiu kept the present away, then replied.
[ Chief Instructor, I’m going to bed now. You should rest early too, goodnight. ]
[ Goodnight and have a good rest, you still have to compete tomorrow. ]
After seeing the Chief Instructor’s reply, Gu Qingjiu’s lips curled in a smile. She had developed a habit now, and that was she could only peacefully go to sleep after seeing the Chief Instructor’s reply. No idea if this was the case for all lovers in the stage where they were passionately in love, but she felt more and more melodramatic.
She slapped her face then secretly sneaked a glance at the other people in the dormitory.
It was still some time away from lights out, but Gu Qingjiu already felt like sleeping.
She looked at the others, then went to sleep.
…
Early the next morning, the second round for the fifty-meter target started.
Such a competition didn’t pose a challenge at all to the present Gu Qingjiu.
Hence, she used the quickest response speed, as usual, and hit the bullseye for three consecutive shots.
She won first place with a perfect score once again.
Everyone saw this coming, so no one was surprised.
After the quarter-finals ended, it was time for the combat competition in the afternoon.
This time, Gu Qingjiu finally met a tricky opponent.
She lost when faced against a guy.
She could sense that her response speed wasn’t slower than her opponent, but she seemed to have lost due to… experience.
She wasn’t as skilled as the other party in terms of moves, and he also didn’t seem like he was a beginner in combat.
Naturally, Gu Qingjiu wasn’t a match for him.
Despite losing in the combat competition, Gu Qingjiu didn’t feel dejected.
It was okay so long as she did well in the finals in the shooting competition.
If she won the finals, Gu Qingjiu would obtain three military points.
This was a great advantage to a first-year student.
Gu Qian and the rest were quite disappointed to see her be defeated in the combat competition, but Gu Qingjiu seemed to be making it easier than them.
As for Qi Xiaoran, just like rumors had it, Qi Xiaoran defeated every single opponent that came her way and smoothly made it into the finals.
In their dormitory, one made it to the combat finals, and one made it into the shooting finals.
Moreover, they were hot contenders for first place. This caused their dormitory to suddenly shoot to fame in the entire university.
Although Gu Qian and Chu Lian were simply observers, they felt glad for Gu Qingjiu and Qi Xiaoran nonetheless.
