Chapter 133: Are We Going To Forfeit?
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Yan and Lin Xiaoyu were still in the hospital.
Guo Rou was somewhat absent-minded.
Han Jiao looked up and saw her rival at the Arts Department, Xu Wenjuan. In return, she received a smug stare as the latter mocked, “Han Jiao, the first match is a singing compet.i.tion. I heard your partic.i.p.ant is a meek and timid girl? How can an introverted person do well on the stage?”
“She wouldn’t sing out of tune, would she?” A soldier next to Xu Wenjuan chuckled.
Han Jiao glared at her and turned around. She encountered Shen Jiayi who approached her with a pale face.
Clearly, she heard everything.
Shen Jiayi wasn’t confident to begin with. She even didn’t dare to join the singing compet.i.tion before.
Moreover, the incident concerning Gu Yan complicated the matters. After hearing the taunts, she was on the verge of giving up.
Han Jiao saw Shen Jiayi’s expression and cursed.
Shen Jiayi bit her lips. “Platoon leader Han, I-I-”
The match was about to begin. If Shen Jiayi didn’t have the courage to present right now, the Logistics Department would have no one to replace her.
By then, they could only forfeit…
‘This was worse than losing!’
Han Jiao immediately pulled Shen Jiayi to a place with very few onlookers.
She looked at the girl and exhaled. “Shen Jiayi, were you standing next to Gu Yan when the bathroom incident happened yesterday?”
“Yes…” Shen Jiayi felt more dejected at the mention of Gu Yan.
She had heard Gu Yan’s hand was seriously injured. If she couldn’t recover, it would affect her future…
Han Jiao continued, “Gu Yan is an excellent soldier. Her reaction is really fast. When the altercation happened yesterday, she had a better choice. That choice would have let her leave the incident unscathed.”
Shen Jiayi looked up and was taken aback.
Han Jiao could not help but deeply sigh. “Don’t you understand? Deflecting it with the bucket required two movements but dodging to the side only needed one. The second option would be simpler for her. That way, her hands wouldn’t needlessly get hurt. However, she didn’t choose it. That’s because… her comrade was next to her.”
If Gu Yan dodged the water, the one who would suffer the consequences would be… Shen Jiayi.
Shen Jiayi was dumbfounded.
Guo Rou, who came to call Shen Jiayi and Han Jiao over, was stunned too.
They both neglected this issue yesterday!
Guo Rou looked down. She felt disheartened because of Lin Xiaoyu.
But yesterday, Lin Xiaoyu, her good friend, was trying to harm someone.
On the other hand, in the spur of the moment, Gu Yan was thinking about how to save someone!
The comparison was highly contrasting.
Guo Rou coughed. “Platoon Leader, they’re asking what song we’re going to play.”
Han Jiao nodded and looked at Shen Jiayi.
Guo Rou moved closer and patted Shen Jiayi’s shoulder. “Jiayi, Gu Yan already encouraged you to try. If you don’t, how can you be certain you can’t do it? If you never try, you would live with regrets for the rest of your life. At most, if you fail, you can just disregard the whole thing. However, what if you succeed instead?”
Shen Jiayi was moved. She still remembered clearly that not long ago, Gu Yan told her with conviction that she believed in her!
