Chapter 73: He Hit a Woman
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The alarm sounded off, at least in Zhang Cuihua’s heart.
Given the intensity, sparring was just a euphemism at this point.
This time she wasn’t even going to use a bag.
Zhang Cuihua immediately said, “Gu Yan, this is the dorms. If you dare to hit people, I’ll, I’ll…”
“I didn’t hit anyone. Besides, it is a sparring match. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around. Did I not extend a friendly invitation to spar?”
Aside from the six individuals originally in Gu Yan’s dorm, there were another six women, all of whom from the Logistics Department.
Zhang Cuihua was tactless and offended a lot of people. At the moment, everyone overheard the conversation, and sounded off on the matter to vouch for Gu Yan, “Comrade Zhang Cuihua, Comrade Gu Yan just wants to spar with you. You have the option to accept it.”
Zhang Cuihua’s face turned red.
She almost underhandedly spilled that Gu Yan and Captain Lu were dating.
But seeing a hint of joy in Gu Yan’s face, she decided not to bring the topic about.
Shen Jiayi picked up her face-wash and walked next to Gu Yan, and said, “Let’s go get some water at the water house before lights off.”
“Mhm,” Gu Yan responded.
The two left the dorm and walked straight towards the water station. After turning a corner, they reached the tap.
With just the two of them, Shen Jiayi couldn’t resist but pry. “Gu Yan, Zhang Cuihua said Captain Lu is chasing after you?”
“Sort of,” she replied calmly.
Shen Jiayi exhaled in relief. Gu Yan followed up with a serious tone
“We’re in a relations.h.i.+p now and officially dating.”
Shen Jiayi was speechless.
She felt tensed yet again. She was so worked up that the soap slid out and dropped into the sink.
The soap had a distinct floral scent. They were very precious. You couldn’t even buy some of them.
Gu Yan quickly helped Shen Jiayi pick up the soap and washed it with water. Confused by her reaction, Gu Yan curiously asked, “Jiayi, do you like him too?”
“No, no no, not one bit!” Shen Jiayi exclaimed. Her voice was trembling.
Gu Yan couldn’t stop laughing seeing Shen Jiayi like this. “I’m just joking. Are you that terrified of Captain Lu?”
“Gu Yan, Captain Lu is truly scary! Everyone calls him the Demon King behind his back. Such ferocity. I have heard stories from the battlefield before, stories that even enemies were scared upon hearing his name. Captain Lu liked to do things on his own. Inside the elite’s circle, I’ve heard quite some legend about him. Some said that he even hit a woman!”
“I knew he was quite something but never about him hitting a woman. I’ll ask him some other day.”
Seeing that her good friend wasn’t fazed at all, Shen Jiayi was stomping her feet in frustration.
She looked around and clenched her teeth. “In fact, that’s not the worst of it. The most important thing is Captain Lu is the only child of the Lu family’s third generation. Their family is very complicated, much more than even my family! Gu Yan, I’m genuinely worried for you. What if his family doesn’t allow you guys to be together…”
Shen Jiayi was not exaggerating, and they both knew for a fact that it was possible.
Lu Ye’s family, especially his mother, was against Lu Ye chasing Gu Yan.
Even though they were not dating at the time yet, her mother already showed disapproval.
