Chapter 799: I’m Chasing Her

Editor: Henyee Translations

Everyone sat on their stools and listened as Xiao Yize emphasized the discipline before starting the military training.

In the beginning, it was all simple exercises: relaxation, standing at attention, and standing in a military posture. These were simple to do, but the repetition consumed more energy.

Xiao Yize, wearing his military uniform, looked serious and cold, completely different from his usual refined and elegant image. If it weren’t for his constant glances toward Gu Jin, Gu Yang might have believed he was genuinely there to be an instructor.

The sun was very bright, its rays passing through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting fish scale-shaped spots of light on the ground. A light breeze blew past the treetops, making the light and shadow dance on the ground.

The youths in their military green camouflage uniforms walked across the campus with neat steps.

After a while of military training, Xiao Yize asked everyone to stop and rest. Leaning against a tree, he opened a bottle of mineral water and took a few sips.

The students were very curious about the young and handsome Xiao Yize, but his cold and serious demeanor deterred most of them from asking questions.

One boy, Pan Shanyu, who was usually very active in the class group, finally spoke up, “Instructor Xiao, how old are you?”

Xiao Yize glanced at Gu Jin. “Twenty-three and a half.”

Pan Shanyu was stunned. “So precise?”

Xiao Yize frowned slightly, only relaxing when he heard a chorus of exclamations, “So young.”

Gu Yang carried a small stool and sat beside Gu Jin, smiling. “Sister, Instructor Xiao is only five and a half years older than you.”

Gu Jin brought her big kettle over, opened it, and handed it to her. “Drink some water.”

“Oh.” Gu Yang obediently drank from the water bottle, her eyes full of smiles.

Feng Jue, standing behind Gu Yang, looked at Xiao Yize with disdain. Why hadn’t Xiao Yize managed to woo Gu Jin yet?

According to the script shared by his sister, Xiao Yize should have almost confirmed his relationship with Gu Jin by now.

Could it be that Gu Jin had read the script, making it more difficult for Xiao Yize to woo her?

Pan Shanyu’s question seemed to have broken the ice. The boys and girls, initially shy and reserved, began throwing out questions one after another.

“Instructor Xiao, where are you from?”

“Instructor Xiao, how old are you?”

“Instructor Xiao, do you have a girlfriend?”

There were too many questions, so Xiao Yize only chose a few to answer.

It was Su Ziyun who first asked about the girlfriend. After she asked, the other students from the Physics Department chimed in eagerly.

“Girlfriend?”

Xiao Yize leaned against the tree trunk and repeated the word. His cold eyes softened as his gaze landed on Gu Jin, who stood behind the crowd. “I don’t have a girlfriend yet.”

Gu Jin looked up and met his smiling gaze.

He said, “But there’s a girl I like. I’m chasing her.”

Gu Jin felt her breath catch for a moment. The weather was so hot that it was disturbing. The dense foliage couldn’t hide the scorching sun, making her cheeks burn.

Gu Yang smiled happily at the side.

Su Ziyun had been excited when Xiao Yize looked in her direction, but his words felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her.

Pan Shanyu asked again, “Instructor Xiao, you’re so handsome. Why haven’t you gotten a girlfriend yet?”

The boys beside him joked, “That’s right. If he can’t get a girlfriend with these looks, what hope do we have?”

Su Ziyun leaned over to Tong Jiayin and asked in a low voice, “Jiayin, which young lady does your cousin like?”

Tong Jiayin initially thought Su Ziyun was sensible and knew how to please her, but she grew annoyed with Su Ziyun’s persistent questions about Xiao Yize. “Why are you asking so many questions? It’s impossible for him to like you.”

Although she was Xiao Yize’s cousin, she didn’t talk to him as much as Su Ziyun did. Xiao Yize was rarely in the capital and didn’t attend many social events. How would she know who he liked?

Hearing Tong Jiayin’s blunt words, Su Ziyun’s face stiffened. She forced a smile and said, “I’m just curious.”
