Back Then, I Adored You

It seemed that Gu Yusheng didn’t like Qin Yang’s nagging, so he just responded to him indifferently with an “okay.” He hid behind the curtains and held the gun at the window.

“Captain Gu, are you sure you can do it? I know you were absolutely the best sniper, never missed a target while you were in the military. I know you were able to handle everything when you were on a mission, but that was two years ago. You haven’t fired a gun in two years. Are you sure you can do it?”

Gu Yusheng didn’t respond to Qin Yang. He held the gun out and moved it a bit to point at the target. He looked like he was estimating something and stopped moving after about a few seconds. He said casually to Qin Yang, “I’ll give it a try.”

“Give it a try?” These words enraged Qin Yang. He said, “Captain Gu, this is not a game. You need to make me feel good about this decision. Your shot will become my shot. If—”

Before Qin Yang finished talking, Gu Yusheng loaded his gun at lightning speed and pulled the trigger. With a bang sound, Qin Yang immediately shut his mouth. He vaguely heard a gunshot through the noise cancelling headphones that lasted for a while. There was a second gun shot before the first one had completely disappeared, then there was the first gun shot mixing in with it. It gave them an illusion that three gun shots had been fired at the same time.

Qin Yang didn’t recover from the shock until the gunshots had completely faded. He rushed to the window and stared at the scene below him for a while before he turned around to take a look at Gu Yusheng. He said, “Captain Gu, good job. The time between the three gunshots was so short that I couldn’t even tell. You were right on target. This is crazy. You not only shot exactly at their wrists, but also the very center of their wrists.”

Gu Yusheng didn’t respond to Qin Yang’s high praise. He only looked down and stared at the gun in his hand.

Qin Zhi’ai noticed Gu Yusheng rubbing the gun with his fingers. Gu Yusheng seemed to really love the gun.

“Captain Gu, thanks to you, we got all three of them and saved the hostages. Thank you, thank you very much,” Qin Yang said.

As Qin Yang repeatedly thanked Gu Yusheng, Gu Yusheng slowly moved his eyes away from the gun. He stared at the window for a few seconds and shoved the gun back at Qin Yang. He turned around and walked out in strides without saying anything.

As he passed by Qin Zhi’ai, she suddenly came back to herself. She took out the noise cancelling earplugs and put them on the table. She followed Gu Yusheng out.

Gu Yusheng suddenly stopped when Qin Zhi’ai was two steps behind him. He neither turned around, nor talked to her. He only said, “Qin Yang, can you take her to the B2 parking lot if possible. I need to run now.”
