In this era, photographs were rare. Most of the pictures were black and white.
Gu Yan never had her photo taken before either, and she had never been to the capital as well. Hence, it was no surprise Bai Weiyang failed to recognize her.
At one point, Bai Weiyang did try to ask Zhang Lan what Gu Yan looked like. However, Zhang Lan disliked Gu Yan, so she casually responded that Gu Yan was hideous and dark-skinned, whose figure resembled that of a bamboo pole.
Much worse, the girl didn’t even get to attend Primary Academy and was slaving away at home. Naturally, Bai Weiyang didn’t feel threatened at all.
Bai Weiyang glanced at the faces of the remaining female soldiers, then she smiled at Guo Rou. “Guo Rou, I heard your results weren’t bad at the shooting petition. Why don’t you seem very happy?”
“I’m not unhappy.” Bai Weiyang was rather polite to Bai Weiyang. “mander Tang called us, so we are heading over.”
Bai Weiyang lifted the corners of her mouth a bit and nodded. She didn’t bother to acknowledge Shen Jiayi and leisurely swept her gaze past Gu Yan.
In truth, she wanted to ask who was the female soldier who captured Lin Haoran’s attention!
Nevertheless, she didn’t have the courage to say it out loud for fear of being disliked by Lin Haoran. It might even push him to overthink.
Other people might be unaware of what was actually taking place right now, but Gu Yan had witnessed everything with her own eyes. She sneered coldly inside.
‘Bai Weiyang, long time no see.’
‘Since you’re so interested in me, how can I not satisfy you?’
Harboring such thoughts, Gu Yan, who was about to brush past the latter, suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked at Lin Haoran who seemed to be deep in thought. “Captain Lin, is Lin Xiaoyu’s face alright?”
Lin Haoran’s body paused briefly. The emotions he had been suppressing for a while began to get out of hand a little. “She’s fine. How about your hand?”
Although he usually behaved warm and gentle towards other female soldiers, his words just now made Bai Weiyang’s ears hypersensitive. Without a warning, she turned around and looked at Lin Haoran.
Lin Haoran frowned and said nothing.
Gu Yan waved her bandaged hand and responded with a cheerful tone, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern. I just participated in the petition. I didn’t encounter any problems at all.”
Her hand was injured. Even so, she still attended the shooting petition and got an extremely good score…
S-she turned out to be Gu Yan!
This time, Bai Weiyang couldn’t skillfully conceal the shock on her face. She trained her gaze at the beautiful girl with a mixture of fury and astonishment.
‘How is this dark-skinned?!’
‘How is she considered hideous?!’
‘How is she as thin as a bamboo pole!’
When Bai Weiyang came to know about the truth of her birth, she never felt any sense of guilt. After all, she got to enjoy plenty of resources and even received love from everyone around her. She could not help but revel in her luxurious lifestyle.
Hence, she could at least bear with giving Zhang Lan some amount of money each year, even if she despised the latter.
Of course, she still had to acknowledge Zhang Lan’s efforts in the past. Without such an incident, she wouldn’t be living her current life.
As a consequence, after confirming the beautiful soldier was Gu Yan, she ended up dumbfounded.
There was not enough time to hide her expression at all.
Currently, Bai Weiyang was merely an 18-year-old or a 19-year-old girl. She wasn’t as calculative as her adult self prior to Gu Yan’s rebirth. Nevertheless, she was diligently walking towards the same path.
Gu Yan took two steps back in shock and hid next to Guo Rou. She asked with confusion, “rade, why are you using such terrifying eyes to look at me? I don’t seem to know you, right?!”
“You!” Bai Weiyang almost spilled everything. She immediately noticed the weight of silence around her. When she turned around, she discovered Lin Haoran was staring at her with a strange yet surprised look.
This was her first time losing her posure in front of Lin Haoran.
Bai Weiyang frowned.
“Bai Weiyang, why are you scaring Gu Yan for no reason?”
Gu Yan raised the corners of her lips subtly.
‘Bai Weiyang, I can’t tear off your hypocritical mask right now, but there is no need to rush. We’ll take it slow.’
‘I will make you lose the things you care about the most, one by one.’
Please enjoy this process.
