Chapter 40: You two really treat me like I’m not here!

“What did the old man tell you?”

“Nothing much.”

The two of them chatted as they walked, and soon arrived at the training ground.

Everyone was surprised to see a young woman, wondering if she could be Captain Gu’s teacher. But they quickly realized that this teacher was not the other teacher, and Captain Gu was quite interesting!

Tie Jianjun and Zhang Yang recognized the figure and eyebrows as the woman they met on the train.

Zhang Yang waved to Ye Qinglan: “Comrade, long time no see!”

Ye Qinglan: “Long time no see.”

Tie Jianjun also greeted her.

After responding, Ye Qinglan asked Gu Huaizhi: “Do you want to prepare first?”

Gu Huaizhi chuckled: “No need. Mainly, what kind of assessment do you want to conduct? A comprehensive assessment? Or a single aspect?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qinglan’s foot came over.

He quickly retaliated.

While retaliating, he said: “Let’s make three agreements. We are sparring here, don’t put me in the category of not letting women fight. If I accidentally injure you, don’t put me in the category of bad students.”

He suddenly realized that sparring with Teacher Xiao Ye was risky. If he didn’t make three agreements, if he accidentally injured her, he might be expelled!

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Ye Qinglan said, swinging a punch that grazed past his cheek.

Gu Huaizhi dodged sideways. Teacher Xiao Ye’s moves were fierce, and he stopped talking.

The two of them went back and forth, fighting fiercely, making the comrades who were originally watching the show stop eating their melon seeds and seriously observe their battle.

After a while, they saw the woman in the field jump up and perform a series of kicks, forcing their Captain Gu to retreat step by step. It seemed like he was about to lose, but in the next second, their Captain grabbed the opponent’s foot!

They thought the woman was going to be thrown out, but she suddenly took advantage of the momentum and pounced on their Captain.

…

The fighting between the two in the field quickly attracted more people, even alarming Captain Gu’s superiors.

Everyone watched and clapped: “Good!”

“That move was brilliant!”

“Who is this woman? She’s not falling behind against Huaizhi! But her attacks are quite tricky.”

“…”

Neither of them used weapons in the field. Ye Qinglan’s whip had already been thrown away.

The two of them fell to the ground, their hand-to-hand combat didn’t stop.

Tie Jianjun and Zhang Yang whispered to each other. Such ambiguous actions, but they couldn’t see a hint of romance between these two.

Ye Qinglan didn’t pay attention, and punched Gu Huaizhi in the face.

Gu Huaizhi performed a spinning kick, and she couldn’t dodge in time, getting kicked on her shoulder.

…

The way they fought was intense, truly intense, but –

Gu Huaizhi’s superior blew the whistle in time. As soon as the whistle stopped, the two simultaneously collapsed onto the ground, looking at each other.

They didn’t win again. Gu Huaizhi didn’t feel ashamed, he only felt that he needed to work harder.

At this time, the superior walked over: “Although I don’t know who this woman is, you two must stop. You won’t be able to fight to a conclusion anymore, you’ll only end up injuring each other.”

“Understood, superior.” Gu Huaizhi replied, asking Ye Qinglan: “Are you alright? You okay? I kicked you just now.”

Ye Qinglan shook her head: “It’s nothing.”

It’s just that she needs to constantly improve herself.

Her moves are more focused on speed and lethality, but Gu Huaizhi’s moves are different.

So when they fight, hers are very tricky. Even with such tricky moves, she couldn’t win against Gu Huaizhi. She needs to take it easy.

Gu Huaizhi took out a candy from his pocket and threw it over. Ye Qinglan caught it precisely.

Then he also took out one, tore it open, and put it in his mouth.

The superior: “…” Good heavens, you two really treat me like I’m not here!!

Alright, I’ll leave!

The two sat there for a while, Gu Huaizhi got up first, extending his hand towards Ye Qinglan: “Teacher Xiao Ye, thank you for your guidance today, I learned a lot. To thank you for coming all this way to guide me, let me treat you to dinner. But before dinner, let’s go to the infirmary to treat our wounds. How about that?”

Ye Qinglan burst out laughing.

“If you want to treat me to dinner, just say it directly, no need to be so eloquent.”

Then she got up from the ground.

Gu Huaizhi retracted his hand.

“So, are you going to eat or not?” Gu Huaizhi said again: “Eat. I think you should get to know me better. Whether it’s during the process of eating or during daily interactions, it’s a good opportunity to get to know someone.”

Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

Gu Huaizhi: “You don’t know me, even if I win you someday, are you going to rush into a relationship and get married with me? That’s not very responsible to yourself. Aren’t you worried that I have ulterior motives, a bad temper, and a bad character? That could affect your future.”

He said again: “Let’s get to know each other more. If you find anything about me that you dislike along the way, you can leave early, so you won’t waste your time.”

Ye Qinglan walked over and patted his shoulder: “You’re saying all this. It’s just a meal, I won’t refuse.”

After a pause, she asked: “So, you don’t have any other thoughts? You’re very willing to be chosen by me?”

She didn’t forget what Gu Huaizhi said on the day of the blind date. He was clearly tricked into the blind date by Commander Gu, and he didn’t seem willing.

But after meeting again, he didn’t resist at all, and he was warm and cheerful when talking to her. Men are truly like a bottomless pit!

Gu Huaizhi smiled slightly, like a spring breeze.

Just as he was about to speak, the onlookers who hadn’t dispersed yet called out: “Captain, it’s time, let’s eat.”

Ye Qinglan also said: “Let’s go, what do you guys have good to eat here?”

Gu Huaizhi came back to his senses, glared at the comrade who called him, and caught up with Ye Qinglan who had already walked a few steps.

“The chicken legs in the cafeteria are pretty good, but I think the sweet and sour fish in the restaurant is better, do you want to try it?”

He made this suggestion because he thought Ye Qinglan liked sweets, and she might also like sweet dishes.

Sure enough, Ye Qinglan said: “Then let’s go eat sweet and sour fish.”

She said this without considering the fact that eating at a restaurant is more expensive, after all, Gu Huaizhi had suggested it himself.

“Okay.”

But before they set off for the restaurant, Gu Huaizhi took her to wash up first. They both got dirty after fighting.

After washing up, they went to the infirmary to treat their wounds.

Only after treating their wounds did they prepare to go to the restaurant. The restaurant was some distance from their camp, so they decided to drive there.

When they reached the car door, Gu Huaizhi said: “I’ll drive?”

“Okay.”

Then Gu Huaizhi asked another question: “Do you want to sit in the front or the back? I don’t mind if you sit in the back, I’m happy to drive for the leader.”

He said this because the passenger seat is the most dangerous position in the whole car, and some people don’t like that position.

Ye Qinglan somehow understood his meaning: “I can sit in the front too, I trust your driving skills!”

Gu Huaizhi smiled upon hearing this. These words sounded like praise.
