With an extremely flustered heart, Ye Ying’s current line of thought wasn’t afraid of the instructor’s words, instead… it was because the instructor had stopped her from continuing her target shooting. If her classmates ask about it later, Ye Jian would then repeat what the instructor said, word for word, in front of everyone, in that case…, the reputation she had built up with so much work during the past couple of days will be entirely destroyed!
She could be forgiven for the first time, but if something similar happened once again, she’d lose her standing in class!
That won’t do, she won’t allow Ye Jian to destroy her with this, she must speak up before Ye Jian does, at the very least… she must make her classmates believe that she had given up midway because she was afraid of shooting, and not because the instructor stopped her!
In a spark, Ye Ying who was lying down on the target shooting platform bit down on her lower lip, she started explaining herself with a voice that was on the verge of tears, “I’m sorry instructor, I was terrified just now, I’ve been a trouble for you.”
She turned around and said towards Ye Jian: “Ye Jian, I’m sorry, I’m still terrified, I don’t think I can shoot the second shot.”
It doesn’t matter whether or not the instructor believes in her, and what he had realized a moment ago doesn’t matter either, the moment she leaves this place, she won’t be in contact with these destitute soldiers anymore. What matters is not allowing Ye Jian the opportunity to speak up, so that their classmates would not know the truth of the matter!
What she didn’t know was that Ye Jian finds the idea of tripping others on stuff like this abhorrent, hearing that, she cocked her brows and blandly said without concern: “There’s no need to apologize to me, even the instructor was able to realize, since I am also involved, of course, I could realize it.”
“You’re trying to take me out with target shooting as an excuse, Ye Ying, you must be truly dumb. Do you even know how many people are stationed here? Do you even know why there are instructors standing beside everyone? Do you even believe you can fool the whole military?”
She knew what she wanted to do the instant she spoke up, but she still thought she was quite the smart one, thinking that no one would discover the dark thoughts simmering inside her.
Going against this Ye Ying, sometimes make Ye Jian wonder whether or not that smart and vicious Ye Ying in her past life was even the same person as this Ye Ying, they aren’t even on the same level!
Xia Jinyuan did not move, neither did he speak up, he couldn’t help it… his current identity was that of an instructor; he had already warned Ye Ying a moment ago, it is unsuitable for him to speak up again.
“Just now, I was indeed in the wrong.” Ye Ying scrunched up her face, her gloomy gaze glared at Ye Jian, she could only hear the bangs of gunfire beside her, everyone had already started firing their second shot. In contrast, Ye Ying could only fiercely glare at Ye Jian with an empty gun, as if her rage can only be quenched by doing so.
A clean yet slender hand suddenly stretched out, it was Xia Jinyuan who stretched out his hand with an emotionless face, and his palm cut off Ye Ying’s line of sight.
His actions made Ye Jian snap her head up,… although it was just a subtle motion, it made Ye Jian’s heart thump violently against its walls,… Xia Jinyuan knew about what happened between her and Ye Zifan’s family, he knew, that’s why he said those words, that’s why he always paid attention to Ye Ying.
That’s why, at moments like this, after stretching out his arm, Ye Ying seemed to become more embarrassed and lackluster!
Xia Jinyuan did not turn around to look at her; she had never brought up the things about Ye Zifan in front of him, she never said it, that’s why he could pretend that everything was peaceful and calm. Still, now that he had witnessed it, he had seen Ye Ying’s horrendous actions, then at that moment, he can not ignore it.
The sounds of gunfire finally stopped, signaling the end of the second batch’s target shooting exercise.
They all wore excited expressions on their faces, some of the girls even had faces that were flushed red, that was too exciting! Never would they have thought target shooting was that exciting! Just that they had no idea how many points they had scored, they reckoned, hahaha, no one hit a single shot, and all of their bullets missed.
