A beautiful scenario conjured in Gu Qingjiu’s heart as she listened to Lu Yixin’s description.
International?
She hoped that she would be able to take part in international competitions in the future as well.
She desired to stand at a higher position.
“I feel that you can do it, too.” Lu Yixin, who seemed to have noticed the desire on Gu Qingjiu’s face, patted her on her shoulders.
“Even Instructor Xiong sang such high praises of you. I feel that you will certainly become a top-notch sharpshooter in the future.”
“I won’t dare to imagine that. I’d better focus on my learning for now.”
She smiled modestly. Even though she wished for that in her heart, she had to work towards that step by step, instead of fantasizing about the high position she wanted to achieve in the future.
“Haha, you’re being too modest!”
Lu Yixin laughed out loud.
With someone chatting with her and explaining things to her all throughout the journey, time passed very quickly.
Since they had set off in the afternoon, by the time they reached the fringe area of the capital, it was already night time. However, as it was already dark, they had to rest there for a while.
“The National Defense University is located relatively near the area, so they will come over early in the morning tomorrow. Since it’s more troublesome for us, we had to come over earlier to rest first. The school pays all the accommodation expenses.”
Lu Yixin explained all these to Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu more or less understood the situation by then.
They went up the stairs, carrying all sorts of stuff with them.
The rooms were booked in advance and even the staff at the front desk recognized them.
Lu Yibin walked over and handed a room card to Lu Yixin. “Yours and Qingjiu’s room is located on the seventh level. We’ll be on the fifth level, so if something crops up just call me.”
“Alright. Surely we will not get lost here?”
Lu Yixin pouted as she took the room card from him, before happily leading Gu Qingjiu upstairs.
But at the same time, Gu Qingjiu suddenly felt a light flashing at her!
She instantly turned her face over and saw a man in a T-shirt in the lobby raising a camera and taking photos of her.
This lobby was in front of the front desk, and at that moment there weren’t many people around. When Gu Qingjiu turned around, Lu Yixin also noticed it. She instantly called out to that man. “You’re taking photos of us?”
That man, who was wearing glasses, seemed like a decent and civilized person. But upon hearing Lu Yixin’s words, he shifted the camera away from his eyes, and he said, “So what if I’m taking a photo of her? I’m only taking a photo of her because she looks pretty.”
His words made Gu Qingjiu frown in irritation. “Delete it! What right do you have to take photos of me without my permission?”
“Don’t be like that. You’re so good looking, it’d be a waste not to take more photos.”
As the bespectacled man spoke, he raised his camera again without showing a tinge of remorse. He actually wanted to take more photos of her!
Just then, Lu Yibin came forward and blocked his camera with his hands. “Sir, we’re students from the military school. Our school has rules that our photos cannot be publicized. Please try to understand and delete the photos.”
It wasn’t that their photos couldn’t appear in public. But it was inappropriate because they were currently wearing military uniforms.
Lu Yibin spoke in a very polite manner, in a tone that one couldn’t find any fault with.
But that bespectacled man refused to cooperate. He raised his camera and retreated several steps to avoid Lu Yibin. “Why? Is it illegal for a civilian to take photos these days?”
It was evident he was trying to be difficult.
Gu Qingjiu walked up to that man and, with a cold gaze, shouted loudly at him, “Delete it!”
