The current Gu Qingjiu had become a legend in their school.
In any case, her results in shooting class were mind-blowingly incredible, and they already regarded her as the second Yin Ruoyi.
This July’s international competition would be Gu Qingjiu’s first battle on the international battlefield, and many held high expectations of her.
Upon hearing Gu Qian’s words, Gu Qingjiu nodded and smiled. “Mm, I will.”
She and Yin Ruoyi could cooperate seamlessly now.
Although chemistry didn’t give one advantage during the international competition, if the opportunity arose for them to make a joint attack, they hoped to obtain victory.
Moreover, before this year’s competition started, Cruff only heard that China would send a newbie this year again. And since this would be his final match before retirement, he had long spoken boldly that regardless of what kind of person China sent out, they could only be his stepping stone in this battle in which they would crown him a deity.
Hence, China felt immense pressure facing Cruff’s provocation.
To Gu Qingjiu, she couldn’t fail in this battle.
Thankfully, she didn’t feel that tremendous psychological stress yet.
“Since we graduated today, let’s not talk about other matters. Come, let’s eat and drink well.”
Chu Lian spoke up once more, and everyone raised their cups together and then started chatting about another gossip.
The topics of conversation between girls were only those few types, and very quickly, they came to the issue of relationships.
Chu Lian and Gu Qian were aware that Gu Qingjiu and Helian Niancheng were still dating, for she frequently chatted on the phone with him in their dormitory.
But very quickly, they asked Qi Xiaoran about her relationship. “Xiaoran, speaking of which, why have we never seen you looking for a boyfriend these few years?”
Gu Qian, with her face flushed from drinking, suddenly asked her this. Qi Xiaoran and Gu Qingjiu froze in surprise.
Gu Qingjiu cast two glances at Qi Xiaoran, who pursed her thin lips, then shook her head and said, “I don’t have an interest in that for the time being.”
The relationship between her and her older brother was, after all, a secret that only Gu Qingjiu knew.
From the way it seemed, Gu Qingjiu also knew that Qi Xiaoran wouldn’t possibly find another boyfriend. Hence, Qi Xiaoran had always appeared like she was single all along.
Chu Lian and Gu Qian, on the other hand, had secretly started dating someone in private.
“Aiyoh, after all, our age is here for all to see. You’re so good-looking. It will be a pity if you don’t experience a satisfying romance.”
Gu Qian let out a burp. The sharp Chu Lian sensed this topic caused Qi Xiaoran’s countenance to darken, so she reached out a hand to pat Gu Qian. “Go drink your beer and just take your boyfriend in hand.”
Chu Lian saved Qi Xiaoran from the predicament by changing Gu Qian’s focus.
Gu Qingjiu merely cast a glance at Qi Xiaoran.
After the meal ended, Chu Lian sent Gu Qian home, while Gu Qingjiu and Qi Xiaoran left together.
One was heading to the villa in the capital, while the other returned to her older brother’s side.
It had been a long time since Gu Qingjiu asked Qi Xiaoran about this, so on the way back, she asked with deep thought, “Then what are you and your older brother planning to do in the future?”
Qi Xiaoran paused for a moment, then looked up at the sky, a rare melancholic expression on her face. “Brother said he plans to get married to me. But after all, our names are registered under the same household, and with my identity as a soldier, it would be too troublesome. I’m fine with the way things are now. So long as I can be with my older brother, I’m content.”
Judging from Qi Xiaoran’s condition, it seemed like she was poisoned too profoundly.
Gu Qingjiu also knew that Qi Xiaoran loved her older brother very much, and her older brother also had an intense possessiveness of her. When Gu Qingjiu and Qi Xiaoran went out, so long as Qi Yefan was around, his face would appear tense.
It seemed like he couldn’t tolerate seeing anyone together with his younger sister.
