Wen Xin had perfect timing. When she reached the group, Jiang Linyan had just arrived at the front. Jiang Linyan didn’t even have a chance to trouble Wen Xin.
Jiang Linyan met Wen Xin’s provocative gaze. She was furious but didn’t know how to react.
She looked away from Wen Xin and glanced angrily at the other students. “You all look so lazy and lack spirit. Listen to my command. First task: a five-kilometer cross-country run…”
As soon as Jiang Linyan spoke, the surrounding students gasped. Wen Xin stood indifferently in her place, her head down, completely ignoring Jiang Linyan.
Jiang Linyan kept her eyes on Wen Xin. Seeing Wen Xin’s nonchalant attitude made her even angrier. “Start now. If you don’t finish within three hours…”
“Wait, Coach Jiang. I need to talk to Wen Xin. Also, your cross-country training isn’t allowed due to Beijing University’s safety regulations, which state that training with a risk factor that is too high is not allowed. Please follow the rules,” Ou Jinzhi interrupted.
He waved at Wen Xin, but she gave him a cold look, uninterested in his plans.
“Wen Xin, please come with me to the administration building. I have some questions for you.”
Ou Jinzhi felt helpless. He knew he had offended Wen Xin yesterday but didn’t realize she was so offended. The 26th Institute had already called this morning to complain.
Ou Jinzhi’s visit was expected, but Wen Xin didn’t think it would be so quick.
Wen Xin slowly walked out of the group and headed towards Ou Jinzhi.
“Wait, President Ou. As the coach, I have the right to set the training plan. Since you have changed Wen Xin’s training plan, I can require her to do extra training later,” Jiang Linyan insisted.
Jiang Linyan assumed Mu Chengxi wanted to protect Wen Xin and had sent Ou Jinzhi to take her away.
Ou Jinzhi, annoyed by Jiang Linyan’s troublemaking, stopped smiling and looked at her seriously. “Jiang Linyan, I agreed for you to be an instructor here. I expect you to do the job without personal grudges. If you can’t, you can leave now!”
“You… How can you…” Jiang Linyan was shocked by Ou Jinzhi’s bluntness. She angrily took off her hat and threw it on the ground.
She glared at Wen Xin. “Fine, I admit it. I’m not going to pretend anymore. My only goal here is to torture her!”
She pointed at Wen Xin, who remained calm. Wen Xinn smiled after a few seconds.
“Torture me? You think I care about your little tricks? If you want to play, let’s play seriously.”
“With your background, your shooting skills should be good, right? Let’s have a shooting match. Choose two events. If I lose, I’ll leave the training camp now, and you can pursue Mu Chengxi.”
“However, if you lose, you leave immediately and stop bothering Mu Chengxi. You’ll restrain yourself from those thoughts that you shouldn’t have. If you cause trouble again, don’t blame me for being rude!”
Wen Xin’s strong attitude surprised everyone. No one expected such a powerful aura from her.
Her classmates were amazed by Wen Xin. She could fight, knew medicine, and now wanted to play with guns. They felt she was too incredible to be their peer.
Wei Jiu, seeing Wen Xin’s confident demeanor, felt inferior. He knew a girl like her was out of his reach.
Wen Xin’s challenge put Jiang Linyan in her element. She had been around guns since childhood. Father Jiang had given Jiang Linyan some of the weapons in the base to play with, and many experts in the country were her father’s friends. She was confident in her shooting skills.
Jiang Linyan smiled smugly. “You’ll be packing your things soon!”
She was determined to win and wouldn’t give up on Mu Chengxi. She must snatch Mu Chengxi from Wen Xin’s hands. She believed she could beat Wen Xin.
“Go get ready. I’ll go with President Ou for now. We’ll play when I get back.”
Wen Xin turned gracefully and walked ahead of Ou Jinzhi, looking like a big boss instead of a freshman.
The students watched Wen Xin leave, thinking she looked incredibly cool.
For a moment, she seemed like someone from another world, making them feel small.
Mu Chengxi sat gloomily in the training base’s office. He knew about Wen Xin’s bet and couldn’t understand why she used him as a wager.
He believed Wen Xin wouldn’t lose but felt unsettled by her casual attitude. He was her man, not something to be given away.
When Wen Xin and Ou Jinzhi entered the office, they saw Mu Chengxi sitting on the sofa with a dark expression. He didn’t react to her arrival.
Wen Xin bent down and looked seriously into Mu Chengxi’s eyes. “What’s wrong? Who upset you?”
When he met Wen Xin’s dark and bright eyes, Mu Chengxi turned away, trying to stay composed. He was very angry and knew he needed to warn Wen Xin to prevent future incidents.
Seeing him turn away, Wen Xin raised an eyebrow, amused. “Are you mad because I used you as a wager?”
“Don’t be mad. I needed to provoke Jiang Linyan. You have no idea how excessive she was. She made our whole class run a five-kilometer cross-country race just to torture me.”
