Chapter 13: Ridicule (2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Unless they wanted to go themselves, most of the new recruits were forced to go to the military by their own families.
The conditions for joining the military used to be relaxed, but lately, the requirements are stricter than before. Even if one joined the military, he might not be able to stay for too long in the camp.
There was only a wave of students who wanted to join the military, but Song Yin never thought that Gu Qingjiu would be so brave!
“Can you handle it, joining the military?”
There was a trace of contempt in Song Yin’s voice.
It was as if Gu Qingjiu going to join the military was a heinous thing.
Gu Qingjiu felt uncomfortable hearing it.
Her head was still lowered and she used a feeble voice like a mosquito to say, “Yes, I want to join the military.”
Her cold affirmative tone made people feel slightly stunned.
It was like a thorn pierced into cotton.
Seeing her attitude, Song Yin felt uninterested and threw the distribution form aside. “Forget it, I don’t care about your decision. If you want to join the military, come to school the day after tomorrow. The camp will send someone for a check. I’ll hand in your form tomorrow…”
While talking, she looked at the crumpled form and frowned. “Oh my god, what did you do with it? It’s so crumpled!”
Gu Qingjiu did not want to stay any longer after hearing what she wanted to hear. She softly added, “Goodbye, Miss Song.”
And then left the office.
As soon as Gu Qingjiu left, the teachers of the other classes curiously asked Song Yin, “Miss Song, she’s a student from your class, right? She’s going to join the military? She seems to be quite courageous!”
When Song Yin heard this, she flashed a sarcastic smile. “I think she’s joining the military for fun. What does she treat the military camp as? Just watch. It won’t take long for her to come crying back. She can’t bear the hardships of the military camp!”
Song Yin’s words were biased and the other teachers did not know how to reply.
“She’s called Gu Qingjiu? It’s a nice name.”
“Nice name? She doesn’t deserve the name!” Song Yin said.
When the other teachers saw that she was unhappy, they were slightly embarrassed and stopped their discussion.
When Gu Qingjiu returned to class, she was met with stupefied or indifferent pairs of eyes.
It was the end of class and she went back to her seat in silence to pack up her things. Because after today, she could officially leave school.
“Gu Qingjiu, I heard that you’re going to join the military?”
Xie Yuning from the study committee came to Gu Qingjiu with a mocking expression on her face.
Gu Qingjiu raised her head and looked at her indifferently. She did not answer her.
“Why are you mute?”
Being ignored by Gu Qingjiu again, Xie Yuning was furious. “Are you not taking your classmates seriously because you’re leaving school? If you get rich and successful, you won’t even want to see us anymore, right?”
“How can she be successful? Join the military? I think she’s there to be a joke!”
A female classmate, who was Xie Yuning’s follower, said with a bit of contempt.
Gu Qingjiu was still silent.
“She’s ignoring you and you keep talking to her. Is it worth the trouble?”
A sarcastic voice came from not far away.
Xie Yuning’s expression stiffened. Turning around, she saw Zhong Xiaoxiao, with both her arms crossed coupled with a mocking expression on her face.
