Chapter 55 Training
Given Qiao Zhiyu's background and strength, only Xie Wenyu, who is also the heir of the Four Divine Beasts family, his uncle and the school principal, can compete with him.
If Xie Wenyu was willing to help take care of Zhizhi, he would feel much more at ease.
Yu Yao had a pleading look on his face, hoping that the other party would relent for the sake of their friendship over the years, but he didn't hold out much hope.
After all, Xie Wenyu looks gentle and easy to talk to, but in fact, if he doesn't want to do something, no matter who forces him, it will be useless.
"Okay." Xie Wenyu's expression didn't change much, as if he was just helping a friend with a small task.
Yu Yao's face lit up with joy, fearing that he would go back on his word: "Then it's a deal! You can't let Qiao Zhiyu bully Zhizhi!"
He had accomplished a "big thing" in his heart, and his steps became lighter.
Until he saw the two people coming out of the training room in front, his face unconsciously sank again.
Yu Yu and Sheng Jiayi also trained for the entire afternoon.
As soon as she came out, she saw her brother coming out happily. It was obvious who he was going to see, but the other person froze his expression the moment he saw her.
Yu Yu couldn't help feeling a little depressed.
During this period since school started, Yu Yao's attitude towards her has been very strange. He seemed to be avoiding her most of the time, and even refused to ride in the same car with her when going home on weekends.
But she had no idea how she had offended the other party. It was Fang Qin and his gang who bullied Yu Zhi last time, but she had never seen him take his anger out on her like this.
"Ayao..." She walked forward and shouted rather aggrievedly, "Why have you ignored me recently?"
Yu Yao had been feeling uncomfortable ever since he saw her "wonderful expression" that was like changing her face in the cafeteria last time.
The sister he grew up with suddenly turned into a dark and gloomy person that he didn't recognize at all. He found it hard to accept and didn't know how to face her again.
"...No." Yu Yao didn't want to expose his "family shame" in public, so he asked as a matter of routine, "How is your training?"
"I'm still a little tired, but I can hold on." Yu Yu pretended to be energetic.
"Well... that's good." Yu Yao nodded perfunctorily, pulled Xie Wenyu and hurried away.
Yu Yu was left standing there, barely able to catch his breath, with a huge panic rising in his heart.
Why hasn’t anything been going her way lately?
Sheng Jiayi could see the conflict in the expressions between the brother and sister, and asked in confusion, "What's going on with Yu Yao?"
Yu Yu's shoulders drooped helplessly, and he said sadly, "I don't know what's going on. It seems like A Yao suddenly doesn't like me anymore."
Sheng Jiayi frowned and could only comfort her with a few words.
But he no longer subconsciously blamed Yu Zhi as he did before.

During this week, Yu Zhi went to the training room every afternoon to train with Qiao Zhiyu.
When Qiao Zhiyu was training alone in the evening, she would also run over to learn theoretical knowledge and watch.
Qiao Zhiyu's attitude towards her slowed down almost visibly.
"Tighten your waist." He held Yu Zhi's waist with one of his large hands and supported her gun-holding hand with the other. "Lift it up a little more and aim the crosshairs directly at the target within 500 meters."
Yu Zhi pulled the trigger, and the specially made dye bullet was fired, leaving a small colorful dot in the middle of the portrait target.
She turned back happily, and the end of her high ponytail brushed lightly against Qiao Zhiyu's chin, causing a tingling sensation.
"Hit the bull's eye—" The girl looked a little proud and playful, looking at Qiao Zhiyu behind her as if asking for credit.
However, after praising her on the first day, Qiao Zhiyu became a high-pressure "parent".
"Don't be proud." He looked at Yu Zhi with a smile in his eyes, "You have to be able to hit the target stably for ten consecutive shots."
Yu Zhi curled her lips unhappily and rolled her eyes at him quickly when he wasn't paying attention.
But Qiao Zhiyu still caught this little action quickly. He laughed a little and gently patted her ponytail as a punishment: "Be serious."
Yu Zhi held his breath and stared intently at the crosshairs in the scope.
“Pah-pah-pah-pah…”
Ten bullets were fired in succession, her forearm muscles tensed and the muzzle of the gun was aimed very steadily.
All were within target range.
Yu Zhi put down the gun, crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Qiao Zhiyu with a rather "provocative" look, like a little lion who was about to challenge the authority of the old king.
If I don't let her show off her skills today, I'm afraid the little tail behind the girl will be so proud that it will rise to the sky.
Qiao Zhiyu walked over her, picked up the gun, and aimed at the target at a thousand meters.
"Watch carefully."
He simply closed his eyes, aimed at the position based on his memory and instinct, and fired ten shots in rapid succession.
Yu Zhi looked at the target and found that all ten shots had hit the same spot in the center of the portrait target. There was only one colored mark on the target.
"Wow..." She exclaimed subconsciously, "You are so awesome!"
"You only know this now?" Qiao Zhiyu couldn't help but want to tease her.
Yu Zhi flattered him generously: "Of course I knew it a long time ago. You look majestic, domineering, and brave..."
Instead, it made Qiao Zhiyu blush.
Why do I feel like Yu Zhi is making fun of me?
If Yu Zhi knew what he was thinking, she would probably just nod in agreement.
She was not provoking the other party at all. She was clearly giving him a legitimate stage to perform.
As a man, how can you not be proud? And recognizing their strength is the best spiritual reward.

In the evening, Yu Zhi was on her way back to the dormitory.
Xie Wenyu also just came out of the training ground, wearing a loose training suit that he had never worn before, and the smooth lines of his biceps were clearly visible.
He seemed to have just completed an extremely intense training session, with beads of sweat dripping down his hair.
He wiped his hair casually with the sweat-absorbing towel in his hand, but it made his hair messy and diluted his sense of order.
"Brother Wen Yu." Yu Zhi greeted him politely. Yu Yao had previously told her to ask Xie Wen Yu to take care of her, and the two would greet each other whenever they met.
Xie Wenyu raised his eyes to look at her, his brows relaxed, and he asked her with a faint smile: "Just finished training?"
Yu Zhi nodded and said "hmm".
Xie Wenyu slowed down his pace and adjusted it to the same speed as Yu Zhi.
"Is there anything difficult to adapt to Qiao Zhiyu?" he asked casually.
Yu Zhi shook her head again: "Nothing."
In fact, Xie Wenyu knew it without asking. He had seen the two of them getting along quite well more than once. Yu Yao was simply worrying too much.
Although he should feel more at ease, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Since Yu Zhi and Qiao Zhiyu got along well, there was no need for him to take care of anything.
When they reached the fork in the road between the male and female dormitories, Xie Wenyu still followed Yu Zhi slowly.
She gave him a questioning look.
"I'll take you to the dormitory building." Xie Wenyu said very naturally.
