Chapter 512: Chapter 351: Robust figure, Narcissistic heart (Part 1)_2

"Yeah." Xia Zeyang echoed, "If it were a few months ago and someone were to tell me that Youlan would change so drastically, I would have definitely given them a look of incredulity." Playboy, pampered rich kid, the reputation Youlan had back then was not exactly praiseworthy, and by association, those of us who were close to him carried the same label.

But that’s not important.

What’s important is that all these changes began the moment we met the Mu Lin.

Our life trajectories dramatically transformed because of that.

"We’re constantly chasing after Mu Lin’s footsteps." Yang Yuebin’s eyes seemed somewhat vacant, "Sometimes we think we’ve managed to close the gap between us and her. But shortly after, we realised that gap has only widened."

Such a feeling truly drives us helpless and frustrated.

However.

"Isn’t it great?" A cool voice resonated in their ears, carrying its unique flair. Yue Qiao rarely contributes to their discussions, but she occasionally made a few small remarks, "Think of who you were, look at your progress now, all these changes are for the better." Everyone’s been changing, but unfortunately, the person who initiated those changes was not present.

In the beginning, Yue Qiao really looked down on these pretentious, privileged rich kids around her. But now she has realised, once you look past the mystifying facades, they aren’t so different from her.

What Yue Qiao is referring to, of course, is their hearts.

Qiaoqiao is right." Upon hearing Yue Qiao’s words, Zhou Yicen agreed, his face breaking into a smile, "Isn’t the guy standing before us the perfect example?"

Behold this handsome figure in front of them. If women were to see Jing Youlan in this state, they’d undoubtedly fall even harder for him.

Question is whether he will be capable of fending them off!

That was probably the one thing they could all agree on.

As the shooting test ended, Jing Youlan walked back to the Instructor’s side, his posture rigid. He had unmistakably become a true soldier.

"Good job." Looking at Jing Youlan, the Instructor noted the significant improvement made by him and his team since they joined; they had rapidly advanced in both close-quarter combat and long-distance sniping. In a few short months, they had risen to be the leaders of their team.

"Keep up the good work." The Instructor lightly patted Jing Youlan’s shoulder, smiled at him, and said, "Return to the team." His tone moderated, devoid of his usual harshness.

"Thank you," Jing Youlan respectfully nodded and walked towards Yang Yuebin and the others. However, his normally staid expression broke into a sudden smirk as he proudly raised his chin at them.

How about that, I’m pretty cool, huh?

Seeing this, the others couldn’t help but laugh. Just moments ago they were praising how mature and handsome he had become but in no time, his demeanor shifted.

True that, a person’s nature doesn’t change instantly.

Seeing the mysterious smiles on their faces, Jing Youlan was completely befuddled. Why are they laughing? He subconsciously stroked his handsome face, wondering if there was something on it.

"Next up, Xia Zeyang." Just as Jing Youlan was about to ask the others, the Instructor’s voice echoed again. Xia Zeyang took to the field.

"What were you guys laughing about just now?" asked Jing Youlan, while admiring Xia’s bold posture.

"Do you really want to know?" Yang Yuebin shot him a knowing look.

"Duh," Jing Youlan swept him a glance. He didn’t see the point in asking if he didn’t want to know, it was a waste of saliva; he hadn’t even fully replaced the water lost during the test.

Looking at him, Zhou Yicen continued, "We were just talking about you." His voice was soft, a smile curling at the corners of his lips, "Saying how handsome you looked just now, unlike the you we used to know."

"..." Upon hearing this, Jing Youlan’s face darkened, "Why do I sense a hint of prejudice in your words?" He raised an eyebrow, revealing a cryptic smirk, "Also, when have I not been cool? I’ve always been this handsome, okay?"

Wow, talk about being narcissistic.

Yang Yuebin and Zhou Yicen rolled their eyes in unison. Couldn’t this guy be a little more humble? All of a sudden, they realized that Jing Youlan wasn’t much like Mr. Jing in demeanor, but he did bear some resemblance to Mr. Jing’s second brother.

Of course, only just a smidgen.

After all, Jing’s second brother only had bouts of vanity occasionally, not to the degree of constant narcissism.

Yue Qiao glanced at Jing Youlan, a faint smile playing on her lips, then shifted her gaze to the robust figure in the distance.

They’ve long been prepared to never give up until they’ve achieved their goals.

Soon, her name was called. Tossing her chin up slightly, her eyes filled with icy determination, she slowly strode towards the shooting range.

She checked the gun, loaded ammunition, aimed, controlled her breath; at the Instructor’s go signal, she dashed forward, her agility comparable to the boys.

Even though she was a woman, the only woman in their six-man unit, no guy in the unit dared to underestimate her. Yue Qiao’s presence served as a relentless prod, reminding them daily that being outdone by a man was one thing, but falling short compared to a woman would be even more embarrassing.

No way!
