Chapter 555: Wait For Me, I’ll Be Back Very Quickly
“Mm…”
Lu Yibin felt a stuffy sensation in his heart.
If it were Gu Qingjiu in the past, she might have chatted more with him.
But the Gu Qingjiu in front of him seemed increasingly adept at handling other people.
Or rather, it should be said that she was sealing her heart even more deeply now.
“My older sister and I are about to graduate and would have work allocations. We’ve already planned for you to take over as the Commander next year.”
“Me?”
Gu Qingjiu was astonished. “Why? I’m not qualified.”
“The position of the Commander is allocated according to one’s capabilities. Instructor Xiong talked about this a long time ago. If you become a Commander, it will convince everyone. No one will oppose this.”
Lu Yibin said with a smile, “You don’t have to worry. You are capable.”
After saying that, he stuck out a hand, as though he wanted to stroke Gu Qingjiu’s head.
However, Gu Qingjiu subtly dodged from it. “But this is too sudden. I think Instructor Xiong and Commander Yimei should give this more thought.”
Lu Yibin’s hand froze mid-air, then lowered it dejectedly.
“But it’s not so easy to change something that has already been decided upon.”
After saying this, he didn’t wait for Gu Qingjiu to respond.
He simply turned around and left.
Gu Qingjiu watched his back view as he left, yet there weren’t any emotions in her eyes.
After a long while she lowered her head, but nobody knew what she was thinking.
Lu Yimei, who had been watching this scene through the surveillance cameras, let out a silent sigh.
It seems like this younger brother of hers didn’t stand a chance!
…
Early the next morning, the neatly dressed Gu Qingjiu waited for Lu Yimei at the school entrance.
This time, only Lu Yimei was going with her. But after getting into the vehicle, Gu Qingjiu realized that Instructor Xiong was also going with them.
She immediately saluted at him. “Hello, Instructor Xiong!”
Xiong Xuejian smiled at her affably. “Hello, Qingjiu.”
Ever since what happened with her and He Niancheng, other than during classes, Xiong Xuejian hadn’t interacted with Gu Qingjiu in private.
He heard that this child was very diligent lately, and even the higher-ups were paying attention to her condition, afraid that something would happen to this rare genius they finally came across.
Even the school hadn’t expected the military side to give an order regarding this matter.
Hence, there was nothing the school could do about it.
However, now, Xiong Xuejian naturally wouldn’t mention a word in front of Gu Qingjiu.
“Since we’re going to see Yin Ruoyi’s teacher, who is a highly respected senior in the shooting world, I’m personally bringing you to see him.”
Xiong Xuejian’s words stirred up Gu Qingjiu’s curiosity. “Instructor Xiong, can you tell me more about this senior before I meet him?”
“You’ll find out after you see him.”
Xiong Xuejian, however, left her in suspense.
Yin Ruoyi’s teacher wasn’t addressed using military positions and instead was called a senior.
It seems like he was indeed a highly respected individual.
Other than Sheng Ming, whom Lu Yimei mentioned was unbeatable at international competitions, the person whom Gu Qingjiu had heard mentioned the most was this senior and Yin Ruoyi.
She heard little about other famous characters in the shooting world.
Because of this, it felt like there weren’t that many players in the shooting world.
As the engine started, Gu Qingjiu felt a bump together with the car.
Gradually, she drifted into a slumber.
As she was in a dazed state during her sleep, she suddenly started dreaming.
In her dream, she seemed to hear that deep and gentle voice whispering in her ears once more—
“Wait for me. I’ll be back very quickly.”
