303 The Bedtime Story

Seven months passed. Yanmei was already 36 weeks pregnant. 

Throughout the pregnancy, Anton convinced Yanmei that it was safe to practice her shooting despite being pregnant. Especially since the firing range at the gun factory was well-ventilated and they produce lead-free ammunition. 

She continued to practice her shooting with real bullets up until the third month of pregnancy. However, as for the rest of the six, Anton let her used dummy rounds or snap caps. 

It was because Yanmei was already getting better than Anton did not want her to lose the skills. Marksmanship could easily be forgotten without practice. 

Aside from the firing range, Yanmei practiced on moving targets, Iseul and Chun-Ho, from a nearby range within the city, still using dummy rounds. 

At the end of her sixth-month pregnancy, Yanmei could already hit a bulse eye in five out of ten rounds.
