Chapter 614: Don’t Worry, I’ll Take It More Seriously
Tang Xiaoxiao sat beside Gu Mang. She read the expressions of every person who looked at Gu Mang. Last night, Gu Mang had not been at the training ground. The comments about her attending the a.s.sessment weren’t very nice.
Tang Xiaoxiao slanted her body and looked at Gu Mang. She said very seriously, “Gu Mang, don’t be nervous. Just try your best.”
Gu Mang looked sideways. Her calm eyes stopped on Tang Xiaoxiao’s slightly pale face and she did not speak.
Zheng Miao’s feelings were a little complicated when she saw that Tang Xiaoxiao, who was not even partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion, was more nervous than Gu Mang, who was partic.i.p.ating in it.
Tang Xiaoxiao took a bottle of water from her side, unscrewed the cap, and pa.s.sed it to Gu Mang. “Have some water to calm yourself down.”
Gu Mang looked at her for a few seconds and smiled. There was a tinge of wickedness in the smile. She rested her arm on the back of Tang Xiaoxiao’s chair. She crossed her legs and sat in lazily.
Her exquisite eyebrows were slightly raised.
“Are you sure that I am the one who needs to calm down?” Her voice was rather low and it sounded very nice.
Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a second. She looked at the girl in front of her who seemed calm and looked down. “Fine, it’s me who is nervous.”
Gu Mang took out a lychee-flavored lollipop from her pocket and handed it to her. “Don’t worry, I’ll take it more seriously.”
She sounded arrogant and prideful as usual.
Tang Xiaoxiao took the lollipop and gave her a fake smile.
Last night someone had predicted the rankings for the a.s.sessment. The law faculty and mechatronics faculty were most likely to achieve first position. The traditional chinese medical faculty could make it into the top three.
Yet, there was an accident before the a.s.sessment compet.i.tion.
Even if Gu Mang took it more seriously, her performance…
Zheng Miao did not say anything. Gu Mang’s performance was obvious to all. Everyone in the cla.s.s was mentally prepared to be the last in the a.s.sessment.
…
At 7:30, the school leaders of Capital University were picked up by the reserve bus. They were all dressed formally. The respective military instructors went to the audience area to inform the contestants to gather.
There were only 13 people in each cla.s.s entered into the a.s.sessment compet.i.tion. With the instructors that made 14. The teams were not as large as before.
Gu Mang stood with her team. Her face was extremely eye-catching.
When people looked at her and thought of her training performance, the look in their eyes was complicated.
The law school’s team and the traditional chinese medicine major’s team were separated by two columns.
Sang Xue glanced at Gu Mang and the corner of her mouth curled up in ridicule.
The military instructor repeated the three big activities for the day.
4km heavy load run. 400m obstacle race. 20m shooting.
“Individual scores will be calculated for each stage. At the end, the sum of all the individual scores of the cla.s.s will be presented as the final score,” The instructor said, scanning everyone. “Do you understand?”
“Understood!” Their voices were loud and powerful.
The instructor said, “We will now have 10 minutes of break. In ten minutes, return to your positions.”
After the military instructor spoke, he walked to the side.
Gu Mang looked at Zheng Miao. “I’m going to the washroom.”
“I’ll come along,” Zheng Miao answered.
…
Gu Mang stood in front of the wash basin to wash her hand. Just then, Sang Xue walked to the spot beside her and turned on the tap. After Gu Mang washed her hands, she went out to wait for Zheng Miao.
A girl came out from the washroom. When she saw Sang Xue constantly looking at the door, she asked curiously, “What are you looking at?”
As she spoke, she turned and saw Gu Mang’s back.
“She’s really courageous,” the girl said while was.h.i.+ng her hands. “She’s partic.i.p.ating in the compet.i.tion with that kind of performance. She’s going to be such a burden to her cla.s.s.”
Sang Xue smiled and did not respond.
…
At 8am, all the military instructors and leaders walked over to the main podium.
The man leading the way was dressed in a special black camouflage uniform. He had one hand in his pocket and was surrounded by everyone else like a big boss being protected by bodyguards.
The group of people walked up to the rostrum and took their seats one after another.
