Chapter 514: Terrible Countenance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Once she had said those words out loud, the atmosphere in the dormitory grew quiet.
Lu Yixin cast a strange look at Yan Hanqi and felt that her words had an underlying meaning.
Yan Hanqi was eliminated much earlier than her today that by the time she got out, Yan Hanqi was already out there with the rest of her eliminated teammates.
She didn’t know who it was that eliminated Yan Hanqi. But from the looks of it, it was Qingjiu?
Lu Yixin had no idea why she got a kick out of the knowledge that Yan Hanqi Qingjiu eliminated her.
She picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom first.
After she went in, Gu Qingjiu raised her brows and gazed at Yan Hanqi with a hint of a smile. “I’ve been curious as to why you’ve been addressing me as Senior.”
She and Yan Hanqi were both first-year students.
It wasn’t that she particularly cared about the form of address, but somehow she felt like Yan Hanqi had another meaning for it.
Yan Hanqi heard Lu Yixin enter the bathroom, and Gu Qingjiu’s expression changed accordingly. Astonishing thinking surfaced in her heart all of a sudden.
“Senior? In our hometown, this is a respectful form of address towards people who are stronger than us. It’s fine.”
“This is China. I remember your mother is Chinese, so you should do as the Romans do when in Rome.”
After saying this, Gu Qingjiu turned around and started packing up her clothes.
“Senior, do you have a problem with my nationality?”
Yan Hanqi smiled. “You don’t have to mind this, Senior. Although I grew up in Japan, I’ve always been close to my mother, and my mother’s side treats me extremely well. Also, I identify as a Chinese.”
“That wasn’t what I meant.”
Gu Qingjiu turned back to look at her, a slight smile brooding on her face. “I don’t have a problem with your nationality, but I feel that calling me a senior is a little strange.”
She was already putting it quite plainly, that Yan Hanqi made others feel uncomfortable in certain ways.
Yan Hanqi’s expression halted, and she finally restrained the smile on her face a little.
“Senior, you’re pretty straightforward.”
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Yes, I’ve always been a straightforward person.”
Yan Hanqi paused for a moment, then stopped talking.
The dormitory plunged into silence.
Shortly after, Lu Yixin came out from the shower. Gu Qingjiu said nothing, merely picking up her clothes and entering the bathroom.
Lu Yixin and Yan Hanqi didn’t have much to say to each other. Hence that night, this dormitory appeared particularly quiet.
They didn’t speak much with Yan Hanqi, all the way until Lu Yimei came back.
The next day, all the schools returned to the capital.
Jiao Yujin and Pan Shiyuan’s schools had to rush back to Changhui Province today, and their flight was at 5 p.m.
They only came over for a friendly exchange this time.
Such a result was unexpected to them.
Now, Gu Qingjiu’s reputation had more or less spread throughout all the military schools.
Basically, everyone knew that there was a new sharpshooter from the National Military University of China (NMUC) whose abilities rivaled Yin Ruoyi.
On the way back to school, Lu Yixin couldn’t hold herself back from finally asking her older sister Lu Yimei.
“Sister, I’ve been wanting to ask you about Yan Hanqi from CTU1. What’s the matter with her? I feel uncomfortable every time I see her. The same thing applied during yesterday’s competition. After Qingjiu eliminated her, her countenance looked terrible.”
