CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 456: YOU’RE TARGETING ME!

"Great!!!" The boys in Class 1 shouted loudly as they clapped with resounding vigor!

The girls in the class also replied with enthusiasm, their interest piqued as they turned to look at Zhen Yu. They too were curious what other hidden talents the graceful and proper city top scorer might possess that she had not yet revealed!

Zhen Yu had locked eyes with the instructor as soon as her name was called and glared at him fiercely! Once the instructor on that side finally took a break from speaking, Zhen Yu stood up amid the cheers of her classmates!

However, she didn’t stand to sing, but instead retorted coldly: "Not good! Instructor, you’re singling me out!"

The crowd fell silent at her words! But the male instructor in charge of Class 1 wasn’t the least bit annoyed. He chuckled and replied: "Zhen Yu, your choice of words isn’t quite appropriate! Haha! How could this be called singling out? This is called ’value’!"

"Nonsense, why?!" Zhen Yu almost spoke disrespectfully to the instructor! She quickly changed her words and then smoothly deflected for herself, "Why do you ’value’ only me? I haven’t made any ’remarkable’ contributions!"

"How come you haven’t?! It’s because of your enthusiastic involvement that our Class 1 students are so passionate about morning runs!"

Zhen Yu: "..."

Fine, there’s no arguing with you!

Admitting defeat, Zhen Yu didn’t want to engage in any more specious debates, so she stiffly declared: "I can’t sing!"

Her words had hardly fallen when someone from Class 2 suddenly stood up! Then a sweet female voice rang out: "Reporting, Instructor! Zhen Yu is lying! She was part of the vocal class in the Affiliated School!"

"Hmm! Very well! Take a seat," the instructor from Class 2 nodded with a blank expression.

It was unclear exactly what his ’very well’ was praising...

---

But Gu Qing didn’t care about all that! She sat down with a sweet smile, her heart feeling just as delighted!

After a weekend passed, Gu Qing had made up her mind! From now on, she would oppose Zhen Yu in every aspect!

Only by upsetting Zhen Yu could she feel happy! So, whatever Zhen Yu was reluctant to do, Gu Qing would force her to do! After all, Zhen Yu was an enemy of the Gu Family!

Today’s incident was just the beginning! Being able to expose Zhen Yu’s lie in front of the instructor, and forcing the usually silent Zhen Yu to sing in front of more than a hundred people, was simply too gratifying for Gu Qing!

Even though she knew that Zhen Yu’s singing was decent, she still fantasized! If Zhen Yu messed up the singing, that would be even better!

Zhen Yu, whose cover was blown, glanced coldly at Gu Qing! She briskly changed her statement!

"I don’t want to sing!"

"Then what do you want to do?" The brain of the Class 1 instructor was fast! He immediately twisted the meaning of Zhen Yu’s words and put her on the spot: "It seems that Zhen Yu has some new performance for us! Classmates, why aren’t you all clapping to welcome her!!"

"Clap clap! Clap clap! Clap clap..." The students, all brimming with youthful energy, weren’t necessarily good at everything, but they were the best at egging others on!

---

The thunderous applause spread across the entire sports field, and students from the other four formations turned their heads at the sound.

Han Mingyue sat slouched among the boys, looking worriedly at Zhen Yu. If she wasn’t singing, what else could she do!? Otherwise... He could sing for her!

Thinking so, when the applause thinned, he shyly mustered his courage and stood up! And, struggling with his discomfort, he raised his voice as much as possible: "Reporting, Instructor! I’ll sing a song!"

"Instructor! My performance requires your cooperation!" Zhen Yu suddenly interrupted Han Ming in the middle of his sentence, her voice booming over his and stifling the rest of his statement!

Since the majority of the students present didn’t hear Han Ming’s words clearly, most of the attention lingered on him for only a moment before landing squarely on what Zhen Yu had said!

"Wow! Quite a cocky thing to say!"

"Right?! What does she even want to perform? Daring to ask an instructor to play along?!"

"Just watch and we’ll find out! Whether she’s a mule or a horse, she’ll have to be walked to show her stuff!"

The instructor of Class 2 gave Han Mingyue a wink, signaling him to sit down for now. Han Mingyue, in silence, nodded and complied. But the instructor of Class 1 was now more intrigued by Zhen Yu!

"Oh? What exactly do you want to perform?!"

"Combat!" Zhen Yu said, clear-cut and stepped out from the line! Moving to a spacious area, she bowed to the instructor, then humbly said, "Please go easy on me, sir!"

Most of the students had this kind of expression!

"???"

Even Han Mingyue was stunned for a moment before realizing what Zhen Yu was implying!

She actually wanted to spar with the instructor! Could she... win?

——

Han Mingyue’s concern was clearly unnecessary! Because Zhen Yu never intended to win!

The men in the military are tough as nails! Did she think she could take them down like street thugs, picking them off one by one, two in a pair?

Dream on!! Don’t end up not even knowing how you dug your own grave!

With the two of them starting to spar, nearby instructors were drawn over. Even those far away wished they had binoculars to get a clearer view of the action!

It was clear to Zhen Yu that the instructor of Class 1 was well-trained, and his strength was certainly far greater than hers! Not only did he show mercy as she asked, but he also clung to her incessantly in the fight! He just wouldn’t let her get away with just a few punches and kicks before calling it quits!

Zhen Yu had to muster her energy and dealt with a dozen more exchanges.

Finally, with the words "Let’s call it quits!" from the Class 1 instructor, the bout came to an end.

One by one, the students slurped up their drool, picked up their eyeballs from the ground, reattached their jaws, and tried to compose their facial expressions.

Zhen Yu, rubbing her sorely hit arm, grudgingly said, "Thanks for your ’mercy,’ instructor!"

It wasn’t supposed to be so tough! Too bad she didn’t know why she set off this monstrous instructor, who kept looking for chances to pick on her!

The Class 1 instructor chuckled heartily, "No need to thank me! Fall back into line!"

But Zhen Yu stood still.

"Instructor! Since this is a bout of songs, it’s only right to give and take! As a representative of Class 1, I hope that Gu Qing would also represent Class 2 with a performance!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qing exploded like a porcupine on the spot!

She immediately stood up, fuming and said, "Zhen Yu! You’re targeting me!"

"Gu Qing, your words aren’t quite appropriate! Haha! How could this be called targeting you? This is ’nepotism’! After all, your stepmother is my biological mother!"

Zhen Yu had barely said "stepmother" when Gu Qing suddenly shrieked, "Stop talking!"
