Chapter 177: Chapter 176: Walk Into the Wrong Set?
Today is the final match of the 10-ter air pistol event, the mixed team competition.
The competitors were getting ready backstage, and the audience gradually took their seats, many holding banners and light sticks to cheer for the contestants.
The most nurous and conspicuous among these were undoubtedly Qi Zhen’s banners, with Qi Wanli and Yu Shuhua also holding one, and the Chen family nearby.
The comntator was introducing today’s competitors to the audience prior to the match. After briefly covering the other contestants, the comntator focused on Qi Zhen.
The big screen above the arena was broadcasting a promotional video for the shooting sport featuring Qi Zhen, interview clips, and so competition scenes.
“What is now playing on the big screen are scenes from when Qi Zhen won the Azure Dragon Cup. It was from that competition that Qi Zhen officially joined the National Team. We are fortunate today to have mbers of the National Team join us for a friendly competition. I believe it will be very exciting…”
Qi Yue was checking her equipnt, listening with bored indifference as the comntator went on, energizing the ambiance of the venue.
She didn’t know when her partner would arrive…
Just then, her phone rang; it was a ssage from her mother on WeChat. It was a general encouragent, and her mother explained that because Qi Yue’s participation was so sudden, they couldn’t prepare a cheering banner for her in ti.
Qi Yue glanced at her phone expressionlessly and then put it down.
At that mont, an announcent ca from outside, calling all competitors to get ready to enter the arena.
The competitors proceeded to enter in sequence.
Qi Yue was the last in line.
Just as she was about to enter, Teacher Li, who had gone to pick soone up, hadn’t returned, uncertain whether he could make it on ti.
Qi Yue glanced toward the entrance, then took steps toward the arena.
Although she no longer cared, her gaze uncontrollably swept in the direction of her parents, only to unsurprisingly find all their attention fixed on Qi Zhen…
Expectant and proud eyes…
She had long forgotten, yet the scene, after so many years, seed to overlap with the past.
She stood alone in the arena, without a single glance ant for her, even though her dearest ones were within arm’s reach.
That feeling of powerlessness, of growing more distant from them the harder she tried, drowned her like a sea…
“The final group to take the stage are two students from A University. The female student is from A University’s School of Agriculture, Qi Yue. The male participant seems to not have arrived yet. The male competitor representing A University is…”
The comntator’s voice halted suddenly as the sound of pages flipping could be heard over the broadcast, probably because the male contestant had changed several tis and the comntator was looking for the finalized list of nas.
At the mont the comntator paused, the audience suddenly burst into a commotion.
Then, people began to stand up, followed by louder clamoring and screaming.
“Ah ah ah—”
Following the direction of the screaming, Qi Yue saw a familiar figure stepping toward her.
And then, the comntator’s voice, tinged with excitent, filled the arena, “The male representative for A University is! A doctoral student from A University’s School of Life Sciences! Gu Huai!”
“What? The legend! Is it really him? How is that possible? Isn’t this a shooting competition?”
Many in the audience were university students for whom the na Gu Huai was more resonant than any top-stream celebrity.
However, no one had expected to see the academic prodigy appear in a completely unrelated air pistol shooting competition.
Song Qiuqiu and Su Xiaotang, who had just rushed over, were also dumbfounded.
Song Qiuqiu: “Did I walk into the wrong set? Isn’t this the shooting range? Why is the legend up there? And he’s standing next to our Yue Bao!”
Su Xiaotang: “Right! It is the shooting range! Oh my gosh! Yue Bao’s partner is the legend????”
