Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her! - Chapter 231
Chapter 231: Dazzling Others, Hit the Third Ring (7)
In the open training range, other than the Fifth Unit, other units already started their training as well.
Xie Ya was among them. When she arrived at the training range, for some reason, she saw Gu Qingjiu standing by the side at first glance.
Her gaze suddenly turned as sharp as arrows.
When she saw that Gu Qingjiu was training with a twenty-meter target, her pupils shrunk a little.
If she remembered correctly, she recalled that Gu Qingjiu transferred to the camp last month, and yesterday was only the first day of the new month.
It hadn’t been that long since Gu Qingjiu transferred and she was already practicing shooting a twenty-meter target? Did she think she was a genius or something?
However, when she saw that Gu Qingjiu’s gun was shooting at an airborne target, she couldn’t help but smile.
She was overestimating herself.
Xie Ya was now in the First Battalion Second Unit. Many in their unit had noticed the weird situation going on in the Fifth Unit, but what attracted their attention, even more, was the new girl Gu Qingjiu.
Many people tried sounding out the Fifth Unit during their free time and in between training about the situation.
The friend next to Xie Ya, a female soldier, also complained to Xie Ya in a hushed voice, “I heard that they did that in order to speed up our unit’s progress. But shouldn’t the new recruits’ training be separated from us? Oh, I forgot that the Fifth Unit never had any newcomers join them before. Their drill sergeant might not know how to deal with this… but no matter how impressive she is, she can’t possibly keep up with them. Even practicing with a twenty-meter target?”
Xie Ya chuckled upon hearing this. “Who knows? She’s probably putting up a strong front.”
“That’s not the way to do it even if she’s trying to put up a strong front…” The female soldier muttered. “Back when you first entered, you started with a five-meter range. Now that a month has passed, you’re still shooting in a ten-meter range. Surely this newcomer in the Fifth Unit can’t be that impressive? Do you know her?”
Xie Ya smiled mockingly. “How can she possibly beat me?”
Her confident tone made this female soldier somewhat astounded.
But Xie Ya’s gaze was deeply locked on Gu Qingjiu throughout.
…
Gu Qingjiu was extremely focused.
She could sense people’s stare at her and they were all waiting to watch a good show. But she didn’t care.
She was only focused on that tiny red dot that was even smaller than a fingernail.
But then again, she didn’t feel much difference between a five-meters and twenty-meters target.
There was something else. She had a different feeling.
That target seemed to be calling out to her.
With the gun in her hands and her eyes focused on that red dot, she seemed to have transformed into another person.
Because she was too focused, she didn’t even realize that tiny sweat droplets already formed on her forehead.
She actually perspired on a winter day!
Mu Nanji noticed this. At first, because this girl was quite pretty, he thought that he would first give her preferential treatment then point out her mistakes. Hence, in a moment of rashness, he arranged for her to shoot in a twenty-meter range. But seeing the way she was acting, Mu Nanji felt a little guilty.
Should he change her practice to a ten-meter target?
After all, she was a newcomer. This was her first time, and already she was so, so nervous.
As an instructor, he appeared a little inhumane.
But at that moment, Gu Qingjiu suddenly fired a shot.
‘Thud!!!’
Twenty-meters, third ring!
Mu Nanji was stunned to see the result.
It had only been an hour, and she already managed to hit a twenty-meter target?
Wasn’t this too absurd?
But what if it was just pure luck?
If it wasn’t luck, then…
The previous thought he had dissipated.
Since she could keep up, then she could continue with the twenty-meter target.
She could even strike the third ring now! Sooner or later, she would probably hit the bullseye.
Mu Nanji was optimistic about this.
However, he had already forgotten about the fact that he made her train with a twenty-meter target just to show off his authority earlier.
