Chapter 576: 577, I wish you success (one more update)

Although Chu Jin said so.

Qiao Muyan was still somewhat unconvinced.

Chu Jin had been gone for so long, alone with a man, could it really be that they were only discussing matters of military training so simply?

And, with Song Shiqin being so outstanding, could Chu Jin really remain unmoved?

Chu Jin was so beautiful, was she really content to marry someone who drove a Volkswagen?

For a moment, Qiao Muyan’s thoughts were in turmoil.

She liked Song Shiqin, so she was determined to win him over.

But Chu Jin had become the biggest obstacle between her and Song Shiqin.

Qiao Muyan lowered her eyelids, hiding the emotions in her eyes, before continuing to ask.

"Chu Jin, do you truly not like Song Shiqin?"

She was in dire need of an answer now.

An honest answer.

Although Chu Jin had already given her the answer last night, there was still a great deal of unease in her heart.

A woman’s sixth sense is always very accurate.

Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Really." She looked serious, with not the slightest hint of joking in her eyes.

She truly held no other thoughts about Song Shiqin, unable to comprehend where Qiao Muyan got the idea that she liked Song Shiqin.

"You’re not lying to me?" Although she had received a definite answer, Qiao Muyan was still a bit uneasy; after all, she was not confident enough because Song Shiqin had never given her a second glance from start to finish. Song Shiqin was a man untamed and proud.

A wildness about him that seemed unconquerable.

This very wildness was what stirred the desire within Qiao Muyan to conquer.

So, upon realizing that Song Shiqin was not here for her, the idea of actively pursuing him took root in her mind.

And she really liked Song Shiqin a lot.

No other man had ever moved Qiao Muyan’s heart in such a way.

Chu Jin smiled lightly, somewhat helplessly saying, "Would I need to lie to you about this kind of thing?"

Qiao Muyan also smiled, retorting, "Then, do you think I should take the initiative to pursue Song Shiqin?"

Chu Jin spoke indifferently, giving her sincere advice, "There’s a saying that it’s only a veil between a woman pursuing a man. You can try it; after all, happiness is pursued on one’s own initiative. If you don’t try, how will you know whether it’s possible?"

As she spoke, she added, "However, I don’t think Song Shiqin will be easy to win over. You should prepare yourself for a long battle."

After all, Song Shiqin was Hua Nation’s General, and there were certainly no shortage of people pursuing him. It likely wouldn’t be easy for Qiao Muyan to win him over.

In this matter, it’s either the man takes the initiative, or the woman does.

Perhaps Qiao Muyan might just touch Song Shiqin’s heart.

Who could be certain of such things?

Qiao Muyan suddenly smiled, "You’re right, I must win Song Shiqin’s heart."

From this conversation, Qiao Muyan could tell that Chu Jin truly had no interest in Song Shiqin; if she did like him, she wouldn’t have so readily supported her pursuit of him.

Gradually, Qiao Muyan’s mind settled down.

"I wish you success," Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Thank you," Qiao Muyan smiled lightly.

She was now truly not at all displeased with Chu Jin.

At this moment, students were continuously coming down from the mountain.

The high school students were excited but disheveled.

These ten days had felt like years for these students; not eating well, not drinking well, not sleeping well, transforming them from street fashionistas to disheveled and sharp characters.

Eating chaff and swallowing greens felt like a return to those famine years, the only thing missing was gnawing on tree bark.

After ten days, they had all lost more than a circle of weight.

Now all they wanted was to have a good meal of meat and take a nice bath; they no longer had any other desires.

This wilderness training was really too damn terrifying!

Only now did they realize that the days of military training were truly blissful.

Jiang Yifeng led a few people from behind towards this side, with Chu Tian standing to his left. Compared to other groups, their situation was more than tenfold better; at the very least, they were well-fed and well-rested. Both Jiang Yifeng and Chu Tian were capable with their hands. If Chu Jin hadn’t been there, first place would undoubtedly belong to them.

Actually, Chu Tian was quite confident in herself this time.

Because she and Jiang Yifeng worked very well together.

Their group’s performance could be said to stand out among all the new students.

Over these ten days, their group hadn’t received any help and had persevered through wind and rain.

Chu Tian spotted Qiao Muyan standing in the distance chatting with Chu Jin and couldn’t help but frown slightly. If she remembered correctly, Qiao Muyan was supposed to really dislike Chu Jin, so why were the two of them chatting and laughing so happily now?

There were even laughs and smiles.

This was too abnormal.

Jiang Yifeng also caught sight of Chu Jin at a glance. Both being class leaders, he couldn’t help but pay more attention to Chu Jin than other girls. Chu Jin was the most unique girl he had ever seen.

She possessed a wisdom not found in her peers, and every frown and smile was so captivating.

No matter when, she always maintained a nonchalant demeanor, neither showing off nor hiding her abilities.

Her grandeur came naturally, from the inside out.

He greatly admired Chu Jin.

It was a very pure admiration. This kind of girl was best appreciated from afar.

Chu Tian glanced at Jiang Yifeng, then quickly said, "I’m going to see my sister." Through the past ten days of interaction, a subtle and somewhat ambiguous relationship had gradually formed between her and Jiang Yifeng.

Jiang Yifeng turned his gaze away and said softly, "Hmm, go ahead." He always felt that sometimes, Chu Tian and Chu Jin were quite similar; they both could bring him unexpected surprises.

More often than not, Chu Tian’s composure and mystique didn’t seem fitting for a teenage girl and felt very much like Chu Jin—perhaps because the two were sisters.

Speaking of sisters, the two didn’t look alike at all.

But after spending some time together, Jiang Yifeng felt that Chu Tian’s temperament was slowly becoming more like the indifferent quality of Chu Jin.

Bit by bit, they were blending together.

Chu Tian approached Chu Jin and said in a sweet tone, "Sister." Even though Chu Jin had emphasized that she should not call her sister in the future, Chu Tian still did her own thing, unable to change that habit.

Chu Jin turned and looked at her, smiling politely.

"You two are sisters?" Qiao Muyan looked at them with some surprise.

Before Chu Jin could speak, Chu Tian said, "My sister and I are not blood-related. It’s only because we both have the surname Chu that I call her sister."

"Oh," Qiao Muyan nodded thoughtfully, "So you both have the surname Chu? What’s your name then?"

Although they had been training together for a month, Qiao Muyan still had no impression of Chu Tian. With 59 people in the class and Chu Tian not having any particularly outstanding qualities, it was normal for her to forget.

Chu Tian might have a cute appearance and delicate features, but in Capital University, where beautiful girls were everywhere, she seemed rather ordinary.

Hearing this, Chu Tian wasn’t embarrassed and simply said, "Chu Tian, Chu with the double woods radical, and Tian as in ’tranquil wind, bright moon’.’

Qiao Muyan nodded and extended her hand toward Chu Tian, "I’m Qiao Muyan, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you," Qiao Muyan shook her hand.

Through their conversation, Qiao Muyan found that she got along really well with Chu Tian, and everything Chu Tian said echoed her own thoughts.

The two of them were like old friends who had known each other for many years.

And Chu Tian had a way with words that was especially pleasing, with every sentence reaching the depths of her heart.

Chu Jin didn’t join in their conversation but found a quiet spot to enter the "Purple Thunder Space" to meditate and cultivate. Without the Soul Resurrection Grass, she had to accelerate the cultivation of her own abilities.

About an hour later, the crowd gradually assembled.

The instructors from each class began to call the roll.

Song Shiqin also appeared in front of everyone, still maintaining the demeanor of a stern instructor.

"All present, assemble."

The voice rang out strong and forceful, as if he had never been injured, and his posture was just as straight.

"At ease, attention."

The movements of the crowd were uniform and impressive.

Having circled around the troop, Song Shiqin then commanded, "From left to right, number off!"

"1."

"2."

"..."

After confirming that the headcount was correct, he then arranged for everyone to board the vehicle—the same coach bus they had arrived in.

"Chu Jin." Qiao Muyan quickly caught up with Chu Jin.

Chu Jin turned, a flash of confusion in her eyes, "What’s the matter?"

With a subtle flicker in her beautiful eyes, Qiao Muyan weighed her words before responding, "Isn’t the bus short on seats? This time, I’m offering my seat to you." In truth, she wanted to seize the chance to ride in Song Shiqin’s car.

How could Chu Jin not understand Qiao Muyan’s intentions? She nodded slightly and said, "Then thank you." Chu Jin had been worrying about the seating situation. Being in the same car as Song Shiqin, the atmosphere would be quite awkward.

Moreover, she had just had such a vivid and bizarre dream about him.

This caused Chu Jin to subconsciously resist being near Song Shiqin.

Now that someone was willing to swap seats with her, granting her a favor and resolving her own issue, why not take advantage of it?

It was the perfect chance to give Qiao Muyan an opportunity.

Qiao Muyan didn’t expect Chu Jin to agree to her request so swiftly and couldn’t help feeling surprised, yet very happy, she said, "No, it’s I who should be thanking you."

Chu Jin pointed to the coach bus, "Then I’ll go ahead and get on."

Qiao Muyan nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

Watching Chu Jin join the other students on the coach, Qiao Muyan gradually relaxed, her lips slowly curving into a faint smile. Then she lifted her foot and walked toward the direction of the military off-road vehicle.

Her heartbeat was racing fiercely.

The closer she got to the vehicle, the more nervous Qiao Muyan felt. Just thinking about the person inside the car was enough to melt her heart.

But reality was far from as pleasant as she had imagined.

Ten minutes later.

Qiao Muyan, with red eyes, was sobbing as she ran to the side.

Sitting on the coach, Chu Tian saw this and quickly ran off the bus, approaching Qiao Muyan with great concern, "Muyan, what happened to you?"

"Wu wu——"

Seeing her approach, Qiao Muyan threw herself into her arms and cried heartbreakingly.

"Alright, don’t cry anymore," consoled Chu Tian softly, patting Qiao Muyan’s back, her eyes filled with concern.

Since Qiao Muyan had told Chu Tian about Song Shiqin before, she had a rough idea of the reason.

Qiao Muyan continued to cry sorrowfully, her tears quickly dampening Chu Tian’s shoulder.

Chu Tian then asked, "Did Mr. Song snap at you?"

As she thought back on what had just occurred, Qiao Muyan cried even harder. She had never experienced such humiliation in her life.

She had just knocked on the window of Song Shiqin’s car.

Before she could even explain her purpose, Song Shiqin had simply told her to "Get lost."

A very cold voice.

Since Qiao Muyan had decided to pursue him, she naturally couldn’t give up easily, so she tactfully explained her intentions.

Unexpectedly, Song Shiqin actually said, "As a girl, can’t you have a little shame?"

An extremely hurtful sentence.

He didn’t take into account at all that she was a girl.

He trampled her dignity underfoot.

Choking back tears, Qiao Muyan recounted the incident to Chu Tian.

Seeing her like this, Chu Tian let out a gentle sigh and then said, "Then come sit in my car, a driver just happens to be coming to pick me up."

While crying, Qiao Muyan nodded her head.

Her love, before it even began, had already died in the cradle.

This was the first time she had ever been so serious about liking someone.

Who knew that in the end, this would be the outcome.

She was after all the Qiao family’s precious daughter! To be scolded as shameless!

Chu Tian brought Qiao Muyan to the car, and the driver uncle was naturally curious as he brought home the young lady with a weeping student, giving her a couple of extra glances through the rearview mirror.

"First, wipe your tears," Chu Tian said as she pulled out a few tissues and handed them to Qiao Muyan.

"Muyan, you’re too anxious, how could you go directly to Mr. Song? And besides, these things can’t be rushed; they need to be taken slowly and step by step. Even if Mr. Song had a bit of a good feeling for you, he would still reject you today."

Chu Tian’s voice was very gentle as she continued.

"No man likes a woman who throws herself at him, especially not an outstanding man like Mr. Song."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Muyan stopped crying and suddenly looked up at Chu Tian, grabbing her wrist and asking, "Then what should I do?"

Chu Tian pulled out a tissue and gently wiped the tear marks on Qiao Muyan’s face, sighed, and said, "Actually, for this kind of thing, you should ask my sister for more advice. She has more experience, and I only talk in theory."

"You mean Chu Jin?" Confusion flickered in Qiao Muyan’s eyes, not quite understanding the meaning behind Chu Tian’s words.

"Yes," Chu Tian nodded gently, "My sister and her future brother-in-law are very much in love, and she has his heart firmly in her grasp. In matters of love, she has far more experience than I do. Aren’t you roommates with my sister? You should ask her for advice on such matters; my sister is indeed a winner in love."

Qiao Muyan ceased crying and narrowed her eyes slightly, "Does Chu Jin really have a fiancé already?"

Chu Tian smiled faintly, "Yes, and her future brother-in-law is truly outstanding, rich and handsome, with a good family background. He compares well with Mr. Song; he has eyes only for my sister and is bent on marrying no one but her. Tell me, doesn’t that mean my sister is experienced? Not only is she experienced, but she also understands the hearts of men; otherwise, my future brother-in-law wouldn’t be so utterly bewitched by her."

At these words, a flicker of light passed through Qiao Muyan’s eyes. She was finding Chu Jin more and more incomprehensible, one moment she was chummy with every common man, and the next, she had a rich and handsome fiancé who was said to be on par with Song Shiqin!

Was it truly that Chu Jin was experienced, or was she simply more cunning?

"You really are a fool," Chu Tian poked Qiao Muyan’s forehead disapprovingly and continued, "Not seeking advice from such an outstanding example as my sister. Look where it got you, running headfirst into a wall, right?"

Qiao Muyan bit her lip, pondering Chu Tian’s words and finding more and more that they didn’t add up.

If Chu Jin had such rich experience in love and a deep understanding of men’s hearts, then why hadn’t she guided her clearly?

Moreover, she had consulted Chu Jin before, and it was Chu Jin who supported her proactive pursuit of Song Shiqin! When she had asked to switch seats with Chu Jin, Chu Jin did not stop her either!

Could all this have been deliberately set up by Chu Jin?

Did Chu Jin intentionally want to see her make a fool of herself? She must have known that Song Shiqin would surely insult her!

Was that it?

Qiao Muyan sank into contemplation.

Seeing her like this, Chu Tian handed Qiao Muyan a cup of water, "Here, have some water first."

"Thank you," Qiao Muyan’s voice sounded a bit hoarse.

Chu Tian gave a gentle smile, "What’s there to thank me for? It’s rare for us to hit it off so well. From the first time I saw you, I felt you were particularly kindred, as if maybe we had met many years ago."

Qiao Muyan looked up in surprise and joyfully said, "I feel the same way."

"Maybe it’s what they call fate," Chu Tian pushed her stray bangs behind her ear and continued, "Actually, you don’t need to be too heartbroken. Mr. Song is just like that. He’s not targeting you; I’m afraid that today, except for my sister, he would say the same to anyone else who approached."
