Deliberate Provocation
Chu Qing sighed. “Even if I couldn’t handle it, I still had to train. My grandpa is really scary. He didn’t just train me, he even trained Hua Miaomiao, who lived next door. Hua Miaomiao, that sissy, learned some basic kungfu from my grandpa but his orchid fingers still stayed the same.”
As she said that, Chu Qing mimicked Hua Miaomiao’s actions.
Gu Youli laughed in a gloating manner because she had just seen Hua Miaomiao running over towards them.
However, the moment he heard Chu Qing’s words, his face sank.
Chu Qing had no idea that Hua Miaomiao was now standing directly behind her. When she saw Gu Youli laugh, she thought that she was laughing at her imitation skills.
Hence, she added, “It’s so disgusting. Say, he isn’t even embarrassed as a grown man lifting orchid fingers shouting ‘are you courting death’?”
Hua Miaomiao could not go on listening to her. He raised an arm and slapped the back of Chu Qing’s head hard, messing her hair up. “Are you courting death, you tomboy? You’re badmouthing me behind my back again.”
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment. Then, she rolled her eyes. “Weren’t you in military training? Why are you here?”
“I have graced you with my presence, not to look for you, of course!” Hua Miaomiao glared at Chu Qing and then quickly shifted his gaze to look at Gu Youli in concern.
He elbowed Chu Qing away and held Gu Youli’s hand affectionately as he asked her. “Lili, I heard that you went to the hospital yesterday. I was so worried. Are you alright?”
Gu Youli smiled. “Miaomiao, I’m alright. There’s nothing to worry about.”
Xiao Qi, who was standing on the side, seemed to find them too noisy and wanted to walk away.
Just at that moment, Chu Qing was angry at Hua Miaomiao for snatching her place. She reached out to pull Hua Miaomiao hard and at the same time, she accidentally elbowed Gu Youli.
Exhausted because of the military training, Gu Youli lost her balance and shuffled backward, bumping into Xiao Qi, who was just leaving.
She originally wanted to grab onto a branch to break her fall.
However, she suddenly recalled Yu Feibai’s mission.
She clenched her teeth and reached out for Xiao Qi, instead. Xiao Qi’s reaction was very quick and she dodged Gu Youli’s arm.
Gu Youli did not manage to grab anything and fell to the ground.
The first thing she felt as she went down, was that Yu Feibai’s eyes were so sharp.
This Xiao Qi wasn’t an ordinary person.
If Yu Feibai had not pointed it out to her, she would never have put so much thought into it.
Ever since the start of the military training, there were cameras placed all over the field. The area they were presently at, was not a blind spot so everything should have been recorded.
Chu Qing might be capable but what would happen if she was unable to defeat Xiao Qi?
Now that she fell, it could be considered that Xiao Qi’s identity was exposed and she would not need to think of a way to make Chu Qing and Xiao Qi fight.
However, things did not progress as Gu Youli expected.
Hua Miaomiao rushed over with concern and helped Gu Youli up while Chu Qing rushed angrily towards Xiao Qi and screamed loudly at her. “Hey, Xiao Qi, how can you be like this? You saw that Youli was about to fall. Instead of giving her a hand, you actually moved away!”
Xiao Qi and Chu Qing had never gotten along in the past.
Now that Chu Qing had screamed at her like that, Xiao Qi’s face became darker. “She reached out to grab me so suddenly. If I didn’t dodge, she would have pulled me to the ground with her!”
