“We’ll see how it turns out.”

Gu Qingjiu sighed. “If the opportunity presents itself before me, I will certainly grab it. If it won’t, it’s because I am not fit for it.”

Although she looked forward to this advanced training camp a lot.

“I guess we can only leave it at that.”

Yu Bao’er was confident in Gu Qingjiu before, but unexpectedly, Xie Ya defeated her. Gu Qingjiu’s capability was the least of Yu Baoe’r’s concern. What she was worried about was if Gu Qingjiu’s defeat would affect her application for the advanced military camp later on.

However, she didn’t wish to voice out her concerns.

After the meal, both of them walked back to the dormitory together.

But before they reached their destination, Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er heard laughter coming from inside.

It wasn’t just Feng Meiyun and Jiang Yu—there were also other girls.

“Did you see Yu Bao’er’s expression at this afternoon’s duel? It felt damn good seeing that!”

This gloating voice belonged to Feng Meiyun.

Yu Bao’er’s expression changed instantly.

Gu Qingjiu’s brows didn’t even move, but her gaze met Yu Bao’er’s before they walked in.

There were several girls in the hostel. Other than Feng Meiyun and Jiang Yu, Xie Ya and two other girls from their training class were present.

Seeing Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er enter, the smile they had on their faces stiffened slightly.

After all, they were gossiping behind others’ backs, thus those who had any shame would naturally feel awkward.

Gu Qingjiu entered but said nothing to them. She simply and calmly walked towards the washroom.

On the other hand, Yu Bao’er sat down next to Gu Qingjiu’s bed and looked at Feng Meiyun with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, making the latter feel flustered. She then whipped out her phone and sprawled on Gu Qingjiu’s bed and played some games.

The atmosphere was super awkward.

But they didn’t have plans to go out either.

While everyone was looking at each other in silence, Xie Ya saw Gu Qingjiu coming out of the washroom, shaking her moist hands. She smiled. “Qingjiu, sorry about what happened earlier on.”

With that, Yu Bao’er instantly looked up from her phone to the girl.

As for the rest, they were excited to hear Xie Ya speaking to Gu Qingjiu.

Was a confrontation in the making?

After all, Gu Qingjiu had lost to Xie Ya in the afternoon; all of them were eager to see Gu Qingjiu’s reaction.

But the way Gu Qingjiu responded wasn’t what they expected.

She merely paused for a moment upon hearing Xie Ya’s words. She then picked up a towel to wipe her fingers, and she pulled a smile as she replied, “It’s okay. You’re truly impressive. I willingly concede defeat.”

The girl’s voice was soft and calm, like a piece of rock with a smooth surface.

Others couldn’t find fault with her reply and could not continue mocking her.

Jiang Yu sat by the side of the bed, with legs shaking. Seeing Xie Ya purse her lips and nod as she turned to look towards her, Jiang Yu said with a smile, “Qingjiu, you can’t blame yourself for this since Xie Ya’s family runs a martial arts school. When she first told us about it, it surprised us, too. Xie Ya is the strongest among us, so it’s normal if you lose to her.”

“Mm.”

Her indifferent tone of voice put one at a loss for words.

Trying and failing several times to provoke Gu Qingjiu, they glanced at each other and felt bored.

Jiang Yu could only bring her group outside the dormitory.

Once they left, the entire building hushed down.

Sprawled on the side of the bed, Yu Bao’er laughed. “They think everyone is like them—petty over losing a competition!”
