After all, he retired due to injury and didn't ask the military to arrange his transfer; he actively made a living on his own, so he should support him.
“Okay, I’ll write down the address for you later,” Lu Zhengjun said.
Thanks!
"Second brother, brother-in-law, what are you two whispering about? Come and have some tea!" Qiao Xinruo called out, inviting the two to join the group.
This gathering was very enjoyable.
Back home, when the topic of Lu Zhengjun being able to hear Leng Yingying's thoughts came up, everyone agreed that their previous analysis was correct.
"Now it all depends on the relationship between Xinruo and that kid Zhou Jinglan. If Zhou Jinglan can hear Yingzi's thoughts after they get married, then our deduction will be correct!" Qiao Gaoyang said.
"Second brother, stop worrying about me and think about your relationship with Shadow first." The siblings started arguing again.
And today it can indeed be proven that Zhou Jinglan did not hear Leng Yingying's inner thoughts.
"Don't worry, it'll be soon..." Qiao Gaoyang raised an eyebrow, revealing a smile that showed he had everything under control.
"Oh?" His family members sensed something was wrong when they saw his expression.
"Has something happened that we don't know about? Why are you so confident now?"
Qiao Gaoyang hinted to Lu Zhengjun not to say anything, as he wanted to show off a bit, since his older brother and sister had often teased him at home for his slow progress in pursuing Shadow.
"Don't ask, just watch!" Qiao Gaoyang deliberately acted mysteriously.
The following weekend, he invited Leng Yingying to the shooting range.
"What's the point of going on a date? Why don't we continue our training? Once I'm done, I'll have to go and spar with Lu Zhengjun again. I refuse to believe I can't beat him even once!" Leng Yingying said fiercely, her eyes filled with nothing but the desire to defeat Lu Zhengjun.
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
Why can't you get over this hurdle?
“You can train, but Lu Zhengjun can’t continue training? Even if you both improve, you might not be able to beat him, right?” Qiao Gaoyang said.
"Is he really that hardworking?" Leng Yingying couldn't believe that there was someone even more hardworking than her.
"Otherwise, do you think he won the title of 'King of Soldiers' just because of his looks?"
"That's true, but dates aren't very fun. Let's focus on our training instead. You definitely need to improve—"
"Shooting range, I found a shooting range this time, I'm planning to go there for a date." Qiao Gaoyang originally planned to give Leng Yingying a surprise, but she didn't agree to go out for a long time, so he had no choice but to tell her about the shooting range first.
"A shooting range?" Sure enough, Leng Yingying immediately became interested. "Interesting, let's go, let's go have some fun."
The speed at which she changed her expression made Qiao Gaoyang wonder if, even if it wasn't him but someone else, she would have agreed so readily to invite Leng Yingying to the shooting range!
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
"Come on, what are you waiting for? Let's go get some food after we're done at the shooting range." Leng Yingying was even more enthusiastic than Qiao Gaoyang now.
"Don't rush, the shooting range is in the suburbs, you have to drive there," Qiao Gaoyang said, as he drove his family car over.
The shooting range is in a rather remote location, but business is booming. Many people in the city know about this place, and not only on weekends, but also on weekdays, many people drive here specifically to have fun.
This place mainly deals in bows and arrows, and there are professional instructors who can provide teaching services, so even if you are a complete novice, you won't be completely lost.
"Walk!"
The two went inside. Qiao Gaoyang went to find out how to make the purchases, while Leng Yingying looked around and waited for him to finish.
At this moment, a woman dressed as a cleaner noticed them, especially Leng Yingying.
But the woman did not go forward. Instead, she tried to avoid Leng Yingying's gaze and secretly observed from a blind spot.
"She came with this man?"
"That man looked like he was wealthy. Did they drive here? Just the two of them?"
The woman kept repeating herself, and her words always revolved around Leng Yingying.
After Qiao Gaoyang finished his formalities, he came over to find Leng Yingying. The two walked together towards the shooting range, chatting as they went.
"By the way, your promotion report should have come through by now, right? Should I call you Battalion Commander Leng now?" Qiao Gaoyang asked.
Leng Yingying had already been promoted to deputy battalion commander, and this time she led a team to participate in the encirclement and suppression mission and performed very well, so she was promoted again.
"You're quite well-informed. My superior said I'm going to be promoted to battalion commander, but the official document hasn't come down yet, though it should be soon," Leng Yingying said, as the two of them went over to pick out bows and arrows.
The woman was wiping here and there with a rag, seemingly working, but in reality, her attention was entirely focused on Leng Yingying and their conversation.
Leng Yingying got promoted and is going to be a battalion commander?
How could a woman do so well in the military?
The woman gripped the rag, her expression gradually contorting with anger, envy, and scheming. She continued to lie in wait, hoping to learn more about Leng Yingying.
But Leng Yingying and Qiao Gaoyang had already chosen their bows and arrows, and the two stopped chatting and focused their attention on shooting.
"Need any guidance?" A coach came over, trying to offer some help and assistance.
"No need, I'm a professional at this," Leng Yingying said confidently, standing there and drawing her bow.
The coach could tell from her posture that she had been trained; her form was very standard.
"call out--"
The arrow sliced through the air and hit the bullseye perfectly.
"Beautiful!" The coach clapped and praised, "No wonder you're a professional, you're really amazing. May I ask what you do?"
This was the coach's job—to serve the guests—but Leng Yingying didn't seem inclined to engage in much conversation. She simply smiled at the other person and then stopped talking, continuing to shoot arrows.
Qiao Gaoyang's skills weren't as good as Leng Yingying's, but compared to customers with no experience at all, they weren't bad either.
The coach then went over to serve him.
He was a talkative person to begin with, and Leng Yingying, who was having a great time, didn't want to chat, so Qiao Gaoyang started talking to the coach instead.
For example, what other fun things are there at the shooting range? What interesting places are there nearby?
Leng Yingying, who was shooting, suddenly turned around.
As she moved, the cleaning lady immediately turned her head, pretending to be working, and hid her face so that Leng Yingying wouldn't see it.
After a while, Leng Yingying turned around again, and did this several times.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Gaoyang noticed something was amiss, walked over to Leng Yingying, looked her around, and asked, "What were you looking at just now? Is something wrong?"
Leng Yingying shook her head, thinking that she might be overthinking things.
"It's nothing, I just felt like someone was watching me, but I didn't notice anything unusual," Leng Yingying said.
