Huo Yao sighed before she lied through her teeth. “Maybe I got nervous because of the presence of chief military instructor.”
Yuan Xi beca thoughtful after hearing this. She secretly glanced at Min Yu who was standing nearby. With a nod to herself, she decided that he seed to be looking their way when Huo Yao fired.
Yuan Xi instantly raised her hand and patted Huo Yao’s shoulder. She comforted her in a low voice. “You were so unlucky. If he was looking at , there was no way I could have even scored six points.”
Huo Yao cleared her throat without responding.
anwhile, on the other end.
The instructor standing beside Min Yu could not believe his eyes when he saw Huo Yao’s scores. “That’s strange. She should have done better than this.”
Min Yu stood with his hands behind him. He turned sideways to look at the instructor after hearing this. “What do you an?”
The instructor narrowed his eyes slightly. He frowned and said, “The girl kept getting the bullseye yesterday. Also, she had perfect posture while she was doing it. It’s obvious that she is a talented marksman. However, her performance today was simply ordinary.”
The mont Min Yu heard what the instructor said, he looked astonished.
The instructors sent to give Tsing University freshn military training were elite soldiers, so they knew what they were doing. If the instructor could praise Huo Yao for being an excellent marksman, he ant what he said.
Min Yu recalled sothing and asked. “Was she the student you were talking about yesterday to Director Min?”
The instructor nodded disappointedly. “That’s right. I am so surprised by her performance today.”
Was he wrong about her?
Min Yu looked in Huo Yao’s direction and contemplated before he said, “Maybe it was a fluke yesterday.”
“Perhaps.” Since the instructor could not wrap his mind around it, this could be the only reason.
He had planned on staying back to talk to the young woman later today. From the looks of it, it was unnecessary.
Never mind. It wasn’t easy to find good marksn to begin with.
The instructor disappointedly shook his head, veered his eyes, and went to check the other students.
The shooting test was over an hour later. Now that the military training was over, it was ti to take a group photo.
The instructor knew Min Yu did not like taking pictures, so he said, “Young Master Min, since the military training is more or less done, you can go ahead.”
The instructor was hinting that he would not hold up Min Yu’s precious ti by making him join the photo-taking session.
Min Yu glanced at the instructor. After a few seconds, he said, “It’s fine.”
The instructor felt puzzled, but he did not think otherwise and simply thought Min Yu was just treating it as a part of his role as the chief military instructor to see it through to the end. He proceeded to speak reverently. “Okay. In that case, please give a minute. I will co right back after the photo-taking session.”
The mont he finished his sentence, the instructor walked off without even asking if Min Yu would like to join in.
Min Yu was flabbergasted.
Min Yu sneered as he watched the instructor walk up beside the freshn.

After the military training ended, Huo Yao went back to the dormitory and packed her luggage.
It would be a school holiday for two days straight from tomorrow onwards. After the break, lessons would comnce officially.
As Yuan Xi helped Huo Yao pack up the things on Huo Yao’s bed, she complained. “Sigh. Why aren’t you staying on campus? Isn’t it much better to stay here?”
Huo Yao had already taken off her camouflage gear before she ca back. She was dressed in a loose-fitting white T-shirt and jeans. It brought out her long slender legs and she looked elegantly casual.
Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Yao’s perfect legs before checking out her own limbs. She was quickly overwheld by low self-esteem.
