116 What If It Worked?

After speaking, Guo Rou turned around and left without hesitation.

In this world, no one would put up with anyone unconditionally.

Even a husband and wife or a family member will lose patience, let alone friends.

No matter what kind of friendship, no person would be able to withstand overindulging the other person.

Lin Xiaoyu stiffened on the spot as Guo Rou walked away. Her eyes went red as tears of grievance welled up.

Shen Nana saw everything and grinned.

She really arrived at the right time. Lin Xiaoyu was the perfect person for her plan.

Shen Nana also came from an elite family, the Shen family. She knew Lin Xiaoyu of course. She also heard that Lin Xiaoyu sided with the Medical Department when they were in conflict with the Logistics Department. This made a lot of soldiers unhappy with her.

Shen Nana slowly walked towards Lin Xiaoyu.

Gu Yan had just returned from training. She proceeded to remain in the dorms, so she could answer some practice questions. She had to study everything by herself, and there were a lot of subjects.

Even with the knowledge from her previous life, she still needed to allot some time for studying. Nevertheless, she wished she had more time.

But the situation should improve when the training camp is finished. She will have plenty of time to review by then.

On the other hand, Shen Jiayi was very worried. She nervously picked her clothes and said, "Gu Yan, I thought about it. I still don't think I'm good enough. I've never sung in front of several people before. I'm worried that I can't sing well. How about I just don't go?"

"How do you know you can't if you don't try?" Gu Yan didn't even look up and simply continued writing.

Shen Jiayi was so nervous just thinking about singing in front of all those people tomorrow.

She couldn't eat nor sleep.

For a long while, Gu Yan didn't hear Shen Jiayi's voice.

When she raised her head, she discovered Shen Jiayi's face looked pale.

Gu Yan said softly and patiently, "Jiayi, it's pretty normal to be nervous right now. Everyone would feel anxious when facing a challenge for the first time. But you can't give up such an opportunity just because you're nervous. Think about it. So what if you can't sing that well on the spot? Would people laugh at you? You don't know them anyways. Let them laugh! But have you thought about what would happen if you succeeded instead?"

Her entire life would definitely change. The haze would be lifted, and the rays of the sun would pass through the clouds, illuminating the path ahead.

Sometimes, the difference between heaven and hell was just a single thought.

Shen Jiayi felt motivated upon hearing the words.

She had loved singing ever since she was young. Before returning to the province, she would tend cattle while singing.

Shen Jiayi clenched her fist. "Gu Yan… can I do it?"

"Of course, you can!" Gu Yan expressed firmly. "Gold will always shine, but you've got to give it the chance to shine. Jade too needs to be polished to become vibrant! Jiayi, you're the gold covered in dust and the unrefined jade. Trust me. When you make that first step, you will find that your entire life will open up!"
