Chapter 317: Chapter 317

Wan Chu’er got out of the car, ignored Shen Qian and Brother Lishan staring at each other, just took off her down jacket, wore a sports suit, and started to do jumping and warming up exercises.

Then she immediately caught Shen Qian’s attention.

Shen Qian: "..." I’m here to fight, not to exercise.

She snorted and patiently waited for Wan Chu’er.

After a while, Wan Chu’er walked up to Shen Qian, positioned herself, and said, "Alright, let’s fight."

Such a nonchalant tone irritated Shen Qian greatly, she glared sharply at Wan Chu’er and emphasized again:

"The loser must back off!"

Wan Chu’er smiled, and the next second, she made her move, kicking at Shen Qian.

What’s the point of talking so much? If fighting is just a fight, you think you can win over Jiang Kechu just like that? Is it that Shen Qian doesn’t regard Jiang Kechu highly, or is Jiang Kechu worth just one fight?

Shen Qian didn’t expect Wan Chu’er to strike as soon as she said fight, and in a burst of anger, she dodged Wan Chu’er and quickly struck back.

So the two of them started fighting, with exchanges back and forth, creating a gusty sound, Wan Chu’er using all her skills, punches creating gusts, and kicks deadly, truly breathtaking.

Brother Lishan watched carefully for a while and then relaxed. Wan Chu’er’s skills were now almost equal to Shen Qian’s. If she played strategically, victory was indeed possible.

As Shen Qian fought more, she felt more disheartened. She didn’t expect that in just a few months, Wan Chu’er’s skills had improved so much, making it difficult for her to subdue Wan Chu’er, thus she became more serious and composed.

Meanwhile, Wan Chu’er was there to test her level and spared no effort, making their fight even more spectacular.

Seeing them fight got boring after a while, Brother Lishan picked up a stick and started poking ants on the ground.

After an hour of fighting, Wan Chu’er barely managed to knock Shen Qian down with a kick, and then she just stood there catching her breath, without approaching further.

After such a long fight, both were exhausted. Shen Qian lay on the ground, trying to get up but felt weak in her limbs, and eventually just lay there furiously staring at Wan Chu’er without moving.

Wan Chu’er looked at Shen Qian, saw she couldn’t get up, smirked, and then turned to walk towards the car without discussing who won or lost.

Brother Lishan quickly followed, and the two got into the car; Brother Lishan started the car and drove off, leaving Shen Qian alone.

This match was won by Wan Chu’er, but she didn’t say anything, didn’t tell Shen Qian not to go after Jiang Kechu anymore, didn’t mock her, she didn’t even mention winning.

It was precisely Wan Chu’er’s casual attitude that made Shen Qian feel even more helpless and disrespected, feeling that Wan Chu’er didn’t take this fight seriously at all.

Shen Qian secretly resolved to give herself another month; next time she would definitely beat Wan Chu’er to the ground thoroughly.

On their way, as they drove, Wan Chu’er lazily smiled from the passenger seat:

"This time it’s Shen Qian, next time my goal is to defeat you, Brother Lishan."

Brother Lishan hummed indifferently, focusing on driving.

The next day when school started, Wan Chu’er got to school early, returned to her dorm, and tidied up a bit. Although she was mostly a day student now, she still kept her dorm bed.

After she cleaned up the common area and her own space, near lunchtime, Mai Qiqi and Lin Yufei both arrived.

As soon as Lin Yufei entered the dormitory and saw the shiny clean floor, she shouted excitedly, "Chuchu, I miss you so much!" and rushed over to hug Wan Chu’er.

Wan Chu’er dodged and avoided her, then casually picked up a cushion and stuffed it into her arms, causing Lin Yufei to continuously complain.

Mai Qiqi smiled, opened her bag, and took out two boxes, handing one to each of them.

"I traveled abroad during winter break, these are little gifts for you two."

Upon opening them, they found delicate little bottles of perfume inside.

Lin Yufei became excited and rushed to hug Mai Qiqi, "Qiqi, I love you so much."

She couldn’t wait to open the lid and spray some, and immediately a wave of fragrance filled the small dormitory.

However, Wan Chu’er just touched the perfume bottle, smiled, and thanked her; she usually didn’t like to wear perfume.

After being happy for a while, Lin Yufei suggested, "When we graduate, let’s go on a meaningful graduation trip abroad together."

Mai Qiqi replied, "Sure, I’m up for it."

Wan Chu’er smiled and nodded, but in her heart, she thought about when she could find time to travel thoroughly in Country H.

After the semester started, Wan Chu’er’s life returned to normal, usually commuting between school and home, and occasionally visiting the Jiang Family on weekends to see Mrs. Jiang.

However, she hadn’t seen Lin Jiayi and Jiang Lirong since then at the Jiang Family’s house; later Jiang Xiaoxiao quietly told her that her brother had interfered.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also told her that Lin Jiayi had joined Simon’s company and became Simon’s assistant, starting a couple-run business model.

She didn’t know that Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn’t told her something else - that on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Jiayi had brought gifts to their house, and it seemed like he was still clinging to old affections, which disgusted her immensely.

After learning about it, Jiang Kechu instructed his sister not to tell Wan Chu’er and personally had Chen Xiran and Lin Jiayi sent out of the country.

Later, Shen Qian came to challenge Wan Chu’er to a fight twice.

After defeating Shen Qian that time, Wan Chu’er no longer had any interest in fighting with Shen Qian; she continued her training, believing that in just a month or two, Shen Qian could not have improved much more than her.

So each time Shen Qian came, Wan Chu’er would send Brother Lishan to block her.

After two times, whatever Brother Lishan did, Shen Qian never came again.

Jiang Kechu was still busy; he often had missions requiring him to be away, hard to find, but whenever he was in Beijing, he would visit Wan Chu’er almost every one or two days.

He was still against Wan Chu’er joining the Special Action Department, but he didn’t hesitate to guide her in skills when necessary.

Time passed quickly, and soon it was July, and the recruitment assessment for the Special Action Department was drawing close.

This month, Wan Chu’er was incredibly busy, not only preparing for the final exams but also taking advantage of the last bit of time for learning and training. Fortunately, Sister-in-law Zhu was there; she made various delicious foods each day to keep her energy up, so she didn’t lose weight like last year when she was writing programs.

Although Wan Chu’er was tense, studying and training hard as always, her resolve to join the Special Action Department wasn’t as firm as before, shaken by Jiang Kechu’s opposition.

Should she really join the Special Action Department?

It’s not easy to get in, nor to leave the Special Action Department; once in, you’re bound for life, never truly free, having to report everything to the higher-ups, all actions under command.

Is this the unfree life she wants?
