Saturday. Gu Qingjiu woke up early in the morning. Taking the chance that most people were still asleep, Gu Qingjiu quickly went to meet up with the Chief Instructor.
Qi Xiaoran did not return the night before.
Gu Qingjiu washed up and changed into a simple knitted sweater.
She didn’t want to parade in her everyday uniform and shop with the Chief Instructor wearing only that.
That would attract nosy people’s attention, and it would eventually get uploaded on Weibo.
It would take around ten minutes for her to walk to the camp.
Gu Qingjiu arrived at the Chief Instructor’s office not over ten minutes later.
One glance and she saw his lean figure leaning against the jeep at the side.
His figure was slightly bent, but that did not prevent him from looking any more handsome.
In the misty morning air, he gave off a cool, deity-like feeling.
He fiddled with a lighter with his slender fingers and looked exquisite from all angles.
Seeing the Chief Instructor again, Gu Qingjiu could feel an insuppressible excitement welling up.
She walked over and greeted him with a smile. “Chief Instructor.”
He Niancheng didn’t turn to look at her. A glint flashed across his long and narrow eyes as he pursed his lips slightly. “Let’s go.”
He went to the driver’s seat while Gu Qingjiu opened the door to the front passenger seat.
As long as it was this jeep, the chassis was way too high…
After she had fastened her seat belt, He Niancheng stepped on the accelerator and they drove out.
On a cold winter morning, the winds were bitingly cold.
The jeep’s windows were not closed tightly so the biting wind could get in through the gaps.
It was so cold that Gu Qingjiu’s face started to hurt from it.
The howling sounds of the wind made it a little noisy.
Gu Qingjiu was about to reach out to close the window when it automatically winded up by itself.
With that, it instantly cut off all noise.
And the biting chill on her face vanished.
The car regained its peaceful atmosphere. Gu Qingjiu pursed her lips but didn’t talk.
Perhaps because it was too boring or perhaps because no one was talking, Gu Qingjiu took out her cell phone to play games.
“Your new instructor, is his surname Mu?”
Suddenly hearing him talk, Gu Qingjiu immediately turned to look at him. “Yes, that’s his surname.”
And he remained silent once again.
Gu Qingjiu struggled a little with this awkwardness before she finally asked, “Chief Instructor, is there something you wish to know?”
“Nothing, I’m just asking.”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
She often felt stifled whenever she talked to the Chief Instructor.
“We will be reaching in two hours. If you’re bored, you can nap a little.”
He suddenly said that.
Gu Qingjiu replied mutely, “It’s okay. I’m used to waking up early. Even if I wanted to, I can’t fall asleep.”
He Niancheng paused. Hearing that depressed tone, he spoke, “I’ll let you go home and return to the camp tomorrow.”
“Really?”
With a ‘whoosh’, Gu Qingjiu’s expression seemed to come back to life as she looked at He Niancheng with sparkling eyes.
“Can I? Chief Instructor, can I really? But you’re not my instructor anymore… I’m worried that my instructor now won’t agree.”
Gu Qingjiu was initially thrilled, but upon recalling that her current instructor wasn’t He Niancheng, she grew solemn again.
“If I say you can, you can.”
Those words didn’t allow any doubts, and it seemed to calm Gu Qingjiu down. “Then… How do I apply for leave from the military?”
“I will let them know. You don’t have to apply for it. Don’t worry, just go back.”
“I understand! Thank you, Chief Instructor!”
Gu Qingjiu was definitely happy that she could go home.
As expected, the Chief Instructor was an angel. This never changed!
