In her heart, Lin Xiaoyu’s dissatisfaction with Guo Rou had risen to a whole new level. It was all her fault for asking her!
She looked up and saw her brother smiling at her on the opposite side.
Thereafter, he nodded to her.
The caring glance was similar to the ones he had given her when she was young. His eyes conveyed acceptance. Her brother was actually encouraging her to participate.
Furthermore, her elder brother should have expected this exact situation long ago. Her participation this time must have been taken into account then.
Even if Lin Xiaoyu managed to win one round, Lin Haoran was confident his team would still win.
How confident were they?
Soon, it dawned on Lin Xiaoyu that she still had to remain at the Logistics Department for over half a year. Hence, she shouldn’t offend everyone with this incident.
Besides, even if she and Guo Rou won their respective matches, that would only amount to two wins.
Wouldn’t her brother still end up as the winner?
With this thought, Lin Xiaoyu didn’t feel torn up anymore. She looked up and said, “I’ll join.”
Lu Ye smiled. Regardless of what Lin Xiaoyu thought or what Lin Haoran was scheming, he knew everything about their calculations.
Lin Haoran was certain that they could only win two rounds.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, Gu Yan, who had been unnoticeable, pursed her lips.
‘Lin Haoran, aren’t you always so calculated?’
‘Mhm, since Bai Weiyang hasn’t appeared yet, I’ll begin slapping your face first!’
Soon, both sides were ready, and the competition began.
The Logistics Department was quite nervous while the Medical Department was smiling with pride.
The difference in morale on the two sides was very apparent.
Shen Jiayi was concerned too. She stood next to Gu Yan and said, “We should’ve not agreed to the challenge. We have the right to reject the competition! If we lose…”
If they rejected it, then at most, the other party would only think they were scared.
But if they lost, it would be worse…
Gu Yan’s eyes shone brightly as she smiled with confidence.
“Who said we were definitely going to lose?”
Shen Jiayi was taken aback.
During this time, the competition had already started. When the Medical Department saw that Guo Rou was the first one to compete, they immediately chose the weakest shooter out of the five.
Lu Ye crossed his arms and looked at Lin Haoran. “You’re copying Tian Ji?”
Lin Haoran’s smile was still gentleman-like.
After the first round, Guo Rou’s scores were 9, 9, 10.
The female soldier from the Medical Department managed to achieve 7, 8, 8.
This score was considered good enough for new female recruits. It was just that Guo Rou’s capabilities were too good. Her shooting will secure her a position in the special forces in the future.
In the second round, Lin Xiaoyu went up. The Medical Department also sent a not-too-good soldier.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three shots later, the results came out.
Lin Xiaoyu scored 8, 8, 9.
The female soldier from the Medical Department ended up with 7, 8, 9.
Lin Xiaoyu barely won with a one-point lead.
After winning twice in a row, the Logistics Department rejoiced. Nevertheless, the Medical Department wasn’t worried at all. Their contemptuous smile deepened.
As expected, the Logistics Department soon lost the third and fourth round. The loss was rather substantial. The score was lower than six.
Most significantly, one of the shots even missed entirely!
Lin Haoran looked at Lu Ye and smiled while casually saying, “Lu Ye, I heard that you insisted on becoming the instructor for Logistics Department for a female soldier?”
