The young team member looked at Jane Sampson with a tinge of heartache. Goddess Sampton was good at everything; not being able to shoot well was understandable, but what was detestable was that Lieutenant Johnson didnât have a shred of compassion, actually leaving Goddess Sampton behind for extra training alone.
Among the girls here, Jane Sampson undoubtedly took over the dormitory sanitation work for this entire week.
At 5:30, Lieutenant Johnson left Jane Sampson and his subordinates at the shooting range, taking the other seven with him.
"Goddess Sampton, come on! No problem, take it slow!" As soon as Lieutenant Johnson left, the young team member seized the moment while the cameraman wasnât paying attention to secretly cheer Jane Sampson on.
Jane Sampson grimaced and nodded her head, "Iâm sorry, Iâve made you work overtime."
The young team member smiled and shook his head, then he went over the key points with Jane Sampson again and said, "Actually, just now your posture and everything seemed fine, so you should check if itâs your breathing or something else thatâs off when you fire the gun, which might be causing your hand to shake the moment you shoot."
At first, the young team member thought someone as hardworking and clever as Goddess Sampton should learn anything quickly, so he taught Jane Sampson very patiently.
But later...
Until the sky turned dark...
Until he heard Jane Sampsonâs stomach growling again and again...
The young team member couldnât find the words to comfort himself or Jane Sampson anymore. In the end, he looked up at the bright moon above and said, "Goddess Sampton, shootingâs something that relies on talent. Youâre so exceptional; God has given your talents to music and acting. The Lord is fair, so you werenât given the talent for shooting."
It was already 10 p.m.!!!!
She practiced all night!
Great, Jane Sampson finally wasnât scoring zero anymore, with ten bullets she could now hit half of them!
Never mind if the scores were in single digits or whatever, at least, isnât that progress?
The young team member called Lieutenant Johnson, and hearing the equally despairing sigh from the other end, he couldnât help but feel extra sympathy for his camp commander who was desperate for success.
Actually, Lieutenant Johnson had it tough, too, right?
"Forget it, let her go back and rest," said Lieutenant Johnson, hanging up the phone in despair.
The young team member breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. He was rather worried Lieutenant Johnson would be stubborn, making Jane Sampson practice all night long. Teaching all night wasnât an issue for him; being so close to Goddess Sampton, he would feel blissful even if it was all night. He was worried that Goddess Sampton, being a delicate girl, wouldnât be able to handle it.
"Goddess Sampton, the commander says you can go back now. Tomorrow morning, be at the dining hall for breakfast before 6:30," the young team member said.
Upon hearing this, Jane Sampson let out a long sigh of relief.
"Letâs eat, letâs eat! Iâm starving!" Jane Sampson took off her gear and was ready to run off.
"Umm..." the young team member called out to stop Jane Sampson, "The dining hall is closed; thereâs no meal to be had after mealtime."
!!!
It was as if a bolt from the blue had struck.
"Am I going to be left hungry tonight?" Jane Sampson was utterly shocked. "Are you guys going to be hungry like me tonight as well?"
Guilt washed over Jane Sampson as she looked at the young team member and the cameramen, "Iâm sorry for dragging you down."
"No, no, no." The master cameraman, fearing that she might cry from guilt, quickly explained, "We have food! We have food! We have instant noodles in our dormitory! And we can use money to buy stuff at the guardian teamâs convenience store."
