Chapter 435: If She Wasn’t the Last Place, Who Would Be
“Then Young Master, please let me know if there’s anything else.”
“Joker.”
He Niancheng called lightly.
Joker on the other end of the phone immediately straightened his back.
Young Master’s tone was a little dangerous.
He wondered which unlucky fellow would suffer again.
“Go to the Qin family and settle Qin Huai.”
“Qin Huai?”
Although Joker had no idea who Qin Huai was, he still had to find out and complete the task.
He answered, “I understand, Young Master. I will do it now and complete the task satisfactorily.”
“Mm.”
After hanging up the call, He Niancheng’s furrowed brows finally relaxed a little.
Although he wouldn’t help Gu Qingjiu to settle with the Yu family, he would deal with these random stray problems.
To dare bully his people, they were simply seeking for their deaths.
…
Monday. Training as usual.
It was the day for the dueling segment for their physical combat lesson.
Feng Yumeng sat with Gu Qingjiu.
The previous week, the instructor had mentioned that he would let Feng Yumeng and Gu Qingjiu participate in actual combat, so Feng Yumeng felt utterly perturbed.
She swallowed. Looking at the fearsome battlefield, she lowered her voice and whispered to Gu Qingjiu, “Gu Qingjiu, I’ve already followed your advice and went back to practice, but I couldn’t even defeat my weakest dorm mate…”
“…”
Gu Qingjiu didn’t know how she should reply to that.
She simply comforted, “Don’t worry. It will be fine as long as you try your best. Different people have different things which they are good at. There’s no need to force it.”
Feng Yumeng shyly fiddled with her sleeves. “But I will drag you down and that would affect your score as well.”
“It’s okay. My shooting practice can pull my grades up, so you don’t have to worry.”
She was already practicing on hundred-meter moving targets, while their class lessons were still focused on hundred-meter stationary targets.
That way, the entire class’s shooting results were incomparable to Gu Qingjiu’s.
She naturally didn’t have to worry about it.
But Feng Yumeng still felt sorry.
This was only Gu Qingjiu. If it was any other person, they would not be able to carry Feng Yumeng.
Feng Yumeng’s classmates were all teasing her about how she was hugging someone’s thigh to victory.
But knowing that she was indeed dragging Gu Qingjiu down still didn’t feel good inside.
The more pressure she felt, the worse she would perform.
Her combat skills were originally poor. If she couldn’t even do the basics, it would be disastrous.
“Don’t be afraid.”
Gu Qingjiu had repeated this statement so many times that she didn’t want to anymore.
Feng Yumeng pressed on some pressure upon herself, so there was no way Gu Qingjiu could alleviate it for her.
The instructor called for the students in the class to prepare.
“Today’s lesson will be free form combat. There will be no differentiation between offense and defense. As per our previous lessons, you shall duel. The first group please prepare.”
The moment Feng Yumeng processed the instructor’s words, she tugged uneasily at Gu Qingjiu’s sleeves. “It’s starting…”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
Within just a week, she almost had a complete grasp of Feng Yumeng’s character.
She came from a rural background which explains why she had the courage of a sparrow – the sort of girl who was pampered by her family.
Because of her timid personality, her family sent her to train at the military school. However, actual combat was her death trap.
She was afraid of being hit by people.
And even without much strength, some of those hits would definitely end up on her.
Feng Yumeng was afraid of that.
When she first started practicing fighting, she would shrill when people hit her.
If she wasn’t the last place, who would be?
